What Would America Look Like
If White Folks Had Their Way?

 

"I’d submit, if white Americans had their druthers
the USA would go back to 1956 'Sundown Laws' and
'curfews' for Blacks . 'Don’t let the sun go down
and your black ass still be in-town boy!!!' 
Yes, our children wouldn't be allowed at Disneyland."


I know, I know . . . trust me, I know - white folks, doing as they damn-well please, with no real “civilized” societal checks and balances . . . it’s a scary, scary . . . scary-ass horror movie.

Yes, “horror” is the word of the day - based on the barbarism employed to create this empire from Indian reservations to plantations to internment camps and to maintain it Nagasaki and Hiroshima. These actions illustrate how mean-spirited and evil this dominant tribe can be - and, what drastic, draconian measures they’re willing-to, as a people, as a WASP culture sink-to in order to remain on top and maintain their undeserving level of “comfortableness and privileged “- which was undeniably achieved and preserved with “colored” people’s blood, sweat and tears.

Nevertheless, the question is “ if everyday, average, run of the mill White folks had their way, possessed a “magic wand” or a flame-haired “Jennie” if you will, granting them “white-washed” wishes - what would they do to America, how would US society look?

I believe we’d go back, back, way back to their golden era, the “good old days” they long for, somewhere around circa 1925 or so . . . when we all “knew our places.”

Let’s commence with the mundane and inexplicable wishes n’ whims of mainstream white America . . . .

It would be, again, as it was in much of this country immoral, unethical and down right plain-old “uppity” to “look” White folks in the eye. “Eye-to-eye” contact was regarded as arrogant, not knowing, understanding and this is most import “accepting” ones inferior place and pitiful plight in life. In this same vein Blacks had to refer to whites with social “handles” and titles, e.g., Mr, Miss, sir . . . “ while the white person they’re speaking-to could refer to them in any manner they chose, “boy”, “gal” or hey nigger bitch . . . ! White Americans would love to return to this ‘working relationship.”

Yes, I firmly believe if Trump’s troops had they way . . . we’d return-to these accepted customs and embraced practices. There are millions of white Americans who would desire US society be restructured to provide them this form of artificial, fake, fabricated feeling-of “superiority” and make-believe respect.

If White America could ‘wish upon a star . . .” we’re looking at everything from segregated National Park campgrounds to segregated cemeteries. The later has always compelled me to find that whim - to be “buried” with only other white people somewhat of an undeniable indicator that white racism and their notions of superiority are irrational, illogical, twisted, perverted, and tragically wide-spread throughout US culture.

Racism is as ”All-American” as hot-dogs, Cokes, Corvettes and the Klan.

Translation; the crimson n’ grey “Confederacy” isn’t merely a outdated geographical location, but rather a contemporary “state of mind” for millions of White folks. I can’t make that point too many times.

I’d bet white folks would like to return to the days when Black folks couldn’t sit on juries which “weigh, measure and pound” White people. Black police officers couldn’t arrest white folks, they could “detain” them until a white officer arrived on the scene. Return to the days when blacks couldn’t congregate in numbers greater than 3 . . . it made rightfully paranoid white people even more paranoid.

Honestly it’s a no-brainer here - if white folks had their way . . . if someone died and made them king, they’d return this country to total racial segregation - 21st century American Apartheid; since our neighborhoods and churches are basically and vastly already segregated the next logical step would be to officially segregate the schools again, the stores and malls, parks, theaters, hospitals, hotels, restaurants . . . you name it, boats, planes, busses and trains.

I think more than half of white America would like to never be” forced” nor “coerced” to have to “mix n’ mingle” with the preordained ‘help” , i.e., black people. Interracial dating and marriage would be again outlawed. White men harbor a vast-array of insecurities but none so obvious as their “penis envy” of Black males. Look, between Porn, Hollywood and Broadway . . . its unmistakable the white man fears Black men’s masculinity and sensuality, believing he can’t meet, match nor imitate it.

Elvis, Pete Maravich, Fred Astaire, Michael Bolton and Tom Jones . . . white men with soul and heart are an endangered species.

