I understand the problems of Black Americans. But we've now had 2 black Attorney's General, a black President, a black Joint Chiefs Chairman, a black National Security Advisor, two black Secretaries of State, black governors, senators....
I'm not sure how much more equal they can be. The problem is, everyone focuses on POOR BLACK people and claims they're the ones that are being discriminated against.
The problem is, everyone focuses on POOR BLACK people and claims they’re the ones that are being discriminated against.
Maybe someone should point out they are discriminated against by affluent black people too, perhaps even more so than by other races.
Rev Ike used to say the best think you can do for poor people is not become one of them.
“...white Americans are actively trying to keep black Americans down.”
Geee...then HOW one earth do all those laws for NEW and ever MORE government benefits for the ‘underserved’ and ‘minorities’ KEEP ON GETTING PASSED?
I don’t get it!
I noticed that I couldn’t comment on the lovely article by the Yahoo.
Typical.
And about the accusation regarding Yahoo giving a platform to the smear merchants, he’s absolutely right, and it’s not related to comments after articles. I continually see articles being fed from HuffPo and other smear merchants, and there’s no way to stop them. There is no similar feed from any right wing sites.
Is he waking up? For the first time in years I did watch his whole show without hitting the mute button. Usually his black insane guest are so damn sick it is pitiful. Why he gives time to their black ranting is tiresome. Damn I must be sick or O had the flu and mistakenly did a good show. He was right on.
10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be as familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries in his pocket. In the work here to be executed, the best effects may be produced by this maxim, and with peculiar facility. An extensive republic made up of lesser republics necessarily contains various sorts of people, distinguished by local and other interests and prejudices.
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.
Community-agitator-in-chief and the amplifiers ALERT!
Bill O’Reilly isn’t a “right wing loon.”
Bill O’Reilly isn’t a right wing anything.
Bill O’Reilly is a populist.
So the proper term is “Populist loon.”
his ratings must be flat. bill o’reilly was actually interesting when his show on fox news first started, but since he “hit the big time”, his favorite topic to discuss has been himself.
his show has been unwatchable for 10 years.
No-—there is a MUCH bigger problem with “O’R.
There IS a War on Blacks——to destroy the Black family which will destroy the Black race (and make them Slaves forever). It is done by a small group of White elites. They hate the Blacks. The System is rigged and has been since at least John Dewey, the evil Socialist/Humanist, and it was aimed particularly against Blacks, as was “welfare” to destroy the family which will always destroy children. It is almost impossible to get out of the “System” (cycle) which will destroy the Minds of all Black children raised in such a sewer as the Supreme Court has forced on them-— set up with unconstitutional (evil) laws. (O’R needs to DEMAND that ALL unjust Laws are Null and Void-—and have to be REMOVED YESTERDAY. (But NO——he acts like Unjust Law is “Law”. Actually, in OUR Justice System when “Law ceases to be Just, it ceases to be Law”.
But the elites hate ALL human beings outside of their little elite, sodomite circle. They are hard core Marxists/Communists/Progressives.
They are implementing Marx’s plan which was stated by Fichte in 1810: We need to destroy Free Will (Choice) in children, make them so irrational that “snow is black” and they will remain “happy slaves” on the plantation forever.
The masses of Blacks are so Brainwashed by the Marxist system of “Prussian public schools” that they don’t even have a CHANCE to be critical thinkers. The ex-KGB called it “cognitive dissonance” when people who have been brainwashed for years are exposed to Truth.
We have a racist, evil system of mass brainwashing-—it was aimed at the Blacks and inner cities first-—Margaret Sanger wanted to sterilize or kill all the “human weeds” like Blacks but it wasn’t “legal”. They did the next best thing: Destroy the ability to “think”. Remove that which makes them “human” , above the animal. (Dewey destroyed Classical Education (the only way to be critical thinkers).
O’R is part of the Dialectic-—his “solutions” (Homosexual marriage is not an oxymoron)-—just let the steam out of the valve until we are completely controlled-—in a system which totally controls ALL minds and ALL people in everything- O’R is powerful because the elites ALLOW him to be—as long as he does NOT damage their “AGENDA” for totalitarianism. O’R gets his millions so he can save his family-—but he DOES’T care about YOU and OUR children who will be destroyed-—”happy slaves”
O’R needs to sever his ties with the Saudi sodomites and STAND for TRUTH-—and condemn ALL the tyranny including forcing children to think about sodomy like Afghani children who are ruined and incapable of Virtue when “adults”. It WARPS perceptions, destroys innocence, and DESTROYS Common Sense and ELIMINATES Natural LAW (Logic)-—particularly the irrational concept which destroys our Constitution (Natural Law/God’s Law) like “homosexual” marriage will, which destroys Right Reason and Just Law.
I haven’t been able to watch O’Reilly since he grew that turkey neck.
I clearly remember a brilliant video made by Andrew Breitbart, and at the end he said, “This is war.”
A short time later, he was dead.
This is an article about an irrelevant man, on an irrelevant network, discussing an irrelevant topic.
Does the outcome affect anyone at all?
Reparations for slavery?
When a black woman is one of the richest people in America?
When a black man was Secretary of State??
When a black woman was Secretary of State?
When black men have sat — and do sit — on the Supreme Court??
When a black would-be despot sits in the White House?????
When countless black men have risen to the top of the ranks of the richest in professional sports and show business?? Men like Hank Aaron. And until the recent allegations of sexual misconduct, men like Bill Cosby who, despite his support for Obama, spoke out against the cultural rot and violence among his black brethren causing the race pimps to call him either an Uncle Tom or Oreo Cookie.)
