The government has been trying to destroy African Americans since 1865 and has never really stopped. There have been times when the assault has been slowed, but it has never really stopped. With Hurricane Katrina many saw the major problem as looting – not people dying, stranded and starving. The fact that some people believe property is more important than human life is insane. Then their were the rumors of murders and shooting – this was the focus, yet more people drowned, starved or died from heat stroke than were killed, beaten or raped during this tragedy. The good ole’ system wants to demonize an entire group of people because of the color of their skin.

I know you don’t want to hear this and might not care or even want to begin to consider that perhaps the way you view the world is a bit backward, but if you can take an objective look you’ll see that the crimes committed against black people did not stop in 1965, 1985, 1995 or 2005. Police shoot us even when we are not guilty of anything and are unarmed, and they never get charged. We get longer jail sentences than others for identical crimes. Since slavery we have never been compensated or given a chance to compete on a level playing field. They gave us affirmative action only to have it include white women, who get the lion’s share of the benefits. The only area where we can compete on a semi-level playing field is sports, and they have drafted legislation to prevent that at the high school and college level. So the next time you feel black people are whining, look at it from our point of view and ask: Why do they give us a reason to whine? Why do they legislate in that manner? Why do they get shot 41 times on their front porch? Why are they violated in police stations with broomsticks? Why, when they say something’s racist, are they made to look foolish, regardless of how true it is?

We see things a bit different because we have experience with this governemnt, which allows us to see through the smoke screen/spin/ fluff/ bull.
