[Free in Texas]

Terminal case of white guilt. Too far gone.

[Claytonbridge]

First, America has been the best country on earth for Black folks. It was here that 600,000 Black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity Blacks have ever known. Rev. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere have done more to lift up Blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ‘60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell Grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance Black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for Blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

Barack talks about new ‘ladders of opportunity’ for Blacks. Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for ‘de-serving’ white kids? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African American community has hit 70 percent and the Black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the Black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose Black victims 3 percent of the time, Black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that Black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that Black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena... And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of Black assaults on whites are real, and we hear nothing.

Sorry, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

If we are honest with ourselves we realize that this is a culture issue and not a color issue. As Christians we are told to love our neighbors. Loving the black community means being honest and upfront about their lifestyle choices that lead to poverty and not making excuses. I live on the edge of Sanford Fl...and I know that most of the heartache involved in this area is due to people choosing to reject God and follow their own carnal nature.

I don't see him relating a story of being beaten down by a mob of angry Amish yutes, so there's still hope. It the libs that keep up the lies after being mugged, like Pat Brown, that astonish me. They hate themselves so much they think they actually deserve to be beaten by a mob.
