A whole lot of ‘white’ Americans suffered discrimination and denials for many jobs and places in schools and colleges and universities and varieties of career paths and sometimes even financing, etc etc... for two entire generations, in support of “affirmative action” for black people
The untold story is just how many “white” Americans gave up (or allowed the politicians to take from them) major advantages or oppportunities, things that adversely impacted their entire lives as well as those of any families they may have had
in order to ‘help black people’
Now we have ‘black people’ in the highest governmental positions and what do we get? NOT an end to all this racist discrimination against ‘white’ citizens in USA, which would have been an OUTSTANDING historical action and which would have guaranteed Obama’s historical legacy for all time. And which could have healed many wounds. And which could very well have finally ended racial discrimination on any basis against all Americans for all time, or nearly so.
What do we get? A whipping up of racism among the “black” community... by the very “black” politicos we entrusted to
“serve all Americans” well.
Tragic. Simply tragic. When the history of this time is written, it won’t just be about “Obama’s lost opportunities” .. it will be about all the terrible damage inflicted on USA during these years.
Pray for America.
No leadership at all
‘What do we get? A whipping up of racism among the “black” community... by the very “black” politicos we entrusted to
“serve all Americans” well.’
Obama is doing what community organizers do.
“’The organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems,’ and ‘organizations must be based on many issues.’ The organizer ‘must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.’”

Well look at your own name. From the bible. Which tells of a Lord who cares, but will still give us a certain leeway to hurt ourselves if we insist.
Leadership in a human sense is a two edged sword. It’s possible that a Ronald Reagan could be so “good” that people say let him go on by autopilot, rather than by their feeding in the best that the Lord can inspire them with. It is not common on this earth to have a democracy or quasi-democracy of this scale, and with it comes the responsibility of the electorate to not just vote but pray and act. Without that, we might as well just have a monarch and hope and pray it will be a benign monarch.
Sacrifices were made to create opportunities. They might well have been worth it if the Lord had also been called on as the saving Lord of the hearts and souls of the land, the beneficiaries as well as the benefactors. But He wasn’t. So He sits there in heaven waiting and gives the devil a certain leeway of permission. And these opportunities were squandered by black America.
Gospel is the only true way out of this mess. It is a benefit offered free by the Lord to those who will worship Him, giving their lives to live His life out on earth.
