I wish more honest decent White folks would stand up like yourself, but you know all people have things about their race that they are ashamed of and thats just part of the get through life thing the best we can...I trully think What really needs to happen with respect to racial issues in this area and the country is what we are doing right right now on this message board. Sure there well be militant blacks who hate and racist whites along with them. I do enjoy honest dialog with
other cultures about our differeces and opinons. That is how we all can learn from each other and make this country a better place. I can’t defend all of the crap that I know the politicians in Detroit have done. I can only try to look at reality as it is presented to me. My honest opinon on things of race in this area is that both white and blacks are to blame but you can’t have reconciliation and begine to heal the open wounds of the race card until there is honest communication. Even if, you have to check your ego at the door and humble ourselves and not get so emotional about the truth. There is a big picture and that big picture is that the power’s to be are making fools out of all of us Black and white. While some of these racist whites have been so much about keeping the blackman down they allowed millions of jobs to go oversea’s to China, Mexico, India and elsewhere. Without much of a whimper from them. What is up with that? And for my people, Blacks, we have been walking around like braindead comatosed zombies caught up in some type of a mass-hypnotic-only-seek-pleasure trance letting every ethnic group use us to get over in this country. I don’t have the time to go into all of the reasons why I believe black folks are contining to have behavior patterns which cause us to stay on the bottom rung of American society and I do mean the buttom. I will say that many of those patterns have their orgin in how we are treated and the sub-cultures that we have created to try to escape some of the realities of being black in America. I also don’t really think the average white person has a grasp of how their history and culture in this country negatively effects
African Americans on a day to day basis. Here is a big part of the race card game that has been played of most whites. White owned media keeps continual negative stereotypes and stories about blacks in the forefront of the American consciousness. Let a veiw blacks move into a predominately white neighborhood and watch the forsale signs go up. this is currently happening in the western suburb of Canton Michigan. Most properties out there are going for 250,000 and up. Excuse me! But I don’t ever recall hearing about any drive by shootings or any other type of crime problems in that upper middle class community but the whites are jetting out of there big time. I was always told that blight, a deteriorating school system, crime and other ills of the inner city was the cause of white flight. In the case of Canton, non of those conditions exist.
You see the whites moving out have been so conditioned by America and it’s racist propaganda media to think so negatively of African Americans that all commonsense just goes right out the window. And guess what happens as a result. New homes get built, the mortgage companies get paid, Utilities and SBC get paid, new road construction, new retail in the area, new gas stations, more miles on the car, a second or third car is needed. I wonder what the a American landscape would look like, if there was no blacks in America to create this paranoia which in turn fuels Urban sprawl. It appears that
this a a self generating cycle; as long as blacks are treated a certain way, the masses of them will react in some ways that will make other’s in America not want to be around them. So there you have a self generating money making machine. Sure whites are on the better endn of this game But nontheless, they are also ponds to make the super rich even richer while giving them a sense of entitlement and a feeling of superiority over the blacks and hispanics. And for years this game has played out, now the powers to be have even taken it up to another level. They are pitting liberal whites and blacks angainst conservative whites and blacks and while we are all trying to one up the other, via Rush L. and others, guess where America’s wealth is heading.
Pensions are going away, a white guy who put my garage door in said that Sears cut his pension and healthcare benefits out to be able to compete, I guess Walmart, Macey’s or Target. I didn’t
know Target repaired refrigerators. Well that is it for me for now folks.
