I lived with Montagnard tribespeople in 1968 and 1969 in Vietnam , a tough, dark-skinned, primitive, aboriginal race of warriors. Plar was a cute, lovable 8-year old orphan of the Jeh tribe whose parents were both murdered by the Viet Cong. The Vietnamese called Montagnards “Moi” which translates to “Savage” but is synonymous with the “N” word in our language. They had no right to vote, no schools, no medical care, no equal representation in government. I really loved Plar and obtained through channels the paperwork to adopt her, but while I was out in the jungle on an operation for two weeks, my allies, some so-called friendly Vietnamese in my camp raped and murdered her and tossed her body into the barbed wire on our perimeter. Do not try to tell me that I do not understand or care about racism simply because I am a conservative white male.
The big villain in the Presidential race is John McCain, because he too is a white, conservative, Christian, heterosexual male, and to make matters worse, he is not only a former POW but one of those dreaded Vietnam veterans. . . and a decorated one no less. If you do not believe me just listen to all the electronic news journalists who swoon and fawn about an Obama-Clinton ticket and how it would be a “dream team,” because we would have a black candidate for President and a woman candidate for Vice-President. Wow!
Here is a question: Should electing the President of the United States be some wonderful social experiment?
