The
most recent events coming out of Baltimore have elevated the debate
over race relations in the public's mind. This item seeks to provide
information helpful to understanding what is going on and hopefully
provide some perspective on the subject. If time does not permit
reading all items, please at least read the first four.
The author of this piece writes
of his frustration at the propensity for race baiting in our society.
He appeals to the thoughtful among us to help stop the madness by
focusing on our basic human goodness instead. Quote: "America will
never reach its potential as a nation as long as we continue to behave
like the Hatfields and McCoys over the issue of race. Abraham Lincoln
was prophetic when he said words to the effect that a house divided will
not stand. As long as America allows bigots on one hand and race
hustlers on the other to set the standards concerning race we will
remain a house divided. As long as we allow those who benefit from
racial discord to control the narrative about race, we will continue to
rob ourselves of the potential benefits of racial harmony." http://patriotupdate.com/articles/straight-talk-for-race-hustlers-and-racial-bigots-alike/
This
item addresses the question "Can blacks be racists?" Quote:
"Government dependency has contributed to broken homes, multiple
baby-daddy's, black-on-black crime, jobless men and most importantly, an
abandonment of biblical values in black communities. Yet these issues
are continuously ignored or excused within the community. Whitey makes
for a great scapegoat but they're not to blame for our problems today.
Blacks can be racist just like anyone else if and when we allow
unforgiveness to take root in our hearts. So where did this ridiculous
notion that blacks can't be racist come from? " And, "Sadly, the gift
of freedom given to all Americans by God will continue to allude blacks
like utopia does liberals. Blacks don't have the moral authority to
determine whom can or cannot be racist. God does! Perhaps if we begin
treating each other better, cops would have less need to police our
communities." http://townhall.com/columnists/carljackson/2015/03/28/can-blacks-be-racist-n1977384/page/full
According
to the currant political and mainstream media narrative the Republican
are racists and the primary cause of the racial divide.
The inconvenient truth of the history of political parties and race
relations, however, will surprise many of you. Two quotes: Speaking of
the Jim Crow laws "... many prominent Democrats whose reputations have
since been whitewashed supported them. Included among these was that
icon of progressivism, Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was an unabashed racist
who reintroduced segregation to the federal civil service when he took
office. And, when a group of African-American professionals came to the
White House to protest this outrage, Wilson threw them out after
pompously declaring:
“Segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit, and ought to be so
regarded by you gentlemen.” And, "Wilson believed this bilge not merely
because of his general predilection toward racism, but also because it
bore the imprimatur of the Supreme Court, which had legitimized the
“separate but equal” doctrine in its notorious Plessy v. Ferguson
ruling. This disgraceful ruling was eventually overturned by a later
Supreme Court led by a conservative Republican named Earl Warren. Chief
Justice Warren, a former Governor of California who had been appointed
by Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower in October of 1953,
presided over the Court’s unanimous ruling in Brown v. Board of Education."

This item points to the hypocrisy this topic too often exposes. Quote: "So far, there have been no reported protests over the senseless death of James Patrick Stuhlman. No marches against black-on-white crime. No outraged Sharpton or Jackson. No Justice Department probe into a possible hate crime. Stuhlman died on the street with his dog at his side." http://www.westernjournalism.com/black-teen-allegedly-guns-unarmed-white-man-begging-dont-shoot-liberal-outrage/?
This black journalist offers us a
well considered summary of the current status of the NAACP. Quote:
Speaking of the NAACP he says "What was once an organization with a
proud history, a legacy of liberation, and a focus on the most
disenfranchised has turned into just another rusty cog in the "Civil
Rights" industry." And, "The Radiance Foundation is honored to be
featured in the historic, yet wayward, organization’s yearly report.
Nothing says civil rights like denying others of their First
Amendment rights! The cover of that same NAACP Annual Report declares in
bold writing: "We Will Not Be Moved." They've moved all right (or
should I say all left), and continue to slide further down into
liberalism, crushing real civil rights along the way." http://townhall.com/columnists/ryanbomberger/2015/03/24/when-civil-rights-turn-into-civil-wrongs-naacp-sues-to-censor-free-speech-n1975466?
Anyone who thinks about this
problem with any degree of logic can see who are the ones sustaining
racial disharmony. It is a disgusting thing to behold. http://eaglerising.com/18087/its-the-left-who-keep-the-racism-alive/
Why was it necessary for this
state legislator to do this distasteful thing? She accused a
colleagues' 18 month old son of being a racist??? http://godfatherpolitics.com/21343/black-legislator-accuses-republicans-18-month-old-toddler-of-racism/
