As a blunt tool, the Left calls everybody they can a White Supremacist. The Lefties have even called some Conservative Black people this. This somewhat amorphous word or concept similar to fascism exists in the eye of the beholder. Both are terms one can mold and manipulate into whatever it is that they are trying to do or say. These words or concepts do not have a concrete meaning no matter what folks tell you. These are fluid words/concepts that morph over time to be used by wicked people and others in power to get what they want. They are lazy words vomited out into the social ether by vacuous folks with no solid argument or core. Today, let us concentrate on White Supremacy. After all, I am white. I love being white, I am proud of being white, and I really like being a white male.

I’m going to go back to the Obama days to begin. What better place to start a conversation about Whiteness and supremacy than the election of America’s so-called (I will address the so-called in another article) first Black president? I am going to begin when Obama saw a professor friend of his arrested after the professor lost the key to his own home. The neighbors called the police because, to them, it looked like somebody was trying to rob or get into Professor Gates’s home. Professor Gates from Harvard and his arrest is the perfect starting point to talk about race. Some of you are old enough to remember that arrest and probably have not thought of that incident in years. The man misplaced his key and tried to get in his house, cops were called, and Gates became belligerent with law enforcement.

The President of The United States of America hoped aloud, that after that incident in Massachusetts, he wanted all of us to start talking about race. Obama ostensibly yearned for an honest discussion about race relations in America at the time. The problem with that was, and is, relevant today, it seems almost impossible to talk about race. I saw that the former president was desirous of a frank discussion about the state of race relations in our beloved country back then, however, it seemed like caveats might be what he meant. The discussion had and has to be one of how bad the White man is and the digging up of the slave days.

It seems to me that minorities want this discussion as long as the argument leans towards how evil the White man is and not an honest look at all of our contributions to this lack of harmony. White people are forced into a politically correct corner, where we have to take on the part of the villain and then hang that anathema around our collective necks. I have sat back since we elected our first black President, years ago, which was only possible with White votes, and I got sick watching the whole thing unfold. The Black Attorney General of the country at the time was Barack’s wingman Eric Holder. Eric publicly called us all cowards when it came to talking about race after the Gates incident. How many of us think he was calling Black people cowards?

I watched at the time some soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor get away with publicly saying a wise Latino woman could come to a “better” decision than an old white man. Now, knowing that this would have destroyed a White man if he said something like that in reverse and that it would have ended his career, is that equal? Now, you tell me, if we are going to be colorblind and that statement would destroy a White man, then why shouldn’t it destroy a Latino woman? Not only that but when four black men in the city of New Haven failed the civil service exam to become firefighters and sued, Sonia immediately sided with the “race card” element presented in the case and threw out the passing scores of nineteen White firefighters. This is how she acted as a judge in one of her cases. So, does this say that racism against White men is acceptable to her? If we want equality, then equal is equal and that woman Should never have seen a full Senate vote back then, let alone be sitting on our highest court now.

And let’s get a little bit deeper. The Blacks of America have sometimes partnered with Hispanics with their causes and juxtaposed their plight at times. Can we be completely honest here? Hispanic people of all descents have no more or no less disdain for the Black community than White people do. The truth of the matter is that they will only align themselves with the Blacks during any moment in history that will benefit them as a whole. The reality is that the future is on the Hispanic side. The demographics of North America are trending towards Hispanics and Latinos can be just as racist as the next guy or gal. In fact, through my personal experience, I have found them to be more racist in some incidents than any Whites I’ve known.

Central America, South America, and North America, in forty or fifty years, will be primarily of Hispanic descent. It is just the pure numbers of their birth rate and a result of their illegal immigration or invasion depending on your point of view. Europe and its demographics will become primarily Muslim due to their immigration or invasion problems. Now, does anyone in the Black community truly believe that in fifty or sixty years, when Hispanics are the majority in power, they will remember or have any social or economic connection with Blacks? Are African Americans not aware that Hispanics have prejudices against blacks too?

Do African Americans understand that even in the Hispanic community there is a hierarchy? Whether they are from Spain, Mexico, Cuba, or many other places, there is a hierarchy there. Within that world, many do not like each other and think they are better than one another. We’re talking about race; so, let me ask the Black community of America, where do you think you stand in the hierarchy of the Hispanic community? Where will the African Americans be when the Hispanics have complete and unfettered control over every aspect of North America? Do Blacks believe Hispanics will remember their kinship?

C’mon, I’m talking about honesty. We are in the middle of a never-ending national discussion about race and I’m talking about utter honesty. Not that fake honesty that you will see on the news perpetuated by White, liberal, politically correct people who think they are so enlightened and own the edge of the argument of class warfare. We’re talking about the raw truth of racism in America.

