POLITICS - Pat Buchanan's Message to Barack

[Montanan]

Pat Buchanan is one of the few in the media who has the gonads to tell it like it is, i.e., no political correctness here. My hope is that you are not offended.




A Brief for Whitey by Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted 03/21/2008 ET

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 freedom and 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 supp ort soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

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 criminals choose 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.

[O.S.O.K.]

Well I personally agree 100% with Pat.

America is as close to a colorblind society as can be had IMHO.

It is time to get over it and focus on things like personal responsibility.

Listen to Bill Cosby and other black leaders (the real ones) that understand that all of this victimization stuff holds people down and fosters racism.

I was victimized by quotas and left a company because of it. But I rarely if ever speak of it - just not important. I found a way/made a way to be successful in spite of that BS. The way I look at it, it was that company's loss that I left.

This is how all Americans should look at the situation - regardless of their race.


There is no way no how that I would ever vote for Barak Hussein Obama and it has nothing to do with his race or ethnicity.

If Condi Rice for example were running for POTUS, I'd be behind her 110%

[sore shoulder]

Once again proud to have voted for Pat. I have written a couple of papers, and given one speech this semester concerning the marginalization of my culture by todays out of control PC and racist society.

[Jaguarundi]

Pat hit the nail on the head.I agree that If Condi Rice were running for POTUS, I'd be behind her 110% also.

[Grizz]

condi rice? you'd want condi rice for the president?

o puleeeeeeze !

for pities sake, she's just like powell, she's a state department policy wonk who right now is trying to engineer the destruction of Israel's sovereignty. is that what y'all want to vote for?

Israel is surrounded by a billion, A BILLION PLUS muslims who've sworn to destroy Israel, and right now rice is trying to help 'em do it!

president of dog crappers maybe, but not president of America

[Grizz]

I like Pat when he gets it going, and he's got it going on this one. I'm 100 percent in agreement.

I saw some black intelluctuals discussing their situation and one of them stated that taken as a whole, blacks in America are the seventh wealthiest group of people on the planet.

So I have to ask, is their goal to have it all?

[tman]

if he would run i would vote for him. i may not agree with all the time, but out of the current current crop of candidates. i'd trust him the most to lead our country

[bj94]

Here is what I think-
1) Some of the black leaders are the most racist people around.
2) Most white people are NOT racist at all.
3) Some white people don't like black people, but then I'm white and some white people don't like me either, so that's not racism.
4) The black people that focus on positive things and moving forward accomplish a lot more than the black people that focus on negativity.
