NEEDED, FEW ENEMIES, 2008 AND BEYOND
With friends like the leeches attached to minorities beginning with slavery, minorities, especially, America's black minorities need a few enemies for 2008, and beyond. The new year has scarcely begun. Yet, it is a perfect time to stop, review history, as wise men and women from time to time, are wont to do. Individuals wipe the slates clean. Cleaning up individual acts also wipes society's slate clean. America's taken for granted, carefree lifestyle was shaken to its foundation, brought into vivid focus on 9/11/01. This dictated a need to reflect, plan, prepare for a better future. Today, six years later, the pendulum of time and history has moved to the center, but, only momentarily. Individual decisions, regarding America and America's enemies, within and without, that become group action must be made by informed, aroused voters. This is an election year. Concerned citizens' life direction, and role in society are often one and the same. Minorities - often used and abused by politicians - especially, need to pause and reflect on where they are and the future they want for themselves families and communities. This is especially true of America's black minorities. All must become knowledgeable, involved and active in the selection of those selected and trusted to speak for us in America's representative government. Political Correctness almost destroyed America. PC have intruded, almost to the point of embedding, in the life of every American - deciding lifestyles, family values, education, faith and patriotism, even what we can and cannot eat. This is truly a wake-up call !
Prior to 1984, and the breaking of 40 consecutive years of Democratic control of both House of Representatives and Senate, where conditions for Americans of African Ancestry and other poor, uneducated minorities only worsened. Even more alarming is the decline of the Democratic Party into a group of Anti- America Hating Communists / Socialists. Funded and dominated by an elite group, fanatically striving to impose a totalitarian form of government on all America. PC are not content to use the freedom America's way of life provides to enjoy any style of life they choose, but, insidiously, through coercion, bribery or force, PC tries to impose a failed philosophy on all of America. They covertly meet / plan with those who openly pledge to kill all Americans. Seemingly, believing they, the elite traitors will be so appreciative, no harm will come to them. It will be a very short time between terrorists' control and their public beheading. They rig with body bombs, to be detonated, their own infants and small children, not to mention the adolescents they indoctrinate in their madrasahs to become suicide bombers.
To put the benevolent face ( malevolent ) of the Politically Correct Democratic Party in perspective, let's follow both a chronological and historical events timeline :
1840, Democratic Party [re] originated, pro-slavery
1854, Democrats passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, bribe to the south, prelude to the Civil War.
1861 Strong, blustering winds of the gathering storm fanned flames of Civil War .
Americans fought each other.
1863 First Emancipation Proclamation, mostly a military strategy, was signed, freeing
some slaves.
1865 Second Emancipation Proclamation signed. War ended, all slaves freed,
temporarily. Re-enslavement waited in the wings.
1865 Once pampered plantation owners looked around at the ash, rubble and ravaged
land where once their mansions, stood on manicured lawns. Economically,
politically and socially, the South was in total disarray. The defeated confederates
came to the realization they had no home, no skills, nothing. After momentarily
engaging in a pity party they made a decision, got up and set about rebuilding
their lives. They had to learn to cook, clean, clear rubble, and rebuild. Slaves were
- mostly - gone. Once rich, now poor, they found their feet, headed and as the
cliche' goes ... " the rest is history. " However, the newly emancipated
slave was not so lucky, they headed UPNORTH where the shackles around their
ankles were transferred to their minds. Re-enslavement ' VIA ' dependency began.
Within the War Department the Freedmen's Bureau was created to provide food,
clothing and most of all to help the newly freed slave to ' adjust to freedom '
Carpetbaggers, Scalawags and other opportunists got busy. The ' Victims'
everlasting' Pity-Party ' began. Booker T. Washington's " put down your buckets
where you are, the wealth is in the land " was not heard, certainly could not be
adhered to. He advocated independence. Another voice advocating independence,
Frederick Douglas was very much opposed to the establishment of the Freedmen's
Bureau. He saw it a fostering dependence in the newly freed slaves. When
asked " what should be done about the slaves ? His reply was, " nothing, throw
him against himself, let him find his legs " .
