FERAL AND LESS FERAL WHITE AMERICANS
FERAL AND LESS FERAL WHITE AMERICANS
The "conservative" feral segment of "white" American politicians has usually defeated that less-feral segment of "white" politicians at most major junctions of colonial, territorial and American history .
I make reference to crossing the Alleghenies, despite Indian-British Treaty confining Europeans to their east .
I make reference to the courts' lack of enforcement of U.S. Constitution equal protections and due process.
I make reference to failed monetary restitution of thousands of black depositors savings by Congress, after Wall Street sharpies had mulcted the Freedmen Savings Bank, whose thefts were expedited by Congress' loosened investment guidelines for freedmens' deposits.
I make reference to failed attempts to make repayments of monetary reparations to African Americans for raging economic and political regressions of racism, Jim Crow, on black self-determination efforts that led to white terrorists' violence in : 1898 in Wilmington , North Carolina; Memphis, Tennessee; Atlanta, Georgia, 1906; E. St. Louis, Illinois , in 1917; many other cities in the "Red Summer" of 1919-1923.
I may reference to the formation of black ghettos, consequent to mass migrations down to today in 2019, and to the deleterious impact on health, education, welfare, labor, property, morality, and happiness.
Less feral white Americans have been most successful when blacks have come to their rescue, like in the Civil War, in the Revolutionary War, as was the case in the War of 1812; the so-called Indian Wars out West with the Buffalo Soldiers ; and in both World Wars. Feral whites had resisted black enlistment and participating as recruits or officers.
Feral whites elected Donald Trump.
Less feral whites need to apply true history of American "democracy" to the republic for which it "stands, one nation under God with liberty and justice for all," as it is written!
