Lets Talk Reparations . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

Our society seems to want to isolate Black peop[e one way or another. So every bad thing that happens to a Black person, happens only to Black people. Rubbish! All of the things that are reason for reparations did not only happen to Black people. Throughout history the upper-crust of White society have believed themselves the elite, superior in every way. Not just superior to Black people, but to all people including their own race. The superior White people look down upon everyone not party to their “click” or status. The American Indian, the Irish, the Chinese, Hispanics, lower class Whites, and every other race that has come to shore in the United States has at one time, or many times become victim of the Elite Whites. And contrary to the belief of many, Black people were not and are not the only race subject to such abuse.

Presently there is a movement to provide reparations to Black people for abuses realized long past that were not race specific. Black people believe only Black people suffered these abuses, but are they right? Do you really believe that certain classes of other races were not treated the same. Black people have been living this lie for the last 60 years or more. But what is even more ridiculous is White America fears the Black man so much that rather than seek the truth, White America continues to allow the lie to continue at the expense of the working class Whites.

Reparations will cost billions of dollars and elevate all Black people both financially and in status, paid for by the working class Whites who in the end will be the poor and bottom of society. You have to realize, the people making the decisions to do things in this country are not the people subject to such decision. Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employment did not effect the Owners or Bosses of the companies made responsible for such action but the entry level through mid-management suffered the losses of income and lost promotions.

Every action taken by government to correct the abuse of racism, makes White people pay for the wrong-doings of others for acts committed well before we were responsible for such act. I have never owned another human being, never subjected anyone to abuse because of the color of their skin, so why am I being charged with an offense I did not commit and penalized because of the color of my skin? As far as reparations go, not until somebody that claims to be woke can tell me how many of each race suffered the racism claimed and can prove Black people are the only race suffering such racism.

But then, if other races including Whites were found to have been subjected to the same treatment as Blacks, it wouldn’t be racism would it?

If We Can Erase History . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

Our society presently is doing all it can to erase history, instead of learning from it. Starting with the statue removals of people that were significant to White history but brought disfavor from the Black community. Does anybody remember who these monuments were made for? If you go back in history to when those men were alive, all Black people were referred to as the “N-word.” And, it was acceptable at that time in our history. But, back to my point . . .

People in our history owned slaves and today most of us find owning slaves offensive. So, we tear down monuments to historical slave owners that were not subjected to such disfavor during their lifetime. Nobody sees the now offensive monument, so nobody is provided the story that it told. And although today’s society sees such things differently from what we found acceptable in days gone by, how were they looked at back then. Were some of these people looked upon favorably in their day even by their slaves? We need to quit applying our current opinions to situations in the past. You cannot hold somebody from 50 years ago accountable to today’s beliefs.

Now we are looking at the removal of books that are about Black athletes because the books tell of the racial issues they faced. I’m talking about players like Hank Aaron who was one of first Black Baseball Players in the South. Again, by removal of the books we are erasing history. Why aren’t we keeping the statues and adding information of how these people fell to disfavor. Books good, bad, or absolute lies need to be retained for history and noted where right or wrong, but never taken from education or removed from public access.

Our society has this racism thing wrong. Racism does exist and some people will never change, they will always hate people of different color, different financial status, and/or other stupid reason to hate. People fall into this racism thig too easily. They jump to racism quickly as a reason for any Black/White conflict. Why? White people abuse everybody. Look at history. At the same time White people were abusing Blacks, was anyone else abused? What about the Irish? The Chinese? Or, the American Indian? Or , the real abused. We took one race, put them in camps, stole their property and didn’t give it back. I refer to the Japanese. White man has abused every race throughout history, and still do today. Black people have been lied to for years, fed statistics that were false data, had stories of occurrences sensationalized for impact, but nobody has really looked at the overall abuse of everybody instead of just Blacks.

Check the data. Ask yourself if anybody else other than Blacks have been subjected to similar abuse although not racism? White women were not allowed to vote for years and consider the womans bra burning years. That was over rights, abuse, wages, and complaints that match the same issues consider complaint of racism towards Black people. And still today many of t5he same issues exists but because it doesn’t involve skin color it isn’t called racism.

My point being racism is racism only when directed towards Blacks from Whites. There are no acts involving any other race, sex, religion, or financial status that are of consequence. No, that is wrong. Events occur daily in this country that are violations of our rights that go un-noticed and easily overlooked because Black people are not part of the complaint. Get this America . . . .

BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE ABUSED IN THIS COUNTRY. Is it possible some other factor, other than race need be considered? Quit looking at skin color for a minute and consider other factors. There is nothing that Black people have been subjected to that other races haven’t been subjected to. So if it is not race specific abuse, why is it considered racism? Quit using skin color as a reason for failure, look deeper to ascertain the real cause and fix it. In the interim, keep destroying the things we should be using to make us remember this country’s history and learn from it. In the future, none of these issues will have ever been an issue, because it has been erased. That just sounds real stupid, like something one of our politicians would say.

It Is About Time Somebody . . .

For a couple years, I’ve been saying things about racism in America today, only to be regarded from a distance as though I was some crackpot that doesn’t know what he is talking about. Yesterday somebody writing for the Washington Examiner wrote a similar cover of this topic. It is good to see someone else doing research to find the truth. Now if we could just get the people that are supposed to know these facts, such as our political leaders, religious leaders, and those that speak the loudest, we could grow a little and identify issues other than skin color that can be resolved.

I’m not going to write on this topic a lot today, because I think it important that you read the article in the Washington Examiner I noted earlier. I will say that our racial problems are the makings of those profiting from racism far more than anything else, Sure we will forever have those that hate differing skin color, of all races. But we as a people really are better than that. Here’s the link to the Washington Examiner article: The ‘systemic’ problem with policing isn’t racism

Opinions | Blocking Black history is an attempt to counter Black Power, A WP Headline . . .

Does it seem as though the Washington Post prints more race-based stories than anyone else? What many people do not understand is those that are talking the most about racism, by doing so are promoting racism. And if you look a little deeper, they are making money doing it. Anyway, on to the article noted above. (Link to the WP article)

What America is having to deal with today is attempts by anyone riding the racism wave in furtherance of continued racism. Much of the new education regarding Black people claims that Black people were subjected to abuses other races were not subjected to. Claims of being “Woke” are mostly lies, again making the claim that Black people were abused more than others. Well, you cannot support education that fails to recognize that other races were also subjected to the same abuse or a variation thereof. You cannot claim to be “Woke” if you are only knowledgeable of a single race. Don’t get me wrong, some Black people have gotten a poor deal throughout history, but if you look deeper so have some other people of different races.

Believe it or not folks, the White race has abused every race there is to abuse, including their own. What makes you believe that White people haven’t treated everybody poorly? You don’t think Whites treat Whites poorly, both in history and present day? Any education that wants to speak the truth needs to attempt to do so right from the start instead of making a “grandstand” play to further racism. Politics makes a practice of stopping data research when it tells the story they want to tell. The Washington Post database that says Black people are approximately 13 percent of the U.S. population has been used as the measurement for almost any racial claim made in the past decade. Nobody bothers to dig a little deeper to discover that yes Black people appear to be 13 percent of the U.S. population, until they aren’t. Many of our major cities the Black population ranges from 20 to 60 percent of that city. Do an “after dark” calculation of people out and about in the downtown areas and the Black percentage for that area can reach 90 percent easily. I am not suggesting that a bunch of abuse suffered by Black people is acceptable. I am saying, if there is nobody there but Black people how does anyone else get subjected to the abuse? Believe it or not, there are some places in America that are 90 percent Hispanic and someplace else that is 95 percent White.

The path to racial equality for the Black man is a long road to travel, and it doesn’t travel well when it doesn’t tell truth any more than the stories in history which all seem to lead to White superiority rather than truth. Everybody of all races should be demanding the truth today. Let’s not praise “Critical Race Theory” making the entire White race responsible for Black abuse without knowing the truth of who has suffered such abuse. Let’s not accept “Woke” from someone that cannot tell you if anyone of any other race was subjected to the same abuse. And let’s not educate our children with information that fails to tell the whole truth. That has already been done.

It is important that all of America pay attention to what they are hearing. People screaming of racial strife are promoting racism with every word they say. They make their money promoting racism. Unless they can tell you how many unemployed Whites, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, and every other race there are, they should not be telling you how many Black people are suffering in that topic. Do a little research, all of us have been lied to, and few of us actually research the information in hope of finding truth.

Do I Come Off Like A Hater?

