Can you "OWN" what you CAN'T or WON'T "Protect"??
What if you can't even PROTECT your Child??
John Boehner was signed in to Leadership in the "Hole In The Wall" -- hangout for those Repoobs who dedicate their every breath to "defeating" Obama. MEDIA reported this morning that some "black guy" was found to sign a statement to the effect that "David Duke Without the Baggage" --Boehner's "Third-In-Line" as Speaker of the House of Representatives -- does not have a "racist" bone in his body. That allows Boehner to "wash his hands" of the Duke Crowd? (Kinda makes you wonder who is the black guy, THAT FAMILIAR with Scalise? Wall Street may be struggling today, but the market for Black TOMs (Conservatives(?) is evidently strong among Black Republicans!
In my '72 Master's Thesis, I quoted Frederick Douglass (b. 1818; d. 1895):
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops witout plowing up ground." ..."This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will...Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they must certainly pay for all they get." (pg. 26).
I also quoted Booker T. Washington (b. 1856: d. 1915):
"The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremest folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than artificial forcing." (pg. 27).
Douglass provided support and counsel to President Abraham Lincoln. Washington became a "tool" of white, male, Presidents, who needed "intelligence" regarding "Negroes". His model was quickly copied by black Christian Ministers, who served as "snitches" for Presidents. A friend of the white Rich and Powerful, Washington was not highly regarded by mainstream Blacks. The strain of followers of Washington can be found, today, among Black Conservatives, and include the likes of Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas.
A long list of Black Leaders followed these two men. Those who were alive during my lifetime, include: W.E.B. Dubois (b. 1868; d. 1963); Marcus Garvey (b.1867; d. 1940); A. Phillip Randolph (b. 1889; d. 1979); Malcolm-X (b. 1925; d. 1965); and Martin Luther King Jr. (b.1929; d. 1968).
Exploration of the record of acceptance by Black Citizens, for each of these men, will reveal a path leading to this day, as we face the wanton slaughter of Black Youth on the streets of this country with implicit support of white Leaders in communities around the country, and by Legal Experts who operate as Officers of the Court in our Judiciary. It will be instructive to see the trail of events and persons responsible for our being where we are, in 2015. No Black Leader of the stature of these men has appeared since 1968.
Could it be that too many Blacks today care more for their own financial advancement than they do for the "freedom" for persons who are not white? Many are learning the limits of what the money they chase will provide for them; and we're ALL learning the ease with which White Citizens have brought back many of the worst of their old practices.
Stay Vigilant! "Progress" cannot simply be "defined by the beholder"!
