African American Community Promises

African American community promise.  The promises are not what they seem.  I am a white person that is a American.  If you are a black person and you are a citizen, you are an American.   You may have dealt with difficulties relating to your race.  Its  admitted that I had a small  part of that feeling as I watched the South Carolina Debate. 

I could interpret that the candidates were against white people and they thought they were bad.  White people got  all of the breaks and the black people didn’t, is their assumption. White people’s votes wern’t even asked for.   Apparently they assume that a good portion of white people will agree with them on giving black people extra help with finances.

The word racist was used often.  Candidates didn’t even use the word correctly.    A  racist thinks that his race is superior to another race. Major media miss uses the word racist all of the time. Prejudice is the right word to use.   It exists everywhere.    Many have had a bad experience with the other race and attribute it to the race and not the person.

Does promising special privileges promote prejudice

The promises made to the African Americans doesn’t work.  It promotes prejudice. How would a black man feel if a white man was given preferences and money.  History knows the answer to that.  Affirmative action changed this.   We have seen that in the past. I don’t know if people realize this, but some negatives were realities to both black and white people.

In 1947 I was in a coma which was then, an incurable medical issue.  I was in Children’s Hospital In Los Angeles.  I was 7 years old.  The  doctor that took care of me was black.  He had to be exceptional.  The doctor  faced many challenges  in 1947.  A black man doesn’t have to face these issues today.   You can believe that prejudice didn’t exist in the household that I grew up in.

Why do I bring this up in this article?  I bring it up because would the average person want to go to a black  doctor?  Was he a good doctor or someone that went through med school and passed because of the bad press the school might get if they didn’t pass him.  This was a real issue in many minds.   I say this not to make an issue of these things, but to point out that everything has a cost.

Don’t accept an African American community promise

African Americans, its time to stand up and be counted.  I don’t think that you feel so inadequate that you need  special treatment.   The candidates for president are saying in public that the African American needs special help.   Candice Owens blogs about this.  The link in in the sidebar and in a earlier blog.  Check out what Morgan Freeman has to say.  He is interviewed at https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/02/20/larry-elder-black-history-month-why-dont-they-teach-about-the-arab-muslim-slave-trade-in-africa-888937?fbclid=IwAR09OT0EpaogUkVYc3AXXiwemaqVYs1fj1-vngx2vUBL_2BAPOUheuKZJXs
