NATION-CIDE
NATION-CIDE
Like Muslim suicide bombers, like pilots who deliberately crash their passenger planes, like those who take their own lives, one wonders whether those white American mavens of money and power have reset this nation's future on another suicide course, from which it was barely rescued by black soldiers in the Civil War?
This "browning of America," popularized in mass media and funded studies, is discreet coded language for the perception of the prospective diminution of that old "whiteness" construct, as the prevailing national modality, paradigm, and pathology.
That real "Brown Bomber" is felt and feared, by its proponents & practitioners as the fulfillment of perverse prophesy as penance for grievous sins against man and God in its maltreatment of blacks, and non-white others for so long!
Some would rather crash the country, rather commit "nation-cide," to utterly destroy it, than to see such an horrible eventuation!
Such "nationciders" are our nation's legal, social, political, and economic suicide bombers, pilots, and faux-patriots.
They are uber-rich expatriates, multinationals. They are bankers, brokers, business-men and women who lie, steal, cheat and kill. They are federal and state: judges, prosecutors, and police who disembowel justice and fairness every day. They are legislators who pass facially-neutral yet discriminatory laws. They are executives and administrators who fail their duty.
They are scholars, lawyers, doctors, journalists, preachers and teachers who look the other way, instead of help. They are scientists, engineers, technicians, who have little regard for the impact of their contrivances and research. They are that vast non-informed electorate whose votes are always the proxy of maniacal demagogues. They are also those who do not vote, who do not read, do not really care what happens, having been down for so long, that down "don't bother them no more!"
They are all of us who do less than we could and should do in our daily lives to avert this doom!
Nationciders awake!