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

The intent of this website has always been truth and open discussion in search of the truth. I make some pretty unpopular comments on this site that many people are afraid to even think about for fear of reprisal. But I say these things because my research has proven to myself my opinion to be true and correct. I do not expect anyone to believe I know what I am talking about, but I do expect that if I’m not believed that those in disagreement would at least make an effort to review the data presented by sources they believe to be to be true. All of my data comes from sources recognized as reliable sources for said data.

For instance, The Washington Post Database. This data source says that the Black Population of the U.S. is approximately 13 percent, and it is. But this is where everybody has stopped looking at the data, to use 13 percent as the calculation regarding people shot by police. Now, this is simple math, and most of you know the major cities around you. If Blacks are 13 percent of the entire U.S. population, do you believe that Black people reside in everywhere America? There are communities in this Country that have 0 percent Black population. Where are the 13 percent for the 0 percent community? Well, they have added themselves to a different community, and suddenly someplace has more than 13 percent Black population. Look at major cities across America. What is the Black population percentage of the major cities in the U.S.? Surprise! 23 to 60 percent. And, if you take a look at the streets after dark you will discover that the downtown area of many cities is as much as 90 percent Black. I am not trying to make negative comments towards Blacks because they need to understand that they are being misled just like the rest of us. When you look at the actual population where these incidents happen, in many incidents the population of Blacks and Whites are both close to 33 percent each with the other percentage mixed.

Now, you don’t have to do but a couple minutes of research to ascertain I’m telling you the truth. Take a moment and then think about it. What does the Washington Post Database do? Sells newspapers, and promotes civil unrest which is another newspaper seller. All across this Country there are a lot of people making money off of racism. Look around you, people of all colors on the streets, on the Internet, and in the news. People everywhere promote racism while saying they are fighting racism. Those people are the problem. I don’t hate anyone, okay maybe an ex-wife, even that’s questionable.

Too truly combat racism, all you have to do is become color-blind and treat everybody as equal. It really is not that hard to do.

We Have All Been Lied To . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

For years and more years lies about racial issues have been commonplace everywhere. Blacks and a whole bunch of Whites believe so seriously in all the hype of abuse towards Blacks that even when a claim proven a lie, they still believe in the lie.

  • The contention that Blacks make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population, so they should only get killed by police at that same 13 percent, is stupid. The information that brought about this reality was supported by a database compiled by The Washington Post in which it demonstrated the Black population at approximately 13 percent while police shootings of Blacks was above 20 percent in some cities. What people using this data is although the nation-wide black population is approximately 13 percent, in most major cities the Black population ranges from 20 to 60 percent. Also, in these same city’s Black population after dark (As in who is there to be shot by police) is close to 80 percent. The 13 percent rule is a lie
  • Almost all the issues being considered for reparations are being treated as though it only a Black issue. Do you really believe that Whites only treated Blacks poorly? White people treat everyone poorly, even Whites. Every issue raised by reparations has also affected some White people in much the same way as Blacks.
  • The idea that Whites have not suffered the same issues as Blacks is ridiculous. Employment, Education, and other opportunities have all been White abusive. And still continue to be. Blacks may only be a small percentage of the workforce in one category, while in others they have a much higher percentage. Players in NFL Football teams are 70 to 90 percent Black. Many occupations are at a high percentage of Blacks. When you look at percentages, look at the numbers 13 percent Black equals 1 or 2 percent White to have the same numbers.
  • Educators world-wide seem to think actually researching information before they further influence our youth is not important. There is a fella named Tom Thornhill that teaches a course on White Racism in Florida. I doubt he has truly done any research into the topic and he believes there is no such thing as Black Racism. He like so many of our educators teaches to promote racism. Until such time as they actually do the research to ascertain actual facts and figures they are teaching nothing but racial disharmony and failing our education system.

Why do we have the racial issues we have today? Because somebody is making money from it. Every organization that has a race name in their title is doing all of us another dose of racism. That’s how they put food on their table. But recognize it for what it is. Racism is not that hard to fight. Just mature enough to become color-blind and learn to treat people of all colors as equals. It is really not that hard to do. Those that claim to be “Woke” aren’t. How can you be “woke” if you only know one side of the topic?

A Unarmed White Man Shot by a Black Cop!

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

Did you hear about it, me neither! I was reading an article in some news rag that discussed this incident. It seems a Black Female Police Officer shot a unarmed White guy and nobody gave a damn about it. Had this been a White Cop shooting a Black person there would of been riots in the streets, even if the Black guy was armed and had dead babies hanging from his belt.

