“I’m not interested in a conversation until the Blacks get their act together.”

One of the I universities that I graduated from is a HBCU. I have worked inner city precincts, I have worked side by side making my living, gone to dinners, weddings, parties, funerals with our fellow Black citizens. I may write about my experiences someday. Those conversations were sometimes difficult (feel the pain when your friend tells how it felt as a child to have to drink from a different water fountain) sometimes rewarding - when a Black man told me in front of leftist Black Dems why he had the greatest respect and admiration for Ronald Reagan, or Blacks who told me that they never voted for Jesse Helms as Dems, but had the greatest respect for Jesse because did not discriminate in helping his constituents - not color, not party.

Yes, I do agree with the liberal idiots - we do need this conversation - but my agreement stops right there. We cannot let our media run it, we cannot let the leftists in education control it, and we cannot let the government run it. Not letting them control it is that we have to push back on the left - those who divide people. It has to be done at the ground level by regular, freedom loving people - in words and deed, We the People. Otherwise, we will keep tearing our country apart by getting caught up in the institutionalized racism enabled by the media.

I hope you agree you reconsider your precondition for having that conversation. If not for what I have written above, then for the Ferguson Grand Jury, which included Black citizens, fellow Americans, who did their duty right there in the pressure cooker - and they did what was right. There is hope. God Bless America.

I would have probably gotten into trouble when this part of the conversation came up--

(feel the pain when your friend tells how it felt as a child to have to drink from a different water fountain)

I would have asked if they still drink from other water fountains. When they said no, I would have asked him if he votes Republican because it was a Republican Congress that forced that legislation through?

And that individual who had the greatest respect for Reagan, what does his voting record look like? Or would he even tell you?

I have a good solid deacon friend in my church, we agree on all points of doctrine and conservative politics, but I can see it in his face that he will not brook any words about President Obama, the skin color is too much for him to overcome.
