The Unemployment rate is up over 10% and African Americans are 6% higher than the national average. Does our government play a historic role in disenfranchising Blacks in America? Since Obama is an African American/Blackman should he be more informed and concerned with the specific needs of Black people in this country? I often ask people who say Blacks shouldn’t get special treatment, but how many slaves volunteered to come to America and build it for free?
Like the President, I have studied Malcolm X intensely and I grew up admiring him as a youth. I studied all of his speeches and read all of the books about him. I learned from Malcolm the difference between a reformer and a revolutionary. A reformer is a person trying to improve on current conditions and practices. A Revolutionary is concerned with complete change and wants to do away completely with the old way. We don’t need a President to reform a system that was setup to work against people of color. We need a revolutionary who will do things that revolutionize this country and the world in the way they see Black people all around the world.
According to Time magazine:
“Ever since 1953, there have been at least two Blacks out of work for every jobless White.”
I can’t stand when Black leaders in control think they have to save the world versus saving themselves first. I love Gandhi, Muhammad and all those leaders who helped their people to advance. I am just waiting on the moment when Black leaders and Black people look to save themselves first. If Dr. King would have put the effort into transforming Black into a single and separate productive society, we would be so much further as a people. Think about all the things we lost since integration. We owned our own hotels, schools, stores, etc. and Dr. King later realized his mistake and spoke openly about how he had lived long enough to see his dream become a nightmare. He started to speak on reparations when he talked about the check the government wrote Black people that came back with insufficient funds. The government killed Dr. King after he met with Elijah Muhammad and then made the speech on how he might not get to the mountain top with us.
The government of America has created welfare programs that supported women and children but not men. The family was split because the woman would not get assistance if the man lived in the house. The men making only enough to support one person saw this as a way the government was helping them at the time. I see Black men now going to jail for child support when the economy is at the worst it has ever been in the history of this country. I think if we make up the majority of the prison system and we are the lowest on the job scale, we should be the first to receive some form of assistance. I don’t think we should get a hand out but maybe get a few loans with no interest for 7 years to open up businesses in our own community. This should be an option. We should be given the opportunity to rebuild our communities since we know crack cocaine was put into the Black community by the government. The only people who prospered from the war on drugs started by Ronald Reagan a.k.a. the Devil, were the police department and the prison system.
I think since I am a Blackman/Original Man I can speak on how I would act if I were the President. I would relieve Africa of all it’s debt to the World Bank, the United States, France, Britain, Germany and China. I would offer free education to African Americans who were willing to go to work in Africa for three to five years on its reconstruction. I would release all non-violent criminals who were willing to go work in Africa for the remainder of their time. I would relieve all Black and Brown people of their debt to mortgage companies since we know the Bush administration targeted them for these illegal loan programs. I have not even gotten to Jim Crowe or slavery and you can see how we already deserve reparations.
Whenever the government is in trouble of crumbling they call on the Super Black Man. This has happened all through history and then when they don’t need us, to the back we go. I remember living in Chicago and Harold Washington was elected Mayor. The city was in its worst stages with race relations, jobs were scarce and Blacks were moving into the areas formerly occupied by racist Whites like Marquette Park. The city was on the verge of a revolution, Blacks were about to take over. The Brown community was spreading and uniting with the Black community. He did more for Latinos as a Mayor than any other Mayor before him. Whites were becoming the minority and then out of nowhere, they killed him. They said he had a heart attack at his office.
If you look at America, it is suffering economically, spiritually and is at it’s worst moment with race relations. They now go get President Obama, who a lot of people are calling a “Trojan horse” to save the country from Revolution. He is going to reform health care, win the war in Afghanistan and unite all the people. If you believe this then you are still, as my sister www.Sandrarose.com would say, drinking the kool-aid. He said that troops would be pulled out in his first year in office, not more going to war. He hasn’t built on any program to end the Zionism going on in Israel. He went to a Muslim country, broke bread and then came back to go to war with the Muslim world.
I am saying all of this to say we need to create our agenda and no matter who is in office, make them comply to our demands or take up arms as the constitution gives us the right to do and overthrow this shadow government. I strongly believe we should be putting a program together to specifically uplift the Black community economically. But as far as what the President will do, the Whitehouse spokesperson, Robert Gibbs said “The President will not create a program to just help African Americans, he is more interested in programs that will help the whole economy.” Until truth prevails my eyes will be watching.

“How many blacks were sold into slavery by their very own black race? How many billions more dollars are we going to spend on people that simply do not want to help themselves (black and white).”
Not to mention half a million dead and a couple million maimed in the civil war...that oughta buy a lot of reparations...and the revisionist horseshit aside, economics isn’t the only thing that put those boys in the ground...
well im talking about the ones that I see in my area :O Im not racist but Im not going to be PC about either.
AFter the Holocaust, many Jews had nothing but the rags on their backs and what was in their head. Now after so many years many are living like kings and many of them build new lives with nothing, citizens of nowhere.
After two hundred years and sixty years of welfare, benefits, and scholarships exclusively for them, where are they?
It ain't discrimination if a Liberal does it.
I’m sure the slaves weren’t asked if they wanted to come to America. I don’t recall hearing anybody asking us if we wanted to financially support a criminal class of black people who refuse to get educated and go to work.
That does it... unfair comparison
You are right , it really shows drive, spirit and recognizing the power of education.
The blacks have had a great opportunity to be equal but they prefer dropping out of school (it’s a white mans thing) , graduating to a criminal life and being afri americans. Some of these blacks have been here over two hundred years and accomplihed nothing other than jail time, three wives and fourteen children
Needless to say there are exceptions and they have done very well but still, the majority will ridicule them for being “white”.
The Jew? He readily acknowledges the best investment and as such invests heavily in tomorrows generation. His child? Gets education from day one. They are never left to grow like weeds or creatures of the field.
Then why was 0bama Muslim in his younger days, and why are his siblings Muslim?
“The blacks have had a great opportunity to be equal but...”
It’s called “keepin it real...”
This nut apparently admires Zim's Robert Mugabe who has murdered millions of his people because he certainly has been thinking about himself first. Also, Shabazz contradicts himself when he insists that the US should 'save Africa' from its own problems, of course with handouts and 'reparations'. We've been playing that game for trillions of dollars and it's only made things worse for blacks. Then, Shabazz is full of feces whenever he asserts that blacks have 'built America'. Person for person, they have done a lot less than non-black people to build America.
Because the Luo are Muslims. The majority of the world’s Muslims are NOT Arab.
Then why did the Luo adopt the Arab religion? The fact that they are Muslim in Africa pretty much necessitates interactions with Arabs in Africa.
Yes...have them build more prisons.
Arabs are an ethnic group. Islam is a religion. The two are not one and the same. Capice?
And about 99% of Arabs are Muslims. And given the Arab genesis of Islam, my term 'Arab religion'. I perhaps wrongly believed that anybody with a normal intelligence would not assume that I was calling all Muslims Arabs.
My point is that nobody has shown that the Luo have had nothing to do with the Arab slave trade. Unless you can provide specific cites to back up something to the contrary, you appear to me not to contest this.
$15T to eliminate poverty since the Great Society (thanks LBJ) and what have we gotten? More out of wedlock births, higher crime and more government dependency than ever. What a brilliant plan. Trust me, if there is a revolution and we throw the Kenyan out of office, the blacks will burn every city to the ground. Good population control plan though.
I agree with Kim du Toit’s essay, “Let Africa Sink”
