I'm pretty sure my readers are aware that there are no longer cotton plantations operated through the torture of black slaves in the USA. Of course, we can't promise the same for other countries, many of which, by the way, were far more slave-dependent than ours for centuries.
So why is it that when a mass-electronic messaging went out last week, exclusively reaching black children and adults -- even addressing recipients by name -- public hysteria went beyond wild? All over the nation, those known as African-Americans (oh, PLEASE get rid of this term, along with "people of color!") were instructed to be at the ready to be picked up and taken to local plantations to pick cotton, and all of this was to be administered by "Executive Slaves."
Anybody in receipt of this text who fell for it must most certainly be a thoroughly brain-washed Democrat, immature or -- more specifically -- a product of the United States non-education system.
In normal times, even as we appear pretty sure that foreign operatives were involved, this ridiculous text would have been laughed off by society and revered for its brilliance as outrageous humor, maybe even satire. However, no matter that this is 2024: The mindlessness of leftward education has infiltrated and grown among our people.
We desperately need to find reasons to laugh again, and the more absurd the subject, the better.
In an era when local and national TV news people can't even bother to spell correctly the words they flash on the screen, by what standard should we expect a sense of humor or the most basic of logical assumptions in instances such as this?
How many years have elapsed since schools, colleges and "great" universities have taught critical thinking skills, the tools which would help all colors of people quickly differentiate between real and unreal and fact vs. fiction and fantasy? That this obviously phony text message has raised exactly the ire its originator(s) desired all over the USA causes us to look exactly like the horse's ass we have become under our bloated national education conglomerate.
To paraphrase from a President Reagan moment:
Mr. Trump, tear down the Department of Education!
We strongly require a solution to be neither gullible nor intellectually weaponless anymore. The leftists behind our failed education system have bred ignorance instead of enlightenment since the sixties, a course upon which we can either remain or perish as members of a constitutional government. Let us put education back in the hands of local governments.
Also last week was the issue of some young women deciding to at least temporarily swear off female to male relationships including dating, sex, marrying and having children. I guess this is punishment for men daring to exist or because people voted for Trump or something. Really, now that these young ladies have nothing to do and will probably become bored with their lives, perhaps they should seek out archaic cotton plantations for employment in order to pass their time with something besides sitting home with the cat and hating men.
In the meantime, I might just look into applying for that Executive Slave position. Living in New York as I do, I'm already a slave to the most stupid governor and malevolent attorney general in the country, so anything else would be a step up for me. Hey, I'm former military, so I'm pretty confident I can get out of bed for those 5:00 a.m. administrative slave pickups.
