This Land Wasn’t Always Our Land (Many People Don't Know This)*

Black Hills Matter

While you were happily reading our First Annual Fourth of July/COVID-19 Holiday Extravaganza Eve Thought For The Day, Donald Chrump was preparing his incursion into Oglala Sioux Lakota territory without the tribe’s permission, to hold yet another potentially deadly Coronafest at the foot of the disgraceful slap in the face to the sacred Lakota land known to white people as Mt. Rushmore (carved by a devoted Klansman no less). 

A section of the majestic and sacred Black Hills of the Lakota Nation
that has not been illegally defaced by carvings of three white Indian
killers and one who said, “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good
Indians are the dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every 10 are.”

South Dakota’s Chrumpian governor is seeing to it that the event will feature the exact opposite of social distancing and that masks are scarce. This should guarantee that a significant number of knuckle draggers will end up infected and will take their dumb-gotten gains into the larger community. Native peoples everywhere are already suffering outsized numbers of dead from COVID-19, and now they have to try to dodge 75,000 pasty-faced pinheads, some unknown number of whom will be spreading themselves and their perverted bodily fluids so thickly across Lakota territory for the foreseeable future. Donald Chrump’s wanton murder spree rages on unabated, with no end in sight.

Protesters made their voices heard, but thanks to Chrump’s neo-fascist regime predilection to sic the Second Amendment on the First, which is now standard operating procedure, these righteous protesters were sequestered, harassed and arrested more than a mile away from Chrump’s danger zone. While this was probably best as regards the health and safety of the protesters, it is just another affront to the Constitution and participatory democracy.

The all-white counter protesters, who were not harassed or arrested, taunted the Lakota led protest, screaming (in true Chrumpian fashion to say the least) “Go home. Go home. Leave. This is not your land,” while standing as ignorantly as humanly possible on sovereign Lakota land. I kid you not people. These ignorant white motherfuckers need to get the fuck off of this flat fucking Earth before I pull out my chainsaw and cut this motherfucker right in half so it falls out of the sky for good.  

For his part, Chrump’s “totaleetariatism” (sic) was on full display. Bemoaning what he described as America “witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out” our history and heroes, Chrump lauded “heroes” like Andrew Jackson, who the ever tone-deaf, brain dead Chrump felt compelled to call out by name, describing the genocidal maniac who mercilessly tortured thousands of Indians, killing hundreds with his Trail of Tears as “a great man.” This while standing on treaty-defying, thrice-stolen, sacred Native ground. Chrump also used the Fourth of July to promise to protect the legacies of “the giants of our past…the greatest Americans who ever lived,” clearly alluding to the likes of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and many more perpetrators of treason-in-the-name-of-perpetuating-slavery. One wonders why Frederick Douglass has not spoken up during all of this.

The Projector-in-chief sounded more like Hitler or Mussolini than Kennedy or Obama as he stoked fear, hatred, division and an almost fanatical devotion to himself, and whined about “far-left fascism.” To be fair, this is all Chrump has ever done throughout his miserable excuse for a life. As I always say, you have to go with your strengths. With Chrump though, his strength is his weakness, and his very strong and powerful weakness may well be America’s undoing.

Shame Over (Well, One Of Them, Anyway)

Well, it looks like - probably thanks to this very strong and powerful blog – the NFL’s Washington Racists will soon be forced to give up their racist moniker and excremental emblem. Might I suggest the DC Chrumps, which has the added advantage of doing nothing to lessen their racist status, but is at least less insulting to Native Americans. Or how about the Washington Wankers, or the Capital Creeps? Either way, the perfect emblem is right in front of their racist faces. And the owner of the image is always willing to prostitute himself and certainly happy to plaster his name all over the place, and always ready to make a great deal. With the added bonus of already looking cartoonish, which will save money on designing. They deserve each other.

Apparently, team owner Dan Snyder has relented under immense pressure from $pon$or$ to conduct “a thorough review” of the team name. Snyder is still blathering on about needing to consider the “proud tradition and history of the franchise.” He might want to weigh that against the actual justifiably, proud and much longer (he may want to look that up; helpful hint: don’t bother asking any Chrump supporters) history of the original people of this land against whom Syder’s cherished cash cow’s name is a flagrant, shameless slur, Snyder’s hollow claims of the slur honoring the original people aside. Many native people and their supporters have been screaming about ending this ignominy for years.

Funny story, George Preston Marshall, the founder of the Washington football franchise in the 1930s was a recognized racist. The team went on to become the last in the league to integrate in 1962.

Just in case Mr. Snyder is having trouble, I have his “thorough review” right here: Listen you racist fuck, stop demeaning this land’s first people. Just because you’ve been doing it for years doesn’t mean shit to a tree. STFU and do the right thing, even if it’s the first time in your life. Any financial loss you might suffer – and let’s not kid anyone, perhaps even more than the racism, it’s all about the money –are just tough shit and a small price to pay for getting away with all these years of flaunting your racism in broad daylight. So, if you feel the need for any more reviewing, make it quick douchebag.

Next stop, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Indians, and the horrific tomahawk chopping assholes and their Atlanta Braves.

Oh, and let’s not forget the monument in Stone Mountain, Georgia. It is the largest bas-relief in the world. The carving depicts three Confederate treasonous losers, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. It is an injury to the otherwise beautiful mountain – as is Rushmore – and another shameful insult to humanity. This needs to get some Berlin Wall treatment. Thousands of black folks should be invited to line up like some Disney World ride, and take turns swinging a sledge hammer to start knocking that shit down. And they should be paid a decent wage to do it.
