53. These people CHOSE to respond to cultural/wedge issues

THAT is our mistake to NOT deal with the psychology and psychopathy that was effectively being used for that to happen.

The old LBJ quote that Bill Moyers relayed to the public is playing out right now. I have posted this before -

WHAT A REAL PRESIDENT WAS LIKE

November 12, 1988



WHILE Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of time and place, he felt the bitter paradox of both. I was a young man on his staff in 1960 when he gave me a vivid account of that southern schizophrenia he understood and feared. We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs.

Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. "I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Some years later when Johnson was president, there was a press conference in the East Room. A reporter unexpectedly asked the president how he could explain his sudden passion for civil rights when he had never shown much enthusiasm for the cause. The question hung in the air. I could almost hear his silent cursing of a press secretary who had not anticipated this one.

But then he relaxed, and from an instinct no assistant could brief -- one seasoned in the double life from which he was delivered and hoped to deliver others -- he said in effect: Most of us don't have a second chance to correct the mistakes of our youth. I do and I am. That evening, sitting in the White House, discussing the question with friends and staff, he gestured broadly and said,

"Eisenhower used to tell me that this place was a prison. I never felt freer." For weeks in 1964, the president carried in his pocket the summary of a Census Bureau report showing that the lifetime earnings of an average black college graduate were lower than that of a white man with an eighth-grade education. And when The New York Times in November 1964 reported racial segregation to be increasing instead of disappearing, he took his felt-tip pen and scribbled across it "shame, shame, shame," and sent it to Everett Dirksen, the Republican leader in the Senate. I have a hard time explaining to our two sons and daughter -- now in their twenties -- that when they were little, America was still deeply segregated.

These people have always wanted to be "above someone else" and when given a way to get there via denigrating others, then they will take that path and run with it - even if they cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Their heads exploded when Barack Obama was elected as the first BLACK MALE President, and the rest of their bodies exploded when Joe Biden picked a BLACK/ASIAN WOMAN to be Vice President. It was to much.

THAT is why they have been unrelenting in going after Biden who they consider a "ni**er" lover for being an integral part of the election of BOTH Obama and Harris, and THAT is why they are willing to FEEL ECONOMIC PAIN in order to have the POWER (through 45) to IMPOSE PAIN on someone else.

Now until someone deals with this issue - which will never be resolved but might be able to be worked around - then this insanity will continue.
