   Minneapolis. It’s hard to be optimistic about any future leadership. Until someone in power confronts the reality of the slow violent revolt of the whites against everyone else, we’re going nowhere but into the maelstrom.

   I was at a gathering recently in which a local public transportation issue was being discussed. I pointed out that part of the opposition to the project was rooted in racism.

   Someone asked, “How can you say that?” I said, “This is Virginia. There’s always an undercurrent of racism.” I grew up here. I know. And it is certainly not restricted to the states of the Confederacy, though I must admit that the racism of the Minneapolis constabulary has rather taken me aback (the recent revelations in Chicago have been no surprise).

   You could easily substitute “United States” for “Virginia” in the above quotation. The more aware I become, the more I realize that the Secesh are still with us, that they have risen again to control their own political party, and that America’s original sin of racism stains our polity still.

   The American Dream is becoming the American nightmare. I am not optimistic.
