THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

Yes, the time is up for the grievance industry.

I did not care if you lived in your parents basement until you threatened to burn down my property with the same match you just lit your joint with.

Why the keyword, “stupidity”? Another Freeper cuck?

I have this on my wall:

“Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance,

My calmness for acceptance,

And my kindness for weakness.”

The author neglected to mention what I consider the ultimate black privilege; affirmative action. Two Americans with identical qualifications apply for the same positions in government or corporate entities, one black, the other white - the black applicant has an unfair advantage due only to the color of his skin!

I think the author read my mind. The credit limit on tolerating this BS has been reached.

Love this. Very well said. And the author is correct, there are MILLIONS who feel the same.

All true.

We used to hold successful people up as examples. Now, if your hard work pays off, you must be guilty of something.

Those who have no idea what it takes to build something, think they are entitled to a piece of “your” pie.

I have to laugh...remember when people would ask their successful friends for a job? Now they want to skip that part and they just ask for equity.

This pretty much echoes my train of thought for the past couple of years. I’m fed up. I believe in fighting in self defense ONLY...but...

I recently put see through scope mounts on my 22. At 30 yards you can cover 10 shots with a quarter. I’m stocked up with enough ammo to keep most thugs out of the house for as long as I expect to live through it...22, 9mm, 243, 16 ga, 380...

And 3 years ago all I had was a half dozen buckshot...

I’m getting really sick of these turds. While being non religious, I do strongly believe in the “golden rule”, according to most of the world’s major religions.

Treat other people the way you want them to treat you.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto uou...if you have to have the bible version...yes, I did read it, about 6 times cover to cover.

And this is basically the idea the author is trying to convey. I don’t mind if you voice your opinion, until you try to scream it at me then tell me to shut the hell up...

All you have to do is ask yourself, would I want him to do that to me? If the answer is no, don’t do it to him. Go ahead, try it. Pick one of the 10 commandments and look at it that way. You’ll find you never have to worry about the 10 commandments again, just that one guideline.

Thou shalt not steal...

Would I want you to break in and steal my tv? Nope. So I shouldn’t do that to you. Same for the other 9.

And you don’t have to be religious to live that way. I wouldn’t dream of burning down a businees and stealing everything in sight for sake of a political narrative...

I would never even think of walking up and punching someone just because his political views differ from mine. But this is the kind of mentality these people are promoting.

And I’m getting damn tired if it. My patience is nearing its end...

I got my first lesson of "caring" many years ago when I applied for college financing. I came from a solid middle class family, but there was no money set aside for college and I needed financial help as much as anyone. Even back then, I was aghast at how many grants and scholarships I was not eligible to apply for because I was a POS white guy. Yet, what few grants and scholarships I was eligible to apply for, so was everyone else. Boy, was I privileged! Thankfully, I was able to secure loans and attend college. Loans that I had to pay every penny back, with high interest .

That was long ago. I'm sure it's exponentially tougher for a white guy to get free college money. Could explain why a statistically significant number of more females are in college these days compared to males.
