ALMOST? Oh, now THAT is rich..!
Decrying offensive behavior such a well-entrenched INDUSTRY that it has created a GRIEVANCE ELITE.
The African-Americans "warn" others specifically out of a fear they'll be passed and made to LOOK BAD. Ergo they indoctrinate the newer, more upwardly-mobile arrivals with their destructive bile.
I can’t speak to the south, but my Dad (RIP) went to school with a lot of black kids in Cleveland in the 20s and 30s. He said racial “friction” really didn’t blossom until the 60s.
The “War on Poverty” destroyed the black family structure making them dependents of the Democrat party and the rest is history.
One of my twitter friends is a young lady from Nigeria who immigrated as a toddler with her parents. She and her family are not at all typical of American blacks.
“We simply cannot move on from a past we ourselves perpetuate.”
Pithy and brilliant.
The War on Poerty destroyed the black family.
And bussing destroyed public education.
We're living with the consequences today.
That's because they come to America for the same reason other immigrants come to our country, and can see the opportunities.
2005, I met a black man from Kenya who drove a taxi for a living. Since I took a taxi nearly everyday, I recognized a quality person and took his card and used him exclusively.
If you don’t know about cab drivers, they have to buy very expensive medallions to operate, or they virtual slaves to the Somalia Taxi pirates in San Diego who own the medallions then rent the cab for 50% of the take. The cab driver pays for the gas.
2008, this man owned 3 limousines and ran a small livery business with his brothers.
Once he said Black on Black racism is more bitter than White on Black Racism.
I’m sure it had something to do with the American-African-Americans attitudes towards the African-African-Americans.
I have a good friend, a black man in his 80s who grew up in the South. He says the opposite, he says the people crying racism need to get over it, as he says, it ain’t happening.
Nothing Obama and his kind want more than Americans fixated on race.
I refuse to play.
In the USA failure is a well paying career move for many blacks. And you never have to take responsibilty for anything. In the Caribbean if you don’t work, you don’t eat. Failure is not rewarded. The Caribbean had the most brutal and horrible conditions for slavery. They moved on.
Unfortunately, blacks today are the real racists. They’ve learned racial hatred from the Jesse Jacksons & Al Sharptons & it’s going to take a lot to make them look at the mote in their own eye. A first black president might have been the man to do it & initiate forgiveness between the races. Too bad Obama has the same problem.
Thank you for posting this. Carver, too easily forgotten these days, was a great man. And of course a great scientist and innovator as well.
There’s a small contingent of West Africans in Albuquerque, and I shopped at a supermarket in their area. They were uniformly cheerful, polite, and very happy to be in America.
Makes no difference who you are, if you are determined to be offended, you will be! Prejudice is a two-edged sword and it will cut you. As an Army Brat, I grew up in the desegregated military and my Dad ensured that as a child I said yes sir and yes ma’am regardless of anything else. I deeply desire Dr King’s Dream, where all are judged upon character, not skin, sex, sex-orientation, religion or ethnicity.
Are there a**holes of all kinds, you bet! And I want the free privilege of treating them as such without government deciding that a privileged class needs protection against the same!
“One of my twitter friends is a young lady from Nigeria who immigrated as a toddler with her parents. She and her family are not at all typical of American blacks.”
My youngest daughter babysits for a family of Nigerian immigrants. They have beautiful manners.
I worked with a couple of Jamaicans who were just off the boat and were helping mom and dad set up a Jamaican restaurant. Both of them asked me what in the world was wrong with American blacks. The Jamaicans had a "How long has this been going on?" attitude and couldn't believe the others didn't seize all the advantages they saw.
The irony is that most white folks buy into Dr. King’s dream, but it cannot be implemented because the rat party (headed by a black male) keeps blacks chained to the past for political gain.
