Jim Crow Jr.

Sometimes rogue species invade.  In our applied Christianity we must be discerning identifying rogue species.  They are fish in the water and plants on land.  They arrive in incognito and with the grin of a Cheshire cat take over.  It is a subtle revolution, and these covert terrorists want no rebuttal.  Our current GOP is a metaphor for a rogue species.  In the cruise industry employees respect the guests.  It is the primary rule.  On land this doctrine is-ill fated, because there are rogue species.  Those who pay to cruise afford their treatment.  The only hidden agenda was when ruthless women fraudulently began accusing male employees of sexual harassment and rape.  A handful of these demon women sued multiple cruise lines and won large monetary settlements.  Some male employees ended up in foreign prisons alone  without representation.  Luckily these companies became discerning at identifying rogue species.  Now skateboards are a prohibited item for the crew.  Jim Crow Jr. is a rogue species.  The "woke" movement is a reaction.  It is a difficult debate, the fixation upon America's ills and whether to teach them or move past.  Traditional American history has chosen not to highlight these heinous atrocities, but these actions do not represent all of America.  In a nutshell they are our soul.  America does have soul from other avenues.  Surviving the Great Depression, Midwestern dust storms, jackrabbit invasions, and cotton-eating Boll wevils is enough to form a staunch soul.  The purchasing of enslaved  imported African workers to build a rice fortune in Charleston, South Carolina is an example of one of America's ills.  After Abraham Lincoln penned the Emancipation Proclamation and hundreds of thousands of healthy Americans were slaughtered in our Civil War, Southerners refused to recognize the newfound freedom of these imported Africans.  They did not ask to come to America, and it is understandable their African traits seemed unacceptable to some.  This is true today, the fear Americans seem to feel simply by the appearance and speech of different races.  It requires energy not to react emotionally.  One must tell one's self that just because a person looks a particular way doesn't not mean they have less value or credibility as a human being.  Perhaps they have been dealt an unlucky hand.  Perhaps they are dirt poor.  Perhaps they are desperate or addicted to various substances.  This is a complexity of the melting pot of America, an immigrant nation.  Should these people be characterized as invading species?  Is their goal to take over and decimate our native population?  Are the social entitlements provided by our federal government in Washington nourishment for their rogue insurrection?  The truth is those in attendance on January 6th weren't from the "Woke" movement.  They were the source, and they are Jim Crow Jr.
