Will Chicago Area School District Use Black Children in Dangerous Experiment?

American People Daily reports that the Evanston/Skokie school board District 65 ” has determined that African American kids will have the first option to return to the classroom…..The school board determined that there was a pandemic before COVID-19 ever showed up. They stated that it came in the form of ‘inequity and racism, and classism.’ ”

The school board is lying to black parents by telling them their children might benefit if they started school before the  white kids.  Nobody  knows  what will happen when schools  reopen during a pandemic. .The degree of  risk varies among school  districts .

Evanston/Skokie school board’s  decision to have black students start school ahead of white students implies the district is misusing  black students to determine when  it will be safe for white students to return to the classroom.  Starting students at different times could  lead to  segregation because it wouldn’t be fair to the students  who start first  to  have to  stop and wait for  the others   to  catch  up .

Washington Redskins Name Opponents Ashamed of Own Heritage

Washington Celtics could replace  Washington Redskins because the Irish are proud of their heritage and many North  Americans are simply ashamed of their heritage.

The word “redskins” is a physically descriptive term that doesn’t have inherently negative characteristics.   The word is one of the English translations of the Ottawa term “Oklahoma”.   If we consider the characteristics of the people the term “redskins” was first applied to, it’s a positive term.

I’m attempting to understand why some of the descendants of the people Christopher Columbus called “Indians” say they are ashamed to be called “redskins”.

The only explanation I can think of is they are ashamed that they are not white or perhaps they are simply ashamed of their heritage.

In the 1950’s many black Americans were ashamed of their color. They tried to bleach their skin and straighten their hair to look more like white people.   In the early sixties someone discovered a statement abolitionist John Sweat Rock had made a century earlier.  Rock said, “black is beautiful”.   Many black Americans recognized that Rock was correct.

Black is just as beautiful as white and so is red.   Many white Americans think the complexion of  the Navajo, Cherokee etc. is so much better than theirs  that they are willing to bake themselves in the sun for hours to get their complexion the same color the Navajo and Cherokee are born with.  So why would those who are born with such a desirable complexion be ashamed?

Over 200 years ago leaders of the Piankeshaw, Osage, Santee Sioux and Meskwaki nations referred to themselves as “redskins“.   The great Shawnee nation leader Tecumseh  in his speech to the Osage nation in 1811 used the terms “red men” and “red children [of the Great Spirit]”.   If the original redskins found the term acceptable, why don’t today’s redskins?   Do today’s redskins think they are unworthy of the name used by their ancestors?

If people have a negative view of an ethnic group any word used to describe members of the group will be negative.  In 1850, one of the worst things you could call someone was “Irish”.  In northern states they ranked below blacks.  On southern docks they were given jobs too dangerous to risk the lives of slaves on

There were numerous slurs for the Irish.  For example, blacks often called the Irish “white [n-word]s”. Urban whites used the term “green [ n-word]”    However, people didn’t need to use a slur for the Irish because of the negative attitudes people had about the Irish. This attitude was most commonly shown in “Help Wanted” signs that included the phrase “no Irish need apply”.

Incidentally, centuries before Andrew Jackson moved the Cherokee to Oklahoma, the English moved much of the Irish population from Ireland to North America and the West Indies.

The words “redskin” and “Irish” don’t have any inherently negative implications as is the case with the n-word and the word “native”.    Using the word “redskins” provides a unique one word name for the peoples of the various North American nations .

Using color to distinguish one group of Americans from another implies the differences between them are only cosmetic and members of one group are not inherently better than members of the other group.

Using the word “Indian” for redskins requires adding the adjective “American” to distinguish them from the residents of India.

Using the word “native” requires adding the word “American” to distinguish them from all the different groups of peoples around the world called “native”.  In old movies and television shows the term “native” was used for unnamed primitive original residents of the areas white people were visiting or had taken over.   The castaways on the “Gilligan’s Island” television show were occasionally visited by “natives” from other islands.

The Irish didn’t let slurs and mistreatment keep them down.  They persevered and made “Irish”  a respected name.

In 1968, James Brown released his most important song “Say it Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud“.   It became the theme song for the black power movement.