I digress, back to Obama. We witnessed the President of The United States publicly jump on a bunch of White cops before he knew what happened with the Gates arrest. For Obama to have immediately jumped to his conclusions and berated those police officers publicly about race at the time, shows exactly why we need an honest conversation about racism. To call at that time, what those White law enforcement officers did “stupid,” and the former president did, showed the kneejerk reaction of Obama on race.

The stupidity of that incident reeked from the over-the-top reaction of the Black professor from Harvard, and Obama was shortsighted to get involved before the facts were out. All of this was a very revealing look at the true nature of Obama on race. Gate’s arrest back then, when it was absolutely clear the whole race element of it and its genesis was born from that angry Black professor, highlights a great lesson. The event revealed hypocrisy at the very least and how deep people’s views on race go. However, it is more than that.

Everyone knows that the demographics of this country are headed toward making White people the minority. What we are seeing is something very similar to what happened in South Africa when apartheid came to an end. The Black revenge was catastrophic when the White minority and his power were taken down. The Blacks took the White’s land; gang raped their woman, and plunged South Africa into a darkness and graveyard of failure that still exists today.

While the Whites were busy back here in America worrying about their “right to choose” and murdering our babies in our wombs, abortion was pushing the White race out of demographic existence. The Hispanics were bringing new lives into the Western hemisphere and steadily raising their numbers through illegal immigration and birthrates. Here, we are as White people, literally on the cliff of demographic irrelevance, and we have to lay down and be handed this label of racism by Black people and the White liberal lemmings. Some Black folks are desirous of an honest conversation about race, and I embrace that. If you want an honest debate about race, then let’s have one.

I want you to tell me why it is that when I drive into eighty percent of Black neighborhoods there are bars on the windows. Tell me about the state of those neighborhoods. Explain that to me. What is with all the bars? Are they not aware that is a fire hazard? Do they not realize if they have a house fire that they are stuck inside due to the bars? What happened to the state of their families, all those kids everywhere with no fathers? All of this Black-on-Black crime and murdering one another fill the newscasts and governmental statistics every day, what is that all about? If you want honesty, well then tell me when Black people made it to the Supreme Court, Congress, and the White House, why they still complain about opportunity. Why does the Black community hold onto old excuses for lack of progress? I am growing tired of that intellectual laziness; it is a very old mindset and outdated thinking.

Let me tell you something that some Black people might not know, but some do. Skin color doesn’t matter, and all of those statements saying that if Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. were White, then he wouldn’t have been arrested, are a complete farce. Let me tell you something and listen to me. If a White man smarts off at a cop and won’t stop, they are going to jail too. How on Earth this lie has been able to be perpetuated is beyond me. White people are dragged out of their own homes in cuffs every damned day. What planet are you living on? Smart off to a cop, don’t stop and you’re going to jail just like Professor Gates of Harvard; I don’t care if the color of your skin is green.

We cannot have an honest discussion of race while White people hide in the politically correct closest and get into the fetal position. Well, to hell with that! What I saw at that time was the Black Attorney General and the President with all his friends stirring the pot of race relations during the Barack Obama era, nothing could be clearer to me. People with power will use race as a tool to get what they want; I don’t care what color they are.

Here is your test. If a White guy could get in trouble with what they are doing and saying, then it is wrong that all races don’t live by that same standard. Either we are equal, or we are headed towards South Africa. Just don’t tell me that I can verbally attack some cop inside my home, then follow him outside and continue the attack like Professor Gates and not be arrested just because I’m White. If that is your intellectual argument, then I’m sorry my brother man, we will never see eye-to-eye. By the way, one of my favorite TV shows I love is “Finding Your Roots” with Professor Gates. I have nothing against the man, he has one of the most meaningful shows I’ve ever seen on television. I am just using his arrest as an example of how we see race in America. There are many examples to show and make this point. Whether it was O.J Simpson turning two White human beings into Pez dispensers, Jussie Smollett faking that the South Side of Chicago has been taken over by MAGA, or the many examples of how Americans see race differently, we have no shortage of finger-pointing on how we see race from diverse lenses.

I am sure, like I do, many Whites care less about the color of your skin and more about the content of your character. I have met a few White folks who believed that they were superior to Blacks. These people are here, and they will never go away, every race has them. However, I will not surrender my White heritage, my common sense, and my pragmatism for any of it, and I won’t be labeled anything less than what I am. I have met plenty of Black and Spanish people who are racist. Just turn on MSNBC, they are not too hard to find. This is America, it is 2024, and like Bill Maher keeps saying, can we live in the year we are living in?
