I’ve got what I calculate is a “legitimate and pressing question for Trump’s America...”

Those European Americans who’ve anointed themselves as the only true, legit 100% Americans, those who’ve crowned themselves the only real “patriots.” They come in various shades of Anglo-Saxon: “Conservatives,” “Reagan Republicans,” “Christians,” “Neo-Confederates” and, “Libertarians.” The rank n’ file, and fat-cats like few others. With this noted, I’ve got an urgent, consequential, life or death question to ask you, and for you

What “America” do White people want...? Which version? Because there’s no argument about it: the “Right” apparently believes terms like “unity,” “diversity,” “equality” and “inclusion” are today, in 21st century America, “dirty” words, “fightin’” words in the intolerant minds of America’s vast white population.

I don’t think I have to paint the picture beyond the obvious. It appears most Americans of all stripes would agree this nation is headed towards something horrific and bloody, civil unrest and violence beyond anything we’ve witnessed since the Civil War.

White America, the 80 to 130 or 140 million European Americans who at the end of the day would prefer Vladdy Putin and a dictatorial authoritarian regime over Kamala Harris and the liberties, justice, and freedoms for all which would come with her democratically elected Presidency. Why? Because they’ve concocted this persecuted and mistreated victim narrative that believes “the sky is falling” because White Americans have lost their dominance and their birthright advancements. They’re claiming to today be at the merciless mercy of people of color - who are savagely violent, armed, dangerous, and envious of the White man’s obvious superiority.

With this doom and gloom on the looming horizon, they must scrap the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and resort to any means required to take back their America and make it 1940 America. Despite this, White utopia was a completely fabricated “fool’s paradise” in which White men had unbridled clout and unlimited influence over all matters… which mattered. I’d call it audacious power, i.e., White Supremacy, and it ruled the land in a tyrannical manner. Everyone knew their White man assigned place, and begrudgingly accepted it.

Ahhh, the very good old days, right boys?

It only seems logical to avoid a national race war. Black Americans, and actually all Americans of color and Liberal “free” White women should be asking White Americans “what is it that they want.” What does their Anglo-Saxon empire look, sound, feel, smell and taste like? What do proud rednecks want to hammer America into?

So I ask “What do White people want?” Clearly, you want at least some form of “minority rule” for... eternity, right? In the year 2277, will we still have George Wallace High Schools and Robert E. Lee Avenues from Alaska to Nebraska, Fargo to Key Largo?

What, America, do you want?

Do you want to return to the pre-civil rights era? Is the dream to have Blacks and Latinos relegated to the “back of the plane?” Segregated schools, as if they can get any more racially segregated…? Segregated hospitals? Supermarkets, malls, banks, restaurants, theaters, … on down the list? Blacks can only bowl on Thursdays and Sundays? Can we still hike in the mountains? Are we allowed to golf?

Resegregate campgrounds and cemeteries? Is that where Trump’s good ol’ US of A stands today?

Or do you want to go back to slavery? Numerous polls that indicate roughly 25% to 30% of White folks believe everybody and everything was simply better for all parties when Black people were human property. So no, I’m not being dramatic, Black folks must ponder if White folks are pondering re-enslavement. Without question, we believe White folks are capable and able to put us back in chains.

Ol’ Joe Biden said you people wanted to put us back in chains...is he lying or does he know his peeps?

Do you want to send us all, each and every one of us “back to Africa?”

Ol’ Abe, Black folks great White father wanted to send us back, or to the Caribbean/Central America, because he was convinced the White race would not accept and embrace Black people. He was all so right, no? Instead, voices like Frederick Douglass convinced us we’d earned a right to fight for our freedom and 5th class citizenship. Here we are a century-and-a-half later and White America hasn’t really changed their minds and hearts about human-hood.

Do you want to cut up the country, create the Land of White People or Trumptopia? Say 10 states, the Northwest: Utah Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, etc., (personally this is what’d I’d prefer if I were an angry, paranoid and insecure, mad at virtually all humanity White man)

Do you want to go full-blown genocidal (again), go Nazi Hitler and turn on the gas chambers and light the giant ovens…? Red Dawn, the Russians come to help you cleanse America during this second civil war?

These are really the only options we, us, you, and I have. Since we can’t all get along, or at least it’s clear White folks don’t want to “go along with the get along” because they want to be alone - isolated and insulated from the unwashed little people of color.

It seems a “given” that mainstream White America has no noble desire to “mix n’ mingle” with other races. Fred and Barney don’t want Black neighbors or Latino classmates, they don’t want Korean in-laws or a “liberal” minded female boss. They don’t want to pay taxes that pave urban roads, fund housing, healthcare, or education. They just want to fund the police which keeps the undesirables under control… by any savage means necessary

Am I lying?

We have irreconcilably conflicting and diametrically opposed differences, commencing from the beginning: Columbus and the Pilgrims were imperialistic invaders, not noble explorers. Inexcusable genocide was the tool used to construct the new world. Custer was the bad guy, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull - the good guys. Slavery was indefensible. Keeping women barefoot and pregnant was and remains unjustifiable.

Most Americans of color, Liberals, Progressives, and Independents oppose cutthroat, Trumpian, Laissez-Faire Capitalism, which is politically maintained for the “obscene” profit of America’s aristocrats - the unleashed and embolden profiteers who’ve no qualms strip-mining the world and running the Colorado river dry. While it seems the “Right” rejects medical/technological advancements, while we on the “Left” embrace the sciences tomorrow brings. Those of us on the “Left” want a public educational system that examines all sides but seeks the naked truth - not Confederate bedtime fairy tales...

Irreconcilably conflicting and diametrically opposed differences.

I and scores of people would like to hear what you people want, really want, so perhaps we can pound out a deal, a compromise which might save us all from the hell I believe millions of White folks seem damn near eager to wage upon the American masses. A conversation should be started in order to negotiate a lasting peace - a deal must be struck.
