Whitewashed

 Those of you who may read my blog are likely to assume that this is some sort of nonsensical rant, but you may be wrong...not that it may be a rant, but rather that it will be nonsensical. Therefore, I would like to get the nonsense out of the way in this first paragraph. While on many occasions I have stated that white women are at the root of all human problems, this post will not be about that, nor will it be about the uselessness of millennials, nor will it be about the economic waste incurred by painting yellow stripes on any road in America.

No, this post will be an outline of what has brought western civilization to the brink of its demise. While it may not be specifically about racism, it will discuss its roots...and how those roots have shaped the moronic behavior of half of the American populace.

God is many different things to may different people, and I’m ok with that, but of all the things God may or not be, the one thing I am certain of, is that God is not white. No matter which piece of fiction is associated with your particular brand of religion, there is one thing you can be sure of. God was ‘born’ in the Middle East, and later, ‘reborn’ by the Romans. Abraham was born in the Middle East, as was Jesus, and Mohammed, and Moses, and King David, etc., ad infinitum. Now, just a brief description of Palestine in those days. It was a very diverse place, rife with all colors of people...Indians (no, moron, not the Apaches), Egyptians, Ethiopians, Phoenicians, Persians, all of whom were not white, and only god knows who was fucking who. So, Jesus could have been genetically diverse to say the least. So, then came along the council of Nicene, where the fucking Romans decide to pick and choose the right words and gospels that would best serve to homogenize and subjugate a diverse, and often rebellious populace. It is from this point forward that Jesus was portrayed as a white guy, and therefore, his father must be too. Now, to be sure, if I was any of the myriad of all powerful deities, I would most certainly be gender neutral, but that is a subject for another day.

A short time later, along came the Crusades, where white soldiers walked thousands of miles to slaughter the very people from which all western gods were born, all in the name of a very white God. This, of course, was the first western example of blatant and overt racism.

So, as you can see from this brief lecture on actual history, God (whichever one) is not white, and certainly not male.

So, let’s move ahead a few millennia, to the present day. After centuries of bad things being done in the name of a white god (including the birthing of these United States, the slaughter of native Americans, the enslavement of Africans, manifest destiny be damned), is it any small wonder that many white Americans believe that they belong to a superior race? Yes, dear readers, racism is the child of a ‘white God’.

So, over the past week or so, I have been pondering a question...What gripe do the white supremacists, the boogaloo boys, the proud boys, the conspiracy theorists have? I am certain they all believe something has been taken away from them, and I am certain that the Trump has offered them some unimaginable solace, or voice, but I can only deduce one logical conclusion...that the white way of life has been taken away, and that is unforgivable in the minds of the 80-90s (these numbers are IQ levels).

If I were not an atheist, I would pray for America, because making America great again is going to require taking the white out of religion...and perhaps embracing the good things written in every scripture.

Thanks for your time.