1867 Reconstruction Act passed, abolished South's new state government, putting them
under military rule. Re-enslavement in a more subtle form, begun, settled in in
the form of segregation / discrimination. Ignoring the admonishments of Douglas
and Washington, duped, newly - once - emancipated slaves rushed UP- NORTH,
to social justice, equality and economic re-distribution. In their flight to Utopia,
they were encouraged - or forcibly had taken - the skills building and
entrepreneurial skills they brought from Africa.
Pied pipers and Plantation Gate Keepers were already busy laying the prison's
foundation. Today, there is still some difficulty - much more subtle - in getting
into the high-paying Trade Unions, i.e. Electrician, Plumbers, etc. Black slaves
once were responsible for the start of Horse- racing in America. They trained
and rode horses. Today, jockeys become millionaires. But, there are no black
jockeys, nor famous black \ horse trainers, another skill lost, thanks to
Reconstruction's new best friends. Black chefs - soul food originators -are just
beginning to be recognized. Imagine that !
Religion had been the shelter in many storms for Americans of African Ancestry.
The church with its roots in African custom and tradition was once the center of
life - the minister was the patriarch, moral arbiter, source of solace in times of
sorrow or need, one to be listened to and trusted. Then, with the help of a ' few
good best friends' first, during Slavery, later with Reconstruction, a rift appeared
when another dimension was added -politics. The church no longer adhered to its
basic tenets. At the Civil Rights Movement's hijacking juncture,
the church became a pawn in the political power game. For a few dollars and
television appearances, church followers were packaged and delivered to the PC
Democratic Party candidate providing the greatest incentive on the road to the
long sought social justice / economic re-distribution utopia. Generation after
generation lost total independence and passed this defective gene down to
descendants.This break with religious tradition reached its zenith during the
Civil Rights Movement.
1892, Democrats gained control of House, Senate and the White House and repealed all
the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled Southern Democrats to pass
the Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests in their individual states.
1908, summer race riots at Springfield, Illinois, " raged for two days, killed and wounded scores of Negroes, thus giving Mary Ovington and her Socialist group the opportunity to organize a permanent body to be known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ).At a January 1909, meeting in William English Walling's apartment Mary Ovington, Henry Moskowitz, some black ministers and black intellectuals attended and the NAACP was formally launched. As editor for the New York Evening Post, Mary Ovington used her writings to cast a favorable spotlight on DuBois, whom she believed would be useful. At the same time she praised DuBois, she attempted to cast a shadow over Booker T. Washington, who was politically adept to nuance and very much aware of her real intent and duplicity. So, contrary to the erroneous, long perpetuated myth that the NAACP was founded by W. E. B. DuBois, it was founded by white socialists who then sought a black man to front the new organization. In the person of W.E.B. DuBois they found the perfect combination of intellect, rage and malleability, important to the N.A.A.C.P. Hiding behind their masks of compassion, disguised as the down trodden's " new best friends, the new group targeted America's black minorities. Thus, the re-enslavement of black Americans solidified with the formation of the NAACP and its debut involvement in the Scottsboro Boys' case.
DuBois and Washington, two travelers' - study in contrasting philosophy - roads diverged at the fork ( Emancipation ) in the road. One traveler (DuBois) chose the easy path of UP - NORTH utopian delusion - never realizing the light ahead was the barbed wire prison of the Urban Plantation. DuBois, pied piper and his ' talented tenth ' led a multitude of " recently emancipated entitled " UP-NORTH to a concrete ghetto located in an urban prejudicial jungle. The other traveler ( Washington ) chose the rough-hewn path of successful struggle - when it was hard to put one foot in front of the other, a line from a gospel song, " I come this far by faith ' kept him and his followers ' keeping on ' . On the hard road taken, Washington was scorned, ridiculed and called derogatory names ( Uncle Tom ) for advocating ' putting down your buckets where you are ... Telling the newly emancipated slaves " the wealth is in the land " ... Washington, weary from his trials and tribulations along the ' road taken ' finally arrived at success - The Industrial School for Boys that became today's prestigious Tuskeegee Institute. Fortunately, his friend the philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie believed in Washington and funded his dream. Today, DuBois' entitled multitude, still behind the barbed wire ( figuratively speaking ) of the urban plantation, noses pressed against the window pane, longing to be " in ". So everlastingly grateful for scraps falling from their ' master's table, ' New best friends ' PC Democratic Party ". The roads taken / not taken continue to divide Americans of African Ancestry, keeping some in subservient positions - seeking utopia's social justice. The rough road taken rewarded others traveling the more challenging road to a place in American society and a portion of the ' wealth in the land' . Prejudice has more to do with education and economics than skin color.
