WHO ARE THE REAL RACIST IN AMERICA?

WHO ARE THE REAL RACIST IN AMERICA? I’ve been enthralled at the comments posted about Barak Obama’s speech regarding racism in America. They’ve ranged from apathetic to complete denial of the issue at hand. I thought the speech was profound and significant in a number of ways. First and foremost, Obama must be applauded for the truth he spoke. It’s not easy for a politician, any politician, to speak candidly about any subject, let alone one as explosive as racism and I think Obama spoke candidly about SOME of the important aspects racism in America today. The problem is the dialogue has to go much deeper and be much more honest and candid if true racial healing can begin. Racism is perpetuated by modern society. It is learned. We are not born racist. Have you ever seen little babies play together? They might recognize that something is different, but they don’t look at each other as inherently better or worse, just different, until they are taught to do so! Until their parents or family members teaches them to hate the difference. Until they start watching TV or reading books that teach them to hate. You see racism comes down to people. That phrase “institutional racism” is hogwash! People are the agents racial divide and only people can hate. So if you want to start having a real discussion about race in America, you’ve got to start talking about people. So who are the real racists in America? Maybe the better question to ask is, who is causing the most racial strife in America? THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: The most skilled white supremist organization in America today is the Democratic party. The Democrats are run by a bunch of rich white men who have, for nearly 40 years, convinced black America that that they have their best interest at heart. And 40 years after the civil rights movement, and 40 years after Martin Luther King’s dream was voiced, and for 40 long years of bussing, affirmative action and all the social experiments, the black welfare state has grown exponetially, prisons have become overcrowded with black men, much of black America is still in poverty and the ruling elite of the Democrats are still rich white men! THE KKK SHOULD BE TAKING NOTES! THE RACE INDUSTRY: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP, SCLC and a host of other individuals and organizations thrive on racism. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a number of black leaders have made careers out of racism. They preach it, they teach it and they call attention to it’s most inconsequential forms because it’s good for their pocket book. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT A KKK RALLEY? CAN YOU NAME A WHITE SUPREMICST LEADER, ANYBODY, WHO HAS AS MUCH NATIONAL RECOGNITION, CLOUT AND RESPECT AS JESSE JACKSON OR AL SHARPTON? Who are they doing battle with? THE BLACK CHURCH: White America has seen what goes on in, not all, but in many black churches all across America. Rev. Wright’s “sermon” of hate for America is not the isolated rants of one man. Recent studies show that the majority of black American’s beleive that AIDS was created by the government. A sitting, senior black elected leader, Maxine Waters, believes and tells her constituants that crack cocaine was created by the CIA and that the CIA helps distribute it and keep it flourishing in the the black community. People, the fox is in the hen house! Racism is being perpetuated by the very people and institutions that benefit from it’s existence. Now I am not so stupid as to think that we can wipe out racism. There will always be hate and evil in this world, but we have eliminated, ELIMINATED, institutional racism. There is no law, in existence anywhere that prevents a black man from receiving the same opportunities as a white man. Racism that does exist, exists in the hearts and minds of the haters and the hated. Barak Obama is proof. He stands a reasonable chance of becoming the most powerful leader on the planet. What else is there? Economic equality? The same opportunity is there for all. To be sure, there is some catch up that has to be made for black families who cannot benefit from generations of acquired wealth. But that is a red herring! My father left me no wealth, no home, no land, no business. Does that make me a victim? Does that prevent me from building my own wealth, owning my own home? No! I applaude Obama for making a bold speech but he is part of the problem. As my friend Zack pointed out to me in a recent email his favorite quote from Obama recently is “My friends we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you will join with me as we try to change it.” The irony is thick enough to spread with a knife but it’s typical of the mind set of liberals like Obama, Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, Clinton, The Democrats and the liberal elite. Their power comes from the idea of oppression. If oppression is defeated, conservatism wins.
