Americans, woke or asleep?

America takes pride in thinking that it is a “woke” country. But what America thinks and what America really is, are two different things. America, is a country that has fallen deeply asleep, dreaming that it is woke. The lies politicians are using to inflict voter suppression is proof of America socially heading backwards in time. There has been no proof of any significant voter suppression, yet laws are being made to make it difficult for people, especially people of color, to vote in areas around this country. The lies that schools are teaching critical race theory, to inflict guilt on little white children, are also proof of America heading backwards in time. I’ve been an educator for over 25 years. If I had that kind of mind power, I wouldn’t cause students to feel guilt. I would simply teach students to think for themselves. When students think for themselves, they tend to discover truth. Lies about who really won the presidential election, caused the violent insurrection at the Nation’s Capital on January 6th. How many lies were told about what the coronavirus was and how to handle it? The lies told to the American people led to deaths. Many of them were deaths that did not have to happen. So, I repeat. We are not a woke nation. We’re a nation walking around like zombies. And before you liars start crying out, “If you don’t love America, then leave it”, let me tell you this. I am an American! I love what America could be. But I’m tired of watching my country take one step forward, only to be pushed back two steps. Wake the hell up! Realize that there are people who profit from America being in social disarray! They don’t give a damn about people of color, or a white people who aren’t wealthy. 95% of Americans are fighting over 5% of America’s wealth. That’s because 95% of America’s wealth belongs to only 5% of Americans. The wealthy Americans’ trick is to put Americans, especially white Americans socially asleep. Then they make them think that the reason they’re not part of the wealthy 5%, is because of people of color. One would have to be socially asleep to believe that people of color, especially Black Americans, have anything to do with white Americans being poor, or not being able to make ends meet, or not having extra money after the bills are paid. What’s sad is, America has plenty enough of everything, to assure and ensure that all Americans can eat. But because the love of money, has become more important than the love of our citizens, many people go without housing and food. This country isn’t about dreams or being woke. We are now teaching our children how to survive a nightmare! Okay, when I count to three and snap my fingers America will wake up. Well, it was worth a try!
