Two Different Worlds 2

The world of those who get it and that of those who do not. From Cleveland dot com.

Someone who can look at Trayvon Martin’s death and not see him as a martyr to white racism lives in a different world from me.

    Two countries, a chasm between the two. After WWII we did de-Nazification and had MacArthur stamp out the-emperor-is-god and warlord-ism. It was necessary and has served the world pretty good, made very successful civilized nations. Not doable here, obviously, if you get my drift. The two countries, immiscible, contaminates every aspect of American life.

    As I have said, slavery is America’s original sin.

     

    When the writer in the Bible wrote that (I’m paraphrasing) the sin would contaminate not one, but seven times seven generations, that was not prophecy.  

     

    That was sociology.

     

    We cannot expunge our past.  

     

    We cannot even atone for it, for our fellow citizens will not allow it.
