Racism And What We Can Do About It

What are post-racial principles?
Talking Points for Republicans…

Well let’s look at some facts and then when you come to the meeting we can discuss you’re your views on this matter. If you can’t make it to the conference send me an email with your thoughts.

The Republican Party was founded by abolitions (the Republicans) who fought the Southerners (the Democrats) for freedom and liberty for everybody. Why aren’t we answering back in the strongest terms possible when Black Leaders talk about segregation?

Martin Luther King’s famous line about not judging people by their color and gender but by their character ability and talent is pure conservative thought. Why don’t we make it a permanent part of our Platform?

The Republican Party has been post-racial since winning the Civil War – Why have we allowed the Democrats to divide America into groups?

In terms of African American community relations; the following excerpts are from an article written by Pat Buchanan (March 21, 2008) and following that is David Horowitz’s (January 03, 2001) article, “Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea for Blacks - and Racist Too.”

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. (It could have been 180 million if it wasn’t for Roe vs Wade)

Second, no government 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 time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

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?

Is it really white America's fault the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is it really white America's fault that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is it really white America's fault that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse or that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?


Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea for Blacks
and Racist Too
By David Horowitz

One

There Is No Single Group Clearly Responsible For The Crime Of Slavery

Black Africans and Arabs were responsible for enslaving the ancestors of African-Americans. There were 3,000 black slave-owners in the ante-bellum United States. Are reparations to be paid by their descendants too?

Two

There Is No One Group That Benefited Exclusively From Its Fruits

The claim for reparations is premised on the false assumption that only whites have benefited from slavery. If slave labor created wealth for Americans, then obviously it has created wealth for black Americans as well, including the descendants of slaves. The GNP of black America is so large that it makes the African-American community the 10th most prosperous "nation" in the world. American blacks on average enjoy per capita incomes in the range of twenty to fifty times that of blacks living in any of the African nations from which they were kidnapped.

Three

Only A Tiny Minority Of White Americans Ever Owned Slaves, And Others Gave Their Lives To Free Them

Only a tiny minority of Americans ever owned slaves. This is true even for those who lived in the ante-bellum South where only one white in five was a slaveholder. Why should their descendants owe a debt? What about the descendants of the 350,000 Union soldiers who died to free the slaves? They gave their lives. What possible moral principle would ask them to pay (through their descendants) again?

Four

America Today Is A Multi-Ethnic Nation and Most Americans Have No Connection (Direct Or Indirect) To Slavery

The two great waves of American immigration occurred after 1880 and then after 1960. What rationale would require Vietnamese boat people, Russian refuseniks, Iranian refugees, and Armenian victims of the Turkish persecution, Jews, Mexicans, Greeks, or Polish, Hungarian, Cambodian and Korean victims of Communism, to pay reparations to American blacks?

Five

The Historical Precedents Used To Justify The Reparations Claim Do Not Apply, And The Claim Itself Is Based On Race Not Injury

The historical precedents generally invoked to justify the reparations claim are payments to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, Japanese-Americans and African- American victims of racial experiments in Tuskegee, or racial outrages in Rosewood and Oklahoma City. But in each case, the recipients of reparations were the direct victims of the injustice or their immediate families. This would be the only case of reparations to people who were not immediately affected and whose sole qualification to receive reparations would be racial. As has already been pointed out, during the slavery era, many blacks were free men or slave-owners themselves, yet the reparations claimants make no distinction between the roles blacks actually played in the injustice itself. Randall Robinson's book on reparations, The Debt, which is the manifesto of the reparations movement is pointedly sub-titled "What America Owes To Blacks." If this is not racism, what is?

