{This was initially a comment I made under someone’s post about their neighborhood. Since I couldn’t help myself and I turned it into a bit of political rant at the end, I thought it was good enough to post here}
What I like about my neighborhood? Well I like that I live in a house on the outskirts of Winder where I got enough room between me and my neighbors, that I can play my music as loud as I like without disturbing them.
I like that I got me a house for 50,000 smackers that I would take over the myriad of new houses being built to "civilize" Auburn that cost over 200 thou.
I like that I bought a house on a half acre lot that was previously landscaped so I could focus on minor improvements rather than must fix now issues.
Even tho three houses up is an unsightly yard that has all the appearances of an actual junk yard, what that means for me and my neighbors is we can unleash our dogs (I'm a cat guy), I can buy any kind of mail box I want without breaking some neighborhood code and, because I live on a hideaway street, there is no through traffic to contend with making it safer for animal and human alike.
As far as covid goes. I never understood why a new form of flu was"crashing" our society. Me thinks the real agenda was something never mentioned publicly for the ppl to digest.
It did change the way society was operating and some of all that will be a hangover that lasts.
I don't like it that Nationalism is becoming a bad word and I don't like the idea that being white makes me something I must apologize for no matter how the ancestors behaved in the past.
The new America (post1500) was primarily a German- English state
Colonization was something that never should have happened. It was wrong to declare ownership of a property-continent already well populated by others.
That sort of expansion was totally new to the world and you can thank early corporations like the East India Co for making that happen. A small percentage of rich internationalists declared ownership for various elitist kings and such the normal white man was often forced to migrate there and wasn't given a choice about whether slavery should or should not be.
Slavery did take away jobs the avg. new settler might have gotten otherwise, and on the whole the average white person suffered because of the richest classes need for cheap labor.
It's funny that in the media white ppl are being blamed for the horror that was colonialism. Why they were even forced to, by law, not associate with blacks due to things like "The Bacon Rebellion" happening, an incident where black slaves and white indentured servants took over the colony of Jamestown for a half year or so
After that, poor whites were ordered by law to police blacks for the elites and we now begin to see where the lower class white seeds of hatred for the Negro sprung from. It was good for the rulers for those two ethnicities not to get along.
Do we ever see an acknowledgement by TPTB on their part in the race hatred?
