America – really? \u00a0You elected a man who was the spokesperson and promoter of conspiracy theories as your president? Really? \u00a0Come on – that can’t be real. \u00a0Are you really that racist, America?<\/p>\n
The last president spent eight years in office – an African American. \u00a0He was elected – and re-elected. \u00a0He was respected around the world. \u00a0He wasn’t perfect, but he did a pretty good job. \u00a0He had no scandals during his time in office. \u00a0He had no affairs. \u00a0He spent his time with his family. \u00a0He raised two daughters and now into their teen years – some say, the most difficult time for parents. \u00a0And still, after seeing all of that you elected who? \u00a0A man who was the spokesperson in Chief for the Birther Movement? \u00a0Who was on television and\u00a0in countless videos speaking far and wide about Barack Obama not being an American. \u00a0Who called your duly elected president a liar. \u00a0A man who claimed that your American president was living a lie to his fellow Americans by claiming to be an American when he was actually born in Africa.<\/p>\n
America, you laughed at this Donald Trump, the Conspiracy theorist in Chief – and then you elected him your next president? \u00a0You made him the butt of many jokes and the late night comics had a field day.<\/p>\n
America, is your need to identify as White that strong. \u00a0You are, after all, the ones who set up “White” as a race. \u00a0So I guess we should not be that surprised when you feel the need to protect this “White American” race. \u00a0You didn’t realize when you set up this White race identity that it would not only be about slavery and identifying the other as “Colored”, “Black” and now “African American”, but would become your ingrained identity and keep you forever needing to be seen as “better than”. \u00a0You went so far as \u00a0setting up White Privilege to go along with that White American identity. \u00a0Jealous of the English Colonialism with which they tried to rule the world?<\/p>\n
Problem with that is colors always seemed to me to be more interesting, have more depth, be about something. \u00a0“White” seemed so lacking in \u2026.. something. \u00a0And now I see what “White” lacks – \u00a0Character? Ethics? Truth? And has a little “Evil” ingrained. \u00a0 We thought, at some point, that you would just become “American”.<\/p>\n
Who is this man? \u00a0Who is this conspiracy theorist who so portrayed your president for eight years – and longer – as an African who was fooling the American public by claiming to be an American when in fact he was not. \u00a0And you – citizens of the United States – elected this man, this conspiracy theorist,\u00a0your president. \u00a0Donald Trump – president elect of the United States. Chief Conspiracy Theorist.<\/p>\n
Your founding fathers must be proud because they slipped into the Constitution this Electoral College, which they hoped would insure\u00a0that White Males (hopefully) Northern Europeans would always be president of these United States of America. \u00a0You kept that Electoral College in your Constitution for hundreds of years as a bulwark against any serious kind of desegregation. \u00a0Wow! What foresight you all had. \u00a0But what a price you have paid. \u00a0Isn’t that what stopped Al Gore? \u00a0But then maybe you were right to do that because wasn’t that – no, couldn’t have been, must have been someone else – a look alike. \u00a0His character wouldn’t let him. \u00a0But then he claimed to have invented the internet, which dropped his character a rung or two, so maybe that was him running into that Tower.<\/p>\n
And so the founders have reached into the 21st century with that desire to maintain slavery and have caused you Americans to elect a man who is:<\/p>\n
HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN!<\/p>\n
Abraham Lincoln didn’t bring you down! – he raised you up.<\/p>\n
Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t bring you down! – he raised you even higher.<\/p>\n
but Donald Trump is bringing you wayyyyyyyy down.<\/p>\n
And look at how your BIG MEN are falling all over themselves running in to kiss the ring. Their character – their ethics – their very souls are on display for all to see.<\/p>\n
Wasn’t that Mitt Romney we saw running into Trump Tower and having dinner with the Almighty One?<\/p>\n
And we though Mitt Romney was one of the good guys. \u00a0When he saw what was happening with the election in his beloved country, he stood up and was counted as someone who said he was not going along with this travesty. \u00a0He didn’t say “evil” but he might as well have because what he did say came down to the same thing. But what was he really doing? \u00a0Did he read the tea leaves and saw that Hillary Clinton was going to win so he was not downing Donald Trump and taking an ethical stand, but positioning himself to be in line for some kind of substantial position in Hillary’s government?<\/p>\n
Oh, Oh, Nooooooooo! Not him too! \u00a0Oh my goodness – there goes Al Gore – into the Tower! \u00a0Well, we always had our suspicions about him. \u00a0He tried, but he just couldn’t pull off being such a good guy. \u00a0And now, we see him totally uncovered.<\/p>\n
Oh, help me to my seat and cover my eyes and ear, I don’t know how much more of this I can stand.<\/p>\n
Oh – and when your new president goes traveling around the world with his ‘wife” – which one? \u00a0The one who allowed all those pictures to be taken of herself in the various kinds of poses that a prostitute takes to advertise her wares. \u00a0Now, be careful here, I am not calling her a prostitute, but I said clearly, the kind of pictures a prostitute takes – naked on a bear rug with high heels up in the air and handcuffed to the bed and etc. \u00a0Some are calling her a soft porn model. \u00a0We will just look at the pictures circling the world and shake our heads. \u00a0Trump better get the Muslims and soon because when those pictures of his wife start circulating in religious Muslim circles – oh my!<\/p>\n
