H20 has a great post that calls for an honest discussion of race that will no doubt earn her the epitaph of "Racist" and "hatemonger"...

It's refreshing to hear honest talk for a change, instead of mealy mouthed euphamisms. We do need to have a good, honest dicussion on race relations where the White side can be heard as well as the usual Black accusations and demands.

To those of "Rev." Wrights' ilk that damn America for being racist and "keeping the Brothers down", I invite them to examine Africa itself for REAL racism and hate.

Rhodesia USED to be the breadbasket of Africa, then the 'enlightened' Brothers took over from the "Colonial racist overlords"...Zimbabwe is now second only to Darfur in (BLACK) tribe on tribe genocide and the people are starving.

South Africa WAS racist in their social policies; BUT it's funny, Black people voted with their feet to enter the country from all over the rest of the continent because, even with the blatently overt racism, living conditions there were still better than in any other country in the area, and now that majority rule has been established, the conditions have deteriotated to almost match those other hell holes.

Call me racist, but if you look at the proof of real results it does seem that, as a group, Blacks come up deficiant. Individuals are brilliant and shine nova-like for being set among the general dross of the rest of the mass that is content to feed off of largess of the general public that allows them the free time to complain about how put down they are.

Whites historically treated Blacks shamefully, and some sort of restitution in the form of a hand up was justified to level the playing field, but I would contend that that that restitution in the form of set asides, racial hiring quotas, educational aid, and just plain handouts have already leveled that playing field long ago and it's time that the Black population look to itself to ensure that they use those tools to raise themselves to where they wish to be, and not depend on White Guilt to just give it to them.

Recent Black immigrants from Africa, Jamaca, Honduras, etc, etc seem to fare much better than their native born compatriots; they see and USE the opportunities afforded them to great effect, and still maintain their dignity and racial and personal pride. They are too busy making a success of themselves to complain about some historical grievences of no personal consequence to themselves. They acknowledge the past, learn from it, and use the present opportunities to raise themseves to wherever their native abilities can take them. They have moved on from the past; it's time their betheran do the same.