Redskins nee d to take similar pride in their complexions.   They need to tell everyone they are proud their skin is “red”.

The old leaders who called themselves “redskins” stood up to the white man. Native Americans take orders from whites.

Redskins were free and independent people.   Native Americans often live on reservations overseen by the government.

The leaders who called themselves “redskins” were self reliant and self confident. Native Americans often appear to lack self confidence.

Defunding of Police an Insane Idea

Members of  Black Lives Matter  [ BLM] and others who talk about defunding  the police seem to have forgotten that in February two white men chased and killed a black man in Georgia.  Similar  vigilantes  would probably volunteer to maintain their version of “law and order”  in policeless cities.

When a  football team is making mistakes, they don’t disband the football team.   They  fire  the coach.

If  leaders in Minneapolis or  other cities can’t figure out how to run a police department they  should resign so voters can elect leaders who can  figure out how to run a police department.

Leaders in many cities are in effect telling police the leaders don’t believe Black Lives Matter by encouraging  black women to abort their  babies.   People can debate whether or not aborting  a  baby  is the  same as killing a  baby after it’s born, but  there is no debate of the fact  that a policy  encouraging  black women to abort their  babies  is racist.   Police  working for a racist city government might subconsciously think they can get away with excessive force.

Americans Are One Race with Members of Many Colors

Media are perpetuating racism by falsely claiming color divides us into different races.

Jesse Washington has reported that many dark skinned Americans recognize that they are not “African” Americans in spite of what some racists say.

The term “African-American”  perpetuates the  principle tenet of Southern racism:  “part black, all black” under the “one drop rule”.

Those who use the term are in effect segregating  Americans with dark complexions from the rest of the population they may be related to.   Those who use the term believe that those with dark complexions should only be able to claim their African ancestors and should forget about ancestors who came from Europe, North America or Asia even if most of a person’s ancestors came from places other than Africa.

The media in particular apply the term indiscriminately to any American with a dark complexion. For example, they call golfer Tiger Woods “African American” even though his ancestry is predominately Asian.  His mother is Asian and his father had Asian as well as African and American Indian ancestors.

Dr. Martin Luther King dreamed of a day in which  color would not be important.  Unfortunately, the media along with many politicians and black leaders are still preoccupied with skin color.

Members of the media still falsely claim that differences in skin color among Americans indicate a racial difference.  Perhaps there is an European “race” that is white and an African “race” that is black, but if there is an American race it is red and yellow, black and white.  We Americans are a mixture of peoples from all parts of the world.

As the Lakota say, Aho Mitakuye Oyasin (We Are All Related)   regardless of the color of our skin.

The fact that a person has dark skin doesn’t mean a majority of ancestors came from Africa. Dark skin only means a person received  one or more of the half dozen skin color related genes that produce “black” skin from an African ancestor.   For example, dark complexioned singer Eartha Kitt  told talk show host Dick Cavett that her father was white and her maternal grand father was Cherokee.

Some of the genes associated with dark complexion are also present in persons from other parts of the world, especially India and Australia.  The versions of the skin color genes that cause dark skin are dominant genes which means if a person has a dark version of the gene, complexion will be dark even if the other gene is associated with light skin.   Incidentally, the African gene pool includes the albino gene  which means some residents of Africa have pale skin.

Calling black Americans African-Americans denies them the opportunity to claim their European (especially Irish) and North American ancestry.  The first Africans  in the English colonies worked with the Irish in  the fields and occasionally became sexually involved with them. In some cases planters deliberately forced Irish women to have children by African men to produce children of a desired complexion. Later, Irish overseers and plantation owners sometimes offered favors for sex or just raped slaves.

Until the 1960’s Southern white men could rape black women without fearing punishment.    Some black women voluntarily had sex with white employers or their sons.  Former Sen. Strom Thurman fathered a daughter by his parent’s 16-year-old housekeeper when he was a young man.   Young southern women were told that if their good night kisses were too passionate, their boyfriends might seek sexual satisfaction in the black community.

Some black Americans can trace their ancestry back to President Thomas Jefferson and his virtual wife Sally Hennings.   DNA tests confirmed the claim that Sally Hennings descendants were also descendants of  Thomas Jefferson.  The tests examined the “Y” chromosome which is passed from father to son.

