I am generally despondent over the prospects of ever really having an “honest discussion about race” in our country. The Doctrine of Politically Correct Thought and Speech declares a number of topics as “off limits,” and unless we can put these topics on the agenda, the honest discussion isn’t going to happen.
Some of those topics are:
1. The role of the government in destroying, through its welfare and dependency programs, traditional black cultural constructs that promoted education, work, family, and church;
2. Failure of blacks to take accountability for their acts, as opposed to blaming others for their predicament;
3. Continued adherence to the “Black Code,” a doctrine that requires all blacks to support another black person when engaged in any dispute or confrontation with a white person, regardless of how wrong the black person is in the dispute.
These things are patently obvious to any thinking white person, but no one is permitted to mention them in public discourse. Because of that, the “honest discussion about race” will never take place because it lacks the element of honesty.
But there are some Blacks who may well rise to the occasion. As we get into a more honest discussion about Islam - which was helped by Ben Carson’s unflinching stand that we should not have a Muslim POTUS because of sharia’s incompatibility with the oath of office - I think we’ll find people having the courage to say things that need to be said. The media would like to pit good people against each other so that the crooks can do business as usual, but if we can refuse to fall for their plan, good people who are able to see who has honest perspective and who is just milking the corrupt political cow can join together to bring about good, rather than to foment trouble for political gain.
Trump in conversation with Black pastors is a good start. Trump in conversation with the police unions is a good start. The sheriff in Milwaukee - is it Clark? - is a good start.
I’m hopeful that at least some Blacks are waking up and realizing how they’ve been used, and are tired of excuses.
Educational vouchers would go a long way. Obama and Bill Ayers thought the best thing they could do for inner-city Blacks was to train their teachers in Sub-Saharan Supremacy, so they could learn to hate America and whites. A lot of good that Annenberg money did those Chicago “youths”... Getting Blacks out of corrupt places where they don’t learn the attitude and skills needed to take control of their own lives would make a huge difference.
Shortly after Obama got into our White House my Dad had a stroke and we spent time visiting him. We ate at the small-town cafe and met the cook and server, a Black man who had gotten sick of Chicago and just come to Nebraska to find whatever work he could. He got that cook’s job and lived there in small-town Nebraska and LOVED it! He was one of the most upbeat, friendly people I have ever met. Just made you want to give a big tip because he had brightened our day. I wonder how many people could use that new lease on life, to just get out from a hopelessly corrupt environment.
It makes me wonder what all happened with those who were displaced after Hurricane Katrina. I’m sure there were all kinds of people, but I wonder how many of them found a new lease on life and never looked back.
That’s what I’d really like to see. But it won’t happen for those who are comfortable on the gravy train.
I’ll keep hoping and praying.
