As we celebrate the national birthday holiday for Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., I can’t help but to ponder what he would say about the
current state of Black America specifically,
and America in general.
I am sure he would be livid at how white liberal’s
handpicked Black “leaders” have been bought and paid for by them and their
radical agendas; like the radical homosexual and transgendered movements, the
promotion of foreigners and illegals taking jobs from Americans, and the total
mismanagement and political liberalization of our HBCUs.
HBCUs are fastly being taken over by the
radical homosexual and transgendered movements and other radical liberal
doctrines like feminism.
King, a Morehouse graduate, would disown his alma mater
if he were here today.
Let me refer you to a column I wrote back in 2005 titled,
“Letter
to Dr. King.” This is one of my best pieces of writing
in my more than twenty years of being a columnist.
Unfortunately, things for Blacks have gotten worse since
the death of Dr. King.
I don’t get into arguments on whether Dr. King was
Republican or not; I think it is totally irrelevant. I focus only on
what we know, his public record.
And what we know is Dr. King didn’t take a bullet to his
head for the media appointed Black leaders to be bought off by white liberals
and white feminists.
Dr. King didn’t give up his life to promote the radical
liberal homosexual and transgendered agenda.
Dr. King fought for Blacks in America, not “people of
color.” He wasn’t asking for special treatment; he was asking for
equal treatment.
The U.S. Constitution had already guaranteed Blacks equal
rights; the laws simply were not being enforced. Blacks were not
asking to have special rights created for them, like the homosexuals; they were
saying, enforce the law.
I find it astonishing that the Democrat candidates for
president have been allowed by liberal Blacks to conflate the radical liberal
homosexual agenda, amnesty for illegals, and feminism into a modern-day Civil
Rights agenda.
These candidates have not once discussed the breakdown of
the Black family because of liberal social engineering, i.e. welfare from the
sixties; there has been no discussion of Black entrepreneurship; or not one
word uttered about the state of HBCUs.
But let one illegal kid die in ICE’s custody and the
whole liberal world loses its collective mind; but when twenty babies are
killed in one weekend of violence in places like Chicago or Baltimore, these
same liberals get a severe case of laryngitis.
These white liberals have forced their sycophant Black
followers to aggressively promote their radical homosexual, transgender, and
feminist agenda; despite the fact that Black homosexuals,
transgenders, and feminists face more racism within these radical groups than
they do in mainstream society.
Liberals are by far the most racist group in the entire
U.S.; just look at liberal Hollywood as exhibit A.
King was singularly focused on equal opportunity for
Blacks based on the Constitution; not equal outcome.
King did not have a problem with segregation or
segregated neighborhoods. He had a problem with Blacks being denied
the opportunity to move to a white neighborhood solely based on their skin
color.
King would not be concerned with how few Blacks are
coaching in professional sports like the NFL or NBA; or how few Blacks were in
their league offices; or how few Blacks own franchises.
He would be more concerned about why Blacks continue to
financially support entities like this and why Blacks continue to work under
these conditions knowing that they have the real power in this relationship.
Blacks make up about 70% of all players in both the NFL
and NBA. But yet these players have said and done nothing to
effectuate change regarding the lack of diversity within management and
ownership. Colin Kaepernick has laryngitis when it comes to this
issue and his knees seem incapable of bending for an issue like this.
As I say, weak people take strong positions on weak
issues!!!
Other groups stay singularly focused on the issues that
affect their respective communities. When do you hear Asians or
Hispanics talking about people of color?
Blacks are the only group that make other people’s issues
their issues, with absolutely no reciprocity.
King would be appalled at this behavior by these quasi
Black leaders.
King was not a global leader, but rather, he was a Black
leader in America who had a global impact. There is a big difference
between being a global leader and a leader that impacts the globe!
You have cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit that
have been run by liberal Democrats for generations uninterrupted and Blacks
have been devastated by these liberal policies.
Where are the holy cries of righteous indignation from
Black leaders?
Blacks are being told that Susie has two mommies and
Johnny has two daddies; and we wonder why Black on Black crime is off the
charts?
Black women are being told by white feminists that they
don’t need a man to help raise their children; even though they needed a man to
make those same children.
You only dream when you are sleep. It’s high
time for Blacks to wake up and rekindle the dream; and that dream has to start
with getting back to our conservative values in the Black community and to once
and for all reject the insidious radical liberalism that has nearly destroyed
the Black community.
Conservatives, herein lies your opportunity to
engage with the Black community!
