Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to. This time, the silent majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
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, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
I guess he now qualifies as a racist.
I’m wondering why the word “blacks” is capitalized throughout this article and “white” or whites” is not.
I wonder if wearing underwear... you know “tighty whities” makes you a racist in this day and age... [/sarc]
Yeah.....and it was the DEMOCRAT PARTY that started the Ku Klux Klan....and the DEMOCRAT PARTY that instituted JIM CROW LAWS....and the DEMOCRAT PARTY that blocked all CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION from the 1860’s on....including Al Gore Sr’s Recordbreaking Filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act....oh, and it was RICH WHITE GUYS who started HOWARD UNIVERSITY, among others. The TRUTH is coming out. READ the book written by Wayne Perryman....UNFOUNDED LOYALTY...he’s an African American who did the research and switched parties when he got through....
They don’t want a conversation on racist. They want a communist style denunciation of whites leading to whites giving up more money for racial marxism and another generation of grievance politics where blacks vote lockstep for socialists.
Succinct
Not to mention the untold billions the USA and other European countries have spent in Africa over the last half century.
With reparation payments
Good Post!
Short but right on point....
WestSide Gazette......
Part of the BlackPressUSA Network....I’d like to read the followup letters on this ‘Pat nails it’ column. He wrote this a week ago, btw.....thought it looked familar.
Interesting my husband and I were discussing earlier this evening how ironic that our first black president should be the man to rush the entire country into a Marxist-like government where we all have fewer freedoms, the very people who complained about lack of their own freedom wants us all to be slaves to the government.
That answers my question in reply #2.
LOL - Awesome[ly funny] pic!
(I’ve been feeling a bit frustrated/useless of late... maybe I SHOULD remember that. Thanks.)
I’m not sure the NAACP would have gotten off the ground without money from rich white folk, specifically certain members of my tribe.
P.S. Despite the generosity of Jews in funding the NAACP, anti-Semitism is rampant among blacks.
So is denial of this fact among Jews.
