Topic : 09/12 The N-Word Debate

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 '60 s 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 ra pes 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.

Your statements about the slave trade are filled with errors. Please visit the following link.

The idea of forced African enslavement to the Americas came about by western Europeans. They wanted cheap labor. Unlike the type of bondage occurring in Africa (and on other continents such as Europe and Asia) this was systemic and brutal. Slavery in Africa (a huge continent) was not widespread. Those who were slaves were not forced into it except in cases where they were prisoners of war or had commited a crime (an entirely different scenario). 

No Black person would disagree that there was not a group of African traitors who helped Europeans and Americans capture innocent Africans, against their will, so that they can be stripped of their clothing, branded with a hot iron, and then chained in a ship's hold to travel across the entire Atlantic Ocean in that fashion for cheap personal gain (guns or trinkets). Any traitorous role that a group of Africans had in the slave trade does not negate the evil crime against humanity that was done by western Europeans and Americans. It was their idea to capture innocent Africans against their will to bring them to a foreign land so that they could be forced to work the land for free and under horrific conditions. A contingent of Africans did not pay a visit to western Europe or America and say, 'We would like to give away a bunch of our African people to you so that you can dehumanize them; are you in?" 

In every history where there is a grave injustice, you can find a betrayer or a traitor. Take a look at the history of Moses. Native Amnericans had traitors in their midst. Does that justify the Trail of Tears or the horrible injustice that was done to Native Americans? No! So, why do people like you seem to think that the slave trade was justified just because of the actions of a small group of African traitors?

I can honestly say I've had just as much hate thrown at me and I'm not an angry person(very mellow actually), and as far as walking in someone elses shoes, what about Native Americans?

They were used as slaves for a time, and pushed off their land. Ever hear of the trail of tears? If you had you'd wonder just what race has endured the most hardship.
