A Brief To Blackie – All Praise The Slave Ship
.
Former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan wrote a post on his site called A Brief To Whitey, where he compares Obama’s speech on race to the same con that the black hustlers have been peddling for ages. He then goes on to claim that blacks should be lucky for the slave trade you see memorialize in the picture above.
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.
So let me get this right Mr. Buchanan, I should be happy that my people we shoved in the bottom of ships brought to a strange new country, mistreated for hundreds of years and only truly became Equal less than 20 years ago? Okay explain more to me.
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.
Granted I’ll give you that no people have done more for Black Americans than white but at the same time no race has done more to oppress the Black American that the white American. Tell that to the mother of a 9 year old boy named Malik Thomas who was burned to death by a group of white children. Explain that to the ancestors of Emmett Till & Medger Evers whose killer was only brought to Justice in 1994.
Another Newsflash Pat, there are no more Black Schools in America. But under funded school systems in the Urban areas of the world where its citizens live in poverty and are forced by zoning laws to go to these underfunded schools. Do poor children not deserve a proper education b/c they should be happy they are descendants of slaves?
Mr. Buchanan your comments are insensitive, and racist. Unlike the statements of Rev. Wright’s whose statements were at best UnAmerican but far from racist, and filled with truth. It is time for Blacks to stand up and make views like this a national issue. You ought to be lucky that the former slaves of this country did not revolt and take this country over. With views like yours Mr. Buchanan the race issues in this country will never ever be solved.