Six

The Reparations Argument Is Based On The Unfounded Claim That All African-American Descendants of Slaves Suffer From The Economic Consequences Of Slavery And Discrimination

No evidence-based attempt has been made to prove that living individuals have been adversely affected by a slave system that was ended over 150 years ago. But there is plenty of evidence the hardships that occurred were hardships that individuals could and did overcome. The black middle-class in America is a prosperous community that is now larger in absolute terms than the black underclass. Does its existence not suggest that economic adversity is the result of failures of individual character rather than the lingering after-effects of racial discrimination and a slave system that ceased to exist well over a century ago? West Indian blacks in America are also descended from slaves but their average incomes are equivalent to the average incomes of whites ( and nearly 25% higher than the average incomes of American born blacks). How is it that slavery adversely affected one large group of descendants but not the other? How can government be expected to decide an issue that is so subjective - and yet so critical - to the case?

Seven

The Reparations Claim Is One More Attempt To Turn African-Americans Into Victims. It Sends A Damaging Message To The African-American Community.

The renewed sense of grievance -- which is what the claim for reparations will inevitably create -- is neither a constructive nor a helpful message for black leaders to be sending to their communities and to others. To focus the social passions of African-Americans on what some Americans may have done to their ancestors fifty or a hundred and fifty years ago is to burden them with a crippling sense of victim-hood. How are the millions of refugees from tyranny and genocide who are now living in America going to receive these claims, moreover, except as demands for special treatment, an extravagant new handout that is only necessary because some blacks can't seem to locate the ladder of opportunity within reach of others -- many less privileged than themselves?

Eight

Reparations To African Americans Have Already Been Paid

Since the passage of the Civil Rights Acts and the advent of the Great Society in 1965, trillions of dollars in transfer payments have been made to African-Americans in the form of welfare benefits and racial preferences (in contracts, job placements and educational admissions) - all under the rationale of redressing historic racial grievances. It is said that reparations are necessary to achieve a healing between African-Americans and other Americans. If trillion dollar restitutions and a wholesale rewriting of American law (in order to accommodate racial preferences) for African-Americans is not enough to achieve a "healing," what will?

Nine

What About The Debt Blacks Owe To America?

Slavery existed for thousands of years before the Atlantic slave trade was born, and in all societies. But in the thousand years of its existence, there never was an anti-slavery movement until white Christians - Englishmen and Americans -- created one. If not for the anti-slavery attitudes and military power of white Englishmen and Americans, the slave trade would not have been brought to an end. If not for the sacrifices of white soldiers and a white American president who gave his life to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, blacks in America would still be slaves. If not for the dedication of Americans of all ethnicities and colors to a society based on the principle that all men are created equal, blacks in America would not enjoy the highest standard of living of blacks anywhere in the world, and indeed one of the highest standards of living of any people in the world. They would not enjoy the greatest freedoms and the most thoroughly protected individual rights anywhere. Where is the gratitude of black America and its leaders for those gifts?

Ten

The Reparations Claim Is A Separatist Idea That Sets African-Americans Against The Nation That Gave Them Freedom

Blacks were here before the Mayflower. Who is more American than the descendants of African slaves? For the African-American community to isolate itself even further from America is to embark on a course whose implications are troubling. Yet the African-American community has had a long-running flirtation with separatists, nationalists and the political left, who want African-Americans to be no part of America's social contract. African Americans should reject this temptation.

For all America's faults, African-Americans have an enormous stake in their country and its heritage. It is this heritage that is really under attack by the reparations movement. The reparations claim is one more assault on America, conducted by racial separatists and the political left. It is an attack not only on white Americans, but on all Americans -- especially African-Americans.

America's African-American citizens are the richest and most privileged black people alive -- a bounty that is a direct result of the heritage that is under assault. The American idea needs the support of its African-American citizens. But African-Americans also need the support of the American idea. For it is this idea that led to the principles and institutions that have set African-Americans - and all of us -- free.

I think when Martin Luther King stated that the US wrote Blacks a check marked insufficient funds now we can consider it paid in full with interest.

Socialism cannot Survive Without the Poor and Uneducated
By Jeffers M. Dodge May 18, 2008

Socialism cannot survive without the poor and uneducated. That is why many Conservatives are advocating for an Institutional Reform Surge that will modernize the US Government’s mandated entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Disability. They believe that nothing short of a complete transformation to personal accounts, utilizing economic efficiencies created from over 200 years of fine-tuning of our capitalistic free market system will save the American government from a free fall into the abyss of the historically destructive economic principals of socialism.