The fact that the Officer shot the unarmed White guy and was later to be determined a good shoot isn’t the issue. In my opinion it doesn’t matter the color of your skin, cops are not paid to fight every person out there that doesn’t want to comply. If a guy is going to fight a cop, he has every intent to hurt the cop. Of course use of less than lethal means need to be attempted first, but if they don’t work or the cop isn’t provided the opportunity . . .

What America has to realize is that everything that is or has happened to Black people also happens to White people and the 13 percent of the population is Black as a claim for the Black people being more abused than Whites, is an absolute lie. How can you have cities that has 30 to 60 percent Black, use 13 percent as the qualifier? The Washington Post is responsible for this lie. We all know racism and civil unrest sells newspapers, but why is almost all of America so gullible? For the record there are still more White people killed by cops in the U.S., White people just assume the White guy had it coming to him. You don’t see anybody marching in the street over a White person. But, shouldn’t there be more people marching the streets when it happens toa White guy?

As I was saying, everything that Black people have been suffering, there are white folk suffering through it too. But nobody cares to gather the data to show it White people don’t want to know that there are White people that aren’t affluent, educated, and have good family backgrounds. And, none of the other races care if White people suffer anything. Even if it is only 1 or 2 percent of the White populace in this suffering, 1 percent of White people is a much larger number than 1 percent of the Black populace.

So why isn’t anybody else saying this? It could be Whites not wanting to know who is suffering and everybody else not caring if Whites suffer, or not. Or, it could be America is afraid of the Black man. Or, it could be people are making big bucks off racism. Look around, how many people, business, and politicians are riding on the racial divide like it is their road to riches? Because it is! They have a meal ticket and an agenda designed to destroy America.

People in this Country have been lied to so much, that they believe the lies. People are making money off of racial issues, lots of money. And it is all bullshit because nobody is actually doing the research to speak on the topic competently. And, many people won’t even try to discuss these matters unless their opinion meets the status quo. Anybody that does have other opinion haws to worry about reprisal from their jobs to their community. Opposing opinions are quickly forced to shut up, stores quit carrying products from those of different opinion, employers terminate employment of those in conflict with the accepted norm, and so on and so on. And people believe in social media as though it gospel, while more false information is spread through social media than any where else.

Were we wrong to believe the Internet was going to provide us with the necessary information to make informed decision on important matters? The Internet has provided the hatemongers media to spread hate and discontent. I think the problem is, people find it easier to follow than to research for the truth.

Our society has made it uncool to be a White man when every issue raised by other races is championed in one way or another by White people. You may want to hate a White man from years long passed, but why do you hate those that do not follow their forefathers racial hatred to today? How is hate due to the color of my skin, any different than hate due to your skin color? I was reading an article the other day about White organizations, why is it acceptable to have Black, Hispanic, Indian, Chinese, or other race organization but not acceptable to have a White organization? Do we make the assumption that a White organization would support racism any more than the other race organizations? Why is it unacceptable for White people to have an organization that supports their heritage?

Every organization that has a race as part of their name promotes racism. Why? Because just by the name use of race it suggests that the organization is race motivated. And, every such organization should be removed from our society, to be replaced by organizations that support those in need regardless of skin color, and run by people that have the ability to respond to needs rather than skin color.

The answer is simple . . . In order for our society to move forward without ongoing racial divide, we as a society and as a people have to mature beyond skin color, practice equality, and be respectful of one-another. Our Government cannot do this. We need to do this, and it has to be done by all races. It isn’t so hard to do. Just mature beyond skin color and practice being color-blind and equality. Although our Government does not recognize the phrase “All Men are Created Equal” as a Constitutional Right. (The phrase was first used by I believe Hamilton in the Declaration of Independence) we as a people have to and we need to do so strongly, supported by all races. I suppose a better explanation of what I mean here would help. How about, there is no superior race, we are all men of equality.

Racism Through Reparations . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

The State of California is about to give over $200,000.00 to each Black person qualifying for reparations living in California. This means that California Tax Payers are going to have to foot the bill to pay this benefit, making almost every Black person in the State wealthy while leaving the lower economics of the State to the White and Hispanic races. Why? Because politicians are ignorant regarding race and because most of our citizens are sheep believing almost anything they are told relevant to race, without ever researching the information for any form of validation.

The U.S. has long used racism as a cause of Black people not being treated fairly, paid equally, or facing daily adversity. But what they have failed to do is look at the entire situation. The common percentage mathmatics provide us numbers that do not tell the true answers to our questions.

