I’ve often wondered why so few people notice how leftists have absolutely no reluctance to use force on others. Hardly anyone seems to notice how much they love to wield power over others, and how quick they are to punish anyone who doesn’t submit.

I wasn’t born during slavery, I wasn’t born during the civil rights movement and frankly I am sick of hearing about it all we have come along way I don’t need to learn the Black Perspective I think they have great role models
Basketball players, football players, baseball players, Actors and Actresses, Oprah has made it very big. Condi Rice, Fredrrick Douglas, Alan West, Michael Steal do I need to go on and for the love of Pete Obama was elected President of the United States not once but now twice. I think everything has come full circle if they can’t find something to be proud of in these people they will never be proud

When our schools were first integrated, I had a black teacher who did a fine job of integrating American History, tying in prominent blacks with the rest of the timeline. We learned about George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, Crispus Attucks, and Fredrick Douglas, but the rest was light on the contemporary (now 'iconic' socialist blacks, with the exception of Martin Luther King Jr., who were still in the process of making headlines.

Slavery was taught as something that was, and is no more, not a cause for hatred and resentment, but celebration that it had been ended so long ago.

Education, along with hard work, was stressed for everyone, but especially the blacks in the class, as the key to success.

Speakers at the school even included the first black Air Force General and Cab Calloway.

My, how times have changed. Now everyone is a victim, and no one is responsible for their own progress in life.

None of the prominent Blacks we learned about would have become prominent if they had not applied themselves, because there was no affirmative action yet.

0bama seems to surround himself with those who appear to have a chip on the shoulder, determined in their own ways to elevate the station of blacks at the expense of whites. Susan Rice could learn a thing or two from a Condoleezza Rice, yet, these are the black leaders they despise. I’ll never understand it. I suppose it upsets their philosophy.

Yes, he performed a bunch of songs for us, too. It was neat, and it stressed that there were indeed roads to success, even easier and paved by these individuals who had the hard work of pioneering them, and that it was American Society one would advance in, not a hyphenated one.

Then MLK was shot, the likes of Rap Brown and Ralph Abernathy and Eldridge Cleaver and the New Left moved in and hijacked what could truly have been the end of racism in America to turn it into a militant cause for hatred.

We've been going down that road since and it is leading to an ugly place for all. Worse yet, many people who showed promise were derailed by that movement, largely pushed by the Communists of the New Left to disrupt society in the US.

It has worked and continues to do so, just as the hijacked Conservation movement led to the ecowhackos of the current EPA, attacking western industry, much of it started with or infiltrated by Communist interests during the Cold War.

Susan Rice is a racist.

Someone needs to show the clip of what Barbie Boxer did to Condi at her confirmation hearing and ask, “Who’s the racist?”

How about we make you learn things from a “Free Man” perspective.

We know all we need to know from your perspective and it’s dispicable.

The racism, the bondage, the caste system. None of it should have existed and that time has passed. Sadly, 130 years after a couple of ratified amendments that were constantly undermined by courts all over the south and finally, repaired, fulfilled and enforced 130 years later...

Now, you must learn what it means to be a free man and develop the indomitable desire of, not only, independence but, also of self determination and some days I don’t know which outght to be first but you must have both...

Maybe they should try to imagine where they would be if not for slavery which brought them to a free and prosperous Nation and then made them citizens - maybe they would prefer being part of their original hell-holes...
