HYPHENATED AMERICANS

AT ALMOST 70 YEARS OF AGE, I THOUGHT NOTHING COULD SHOCK ME ANYMORE, BUT I WAS WRONG...

I'VE BEEN PONDERING THE REASON WHY MANY PEOPLE, CAUCASIANS MAINLY, ARE ANGERED BY THOSE WHO USE A HYPHEN BEFORE AMERICAN AND IDENTIFY THEMSELVES BY NATIONAL ORIGIN.

I MAY HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER, BUT, I WARN YOU, THE LINK BELOW LEADS TO A REAL RACIST RANT...IN, OF ALL PLACES, THE SO-CALLED "URBAN DICTIONARY"...DON'T GO THERE UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO BE ASSAILED BY RACISM ON A LEVEL I HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO IN A FEW DECADES.

"HYPHENATED AMERICAN", ACCORDING TO THE URBAN DICTIONARY IS "anyone who takes up space on American soil who isn't white."

THE RANT CONTINUES WITH AN ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL AND ERRONEOUS STATEMENT THAT...
"Of course, only non-whites can be hyphenated Americans, because white Americans are simply called Americans, no other term applies."

AU CONTRAIRE, DELUSIONAL PALEFACE!
ALL WHITES CAN BE HYPHENATED, FOR ALL WHITES IMMIGRATED HERE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENCE OF CAUCASIANS IN THE "AMERICAS"..
.
YES, ALL

THOSE WHO DISEMBARKED FROM THE MAYFLOWER, ALL WHO POPULATED THE ORIGINAL COLONIES, ALL WERE, AFTER AMERICA WAS FINALLY CREATED, HYPHENATED AMERICANS...
ENGLISH-AMERICANS, FRENCH-AMERICANS, IRISH-AMERICANS, SCOTS-AMERICANS, GERMAN-AMERICANS, DUTCH-AMERICANS ...
WHATEVER COUNTRY THE FIRST "SETTLERS" CAME FROM, THAT IS THE NATION OF ORIGIN FOR THE "FIRST AMERICAN FAMILIES".

FACE IT...THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE ABOVE RANT IS INDEED A HYPHENATED AMERICAN.
SORRY, CHARLIE, IT'S JUST A FACT.
ONLY THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION, THOSE WHO WATCHED ALL THOSE BOATS LAND AND UNLOAD, CAN'T BE HYPHENATED...BUT THEY ARE...AS IN "NATIVE AMERICAN", OR "AMERICAN INDIAN" (PERHAPS THE WORST MISNOMER IN HISTORY).
WHY MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO USE THE TERM INDIGENOUS TRIBES, OR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IS ODD.

BUT, LET'S LOOK AT A FEW MORE DEFINITIONS...
FROM THE FREE DICTIONARY:

1.An American who is referred to by a hyphenated term with the first word indicating an origin in a foreign country, and the second term being "American", as Irish-American, Italian-American, African-American, Asian-American.
HMMM, THAT MAKES IT A BIT MORE CLEAR, RIGHT?

THE OXFORD DICTIONARY  DEFINES IT BASICALLY THE SAME WAY. 

IN AN AFTERNOON SPEECH IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI ON MAY 31, 1916, ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST BELOVED PRESIDENTS, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, ADDRESSED THIS HYPHENATED AMERICAN ISSUE.
HE WAS OPPOSED TO IT, IN A VERY BIG WAY.

I HAVE TO ADMIT, I FOUND THAT AS SHOCKING AS THE URBAN DICTIONARY THING.
"LET US BE NEITHER GREEKS NOR TROJANS, BUT AMERICANS."
REALLY?

WELL, THE REAGANITE REPUBLICAN JUST ATE UP WHAT OLD TEDDY R. HAD TO SAY, IN A SIMILAR VEIN, TO THE ...UMMMM...TO THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS IN OCTOBER, 1915, 2 YEARS BEFORE HIS MISSOURI SPEECH., WHICH IS ALL THE MORE SHOCKING AS REPUBLICANS, SOME, SEE IMMIGRANTS AS A THREAT TO AMERICA AND WANT NO PART OF A NEW IMMIGRATION LAW THAT ALLOWS THAT "BROWN TIDE FROM THE SOUTH" TO ROLL ONTO AMERICAN SANDS.
NOR DO MANY REPUBLICANS WANT TO SEE IMMIGRANTS AT THE POLLS! NOSIREE! IMMIGRANTS VOTE DEMOCRAT, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?

BUT, BUT, BUT TEDDY SAID:
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”

(CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE THING) 

HMMM, REALLY?
OLD BONER (BOEHNER) DOESN'T THINK SO!
THE TEA PARTY NIXES THAT SENTIMENT, THAT ALL AMERICANS SHOULD GET OUT AND VOTE AND BE CONSIDERED EQUALS) SO WHY DID THE REAGANITES POST TEDDY'S ROUSING SPEECH THAT WANTED ALL TO BE "JUST PLAIN AMERICANS"?
IF YOU CAN MAKE SENSE OF ANYTHING THAT EITHER POLITICAL PARTY SAYS OR DOES, POST HERE, PLEASE!

BUT WAIT...
THERE MAY BE A CLUE TO WHY THE REAGANITES CHEER THE T.R. SPEECH TO THE "KNIGHTS"...GET READY, HERE IT COMES: 


“The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.”  

THERE, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT, AND NOW WE CAN SEE WHY THE REAGANITES DARED POST WHAT THEY DID...HYPHENATED PEOPLE SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF AMERICA...AND SO, THIS MAY BE WHY CAUCASIAN OFFSPRING OF THE ORIGINAL "COLONISTS", THE OFFSPRING OF THE 'PEOPLE OF THE BOATS', THE DESCENDANTS OF THOSE ORIGINAL 'ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS' ARE UNWILLING TO BE HYPHENATED, ALTHOUGH EVERY ONE OF THEM CAN BE. 


