Obama's America: Why Black Grievance Will Never End
http://www.americanthinker.com ^ | April 11, 2012 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 04/11/2012 4:42:08 AM PDT by BO Stinkss

When I was 12 years old, I used to play tennis at a certain public park in the Bronx. One day it got back to me that a black fellow at the courts, whose name I forget, said, "Selwyn doesn't like black people." This raised my eyebrows. You see, I had never really thought about the man one way or the other. And what occupied my mind were forehands, backhands, topspin, and volleys, not race. So the only thing I could figure was that I was probably in a funk one day and didn't hear and acknowledge a greeting he might have extended. Whatever the perceived slight, race was a factor. After all, imagine the reaction if he had been white. At worst, he might have thought, "Selwyn is a self-absorbed brat," which would have been closer to the truth. Or he might just have concluded that I was having a bad day (I was an aspiring player at the time but, lamentably, had a lot of bad days). Instead, he saw bad intentions where none existed.

I think the big difference is that back in the 50s, 60s and 70s and early 80s, the black family was still intact. Yes, racism was a factor, yes, blacks were poor but mom and dad kept things in check.

Now with the explosion of single, female led black households you are starting to see the negative affects. I always argue with women that with a few exceptions, women cannot raise boys.

While the article applies to race it also applies to the politics of many Dems who see economic oppression everywhere while on the public dole. They refuse to see economic reality or discuss public policy in a rational way. I’ve had this discussion with people who are all white but refuse to believe what is clear and in front of their face. And yes, they voted for Obama.

Remember that a “civilized” advanced nation such as Germany fell for the evil of Hitler. These were 100% white people who we now see as delusional to believe his crazy ideas. I continue to marvel at the archival footage showing what they did to their fellow citizens and peoples that they conquered. To this day I don’t understand it.

I’m white. I was never a racist because I thought it was just plain dumb and made no sense. But this isn’t really about race. It’s about irrationality and that afflicts all of mankind. I don’t think we will ever be rid of it. The best we can hope for in the short run is to be rid of the would be tyrant in the White House. That’s the clear and present danger that I see.

You are right. Obama should have arrested the Black Panther leaders who issued terroristic threats against Zimmerman and the non-black community. He also should call for Jackson and Sharpton to go home and for people to allow the investigation to proceed peaceably.

That isn’t what he wants. He wants war and blood in the streets. We have to vote this man out in November.

Every culture has its problems. The Chinese have criminal organizations, a ruthlesss government. The Mexicans have gangs and corruption.

Teaching forgiveness and Christ and using the rule of fair law and not backing down to thugs is the only way for some peace in our life times.

On average, blacks in our country have it - for now - better than blacks in any country on earth. I have had black friends come here with nothing, work hard and become successful. The grievances and unforgiving attitudes hold so many black and whites down. It ruins their lives.

When integration and acclimation does not occur, there's nothing left but a clash of cultures. Like all others who have made their home in America, isolated ethnic groups are expected to make an effort to integrate. While the narrative of each community is different, the expected results is the same.

There's is an active socialist movement promoting a divide and conquer strategy against Americans and American culture. Those who are fooled by the socialists will suffer for it. Some people are smart enough to see through what the left is trying to do. Most aren't...

Abstract thought. I think the majority of Dems lack the ability to think abstractly. There are exceptions on the left like George Soros who uses his intellect for evil and to manipulate the masses. The Democrat leaders tell their voters how smart they are. They stroke their egos and the voters become confused.

They don’t understand the leaders economics, but like the subjects who refused to see the emperor had no clothes, they puff up their chins and claim to understand.

"And those that do “think for themselves” or reason as you have said, have to be very careful not to be viewed as “sell-outs”.

So easy to throw that line out ... "sell outs" to disparage opposing opinion to the 'party line'. That's what liberal blacks say about conservative blacks.

Well that is the sad but true facts on why conservative blacks are so hated by liberal blacks, the conservative blacks.

In truth, slave-descendant black America is dying out.

This is concealed in demographics by the today much greater immigration from Africa. But many African blacks are here to be industrious and succeed, and neither want nor are willing to embrace the cultural baggage of SD blacks.

There is an extraordinary combination of self-destructive factors causing this voluntary extinction of SD blacks. To begin with is the loss of the nuclear family, which is universally essential to human development and success.

A 70% illegitimacy rate is catastrophic to a people, and now it has been statistically proven that children of single parents have a high probability of becoming criminals. A self-inflicted disaster.

Add to this a horrifically high homicide rate among black teenagers and adults. And to the extensive use of long term birth control by black women. And abortion, which in NYC alone is now resulting in the death of between 30,000-38,000 black babies every year.

And those who are criminal and incarcerated to a great extent miss out on the “reproductive window”, so even if they survive they will be childless.

But no effort is being made to distinguish SD blacks from immigrant blacks, which has allowed this demographic collapse to escape much attention.

And those SD blacks who have been fortunate enough to retain their morality, insist on marriage before children and two parent families, encourage their children to become educated, etc., will likely be all that remains of SD blacks in just a few generations. The rest will have died out.

I say this to every one I argue with: “Get over Yourself.”
But mark my word, they NEVER will. And it’s sad, as it’s no way to go through life — perpetually angry and seeing yourself as a victim, therefore, wanting to victimize others. I have been on a couple of message boards and they really, really believe that the White Man is evil, is out to get them, has wrought horrible suffering throughout the world, etc. They are TAUGHT this.

Folks are becoming numb to the "racist" accusation as the end-all from Holder's people. I see more of the saturation effect every day and the number of Americans that are realizing this is increasing.

I posted this back in January...

Folks would do well to become completely desensitized from the "you are a racist" card.

It will NEVER stop.

No need to react or defend as there is nothing anyone can do to satisfy them.

They are handed taxpayer money and they are not appeased.

They are handed housing and they are not appeased.

They are handed 60k a year jobs and they are not appeased.

They are handed college degrees like they are coming off a Xerox copy machine and they are not appeased.

They are handed free food and they are not appeased.

They are handed elevated preference in all things and they are not appeased.

They are handed "recognition" of a phony Christmas and they are not appeased.

NOW they want to be handed default judgments in criminal cases of violence against "the white man." Dead or Alive bounties which are indisputable violations of American Citizens rights are not investigated or prosecuted because the criminal offering the bounty is black. Blacks are now demanding "UN intervention" so as to obtain "reparations."

The list is endless as the origin is incurable.

So, it is a total waste of time.

No matter what is done, what is given, what is preferred, there is NOTHING that will work.

They are about three generations into the "Grand Appeasement Society" and they are worse that useless, worse than worthless. They have "adapted" into the environment of appeasement and feed from it.









This one says it all.

I agree the problem is though is that they won’t because the programs in place now prevent that from happening. So we have to attach a penalty for such “behavior”, Get to work or get out, period.

Yeah ... I tried 4x, kept getting the message that the video was not available.

And, as is typical in such matters; as soon as I posted it - I checked again and saw it.

Really enjoy hearing from Zonation.
