A BLACK MAN’S RESPONSE TO THE BIGOTRY OF ROBERRT
DILLON

ONE BLACK MAN’S CONTRIBUTION TO
AMERICA
Roberrt Dillon tweeted, “Once Black, always Black.
You go through life with a chip on your shoulder.”
.
Yes, Roberrt, you're right about that – “once a Black, always Black” - and thank God for it! Some people call your kind of bigotry hatred, but this Black man happens to recognize it as fear and insecurity, so I can’t even get angry with you. I’m compassionate, and I have the intellect to understand that you're afraid of being left behind. That’s an unmistakable sign of ignorance, and ignorance and fear should always be pitied, not hated. So I understand you, Roberrt, in spite of yourself.

HERE’S A BLACK MAN THAT I RAISED
"Protecting teammates in 1996 was just the beginning of a career of security. Following graduation from Azusa Pacific in May of that year, [Eric]Wattree entered the Air Force where he served for ten years, most notably as a certified Phoenix Raven Anti-Terrorism Specialist. He was tasked with ensuring the safety of government officials and high-ranking military personnel while providing support on highly classified special operation missions in Afghanistan and other places throughout the world.
"While still with the Air Force, he joined the Drug Enforcement Administration out of the Seattle area, working on complex conspiracy and international investigations. He stayed with the DEA for 15 years until last year, when he accepted a new position as senior investigator and security specialist with the Arizona Department of Economic Security."
MEMORANDUM FOR OFFICER TRAINING
SCHOOL SELECTION COMMITTEE
FROM: 92 SFS/SFO
2 E. ARNOLD STREET
FAIRCHILD AFB, WA 99011
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Staff Sergeant Eric L. Wattree
1. I wholeheartedly concur with Staff Sergeant Wattree’s request to attend Officer Training School. He represents the enlisted ranks with the highest standard and will bring that dedication and professionalism to the officer corps.
2. Eric continues to lead a stellar military career; his enlisted performance reports speak for themselves. His leadership and experience, especially in contingency environments, remains a vital asset to our unit and wing. As one of my primary Phoenix Raven team leaders, he’s propelled to the forefront of all major deployments throughout the world. He’s repeatedly secured aircraft and crews, supporting a wide variety of missions, in the most austere and terrorist-ridden environments where security is severely inadequate. The diversity of these missions never limited SSgt Wattree’s capacity to adapt to each situation. For this reason, Eric was selected as our 2000 Outstanding Phoenix Raven Member of the Year and the 2001 Air Force Reserve Component Airman of the Year for the 92d Security Forces Squadron.
3. Whether operating under peacetime or contingency operations, Eric easily assumes control and tackles every situation with meticulous tenacity, a quality highly desired in our Air Force officers. Requested by name, Sergeant Wattree, provided security for presidential Banner missions throughout Greece, Peru and Viet Nam. While deployed to Afghanistan, he flew numerous combat missions in our nation’s pursuit to eradicate terrorism through Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. Additionally, he provided round-the-clock force protection for aircraft in other high-threat environments including Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Oman.
4. Sergeant Wattree motivated his personnel during the worst conditions and raised the level of esprit de corps to integrate personnel from other Air Force specialties into a cohesive team. His leadership, integrity and devotion to our Air Force play an integral part in our future leadership. Eric has what it takes to become a commissioned officer and earns my full support to attend Officer Training School.

Roberrt, I always tell young Black people that the best defense against your brand of bigotry is excellence. The most effective way to kill a bigot is to deny him his desperate need to embrace an unearned sense of superiority.
.
And yes, Roberrt, climbing trees with the monkeys in Africa is undoubtedly a part of my heritage, yet, it’s obviously led to making me intellectually superior to you in spite of all the obstacles I had to overcome. So maybe you should to go to Africa and try it yourself, it may contribute to your character and intellect.
.
So your childish digs don't insult me a bit, because I love everything associated with being Black, climbing trees with the monkeys and all. After all, every bit of my heritage contributed to making me, me, as opposed to being someone like yourself - and there is indeed a big difference between the two of us, and I take great pride in that difference, because it's the difference between Charlie Parker and Boots Randolph, and Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
.
Bigots like yourself suffer from the erroneous assumption that Black people yearn to be White, but let me let you in on a secret - while most Black people have the intelligence to know there's nothing inherently wrong with being White and that White people have every right to take pride in their heritage, if most Black people woke up White themselves, they'd want to commit suicide. So your arrogant air of superiority strikes the vast majority of Black people as an idiotic delusion of grandeur.
.
Think about it, Roberrt - everything that Black people decide to take seriously, from music and sports, to being President of the United States, they become the very best at it, and you know that. That's why you're such a paranoid bigot in the first place, and that's nothing short of dysfunctional.

SO ROBERRT, TELL ME,
WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO AMERICA - OTHER THAN
IGNORANCE, HATRED, AND BIGOTRY?
.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

The man below was assaulted by a group of White men during the 1960s just because he was on his way to vote. This is the hidden code in MAGA. Make America great again? When was that? You, Donald Trump and your band of conservative bigots yearn to return to the 'Great America' of 'the good old days'.
WELL, YOU CAN STUFF THAT DREAM
AND KISS MY ASS!
