The problem has always been....RFK wrote the Civil Rights Act of 64. LBJ rewrote the Act, giving "separate rights to blacks", the original law and Act by RFK, called for "equal rights"...its a f'kd up as that.
Read a great speech given by a African-American Professor at Georgetown, documented in the New Republic, back in 82. He spelled out as much, and said, why do we have only black colleges, Grambling, Southern, yet its against the law to have all white colleges.
Another thing I despise, is the nomer-"african American". Most people of this sociological group, are much further removed, up to 10 generations or more, from their motherland. I am a 3rd generation French Canadien, yet you rarely if ever hear me, never introduce myself, as a French Canadien American.
I have a mulatto for a niece as well. I am not a prejudice man. I have more black friends than most people. Their is trash of every nationality and sociological group. Yet, I have seen no other group, teach their kids, to claim and yell, "your picking on me because I am black." I saw this abused first hand in our local schools, when Kim was working for the schools. Any kid could get in a fight on the playground, and if they were white, or mexican, no problem they took their lumps, and write ups to see the Principal. Not black kids, and I'm not generalizing either. All black kids cried foul. As much, I saw it happen on the streets when my brother was a L.A. County Sheriff Deputy. One reason Prisons have a high black population is not due to racial profiling, its a matter of blacks being a higher un-employed group, a more gang banging membership group, a law breaking group, who have the lowest percentage of kids, seeking a higher education, even when College Scholarships loom simply because of the color of their skin.
As much, in High School, a black kid cannot be tested for entry with any literacy testing. A fairly new law, giving this group carte blance to illiteracy.
NO-I am born and raised in America, thus I am an American, first, foremost, and nothing else. My heritage may reside in Quebec, but more-so now in America. To give a improper name, then special separate rights, for a sociological group is flat out wrong.
If so, then lets give our Native American Indians first shot, as they were screwed much more-so than any African Americans. The Indians were here first, and we stole their land. We pillaged and raped their land, destroyed their food supply, all in the name of progress. They were NATIVES...AF-Americans, were not natives to begin with. The Mexicans, well that's another story, sure we took their land too, yet had Santa Ana not of became a cold blooded murder, then perhaps they would still own Caly, AZ, perhaps N.M. too, yet they might as well of forfeited their rights to this land. Besides, a good part of it, was already owned by Napoleon.
If that is to harsh with anyone, then you got your head out of the sand....get a clue. Read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", then tell me you feel dissed.
If one finds offense with this, then shame on you, wake up, don't be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution.
It's ok in this day and age, to worship Farakkan, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the biggest racists since George Wallace, even worse, Louis wanted to kill whitey...!
Go fkn figure...you tell me, ..........
