I took off my headset and looked at her carefully as she continued. "All Dr. King tried to do was further civil rights ii this country, and he did it all non-violently. He worked to ed segregation and to fight white supremacy, often going head to head with racist governors, judges, and cops. And he did it all in such a manner that no one could accuse him, or the movement, as violent."
She continued. "These protesters today have st his movement back 50 years."
I pondered that for a minute, and she turned back to her tablet.
This morning, I see at PJ Media that Dennis Prager agrees with her.
According to the make-believe world of the left, we are experiencing a great moment in American racial history. For the first time, the story goes, more whites than ever are coming to realize how racist America is, how racist cops are and how systemically racist everything in America is. Only now do many Americans understand just how racist Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, Ulysses Grant, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, “whitening” agents, meritocracy, Western culture, Christianity, jailing Blacks and the NFL are. The bestselling book in America is about alleged “white fragility” — the term for any rational response to the irrational charge that all whites are racist.
All this is supposed to be good for America’s Blacks.
But none of it is. In fact, it is all destructive.The pendulum swings in both directions. It swung one way for Bama and another way for Trump. We're seeing it swing right now, and while many Americans feel that it may be swinging a little too far to the left, we should remember that it can swing back, It always does.
I think that he has really been the only one that made a positive difference, and possibly the only one that could have made a difference.
ReplyDeleteThose who do the opposite, like malcolm X and the current rioters, are more likely to harden attitudes against themselves than to incur change.
Of course, local leadership allowing them to run crazy and giving them what they want disguises the damage they are doing and hides the scale of the problem for now...
Equilibrium... We almost had it, and now the pendulum is on a BIG swing. How and when it comes back will be 'interesting'!
ReplyDeleteObama was elected because he was black. Every black voted for him, every democrat voted for him, and many non-democrat whites voted for him in the mistaken belief that they would prove that they are not a racist and that a black president would forever disprove the notion that we were a racist nation.
ReplyDeleteHowever, Obama set racial relations back to 1960. Why ? I have a theory.
Obama's mama was white. His Daddy ? A negro communist, probably one of several black sex partners that his negro-lovin' mama had. According to some, his mama was a Clowns In America trainee who was working undercover for a world-wide communist revolution. And Obama was raised in the company of trained marxists.
However despite having a white devil mother, he unfortunately looked all black. Talk about getting screwed over. He acted white, he thought white.. He felt white. So why should he look black ? This twisted his personality and made him bitter. When by a fluke of a perfect storm of George W Bush fatigue, an economic crash bigger than the recessions since WWII and a case of temporary insanity on the part of the voters along with a total lack of vetting by the left-controlled press he was elected president, he decided to use his skin color and racial identity to foment racial division as a part of his core campaign to destroy America. He was successful in setting racial relations back to before MLK did his thing.
