I stopped posting about social issues other than the problem of abortion and directly related issues; I did post quite a bit about Black & White early on this year. I was going to repost those posts but the climate for them has gone by.

I do want to refresh my take on these issues based on my own better understanding given my final reprieval from ill gotten charges of racism against me.

I did have a really bad attitude in race matters for a long time because of flack that I took over poor word choice I used in some Letters to the Editor I wrote in 2008. I have been held to this ever since but I have finally fought back in this regard. It was an ugly situation that I have tried to address so many times. I have the following, proactive plank to put out there in its place:

I suggest that somehow, for the good or the ill we imported Africans against their will starting 400 years ago.

I was imported here myself by my parents emigrating when they were married and having my brother and I before they had decided to stay. And then using us for how to stay for us. They hadn’t anticipated children yet. ,She was only 20 and a mentally fragile being.

so, in recent years, after looking back on England all my life for a better way, I finally turned it around for myself and emigrated “to the New World.” First, to Canada (where they have the presence of the Queen and high tea); and from there to the United Stares. That was my way of doing it. Then, the United States Hero Principle. A literary person said, “To be a hero, you have to be capable of change.” In America, you have to change off of what brought you to this country, they used to call it “finding yourself” or “knowing who you are.” For some people it is a question of finding Jesus or, that is a part of it.

So, to be an American, you have to be a hero in order to become a part of the solution instead of being a part of the problem.

for me, that part of the equation—where I had to change to solve the problem—was to recognize the negativity in my language and wit. Recently I saw it in my father—how tedious and negative was the “art of one-upsmanship,” self-deprecating wit, and the like. This is a progressive and do good society with so many bugaboos to belabor and these dunnings just do not play out well. America has made its mistakes and struggles to do right in these regards today.

As for myself, I am still learning. Rapidly. But there is a lot to learn and it takes time. I grew up under their governance—my mother’s and father’s—and was strictly held and controlled by them most of my life. At age 62, I am letting go of a lot of comfortable old “plays” and theories that were endemic most of my life. It started at the long term acute care unit after the overdose in 2016. I am finally cleared of the Klonopin overdose around 2010 but still doing some early work on the Lamictal OD in 2016 which was even more serious. For about 10 months (?) I was held tortured on a psych unit staffed largely with Puerto Rican and Mexican doctors and nurses and techs. It was not a safe situation for me. I took brutal blows for my British background and White race. Somehow I got out of there and returned to my parents’ home after a stay at a personal care boarding home for a few months. Where I couldn’t stay and it turned out I couldn’t stay at my parent’s home either. After about 5 nearly lethal psych stays I am starting to get the picture about America today and how to fit in, how to be an American hero. Shedding all hint of racism

”Oh when the saints…”. Surely this is an American hymn.” It is an anthem of this website.

so, this is my story of how an American with culture/class/race issues immigrates to America right where they are to become an American hero.

Obviously there is—for just about anybody—an issue of forgiveness. Lawsuits, class action lawsuits, compensation.

I am not not in a position to suggest forgiveness to Black men and women as I know that I have only seen the tip of the iceberg of their legacy and continuing suffering.

But I do want to hold out a hope of a better future by showing how I moved out of heartache and pain myself through the course I have described here where I was trapped in America looking backward with no place to go with my pain and suffering.

it’s a psychological step to a better place in your mind. And then, you change off of where you want to hurt people or yourself, or just feel so sad; to where, instead, ‘Living well is the best revenge.” I don’t know if that quote is legally Christian, but, something like that.

In other words, find out who you are in America today, ditch the chaff and find the wheat. Empty out the banal bullshit. Accept the help of whites as well as others who want to. “Play nice with the other kids!!!” Acceot the help of help of Heaven in this regard. Accept the help of the heavens in this regard, in other words, ALIENS!!!! Your continuing suffering could be short!
