A message to the oppressed (with heavy doses of sarcasm) -
Let’s see if I have this straight:
A black man was elected to the most powerful position in the world, not once, but twice, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
A black woman, Oprah Winfrey, is one of the world’s richest women, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
Both a black woman, Condaleeza Rice, and a black man, Collin Powell, served in two of the highest level cabinet positions in a white president’s administration, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
A black man that was appointed by a white president sits on the Supreme Court, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
Blacks make up the majority of NFL rosters, making millions and millions of dollars, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
Blacks make up a substantial majority of NBA rosters, making more millions and millions of dollars, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
Blacks are systematically given preferential hiring opportunities in major sports coaching positions, and blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
Blacks make up a significant portion of large city police departments, and when blacks are arrested for committing crimes, even arrested by black police officers, blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
Countless black men and women have risen to prestigious positions of governance in both the corporate world and in local, state and federal government, yet blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
I think I see a trend developing here, and I believe it is called “Entitlement Mentality.” Yes, we White Anglo Saxon Protestants (translated “deplorables”) have really screwed over black people in the past 50 years. (NOT!) I understand there are still race relations issues and problems in this country that have to be addressed with compassion and sincerity (issues made significantly worse by the actions of the previous president’s fuel on the fire at every turn) but black people (and frankly Hispanics, Asians, etc. etc. etc.) in this country are WAY better off than they were 50 years ago. Every real/true statistic known to man bears this fact out. Yet, blacks maintain they are oppressed in America . . . Right!
If you don’t believe me, try some of this protesting $hit in any other country on the planet, and see where it gets you!!! And frankly, all this bitching and moaning woe is me $hit is getting really old. We either have a country with a Constitution, laws, borders, etc., or we don’t. If we do, then get off your dead ass and go to work like I have for the past 47 years and do something productive and quit your bitching! If we don’t have a country with a Constitution, laws, borders, etc., then my friends, you are not going to like the outcome, no matter which way it goes. I promise you, take a trip to any other country in the world and see how this protesting and violence is dealt with under communism, socialism, real fascism, etc. You and your candy assed whining will be put down faster than a bullet through a gun barrel (no pun intended). Grow up and go to work people! Make a better place for you and your family through hard work, perseverance and commitment. You were not put on this earth to be permanently on the government’s tit and neither was I. One man cannot Make America Great Again. It is going to take all of us “working” together side by side, not “protesting” side by side.