FDR's 1932, NEW DEAL, designed in part to alleviate the conditions of the Great Depression and in part to bring the Democratic Party back to power also gave birth to ENTITLEMENTS. Actually, the New Deal legislation made it harder, not easier for Americans of African Ancestry to enter the urban industrial economy. Unions were able to legally exclude, blacks - their most ardent supporters, today. Entitlements displaced character, self-respect, a work ethic and sense of personal responsibility . Poor Americans of African Ancestry families' encouraged dependency sank them and succeeding generations deeper into poverty, ignorance, crime and hopelessness.
Following the birth of entitlements, we come to the TRAGEDY OF THE WELFARE PRISON. The " gimme " attitude stifled the incentive and initiatives of too many young black minds. Opportunistic, left-leaning liberal politically correct operatives always trolling for unfortunate circumstances to exploit, found a gold mine. Those Americans of African Ancestry, following the W.E.B. DuBois " Talented Tenth " socialist / social climbing model, espoused by the urban gatekeepers under the guise of ' reparations' extorted money again and again from " once " conscience stricken whites for their ancestors ' sins of slavery proved fertile ground and making the most of opportunity became the goal of entitlement. Thus, the PC crowd sought to graft their political philosophy on to America - an exercise in futility. Social Security and Disability payments are sought, expected and even demanded with impunity.
The 1954 Supreme Court Decision opened a Pandora's Box. Like Charles Dicken's Tale of Two Cities , " It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ". For Americans of African Ancestry laboring under the yoke of discrimination and segregation in every aspect of their lives, it was indeed, the best of times. For the sexual depravity, moral degradation, refusal to accept personal responsibility, the turbulence, upheaval, the erosion of America's social institutions and mores' the Court Decision heralded, it was the worst of times.
With the ' box ' opened, Rosa Parks was tired and her feet hurt. So, ignoring the South's segregation law, she sat in the front of the bus and got arrested. Her arrest began the Alabama Bus Boycott that mushroomed into the Civil Rights' Movement. As always, important activities in the black community are anchored in the black church. Martin King, Jr., newly ordained, recently hired, was put on a collision with fate and circumstances. His leadership, sudden, gained momentum through the bus boycott. The programs and course of events that were to eventually disintegrate the black family and destroy its communities were first viewed as social engineering for a worthy cause. Thus, the Civil Rights Movement organized, financed and supported by the church would be hijacked. Harris Woffort, white Alabama aristocrat, first white to enroll at Howard University Law School, struggled to get Martin Luther King's attention. Then, convinced MLK to go to India, and the Libby Holman Reynolds Foundation to finance the trip. MLK became a celebrity with anointed and self-appointed handlers.
America, in an attempt to atone for the era of slavery, bought into the politically correct boondoggle. ( Some segments of Americans of African Ancestry still strive for the promised equality PC ( fallaciously ) advocates ) Realization has taken a long time and much damage has been done. America is now, painfully aware of the destruction - from the inside - under the guise of equality of a wronged people and the classless society remedy. The race and class card have been played for decades to hide the real intent - destruction of America as a beacon of hope, freedom, in the greatest nation on earth.
