Of Crudeness and Truth
““Let’s state the obvious. Some countries are shitholes. To claim that this is racist is racist. They are not shitholes because of the color of the populace but because of bad ideas, corrupt governance, false religion, and broken culture. Further, most of the problems in these countries are generated at the top. Plenty of rank-and-file immigrants from such ruined venues ultimately make good Americans—witness those who came from 1840s potato-famine Ireland, a shithole if ever there was one! It takes caution and skill to separate the good from the bad.
For these very reasons, absurd immigration procedures like chain migration, lotteries, and unvetted entries are deeply destructive. They can lead to the sort of poor choices that create a Rotherham. Trump’s suggestions—to vet immigrants for pro-American ideas and skills that will help our country—are smart and reasonable and would clearly make the system better if implemented.
So, when it comes to the Great Shithole Controversy of 2018, my feeling is: I do not care, not even a little. I’m sorry that it takes someone like Trump to break the spell of silence the Left is forever weaving around us. I wish a man like Ronald Reagan would come along and accomplish the same thing with more wit and grace. But that was another culture. History deals the cards it deals; we just play them. Trump is what we’ve got.””

Response to my Ebert entry
☆ Sins of the skin
Why is it that everyone is allowed to be proud of their ethnic heritage unless you're "white?"
And then there's "white privilege."
"If you can't see it, you've got it."
Guess what. That's racist.
Yes, you read that right. It's racist. People are being blamed because of their skin color. No matter what they say, no matter what they do, They Are Guilty and Can Not Be Redeemed. You can't get more racist than that.
They are not only guilty, but they are responsible for the actions and attitudes of people long dead.
Well, isn't that a kick in the pants. I can only speak for me.
I won't humble myself and acknowledge the sins of my skin color.
I won't abase myself.
I won't sacrifice my pride and power before their “need.”
Why not? Because I didn't do anything. You want to be a victim? Fine. Go do it somewhere else.
You want some help so you can stop being a victim? Then let's talk. Let's see what we can do.
Yes, the United States was not perfect when it was founded. There were a bunch of rich, "white" men running around controlling everything. Things got better. The US helped destroy the international slave trade. Women got the vote. Some of our greatest today aren't rich, "white", or male. Things got better. It's not perfect now. But we're getting better. That's the promise.
If you are not responsible for the sins of your ancestors, then neither is anyone else. Neither am I.
If you take pride in your ancestry, then so can anyone else. So can I.
Why?
Because I am not guilty for my ancestors.
My skin color doesn't make me racist.
Can you say the same?
We're human. Let's build on that. Let's start with today. Let's limit our judgement to what the individual has said and done.
Let's not blame the skin color. Or privilege. Or what we think they think.
Just what is said. Just what is done.
Can you live with that?
I can. Do we have a deal?
