President Obama would have you believe that Americans of Color are better off today than they were before his presidency! He thinks that race relations are better off today thanks to his presidency. Not only do I completely reject this outright, I actually dwell on the state of the black population in America today versus pre-civil war days. Already I can hear the race baiting poverty pimps that aspire to be like Al Sharpton calling me a racist and that I can't possibly talk about the state of People of Color in America today because Im white and I sure as hell better not be trying to talk about Pre-Civil War Blacks! However many the criticisms against having this discussion, it MUST be had! But how could anyone think for even a nano-second that Black people are worse off today than when they were enslaved pre-1865? How could anyone even conceive the notion that black people may have been better off during their enslavement?
In order to begin answering these questions, one must be willing to entertain the notion that Black People in America today are by far and large being put at a disadvantage by those that they perceive to be protecting them! That enslaved blacks struggled to be individuals and be free but their spirits were much better off than today!
But how could anyone think for even a nano-second that Black people are worse off today than when they were enslaved pre-1865? Just look at every segment of our society that is concentrated with black people. These are areas where crime is high, the economy is low. Households are broken. Young are raised by far and large by single parents or other relatives due to one or both parents in jail or worse, dead! We have a justice system that is inherently biased against blacks for the pure and simple fact that its just easier for police to catch criminals in the inner cities. Its just easier for the impoverished black person to be hauled into court and be convicted only having a public defender as a defense. The liberal leadership in these communities are constantly casting a massive shadow of doubt and despair among the people with their cries of racism and police corruption and that they walk around with targets on their back. That Big Government is the only way that they wont be killed or end up starving and homeless. They are given a dumbed down education in order for the state to give off the appearance that they are educating these at risk teens. They get out in the real world more than likely already having experience committing crimes. They are more likely than not forced to check off that box that says Im a convicted felon for having the misfortune of being caught with drugs or caught with someone else that had drugs. They are coddled and told they are victims all their lives and to always run to the government at the very first sign of perceived injustice. They are taught that Affirmative Action was enacted as a form of reparation for the enslavement of their ancestors which they never knew nor personally experienced. They are raised in a public education system to hate the white man for enslavement in America even though sufficient evidence suggests that the very first slave owner in the 1600s was a black man himself. Our government welfare system is rigged to keep families apart. More help and more money and more benefits go to those single mothers who have multiple kids. Even our IRS contributes to this by granting larger tax incentives to those who file as if they are separated. Even as we have our first black (ok half black) president in Barack Obama, a Black Attorney General Eric Holder, Susan Rice, etc. even as black people are at the top talent in our sports of Football, Basketball, even as Rap and R&B have made many black Americans wealthy beyond comprehension, they are still told that America is a racist country and that they need to continue supporting Big Government in order for them to come closer to "equality".
How could anyone even conceive the notion that black people may have been better off during their enslavement? Yes they were enslaved! Yes many were beaten! Yes many died as a result of their inhumane treatment! Yes they were denied basic human rights! However, no matter what the slave masters did, those slaves held on to their spirit. They held on tight to their families. They held on to their dreams of freedom. They held on to independence and individuality. They held on to their dignity. Those that were fortunate to escape, craved an education. They craved owning land. They craved earning a living of their own. Cow towing to their masters was more of an exception rather than the rule. Can people honestly say these things about most of the black population today?
This discussion must take place, not only in the realm of blogs, not only in politics, but in our own homes! We must become comfortable talking about race and how minorities are being taken for a ride and how their entire lives are devolving right before their eyes as they are being swallowed whole surrounded by all the empty promises of Big Government. Join me in restoring the spirit that the slaves of our past had, in restoring the desire for independence, for freedom, for FAMILY!