And how does your president-elect handle his anti-semitism. \u00a0Well, his daughter has put him in a trap because she went off and married an Orthodox Jew. \u00a0Well, not only did she do that, but she became one herself. \u00a0Now you know in Judaism, the children take on the identity of the mother, so if she hadn’t converted, her children would not be in danger of being Jews. \u00a0But she went off and did the thing so now her husband and her children are Jews. So how did your President-elect handle that? \u00a0Is that his anger at this marriage, all of you Americans, that turned him so viciously against Muslims? \u00a0So badly so that he wants to eliminate all of them! \u00a0Is this going to be another purge by the Norther Europeans. \u00a0The last time they tried to get rid of the Jews. \u00a0This time there is a Jew sitting in the halls of power so they are going to try to get rid of all the Muslims. \u00a0Well, just as well. \u00a0Eventually, somehow, they will rid the world of all those they various and sundry people they consider “minorities”.<\/p>\n
Oh, America, my heart aches for you. \u00a0Don’t you know you have to pay for your sins? \u00a0Haven’t you seen enough of God’s retribution to know that your day is coming? \u00a0Maybe this is it! \u00a0Maybe this is the beginning of your having to pay for the slavery you brought on Africans. \u00a0Or maybe this is the beginning of your retribution for what you have done to those who lived in the land before the Northern Europeans arrived. \u00a0What are they called today? \u00a0Indians? \u00a0No, that is politically incorrect – Native Americans. \u00a0What a name. \u00a0Call them Native Americans and then invade and destroy the little bits and pieces of land they have left and make sure it will soon be covered with the results of the many oil spills that will happen,as those Northern Europeans make loads of money in the companies that are going to dig up their privately owned land drilling for what? \u00a0Covering up what? \u00a0Taking back what? \u00a0Is this a new form of genocide – against those you have given the honorific title of Native American and made them think that this title was their idea?<\/p>\n
Oh, America, I pray for you every day. \u00a0There are so many good people in your country. \u00a0What is going to happen to them. \u00a0They seem to be allowing these few others to take over and destroy every dream they have ever had. \u00a0Or maybe that is the problem – have they been so treated they don’t have anymore dreams?<\/p>\n
My goodness, some of those good people are Northern Europeans. \u00a0Then who are these who have so wrecked the land and continue to wreck the land? \u00a0Who are those who let them? \u00a0I understand Donald Trump owns stock in the company about to destroy the land of the native Americans to cause oil to pollute the water so they will have nothing to drink. \u00a0And what about the rest of us – we won’t either.<\/p>\n
You have allowed whoever these people are to destroy your country. \u00a0To invade and change the dreams of your people. \u00a0You started out in such a beautiful way. \u00a0We really hoped you would succeed. \u00a0But you have now been derailed and who knows if your country will ever be the same again.<\/p>\n
Germany certainly didn’t expect to descend into a Nazi state. \u00a0And today, it seems as though it is only the Germans who really recognize the danger you are in America. \u00a0Have they learned from their mistakes?<\/p>\n
So what now? \u00a0As your country began to become diverse – that beautiful diverse place where all were supposed to be welcome – what is the quote “bring me your tired,\u2026.” \u00a0That poem written by Emma Lazarus and cut into the stone with that gift from France to be a beacon to Exiles from all over the world<\/p>\n
“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
\nWith conquering limbs astride from land to land;
\nHere at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
\nA mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
\nIs the imprisoned lightning, and her name
\nMother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
\nGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
\nThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.<\/p>\n
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she Oh, No! \u00a0Is the writer of this poem – Emma – a woman? Is that why they turned against immigrants? \u00a0Will that open the door to taking her poem off the Statue of Liberty? \u00a0And a better, more American under Donald Trump type poem in its place?<\/p>\n Well, that is certainly no longer America. \u00a0Will it ever be again? \u00a0With Donald Trump and his friends – not likely. The United States of America used to travel the world telling others how they should change to be more like America. \u00a0Walk hand in hand into the sunset with the Casino Operator and his Soft Porn Model wife – naahh, that doesn’t sound quite right.<\/p>\n And here you are America – flirting with becoming another Russia; another fascistic state with its super wealthy governing people and underlings in line for bread – you can ignore this if you dare, but stay on this road and that day is coming and sooner than you think.<\/p>\n I used to think America was the greatest nation on earth. \u00a0Today, I realize you are the most foolish.<\/p>\n \u00a0___________________________________________________<\/p>\n
\nWith silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,<\/strong>
\nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,<\/strong>
\nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore.<\/strong>
\nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,<\/strong>
\nI lift my lamp beside the golden door!”<\/strong><\/p>\n
