Where in the hell are we going in America?

In the wider fields of conservation, in a time when every caucasian individual regardless of their contributions to our society and those actions taken in the defence of our nation harbor profound racist thoughts and ideas, racism and colonialism have now been observed and diagnosed in ornithology’s increasingly troubled and now overtly racist history.

White supremacy and to that teeming pot of micro-aggressions

There is a debate whether to change as many as 150 avian eponyms, who have sadly become saddled with names which recall people with connections to slavery, white supremacy and to that teeming pot of micro-aggressions like raising a quizical eyebrow following an inane question. These actions and concerns, no matter how far-fetched and small they are, are stoked by the far left press and media, who have become the cheering handmaidens of the growing communist/socialist currents which are swirling through every single element of our tawdry racist lives, no matter how mundane, farfetched or trite.

According to one of the most read of the far left mouthpieces, the Washington Post, perhaps in beating the NY Times to this scoop, even John James Audubon's name has been found nestled in the current racial reckoning. Despite his detailed drawings and his naming of America's avian species, he was also "an enslaver who mocked abolitionists working to free Black people." And it is said that John often cajoled his neighbours with his tedious tales of his personal micro aggressions and overt oppressions. Audubon was so toxic in today's belaboured views which explain that everyone who is not a minority is a racist that the National Audubon Society — the country’s premier bird conservation group - hasn’t ruled out changing its banner name. And recall that the troubled oriole, warbler and shearwater share that now indelibly proven racist name of Audubon.

Once branded you're never free

 I am amazed at this shocking turn of events. 

It reminds me of Soviet Russia where all those associated with the any accused were sent to the gulags, too - family, friends and acquaintances.  Even Russian POWs freed from Nazi gaols and concentration camps were packed off to the Gulag for 10 or 20 year stretches because they had been "exposed to Western ideals."   

We learn from the 23 Feb 2021 issue of The Guardian that Alisa Meissner is still paying for the Stalin's and the Soviet Union’s decision to exile her entire family from Moscow due to their German heritage during WWII. 

Meissner still lives in a town some 30 miles from the gulag village where her family were sent in the 1940s after the outbreak of the second world war. And despite the rehabilitation of her unjustly exiled family, the denunciation of Joseph Stalin for crimes and the collapse of the Soviet Union, she is still unable administrationally to leave her village. 

“It’s been a lifetime sentence,” she says during an interview from a small town in the Russian Kirov region, 600 miles east of Moscow and beyond the Urals. “My mother died here. She was exiled and was never able to return. And I am getting older. But I want to live. And I want to live in Moscow.” Nope, once branded you're never free.

Today, in America, are we now any different from Stalin's USSR?

Millions of Soviet citizens were exiled to the vast gulag network of prison camps under Stalin for real and imagined crimes, dissent against the government, and even, like the Meissners, as punishment for simply "belonging to notoriously untrustworthy” ethnic groups like the Volga Germans.

Today, in America, are we now any different from Stalin's USSR? We dig up the bones of the long dead and move them because their "documented" racist outlook spoils the soil and riles their buried neighbours where the dead overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

We tear down statues of those who saved our nation in the worst of times, like the removal of a statue of Abe Lincoln erected in Boston thanks the donations of freed slaves. It seems that few can recall that Lincoln was assassinated by an agent of the South ostensibly because Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves. Nope, these activities carry no weight when his heart was weighed against that feather of Maat, the goddess of justice and balance in the Egyptian afterlife, or against the anti-racist visions of AOC.

The Audubon oriole must be renamed the Chirping Anti-racist Yellow Bird

And so it goes.

Someday the narrow beam of the racist spotlight may be turned on me and my bones and the metal holding them together. They will be dug up and carried to a potter's field or the local dump because I've done everything the growing numbers in the communist left hates. And if they hate something, anything no matter how minor, it must be erased. I was a firefighter for some years and I'm a retired police officer who studied German language and culture - three strikes against me. Just being a police officer is now equated with white oppression and those endless micro oppressions that I must have performed and practiced every day during vehicle pursuits, bank robberies, in fighting tooth and nail with maniacs of every stripe to stay alive and in trying to keep druggies out of the same coffin I'm destined for.

But birds? Really? Racist caucasian names hung on our feathered friends must not be tolerated. The Audubon oriole must be renamed the Chirping Anti-racist Yellow Bird.

Just today, I learned that the inventor of the Dewey Decimal System, Melvil Dewey, has been outed as a racist and that racism exists in the Dewey Decimal System. This may not come as a shock to you, my good friends, but surprisingly numbered tomes and their contents are a clear and present danger to us all.

The beat goes on.
