Neal Boortz: Too Bad More People Can't Read This

And our thanks to Townhall.com for bringing it to our attention today. Someone who calls himself "ransom" has a blog on the Internet. Last week he took some friends on a tour of D.C. and happened by the Lincoln Memorial just as some speakers were recognizing the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. Here are some of ransom's thoughts after that encounter:

"I don't disagree that many black Americans remain oppressed, but I would argue that their oppressors are activist leaders within their own community. Some of them perpetuate victimization by ridiculing young black students who do their homework and strive for excellence in school (i.e., acting white). For some, success is only exalted when it is earned in sports, music or within the DNC. However, if a black American succeeds in other areas--like becoming Secretary of State, Supreme Court Justice, National Security Advisor--(s)he is kicked out of the "black American" club having their membership revoked. To these extremists, "black" and "victim" are the same---so if you don't act like a victim, then you can't be black. Black leaders have done in 40 years what white people could not do in 400: to make black Americans accept inferior status."

Talk about hitting the nail on the head.

Well, Mr. Boortz, now maybe a lot more will be able to read this.

Bingo - the waste of human potential in the black community is horrible and though discrimination certainly exists much of this waste comes at the hands of the black community itself. I feel truly sorry for their children.

Looks like you got some free PR.

Black leadership has held their people down so they could control them. Hell, Jesse Jackson couldnt make a living at anything other than running numbers or belonging to a gang.
Of coure Kwesi may be on the Supreme Court if Lieberman is elected!

Blacks who are not slaves on the plantations of the Radical Racial Revival are most often called: Oreos. Of course, J jackson calls 'em "strange fruit". However, given their use of 'Oreo' to describe blacks who are free and accomplished? One then can see into T Morrison's "Clinton as our first black President". I think it's call "Whack", or w'blacks" (I need my teens here to keep me apprised of the new lingo and slangisms): but whatever the term it means "white on the outside, black on the inside".

That "losing" lawsuit against Oreo Cookies was about far more than just "fat", IMHO. The plaintiff didn't win; but was so happy that he got his "word" out.
