This looks like a good place to try out my new tag line.

...as long as we think we're owed we're going nowhere."

That's true about all of us in many different relations, including our relationship with God.

"...you do not win the weak by sharing your wealth with them; it will but infect them with greed and resentment. You can win the weak only by sharing your pride, hope or hatred with them."

Wise words from Eric Hoffer.

As a wise old friend of mine used to say: "Why does he hate me -- I never gave him charity". When you give someone charity, you automatically set him inferior, and you disrespect him. He takes the charity, but he resents you for it.

“We’re owed and they aren’t.” Obama

Obama has never been owned, the only thing Obama is slavery too, is his racist views of the world.

This one needs to be shouted from the mountain tops: “Obama (whose ancestors were not slaves...) thinks HE and ALL BLACKS are owed something at the expense of people who never owned slaves.”
But wait until he wins the Democrat nomination...

I think that your excerpt is very misleading, these are not the words of Obama, just a black man that the author had struck up a conversation with.

The rest of the article is is well worth reading.

Thank you Democrat President Lyndon B Johnson for so dynamically enabling the ‘we are owed’ mentality in everyone who will not summon up the moxy to try to improve themselves. As a parent, I would never say ‘They owe you’ to my kids. Usually I am saying ‘Get your nose in that book’ or ‘Practice, practice, practice ...’.

Maybe it all started before LBJ but that is as far back as I think I remember ...

This article is a powerful indictment of what most have observed over our lifetimes. PC forbids discussion, however.

This is a GREAT essay- and the writer illustrates on so many levels how the victim mentality has poisoned the thinking of some black Americans.

How many generations will pass before it’s clear to them that being “owed” is nothing but slavery in a new guise?

If you haven’t read the entire article, you owe yourself a treat to do so. It is very telling.

"We're owed and they aren't."

Owned by whom --> Democrats??? Have they sold themselves to the Democrats in exchange for 50+ years of welfare, social programs, affirmative action? Is that what they think.

To all Blacks who think they're * owned * You're NOT. Even if Black leadership aka ministers have told you you're owned.

Asians have made it in this country because they worked hard. Hispanics from Mexico, Central, and South America are in the process of making it because many are working 2 or 3 jobs.

Blacks need to cut loose that * can't do * attitude and prejudice against those who make through hard work or you'll forever be left out of the main stream. No one is holding you down. You're holding yourselves down.

Disclaimer... that goes out to the people with attitudes. I recognize and admire the many, many Blacks who worked hard and made it...

The Vietnamese escaped to freedom and Blacks of Obamas ilk run from it. Ironic ain’t it? Free and don’t know it.
