A different point of view.

[midnight Target]

My wife's friend sent her this e-mail. I think it is mostly crap, but it is a good reminder of how people on the other side of the fence view the world.

1. The first Americans or Native Americans going back to 13,000 BC were black! Look up the Folsom people who lived in Arizona .



 2. One of the best reasons to stop our use of the term African American and say Black. A white person who was born in Africa , who moves to America is An African American and qualifies for financial aid,
etc., but will get the jobs/pay privileges afforded to whites.



3. Look up the Slavery Law of 1665 (which stayed in effect until 1968 and the Maryland Doctrine of Exclusion (1638): both laws state that blacks must be excluded from the benefits afforded whites, and that
blacks must remain noncompetitive with whites, except in sports and entertainment.



4. Two white men: Bill Gates and Larry Elision, combined have more wealth than the combined wealth of all 36 million blacks in America.  Civil Rights did not change the economic landscape or the balance
of power in America .



5. Asians received 80% of all government minority set aside contracts.  Hello!!



6. Blacks eat more fish than whites by a 4 to 1 margin. For every dollar that whites spend on fish, blacks spend $9 on fish. Fish sold wholesale for $1 will retail at $2.50 - $3.00. Guess what business we should
be in as Blacks?



7. There isn't any black owned national cable, or major network television stations. Cathy Hughes, the black woman who owns our only black owned radio stations, plans to sell to white owners after hearing
 the deal Bob Johnson received for selling BET. (Cathy Hughes is from OMAHA y'all!)



8. There are no black owned companies on the Wall Street Stock Exchange; where blacks own the majority or controlling interest of the stock.



9. Ninety-six percent (96%) of all black inmates are men.



10. Over the next two years 440,000 black inmates will be released from prison. The State has no place to put them as they re-enter society. A profitable business would be a Halfway house!



11. In 1860, 98% of all Blacks in America worked for White people.  In 2001, 98% of all Blacks in America still work for white people.



12. In 1860, blacks in America had a combined net worth of one half of 1 percentage point. Guess what, in 2001, after Civil Rights, Jesse Jackson, Oprah, Shaq, NAACP, and Urban League, our combined net
worth is half a percentage point.



13. For every dollar earned by a Jewish person, that dollar touches 12 to 18 Jewish hands before it leaves their community. For every dollar earned by a black person it leaves the community soon as he or she
earns it. (this is why our communities goes bankrupt every night!!)



14. The last week of April 2003 in Washington , DC black teenagers were arrested and booked for eating McDonalds on the metro subway. Cops  cited recent 5-4 court decision as the permission to arrest law breakers even for minor offenses.



15. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of all hate crimes in America are against blacks.



16. After we get through being pleased that we have carpet in our office, a secretary, our name on the door and make six figures, we do not own anything.



17. What will happen if you miss 6 months of work without pay? All we've  left for our children is debt not an inheritance. You cannot pass welfare or food stamps onto our kids as a nest egg! We are not even
in the race.



18. By the way, the word "race" hit the English language in the 16th century when Europeans held a contest to see who will win the race to gather the lost wealth through exploitation of blacks.



19. You must read Powernomics by Claude Anderson . This is our blueprint to create wealth, not just have a job, but be a business owner, so you can hire people, be listed on the stock exchange,and develop
businesses to meet our needs.

Who do you think the author of this email is looking at as the cause of these problems, and to whom for the solutions?

Identifying problems and talking about them is great... Hell, I complain as much as any 3 people out there. But what's the next move for the author of this email?

[Speed55]

Number 15 is a joke.

If Black people are treated so unfairly in this country why do they stay? Africa is a huge continent and I'm sure many would be welcomed by more than a few African countries.

I think the fact is that every black person in this country has a much better life than they would have in Africa. It's long past time to chuck the victim mentality and start making one's own life here as many millions of black people have in fact done and found acceptance within white communities.

1. The first Americans or Native Americans going back to 13,000 BC were black! Look up the Folsom people who lived in Arizona .

So Asian people are black?

Seems to me the most accepted theory of new world native migration comes accross the Bering land bridge from Asia.

hmm... sounds like negros are not too good at figuring things out..

As for the hate crimes thing..  that was pretty low... if you define hate crime as being only whites doing something to another race....

The real truth is that negros are 7 times more likely to assault whites than vice versa.... now.. I am sure that none of those was done in love... or even "like"

They would all be hate crimes by any sane defenition.    

