What is the RESPONSIBILITY of BLACKS??
I first learned of our National Response to RACE, in the mid-Fifties, with the SCOTUS Ruling of "Brown v. Board". White America was in no mood to take that Ruling, "lying Down". Eisenhower, reportedly registered his Racial Bias to the Decision by having "Under God" added to our National Allegiance. The BAD APPLE, then, and since, was NIXON! Seizing on the Post-War, national shift to the Hard Right within the Republican Party, Nixon, as Vice-President , became a "McCarthyite" and a Racial, "Red-Baiter". Reagan, joined those forces, providing aid and support from his position within Hollywood's Screen Actor's Guild. Both Nixon and Reagan, moved deeper to the Right and deeper toward RACISM as they gained political power. During the Eisenhower Years, South Carolina was, undisputedly, the Most Racist of the Southern States; a place where every Republican Candidate for President had to go to get his "Race-Stripe" of approval. It remains so, today.
Jeb Bush, who signed "Stand Your Ground" into LAW; was headed for South Carolina yesterday, to get his "Stripe", when the NEWS broke of the Church Murders in Charleston. A second white male, this one only 21 years old, has been caught, in Charleston, Murdering unarmed Blacks. Jeb turned tail! Small wonder, given the tragic trail produced by "Stand Your Ground" , and the young Blacks who have been Murdered in its name!
The MEDIA hastens to deem these white males "Sick". That tactic shift away their Responsibility, and has worn thin: --- its White Society that is "Sick". Sick with their own, personal, Racism, that every candidate running on the Republican Ticket for 2016 KNOWS is there; and very artfully appeals to. Trump is better at Race-Baiting than Jeb, or Boehner, or McConnell, or any of the many "Lilliputians" who have declared, and are rumored to declare, on the Republican Ticket.
This young white Murderer, reportedly, uttered the words "Take Back Our Country": a phrase coined by the Tea Party, on the Republican Right.
Even Southern Blacks should realize that GOD can't protect those who WILL NOT Protect Themselves!! Leaving that job to "Massa", while the Black Folks "Prays All Day", won't work in the 21st Century! Black and Brown Citizens must learn that Submissiveness invites more Trauma! Frederick Douglass told us that hundreds of years ago!
Stay Vigilant! Don't expect Hannity, or Limbaugh, or McConnell, or Boehner, to change course! They're too close to their PRIZE: the White House in 2016! Citizens have to find a way to break the grip of the NRA! The Country might SAVE $Trillion's, in the process. Speak UP! Speak OUT!
