Fascinating analysis, Ron! I found your link while listening to Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson on Danny Haiphong’s show. I am an American woman married to a Russian /Ukrainian man for 35 years. I have long felt a strong link between the psychology of American blacks and Russians based on their shared history of slavery. Your essay really hit home to me, along with your short historical videos. Please keep up your excellent work and I look forward to hearing more from you on Substack.
I am SO very heartened to read your words of compliment to me!! 😊🌷🧡🙏 Your words cause me to sing the following song, by Carl Carlton, but substituting the word "I'm" instead of "She's."
"I'm a bad Mama Jama, just as fine as I can be!!" 😊😊😊
Okay, just kidding!! 😊 Thank you!
Yes, the Russian people and Black folks in the U.S. have both, in the past, been victims of slavery--the Slavic people way, way way longer than the 246 years, from 1619 to 1865, that our people were in slavery. The Slavs were used as slaves for 3,000 years.
By the way, believe it or not I am a patriot of the United States, despite our country's faults [stupid leaders!!] The Founding Fathers turned their backs on European monarchy and its often oppressive system, what with its style of caste system, what with surfs at the bottom. They also, though accomodating religion, weren't too happy with religious authority (the Papacy) under Papa (the Pope).
The founding fathers--in must 89 years, from 1776 to 1865--got rid of a system, slavery, that had been in existence for 11,000 years (eleven-thousand years). That is absolutely remarkable. So, I feel that I have proper context. But, it's just SO sad that our leaders are so messed up. Gonzalo Lira, three years ago, loaded a 1-hr, 44-min video at YouTube, in which he explained why our leaders are incompetent:
In summary, while matriculating through the educational system, they develop a form of habituated conformity that leads to habituated incompetence. I hate to sound arrogant. But, if I wasn't qualified for something, I would take it. Politicians, though, think differently, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, our country has huge problems. Pray God He will intervene to save our country!!
I am a HUGE fan of Vladimir Putin, by the way!! I wish I could meet him.
My wife (which surprises people) is Caucasian, and we've been married for 38 years.
Well, again--and seriously--your compliment is soooooo important to me!! Thank you!
Last, I'm sorry to say, I discontinued writing Substack articles a few days ago. From 2022 to a few days ago, I wrote 1,000 Substack articles. I won't be writing anymore, though I deeply appreciate your request that I keep up this work. I can't. I'm sort of tired. I've been fighing "the good fight" since April 5th, 1968.
I even had to fight--and hard--my myself, due to my utter hatred of Caucasians, when, in the 1960s, up to 1975, I was a hardcore Black nationalist. But, you WOMEN!! When you flash those EYES at a dude, whether you're a Black woman, a White woman, a Brown woman, or Yellow woman, he's gonna CRASH!!! She flashed those eyes at me, and I been with her ever since!!
We worked at the same place--Sherwood Conservatory of Music--and that's when me and hardcore Black nationalism broke up!!
As people say, "If you ever want to make God laugh hysterically, tell him your plans." MY plan was to move to Tanzania, work in the Tanzanian government as an Agricultural Engineer, and "be Black." Well, Morna, my wife, had OTHER ideas. I cancelled [permanently!!] my trip to "The Mother Land."
There's a writer named Rod Keithly who wrote a book entitled, "Racism: What it is, what to do about it." In it, he said, "When two peoples meet, they might NOT always bleed [war], but they WILL always breed." 😊 💃
