“When
the Looting Starts, the Shooting Starts” - trump
A WikiTorial
That
declaration by trump made WikiLeekZ think about real looting in America.
WikiLeekZ
wonders…When DID looting start in
America?
Was it when
the colonists settled on land that had been occupied for many thousands of
years by Native Americans?
Or did the
looting begin when Southern plantation owners brought and exploited slaves to
do their work in the fields, businesses and homes? Slave owners stole their
lives, robbed them of humanity and looted their abilities and labor for
centuries.
Was Manifest
Destiny - the western expansion and the theft of Native American territory the
first looting in America?
Did looting
start with the slaughter of American Bison herds which were a cornerstone of
Native survival?
Or was it
the stealing of resources of minerals, timber and grazing lands and the
genocide of Indigenous Peoples?
Perhaps the
first real looters in America were the Robber barons of the 19th and 20th
Centuries?
Did looting
in America begin when African Americans were consistently and officially robbed
of an equal education, housing and the right to vote?
Or did the
looting of America begin more recently when, in the early 2000’s, Greedy Wall
Street criminals and other crooks raked in billions of dollars from their
fellow citizens and causing the economy to crash and resulting in zero robbers
going to jail?
WikiLeekZ
reminds us all that these despicable historic events and many, many others,
mostly sanctioned by our laws, religious groups and the citizenry, are real
example of looting.
How many,
WikiLeekZ asks America, of these honest-to-god looters were shot and killed by
a militia, the army, the National Guard or police officers?
WikiLeekZ
also asks, how many black and brown people have been lynched, raped and murdered by our so-called civil society for no
reason at all; and more recently, how many looters of a pair of sneakers or a flat screen TV will be
murdered because…
“when the looting starts, the shooting starts”?