Asians are simply smarter than other races... a little smarter than whites and lapping the field when it comes to negros.

every race has been persecuted... indians were slaughtered and had no rights...  asians were used to do dangerous work and worked to death... as were many white immigrants...  slavery however was stopped way back in the 1860's

The indians now own casinos and help each other in a huge way... the asians  earned the respect of all and played the game and prospered.. the white immigrants worked their way into society....

The negro?  welll...... he is still butchering his own and everyone around him and being just as childish and selfish as he can be... while blaming everyone and everything around him for his own failings.

I think that email was written by someone with very little education and who is putting more effort in whining rather than getting off his arse and doing something productive.

----
1. False



2.  Correct except for this part:  'but will get the jobs/pay privileges afforded to whites'.  Thats a bunch of bull. Maybe that was true in the 50's but not today.

When i was a supervisor in my last job I had to interview people applying for position in my team... and seeing both black and white folk come in with a very weak resume, dressed in ragged clothes or wearing gang like clothing and then expect me to consider them over the person that comes in with formal attire, a much better resume and experience is just laughable.


3. 1968 != 2007.


4. Civil Rights do not dictate personal success. I bet Tiger Woods and Oprah have more money than several million white folk put together.

5. mmm.. maybe because they worked hard for it?

6. Shrimpin'!



7. No, but the mentioned BET is something you can make a point about. If there was a White Entertainment TV station you'd be rioting on the streets.


8. Its more profitable to own the stocks than to own the company. Complaining about being smart?


9. False.

10. And a yellow brick road.


11. False.

12. False.

13. And this is not your fault because... ?


14. That race card must give you reward airline miles.

15. False.

16. the point is.. ?

17. You are in the race. You're just whining at the pit stop instead of getting back in there.

18. You have earned 10,000 miles on your race card. False too btw.

19. I buy lotto.

I say quit whining already and learn how to play the game.

Its your own insecurity and persecution complex thats holding you down now more then anything anything the white man is doing.

Quit making excuses and throw off the crutches and learn to stand on your own.

I promise you willl get knocked down like the rest of us.
Question is. do you have the balls like the rest of us to get back up again.
and again, and again.

thats the difference these days between those to move forward and eventually succeed and those who just stay down and blame everyone but themselves

+10! Life is what you make it, not what is handed to you. Decide and then do something to make it better. Whining about it won't improve things. A fence can be climbed but only if you get off of your arse first.

I had a Chief in the Coast Guard (black guy by the way) who used to spout this crap at work all the time. He got to talking about reparations one day and I finally lost it. I asked him point blank if he thought I owed him money since I am white and he is black. He told me yes I did. He went on talking about how blacks aren't allowed to succeed in this country and on and on. Finally I pointed out to him that as a black man he made almost $3000 more a month than I did, I worked for him, and that all the success he currently had he had earned on merrit and achievment in his rate as an ET in the Coast Guard. He had a nice wife, 2 kids, 2 cars, nice house, kids went to a good school, and he's telling me I owe him money because of his skin color.

After I had pointed all this out to him he just looked at me with this stuned expression on his face. I then asked him why he joined the Guard. He said if he hadn't he probably would have ended up dealing drugs or something in Detroit where he grew up. I told him that he was smarter than most of his friends then and if he really wanted to help his people then he should be an excample to them of what is possible instead of advocating anouther free handout.

I know plenty of successfull back people. They worked hard for what they have and they are proud of what they have accomplished.  However I know many more black people that are totaly worthless to society. They think the world owes them everything and anyone who expects them to EARN something is trying to keep them down. It's all about the "bling" as long as they don't have to lift a finger for it.

To those folks I have this to say. Stop worrying about how your going to get those bigger wheels for your hooptie, buy a pair of pants that fit, a nice suit, leave the freakin fake gold and ebonics at home and go out and get an education and a job and WORK at it. Don't expect to start at the top, your going to have to EARN your way to the top.

Guess what.....that's how 99.9% us white folks have to do it too. Nothing was ever handed to me because I'm white. If anything we have to work harder for anything we get now. In this day and age there is an emerging a common truth. White pennis need not apply.

Hey MT -

definition of a fanatic/lunatic: 1) they never change their mind, and 2) they never change the subject.

You sound like a broken record, my friend. I can tell what your response will be to any thread before you even post it.

You bore me, dude.
