#LikeFatherLikeSon (like Fred-, like #DonaldTrump; like Ancestors, like #JohnKasich ... We Need to Breed-Out the #KKK-genome!) @GregoryUSSenate

The "TheOxfordScientist"-post linked below ... it's titled "Like Father, Like Son," and it mentioned Fred & Donald Trump; so (without reading its 'meta-title' (the subtext you see when you mouseover the browser-window's tag)) I thought it would be an article about how the Trumps made it to the top of the real-estate charts through guerilla-style conniving & titanic tyranny;

but the article 'took a left turn' quick, revealing that Fred Trump was involved with some nefarious operations, and that John Kasich approved of some similar programs ...

E. Lamont Gregory describes their racist dealings in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that initialism better. And I find you understand initialisms better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)

I'm sure you know KKK stands for #Ku #Klux #Klan.

Ku Klux was originally the made-up word #Kuklux, modeled after the ancient word that means |Circle or Cycle

And Klan was of-course an alliterative spelling of the word |Clan. #KuKluxKlan #Kluxer

Originally an organization of former Confederate officers and soldiers, it was put down by the U.S. military in the 1870s. Revived 1915 as a national racist Protestant fraternal organization, it grew to prominence but fractured in the 1930s. It had a smaller national revival 1950s as an anti-civil rights group, later with anti-government leanings.

I think I've taken the first step in getting rid of the racist genome---not 'a BIG accomplishment,' but it's a start ... referring to our predecessors above, I almost called the 'Ancestors' "Our Forefathers." But that title didn't fit well---you hear "our forefathers," and you think of "George Washington at Valley Forge" or "Ben Franklin's correspondence (letter-writing)" or "Thomas Jefferson helping the other Founding Fathers write The Declaration of Independence."

(Yes, I'm sure you can research them and find many disreputable dealings they all had; but those shameful things aren't what we build our country nor our lives upon!)

I decided 'Forefathers' implied that "they went the way we want to go." So I changed it to 'Ancestors'---the past genes that--whether we're proud- or ashamed of them--are "the clay we are to mold into our future selves."

And I took out the 'Our' so that we can be more objective about it---instead of "dying to become someone new" (I think of The DOCTOR WHO Doctor's "regeneration"), we're simply 'modifying the proper citizen.'
