Rosa Parks and the homeless and the bus.

White supremacy is an ideological tool used to exploit others. One of the favorite weapons of white supremacy is the scapegoating of another group. It is more dangerous than the gun. The gun will remain in the kitchen drawer next to the forks while there is no motive to use it. Only way guns could become used is if one starts ingesting the gun powder residue one the forks which may give some just the type of brain damage essential to join a racial supremacy movement. Pretending that another group ought not have something and it needs to be taken from them becomes a motive to use a gun. At the founding of our country, these groups were the American Indians and the Blacks. We could think of our country as a great big bus moving us forward and occasionally backward. The engine of our country, since the beginning, is of human rights and exploiting others, human rights for those on the front of the bus and exploitation for those on the back of the bus. The homeless are on the back of the bus. Despite recent efforts of people like Rosa Parks, the legacy of exploiting others continues. Rosa Parks recently died. I like Rosa Parks. She refused to get onto the back of the bus and she was willing to use her gun if she had to. Thanks in part to her efforts, people's feelings toward Blacks has improved over the years. Scapegoating of Blacks has greatly weakened, yet the scapegoating in general has weakened to a mush lesser degree. The scapegoats of male white supremacy have moved on to new groups: Arabs, Muslims, Gays, poor people, and Hispanic immigrants. In an ironic twist, these days certain kinds of Black people join forces with, and are welcomed into, the community that was exclusively white and who carry a torch for exploitation faction of our founding fathers: Condusa Rice, Colen Powel, Janice Brown, etc... Perhaps some day, if we continue to practice the always blame somebody else game, and we become a country with a white minority, it will be the white man's turn to be the nigger. In a historic group sense, white people would be getting what is coming to them. But these future whites didn't cause the problems they will get in trouble for. It would be nice if we could once and for all establish that human rights is principle our country will live by as opposed to the principal of exploitation. I don't have a complete solution to this problem. Conservatives, as heirs to the legacy of white supremacy, do have a solution to this problem: pretend it doesn't exist.