Seizing the compassion and momentum of the guilt movements, Democratic Party, its sub-divisions - liberals, socialists, political opportunists, poverty pimps labor unions got busy. Not to be out maneuvered, Bayard Rustin introduced his friend, Stanley Levison, socialist, leftist radical from New York, and Ben Davis, of Morehouse University, Atlanta, Georgia, a powerful United States Communist. They too became part of the King entourage. MLK was now a communist influenced man of God. As with Reconstruction's Freedman's bureau, What began as a noble and worthy experiment to right long-standing wrongs, became a hoax. MLK and Americans of African Ancestry lost control of the Civil Rights Movement. It, like Reconstruction became a hoax. PC Democrats' " New Best Friend " of Black Americans have a very Long History of Deception.
BLACK POWER hyped as the solution to economic deprivation and political disenfranchisement was a joke. White power brokers were always ten steps ahead and positioned to penetrate the movements. Through offers of ' help ' the Ford Foundation ' positioned itself to play a vanguard role in shaping and manipulating the militants. Other Corporations began to court and pander to manageable black bourgeois. Promising to help achieve ' equality ', their guidance played a role and they became most important, adept at manipulating the black power militants. Their agenda would remain hidden for years. The 250,000 march on Washington to shut the city down until blacks were granted full equality, actually became a love-in summer picnic held in honor of John F. Kennedy. The I Have A Dream speech hid this fact. All this was made possible with the help of the Democratic Party's liberal labor coalitions. Community Action Programs, Churches and Political campaigns, calculated means of keeping control got funded so long as the minority was delivered en-masse, Thus, black foot soldiers in the community got busy. The more difficult the sell. the more urgent the call, the faster the feet moved and, political ' walking around ' money flowed. There was a conspiracy to create the illusion of power. The wearing of dashikis , dreadlocks or huge FRO and emphasis on skin color - symbols, rather than substance disguised, distorted the impotence of the activists, anointed / appointed urban plantation gate keepers and race hustlers - a means of indoctrinating future jihadists.
DEVASTATION OF SOCIAL EXPERIMENTATION
Following this thread of history, we come to the TRAGEDY OF THE WELFARE PRISON. The " gimme " attitude stifled the incentive and initiatives of too many young minds. Opportunistic, left-leaning liberal politically correct operatives always trolling for unfortunate circumstances to exploit, found a gold mine. Those Americans of African Ancestry, following the W.E.B. DuBois " Talented Tenth " socialist / social climbing model, espoused by the urban gatekeepers under the guise of ' reparations' attempted to extort money again and again from " once " conscience stricken whites for their ancestors ' sins of slavery have proven fertile ground. Fortunately, for the rest of us, they seemed to have dealt with their guilt and gotten over it. Time turned the merciless, unblinking spotlight of truth on the failure of black leadership. PC Democrats' controlled leadership has been an anvil forging the shackles and transferring them from the ankles to the mind 'via' dependence. The Urban Plantation Gatekeepers equated the era of slavery with the refusal of American society to accept homosexual deviant, abhorrent lifestyle as normal. The concept of 40 acres and a mule and the dream of wealth distribution did not work either.
1965 - 1994, "WAR ON POVERTY - the advent of social engineering ! A series of Manpower Programs were developed with the goal of improving the disadvantaged workers lack of skills - as a noble and worthy experiment to level the playing field stretched into a fifty year boondoggle, an enrichment politically and economically for the politically correct, gatekeepers. Attitudes changed. Crime became chic. It was better to accept welfare than to do laundry. Along with the War on Poverty, there was also a war on shame, personal responsibility was forsaken and social justice required an end to any scrutiny of behavior. The National Council of Churches led the cheerleading for a lifetime of entitlements. All roads to ruin in Black Americans' lives lead back to Washington. According to records, poverty programs cost taxpayers $5.4 trillion ( 77 different welfare programs. The six most common are : Aid to Families with Dependent Children; Food Stamps, Medicaid; Housing, Nutrition Assistance and Energy Assistance ) The poor got poorer, while political activists, poverty parasites, bureaucrats, vendors who planned, implemented and evaluated social programs, funded through government contracts got richer. Paternalism, the insidious, flip side of overt racism masqueraded as compassion. The do-gooders' web of dependence snared Americans of African Ancestry' in eternal indebtedness and fear of leaving the " plantation" Poverty became a multi-billion dollar industry with an assured 99% of the black votes for the Democrats in perpetuity.