Some of the most successful of these Conservative Advocates are William Kristol of the Weekly Standard, Dick Army’s FreedomWorks, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the truly interactive, Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions. The David Horowitz Freedom Center is another Conservative Advocates here in Los Angeles that is attacking the problem of the Left in acedemic, media and entertainment terms..

The proposed annual shift of $1.3 trillion out of the public sector into the private sector will first and foremost create wealth for the working poor and middle class by establishing personal “Lock Box” accounts that will eliminate the need for other savings plan such as 401ks, IRAs etc. It will reduce the size of government and increase tax revenues to local, state and federal treasuries. Most Americans no longer support the current inefficient Social Security system that is a self-sustaining monster destined to take over the entire government bureaucracy -- draining billions out of the US economy both in terms of productivity and happiness.

Most Americans want their mandatory Social Security contributions to be personalized – some don’t. Who are these "anti-personalization" advocates? I call them the Socialist Coalition. They are the groups and organizations that spent almost a billion dollars to defeat of George W. Bush’s attempt to deliver social security privatization to the American public. They are a mix of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, private enterprises, private citizens, and left wing think tanks all over the country. They all have one goal in common; Socialism, an economic system of expropriation where the state, controlled by a handful of leftist elitists, takes ownership control over the means of production.

The programs fueled by Socialistic economic principles (taxpayers money) in America were designed by their proponents to unfairly compete with private businesses. Programs such as Public Schools vs Private Schools, Social Security vs Private Retirement, and now on the horizon an expansion of universal healthcare have all failed in terms of sustainability, quality, accessibility and affordability. These programs would never succeed in the real world without the taxpayer bailouts.

I ascribe this concession to Socialism to the ALLEGED collapse of capitalism in the 1930’s as seen through the prism of the left wing media. If truth be told, Roosevelt's New Deal policies, including Social Security, never gave permanent relief to the needy, or reform to the financial system, and our economy only recovered after Hitler took advantage of the fact we were in a depression. Only when we had to gear for war did our economy recover. (Just as a side note; Roosevelt's delay cost the lives of millions of Europeans and years of misery in America.) Another example of this distortion of historical perception is the McCarthy era, as rewritten of course by the left wing media, entertainment business and academia.

Nevertheless, in both cases, socialism got a foothold in the United States economy and muted our economic growth thereby exacerbating bad education, poverty, crime, drug use and gang violence. These measures of misery are the fuel for socialism, without it they die -- success for them is a paradox.

One more thing, the polarization we are experiencing in the United States between the left and the right is reflective of Americas resistance to the victimization and entitlement mindset created by the equality tenets attributed to socialism, “You are poor because of the rich therefore you deserve it for free.” This weakness is emboldening our enemies specifically the Islamic Brotherhood, students of Nazism and suppliers to our oil addicted economy. This broad network of Islamic Radicals coupled with high technology, have the potential of being far more destructive than Hitler ever was.

I am encouraging each and every one of you to participate in one of the Conservative Advocacies organizations above. Ask question, submit your policy ideas and make comments. What we need is an Institutional Reform Surge that can only happen when our leaders hear from we the people.

Joe Hicks will be our guest speaker on the 28th. We will be discussing Race in the Race.

According to the Obamaites, anyone (meaning a Republican) that dares to challenge Barack Obama is a racist. If you express policy differences and you are a Republican you are a racist. Try comparing experience; you are a racist. Discredit Barack’s associations (i.e. Rev. Wright); you are a racist. They don’t dare say that about Hillary’s campaign -- she can’t be a racist – she’s married to Bill, a Democrat.

Condoleezza Rice is not black; she’s an Uncle Tom, which is the same for all black Republicans, they’re all traitors to their race. She should be held up as a role model for the advancement of race relations in America but instead she is vilified because she is not a Democrat.

