It strikes me every time I have a genuine conversation with someone, whether it be a clerk at the local Lowe's or a colleague when traveling for business, that we all see the terrible wrong being done to this great nation while we remain imprisoned by the Orwellian thought-police realized today in what we call "Political Correctness."
Because of this irrational "thought-prison" the truth goes unspoken. The truth is slandered as being "racist", "insensitive", "sexist", and the list goes on. If someone dares try to initiate a truthful dialogue, they are punished immediately! I embrace the truth. I do not fear it. The truth has helped me to grow in mind, body and spirit.
I am an American, of African descent. I am politically conservative, perhaps 5 steps to the Right of any of the current candidates running in the Presidential primaries. I am conservative because I do not deny the truth. I do not indulge myself in the daily hypocrisy so often displayed by the Liberals.
Liberals accept as fact the innate inferiority of minorities, and use their political strategy to compensate for this perceived inferiority.
Conservatives don't accept excuses and do not believe in coddling lazy crybabies with the ever extended hands asking for more.
For this the Liberals are perceived as the humane party, while the Conservatives are a harsh breed.
It is truly sad that so few minorities excel in this country, but what is even more tragic is why. Few excel, because few aspire to break the cultural prison that is completely self-imposed by minorities and most evident with the Blacks in this country.
Everything from the way they speak, dress to the music they listen to is so strictly regimented. I say "they" because I frankly feel apart from those with this belief system. The youth aspire to be either rappers, or athletes or inmates at a state penitentiary, or why not all of the above! If they gather in numbers they bring only ill-will and savagery. We see it on the news and read it in the papers and wonder to ourselves, "How has our nation come to this?"
It has come to this because of a choice. The despicable element of the Black community (if you'll permit the oxymoron) chooses to be a discredit to all Americans. They choose to inspire hatred from even those whose families fought alongside Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement in America. They bite every hand that bothers to feed them, and have no remorse for betraying their country and every decent person who extended a hopeful hand in help.
Now if you tell them this, you are a villain! How dare you point out their glaring shortcomings? "They are after all inferior", says the Liberal, feeling a proud contrast.
What is infuriating is that those of us who do right by our fellow citizen, who love our glorious nation and apply themselves for self-improvement that we may do good to both our neighbors and nation, are muted by the chorus of destruction.
We all have eyes to see, look! Look at Detroit, a beautiful metropolis raped, beaten and left for dead. How many other cities and neighborhoods have lost their glory only to be replaced with the gloom of idle people concerning themselves only with tearing down, never taking a moment to build a single thing.
Step back and look objectively! No excuses about mitigating socioeconomic factors! Poor excuses for people who were too lazy to be anything more than a constant burden!
Do I swell with pride? No! I feel guilt and shame. It's funny, because I know that some of my friends (who happen to be White) confide in me that they feel a guilt for our nation's racist past, but the fact that we can have such a conversation speaks volumes of the progress already made, but the modern day Black "community" has been left behind, dwelling on wrongs done to people long dead by people just as dead.
Is your self-pity so great that you must relive the pain, or do you use it as a crutch to explain away your lack of achievement? I think the latter more than the former.
Young Trayvon was shot to death in Florida. I am heart-broken to see a life wasted. My prayers are with Trayvon's family. I don't have access to the information the local law enforcement is investigating. Neither do the countless people quick to cry-out in the streets "racism!"
So many people are ready to cry fowl at the first chance they get, but no one cries fowl at the self-induced suffering that cannot be blamed on some "White racist"
I guarantee the Black "community" will not take any responsibility for the stigma that follows nearly every Black male in this country and is most certainly applicable to those young Black males who dress in the urban uniform that looks as if it were issued. The stigma is not the fault of anyone else but the Black "community"
If people dress like that everyday, and commit crimes in dress like that everyday, people will start to recognize a pattern! Yes, this will lead to profiling and the pre-judgment of individuals who conform to that archetype. The simple answer is "don't dress like a hoodlum if you're not a hoodlum!", but I am sure that sounds too old fashioned, even if it is correct.
This brings me to the core of the truth about the Black "community": So-called Black "culture" is responsible for the continued decline and inertia we observe daily.
I grew up in the ghetto and applied myself in school, got a job, then a better job, and got out of the ghetto, because living in the ghetto is like living in a trash dumpster, and I believe that any sane person will apply themselves to remove themselves from the dumpster.
I divorced myself from the Black "culture" because I saw it for what it was, destructive and self-defeating.
Some may disagree and say getting out of the ghetto is enough, to which I say, you're not out until your mind and body are out! I encounter some who left the ghetto physically but never mentally. We all have in Section 8 housing. They move in and their kids start shoplifting at the grocery store! Crime in general surprisingly goes up (who would of thunk it?). Then there are those who, with ghetto in-mind, infiltrate our workplaces or media. Some of us cringe when listening to National Public Radio's "token" who really struggles with the English language. It's embarrassing! Why is English like a second language to you? Oh, Black "culture" has allowed generations to live in mental squalor speaking "Ebonics" Oh how proud you must be! Do you put that on your resume?
Lest we forget the beloved N-word. I can say it, or type it rather, but it will likely be edited. The utterly idiotic embracing of "Nigger" or "Nigga" which implies that it would have even less sense than the former is in my opinion one more indicator of the uselessness of the so-called Black "culture"
Frankly, anyone who would allow themselves to be referred to as either of the terms without being offended, probably has no reason to be. For those who have used up your scratch paper doodling images pertinent to your rap persona, it means you are as ignorant (this means absent of knowledge, not rude, though they do go hand in hand) as the term implies.
I have offered a lot of grievances. Now some solutions. To a young African American, I offer the following advice:
- Let Go of Black "Culture" (Don't Aspire to Go to Prison)
- Stop Blaming Everyone Else (Surprise! No One is Holding You Back!)
- Don't Ever Allow Al Sharpton to Speak on Your Behalf (Black "community")
- Apply Yourself Academically (Learn English at the very Least)
- Don't Let the Niggers/Niggas Hold You Back (Success Threatens Them)
- Build Something Dammit! (Don't Destroy, Create Something Useful and Tangible)
- Conduct Yourself Like a Human Being (Clean Up Your Mess, Help Others)
- Do Your Part! (Be an Asset to the American Community)
That wraps up my truth session for today. I sincerely hope these words can have a positive impact on the nation I love.
