The Master Race

Fallout from the Obama election

First, Hollywood has to deal with the Obama election. Gone are the days where the movie is clearly fictionalized (i.e. non-offensive to any past or present president) because there is a black man or a woman in the office. Now we’ll have to go to the next step – not only will the First Lady be a man, but the president will be, too.

Hollywood has a way of predicting these things. If you dig up old episodes of ‘Laugh In’ there’s a shot of Goldie Hawn listing a handful of things that eventually came true, one of which was that in twenty years there would be an actor in the White House. Yes, Goldie is that old. And there was Reagan, right on time.

The West Wing has recently been cited as being prescient about the Obama/Hilary issue in the Democratic party. Frankly, I’m just wondering if Stallone will be the next one proved right. There’s a conversation in Demolition Man, where Sandra Bullock explains that Schwartzenegger was first elected governor of California (check!) and then an amendment was added allowing foreign born citizens to become president (in the works!) Hence the ‘President Schwartzenegger Memorial Library’ she and Stallone were zooming past.

But aside from oh-so-deep concerns of Hollywood, there are more issues at stake here. I’ve made no secret that I’ve loved moving to Tennessee this past year. Whether I love it or not, this is a deeply red state. What I hate is that the Obama assassination plots have come from areas within twenty minutes of my home.

Look, I hated Bush. But I didn’t hate him for the color of his skin, or even for the color of the powder he spent years sucking up his nostrils. I merely disagreed with his decisions at every point along the way. In my personal opinion, he did everything he could to drive this country into the ground and make his friends rich. Sure there’s more, but the point is that I hated him for his policy, for his effect on the people of America. And no matter how much I wanted to, I never once actually hatched an Assassination Plan!

One thing Obama has already done, just by the color of his mocha skin, has brought racism into the light of day. He didn’t create it, but it is getting harder to deny that it exists. So, maybe we’ll finally do something about it.

I just don’t see how any thinking person can think the whites are the Master Race. I can’t imagine any of us Real Americans are all white, or all anything, any more. I have Italian, Turkish and Hillbilly blood in me. And I, like most of us, am probably host to a variety of ancestries that I didn’t even know were there. Isn’t that the point of this country? Aside from the fact that I don’t think there even are any real whites left, I still have a hard time thinking there is a master race.

Stop for a moment and imagine God. What does God ask of us? Most of us will say that God wants us to love each other. What about Vengeance? It is God’s. So sayeth the Lord and all that.

Now stop and think about the history of the White Race in America. The white man came to an occupied land. Labeled the native people as idiots, mostly because he didn’t understand them. Then he blew them to kingdom come. While still conquering the West, white americans went to Africa and enslaved people there. Then brought them here as slaves, set them free, and treated them as second class citizens. I have to say, right now, I can see that the whites ARE the master race: Master A-Holes, that is.

Is this what your God wanted of you? Do you truly think you will die and stand before him and he’ll say to you “You put flaming poop on your neighbor’s doorstep! Was he white? . . . No? Well then, good work, come on in to Heaven!” or “For years you have talked smack about your colored neighbors! Hallelujiah!” Seriously? God is a racist bigot?

Or did you just sit by and think softly that the neighborhood wasn’t the same? Did you think it was okay if there was a black or latino section of town? Because all that it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. Because you have to live in the world you allow.

It’s okay to hate Obama. But hate him for his ideals, please.