A test of the “Y” chromosome of Martin Luther King III indicates that he and his civil rights leader father Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a north European male ancestor  like about 33% of black American males.

The Spanish who established colonies in South Carolina, Florida and Georgia in the 16th Century using African slaves were less likely than the British to bring wives and instead used their slaves for sexual satisfaction.  The French in Louisiana also had a shortage of white women.  The French, unlike the English, even used terms indicating the proportion of African and European ancestry.

African slaves of the Spanish started a long association with the original inhabitants of North America that continued in the British colonies.  The Africans left behind when Spain withdrew from Florida joined with the Seminoles.  In the English colonies the Cherokees and some other tribes socialized with the Africans, gave refuge to runaway slaves or had African slaves of their own.

Many white  Americans, including former President Warren G. Harding, have African ancestors.  Some believe as many as four other white presidents had African ancestors.  After the “Roots Miniseries” many whites who researched their family histories were  surprised to find ancestors who served in the military who had a “C” after their names for “colored”.

Most whites with African ancestors probably don’t even know it because their African ancestors whose skin was light enough to pass for white covered up their past.  It would only take a few generations of people with mixed parentage to have descendants with skin light enough to pass for white.  If only one gene were involved, the math of inheritance would indicate that if two parents each had one black parent and one white parent approximately 25% of their children would have white skin.  The math is more complicated with the involvement of multiple genes, but  the probability of some light skinned children increases with each generation.

Racists  sometimes suggest that black males  have a greater propensity for violence especially against women and falsely ascribe that characteristic to their African ancestors.   If some  black men actually have a genetic tendency to commit rape and murder it would be far more likely that they inherited the gene from a white male ancestor who raped one of their black female ancestors than that they inherited it from an African male ancestor.

Another popular stereotype is that blacks have “rhythm”  which they are supposed to have inherited from their African ancestors.  Although the slaves’ African heritage would have influenced their music, it seems more likely that the social and biological association with the musically oriented Irish would be more responsible for the black emphasis on music.

The Irish responded to the repressive treatment by the English through musical expression.  They would have passed that tradition along to the Africans whom they initially worked with as “indentured servants” and later supervised after black slavery was established.  The slaves blended their Irish and African traditions with their own situation.  They concentrated on expressing themselves through music because their oppressors didn’t allow other ways to “fight” their situation.    Watch Irish groups like Riverdance and Celtic Woman and then say that black Americans could only have gotten “rhythm” from African ancestors.

The first  African “servants” arrived in Jamestown in 1619 only 14 years after the founding of the settlement.  During the two centuries of the Atlantic slave trade only about 500,000 additional Africans were imported into North America.   Britain led the way to ending the Atlantic slave trade in 1807 and the United States quickly followed to outlaw the importation of slaves without prohibiting the internal slave trade.   Thus, the vast majority of the 4.5 million blacks living in the U.S. in 1860 were born here to parents and grandparents who were born here.   A substantial portion had at least some ancestors who were living in North America at the time of  the American Revolution.

It’s time we recognize that the only African ancestors of the descendants of slaves arrived here centuries ago.  We need to recognize that those dark skinned  Americans whose ancestors were slaves are just as deserving of being called  regular Americans as those of us with light skins without any modifier that segregates them from the rest of us.

Americans with dark skins should be allowed to claim all of their ancestors, not just those who provided the genes responsible for their skin color.  Those of us with light skins need to accept the possibility that many of those with dark skins are our distant cousins.  Those of us whose ancestors arrived here a couple of centuries ago or came from the British Isles, especially Ireland, likely had relatives who had sexual relations with the descendants of Africans. We could also have ancestors who came from Africa. Those whose ancestors have lived in the south for several generations, especially if they have dark naturally curly hair,  could easily have an ancestor who passed for white at some time in the past.

Americans need to recognize that color is only skin deep.  It doesn’t totally define us.

George Floyd Riots Are a Warning to Autocratic Governors

The George Floyd rioters may  identify with Floyd because they feel that state or local government is kneeling on their necks.

