"I KEEP HEARING THAT BLACKS HATE JEWS. LET ME STRAIGHTEN SOMETHING OUT. BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT HATE JEWS! BLACK PEOPLE HATE WHITE PEOPLE. WE GOT NO TIME TO BREAK YOU UP IN LITTLE GROUPS." - Chris Rock, black comedian

It is funny and like most humor, there is an element of truth to it. Now I am speaking generally here, so please, no emails telling me about exceptions and how nice old uncle louie is down on the job. Let it suffice to say there are millions of exceptions.

I am 68 years old. About the time I was born, the last former slaveholder in America died. About the time I reached adulthood, the last child born into slavery died. All of my adult life and then some, we Americans have been striving at great expense to bring equality to the black people of this nation. Basically, we achieved that goal about thirty-five years ago. At that point, the blacks had governmental equality (which is all that any of us has). When I was in the second grade, major league baseball broke the color line. The same year the military was integrated. Eighth grade: Brown v. Board of Ed. Freshman in high school: Courageous Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. (Her worth is tenfold Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Maya Angelou all rolled up in one). Senior in high school, Little Rock. For four years I served in an integrated military; I lived, worked and ate with blacks on a daily basis. The civil rights act of 1964. During ther sixties, the programs really picked up. In the seventies things got creative. White job or student applicants were given a handicap. In theory, blacks of equal qualifications would be selected over white, but we all know that was not true. The quotas put in place by the libs ensured blacks would be hired over whites with superior qualifications. More programs relating to providing income, education, housing and other social aspects were created. The result after 60 years is that the blacks are no better off than they were and they hate us to a greater degree (yes, to a greater degree!!) than our grandparents. All of this has not only not worked but has worsened. So let's stop doing it!



Overall, they are financially unproductive. They contribute less to society than they take out. Yet they are a warm and humorous people. Their contributions to music, entertainment and athletics is unequaled. They have made wonderful soldiers and have fought with great courage and skill in defense of this nation. Across the board African descendants have IQs a couple of points lower than most European descendants who in turn are a couple of points lower than certain Asians and Sephardic Jews. No big deal. Besides, there are experts who say that a black man with a 75 IQ can lead an independent life while a white man with a 75 IQ needs his hand held. It's a white man's barometer after all. Bottom line, they are not stupid. And they are not lazy. They have worked all over this land in agriculture, building infrastructure, etc. So what's the problem?

The black problem (which is also our problem) is that they do not grasp delayed gratification. That leads them into dropping out of school, premature sex and parenthood, abandonment of family responsibilities, excessive government dependency, drugs, crime, incarceration and so on. But no one is allowed to discuss it because it is politically incorrect. PC would be OK if it just got rid of some nasty words but if you control words you control minds. (And the Jews were always worried that it was the Republicans who were potential fascists. )

If you cannot discuss the problem, you cannot address it let alone solve it. So why can't it be discussed?

There is a whole passel of folks who have a vested interest in the blacks remaining second class citizens. And I am not talking about rednecks in pickup trucks. Certainly it includes Jackson, Sharpton, Angelou, Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright, and until three weeks ago BARACK OBAMA when he finally spoke the truth about AWOL black fathers. For the previous sixteen years he kept quiet about that obvious fact to use Wright and his substantial congregation of 8,000 plus as a political base. That also includes the leadership of the National Democratic Party who can count on black votes by promising to toss them a few bones. The left wing intelligentsia are the true racists who clearly believe blacks to be inferior. That is why they insist upon treating blacks like children and administer swift and unbelievable punishment to anyone who does not toe their line.

If we turn this country over to the likes of Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, and the people they will appoint to high government positions, bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye.
