Elsewhere I used a Metaphor to propose a Viewpoint I felt would aid in the Apprehension of the Status Quo Acceptance of Modern Racism. I used the Catholic Catechism and its "Original Sin" to represent a SUBLIMINAL (Sub-Conscious) Bond to an Americanism that somehow subverted Truth by relegating it to a Distant, almost Invisible, Background, that can be left UN-Explored because of said Distance. The Catholics would have us Believe that we are BORN INTO 'Original Sin'. I used this This to describe American Citizens as being BORN INTO Ongoing Institutional Slavery. Its fucked-uP because we are NOT `Born Into` a Puritan Realm of Religious Freedom, the One in which the First Step was onto a Shore and Land where Purity, Devotion and Resolve, could Flourish as Universal VIRTUES. Instead, Washington's America, is Valued as THE "Promised Land" -- the One in which Slavery Capitalism DOMINATED the Socio-Economic (Infra) Structure as NATURAL, BUCOLIC,, and PRISTINE.
