"Ask the Indians about white men and rules"~Chris Rock on the Tom Joyner Morning Show 7/01/2008

EYE am trying to figure out how this "Make America White Again" thingy is supposed to work....

So, an independent (code for republiKlan) candidate for congress from Tennessee is vowing to "Make America White Again" if he's elected.  First of all, America was never all White, so EYE don't know where the again is coming from, unless he's talking about when the illegal Pilgrims illegally invaded America and stole the land from the original occupants, who were so not White.  But EYE digress.

If Trump and his followers are elected, how do they plan to make America White Again?  EYE mean, are they going to round up all the people of color and ship them back to Africa?  Or, are they going bring back slavery and force them to live on plantations and work for free?  If people of color are allowed to stay in America will they still have to pay taxes, or, will the government take care of them? 

Do they really think people of color are going to go willing, or are they planning to use military force? Which might be difficult, considering the number of active duty minorities currently serving in the military.

EYE am really trying to figure out what the Make America White Again plan is so EYE can be ready.

Update~ On Columbus Day- A Brief History of the USA

Why are we still celebrating Columbus Day?

With Columbus Day upon us once again, we must ask the question: Why, exactly, are we still celebrating Columbus Day?

Seattle votes to celebrate 'Indigenous People Day" on Columbus Day

The resolution that passed unanimously Monday honors the contributions and culture of Native Americans and the indigenous community in Seattle. Indigenous Peoples’ Day will be celebrated on the second Monday in October.
Tribal members and other supporters say the move recognizes the rich history of people who have inhabited the area for centuries.
“This action will allow us to bring into current present day our valuable and rich history, and it’s there for future generations to learn,” said Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation on the Olympic Peninsula, who is also president of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians.

A darker side of Columbus emerges in US classrooms

Columbus’ stature in U.S. classrooms has declined somewhat through the years, and many districts will not observe his namesake holiday on Monday. Although lessons vary, many teachers are trying to present a more balanced perspective of what happened after Columbus reached the Caribbean and the suffering of indigenous populations.
“The whole terminology has changed,” said James Kracht, executive associate dean for academic affairs in the Texas A&M College of Education and Human Development. “You don’t hear people using the world ‘discovery’ anymore like they used to. ‘Columbus discovers America.’ Because how could he discover America if there were already people living here?”
