A RACE ABOUT THE RACE

A RACE ABOUT A RACE


So now Obama is accused of being a member of a church where his preacher likes to say outrageous things, like god damn America! And that is racist? Bigoted? Shocking?

Oh come now folks? You and I well know that the people in “Boise” (and the other white places, do we forget that Idaho is the state where the white supremacists run to) did not vote for Obama because he is the most qualified, they voted for Obama for two reasons, one that they hate Hillary and two that against McCain, Obama WILL lose in a nation wide election.

But here is the point, it is not the sermons of Mr. Wright that show racism, or that even now Obama feels compelled to defend his preacher. The black bigotry and racism was already shown when ninety-one percent of blacks voted for Obama, forgetting all of what Hillary and Bill had done for the black community for a lot longer than Obama has been doing.. And also that while Obama has a slogan, he does not have a plan, may be a “road map“, but then we know enough about he “road maps” already.

May be racism in America, as practiced by the whites, is on the decline. But it is the law of percentages at work, that makes the problem look worse than it might be. At a personal level, most whites may not even be racists, but our government and private institutions are as full of corruption, graft, nepotism and quid pro quo, to make even the Hosni Mubbarak of Egypt and the King of Saudi Arabia themselves proud. Our Justice System has no justice and or any system. With the country still being a majority white country, most of the power, money and the positions are still held by the whites so that the common graft, favoritism and nepotism gives it the appearance of racism.

Say for instance the head of a government office or a business hires someone white because they are related or the guy being hired has a cousin who will hire the first guys cousin now it is not being racist, is it, just taking care of ones own, and one’s own kind.

And why not, when I accuse a white of being a bigot or a racist and not being helpful, I must first look at myself. There is an old saying that “you got to learn to crawl before you can walk”.

The difference between a critique and wise counsel is subtle, and mostly dependent on the listener’s mind set and attitude. The black community should know and be worried or happy, depending on their “tude”, that there is a “real white” under class coming, that will be their competition at the bottom also. This time the escape will be to swim to the top. We can not keep complaining about the past, and the slavery and the injustices of Jim Crow and the white upper class. We cannot obtain a recompense that will ever undo the bygones. If we look to a future of peace justice fairness and harmony, we will need to prepare ourselves for that with education and hard work, not complaints and hope for redress. We are all Americans, Not Africanized Americans, a ghetto attitude is counter to making race relations better, how can you have better relations with the whites when you can hardly live with each other amongst your own kind? We must think of ourselves as an American who is born black, not as a American who is born African.

As we look to the next elections, we are a nation of losers, white or black, we know the country is going through tough times. What with the NAFTA, the North American Union, the GATT and the free trade with the slaves in China and elsewhere, we need a leader. The leaders discuss the problem, ask for sacrifices and devise solutions. What we have in the race, as we have had in the White House for the past thirty years, are the pimps, YES PIMPS. The smooth talkers that talk about the bright and shiny things you will get, if you let them control your life.
