Historically, American Black US citizens have more
in common with the Tea Party-Conservative-Republican movements
than they do with their Democratic
Party sponsors of recent 46 years.
As
conservatives, Blacks believe in most of the same conservative values that
Patriots in the Tea Party movements adhere to.
According to
certain scientific surveys, statistics demonstrate that while seems
that many
of us Blacks, i.e., Emancipated Slave, Freedmen-Freedmen are not living all the various conservative values
that certain Whites citizens tend to claim as life qualities (family)
uniquely belonging to them,
we nevertheless also desire and aspire to them.
Though apparently
not a quality of ancient Wes Africa, American Judeo-Christian values has
a been a yearning bedrock desire in Blacks since the days of chattel
slavery for 246 years (1619 - 1865 end of the US Civil War), and of the
late Jim Crow era of 99 years (1866 - 1964, passage of the Civil Act).
Such a desire for
conservatism was one of the driving forces behind the racial integration
movement of Black US citizens seeking to live mixed with those who are
White.
We, like anyone
else, including poor Whites, believed that if we could integrate and live around
“White citizens”, instead of our own who were devoid of conservative
values, especially family, we could in turn become more like them and therefore
enjoy improved lifestyles, erroneously called the American Dream.
The Acquired American Dream Image
The driving image of the “big white
house” on the plantation hosting all the warm family trimmings about it,
is deeply rooted-ingrained in the minds of emancipated slaves, which we
call the “…dream deeply rooted in
the American Dream”, was viewed
from the lowest social strata in America known as chattel slavery, and
the destructions of the slave quarters.
* The late Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., leading pro-integrationist or
anti-segregationist figure of the 1960's Civil Right Struggles, while
facing down racist oppression on his epic quest for the Promissory Note
for the Emancipated Slaves-Freedmen, proclaims in his landmark "I Have A
Dream" speech...
"I say to you today, my friends, that in
spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment,
I still have a dream. It is a dream
deeply rooted in the American dream."
It is
this American Dream image of “White citizens” practicing their beautiful
conservative, Judaic-Christian values that we Blacks longed for with a
desperate wish to get out of the forced immoral living conditions, and
be far away from fellows to live with smart, moral "White folk".
"Oh, to
live large like Mr. Charlie..." was our natural ideal of life in
America, because his was the only life of good and apart from slavery
that we knew.
Judeo-Christian, Conservative Family
Structure
Exiled
West African slaves did journey to and arrive in America with the same
Dream of the primarily White European willing-immigrants, but rather a
memory of a yesterday day back on the African continent our then
homeland and the ever growing nightmare before us.
Blacks
knew nothing of nor desired the American Dream until we looked up from
the bowels of oppression at the hands of certain Judeo-Christian, family
valued conservative Whites, and saw it manifested before our very eyes,
and ironically was the major reason for it to actually exist.
A study
of West African culture will reveal that the Judeo-Christian,
conservative values, particularly those of family was not something the
imported chattel slaves desired because we knew nothing of them back on
the continent.
When it
came to family structure, among many other African values, if it could
be afforded, often polygamy was practiced as did many of the ancient
Hebrews.
West
Africans knew nothing of the teachings of the Apostle Paul on the
matters of family values of the now New Testament era of the Hebrew
Scriptures.
However, upon arriving and settling into the slave culture of America,
we began to see and desire that new Judeo-Christian lifestyles, because
we correlated it with FREEDOM, even the freedom to own another human
being as twisted as that was/is.
It is
to be noted that at in the earlier decades of the peculiar chattel slave
institution, that reading of the Bible by slaves was forbidden upon the
pain of death if caught doings so.
Official Christian marriage was also not permitted, as well as what
family conservative family structure did exist did so at the whim of the
slave masters who often would sell off any member of the unit wherever
he deemed it profitable.
Further, certain men and women who were considered the "breeding kind"
were used from plantation to plantation, especially the "buck" males to
promulgate more slave children for profit.
Absolutely no moral values there whatsoever. In fact, for all the
condemnation of savage, un-civilized, African polygamy, this practice
capitalistic breeding human beings was far worse and indeed sinfully
unpleasing to GOD in that human being would be treated like domesticated
farm animals.
By the
free labor of slaves
was used to built the very foundations for the immigrants from Europe to come and
stand-live in America, yet they, the slaves could not partake the Dream of New Nations'
Founding Fathers, but to only to desperately yearn for it.
"I have a dream...deeply rooted in the American Dream"
Therefore, the slave mentality of the American Dream was/is either the
nightmare portion of not having, but rather watching it, or to by some
miraculous means live a large fanciful lifestyle as seen in the dominant
"White citizens".
The same holds true
post-slavery during the notorious Jim Crow era when Democratic
controlled local municipalities, counties, state governments in the
South legislated into law policies of racial discrimination, segregation
by interposition to nullify edicts of the 14th Amendments' 1866
Civil Rights Act.
This rebellious,
un-Constitutional behavior was in order to nullify the Emancipated
slaves-Freedmen the right of access to citizenship “as is enjoyed by
White citizens”.
