Obama and Racism

When is the last time you noticed the Senate or the House of Representatives agreeing
by a majority of 98.5%??? I can't remember.

They are an intelligent (for the most part) group of people with diverse backgrounds

Now, lets look at the Black Population. They voted 98.5% for obama. Amazing.
They have the worst unemployment during the obama term at 25%. They are also
getting their "fair share" of 'benefits'.

But they have different levels of education. Have different aspirations. Have different jobs.
They live in cities and rural areas. They have a share of the diminishing middle class. Yet,
they almost voted for obama.

This is also a group of people who constantly complain of being the victims of racism.
Yet, they are, in my opinion,  the most racist group of people in the United States.

It is the black people that see racism in everything. No other group of Americans see
racism as much or as often.

It's my belief that the black people need to emphasize more on getting educated and
less on worrying about racism. They need to be less worried about being 'proud' they are
 'black and beautiful' and more concerned about teaching their children about empathy.

Only empathy will stop the black-on-black killings.

Only empathy will force the community to praise education.

The black people say, "We have one in the White House. We have arrived." That
is a false premise. Only obama arrived. The rest of the black people are 25%
unemployed and 48% dropping out of school and 22% are raising children on welfare as
a way of life. That is not 'arriving'.

It is all about education. Through education, there are choices in life and the possibilities
of getting a job. Education means learning to talk like everyone else. Education means reading
and making decisions for yourself. Education means being able to see through the political lies
 that both sides toss out on a regular basis. Education will be a way to avoid having to join a gang.
Education is something real to be proud of.

And that's the way I see it///
