I'm going to take a slightly different tack . What of American citizens are totally oblivious to their own ancestry. If they did they wouldn't believe in white privilege or white rage propaganda the Radical Left is disseminating. Due to such ignorance, people are susceptible to such brainwashing. They would find that their ancestors endured hardship and dire scenarios when they arrived as immigrants to this continent from early colonial times through the early twentieth century. My viewpoint differs from many others because I grew up in an immigrant household where other languages plus English were spoken. The mindset was different because they had to learn English to find a place to live and earn a living. I'm not ashamed of my skin color because i knoow here I came from.

I plan to show the Atlas Shrugged movies, and yes, I did get permission several years ago about this from the "Producers", now that the movies are available on the Internet anyway.

Once a product of my environment teenaged segregationist who shortly before age 20 began to go through changes, I've always despised communists just like Nazis or any other kinda fascists such as smelly AntiFarts.
Same goes for the all kinds Marxists even those who who pass themselves off as sweet little libtarded Progressives these days.

Thanks, freedomforall. I hope it is SRO, too. I enjoy what I am doing. My biggest challenge is finding time to do it all!

Ok, that explains why the first two tries failed but sending it to Kim worked.
I was bitchen at concrap...

I hope it is SRO every Friday night, jb. Great!

Yes my wife and I have both said to each other we would rather die on our feet the live on our knees.

Thanks. From the first link....
The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has funded Florida Tech substantially over the past decade to instill its 3C's values of curiosity, connections, and creating value. While much of that happens in the classroom, establishing such a culture requires educating students on the cultural references in movie, TV, historical, sports, literary, comedic, and personal sources that best exemplify these values. To this end, to help establish community, and to make Florida Tech more fun, I have purchased DVD's toward establishing a Friday film festival and a Sunday evening "Dr. Brenner's Study Breaks" series. Before each event, you will hear a brief recording from one or two slides from my nanotechminorprogramhistorywithaudiov4.pptx (or perhaps a drbrennerstudybreaks.pptx file that is yet to be generated) that provide context on why I picked that night's cultural reference, followed by the movie, TV episode, or documentary, and ultimately by a brief discussion on the topic. I hope to get these study break episodes to air in the Olin Engineering 118 auditorium as plan A, the Honors College building as plan B, and Zoom as plan C. In the brief descriptions that follow each cultural event listed below, a sentence or two is copied from the sites from which I purchased the DVD's, along with a brief explanation from selected slides from within nanotechminorprogramhistorywithaudiov4.pptx of how that cultural content is important to FIT's maker initiative, my nanotechnology minor, the Honors College (see "Honors Activities" in the link, and most importantly, KEEN's 3C's. The narrated slides will serve as the pre-activity briefings for the dorm programming. The file referencesforculturalcontent.doc is supporting documentation.

Thanks Kevin. 👍🏻

Lyrics for
Brothers in Arms

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home was the lowlands
And always will be

Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As a battle raged high

And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

So many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Got a new email address I ‘ll PM you

Thanks Shaifferg.

Thanks for sharing. We as decent humans all have
a choice .That is to choose to become a better person or not. When born we are a blank canvas.
We mimick and we learn. As we learn we discern.
We make mistakes and good people learn from them. In my lifetime I have seen prejudices from whites wane and prejudice against whites increase. The Marxist leaders play their evil games to divide US. The hatred they have fomented and manipulated should be focused on them.

I just purchased movies for a series on Friday nights and watch parties of History Channel documentaries for my Honors Nanotechnology Minor Program at Florida Tech, specifically to counter this self-loathing culture.

Self-loathing is something my friend asked me about earlier today. I responded, "Who is John Galt?" He knows what this means.

I have not heard this. Yes, it is very pleasing. Thanks! Also, thanks for including the words.

