What
A Wonderful World It Could Be: Louis Armstrong VS. BLM
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and for you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Or so sung
Louis Armstrong over five decades ago. What a beautiful, life-affirming
sentiment…from a beautiful, life-affirming man. For those of you who are young,
Louis Armstrong was Black. Yet Louis, even back then in the turbulent ‘60s, was
an ebullient person, filled not with a sense of victimhood and entitlement, but
with a sense of wonder, appreciation, and gratitude. All of the things which
lead to a life of happiness and contentment. So he sang.
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Compare these
sentiments to what’s taught now. “Higher” education, the hate-America media, Big
Tech, the heads of giant multi-national corporations, Hypocritical Hollywood,
and the rest of the secretly self-hating but virtue-signaling effeminate elites
in government and elsewhere virtually force all but the strongest, smartest and
most independent of young people to despise their country, eschew religion, and
mock the concepts of gender, traditional morality and knowable truth. Thus,
todays so-called social justice warriors and BLM/Antifa types are attempting to
destroy the nuclear family and the society that has all too tolerantly allowed
them to riot in the streets virtually unchecked for almost a year now.
Neither they nor
their elite puppet-masters give a rat’s ass about the staggering numbers of blacks
killed by other blacks in Democrat-run major cities across the formerly United
States. It is clear that, to them, All Black Lives Don’t Matter. In fact, “No
Lives Matter” would be a better slogan and moniker.
So, instead of What
A Wonderful World, they bellow:
I see whites are obscene
Black folks are screwed
Trans, gay, and pangender too
And I scream out to all
I hate you too
And think to myself
What an effed-up
world
Which world view is
closer to the truth? Which leads to happier and more productive lives? “Satchmo’s”
or BLM’s?
What if we appreciated
colors instead of letting ourselves be trapped and defined by them? What if we
treated everyone equally before the law instead of allowing elites and thugs—whether
individuals or giant corporations—to dictate outcomes? What if we all
focused on our blessings rather than on our burdens? What if we took the words
that Martin Luther King spoke-- and Louis Armstrong sung-- to heart, rather
than mocking them with our actions? What a wonderful world it would be.
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh yeah
