On the bright side, I hope southern Blacks living outside big cities realize once and for all that neither major political party cares what we think. There was zero political activity in my community because Democrat leadership in D.C. and Atlanta have always wanted to “run up the numbers” in the city to counterbalance the rural areas.  Well, the Empire struck back.

On “End of the Innocence,” Don Henley sang about “when happily ever after fails…we have been poisoned by these fairy tales”  and “O’ beautiful, for spacious skies..but now those skies are threatening.  They’re beating plowshares into swords..For this tired old man that we elected king.”  “Armchair warriors often fail.”

You know what, I didn’t want to hear her being blame for everything in the world for four  years…go listen to Henley’s Dirty Laundry…”Kick ‘em when they are up…kick ‘em when they are down.”  He did that one at the MTV Bill Clinton Inaugural Ball.

So, can we agree that who the mayor, governor or president is isn’t as important as how you carry yourself.  Oh, moderate Blacks have always thought that but the liberal elites running the Blue Team didn’t want to hear that.  It’s about C.D.C.: Choices, Decisions and Consequences. Newsflash: that’s how the Obamas got to be so sharp and together.  You keep your nose clean, do your school work, avoid fools, pay attention in church and honor your family.

If we can accept Bush over Gore, we can live with this election.  The Blue Team helps people who don’t in turn vote.  Bottomline.  Those non-voters can feel the wrath. ..let me stop with the drama.  Candidate Obama always said that one person can’t fix what is wrong in your life.  That is up to you.  Presidents aren’t Jesus.

Actually, this election could be a heaven-sent blessing.  You know now that the government doesn’t care about you so you need to get yourself together.  We need to step away from constantly considering politics because it’s a dirty game.  Politics is the art of controlling elections while governing is the science of better functioning government.  Those people spent billions saying bad things about each other; billions that could have been better spent.

For me personally, I am done with the current Blue Team and Red Team.  Mr. Trump is really a one man gang…he took it by his dam self.  The Blue Team is about gay folks, progressive folks, Latino folks and urban folks.  They never listen to my country Black -ss so peace.

We should spend the next year in a southern Black family conversation about getting our Southern Black country back from elements on the far right, far left and hip hop thugs.   As quiet as it is kept, upright Black folks never really depended on the government.  As a kid, we knew who we were and we knew whose we were.  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.  Liberals have created a climate of entitlement with people and surprisingly those people don’t vote.

So, the end of that Henley song is about heaven.  I didn’t know that Bruce Hornsby wrote those lyrics—you remember his “that’s just the way it is…somethings will never change.”

“Who knows how long this will last

Now we’ve come so far, so fast

But, somewhere back there in the dust

That same small town in each of us.

And let me take a long last look

Before we say good bye

Just lay your head back on ground

And let your hair fall all around me

Offer up your best defense

But this is the end

This is the end of the innocence.