The  claim   that  Floyd    died of strangulation  ignores  the fact he was able to say “I can’t breathe!”   The fact Floyd  could speak means he could exhale air through his throat.  Thus the statement “I can’t breathe!”  probably indicates he could  not expand his lungs so  he  could draw in air.    He would have had trouble  expanding his lungs lying face down with a man  on  his back.

If the men involved in Floyd’s  death  are typical of  those who  work for the Minneapolis police department I’m glad I don’t have to rely on the Minneapolis police department for protection.

The Senate Should Investigate What Pastor Clenard Childress, Jr., Calls “Black Genocide”?

The Senate  should  investigate the  practices of  Planned Parenthood  that Pastor Clenard Childress, Jr., justifiably calls “black genocide”?

Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as

… “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;”

Pastor Childress charges Planned Parenthood because “Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn’t that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, ‘Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.’ Is her vision being fulfilled today?”  Childress wgarns “the most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb”

Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece, Dr. Alveda King,  condemns   Democratic Party supported Planned Parenthood’s  abortion practices. King points out  “The leading cause of death in the African-American community is not gang-violence, gun violence, heart attack, stroke, HIV, high blood pressure, diabetes. People will name all these. No, it’s abortion. And the reason we have come to that conclusion, statistically, you’ve got 60 million plus abortions legal in America since 1973. About a third of those occur in the African-American community. That means dead babies. And, with us being 13 percent or less of America’s population that means we are having more abortions’.”

King says ” the number of abortions don’t mean that African-Americans are more immoral or don’t care.”  Instead  she states:  “We are just regular, everyday people like everyone else. But Planned Parenthood moved into our community with the abortion killing centers and said, ‘We’re here to help you. Let’s kill your baby, so you can have a better life.’ Well, killing our babies doesn’t give us a better life. I have had my own abortions in the 1970s. They were secret then, and after I became born again in 1983 and became a pro-life voice, I began to talk about how those abortions hurt me and my family.”

Dr. Day Gardner points out that  Planned Parenthood is worse than  the Ku Klux Klan.  “The KKK brutally killed about 3,500 black people since it began in 1865, Sanger’s Planned Parenthood is responsible for 19 million black deaths since 1973.”

Gardner quotes Margaret Sanger’s letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble which explained Sanger’s  evil plot.

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the negroes is through religious appeal. We don’t want word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro population. The minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Gardner points out that  Planned Parenthood has continued  to follow Sanger’s playbook.

“Today, black ministers, politicians, and community organizers are still ‘hired’ to support Margaret Sanger’s form of ethnic cleansing. With full knowledge of how abortion is decimating the black community, they, like Judas, have sold their souls for ’30 pieces of silver’.”.

Clearly Planned Parenthood’s targeting of black women to stop them  from having babies  is a form of  genocide under the   Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide  

“any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;”

If you believe the Senate  should  investigate the  practices of  Planned Parenthood please write your Senators in your own words or send them a copy of this post.

The Real Story of Slavery – Part 2

The initial forced labor in the British North American colonies involved indentured servants who served a limited amount of time and were then freed. Many whites volunteered to  serve a period of time in exchange for funds to pay for their trip to North America. Although these indentured servants were only temporary slaves, they were slaves in every sense of the word.   Owners could mistreat them and even choose their sexual partners.  Use of   indentured servants continued through April, 1775, when prominent Virginia planter George Washington     advertised  a reward  for the  return of 8 white and 2 black runaways.
s
The Africans and many Irish were forced to travel to the British colonies. Irish were sometimes sentenced to “transportation to America” for illegal acts.  Over 300,000 Irish  were sent to North America and the West Indies as slaves.  .  Thousands of children from London streets were rounded up and sent to the Americas.

Most indentured servants were white, particularly Irish, but some were Africans like Anthony Johnson who like white indentured servants was given some land after being freed.  Johnson used indentured servants on his land.