Manpower Programs ( political patronage troughs ), stated goal improving disadvantaged workers' lack of skills. Tuition stipends ( for the first time, people were paid to do nothing ) Economic Opportunity Act, Food Stamps, Medicare, Medicaid , CETA , Social Security Title IV Grants to states to provide monies for Aids and Services to Needy Families With Children and Child Welfare Services. Trillions of dollars were spent training perpetual ( finish one program, enroll in another - no job sought ) students for obsolete or nonexistent jobs. 50 years later, hardcore disadvantaged have even fewer job skills and even less ambition to try to succeed. Entitlements destroyed initiative. The series of events unleashed with the opening of Pandora's Box rivals the devastation of the Dutch Man ' O ' War Ship that put ashore the first 21 slaves in exchange for ' vittles and rum. The struggle to maintain the status quo has been fierce. PC Democrat dominated Federal Government used this opportunity to intrude into the personal life of American citizens to an extent unimaginable. The foundation was being carefully laid for the PC hoped for totalitarian America. This was not to be. In 2007, the PC Socialist agenda for the first time showed signs of visibly unraveling.
• Open War on Religion - Madalyn Murray O'Hare best known as plaintiff in historic Murray v Curlett in 1963, U.S. Supreme Court struck down prayer and bible reading in public schools. This began a downward spiral of moral decline in American society. Moral Decline Accelerated. Along with the 'War on Religion, there was also a war on Poverty" ( Poverty won ). A sexual revolution and war on shame joined the fray ( shame, unlike poverty, lost ). There were no limits on bad behavior. NAMBLA openly trolls for little boys. Gays sue for inclusion in the Boy Scouts. Crime Becomes Chic - social justice required an end to any scrutiny of behavior. There was nothing so reprehensible that could not be explained away and excused in the name of absent father, low esteem or racial discrimination. " Long Hot Summer " were code words inciting wanton destruction of property and the taking of human life - violence, lawlessness sanctioned by political correctness.. Drug Culture Reigned, and still does. Murderers' and Drug Dealers take the lives of others in a wanton and cavalier manner, then have their worthless lives plea bargained free by some PC lawyer appearing before a PC judge. All the left wing politically correct radicals who did not die from a heroin overdose or aids became tenured professors in schools and colleges or sit on judicial benches with lifetime appointments. Drug related crimes continue to devastate the black communities. Drug Programs provide employment for those who work with the drug addict. The real goal is not to end drug usage but to keep the addict dependent, but manageable. Drugs tear apart the fabric of neighborhoods. Drug rehabilitation Programs actually encourage and increase drug usage. Today, youth-filled prisons, sexual deviants ( pedophiles, sexual sadists and serial killers ) give not so mute testimony to the devastation unleashed with the opening of Pandora's Box.
•
Affirmative Action - left wing politically correct way of telling Americans of African Ancestry, " you're inferior and I will never let you forget it ! " Sensitivity Workshops were funded and mandated to drive the message home. Affirmative Action, like the mother who sticks a pacifier into her crying baby's mouth, stops the crying but does nothing for the underlying cause - hunger. Affirmative Action creates the illusion of help, while the needs of the masses go unmet and worsening. This does not begin to deal with the group conflict created by the ' reverse discrimination ' among America's magnificent mosaic.
