Barack says we need to have a conversation about
race in America .. Fair enough. But
this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be
heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs
to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are
these:
First, America has
been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000
black people, brought from Africa in
slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to
Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and
prosperity blacks have ever known.. Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on
his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people
anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold
trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent
supplements, Section 8
housing, Pell grants,
student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and
poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the
mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in
discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract
set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white
applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals
all over America have donated their
time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care,
retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where
is the gratitude??
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity'
for blacks. Let him go
to Altoona ?
And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in
Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters
handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is
white America really responsible for
the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are
seven times those of white America ?
Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in
the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout
rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is
that the fault of white America or,
first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for
racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially
interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white
criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals
choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that
black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that
black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years
of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard
ad nauseam from the Rev.
Al
about Tawana Brawley,
the Duke rape case and Jena . And all
turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on
whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us
have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs
to
hear!!!
