White America Fails Black Communtiy? : "Buchanan to Obama"

Whether this is really from Mr Buchanan is left to the reader, but it does have the ring of plausibility in that Mr Obama rarely has called up the black community to take responsibility for it's own consequences of inaction. He is seen as pointing mostly to other outside influences for failures.

 

But then why should the black community take responsibility for it's actions when the ultimate black leader, Mr Obama, never takes responsibility for anything he does. It's always some other condition or group that is at fault.

 

It's no wonder the black community is in disarray. Who's leading the black community? Who's standing up on the floor of congress to take responsibility to lead? Who's standing in crowd advocating for taking responsibility for ones actions?

 

It seems it's always easier to blame others for inaction. Taking responsibility when trying to know what action will actually work, and then having the intestinal fortitude to do something to solve a problem is extreme difficult. No one wants to be responsibly for failure. No congressman or senator wants to seen as leaving the confines of acceptable beltway wisdom. A Washington community failure.

 

Little wonder then why the United States Senate and Mr Obama are never seen as responsible. Little wonder then as well why our economy and our government are total failures.

 

BUCHANAN TO OBAMA By Patrick J. BuchananBarack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances, and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
 

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

 

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.  We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude? 

 

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?  Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
 

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?  Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?  We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena.  And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