Later when a decision was made to allow people to be held as permanent slaves, only Africans could be permanent slaves because they were foreigners.  The law didn’t allow British subjects to be permanent slaves.  However, initially black children of indentured servants could be treated as permanent slaves because the mother’s status as free or nor free determined the  child’s status.  If the mother was a slave the child woul be a slave.   This practice differed from the traditional practice of having the father’s social status determine the child’s status.    A white slave child would be considered an indentured servant.  A black slave child would become  a permanent slave.

By the time permanent slavery began whites and blacks had been having relationships for years and produced children of mixed ancestry.   Some plantation owners forced white female  indentured servants to mate with black men so the children would become permanent slaves.  This practice increased the portion of the slave population that had European [white] genes as well as African [black] genes.   The slave population received additional white DNA from slave owners and overseers.

The relationships among those of mixed ancestry and between those with  mixed ancestry and whites were producing children who could ” pass for white ” in the 18th Century.   Some with a slightly dark complexion might have claimed to be of North American or Mediterranean ancestry to gain acceptance as whites.

The relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his sister-in-law and virtual wife  Sally Hemings provides an example of this situation.  Hemings was the daughter of a union between Jefferson’s father-in-law  John Wayles. and a slave. Wayles took Hemings’ mother as his concubine after his first three wives died.   Hemings was legally classified as  “white” and had  long straight hair, but the social situation and laws governing slavery likely made an actual marriage impossible.   Some of their children later passed for white after being freed and leaving Virginia.

This situation demonstrates that slavery was no longer about “race” or “color” in 1800.  Even though Hemings was the “white” daughter of a plantation owner, she was still considered a slave who became part of the property of her father’s estate when he died in 1774.

Various accounts in the following years indicate that household servants were often of lighter complexion than field slaves.   Many suggest this situation indicates color prejudice.  The more likely explanation is that the household servants had lighter complexions because they were related to the plantation owner.

By the time of the Civil War there were 5,000 black slave owners and  many slaves who were light complexioned or even white.

The strange case of Jane / Alexina Morrison demonstrates that slavery wasn’t necessarily about color.  According to the slave trader who sold her in Louisiana the blonde haired blue-eyed young woman he called “Jane” was born a slave. The woman who called herself “Alexina” sued him for kidnapping her after she escaped from him. The case bounced around the Louisiana courts just before the Civil War with juries siding with the woman and the courts with the slave trader.  It  apparently is still technically before the courts.   Regardless of which person was telling the truth, the fact that the courts even considered the possibility of Morrison being a slave demonstrates that white slaves were a part of southern slavery by the start of the Civil War.   Some of the escaped slaves whose narratives were published before the Civil War mentioned having seen white slaves.    Harpet’s  Weekly in January carried a picture of  slaves recently freed by the Union army who were white.

The Real Story of Slavery – Part 1

Many  Americans believe slavery only involved white people owning black people.  They believe the master race was white and the slave race was black.  North American slavery actually involved relatively rich people,[e.g. land owners]  owning poor people who might or might not be of the same color.

There were two types of forced laborers brought to North America:  indentured  servants and permanent slaves.   Most of the primarily Irish indentured servants were forced to travel to North America, but some were volunteers.  The first Africans were treated as indentured servants but were eventually treated as permanent slaves.  Members of the two groups worked together and the historical account indicates there was sufficient sexual contact between the two to produce a hybrid group of permanent slaves whose members could be  called “black Irish”.

Unfortunately,the fact that most  slaves were black and most owners were white led to a belief among some whites that this situation meant blacks are inferior to whites.   This belief began during the slave era in part as a way to justify treating some people as slaves in an otherwise free country.

The first  Africans arrived in Jamestown in 1619 only 14 years after the founding of the settlement.  During the two centuries of the Atlantic slave trade only about 500,000 additional Africans were imported into North America.   Britain led the way to ending the Atlantic slave trade in 1807 and the United States quickly followed to outlaw the importation of slaves without prohibiting the internal slave trade
.
Initially North American forced laborers were white temporary slaves called “indentured servants” who served for a specified term such as 5-10 years.   The first Africans who arrived at Jamestown were treated as indentured servants   . Anthony Johnson arrived in 1620 and received some land from the Virginia colony  after he was freed.   In 1651 he  owned five indentured servants (four white and one black.  man named John Casor, who was  considered a permanent slave).

