I urge folks who doubt that people of color continue to this day to not be treated equally to watch this short film. It’s a bit disturbing and rather raw but it’s important, I think, that society come to grips with its own hidden and ignored realities. Otherwise there’s no fixing things. Who knew there was such a thing as “The Green Book” published to help blacks be safe in the road. Reading about this after I learned about it in the film made me wonder if there are still places in the US where blacks have to worry about this sort of thing.

Parents, especially black parents, when I was in school we learned all about the royal families of Europe and Central & South America. Our studies of Africa were focused on the slave trade and the Europeanized versions of the Creation story. I cannot recall, even one instance, when it was mentioned that Africa too had/has it's royal families, outside of the Pharaohs, and two Queens of Egypt, Cleopatra and Nefertiti, and of course, they all had Europeanized faces. Even in the movies - see The Ten Commandments.
Today we see children idolizing the media glorified dregs of society. The vulgar. The mediocre. The unintelligent. As parents, what do we do? I see many parents who imitate their children in doing the same. Take a moment to compare what your kids may be emulating or aspiring to emulate, and my focus is more on girls than boys because the female body is disrespected and used far more than the male in the media, but the same can be said for some male icons whom boys may want to emulate, though I don't see boys wanting to emulate immodest men in the media all that much. Not being sexist - just the plain truth.
Why not give your children real heroes and heroines to emulate, and I'm speaking to black parents now, as it is MLK day. I'm not referring to modern day heroes and heroines such as MLK or Harriet Tubman (Excellent movie about her called Harriet released in 2019 - definitely a MUST film though it does have some scenes inappropriate for little kids.)
I am referring to the wealth of glorious and rich history on the African continent, as well as current royal families. The House of Windsor is NOT the only royal family in the world. Many royal lines in Africa pre-date western royalty. Why are these people not studied and held up as people for black (and other kids too) kids to emulate?
Why idolize a nasty Janet Jackson when you can aspire to be a truly powerful and glorious woman such as Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar?
Why idolize a Michael Brown (and I am certainly NOT making a judgment call on his shooting as I wasn't present, rather on the person he was before he was shot, as that is all documented and verifiable) when you can aspire to be areal man such as the current reigning King of the Zulu Nation, King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu?
"Coming To America" may have been a mythological story, but it's roots are not far from the truth in many cases.
Below find a link pointing to a webpage with a plethora of information regarding authentic history of the African Nations and their Royal Lines. There are plenty of other internet sites to learn even more.
Whether you're black or white or anything else, be good parents and make good use of this information, because it is imperative for kids to know ALL history, not just selective history.

The scenes here are being played out as they attempt to pass through Guatemala and the Guatemalan authorities try to turn back the invading tide yesterday. Yes I feel sorry for many of these people for they are fleeing a bad situation in their own land, yet our country’s stability is the most fragile I’ve ever seen it. These influxes; these added burdens in our already taxed economy will serve to further destabilize the USA. I truly believe THAT is the aim of the incoming administration and the party propping it up.

