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 From African
Americans To US "White citizens"
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.