As well as white guys believe white women believe Black guys are inherently “cooler” than white guys. We can “walk and chew gum at the same time,” as Obama can do. We can be a hi-IQ “nerdy” architect, chemist, engineer or brain surgeon - who can still hoop, still do a little dance, sing a little song . . get down tonight with our woman . . and that well-rounded, “smooth” conception of black men intimidates and scares white men. So much so they work overtime helping us to “self-destruct”, derail and eliminate ourselves from the game of life.

And if white men could, they’d unquestionably put white women back in their subservient place, keep “their” women barefoot, unread and with-child . . . they’d bring back “the rule of thumb . . .” Google it.

Speaking of white women; they begrudgingly, deep-down inside believe black women have all the curves, full-lips n’ hips, spunk n’ fire they can’t buy online.“ Black women have that “it” real, strong white men “crave,” while too possessing all the steel nerves, grit, iron will and determination white women aren’t “allowed-to” . . . forced-to acquire in our society. Black women, on the other hand were, in-part, due to necessity because the black man was strategically castrated and decapitated - are the original “super women “ who has shown over the decades, if not centuries what she can she do . . .

I can wash out forty four pairs of socks and have 'em hangin' out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozens shirts 'fore you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
I can rub and scrub til this old house is shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, and powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing 'til four A.M. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six, and start all over again
If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin' you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
I got a twenty dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you….

Yeah you bet, black women have been doing all that and more since 1609.

I’d submit, if white Americans had their druthers the USA would go back to 1956 “Sundown Laws” and “curfews” for Blacks . “Don’t let the sun go down and your black ass still be in-town boy!!!” Yes, our children wouldn't be allowed at Disneyland. As it was yesteryear, city zoos would be off limits to blacks, or, we’ll go back to swimming in the city pool on Fridays only . . . after white folks swam in it all week, then they ‘’d drain it after we polluted it that one day.

I ask you, what type of “inferior” branding and brainwashing of all self-worth is that?

Can I tell you what this type hostile social climate created/creates . . . “If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.”
― Carter G. Woodson, The Mis-Education of the Negro

Trump’s philosophical cohearts desire Black folks be mildly educated, slightly socialized, broke, barefoot and worried only about where he or she will get there next meal . . . . desperate and fighting one another over the crumbs off Mr Charley’s table.

I’d suggest Trump’s America, they’re collective urban hillbilly “wet-dream,” is to deport and/or imprison virtually all Americans of color, but specifically and particularly black people. Most white people would like to make the nation Mormon Tabernacle choir white . . . the fewer dumb, dirty, lazy, moral-less people from “shithole countries,” the better!

Please don’t smile, chuckle nor dim-mindedly dismiss these suggestions of “how” White folks would change America . . . don’t forget a “separate and unequal” America was what this empire was until black folks managed to kick, claw and punch our way out of the white man’s personal Utopia and create change for women and other Americans of color.. Black Americans are “born-underdogs” who achieve, overachieve . . . despite being born “against all odds” into this angry white man’s rigged game of life.

White folks would bring back vigilante justice, in other words lynch mobs. Do you think white folks would still today stand and smile with black folks hanging in the background? I do. The hate is that great and blind with contempt.

I’d argue, if white folks, “Trump’s America” were presented with the “opportunity” they’d sell-out and sell-off most of Earth’s humanity to Purple people-eating aliens . . . “if the price was right.’ What’d my Aunt Earlene say . . . “the white man would put his own momma on the corner . . . if the price was right.”`

My aunt may have been a tad racist, but I ask, was she right? Think, Trump sold his daughter/wife off to the Kushners . . . because the price was right.

It’s unsettling and alarming to think what white folks would do if they knew they could “get away with it” knowing no down-the-road consequences and repercussions would exist. What would they do if the whole wide world weren't watching? Listen to Rush or Hannity for a few days, they’ll tell you what they want, and they want what Trump wants. To “make America as white as possible,” by just about any means they can get away with,

I’m reluctant to ask a White person “what they really want this country to look like.” I’m afraid they may tell me the truth.