Yes, the American
Dream was those wonderful, capitalist, property ownership, suburbanite,
Christian church-going conservative values that we in the ghettos of
America longed for and continue to do so.
Conservative Values For Whom?!?
Slaves Were Not Allowed To Practice Them
The plantation owners enacted policies
and later Jim Crow Democrat legislators made laws to keep the
Emancipated Slaves “in their place” either in the slave quarters of
chattel slavery and/or ghettos of racial segregation, etc.
The White supremacist not only refused
to allow Blacks to be taught Christian conservative values
and develop them, but they also encouraged immoral, anti-western family
behavior, such as "bucking and breeding" designed to be passed down through the generations to the
present time and yet to come.
It is a miracle of
GOD that the Black family structure developed at all and survived as
long and as well as it has, given the relentless Democrat-socialist
attack upon the it, especially since the passage of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act with deliberate implementation of devastating socialist
values.
It appears that what
was thought to be a good remedy of socialist values for what was/is ailing the Freedmen, has
essentially turned out to be a fatal concoction designed to wreck havoc
on Black families that now plagues them today, including federal
government socialistic programs such as: welfare, abortion, and
promotion of contagious, denigrating, erotic entertainment into the
minds of the youths.
The Spooks By The Door, Black Flight and
Brain Drain
In fact, it is this intense yearning for
the American Dream of conservative values, that caused the “black brain
drain”, “Black flight” from Black communities by financially successful
Emancipated Slaves-Freedmen whom I call "spooks by the door" of racial
integration.
Theses "spooks" were/are Blacks who were
fortunate enough to be personally upward mobile, having more assets,
money, education, outside or integrated connections, etc, than other
folks in the ghettos. Being jealous of them, we often called these
families or individuals "uppity Negroes", yet we somehow needed them in
our midst to remind us that there is a better life to strive for.
Therefore, immediately upon passage of
the Congressional 1964 Civil Rights Act banning racial segregation, the
“spooks by the door” understandably quickly left the Black communities
in search of refuge among civil, upward mobile White descendants of
willing immigrants unaffected by the self-destructive practices
caused by generations of slavery and racial discrimination.
To this day,
Freedmen who begin to prosper via capitalistic ventures of fiscal
conservatism etc., leave “Black community” as soon as possible, fleeing
from Blacks in search of the White, middle, upper middle class or even
rich American Dream of White folks. Ask Rev. Wright!
Even successful
Hip-Hop Rap artist, with all their anti-American, anti-establishment,
Black Power rhetoric also leave the hood only to return to visit and
perhaps show-off their "bling."
When the "spooks"
left us, all we had for our children to emulate and aspire to were the
"Four P's", that is, the Preacher, Politician, Pimp, Pusher. The
worst of these was and is the Preacher. Since the days of the
slave quarters and probably before then, the religious leaders, i.e.,
the African shaman, and later, the Christian Preachers, ministers,
pastors, Reverends, etc., are worse than than the slave traders,
politicians, pimps, pushers, gangsters.
Republican Abandonment
The 1964 Civil Right Act, in good
historic fashion dating back the notorious 1877 Compromise, led to the
Emancipated Slaves being once again abandoned by the
conservative-Republican elements to the viciousness of the un-sheeted,
“suit and tie, G-Q wearing-”, disguised KKK, White supremacists
primarily of the Democratic Party and its Marxist-socialist agents.
The last great
conservative Republican who stood up for the Black Emancipated
Slaves-Freedmen US citizens was the late President Dwight David
Eisenhower's use of the 1866 Civil Rights Act in Little Rock Arkansas in
1957.
Even though
Republican-conservatives actually made the winning difference in the
1964 Civil Rights Bill to Act, for some mysterious reason they refused
to claim the victory opting to ironically allow the former slave
masters, Jim Crow, racist, socialist-liberal Democrats to steal the
righteous legacy which has left Blacks in the danger that we now face as
nation.
The Tea Party To The Rescue
In light of this reality and the latent
conservative values desires suppressed in the soul of Blacks in America,
it now morally behooves the Tea Party-conservative-Republican leaders
and spokespersons begin re-addressing, freeing and ushering them into
the American Dream mindset that their adherents in the movements
experience.
We must find Tea
Party, conservative, Republican architects of human development who can
construct and implement successful non-big government socialist programs
for a people entrapped in generations of unredeemed slavery and
legislated civil oppression, upon whose backs this New Nation of
immigrants was built.
It is time that
leaders of the these conservative movements encourage their participants
to transcend personal struggles for financial values and begin including
in their rhetoric, policies, objectives and activisms, that positively
affects the dire concerns of those whom have been traditionally viewed
as the opposite of Tea Party, Conservative, Republicans, i.e. Blacks and
the poor peoples of the lowest strata of American society.
One significant way
to begin this outreach, is to proclaim the fact that Tea Party
movements, etc, and Blacks have both are against all forms of illegal
immigration civilian invasion of the United States. See
From this
standpoint, we can begin other unifying discussions concerning our
common yearnings to breathe conservative values in a free American Dream
New Nation, implementing ideals that adequately addresses needs of both
American White and Black US citizens.
