Next thing you know, we white guys will be enslaved by everyone else. This was never supposed to happen. Time to draw the line, before we are marched out of our land in a Trail of Tears. Or separated from our kids, who will be held in cages.
I just wrote such a Hollywood poem last month:

Superior Jeans in Laramie
Joy Harjo reposted the image of a Klan picketer holding the placard "White, proud and with superior jeans" which reminded me of a couple nights ago MaryEdna & I were watching Laramie the episode titled Day of the Savage
A Sioux chief had just been killed which led to an ongoing "uprising" When I first saw Australian Michael Pate playing the deceased chief's son he appeared so dapper in his leather get-up that I remarked to MaryEdna how he didn't look so savage to me and that I was wondering whether a black man then would be playing a part She quipped that "Savage" must refer to some white character
This was not the only time Pate played a western Indian shifting a broken accent all over Europe. X Brands too didn't have the "jeans" yet was in the cast reminding me of how Charles Bronson the Lithuanian born in Pennsylvania had played the western Indian so often and in other Laramie episodes as well To the show's credit Aboriginal Canadian Jay Silverheels -- Tonto if you recall was also in the show. Thus superiority cannot
be in the genes but only in the jeans -- John Smith and Robert Fuller prove that