EDUCATION - Under the PC and unions guise, indoctrination was substituted for education. KINDERGARDEN CHILDREN are taught about HIV / AIDS, a sexually transmitted disease ( Why ? ). SPECIAL ED -. PC loves labels, especially " special " translates in to mega Federal dollars that gush forever. Drugs, first used to energize, then to calm children so labeled. No one ever learns to " cope " . There is always a drug, an excuse or someone to blame. Small children can play with anatomically correct dolls, but not an Easter Bunny. Students in high schools, as part of extra-curricula activities, can have a Satanic or Wiccan organization or Gay Organization, but not a Bible club. Children can sing rap songs with vile, obscene gestures and violent lyrics , but not a song that mentions, Jesus or allegiance to the American flag. PC assigned black minorities to Affirmative Action Prisons and Hispanic minorities to Bilingual Prisons. Elite PC spent years " dumbing " down public education but sent their children to private schools or home schooled them. So did the Poverty / Pimps and Plantation Gatekeepers.
On March 28, 1968, Richard M. Nixon, Republican - voice in the wilderness - first publicly broached the concept of Black Capitalism into the public spotlight when he told a Milwaukee group that the country must give black people a better share of economic and political power or risk permanent social turbulence.
" ... I speak not of black power as some of the extremists
would interpret it - not the power of hate and division, not the
power of cynical racism, but the power the people should have
over their destinies, the power to affect their own communities,
the power that comes from participation in the political and economic
processes of society... Welfare payments perpetuate poverty, and
keep the endless, dismal cycle of dependency spinning from generation
to generation create a permanent caste of the dependent, a colony
within a nation -p230 ... No one listened ! The clangs and cymbals of
the ' pity party of everlasting dependence drowned out all the warning
voices of the pitfalls, just ahead.
1/22/73, Roe - vs - Wade, Devastation of Black Family resulted in millions of black babies being aborted. Immorality, lack of respect for self, pre-marital and extra-marital, multi pregnancies by single women with government regulations and section 8 housing supplements to allow ease of living.
On the afternoon of June 27, 1991, Bush 41 nominated Clarence Thomas, a conservative black, to replace the retiring Thurgood Marshall. Clarence Thomas accepted the nomination on July 1, 199, at the Kennebunkport, Maine, summer home of Bush 41, providing the first ' crack in the black monolithic facade. ' Reeling from the explosion, a small army of politically correct personal destruction demolition experts got busy. Goal ? Destruction of the nomination of the conservative black, judge, Clarence Thomas to the United States Supreme Court. They loaded their cannon with their most powerful ammunition- they thought ( an old trick, revised ) a black woman, Anita Hill was dragged, ( most reluctantly, to accuse the judge of sexual harassment . Republicans circled the wagons, the world, for the first time, got to see professional, well educated black Americans - PD. D's and Entrepreneurs and Lawyers on television in support of Judge Thomas - not the usual criminals and welfare moms usually PC usually portrayed. On October 18, 1991, a magnificently sunny day, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took the oath of office ... then paraphrased Psalm 30
I will exalt thee, O Lord
because you have lifted me up
and have not let my enemies
triumph over me ...
November 7, 2006 election, was another, maybe, most important America wake up call. PC Democrats were voted into Congress's majority. But in the elite, anti- America getting - what they thought was absolute power, the average, freedom-loving American citizens won! In winning the election and thinking they could welcome terrorists, restore corrupt, failing, fading, unions to power, they revealed themselves ( inept / incompetent, capable only of creating conflict and chaos ) and their true motives, socialism / totalitarian govt. Better than any opposition party ever could, the win and resultant power grabs and stomping on the Constitution, ripped the rose-colored glasses off the voters, informed and aroused them in a way all other warning shouts had failed. The PC actually lost. America's wake up signaled the beginning of the end for Politically Correctness. REPUBLICANS - too liberal -too cowardly, too arrogant with power -too prone to over spending and extending an already too big, too intrusive government - into the lives of the average American citizen - lost the mid-term elections, but sparked the rebirth of citizen power and involvement. To those - terrorists, anti-America, Politically Correct Democrats and RINO who fought so valiantly to lose the majority their fellow citizens entrusted to them, will be evicted from government by the impending, long over-due Congressional and State Department - imbedded terrorists' moles - regime change.
Today, this first day of 2008, offers a time of reflection. Experience, the catastrophe of 9/11/01 and world turmoil should snatch off the rose-colored glasses, put the brakes on generational denial and allow for some inner introspection.
