Finally...........It is said publicly. I have never seen the white side explained better! Pat Buchanan had the guts to say it. It is about time. BUCHANAN TO OBAMA By Patrick J. Buchanan
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks. We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing. Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!! I'm for a better America
Honor our Veterans - it's the right thing to do.

Ah . . . the uppity Rev. Wright.
Who knows what pissed him off about whitey. Maybe after two years in the marines and four in the navy, he heard about a government experiment that used about 400 poor black slobs as guinea pigs to see what happens when syphilis goes untreated. An experiment that lasted for FORTY years, until someone let the cat out of the bag in 1972. These 399 lucky stiffs were kept out of the draft in World War II, but only because blood tests would reveal the syphilis, and then they’d get treatment. Penicillin turned out to be a cure for syphilis in 1947, but they didn’t get it.

In my opinion, black folks need two things.
1. Consider themselves Americans Not Black Americans, Not Afro-Americans but Americans.
2. Real leaders Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rev. Wright, all need to shut the hell up, or get with the program and be real leaders, not antagonist.

Jeez! That's right Rich. Lets not blame and prosecute the post war criminal mad scientists. Let's blame all white folks. And by God, let's give all blacks a free ride because of what's happened to their great grandparents in the past. This guy is dead on. I'm a believer in a meritocracy. Screw what ethnicity someone is. Jobs, scholarships, loans, opportunities etc should go to hardest working most deserving period, whatever the persons color. Time we got a level playing field in this country and stopped anti-white prejudice which is friggin rampant in our colleges and aid programs. And regarding African-Americans none of which are from Africa but chose to use that term to separate themselves from mainstream America (We don't call ourselves Scottish- Americans or Euro- Americans as it's divisive) never have so many done so little with so much. White America has been giving them freebies for 140 years and mostly they're still a bunch of dependent parasites who do very little to raise themselves up and contribute in a positive manner to our nation. Hell, most of them don't even bother trying to get a good education when it's handed to them on a platter, have tons of kids with no fathers, and would rather buy a rap record, a gold chain or a two hundred dollar pair of sneaks rather than buy a book to learn something. Bill Cosby said it best "We cannot blame the white people any longer". In short, it's the blacks themselves that are the problem. They are their own worst enemy, not mean ole whitey......Mel

I am not going to comment one way or the other on the subject matter of this post, but just for kicks, I would like to point out that we are all African-Americans. Literally.

Yup, considering the fossil evidence, you're dead right on that one. I always found the term Native American odd too, as there were no native humans in North or South America. Everyone here is an immigrant. We just arrived at different times and each new wave displaced or absorbed the other.....Mel

Read up on some paleontology and evolution, and you will see that we all originally evolved and migrated out of Africa.

That's the theory now but when all the glaciers melt from global warming and another bone is found, we will all be from the North Pole. ;D
Let's assume for now we did all come from Africa. That would make us all brothers, would it not?

I believe in the level playing field. We are all equals as long as you try to achieve. It is up to us as individuals to do our best to succeed in life or that is how it should be. The dependence on handouts have only enslaved people more. There is a need for some programs on a temporary basis but what we have now is a system run amok. It was proven one day when I overheard a black lady on the phone angrily say she had just gotten back from her social worker and "that woman had the nerve to tell me I need to get a job or at least a part time job. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have a job". It says in the bible we are all brothers so that is a known fact. And, I don't know about anyone else here but when I go for a job, I have to prove citizenship and show my ID's. Should be the same for the white house. Fran
