Bingo! Blacks were on the road to recovery until they came to rely on others (government) to do the hard work for them. The New Deal/the Great Society share this: they are socialist programs and behind these socialist programs is an agenda. Race/class are the ways the communist manipulates strands of society to fight among themselves. What Obama is doing is the “finishing work.” He’s putting a nice trim on things by ensuring that blacks cannot succeed in a capitalist society (without an education you can’t...without an intact family it’s hard...when you are prey to the streets it’s doubtful). The communist age is almost upon us. The polarization of black/white - rich/poor is almost irrevocably set. The minds have been made (and made up) to think no more. The racist murderer in the story is a hero to many (think about that!)
The true house negroes (the Jacksons, the Sharptons, the Wests, the Dysons, the Robinsons, you could go on) do nothing but engender racial hostility with every waking breath. These are the new house negroes, because they are being used by their slave masters, the socialist/communist agenda folk to ensure that there is no rest for the land. Their minds are filled with hatred and bigotry (none so blind as he who WILL not see). They never NEVER speak to their own communities’ shortfalls without laying it all (ultimately) at the foot of white racism. How convenient.
When I was teaching in Brooklyn, NY in the 1980’s-1990’s (the days of Dinkins—another race hustler) I remember time and time again my students (who were all black) wanting to get into discussions about race. There would be a bit of tension as they could get themselves pretty worked up (some of them) about slights (perceived or real) that they themselves had suffered. They would look at me, some with glaring eyes, some with searching eyes...but all riveted on me, wanting to know what to make of it all. Invariably, I would say something to the effect, “Are there racists in the world? You bet there are. Racism is a form of hatred and human beings are capable of hatred. There are white racists and black racists-people who hate other people because of their appearance/skin color. But that’s not the real issue. The real issue is this: What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do? Are you going to become what they think you are? Or are you going to be who and what you are striving to be? In the end, the choice is yours: you can either prove them wrong, or you can prove them right. Prove them wrong.” My students always went away thinking.
I grew up (first 9 years) in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Rochester NY. During the ‘50s, the Blacks were our friends and neighbors. They were the ones fixing up their houses and properties and making for a nice neighborhood. By the time the race riots of the ‘60s had come around, a number had jumped on the “Outrage Wagon” and once friends were openly hostile. BY that time, we had moved to the suburbs, but my grandparents still lived in the old neighborhood so i would visit fairly often. The neighborhood had turned around from nice and well-kept and into a slum in a matter of 8 years or so.
It was the OJ Simpson trial that woke me up. And, all of what you said. That is why Herman Cain absolutely had to be taken down as a presidential candidate. With a black role model such as him, the race hustlers would be put on defense for a change. The image of a black man being successful on his own would pierce the the diabolical meme and scare the bejeepers out of the Left.
The next upcoming black man IMO is Alan West of Florida. Although the left would bring all guns to bare on him (or should I say rope). He lost his re-districted congressional district by a thin margin, and a questionable one at that. I wish he would run for Governor of Florida. He should have been picked as the VP candidate for Romney.
