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. It's time the black community takes responsibility
for their situation! 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. That idiot preacher 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 of tax dollars 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. The liberal
Democrats did this and caused the dissolution of the black family unit.
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?
See the data!
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.
