According to a certain group of howler monkeys dead-set on derailing my husband's campaign for a seat on the Freeport Town Council, I am a racist because I stated, in one post, that America does not suffer from systemic racism. This very denial makes me a racist, shout these small-minded people unable to comprehend any but the most childish concepts.
I will not bore you or myself with a detailed list naming names of African Americans who have achieved success in this country as jurists, legislators, doctors, lawyers, teachers, musicians, business executives, actors, sports figures, scientists, journalists, artists, and TV personalities. I will merely point out that they exist in high numbers, each earning millions of dollars in income, enjoying fabulous lifestyles with multiple homes and ridiculous yachts. Would this be the case if America were systemically racist?
So George Floyd, a petty criminal with a long record of jail time and drug addiction, was wrongly and mercilessly killed by a white cop with obvious mental problems, and suddenly all whites have hate in their hearts for all blacks? That conclusion is misguided, stupid and downright silly.
Still, the so called "woke" people who are actually sound asleep believe this claptrap and register their HORROR by doing what? By tearing down ancient statues of historical miscreants or sticking lawn signs outside their homes declaring Black Lives Matter. Sorry but that won't fix it.
So go ahead, ladies -- continue to cast aspersions on my husband because of what I write here, if that makes you feel better about yourselves and your own past misdeeds. (Methinks they doth protest too much.) I agree that racism thrives in the hearts of some Americans, but certainly not in most and certainly not in mine.
