The “Two-Way” Dialogue

On White and Black Race Relations

(as drafted by Ted Hayes - November 2009)

 

During the dramatic era of the 1964 Congressional Civil Rights Act, Americans had a wonderful awakening to a sincere effort to complete the work of the late unprecedented US President, Abraham Lincoln and the Republican mission from where it left off in 1877!

 

In 1877, due to extreme difficulties to heal a wound that they nor the “new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”, the Republican Party abandoned the epic and noble American quest to complete the citizenship process for the Emancipated slaves.

 

Racial Incidents Exposes The Wound

Since those high emotional days of the 1960’s which included the assassination of the young American social prophet, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the nation has periodically reeled in painful, sometimes hopeful discussion over the horrid conditions and situations of the Emancipated Slaves, i.e. American Black US citizens.

 

For example:    The nation argues this reality constantly.

 

Often, especially since the late 1960’s, like the infectious germs that produces foul body fluids up under the surface of skin, forming an explosive boil, there have been significant incidents between Blacks and Whites that reveals the continuing, ever present un-healed slave-race “wound” in the Soul of “We the People of the United States of America”

 

There is no doubt that Emancipated Slaves being only 11 to 12 % of the national population, have disproportionately led and continue to lead all other ethno-racial groups in America in nearly every negative social statistic, except teen suicide.

 

This imbalanced and tragic accounting obviously has its roots in 97 years of Black Code racial segregation proceeded by over 230 years of chattel slavery.

 

Yet, due to an unfair abundance of a sincere sense of collective remorse-guilt for the deeds of their ancestors and fore-parents against Blacks, White citizens tend to acquiesce into a perplexed and complicated “political correctness” mode which incorrectness leads to national destruction, as evidenced by the election of the Hon. Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States.

 

One-Way Race Lecture

Subsequently, for the last 45 years, whenever any “racial” circumstance arose in America, the subsequent discussion is generally a “one-way” lecture of the "usual suspects" African African "leaders" castigate Whites for their racist attitudes, assigning them full culpability for slavery, Jim Crow-ism, continued institutional racism, and demanding that they correct themselves, etc.

 

Of course, Blacks are excused or exempt from any role, responsibility or accountability in the race-slavery wound as though we are completely righteous in the blood-soaked matter.

* Racial circumstances include certain, primarily violent offenses by Whites against Blacks, such as the Rodney King/LAPD incident, or a perceived anti-Black statement by entertainers such as comedians, sports commentators, radio talk show hosts, and/or politicians; and/or an emotional event such the film “Roots” or the “Color Purple”; and now the election of the 1st African American “Black” US President

 

Another glaring indication of the destructive “one-way” mentality in America that is a strange bias for Blacks, is the fact that we can make racial slurs-commentary and even establishment of certain “Black” entities in business, institutions of learning and generally favor in competition and even politics.

 

The Black Bias

Such phony fawning for “Blacks” is clearly evident in the treatment of former Presidential candidate and now Hon. President Barack Hussein Obama, especially by the media/press.

 

An unprecedented and dangerous environment has developed in America in that, biased hope for his success has intimates fear to sharply criticize or not support him, which is considered racist, while to not support the President makes as Blacks, designates them as so-called  “Uncle Tom” sell-outs.

 

Conjoined Twins

That “the nation may live”, White and Black US citizens must cease their co-mingled states of denial, recognize their conjoined twins status of sharing the same national “internal vital organs”, and finally enter into an honest, “two-way” dialog to heal the slavery-racial “wound” caused by both our ancestors in their respective roles. Please see Empowerment Mood: Conjoined Twins

 

At the HEAL America Campaign “Table of Brotherhood”, each participant asks the “is it I” question of their own specific historical role in the slave trade that brought them both together as one (E Pluribus Unum – “out of many, one”), for better or worse, in the United States of America.

 

A significant portion of the HEAL America Campaign is it’s admonition that the race-slavery discussion must of necessity be civilly conducted as a “two-way” matter, and no longer a one sided castigating lecture, which is evidently self-destructive to American Black and White US citizens alike.