The term “indentured servant” is deceptive because during their period of indenture “servants”  could be brutally mistreated like regular slaves.  Some owners treated much cheaper Irish indentured servants  worse than ;lifetime slaves.  Africans cost from 20-50 pounds Sterling compared to about 5 pounds Sterling for an Irishman.

Owners could even choose who  servants would mate with like  they were breeding  horses. Owners might use whites to breed lighter colored  slaves to be  sold.  Raising slaves for sale would become a signaficant part of the plantation economy. Light colored females would eventually be sold as “fancy slaves” to be prostitutes or concubines who might command a higher price than a prime field hand.

Many servants were children  picked up from London   streets.  The exploitation of children in the North American workplace would continue into the 20th Century.

Europe didn’t have a large enough population to support large scale agriculture in the Western Hemisphere when colonization began.  The British used the colonies to relocate the Irish, but Ireland only had a population of 1.5 million.  The Spanish use of African slaves had begun before the discovery of land available for settlement in the Western Hemisphere.

Africans had been capturing, enslaving and selling each other for thousands of years  before Christopher Columbus discovered a huge new market for African slave traders.   Africans continued to enslave each other after the end of North American slavery.  There are reports that Africans still practice slavery.

The career of  Englishman John Newton demonstrates not only that whites could be slaves, but that those who engaged in the slave trade could also be slaves.   Newton was a sailor on a slave ship whose shipmates sold him to a West African slave trader because  they didn’t get along with him.   A friend of Newton’s retired ship captain father arranged to free Newton. Newton evenstually got a position as the captain of a slave ship.  A religious experience convinced Newton to become a Christian minister and become active in the movement to abolish slavery.  He wrote the popular hymn “Amazing Grace” which according to gospel singer Larnelle Harris uses a west African sorrow chant for the melody.

Put Immigrants in Democratic Districts

If President Donald Trump can’t keep the caravan from entering the country, he should try to transport the participants to congressional districts whose voters elected a Democrat to Congress. Many Democrats want to encourage immigration so we should expect voters in those districts to welcome immigrants and be willing to share local resources including jobs with immigrants.

Voters who don’t want more immigrants in their districts shouldn’t elect politicians who want to increase immigration.. Voters in higher income districts shouldn’t vote to encourage immigration unless they are willing to have new immigrants for neighbors

Roseanne’s Tweet Isn’t Racist

Slandering apes by comparing them to politicians isn’t racist because comparisons can involve both black and white politicians. The practice isn’t new.

Who does the following rant describe? ”This guy is weird! This guy’s, like, an ape. He’s got ape arms! He’s got, like, ape-awkward arms. This guy’s, like, an ape-awkward guy! This guyyy! Is an ape;”

No, it’s not President Barack Obama. He was a president, but he wasn’t a Democrat.

No, it’s not President George W Bush. Many people nicknamed Bush with variations of the word “Chimpy”, but this president lived in a different century and had a long lanky build..

Well would you believe “the Illinois Ape [The Original Gorilla The Orangutan in the White House]” was none other than President “Ape” Lincoln. I mean Abe Lincoln

Valerie Jarrette would be in good company if Roseanne had compared her to an ape, However, Roseanne didn’t say Jarrette was an ape. Roseanne tweeted “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

Johnny Carson occasionally observed that if a comic had to explain a line it wouldn’t get a laugh. Comics rarely analyze situation. They make observations based on a superficial view or use an idea that comes from their subconscious. Sometimes they will get a laugh and other times they may lay an egg.

“The Planet of the Apes” is a series of movies based on a science fiction story set in earth’s distant future. Apes have displaced complacent humans as the most intelligent species. If Roseanne is making a negative comment about Jarrette then obviously Jarrette would be one of the “dumb” humans rather than one of the intelligent apes.

I realize that those who support the old southern one drop rule consider Jarrette black, but her DNA is more European than African. The people of the Middle East are white. The Europeans originated in the Middle East. For example, the Aryans are Indo-Iranians.

Roseanne’s combining of the Muslim brotherhood with “The Planet of the Apes is interesting because the Muslim culture is attempting to displace the European culture like apes displaced humans.
