An article has surfaced that was written in 2008 by pat buchanan, racist, pathological sociopath, and is being e-mailed to the in-bred, knuckle dragging mouth breathers that are the good christian conservative teabaggers.
And they are slurping up the santorum flavored tea by the gallons while dancing around
"America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known."
Yes, the black people should thank America for what?
Be grateful to God (with his beautiful, piercing blue eyes) that we offered you a free boat ride to paradise, you Black savages. Show gratitude that we remixed some of your beliefs and fused them with our own religious doctrine so that we could save you from your wicked ways. We treated you as if you were beneath us for centuries, and look at yourselves: You now posses a fraction of our success. We did all this to motivate you. It was for your own good. Can you say...THANK YOU WHITEY!!!!!
- Equality?
Our constitution originally designated "black folks" as 3/5 a person, gave them no freedom and severely punished those who tried to achieve it. Even after we fought a civil war it took another hundred years to get even basic civil and human rights during which time lynching was commonplace it certain parts of the country. During which time they were legally segregated and oppressed, and prevented by law and social custom from building the wealth base that white Americans have been able to build within families and communities for generations. Not all whites, obviously, since there are a great number of poor whites (and all groups), but at the other end, the upper income end, whites were given privileges and rights that blacks were forbidden.
- Opportunities?
All the rest is just more whining about "Us poor white people" crap. Affirmative Action was a minor attempt to offset the white bias in universities and other government institutions, so any claim that it "discriminated" against whites is moronic at best. The most whites can whine about there is that their privileged status was no longer unchallenged. Soup kitchens and the rest are for white and black people, and all others, and if the author believes black people benefit more from such charity, the author needs to ask why black people need such charity more. The answer to that question destroys the fantasy world of pukanan's nutcase rantings.
As for the supposed rhetorical questions about whether white America is really responsible for the incarceration and crime rate of black America, the answer is easily yes. Forced poverty, lack of opportunity, poor schools, a history of economic suppression that is meant to crush the possibility of economic growth in black communities, a repressive law enforcement system clearly proven over and over again to arrest, convict, and imprison longer for black Americans than for white Americans for the same crimes, and crimes that were crafted to punish black Americans more than whites for equivalent actions (such as laws providing harsher sentences for crack than for regular cocaine), all prove that black Americans face a legal repression that white people just don't face, Unfortunately, the author of this piece is a typical example of racist, hypocritical, right wingnut, teabagger faction of the republican party.
They are not afraid to make up their version of facts as long as it appeals to their base. Then they get offended when they are shown to be wrong or just flat out lying.
But America is beginning to see them for what they are and the approval for the republicans is showing that the majority of Americans don't agree with the direction the republicans are trying to take the country.
Well I put way more effort and time into this than it deserved.
I should have gone with my first thought:
JEBUS, WHAT A CLUELESS,LYING, FUCKING IDIOT!!
From what I've seen of the people that have posted the email and the responses to it would be closer to their intellectual abilities.
Like LBJ said, you shouldn't try to teach a pig manners. It wastes your time and angers the pig.