Obama grew up half white with his white mother and his white grandparents but now everyone believes he has the soul of black slaves. Obama is not a descendant of slaves and he was raised in a white middleclass neighborhood. America is in unchartered territory -- the far left owns the Democrats.

Obama’s roots were steeped in Communism and he was brainwashed to believe that state coerced equality is supreme -- except if you’re a white racist Republican, "You don't get a say!" Obama started off his campaign as a post-racial candidate until the “First Black President” Bill Clinton compared him to Jesse Jackson… That’s really harsh Bill… but we forgive you, cause you're a Democrat.

Why aren't Republicans standing up for post-racial principles such as integration and equality of race and gender? Not all Republican’s are wossies, there are a few exceptions. When I ran for office I declared that I was colorblind and we should all judge each other not by race or gender but by character, ability and talent. My campaign staff had a fit and advised against it. I didn’t listen – I couldn’t – this is how my parents raised me. (I was running against a black female hard core socialist)

Martin Luther King’s famous line about color, gender and character should be the proverbial 11th Commandment.

Republicans are doomed -- no, we are all doomed -- unless we can figure out how to overcome this challenge.

If I may suggest a solution to this problem of racism in America (aside from firing most of the Republican leadership for dereliction of duty) – let’s talk about slavery, the abolitionists, the Civil War, civil rights, women's rights -- BRAND THE FACTS -- make them LOUD and CLEAR. The Republicans have been post-racial since winning the Civil War - it has been the Democrats that have survived off purposeful division and hate.

The Democrats don't care if Obama is post-racial; it was the Republicans being targeted by Obama's snake oil & charm. It was our hopes and dreams that Democrats were finally coming around. But after Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and his wife Michelle, did we, in fact, get to see the real Obama.

So let us grab this opportunity and start pushing our values to America as we go forward from here -- God, Country, Family, Free Markets, a strong Military and the 11th Commandment -- these are what made our country great.

Jeremiah's Revenge (mocks Obama with music - a waltz)

Obama and Wright; A match made in heaven turns out was made in hell.
By Jeffers M. Dodge

On one hand I feel sorry for Obama and on the other hand I understand why Jeremiah is so pissed.

Just for clarity sake I am determined to eliminate socialism from America, so I would never vote for Barack Obama. I also find Jeremiah Wright to be the quintessential con artist and they both are the Pied Pipers of the African American community in the United States making a mockery of America’s political system.

Reverend Wright first met Obama just after his previous mentor Frank Davis Marshal, a card carrying Communist, died in 1987, (Did Obama meet Reverend Wright at his funeral?). He immediately recognized Obama’s extraordinary charisma and oratory skills and was happy to discover his Marxist upbringing. All this coupled with proper indoctrination to the Marxist based Black Liberation Theology Reverend Wright preaches from the pulpit – he concluded it was a match made in heaven - or so he thought.

Wright knew Obama was using him to gain inroads into the black community in the South Side of Chicago one of the most gullible places on earth for the purpose political expediency. Wright also knew that Obama was a star and going far and he was going to do everything in his power to tag along.

Barack was trained by Wright on the advantages of being a Christian in that community and learned how to be Black (Barack’s mother was white as a Lilly, and his father left them shortly after he was born) so that he could lead his followers to vote for him in the state senate. From there it was easy – just stick with the script and he will make it to the White House; a testament to post-racial America.

When the time came for Obama’s announcement to run for president he took Reverend Wright to the basement and told him he could not go. I can only guess that Wright felt betrayed and probably told Obama that God will be the judge. Soon after that, low and behold, the controversial DVD was discovered for the first time for sale in the lobby of the church where Jeremiah Wright preached damnation to the United States.

To put the last nail in the coffin of Obama’s campaign Reverend Wright decided to go on the Magical Mystery Tour and make a fool of himself and Obama. All Hillary Clinton and John McCain could do was sit back and see the wrath of the media do their job.

And so end’s Obama’s political career. The match that was made in heaven turns out was made in hell --- and that’s the way the devil works.

GOD bless George W. Bush