HYPHENATION MAKES ONE NOT BELONG HERE, MAKES ONE AN 'OUTSIDER', A "TRAITOR TO AMERICA", A TAKER, A USER, A ROBBER OF SORTS...NOT AS GOOD AS THOSE WHO PRETEND THEY ARE NOT OFFSPRING OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
 

RIGHT?
EXTREMELY RIGHT, ISN'T IT...I MEAN WAAAAY, WAAAAY TO THE FARTHEST RIGHT.

IT MIGHT BE FUNNY IF IT WASN'T SO DAMNED SAD.

WELL, LET'S PUT IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE AND ADD A GOOD DOSE OF REALITY (THOSE OPPOSED TO ANY OF THAT, GO AWAY NOW).

THE DEFINITION OF HYPHENATED AMERICAN SIMPLY MEANS THE PERSON CAME FROM A GENE POOL THAT ORIGINATED IN A COUNTRY OUTSIDE "AMERICA", FROM ACROSS EITHER THE ATLANTIC OR PACIFIC OCEAN, A PERSON WHOSE ANCESTORS HAD TO USE A BOAT TO GET HERE SOMETIMES IN THE 1500s TO 1800s, LET'S SAY.


WOW! THAT'S EVERYONE WHO WASN'T AN INDIGENOUS PERSON, EVERYONE WHOSE ANCESTRY DIDN'T INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO WERE MEMBERS OF INDIGENOUS TRIBES HERE IN THE PRE-1500s TO 1800s, RIGHT?

AND THERE IT IS...THE REASON WHY TEDDY ROOSEVELT DIDN'T WANT ANYONE HYPHENATING HIM, NOR ANY OF HIS FAMILY, AND WHY, TO THIS DAY, MOST 'UPPER ECHELON' 'PUBLICANS, FOUNDING FAMILIES, ELITISTS, AND 'GOOD OL' BOYS' DON'T WANT MENTION MADE OF NATIONAL ORIGIN....BECAUSE, BY NATIONAL ORIGIN, ALL ARE HYPHENATED AMERICANS WHOSE ANCESTORS GOT HERE BY SEA. 


AND THAT WOULD MEAN "ANCHOR BABIES" ( I DO LOATHE THAT TERM) WERE THE LIKES OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS...AND ALL CAUCASIAN POLITICIANS ALIVE TODAY WHO ARE SERVING AS THE 'LEADERS' OF THIS GREAT HYPHENATED AMERICAN NATION ARE OFFSPRING OF 'ANCHOR BABIES'.

HYPHENATED AMERICANS MAY HAVE BEEN SCUM OF THE EARTH TO TEDDY ROOSEVELT, WHO WAS HIMSELF THE SON OF A MAN WHO HAD DUTCH (THERE'S A LONG STORY TO THAT "DUTCH" BUSINESS!) AND WELSH DNA AND A MOTHER WHO CARRIED FRENCH, SCOTS AND ENGLISH GENES. 


HYPHENATED AMERICANS MAY BE SCUM OF THE EARTH AND UNFIT TO VOTE TO THE TEA PARTY LOVERS, BUT THE REALITY, THE TRUTH IS, ALL WHO DO NOT CARRY INDIGENOUS TRIBAL DNA, DNA THAT WAS ON THIS SIDE OF THE OCEANS THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, SINCE TIME BEGAN, CAN BE HYPHENATED.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE...AMERICA IS A HYPHENATED NATION, FULL OF HYPHENATED AMERICANS.

HERE'S THE CHOICE: EMBRACE THAT AND STOP MAKING AN ISSUE OF IT OR JUST GO ON BEING HYPOCRITES.
MY MONEY IS ON THE HYPOCRITES.


SOME FOLKS CHOOSE TO REMEMBER WHERE THEY CAME FROM, WHERE HOME WAS ONCE TO THEIR ANCESTORS. 

IT MIGHT BE LIBERATING TO JUST OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT ALL CAUCASIANS HERE COME FROM IMMIGRANTS.
I AM VERY LEERY OF ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO OWN THEIR NATIONAL ORIGIN.
IF YOUR DISTANT RELATIVES WERE FROM OR ARE NOW ON ANOTHER CONTINENT, WHY NOT JUST EMBRACE THAT AND DECLARE IT?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH TRUTH?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING OFFSPRING OF THE MANIFEST DESTINY CONQUERING HEROES CROWD?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH KNOWING THAT YOUR ANCESTORS ONCE FOUGHT FOR AND DIED IN NATIONS FAR ACROSS THE SEAS ON OTHER CONTINENTS?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ADMITTING NO ONE IN YOUR GENE POOL CARRIED INDIGENOUS (TO THIS CONTINENT) DNA?

IT RANKS ALL CAUCASIANS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE MOST RECENT IMMIGRANTS...THAT'S WHY NO ONE WANTS TO OWN THE FACTS, THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH...ISN'T IT?

NATION OF ORIGIN?

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S WAS BOTH FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
THOMAS JEFFERSON'S? THAT, TOO, IS A VERY LONG STORY...AND FEW ARE 100% SURE OF WHERE THE JEFFERSONS CAME FROM, BUT WALES IS LISTED AS A POSSIBILITY.


WHAT'S YOUR NATION OF ORIGIN? 

WHAT'S YOUR FAMILY'S HYPHENATION?

AND THAT IS A FREE CUP OF TRUTH AND REALITY, COMPLIMENTS OF THE OLD HEMLOCK TEA ROOM...BEST BREW IN THE HOUSE,  SERVED WITH EVERY CRUMB HERE.
