"White" Civil Rights???

I am about as white as you can get, physically.  White as in the White in White Anglo Saxon, Protestant, WASP. My Lineage Genetically is 50% British and then the rest various varieties of Irish, Scotch, and a little German.    How much more white can I be.  Yet I do not feel I am discriminated against at all.   When I walk down the street I feel free.  I am White in the USA and it does not get any better in the USA.  Or so I thought.

Apparently I am greatly discriminated against if I can not demean and Hate people who are not white and will not stay in their place or are deviants.

Ah, there is the rub, I am a deviant of sorts but I do not outwardly act upon it.

I do not understand this martyr attitude of people who feel discriminated against because they can not make sure that non-Christians and Non-whites are not made to feel inferior and suffer because they exist.

I grew up in the Church, Methodist hence the "P" in WASP.   I loved Church, and as long I was a compliant Child was loved back, but when I got older and had to face my faith in the ravages of War in Vietnam, the Church was less loving to me.  I went into the Army and served in Vietnam, just with out a gun.  My personal Faith tells be that God is the giver and taker of Life.  I refused to kill.  I got little support, not that I needed it from man.  The Discipline of the United Methodist Church says that the Church does not believe in participating in acts of war.  Not one person in clergy of that Denomination encouraged me, but rather told me I was ruining my life.

Christians talk a good game but when it comes to actually living, it is not clear at all they know what any of their Disciplines or Bibles say about life on Earth.

I have no complaint about Black people being black.  I grew up in the White South and the black experience for me is mostly from secondary sources.  In the Military I had a number of non-white friends, good friends as along as we were in the army.   Once in open society, I found I had no opportunities to befriend black people.

Civil Rights??  Maybe that should be the right to be civil to all of our citizen not just those like ourselves?  Try that on for size.

My mother was born in 1903 in Alta Loma, Texas, now known as Santa Fe, Texas, the place where one of the latest school shooting took place.  My Aunt wrote a book* about that area where our family were founding fathers and mothers.  My Grandmother was a Mid-Wife there.  My Grand-folk were the business owners and office holders there.  But it was and still is a white community.  I never went to a Public School that was not segregated.  The Black school age kids were bussed, before the  controversy of bussing White Kids, the Black Kids had to be bussed 20 miles to another city to attend their Black School.

Next month I will be 72.  I am so tired of living knowing that after all the talk in the years from 60 on about equality and freedom we still are a shallow people who can not live up to our ideals.

White Civil Rights.  There is no such thing.  It is "Civil Right"  and they are for every one.   Or at least I want it to be that way.  I cry a lot as I have gotten older.  When people ask me why I cry, I relpy, "why aren't you?"
