First I’d like to discuss racism, I truly believe that every man, woman, and
child regardless of color, race or creed deserve the same opportunities for a
good life. I believe that a person earns
that right through his or her actions not because it is legislated. Out of guilt this country has almost destroyed
that opportunity for blacks in America. Never
in the history of America has one group of people been so abused. For decades we have tried to make up for a concept that came here from Europe along with our new emigrants in the
1600’s. For decades we have been
mislabeled as slavers because of the actions of a few. We have made several generations totally dependent on
government by continuing policies of apology and appeasement. Let me make what I’m saying very clear. Yes America was a slave country but it is equally important to remember that is was basically white Americans who fought through the
bloodiest war in our history to abolished slavery.
Very few Americans actually owned slaves and the majority of Americans
fought to destroy the practice. It’s
time to allow this entire race of people to assimilate into American society as
complete citizens. The Great Society
approach has failed as you cannot legislate ethics and work habits on one hand
and offer free cookies and milk with the
other. We have generations of the same families living in
government housing, eating government supplied food while paying them to have
children without any means to support them.
It amazes me that so many great ones have been able to escape the government pandering and
become extremely valuable members of our society while others have failed to take
advantage of the education programs and opportunities offered to get them off on
the right foot.
The good doers of the liberal establishment with their hand
out approach rather than offering a hand up have smothered any opportunity for
many to have the capacity to survive in the real world by making it easier to
take advantage of the system than to build on their own accomplishments. Welfare, Aid to dependent children, food
stamps and government housing is meant to be used as a hand up not a hand out. The programs have become so bloated with things like free cell phones that it
will take another two generations to break the cycle of dependency once and for
all. It’s time to stop the abuse and
give these people a real chance to become productive useful citizens by
enforcing child protective laws and requiring parents to take responsibility
for the education and the actions of their children. Fathers and mothers whether married or not
should be required by law to be equally responsible for their children. By offering real incentives for people to get
off the system through job incentive for business we can rebuild their confidence in themselves and in America . The idea that
generations of some families have made a living off these programs rather than actively
looking for work is obscene to most working Americans. Blaming the establishment is easy looking in
a mirror and deciding that the problem is right there in front of them is much harder. Listen to the language on the street and wonder
why your child can’t find work in the real world. Look at the professional athletes many who
find themselves unable to cope with success and end up back in the streets where they came from. Education must be applied not taken for
granted, a child that goes to school yet
fails to learn is the fault of the parents in most cases not the teacher. A child who learns and applies themselves by
studying hard and making good decisions is going to be a success. The self proclaimed cool ones may stay cool
in their own eyes but will always be the guy or girl on the street while the
educated climb the ladder of success.
The racism I see in this country is in the divisive rhetoric
used by those who benefit from turmoil, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others who prey on the
emotions of the weak and downtrodden of America. Racism is blaming everyone but themselves for
their misery. No I don’t consider myself
a racist I detest the very thought of a any child being brought up in a world
without hope basically being abandoned by their parents to be raised on the
streets. America will never be solid
again until we learn that racism is wrong from whatever side it comes from. Who can honestly say they do not profile,
black white red or yellow each of us have to learn to trust rather than be suspicious,
but that trust has to be earned not legislated.
That’s just my opinion