Speaking as someone who is 62 years old, I grew up watching Star Trek (The Original Series) before they went to reruns. I remember one episode where our heroes came upon a planet that was doomed because their star was about to go supernova. Their escape plan was to create a time machine (located at their "library" whose head librarian was a "Mr. Atoz") and go into the planet's past to live out their lives (episode "All Our Yesterdays"). Due to a misunderstanding with Mr. Atoz (who thought Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were inhabitants of his own world), he made our heroes go through the time portal. Spock and McCoy wound up in the planet's distant past (Ice Age). Gradually, Spock started "reverting to his ancestors" who at that same time (back on Vulcan) were still emotional "barbarians." Of course, everything worked out in the end, but in the final segment, Spock made the comment, "I too, felt a brief surge of racial bigotry - most distasteful." As I watched this episode for the first time (as an impressionable 10-year-old), it made a lasting impression. I had enormous respect for Spock, and if he said that bigotry was a symptom of a primitive, barbaric mindset, then it must be. In the Star Trek universe, there was bigotry there too: various people had negative attitudes towards Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, maybe even "green Orion slave girls." Always, it was treated as a repulsive, ignorant, and uncivilized mindset; it helped form my own attitudes. I will never bow down to the golden calf of leftist progressives, and that includes "White Rage," "White Privilege," etc. I am no better than anyone else because of the color of my skin, and I am sure as hell not any worse than anyone else because of the color of my skin either. End of rant.

If you haven’t heard this song , I am sure you will find it pleasing.

I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladies I'll enjoy
All Durham and Northumberland
Is measured up by my own hand
It was my fate from birth
To make my mark upon the earth
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They'd cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker's boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker's boy
In the forests of the Iroquois
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear


Why your stars should guide us here
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

Excellent post, Dobrien. I have family photos from previous generations as well. One thing I noticed that each photo has in common with all the rest--fashions change, but the family bond stays the same, love and respect for the older generations. Maybe that's one reason so many of my relatives are conservatives, the exceptions for the most part being those who went to big universities. Your family looks impressive. My grandfather spent his life as a locomotive engineer, proud of his job and doggone good at it. I have some wonderful memories and I sure do love trains.

I have a direct ancestor who came across on the Mayflower, looking for escape from Europe's religious oppression. My 3x Great Grandmother left England because of the same, then came to the west. Now, there's no place left to go as the leftists/socialists continue to march west. They have no interest in allowing others to think differently. They have no interest in anything other than self-aggrandizement and power. And there will come a point where free people will have to choose to either stand up and kick it ALL back out of this land - or submit to it.

Cancel Culture? Yes, it's Communism.

For anyone who has not read Radical Son by David Horowitz, go read it. It's a really worthwhile book. David gives a harsh look inside the American Communist activities of the middle of the 20th century. Those people were his friends, or so he believed. Two of them were his parents.

My only complaint, which I am rectifying in my own copy of the book, is that some of the editing was poor and it's sometime hard to wade through all the people whom David calls by their first names but who appear in the index only under the last name. "Betty"? Oh that's Betty van Patter. Betty's murder turned David against his Commie buddies.

We have no common culture any more. There is the leftist culture, and the original American culture. We should divide as a country peacefully if possible.. There wont be another united america in the future, IMHO.

Google the National Monument to the Forefathers located in Plymouth MA.
Restoration of the five pillars of this granite monument would go a long ways to restoring this Republic!
Faith Belief in Something
Morality there is right and wrong
Law instituted among men to provide rules and settle disputes with Justice and Mercy
Education Knowledge of matters of law and it's foundation
Liberty the result of following and living the above

Raised in a segregated south Alabama when the n-word was a common slur not considered as such, I was very moved when I heard MLK say that on live TV. It was a first step in changing me into a better white dino.
A few short years later during 1970 I shared a canteen with a just as thirsty black Marine while thinking, "I know some people who'd be screaming at me in Dothan, Alabama, right now."
Later as I used the GI Bill to go to Troy State University, I held a door open for three black women. (Guess "co-ed" is a no-no word now like "actress.") An enraged white woman with about as many onlooking white female students exclaimed, "Look! He's opening that door for N****RS!" Me dino smiled at them. Thought it was funny. It felt quite liberating actually. Recall there were white guys around at the time but they said or did nothing.
At about the same time I had a friend at TSU, who once said, "Nobody asks to be born black."
"Nobody asks to be born any color" is what I have to say to treasous Marxists, who seek to divide Americans by race since it's harder to do it be class such as in, say, 1917 Russia.
