 Brief for Whitey
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Friday, March 21, 2008

How would he pull it off?  I wondered.

How would Barack explain to his press groupies why he sat silent in a pew for 20 years
as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered racist rants against white America for our maligning
of Fidel and Gadhafi, and inventing AIDS to infect and kill black people?

How would he justify not walking out as Wright spewed his venom about
"the U.S. of K.K.K. America," and howled, "God damn America!"

My hunch was right. Barack would turn the tables.

Yes, Barack agreed, Wright's statements were "controversial," and "divisive," and
"racially charged," reflecting a "distorted view of America."

But we must understand the man in full and the black experience out of which the
Rev. Wright came: 350 years of slavery and segregation.

Barack then listed black grievances and informed us what white America must do
to close the racial divide and healthe country.

The "white community," said Barack, must start "acknowledging that what ails the
African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that
the legacy of discrimination -- and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt
than in the past -- are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds ... ."

And what deeds must we perform to heal ourselves and our country?

The "white community" must invest more money in black schools and communities,
enforce civil rights laws, ensure fairness in the criminal justice system and provide
this generation of blacks with "ladders of opportunity" that were "unavailable" to
Barack's and the Rev. Wright's generations.

What is wrong with Barack's prognosis and Barack's cure?

Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been
running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots inHarlem, Watts, Newark,
Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, "everybody but the rioters themselves."

Was "white racism" really responsible for those black men looting auto dealerships
and liquor stories, and burning down their own communities, as Otto Kerner said --
that liberal icon until the feds put him away for bribery.

Barack 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 freedomand prosperity blacks have ever known.

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 time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement
and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is thegratitude?

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 criminalschoose 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.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

Mcain all the way. Good post!

PS Rev Wright isnt a reverend, at least not to the standards of the church.
Love everyone, Mr. Wright, or should I say Mr. Wrong.

Check out this black minister with a different view of Obama

Yep, it's a sad situation.

Wow, this is what makes me laugh everyday. To hear black people cry about racism when they are the first ones to dish it out. Racism will never end in this country. It a  waste of time and money to fight it. When there is a billion dollar rap industry running on racism, who do you think is going to stop? Not the government getting taxes on all of those albums.

I couldn't care less who is racist and what they think or believe, everyone is brought up differently. But to say someone is born trashy because of what their father is married to? Thats just plain ignorant and it truley shows your stupidity. I think those that listen and believe that should just be locked up in their little chaples and left there to preach to themselves.

I think Obama is a tool, Hilary is just a Bitttttch and Bill will just get anothe runfair term in office, and the rest are only running for president so they can get picked up for vice-president. We're going to be in the shittter for a while I think.

 Where is James Earl Ray when you need him. :o

  The democrats cant even have a front runner... I say they forfeit ::)

We need a change lets vote for Ralph Nader, everyone else sucks except for Ron Paul.
Maybe that would be a good ticket. Nader/Paul!!!!!!! 8)

Is the Rio Grande showdown going to be air on pay view?

I hope the powers to be dont lock it.There has been way to many threads locked or removed lately in my opinion.

That is because we earn opinion points with the each post we have. The more opinion points the more you can voice your thoughts.

It's those people with insufficiant opinion points that are ruining it for the rest of us.

lol  that is funny right there.
