J. J. Johnson, the editor/publisher of "Sierra Times," wrote an excellent editorial recently about the problems with being black in this country today and in a more recent issue, wrote another excellent one about the "attitude" problem involved.
But the problems with being black today are not the same as they were in, say, 1958. Today, the biggest problem with being black is that so-called "black leaders such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Kwesi Mfume of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are busily "whipping up" more and more racism to make money. And it is made easier by the fact that the government is aiding and abetting them in their scam. This in order to further divide the American people into small groups who spend more time fighting among themselves than paying attention to the scams that are being run on them by the criminals running the government.
Clinton talks about "the race problem" like it was something that had increased in recent years instead of something that has decreased measurably. Of course, calling it a "problem" is the same as calling it a "crisis" for the purposes of the power seekers, of which he is definitely one. Under the Hegelian Principle, which is the major scam the power seekers have always used to increase their power, the first thing you do is either create a crisis. or blow an existing one up way out of proportion. Then you publicize the "crisis," making sure there is something in the media about it every day, day after day, until people start demanding a "solution." Then you offer a solution that takes away one or more rights and usually increases the taxes we all must pay. That "solution" allows them to do things that they would not have been able to do without the previous conditioning provided by use of the Hegelian Principle. This is how they get most of their cons approved by their victims.
But this is not about the Hegelian Principle. It is about being black in a country that used to be segregationist by law, but is no more. True, there are some people who still think the way their fathers and grandfathers did, but since it is no longer "segregation by law," they have to suppress it within themselves and say nothing when more and more high-ranking officers in both business and government turn up to be black, and not only black, black women. The best part is this kind of thinking is dying out with these "old-timers."
Mr. Johnson aptly points out that people like Jackson, Sharpton, and Mfume are "professional race-baiters" and are playing into the hands of the power seekers by helping to divide us.
Did you know that the NAACP is now suing gun manufacturers to "get their piece of the pie?" Of course, this completely ignores the fact that the only reason many more black people were not killed in the early part of this century is because the NAACP armed itself and went to the defense of black people who were "at risk" of being abused and killed by the Klan. Many times the Klan came out in force, only to be turned back by the well-armed blacks of the NAACP. So now they're saying guns are bad -- except when they use them to defend themselves. But they hope you've forgotten that or never knew it.
On the economic front: it's not the whites that are saying blacks can't compete with whites without having an advantage, it's people like Jackson, Sharpton, and Mfume. That's an insult to the very people they pretend to represent. Today, if we just pledge to ignore the skin color, the sex, the nationality, and any other factor in hiring and in other areas, we don't need affirmative action, which is not "leveling the playing field," but slanting it in favor of minorities. In other words, creating another minority, the white person.
Now I know there are going to be some who will write a "knee-jerk" criticism of this column and call me a racist for saying the things I've said. But let me say this: I judge people as individuals, not by the group to which they belong. If more people would do that, we'd have a lot less trouble. Martin Luther King said the same thing in different words. He talked about "being judged, not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character." I don't just judge black people by that method, I judge all people that way.
Mr. Johnson said: "Let me put it bluntly: You can't pass a law to make people like you! You can't tax people into liking you! You can't sue people into liking you! And all these so-called black leaders are doing is pissing off more non-racist white people every day! It's that kind of "black" attitude that I want nothing to do with and is making a lot of us "no prefix" Americans sick!
"You won't find too many white people who'll say that openly. No one wants to be "tarred and feathered" with the "racist" label. I'll say it, and you can call me whatever you want."
I'm white. But I'll stand "shoulder-to-shoulder" with J. J. Johnson and say it, too. And if you think that makes me a racist, then call me one and be damned. I'm not a racist, but I believe that white people ought to have the same rights as minorities. That doesn't happen under affirmative action. But that's not what people like Jackson and his ilk are preaching. They're preaching a new "separation" of the races with the minorities on top. This will not work any better than the system with the whites on top worked. "Calypso Louie" Farrakhan, another race-baiter, openly preaches the separation of the races. He wants to create a separate country peopled only by black people.
And yes, I "judge" people. In spite of the fact that the power seekers demand that we not "judge" and not "be judgmental." Of course, this is impossible because each of us must judge every person and every situation with which we come in contact. That's the only way we can decide how to interact with them. To be "non-judgmental" is silly, and it promotes lack of responsibility for anybody. One of today's scams is using that very lack of "judgmentalism" they're creating as a means to deny everybody's right to demand accountability from our peers. But that's another column.
Mr. Jackson talks about being "labeled" as "anti-government" if you have the audacity to complain about the loss of the rights of black and white alike. Well, I'm one who complains, and I'm not "anti-government." I am "anti-criminals in government." But as you might imagine, that means nothing to those criminals (power seekers) in our government who use labels to avoid arguing real issues because they know they would lose.
I've been studying the scams and schemes the power seekers use to control us and make more and more restrictive laws and regulations for years. I've been able to reduce their schemes to a small number of scams they use on us over and over again. That's what this column is all about: showing you those scams and explaining them so you can recognize them from a mile away, as I do. That way you won't fall for them and approve your own enslavement.
