Back in 1974, I tortured my mom with my informed opinions (lol!) after reading the book "Black Like Me".
Boy, did I ever carry the black flag.
And you're right. Obama has changed things. He has created "black-think". Blacks think they are owed something they never earned. Their parents fought for, and earned equality, but that's not enough for black-think.
Black think calls for revenge.
Which validates my mothers opinion (i.e. give 'em an inch..) In my day, blacks just wanted equality, they wanted to be thought of as human - of course! And I agreed.
Then politicians, with their own agenda, twisted it. Sadly enough, blacks were ripe for the twisting.
I grew up next to an historic Underground Railroad town in the North. My parents regularly said, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” It was understood that had multiple meanings as my mother was a reading teacher and we lived in a town that dubbed it’s self “An International City.”
Then, I spent the majority of my nursing career working in large hospitals on the edge of the ghetto of a major city. My husband teases me about how my views changed. Reality hits one in the face when they’re spitting out kids just to get more government money and admitting it, while driving a BMW, eating steak and lobster I’m paying for that I can’t afford for myself, and it’s delivered to their door. (Stopping my rant before my head explodes.)
I forgot to add- and jail gives them street cred. They get 3 hots and a cot. Also black culture is a bit different when it comes to white regarding homosexuality. Many of them don’t have an issue with same sex relationships between men, as we discovered medically when black wives started presenting with HIV infections. That isn’t racist, it’s an incomvenient medical fact. So jail- food, shelter, sex, street cred...not so much a deterent.
