Black Prejudice, Black Racism, and Truth

Black Prejudice, Black Racism, and Truth

What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races.

Furthermore, I am not nor ever have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the black and white races—that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with White people.

I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the White and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. . . . there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the White race.

Those are not my words nor the words of David Duke nor of George Wallace. They are the words of the Great Emancipator, our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln as quoted on a distinctly anti-Lincoln website posing as a Civil War site: http://www.civilwarhistory.com/_/lincoln/Abraham%20Lincoln%20on%20Race.htm.

For the purposes of this article, I have no reason but to accept the veracity of those quotations since, one, they jibe with other Lincoln pronouncements and, two, why would they lie?

More relevant is the question of how well Honest Abe was able to foresee the future of the United States a century and a half down the line when all of his fears were fulfilled, and then some.

Was a separation of the two races a sensible and realistic aim?

Was effecting the “social and political equality of the black and white races” in America either a practicable or a reasonable goal? Was granting rights to African Americans to sit on juries, hold public office, and intermarry wise and intelligent? Was ceding to them “social and political equality” a surrender of White “superior position?”

More to the point, have any of our altered social views, constitutional amendments, bias and hate crime laws, concessions, and affirmative actions made an appreciable difference in the essential quality of Black-White relations in our country?

I think not but to even suggest that failure is to invite pummeling, figurative and literal assaults by the forces of racial political correctness who seek to accomplish racial harmony by sheer force of will. To even contest that harmony today is to invite charges of a vicious racism.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Wishing and hoping rarely change reality. We are still a racist society, a Black racist society now, which allegation will surely evoke the most vociferous attacks. It’s yet a fact of American life though few dare state it.

I’m not suggesting that race relations in America have not improved over the last few decades but I am suggesting that the improvement has been more pro forma than substantive. It has also been a one-way street with Whites conceding to Black demands and Blacks simply demanding, and getting, more concessions.

As but one example of those concessions and after much debate, Whites caved to Black insistence and agitation and threats by establishing Martin Luther King Day, the only national holiday honoring an individual American.

Furthermore, almost eight months after the election of The Great Black Hope, there is little concrete evidence that attitudes of African-Americans have changed in any notable way. I do not suggest, either, that those attitudes are held by a majority of Blacks, although Barack Obama’s win does reflect a majority.

I further assert that those attitudes must undergo significant change before there can be any true racial conciliation. The fact that 96% of Blacks voted for Obama indicates that what we had on November 4th was in truth an election won mainly due to Black bias.

Voting for a candidate because of his race is no less an exercise in racism than voting against a candidate due to his skin color and runs counter to Rev. Martin Luther King’s injunction against racism and in favor of judging people by the content of their character.

(Worth the consideration of the reader is the article by a Black American, “Back on America’s Plantatation” on the very questionable value of liberal government programs to “help” poor Blacks: http://townhall.com/columnists/StarParker/2009/02/09/back_on_uncle_sams_plantation)

And, please don’t say people voted for Obama over McCain based on the character of a candidate no one really knew as opposed to a guy who had proven his character and guts!

Outside the South, almost 50% of Whites cast their ballots for a Black man, (86% in D.C.), and he won 30.2% of White southern votes, (including 42% of Floridians and 39% of Virginians): http://allotherpersons.wordpress.com/tables-outside-the-south-obama-gets-almost-half-of-the-white-vote/.

The matter is indisputable: Blacks are the racists in the United States of America. . . .
