Miss El and I are certainly a couple of cornballs. Because we truly enjoy watching TV shows that started even before we were born. And that’s a long time ago. One of the shows we’ve been watching, on YouTube recently, is I’ve Got A secret.
I’ve Got A Secret is a gameshow where a panel has to guess the secret.
The host, Garry Moore, brings out a guest who whispers his secret to Garry. Then, Garry gives the celebrity panel a hint. And they get to ask the guest questions to gain information to help them guess. And oftentimes the questions are hilarious because of how they don’t fit the secret.
For a few episodes the word “indigenous” became a standing joke, with celebrity panelist Bill Cullen. Because the word popped up during the questioning of a particular guest. Then, Mr. Cullen would use it in a funny way at other times.
And, of course, I shared all that with you because yesterday was Columbus Day here in America. Oops! I mean indigenous peoples day. Nope. I actually meant Columbus Day. But there are some knuckleheads who think indigenous peoples day is more appropriate. I’ve got a secret to share about those knuckleheads. They’re wrong.
The most common definition of indigenous, before “political correctness” took the stage, was something like this: originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native. Example: Coriander is indigenous to southern Europe
I’ll let you in on another little secret that’s not so secret. I originated, naturally, right here in America. Right here on the North American continent. And a bunch of generations of my family did, too. So, we are so-called “indigenous people” to America. We occurred here naturally.
And I guess that means yesterday was a celebration of me.
And everyone else who, like me, occurred naturally (aka: was born) here in America. Three cheers for us. Now, let’s get back to us.
Yeah, if only it were that simple. But instead, politicians and distraction activists have too much time on their hands. And why let people live and let live when you can stir the racist pot and keep everybody fired up against each other?
I think they’ve got a secret contempt for righteousness. But that’s no surprise. That’s been the status quo for human beings almost as long as there have been human beings.
How many laws have to be passed
Before we’re obscured in the shadows they cast?
And how many plans must we invent
Before we can step beyond mere intent?
(from my song “Say Yeah”)
