>>let's discuss your bigotry. "america's blacks" were
>>robbed and cheated for generations.
>>So? That's like saying, "My dad lost his leg in the
>>war, so I can't walk."
>>
>>Interesting, but there have been seven generations of
>>former slaves and their progeny who maintained their
>>subservient attitudes and relied on others for
>>direction. (They were taken advantage of during their
>>slave years, but there were countless opportunities
>>that they have failed to utilize.)
>>
>>Let's discuss reality. America's Blacks WERE treated
>>unfairly, but a war was fought 140 years ago that
>>insured all races freedom but not equality. A hundred
>>years after the Civil War ended slavery, they were
>>made truly equal by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -
>>Republican supported legislation that outlawed
>>discrimination and established programs to set quotas
>>and insured that Blacks and other minorities got a
>>fair shake. That's right - Republicans proposed and
>>supported the Civil Rights Act and beat the Democrats
>>who were solidly against the law to see that the
>>Blacks got the same rights as everyone else.
>>
>>Soon after, the Democrats launched a campaign to get
>>the Black’s votes by dazzling them with programs,
>>quotas and hand-outs. The Dems have presented
>>themselves as ‘for the people,’ but the people who get
>>their help and assistance are the special interest
>>groups. The poor blacks, who their ‘programs’ are
>>supposed to ‘help’ are no better off today than 100
>>years ago.
>>
>>Because financial support was higher in the North in
>>the 1960s, Liberal do-gooders encouraged countless
>>black families to emigrate to the big cities of the
>>North. (They organized ‘Freedom Buses’ to bring poor,
>>Black, Southern Welfare recipients by the 1000s to
>>NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, etc.)
>>Unfortunately, the people on welfare in the North
>>received more because it cost more to live, so they
>>wound up with the same relative amount to live on each
>>month and had to do it without the gardens that had
>>supplied cheap, fresh produce. They also had to buy
>>winter clothing and pay rent and to get to work
>>instead of tending to the farm they share-cropped and
>>lived on.
>>
>>The final nail in their coffins came when their
>>‘safety net ran afoul of the white man's Welfare
>>system. It demanded that any adult males living in a
>>household that was on Welfare had to be out seeking
>>work or benefits would end. Without jobs to fill, the
>>men were forced out of their family units, so the
>>caseworkers would not find them there when they made
>>'surprise' visits. The men found refuge in the beds,
>>and with the wives of other displaced males and the
>>next impediment to the race's success was born –
>>illegitimacy.
>>This added to the financial burden and created
>>generations of children without a stable father figure
>>as a model.
>>
>>(The whole plan was poorly thought out. The people
>>who were recruited to be bussed north were getting
>>government support payments because they were not
>>working. There was no reason to believe that they
>>would be any more motivated to seek employment in
>>their new environment than they were before. It
>>wasn’t all their fault that they couldn’t find jobs
>>either, because while the Blacks were being told they
>>had to find work, local Democrat politicians in the
>>target cities were recruiting workers from Puerto Rico
>>for businesses in their districts and for their
>votes.)
>>
>>
>>The parallel to the Palestinians is that both groups,
>>in the same general period, failed to progress through
>>nobody's fault but their own. Both opted (through
>>their - often self-proclaimed - 'leaders') to rely
>>upon programs that were self-destructive; both groups
>>failed to take advantage of the opportunities to build
>>their own societies, sacrificed their youth and fought
>>with the very people who had the greatest interest in
>>seeing them succeed: the Palestinians with the
>>Israelis and the Blacks with the rest of America’s
>>society.
>>
>>America's Blacks who have applied themselves have
>>achieved successes that couldn't be imagined 50 years
>>ago. Sadly, there are the others who criticize the
>>first group as being “Uncle Toms’ and too 'white,'
>>that have seen their own lives and opportunities
>>vanish in a cloud of drugs, guns and gangs, while the
>>majority struggle to make ends meet and try to get
>>their children to adulthood. (At least the
>>Palestinians have solace in their religion, which has
>>been interpreted to the belief that they will get
>>great heavenly rewards for dying in service to Allah.
>>ODs and the gang-banged are just dead.)
>>
>>The Palestinians, too, have their model in the
>>successes of Israel, but have chosen to use their
>>resources to try to destroy their neighbor. In both
>>societies, Black & Palestinian, they have been and are
>>willing to sacrifice their children, facing off with
>>the Israeli army or sending them off to die wearing
>>bombs in the Middle East or by condoning their dealing
>>or taking death in the form of drugs and providing
>>protection to an armed criminal element that preys
>>upon their brightest and best (gang-bangers) out of a
>>false sense of camaraderie because the killers are
>>‘brothers.’ Brothers my ASS! It was often said that,
>>“If you are not part of the problem, you are part of
>>the problem.” and that certainly fits here. If you
>>are aware of who the gang-bangers or those who give
>>the kids their explosive vests or who sell poison to
>>your children are and fail to do anything to stop
>>them, you are as guilty as they are and bear
>>responsibility for those who they kill.
>>
>>The problem is NOT the fault of the larger society
>>that they are at odds with, but with their own
>>perspective. They both have to accept that they are
>>NOT going to depose the ruling establishment and gain
>>control of Israel or the US. They are welcome to
>>co-exist. They are encouraged to work hard and
>>achieve success - as equals. Only then will they
>>achieve success.
>>
>>That's R E A L I T Y, not Bigotry.