The Washington Post database which says Blacks make up approximately 13 percent of the U.S. population and that the Blacks realize abuse by authorities at a much higher rate than their 13 percent should tells only a portion of the story. What it fails to tell you is that Black people do not live everywhere in the U.S. and based on the community Blacks do in fact prove to be between 23 and 60 percent. Which means using the 13 percent rule of measurement fails to demonstrate the true facts, more Whites than Blacks are subject to abuse by authorities. But nobody tells you that!

As far as the financial breakdown of the races, there is no database I have yet to have found that gives a true calculation of the White race. Every other race can be determined but for some reason the White race data does not reveal itself. The only thing I can come up with is these databases do not want to demonstrate the true data they show. But, my findings are possibly indicative of the need for additional research because nothing demonstrates the true picture presently.

In 2019 21.2 percent of Blacks were living at poverty level. 21.2 percent is approximately 8,244,000 Blacks. During the same time year 9 percent of the White population was at poverty level. 9 percent is approximately 17,328,200 Whites. But even more surprising is that 17.2 of Hispanic were poverty level. 17.2 percent is approximately 10,174,200 Hispanics. By the numbers, there are more White people living in poverty than any other race. By percentage Hispanics are the highest percentage living in poverty. Clearly Blacks are not the big winner for poverty level.

It is my contention that this reparations based on skin color does not demonstrate the true facts. I believe the key factors of those in poverty outweigh skin color and that were the data compiled it would show that everything, each item claimed as suffered by Blacks was and is still being suffered by every other race in this Country. People find it hard to believe that Whites are denied housing, education, health care, or other benefit . . . but it is true. America does not want people to know how many Whites are subjected to these same issues. To bring this information to the surface would mean America is failing to be the America it has claimed to be.

Back to reparations. California is ready to give millions of dollars to Black people not given the same opportunities as Whites, for the same sufferings in which Whites were not given the same opportunities as more affluent Whites. Does anybody see the buildup for more racial discord between the races?

Now factor in the Civil War, the war to free the slaves. America is calling for reparations to benefit Blacks whose family were slaves. But were the slaves the only peoples that suffered? How about the men that fought to free the slaves and the families that lost family members and subsequent opportunity lost to their children and their children? How many White people have suffered since that time simply because they support equality? You see, many people have suffered, not just Blacks. Keep in mind that no forward motion in effort to bring about equality has been done without White participation.

What benefit does reparations provide? Other than making some Black people more affluent than they presently are and creating a need for taxation to foot the bill, it does nothing but serve as an insult to others that have suffered in effort of equality. Reparations are not equality. Reparations are specific precluding participation of other races that have suffered loss similar to Black people without consideration by our Government or the people writing such into law.

Is this going to create racial disharmony? More than anything it will be compiled with all the other benefits afforded the Blacks without inclusion of the other races and it will bring about anger. And when people of all colors in this Country get angry enough to seek the truth and discover that those making money from our racial divide are the problem. If our politicians would pay attention and quit serving a single race at the cost of another race could certainly serve to benefit all of us. But Political America and Corporate America fear the Black man and do not want to let the world know that White America is suffering like everybody else, so we will suffer the lies they use to justify it, while they continue to create racial discord for us all. For those of us seeking an end to racism, it will create additional set back but we will continue seeking equality for all while hoping for the maturity to become color-blind for one and all.

Why Do White Lives Matter?

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

To answer this question you need to know what you are talking about. And before you suggest that I am wrong, you need to do a little research, to discover the real truth. Before I start this article, I want you to know that I do not support racism in any way. Equality, fairness, and social harmony; yes, racism; no.

Okay first: The Washington Post database that demonstrates that the population of Black people in the U.S. is approximately 13 percent. This is true, but misleading because believe it or not there are places in the U.S. that don’t have Black people. If you compare the populations of many of our major cities, the Black population ranges anywhere from 23 to over 60 percent. Using those same population figures there are more White people killed by Police than Black people. Before you get all up in your stuff to tell me I am wrong, go look at the data. Knowing this fact is not the big deal you may believe it is. Knowing this fact and wondering why our government, clergy, educators, and people we trust aren’t doing the research and telling us the truth is the big deal.

