And these people, and their allies, seek to empower Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton (and give speeches every Sun. in A-A churches), while condemning any Christians who vote for George W. bush.

So what about those SO-CALLED Christians who vote for george bush, and continuously perpetuate racial superiority to their children, maintain segregated schools and communities and live lives in complete disregard to the circumstances going on in areas of the country torn apart by poverty, lack of economic infrastructure, etc. etc. etc., all while maintaining the idea that somehow all of these problems happened out of nowhere? Do these people not exist in your head? I seriously want to know where YOU think those people have gone and if you even recognize that they exist and have power in this country?
Do you actually sit there and try to deny the REALITY staring you in the face that the overwhelming majority of wealth in this country is concentrated among white people, the overwhelming majority of major business and corporation ceo's are dispersed among white men, that the overwhelming majority or government officials in this country are white men? Where does the power structure in this country lie in YOUR mind? Why would any of the wealth and power in America just be conveyed to a minority group who never had it to begin with? That would simply go against man's natural tendencies. So, if that is the case, why is it SO hard for you to understand that when people seek retribution in the form of infrastructure (better communities, business incentives, etc.) education(better schools, higher paid teachers, etc.) and other services (finally giving the loan approvals and interest rates denied to the parents and ancestors of those living in poor housing today when other groups were offered them) from a government who PUT them in that position to begin with?
This is the problem with you, hoosier, and those who think like you. You are so blinded by your animosity toward Black people, that you cannot even think logically about why we feel the way that we do and seek the things that we seek. That ignorance leads to you make broad accusatory statements like the ones above that are based on nothing more than your inherent sence of racial hostility. Every post you make dealing with race smacks of anger obviously because you are not a part of the group that is to benefit from the badly needed reforms of the social structure in this country. If the tables were turned, you would be an advocate of the same things.But since the tables are not turned, and you cannot identity with me or anyone else in this particular group, you really should refrain from making your judgments. I have my conflicts with some things that those men you mentioned say but in general, I will always respect BOTH of them because they have seen and experienced things in their lifetimes that I didn't have to and because of their strength, boldness and resolve I am protected to a great deal from the evils of what it has been shown that this country CAN/could have do/done to me. So, if you don't understant that, that is YOUR problem and you need to work on that. |
