I'm not chastising any FReepers or using language to degrade anyone else's perspective of the 'truth'...merely expressing my own personal views of the moment, and grateful that Free Republic offers this forum opportunity to do so.
One objective of FR (on the Home Page) is to "...root out political fraud and corruption..." and I know of no greater purveyors of political fraud and corruption than Bill & Hillary Clinton.
I'm an old, white Irishman who knew nothing of the black culture in America until, long ago, I saw the movie "Malcolm X" and was moved to learn more by some of his outrageous rhetoric which, oddly, seemed to carry some elements of 'truth'...
I'll say nothing against [Martin Luther King Jr.]. At one time the whites in the United States called him a racialist, an extremist, and a Communist. Then the Black Muslims came along and the whites thanked the Lord for Martin Luther King.
If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. The white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
I'm not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner. Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American.... No I'm not an American, I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy.... I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of a victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.
We're not Americans, we're Africans who happen to be in America. We were kidnapped and brought here against our will from Africa. We didn't land on Plymouth Rock - that rock landed on us.
What goes on in Reverend Wright's church is going on all across America & has been throughout my entire life. I'm weary of it and NOT afraid of the O Boogie Man, who just might be the right man at the right time to begin healing our country's deep, racial wounds. The Clintons will never do any more than exploit the racial divide for money & power that devolves to themselves...and THEY ARE trying to 'lynch' Obama to further their own, egotistical ambitions.
While John McCain will certainly get my vote in November...we are very close on the political spectrum, much to the chagrin of many FReepers I suspect...it probably won't make a difference because I'm in California, which is sure to have it's Electoral votes cast for the Dem candidate...who I hope & pray will be Obama (the O Boogie Man, yes, but don't be so scared!)...
I’m a conservative female who happens to be black and I’ve seen Obama/Wright/Jackson types as I grew up in Chicago. A lot of it went on in my neighborhood and my parents moved to keep it from affecting me and my siblings. They don’t just foment racial divides, they turn blacks against each other. There are weak minds and lost souls with misplaced anger that are susceptible to the hate. And these nationalists/marxists are addicted to power and control.
I take those real-life experiences to heart as I see people poo-pooing the black nationalist rantings and continued attempts to rise to power.
I see where you’re coming from in your disdain of the Clintons. I hope you come to see my position.
