This country was built on greed. All the white men had desires; Gold, God and Glory their creed. Sin loves to travel in packs wrath came next to spill blood. The Great Spirit received many guests.
Having desires is not a sin. Sin entered when men were sold to backbreaking work for another’s gain. ***** blood fueled the Southern Kingdom greed begot sloth which begot fear slavery became too valuable to lose.
So in the great American tradition compromise became the easy way out. Why fight for 3/5 a person; instead bounce between slave and free making all envy the southern wealth a perfect illusion hiding white poor.
Fast forward to the Postbellum south. Half the wealth has become man equality will mean Southern prosperity’s death. The south needs labor to rebuild sharecropping and convict leasing slavery’s ******* will help keep the ***** down.
When men become numbers society fails. Why not work them to death? Just grab another to lay rails. Once being black is a crime it’s simple to justify white pride. Fear will keep those ******* inline.
So do not blame Big Business for the destruction they routinely cause. Save your petitions to our congress they can’t even touch the monster. We devour all that we see but that’s our countries original Sin.
