Selma to Ferguson…How Far Have We Come?

Nobody’s Opinion

I watched the big Obama Selma speech on Saturday…and then watched C-Span’s old reel reruns of the March to the Alabama Capitol.

So, how far have we come in 50 years in race relations? About two blocks, back. Thanks to Obama.

We have a black President, the richest women in the United States is a black women, and blacks fill the halls of Congress. Blacks now get free educations, free medical care, but they STILL have the highest unemployment level of all the races.

The whites and the blacks are farther apart than they’ve ever been, and that’s because of the culture that they love

Affirmative action has given many blacks the opportunity to rise to high levels in government while many whites were forced to step aside, because of no sin of their own, and because they were white.

Affirmative action was a bitter pill to swallow for the whites who never committed the crimes of their ancestors. But there is was: Law.

Here where I live, not far from Ferguson, more blacks drive big SUV’s than not. More blacks have houses than not. And yet, go into the city and you will still see the poor blacks.

The rhetoric in the speeches from 1965 and today, are still the same old same old, “Police brutality, voting rights, blacks are oppressed.” etc— bundle of the usual, it was interesting to note, on the bloody Sunday celebration in Selma, that Obama didn’t really talk about that. Why? He’s been talking about it his whole Presidency. Why hold back at Selma?

If the “poor’ and oppressed blacks wanted to hear Obama speak, I don’t think they were allowed in. It was a small crowd. It looked as if only the rich made it to that speech. The black Caucus were there. There were expensive IPADS, IPHONES, in other words, blacks with a lot of money got to go, no doubt, it cost them.

BIG difference from that crowd and the one that marched in Selma in 1965.

And then you noticed–two white people looking very scared on stage:  X-President George W. and his wife Laura.

They looked like two little white parrots that were dropped inside a den of hungry wolves.

Obama treated George W. Bush, and his wife Laura, like they weren’t even there. In fact, the NYT excluded them out of the picture as they walked across the bridge. Could that be any more disrespectful?

Why in the world did they invite him, and why in the world did he go?

And where was Bill Clinton? Or Jimmy Carter? You tell me.

Obama’s actual speech was less about black relations, and more about trying to pound in the new progressive propaganda points: which is the new America will NOT be white. He cleverly left out that Muslims and Hispanics will outnumber blacks in his speech, but if you know history that Obama was trying to rewrite: –America was made by mostly white European men, and that history is slowly being smashed into the new mantra of: We have ALWAYS been integrated.

Sure we have. But we have mostly been white, and Obama cannot stand that fact. And I believe, that’s the part he hates about America…it’s whiteness. He can’t wait for us all to die out.

Obama’s speech could have been made by a Republican to unit his people, that’s how unlike him it was:

---

“Look at our history. We are Lewis and Clark and Sacajawea, pioneers who braved the unfamiliar, followed by a stampede of farmers and miners, and entrepreneurs and hucksters. That’s our spirit. That’s who we are.

“We are Sojourner Truth and Fannie Lou Hamer, women who could do as much as any man and then some. And we’re Susan B. Anthony, who shook the system until the law reflected that truth. That is our character.

“We’re the immigrants who stowed away on ships to reach these shores, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free –- Holocaust survivors, Soviet defectors, the Lost Boys of Sudan. We’re the hopeful strivers who cross the Rio Grande because we want our kids to know a better life. That’s how we came to be. (Applause.)

(Notice…how he makes it sound as if people did not apply for citizenship..just came here however.)

“We’re the slaves who built the White House and the economy of the South. (Applause.) We’re the ranch hands and cowboys who opened up the West, and countless laborers who laid rail, and raised skyscrapers, and organized for workers’ rights.

“We’re the fresh-faced GIs who fought to liberate a continent. And we’re the Tuskeegee Airmen, and the Navajo code-talkers, and the Japanese Americans who fought for this country even as their own liberty had been denied.

“We’re the firefighters who rushed into those buildings on 9/11, the volunteers who signed up to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. We’re the gay Americans whose blood ran in the streets of San Francisco and New York, just as blood ran down this bridge. (Applause.)

(Okay, I missed the blood running in the streets of San Francisco. Guess I was paying too much attention to the blood running in my North County St. Louis neighborhood.)

“We are storytellers, writers, poets, artists who abhor unfairness, and despise hypocrisy, and give voice to the voiceless, and tell truths that need to be told.

Is this a call out to rap?

I don’t know. What I did notice is he left out praise for the policeman.

“Laws can be passed,” he said to further equalized the blacks. And then he started in on the right to vote. Yes, blacks are being kept from voting. Uh…who knew? They voted for Obama, all 95 percent of them. More backs voted in 2008 than whites. And yet, he kept bantering for a new right to vote law, blacks are being kept from the voting.

Showing an ID is an insult to all people who want to vote, basically is the argument.

This is all about getting the illegal’s to vote, and everyone knows that.

If in America you don’t have to show an ID to vote, well, then what’s the point? Just call up Russia and send them some ballots.

It’s absurd. It’s illegal. It’s against the law, and that’s Obama, isn’t it?

So, after 50 years, what’s the difference between Selma and Ferguson?  Quite a lot. We have a lawless President who is leading a lawless race of people into their own hell.

Blacks didn’t kill each other in Selma. The police did NOTHING wrong in Ferguson. The mobs were the blacks.

You want a real bloody Sunday? Go for a walk in any one of our cities in the black neighborhoods on a Saturday night.

Thousands are shot dead by…other blacks.

That’s the REAL bloody crime in America. We have a bloody Chicago that makes the Mafia look like a small note in Chicago’s murder history. And the policemen are getting the blame.

It’s disgusting.

The urban cities are a joke. Detroit. Chicago. St. Louis, Atlanta. Even when they are run by black mayors they are cesspools of the democratic corruption. The poor stay poor, and a lot of black politicians get rich. Blaming the white man for their misery is just getting old.

The blacks in the past had a Constitutional right to complain.

They don’t anymore.

It’s been 50 years of free handouts to the blacks, who have done nothing but whine.

The democrats have kept them on the plantation, ready to excite their dogs into rabid riots for the sake of power. They keep them in poor schools, and promote the rap culture to fill them with hatred. They promote drug use to keep them in line.

It’s time they stood up to the real slave masters: It’s not the police that are the enemies of the black people

It’s the man who is building his own police state. And his name is Barack.

And by the way…he wants the whole world to think….he’s “black.”

His white mother was just some kind of mistake.