And, how about Liberation Theology?
Liberation from WHAT? The chance to achieve and succeed??
Give me a break!!
Let me make it clear right up front: I am NOT a racist. I supported Herman Cain in his run for the Senate and supported him in his run for the WH. And if Allen West or Dr. Carson (need some clarification of Dr. Carson’s position on the Second Amendment) go for it, they, too, have my support.
I also consider Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams two of the finest economists and minds extant today. In case you don’t know them, both are black.
Sowell, Williams and Cain – among others — have spoken out against those fellow blacks who castigate and vilify America for a slavery now long in our past. And ALL thinking men and women oppose the periodic calls for reparations. (When he ran, I supported Alan Keyes. I even spoke in his stead on the RTKABA at a Capitol rally and was asked to fill in for him on his radio show at the time. Sadly, while I still consider Alan a good man, I have had to rethink my support since he came out FOR reparations.)
The fact is that the modern descendants of slaves brought here in chains in admittedly miserable, soul-gutting conditions now calling for reparations need to remember something:
They should not only be glad to be in America, they should be glad to be ANYWHERE!
Had their ancestors NOT been brought OUT of Africa – many by MUSLIM slave raiders —the blood of those ancestors would have run into the earth over there several centuries ago, victims of the OTHER black tribes that captured them in one of the interminable tribal conflicts STILL ravaging that sad continent and these modern day would-be “plaintiffs” would not even exist.
And I would remind you that slavery is STILL practiced in parts of Africa (mainly by – American BLACK MUSLIMS LISTEN UP!! — MUSLIMS), the Middle East and Asia today. How ironic that disgruntled American blacks are embracing a system that participated mightily in their initial bondage – and would, if Islam takes root here, probably put any who cling to their Christianity back INTO BONDAGE – or to the sword. In fact, as the majority of muslims consider black folks as “sub-human”, many of you black muzzies will get the axe.
95% of the African slaves who were transported across the Atlantic went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions, and that less than 5% of the slaves who crossed the Atlantic went to the United States, it was remarkable that the vast majority of academic research, films, books and articles concerning the slave trade concentrated only on the American involvement, as though slavery was a uniquely American aberration.
And should the great-great-great grandchildren of SLAVE OWNING BLACKS also be subject to PAYING these reparations? If so, how do we find THEM?
And I have traced MY family back to the SLAVS. Although the term looks to be related to “slave,” depending on your source, it either means “glory” or “worshipper.” But my family research indicates that many of my ancestors LIVED lives of virtual or real slavery to some despot or other. Do I qualify for reparations? From whom?? And it begs a question: Are most of us now living here headed into a modern form of that servitude? But that – and the slave history of the Irish, the heritage of both myself and my wife – is a topic for another discussion.
The official US Census of 1830 lists 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves. Furthermore, the story outlines the history of slavery here, and the first slave owner, the Father of American slavery, was Mr Anthony Johnson, of Northampton, Virginia. His slave was John Casor, the first slave for life. Both were black Africans. The story is very readable, and outlines cases of free black women owning their husbands, free black parents selling their children into slavery to white owners, and absentee free black slave owners, who leased their slaves to plantation owners.

Of course, a full telling of Black History would not be complete without a recitation of the origin of slavery in the Virginia colony:
Virginia, Guide to The Old Dominion, WPA Writers’ Program, Oxford University Press, NY, 1940, p. 378
A few more salient points on the subject:Until the US declared independence, the Colonies were REQUIRED by the King of England to embrace slavery.
The Northwest Ordinance (1789) prohibited slavery in federal territories.
A law prohibiting the importation of slaves into the US became effective in 1808.
Beginning in 1820, the Democratic Congress started passing laws allowing and encouraging slavery.
It was only after the Republican Party (many of whom were southern Blacks) was formed some 40 years later that the anti-slavery movement was able to move forward.
And the holier-than-thou Northern liberals are strangely silent on recent archeological evidence from NEW YORK CITY clearly tracing the financing of the slave trade to NORTHERN BUSINESSMEN!!
At the height of his remarkable boxing career, Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay), once declared, “I’m glad my great-grandpa got on that boat.”
And speaking of ancestors, my paternal grandmother’s daddy, William Henry Robinson, joined with the 80th Ohio Volunteer Infantry early in the War Between the States (re-upped twice) and fought on the Union side at Vicksburg, Jackson and elsewhere in the deep South then joined up with Sherman for that infamous march to the sea through Georgia. My wife’s great-great grandpappy ALSO fought for the Union. While I revere the memory of my ancestors, inasmuch as that conflict was less about slavery than it was the economic exploitation and abuse of the South by the North, I fear they MAY have been on the wrong side.
Author Robert Hitt Neill tells of attending a Tennessee Mountain Writer’s Conference years ago with several other authors. Among them was Alex Hailey, celebrated author of “Roots.” Watching a TV news show, a group of them watched a demonstration in a Southern state against the “Rebel” flag incorporated into that state’s flag. The very next report covered a famine in Africa. Graphic images showed dead bodies, starving children with distended tummies and runny noses and dying people covered with flies, too weak to brush them away.
Mr. Hailey intoned in a low, serious voice, “Every time an American black sees a story like that, they should find a Confederate flag and kiss it.” He then pointed to the TV screen and continued, “Because these would be me and my descendants, except for American slavery. I thank God that my family and I are here instead of there.”
Next problem!