And second: Black Lives Matter, the organization was made to support a gay sports player, had nothing to do with supporting the Black population at all, and had no intent to do so. Having the right name and being in the right place at the right time allowed these people to take advantage of White Corporate America that in fear dumped millions of dollars in donations while BLM founders scooped it up, laughing it up as they were suddenly rich. BLM was not there to support George Floyd. They were there to grab misdirected money and did so. Since that day BLM people have done nothing to support Black people. They have however, joined the ranks of the “rich and famous.”

And third: The claims that Black people do not have opportunity as the Whites is another lie not adequately researched by anybody to make such claim. The data is available but not yet collected adequately to make a true determination. However, what data is available paints a very different picture. My interest in this topic came about from a situation in which a sports team hired a temporary head coach with no experience over a Black Assistant Coach and the media erupted with claims of racism. Looking at the sports organization I discovered that not only do they report the racial figurers for Players and Coaches but they also provide racial figures for damn near every employee of the Organization. Black Players made up from 60 to 80 percent of the Organizations Players, Black Coaches made up roughly 35 percent of the coaching staff. This prompted my delving into the topic further, so I reviewed “entertainment.” Who is the big loser in this topic? Asians! Blacks scored 25 to 35 percent in a majority of media and entertainment occupations. Again, knowing this fact is not the big deal you may believe it is. Knowing this fact and wondering why our government, clergy, educators, and people we trust aren’t doing the research and telling us the truth is the big deal. Going back to the 13 percent rule . . . what percentage of these jobs?

The point I am trying to show you is we are being fed lies with intent to create racial disharmony, and we are falling for it. Aren’t you tired of being lied to? Right now coast-to-coast in America our Government and Organizations are giving benefits to Black people while precluding Whites opportunity for the same benefit. Corporate America is telling their Hiring Managers not to hire White people. Do you really believe that Black people are the only race suffering the lower economy levels. Even if the entire 13 percent Black people were at such level, which they are not. There are at least an equal number of Whites suffering the same issues. And you have to ask, “do White Lives Matter.”

They are giving these benefits to Blacks and Others, excluding Whites under guise of fairness to the Black race. But what they are actually doing is building a whole new racism. This is the bottom of our economy levels. Do you think it fair one race benefit while another doesn’t? Another thing this situation does is highlight the true problem. Our Government is STUPID and cannot figure out the need for color-blindness in Government. To become color-blind requires maturing enough to seek fairness and equality regardless skin color. Really not that hard to do.

We need to stop living these lies. Don’t believe me. Do the research yourself. If you are in an occupation in which you are carrying these lies forward, quit your job or do the research to find the truth. All Lives Matter lets accept that and move forward.

Damn, I Wish I Weren’t White . . .

A Washington Examiner headline, “Poll shows hiring managers discriminating against white men” caught my eye this morning. It comes at a time when being a White man seems a little unpopular. But is it fair? If the Black percentage of the population is around 13 percent, doesn’t that mean they should have about 13 percent of the jobs?

“In the 2015-2016 television season, 74.6 percent of roles for cable scripted shows went to white actors, whilst 13.3 percent went to black actors, and just 2.6 percent to Asian actors.” Okay, this seems about right, or does it?

“The majority of TV newsroom employees in the United States in 2020 were white, with African American staff and Hispanic and Latino employees making up less than 25 percent of the total. The survey projected that the share of Hispanic and Latino employees would increase slightly in 2021 but the forecasted percentage remains under 13 percent.” Somebody works with the same math I do.

Add professional sports players and entertainers figures to this and I believe you will find that Black people have a bunch of the good paying jobs, exceeding the 13 percent  discussed above.

Now, we go and turn the apple-cart upside down because folks out there are making their living off of racism telling people that are too lazy a bunch of lies and unfairly taking jobs from the White man. I find this offensive as fuck!

I have never taken any opportunity away from anybody. Never owned a slave. Don't care what color your skin is. And, I have never taken the food off another mans table based on the color of his skin. Corporate America is afraid off the Black man, so instead of doing the right thing and ensuring that their hiring practices are color-blind, they turn around and do the opposite and create a new racial issue.

Listen up folks . . . We are where we are today because folks are making money off racism, and we keep letting them do it. It's not hard to recognize men as equals and if you can mature enough to be color-blind most issues will resolve themselves. Folks out there that can't mature to that level, are the problem. They come in all colors and they aren't helping nobody, but themselves at our expense. Corporations, Politicians, Government is so busy trying to make new racial issues that they can't see they are the problem. If they would have treated men as equals a long time ago, we would be in a much better place today . . .
