OPINION:
The historically challenged do not recognize that today history is repeating itself. In the antebellum South, slave holders kept slaves in line by employing Black overseers who committed atrocious acts to carry out their masters’ will. Today, corporate America, foundations and other entities acting as “masters” finance Black Lives Matter and its surrogates to keep Black people on totalitarian “plantations” instead of allowing them to pursue freedom, independence and self-sufficiency. These groups inspire fear and prey on the helplessness created by politicians removing the protection of police.
White masters of old selectively used Scripture and told lies to indoctrinate slaves. Today, those running our schools seek to indoctrinate Black students so they will see totalitarianism as their sole salvation instead of their annihilation. The effort is aided and abetted by the 24-hour-a-day propaganda blasted by the media.
Modern-day “masters” are stoking animosity between Blacks and Whites in the hope of resurrecting systemic White racism, which has long been eradicated. By telling Black people that they are racially superior and that only their lives matter, the goal is to achieve White pushback, destroying the racial harmony achieved through the rule of law, morality and Judeo-Christian beliefs and philosophy.
It is no wonder that the racist, destructive mobs are removing and marring statues, monuments, churches, icons and other symbols held dear and/or in high esteem. They seek to eliminate history and historical memory. After all, as has been stated many times, those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
