The mess that is America erupted in a clash between 2 radical groups, one Black and one white. This is the only country where freedom of speech and expression is universal even when those actions are not universally popular or accepted. The extremeness of the hate and vitriol went viral over social media and the news. These recent actions are the result of the Confederate battle flag being removed from a Southern State capitol. The controversy took on a life of its own when Historians and Extremely “biased” spoke out against the removal but for different reasons. The “EB’S” consider it a symbol of their “Whiteness and privilege” while the Historians consider it a part of Confederate history as it relates to relatives who served in the Civil war. Whoever is Correct(?)the dustup show that there are still pockets of Radical Racism which are violent and potentially dangerous to non white residents of this country. Is it just me or has the Covert Racism of the United States emerged full-blown after the election of a Black man to the Presidency of the United States? This phenomenon(?) has been exacerbated by our high placed political leaders(?) who use the racial fears of their constituents to keep their offices and push their agendas which help no one but them selves and their big money donors. America was founded by immigrants who over time “stole” the lands and resources from the “Native Americans” but that was OK or made Ok by the powers in the Government. That is similar or the same as the Government sanctioned segregation of years ago and still covertly occurs today. So today in 2015 we are fighting the civil war, a race war and a political war all of which are fueled by folks whose sole purpose is to keep the uneasiness between Races and people in general in order to maintain control of the Government by way of electing purchasable officials. So I have to ask: When will we belong?
