... Where the deer and the antelope... Eat their own

Racism is a sickening phenomenon. What’s worse than that is cannibalism. Eating your own is somehow more disgraceful than others eating those like you who are different from you.

On TV we see it all the time. This lion goes chasing some antlered animal, catches it and starts eating it. The word victim comes to mind for the hoofed quarry but you never really despise the lion for what she does.

How would you feel though if you saw one antelope turn and trip another so the lion could catch him? Or better yet the antelope just kills his cousin and starts chowing down. Something about that just isn’t right. You can feel it, maybe not totally understand what you feel but its wrong.

When men like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan suggest that the people of New Orleans were ignored because they were black it makes me want to puke. Rather than try to help their own they feed on them daily. The division between black and white Americans is doing far more harm to the minorities than to the majority.

What is worse than all this is the cost. Look at the coast of Mississippi. It was hit five times as hard as New Orleans. The damage is exponentially worse from Pass Christian to Bay St Louis than it is anywhere in New Orleans. You can’t even tell where the buildings were in Mississippi for a sixty mile stretch. Five entire cities were wiped off the map and no one even seems to care. And… ahem! Excuse me Mr. Sharpton/Jackson/Farrakhan; there were black people there too. Black, White, Asian, Hispanic and on and on. Don’t you dare tell me about poor people in New Orleans! Mississippi is the poorest state in the country. Funny, they didn’t have much of a looting problem in Mississippi either. Curious? I wonder why not. Could it be that before the storm the coastal Mississippi residents weren’t sitting around waiting on a handout so they didn’t really expect one when the storm was over. Could it be that there is virtue in being employed and self reliant? Could it be that the welfare system in this country is what has created the crime rate and racial tension that still lingers?

Could it be that when you feed clothe and house a man asking nothing in return that you actually take away his dignity and self respect. Is it our system that has destroyed minorities in this country? No one is helped out of poverty by welfare. They are driven deeper into it.

White men are not the enemy of minorities in this country. Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton are your enemies. They love money more than they do their own race. They would trip their brothers and see them eaten up by an unforgiving world rather than give up their gravy train that is fueled by the hopelessness and despair of generations of their own people. The men who offer you a carrot not to go out and get a job, offer you a dollar to have another child you can’t hope to feed these are your enemies.
