RE: supposed White Privelege

I'm getting a little tired of folks blaming so-called white folks for the ills happening in the United States today  Here's a little dose of reality:  In my own family's case, my ancestors migrated from Europe in the space of time of 1840-1867.  They used ALL of their families resources just to get to the United States and then when they arrived they were abused, were victims of discrimination, were spat upon, and even called vermin by the state of Missouri. They were forced from their homes by "militias" and were denied basic protections by the Federal Government.  They left their homes with little more than the clothing on their backs and a few provisions with which they made their way into the west.

Did they complain?  I'm sure they must have, but instead of rioting or tearing down their own community, they left their homes after cleaning them and putting them in order.  Rather than fight and destroy, they were compliant.  They moved to locations where nobody else wanted to live and they began to build.  Did they request assistance from the various governments?  NO!  They went to work and created their own environment within which they were more comfortable.  My family comes from a rich heritage of hard work and community involvement.

So my question is this:  Why are these "thugs of color" afraid to work in a similar manor.  I have never in my life understood why they tear up their own communities, the stores from which they shop, the businesses that hire their people and the churches to which they claim to worship God.  Why would they not want to lift themselves up instead of lowering themselves.  I have often heard the statement, "We'll show "whitey" who we are".  All they have shown "whitey" is that they cannot be trusted in their own neighborhoods.  They refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and their own status.  I heard one young man say, "all these people are rich and they aren't giving us any money."  Why would any one person think he/she deserves the resources for which he/she refuses to work?

I believe this to be a familial tragedy.  I believe this attitude begins at home.  The parents do not appear to be teaching the children about self worth, self motivation, self esteem, self determination, or personal responsibility.  Of course there are exceptions  I admire the mothers that pulled their sons away from rioting and punished them for such anti-social behavior.

These people are their own worst enemies.  What they should be doing is build and lift instead of destroy and sink. 

My Cup Runneth Over

Here is my latest Political analysis:

Hillary must not be permitted to occupy the White House.  Her stated goals for her potential presidency will completely destroy the traditional American culture.  We cannot permit her to appoint even one Supreme Court justice.  I believe her mental health to be marginal at best, and I cannot envision her as commander-in-chief of the armed forces when she cannot even take care of one ambassador and his staff.  Lying seems to be her best accomplishment.

The new arrival on the scene, Evan McMullin is endorsed by the establishment Republican elitist class.  He appears to be a great candidate, and his stated positions look pretty good, but so have the past candidates.  Here are my problems with Mr. McMullin:
1.  He doesn't participate in family life.  40 years old and never married.  I don't know and I don't really care the reasons why.  He cannot identify with the middle class family situation.
2.  He is endorsed by establishment Republicans who we propose to replace.  The establishment Republicans are elitist and have been in power AND HAVE NOT DONE WHAT THEY WERE SENT TO WASHINGTON TO DO.  They just don't get it.  In my opinion, the ideal candidate is one that intends to shake up the federal government and get it back to where it should be with respect to the consitution.
3.  He is entering the race very late.  There is not sufficient time to complete vet him.  Just because he is LDS is not sufficient for me.  He could be the spoiler for the republican party.

I don't like Mr. Johnson because of the warts he brings to the table.  He is an admitted current illegal drug user.   Can you even consider letting him be Commander-in-Chief?

So, I guess my vote will go to Mr. Trump.  Even though I think there are better candidates available, I will vote so that the Supreme Court can be filled with conservative justices with an originalist bent..  He isn't a politician, which I like, and he is interested in shaking up and reducing the blood sucking federal agencies that are killing our society and culture.