A myth circulating in political science circles talks about a massive realignment in America. According to this narrative, the two major political parties have switched constituencies. The Republican Party, particularly under President Trump, is now the new Working Class People’s Party, while the Democrats have become the haven of rich and corrupt elites.
The elections of 2016 and 2020 supposedly validated this assessment. Thus, many believe that populism, the belief in the rights, wisdom, or virtues of the common people, is the wave of the future. Those who cater to a working-class sensibility will prevail. Those who have power and money will eventually be overcome.
There is some truth to this realignment. The once-solid Democratic working-class vote is a thing of the past. Meanwhile, many in the liberal establishment and management sectors reject the now-more-populist Republican message. However, such economic-based divisions are not infallible indicators of the vote or the future. Other factors weigh heavily in determining what motivates voters.
The Telltale Sign that Something is Wrong
One rule never fails. Whenever money and power are the sole criteria to judge political things, it is a telltale sign, something is wrong. Money and power are important factors, but they rarely determine the outcome of events.
The use of economic divisions is part of a Marxist analysis of history that simplistically divides society into classes of so-called oppressors and oppressed, rich and poor, have and have-nots. The clash of these two sides supposedly gives rise to class struggle, a concept dear to all Marxists and repugnant to Christian charity.
The object of politics should be unity, not division. This false economic outlook will always lead to disastrous and fragmented outcomes.
Cultural Concerns Are the Real Dividing Line
In a recent report for the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, George Hawley and Richard Hanania challenged this economic explanation for President Trump’s 2016 victory. They claim that “cultural concerns, not economic interests or policy preferences, were the real dividing line in 2016, and remain so today.”
The two researchers reject the “economic anxiety” explanation for the 2016 victory. Many have speculated that economic hardship in Rust Belt and other hard-pressed areas created a populist reaction that turned discontent into votes at the polls. However, the scholars found that the explanation could not hold up to empirical scrutiny.
Three Important Conclusions
The authors came to three important conclusions about the dismal future of populism based on the results of the last two elections. They warn that populism is a losing proposition that conservatives should avoid.
First, they showed that the actual voting patterns disprove the class divisions that supposedly triggered the realignment of American politics. It was Joe Biden who won by a wide margin among those voters making less than $50,000 a year. President Trump held a similarly wide margin among the sector earning over $100,000 a year.
Moreover, the two scholars note that President Trump did not govern like a populist. His signature domestic policy achievement was a major tax cut for wealthier Americans, not the workers. He has carefully sought the support of those who defend moral values, such as the pro-life voters. Most 2020 Republican candidates who won their seats did not espouse economic populism. In fact, both populist and non-populist Republican candidates performed equally well.
Finally, research indicates that, while economic issues can influence elections, they are rarely determinative. Populist issues like trade policies do not motivate voters. Most people do not understand specific economic issues and support general plans that affect all society and not a particular class interest.
What Will Work
The surprising thing about the realignment myth is that it runs contrary to established political theory and evidence. Hawley and Hanania report that “For decades, researchers have shown that you can predict very little about how any particular individual votes from knowing his or her objective economic conditions. Cultural attitudes and demographic variables swamp material circumstances. Marxists, who say class interests drive political views, and the populists who believe the same thing from a different perspective, are both wrong.”
Much more critical than economic policies are cultural issues like immigration, religious issues, sexual politics, marriage and political correctness that galvanize voters. The evidence is overwhelming that cultural issues, not innovative economic policies, are the principal points of division between the parties. And these issues should be pursued.
The two scholars, who share the liberals’ “distaste for culture-war politics,” nevertheless insist that conservatives must not abandon the social issues that have served as their rallying points for decades. These issues truly motivate voters and win elections. They even claim Republicans should push back even harder on these hot-button issues. For example, the last elections showed how dormant topics like affirmative action resonated with voters in deep-blue California and delivered a shocking victory to conservatives.
Populism Is Not the Wave of the Future
Unfortunately, promoters of national populism follow a contrary strategy that emphasizes the ordinary American’s material well-being. They avoid the Culture War issues that energize voters. Thus, some populist strategists make dangerous concessions to pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ sectors, which will alienate the right’s most dynamic activists. They ignore the evidence that economic issues, while important, will not deliver the votes needed to defeat the ever-more socialist left.
Populism is an ambiguous term that means many things to different people. However, those who call themselves populists must be careful, lest they bring their cause to ruin. Voters should not confuse populism with popular moral issues. Adopting Marxist methods of historical analysis is not a winning plan. Compromising morals to appeal to the more sexually permissive masses will only erode the framework of order needed to regenerate America.
There is no magic solution to victory in today’s highly polarized America. However, conservatives could save time and effort by rejecting the realignment myth based on economic populist models. Culture, not economics, decides most voters’ choices. It is time to act accordingly.

View More“Shame, shame on the ten Republicans who joined with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in impeaching President Trump yesterday. After all that he has done for our country, you would turn your back and betray him so quickly? We have never had a president like him in my lifetime. He gave us lower taxes, a strong economy, and low unemployment. He made NATO take notice and pay their own way. He had the guts to take on North Korea and meet with their leader personally. He didn’t let China walk all over us. Just his Mideast peace initiatives in the last couple of months deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. He has defended religious liberty like no president before him, and that matters to all people of faith. He has worked to bring prison reform and secured our southern border. He defeated the ISIS caliphate in Syria, and he strengthened our military. He was also the most pro-life president we have ever had. But the House Democrats impeached him because they hate him and want to do as much damage as they can. And these ten, from his own party, joined in the feeding frenzy. It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that Speaker Pelosi promised for this betrayal.
President Trump isn’t a perfect person. I don’t support or agree with some of the things the President said and did the last couple of weeks. January 6 was a low point in his presidency. We knew he had flaws when he ran for office in 2016. But I, and millions of others, voted for him because of the platform and policies he promised. I still support those. The Democrats have been trying to get rid of the President since the day he took office. What they did yesterday only further divides our nation. I hope President-elect Biden will keep his word and work for unity as he has said.”
