REPARATIONS for being born Black!

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

Don’t misunderstand. I am all for giving the Black man his due, but again we are forcing white America to pay for a crime committed before most of them were born and to accept a penalization in the form of payment to Black America most of which were also not yet born. And, I don’t know about you but why were Blacks the only race treated in such a manner as to qualify for reparations?

I grew up and survived about 40 years of equal-opportunity employment which was supposed to balance the workforce and create fairness in the workplace for the races. What it did was hired many minority workers that were unqualified to jobs ahead of qualified White workers. This created racism more than created equality and still today has a lingering of injustice amongst a lot of Whites.

What Black America believes is White People owe them for their being born Black. What White America believes is that White people are going to have to pay for crimes they did not commit. And for the record . . . I have never owned a slave of any color. Nor have I been responsible for any mistreatment of others regardless of skin color. Now Reparations is going to make all of the Black people wealthy just because they were born Black.

I know there are additional reasons for reparations but it seems to me that the qualification for reparations is skin color. And, this seems to reek of racism to me. Those working on the reparations panels or groups seem as qualified as those claiming to be “woke” which fails immediately when you realize that “woke” means that you are “woke” only to the plight of the Black man which means you are not concerned with truth but want to present a one-sided conversation. If you want to claim being “Woke”, or if you are on one a panel or group in which your opinion matters, maybe you should research the rest of the data available to you out there to answer the necessary questions necessary to resolve the confusion.

If you are Pro-Reparations perhaps you should ask yourself the following questions:

  • Has any other race been subject of abuse as claimed by Black people?
  • Have not all races been subject to harm due to racism?
  • Do you believe that reparations will create a whole new racism for America?
  • Has any other race suffered the same situations as Blacks, during the same time period?
  • Other than creating a whole bunch of wealthy Black people and a whole bunch of angry white people, do you see any true benefit by reparations?

Don’t misunderstand. I am taking this stance because I want to know if at the same time, I was being denied housing so was a Black person. And I want to know why for us both. Is it possible that not everything is racist and not only Blacks have been subject to the abuses claimed to be racist in nature.

The Controversy, “What is WOKE?”

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

So far, as I have seen or heard, there is no person in America that can claim being “Woke”,

Do you think WOKE is being able to cite a few Black references that demonstrate abuse towards Black people 100 years ago? Not ! In order to be “WOKE” you have to know all the facts of all races during the time cited. You cannot claim to be WOKE if you cannot tell all the facts relative to a discussion, not just the parts of the story you want to sensationalize. Being WOKE today is nothing but the retelling of another’s story. lacking truth because the story is only being told in part, usually resulting in a one-sided believable lie.

The thing most important when claiming to be “Woke is an understanding of what “woke” is? Woke is not blindly following the favored opinion. Woke is not taking somebody else’s word as valid. Woke IS doing the research necessary to ascertain the truth even if it not the favored opinion. Woke is being truthful to or of the topic regardless of the end result. And in today’s world WOKE is not just telling what Black people were suffering, but what suffering was of the other races.

To come up with an issue saying so many Black people were denied education without doing the research how many of the other races were facing similar issue means you are telling just enough of the story to play the race card. This is not WOKE, This is creating what may be a lie in furtherance of racism.

The use of the Washington Post database claiming the Black population in the United States as 13% is an example of this. Yes, the Black population is approximately 13% spread out with the numbers nation-wide. But, there are places in America that have no Black population at all so although the nation-wide Black population is approximately 13 percent, in many of our major cities the Black population ranges between 26 to 60 percent. America has been living the 13 percent lie since the database was created, when a layer deeper into the same database proves it a lie. WOKE is caring enough for the truth to do the research necessary to0 find the truth.

Based on the changes in numbers disclosed by correction of the 13 percent calculations a whole different picture exists. Why has nobody claiming to be WOKE said anything about the database calculations to anyone? Why hasn’t any politicians standing on their soap boxes discussed this information? This information is not difficult to discover, it just takes caring enough to seek the truth.

The reason why this information has not been disclosed is likely fear. Black people have been lied to for so many years that disclosure of this information will likely create riots throughout America in disbelief. Changes in these calculations does not say that Black people have not been subjected to suffering. But it does show Black people were not the only people to suffer the same issues. Black people have suffered greatly over the years because of the 13 percent lie. Don’t Black people deserve the truth? Are there any WOKE people that will stand up and tell Black people the truth?

If you cannot care enough to seek the truth and tell the truth, you are not WOKE, you are just another liar in furtherance of racism. Racism exists in America today because people acting in furtherance of racism for financial gain are allowed to continue profiting from it. There are a whole lot of people profiting from continued racism. In addition to race specific organizations that profit from racism, there are politicians that acquire office based on racial issues, Church acquires followers during times of racial conflict. Media goes nuts with racial incidents. And then, there is every anybody that can climb up on their soap box to preach their version of the lies while holding their hand out for donations.

Listen folks, racism is not really that hard to beat. Just become a little color-blind and treat everyone with equality and respect. If you want to do something for your Country, friends, and family . . . TELL THE TRUTH!

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.

We Have All Been Lied To . . .

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?

You People Don’t Know What Woke Is . . .

All these people out here claiming to be “Woke” or spouting “Critical Race Theory” do not have a clue of how to do anything except the furtherance of racism. Do you want to know what “woke” is?

Woke is knowing that the Washington Post database has been used in furtherance of racism from the very start. How? This database claims the Black populace as being 13% of the population . . . except where it is 30 to 60 percent.

Woke is knowing that organizations like Black Lives Matter are a sham. Black Lives Matter never intended to be a support organization for Black people. BLM was formed to support a gay sports player. They simply had the name at the right place when the Gorge Floyd stuff kicked off.

Woke is knowing that all of these organizations that have a race in their name do nothing to fight racism. They make their living off racism, why try to fight it?

Woke is knowing that there are people out here that thrive on racial conflict, and that they at every opportunity try to voice their hate as far and as wide as they can.

Woke is knowing that the disparities claimed by Blacks seeking reparations doesn’t consider economics at all, only racism. Have you ever seen the number of Whites that got followed around stores, refused housing, could not get a job, or education during the same period. Sure it may only be 2 percent of the White population, but compared to the 13% Black population, that 2% is 20 times the number.

and, Woke is knowing that when we get done fighting to see who has suffered enough to stop this bullshit and mature enough as a society to become color-blind and start treating one-another with respect, with equality, and move forward with our futures . . . before we can’t.
