After 340 years of independence the United States of America has realized that all its advancements and achievements have very little value and there is now a desire to return to the values held by Europe. The very things that were thrown off and abandoned in order to sever ties with Europe more than three hundred years ago are the very things that the US now realize make the difference between class and crass. This is being borne out through the results of the 2016 US presidential elections. There continues to be a cry "We want to be white again". It is quite convenient to ignore and deny the historical records.
This is not as strange a phenomena as it may seem because children have a tendency to adopt the values taught by their parents.The US experiment of abandoning the values of Europe have not worked and one only has to look at how the US is fascinated with things British, French and Italian to find the proof. The values that have been embrace by the US are lacking in substance and lasting effect and these are the things now that the US is seeking. It is time which validate value and permanency but the US is designed to keep the industries going so nothing is built to last. The US is finally learning the lesson that quality supersedes quantity because it abandoned the notion of quality and permanence.
Many centuries ago the Romans empire conquered the Greeks and then discovered that in comparison to the Greeks they as Romans were boorish. The Greeks were learned, had class and culture and aspired after the finer things in life while the only thing that the Roman empire had going for it was its military might and prowess. The Romans saw in the Greek the noble traits and qualities that they desired in their children and many Romans citizens had Greek slaves teaching their children how to be classy and have sophistication. It is not by accident that the Greek language, learning, philosophy, arts and culture have survived to the present while one of the few things that have survived from the Roman empire is the Olympic games. It has always been known that brains is superior to brawn.
In the US there are many that did not change with the changing times and were left clinging to memories of the "so called good old days". These persons conveniently forgot that America's wealth was forged through the labor, blood sweat and tears of African slaves. A people dehumanized because they embodied the very qualities that other races envied. The descendants of these slaves continue to be hated and are the scape-goat for those left behind by progress. It is conveniently forgotten that the Africans were enslaved because of their strength. The descendants of these Africans slaves have courage and hardiness in their genes. The fear of many are that with his already superior strength when the playing field is leveled then others will be at a disadvantage because these descendants of former slaves have demonstrated that they not only have superior strength but they are also just as intelligent and brilliant as other ethnic groups. This [laces the descendants of the former slaves above all other ethnic groups.
The 2016 US presidential election provided the ideal conditions for a message to be proclaimed that there will be a return to the past or at best this is the hope of some persons. This was at a time when progress was being made into the future. The message embraced was riddance of minorities and those who are different so that once more there will be a super race. The real problem being that some persons whenever the look at an African American see who he would like to be but lacking in the necessary qualities. The need to prove that you are superior simply means that you are not superior.
Let us forget for a moment the Native Americans who the Europeans found occupying the land and the treaties that the US signed with Mexico and consider the ignoramus. These ignoramus are seeking a return to the past when they need to be retrained for the future. The jobs they once had are now being done by robots. Their jobs have been replaced by technological advancement. However these ignoramus desire to see the heyday of the past. The ignoramus continue gloating and basking in their ignorance while their inferiors are keeping pace with the advancement into the future.
It was not only the ignoramus that got a glimmer of hope for the future in the 2016 presidential elections because there were many of the educated and elite females who saw a glimmer of hope for the future. It was a glimmer of hope that civility, class and culture may return because if certain classes and groups no longer existed then once more there may happen to appear a semblance of what is in Europe. For these females there was glimmer of a chance to not be seen as a woman but hopefully get a chance to be feminine. The US society long ago rejected feminism and embraced womanhood and now desire to blame other ethnic groups for the lack of opportunity to display femininity. The present culture makes life even worse for these women because not only are they denied being feminine but they are being relegated to being gender neutral.
It remain a pity for the focus was on I and me and and not we. Quite often it is said if I ever get the chance but no one foresee the headaches that accompany opportunity. The philosophies that were embraced in the early days as being high and noble are now being realize to be equated to cattle let loose in a field to graze.
