Black Man Tells White Leftists a Few Hard Truths About American History
r_bq">
I did my bit today
writes Antipodius on Ricochet after seeing this thing of beauty.
I sat with the OR resident leftists- a couple of
hearts on their sleeves white folks who keep telling me how horrible
Republicans are and why I should agree with them that religious people
are the source of every problem in the world, and that American police
love to kill black people.
Well, this black man let them have it. I walked them through the
history of the Republican party, the speeches and writings of Frederick
Douglas… and I was just getting started. I told them who founded the
KKK, and which states in the South were for segregation and which party
their governments belonged to. I kept going, indices of economy, family
stability, education of black people in America and how that has
declined since welfare.
Some idiot in the corner piped up about how
blacks in WW2 were not educated and welfare and the 60’s had changed all
that. Well, I happen to have a picture of a Tuskegee P51 Mustang as my
laptop wallpaper…. I waded in with their glorious history. I spoke of
the honour and character of the American “Negro” at the height of
segregation and contrasted that with the black lives matter hooligans
today. I quoted excerpts from Martin Luther King’s speeches and
contrasted them with those of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
It was dead quiet. And then, I put on my Texas operating hat… and
walked out, but not before saying..
“next time I’m in the tea room… we
can really talk about the state of the American black.. and who exactly
is to blame for his current state.”
