Race
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.
We are a Christian Nation even if Mr.Obama
says we are not.
This needs to be passed around because, this
is a message everyone needs to hear!!!
