Pat Buchanon to Barrack


I agree with him on this one:

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 t hem 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 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 in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white .?

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 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 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.

Be a better friend,

Thats an annoying statement to me and Im not even Black.

Not the mention the part about helping them get back on their feet after beating the hell out of them with whips and them supposed to show gratitude for it.

Whipping, branding, dismembering, castrating, or killing a slave

oh yeah, I'd be really grateful!

One code explicitly spelled out the punishment for those who struck a white person and for runaways. First offenders were severely whipped, followed by slitting the nose and burning "some part of his face with a hot iron" and even death for those who attacked whites a second or third time. Enslaved blacks found off the plantation without written permission from their master were considered runaways. Those who ran away more than once could be branded with an R on their cheek and might suffer the loss of an ear. Castrating male slaves and branding an R on the left cheek of female slaves punished a fourth offense. A fifth failed attempt could be punished by either cutting the tendon in one leg or sentencing the enslaved person to death. .

Im not feeling the gratitude here, and like I said, Im not even Black.

Jn:14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments. --Jesus.

Greetings,
And just why is it, that folks fail to mention, there were more white slaves in America, then any other race, or, all of the other races, put together. That's right. Just because we called them, "Indentured Servants", does not mean they where not property, nor, slaves, for they were the property of the owner that held the contract, with such stipulations, which could never be keep, so eventually, the "Indentured Servant" who may have had a five or seven year contract to pay off their passage to America, would now find themselves by violations of the contract, to be "Indentured" for up to an additional twenty years....So, who talks about the white slaves???

You know the song, "Jimmy Cracked Corn"? Well Jimmy was a white slave who the house slaves sung about. Jimmy cracked corn while the master went to town, cause Jimmy was starved and a dime a dozen..That's right, white slaves sold for a dime a dozen, where as an exotic slave, which cost more to buy, and was a status symbol, worked in the house, was given better clothes and the masters scraps for food, and sung about Jimmy.. Why do you think whites are referred to by the slang term, "Cracker"? Not because they whipped slaves, but cracked corn on the stalk, to eat, and survive.. You never hear about how many Jimmies were branded or hobbled, cause "They" don't want you to know.. They just want all the "White Trash", the dime a dozen boys, to be forgotten...

No King but CHRIST JESUS!!!

Greetings T-Man,
And don't overlook what people owned the "Dutch West-Indies" shipping company. If it was not for them, being merchants of men, this would not have been...

Greetings again T-Man,
Just another word to show people about white slaves. Whites who worked the field all day, would have such a burn on the back of their necks, that others would refer to them as, "Rednecks"..

No King but CHRIST JESUS!!!
