do you REALLY want to know why america can't get over 9/11
the following is from BABBITT by sinclair lewis, chapter 10, page 146 :
``.....That's the i.! And another thing we got to do,'' said the man with the velour hat (whose name was Koplinsky), ``is to keep these damn foreigners out of the country. Thank the Lord, we're putting a limit on immigration. These Dagoes and Hunkies have got to learn that this is a white man's country, and they ain't wanted here. When we've assimilated the foreigners we got here now and learned 'em the principles of Americanism and turned 'em into regular folks, why then maybe we'll let in a few more.....''
this was written in 1922. do you really think that attitude has disappeared? of course not! it just isn't expressed this way in public any longer. although i must say some of the current talk radio rhetoric on immigration borders on incitement to race war.
my point is that the psyche of the american public is that of white supremacy. you can deny it all you want, but this is a fact.
and after being run out of vietnam, lebanon and somalia by non-white peoples, getting cold-cocked by a bunch of arabs is just too much to take.
this is the real reason america can't get over it.
and never will.
by the way americans, don't feel overly guilty about this fact. your aussie, brit, euro and russian cousins feel exactly the same. and they're not as bashful about expressing it.
