Gene C. Great come back. You really epitomize those ignorant dullards that are kept in slavery by the Demonrats. You just blindly go along and whatever the Al Sharptons and Obamas of the world tell you. Really, it is very sad. When you step back and look at the racial minorities of our country and see how they are abused and used by their Demonrat leaders, it is easy to understand why they struggle to reach their potential. It is liberty to take responsibility for ones self and an open door of opportunity that is the answer. That is what the idea of America offers to all. The answer is not subjugation by creating dependence. The answer is not telling people they are victims and will always be victims and so they should only see themselves as victims. It is not telling people they should accept a life of victimhood and dependence and instilling the idea that is the best they can hope to achieve. The Demonrats believe minorities are unable to achieve anything without their assistance and hand holding. Who is the racist here? It is not those who strive to give opportunity to all Americans to rise to their full potential through their own efforts. It is not those who believe that every American CAN reach their full potential if given the encouragement and opportunity to do so. James Brown wrote and sang a song in which he said, "I don't want nobody to give me nothing. Just open the door and I'll get it myself." That is the attitude of an independent man not a dependent slave. When Al Sharpton commented on that song he said that James Brown was confused and didn't understand the structural change that was needed. Whatever that means. Leaders like Al Sharpton et al use their followers to enrich themselves. The fact that they abuse and hinder a large portion of Americans to do so, doesn't matter to them. To me, it is a sad, sad thing. I wish a great portion of my fellow Americans would look for leadership among such men as Dr. Ben Carson and Thomas Sowell. Instead they are called Uncle Toms. It is like students who excel are said to be too white. Whoever fosters and encourages this type of thinking is the enemy, not just of African Americans but of all Americans. Google Dr. Ben Carson and Thomas Sowell to find two Americans who took responsibility for achieving their potential. These are truly great and admirable men.
