Blind Sight (Perspectives and Their Consequences)

R.A. Hawkins/ -- Millionaires and the poor have one thing in common and it quite simply is the ability to repeat their results with alarming regularity. In Mexico they have had several land reforms wherein they took from the rich and gave to the poor. Each and every time they did this within a few generations the same families were right back to being haves and have-nots. If one looks at any millionaire these days, and even in the past, one can see that most of them went from rags to riches and back to rags a few times before they managed to keep it and stay on top. Look at the usual winner of any lotto and you'll see the same thing. They had nothing and in a matter of a few years they once again had nothing and were soon in worse shape than they had been in the first place. This is because our perspectives on life have consequences. There is a 'poor' way of thinking, a 'rich' way of thinking and a 'middle-class' way of thinking.

There have been several incidents lately that the liberal media won't touch. I guess I should say the mainstream liberal media. I guess the evil bloggers will have to drive these stories into the mainstream so we can all have a rational discussion. That seems to be the way things get done these days. One incident is the Maryland elections for Lt. Governor. Michael Steele is running for that office and the black Democratic leaders in that state have justified the racially driven smears against him. They see a major problem with him: He isn't a liberal. They yelled 'Uncle Tom' and threw Oreos at him. One blogger from the left painted nice big red lips and frosty white eyebrows on him. They say his views are anti-black. In North Carolina there was an instructor for the N.C. State's Africana Program who said that white people are the problem and they need to be exterminated from the face of the Earth. His name is Kamao Kambon. He said a lot of other things that if a white person said them about any minority they would have been demonized and dragged through the streets. There is one school teacher I saw in the news lately that is suing her school district because when she tried to actually do something about a student she had who was threatening her sexually and with other forms of violence she was fired. She was told that his cursing at her in class and acting the way he does is just 'part of their culture'. I hope she takes these people to the cleaners and gets everyone of them fired.

If there were a white supremist student doing the same thing he would be the one in trouble, and justifiably so. Those who are in power and justify these types of actions aren't helping these people. They are teaching them that black racism is okay and don't worry about the white racism because we've got them under control. What will happen to the kids taught by these jerks? They won't be able to read or write because that didn't matter as much as their feelings. They will be uncivilized and won't be able to get anywhere in life and they'll blame everyone but the people who taught them it was okay to act like that.

To me the most disturbing part of this is that it is so prevalent. Black kids who do well in school get the Michael Steele treatment from their peers. This happens at a time in their lives when fitting in matters the most. So it is a cycle that is very difficult to break. It is obvious that bussing didn't help very much either. We seem to be worse off now than we were when they started bussing. That is because of the people at the top in their organizations.

Let's look at that comment they made as they justified their actions. What is anti-black these days? (Other than those who keep leading them down the same sad paths so many of them are on.) It is an ideology that speaks no longer of racial equality, but of economic equality. Simply put that is communism or socialism. It is obviously no longer about race so much as it is about an economic ideology that always fails. At the top of that pile of noisy malcontents we see rich people who've become fat on their donations. They are the ones who will perpetuate this sad mess.

Here is a simple little rule that we should judge any of these action by: If a white person would get into trouble for it so should a black person. If a media source is afraid to get the discussion out into the open they should from that moment forward be regarded as a major part of the problem. If we don't deal with this problem open and rationally we're going to look like New Orleans did recently. I now look at Katrina as the Cat In The Hat storm. That great big pink stain is now all over the place.

Another place that should be teaching all of us a lesson is France. They've just gone through well over a week of well-organized violence. These rioters are mostly Middle Eastern, but their problems sound somewhat familiar except for that little Jihadist excuse that's so popular over there. I keep expecting to pick up a paper and see that Jacques Chirac has ceded the entire country to them and fled to Elba.
