   Don’t be deceived by all the colors in a bowl of Froot Loops cereal; despite the differing colors, every piece shares the same fruit-blend flavor.

   JOKE:
   Some centuries ago, Benjamin Franklin was facing a difficult decision, so he went to George Washington to ask for his advice.

   “It’s obvious what you should do! Honesty is the best policy!” said Washington. “When my father asked me if I had chopped down a cherry tree, I told him the truth! And then he hugged me and told me how much he loved me and valued my honesty!”

   Benjamin Franklin replied, “Yes, but my wife asked me if a dress makes her look fat. I’m not sure she’ll have quite the same reaction…”

     JOKE:
     A group of engineering students and their teacher were given free airplane tickets to go on a holiday.

     Once on the plane, the captain announced that they were on the plane the students had built.

     Everyone freaked and rushed out of the plane, except for the teacher who stayed there with calm.

     When the flight attendant asked why he hadn’t left, he responded

     “I know the abilities of my students. This shit won’t even start”.

     JOKE:
     Morty and Saul, are out one afternoon on a lake when their boat starts sinking. Saul the banker says to Morty, “So listen, Morty, you know I don’t swim so well.” Morty remembered how to carry another swimmer from his lifeguard class when he was just a kid. So Morty begins tugging Saul toward shore. After twenty minutes, he begins to tire.

     Finally about 50 feet from shore, Morty asks Saul, “So Saul, do you suppose you could float alone?”

     Saul replies, “Morty, this is a hell of a time to be asking for money!”

     JOKE:
     A blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana.

     She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes but didn’t want to pay the high prices.

     After unsuccessfully haggling with of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde said, “Maybe I’ll just go out and catch my own alligator, so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price.”

     Later in the day, the shopkeeper spotted the young woman standing waist-deep in the water, shotgun in hand.

     She took aim at an alligator, killed it, and hauled it onto the swamp bank.

     Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures.

     The shopkeeper watched in amazement as the blonde flipped the alligator on its back and shouted in frustration, “Damn, this one isn’t wearing any shoes either.”

     JOKE:
     Pilot: Hello passengers. I know everyone is in a hurry but I wanted to let you know that my mother in law just called me. She is running late for our flight and is currently approaching the security line.

     Everyone on the plane gave a collectively groan.

     Pilot: I don’t want her to make the flight so please get seated and we can pull away from this gate and get out of here.

     Everyone laughed. And they began moving more quickly to get seated.

     JOKE:
     In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?’ She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you’ll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.’

     The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?’

     She again replied, ‘Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.’

     The defense attorney nearly died.

     The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

     ‘If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you both to the electric chair…!!

   What is your opinion on the slogan “Make America Great Again”? Do you think it is reactionary or inspirational? Why or why not?

   When was america great? When it was a haven for racist, misogynistic white men? Since the origin of the phony document proclaiming “We the people…”when it meant only white men, this country has been in a continuous struggle to right that wrong. So how in the hell could American have been “great” in the past. No matter what this country has done the elephant in the room has been the fact that white men have been the country’s only true Affirmative Action Beneficiary.

   An Affirmative Action Beneficiary is a person or class, race that the government uses its political, legislative, and police power to give that class a benefit the rest of the country does not have. If that doesn’t define the white privilege we white men have in America, I don’t know what does. We certainly didn’t earn it and without it we would have to compete equally with the rest of america’s citizens.

   We deny we have it at every opportunity and we use the most deceptive BS to do so. Like claiming we white men are in danger of losing one thing or another. Yet, we remain the controlling entities in every part of America’s government. So what are we really complain about? That’s easy to answer. We are complaining about the few places we have been forced to share with those we didn’t have to share with before because we are white men. “Make America Great Again” is part of that BS. America was never great because of us white men, we just took all the credit for the good and laid all the blame on others for the bad stuff. We white men control history, meaning the how history is reported to our fellow Americans.

   Dive deeply into America’s history and you will discover that women and non white men contributed in a very significantly way to the development of America. But since we white men control what the average american knows about what has transpired in this country, we make sure that it is very difficult to discover what women and non white men have done. I am tired of the BS.

   I’m tired of people fucking over me. I want revenge. I like Heinrich Heine. He was very correct when he said, “We should forgive our enemies. But not before they are hanged.”

     Ella, be careful that the hunt for revenge doesn’t eat you up. My favorite person on the subject of revenge is Francis Bacon. I like his quote: “A person that studiedth revenge keeps their own wounds green.”
