For You Alabama John

[Pine Mt Beagles]

To Some Slavery was A good Thing and Hitler was sent from GOD,but to actual Human beings That is not the Case.

To many on this board ,will say this is just Crap or your favorite just not true.

Open Letter to My Fellow Whiteys:

White people, where you at?

I’m not kidding, white people. We have work to do. People of Color have been telling us what the problem is for decades. Their voices are not new, but it seems we are finally hearing them talk.

So we have two options: we can buckle down and start fixing what is wrong with our nation from within, like we should…or we can continue to let black folks do all the heavy lifting while we sit in the cool comfort and sip iced tea. But you know…that’s what got us into this crap in the first place.

We stole African people and sailed them across the sea in chains. We killed those that resisted. We beat them mercilessly. We tore babies away from their mothers and sold them like cattle.

We hung them if we felt like it, and we buried them with no gravestones for their families to mourn. We kept them in a state of imprisonment and mortal fear, barely fed them, treated them worse than any animal we owned.

We built this nation on their backs with their labor, with their suffering, with their blood, with their deaths. We kept them from leaving this horrible life at gunpoint, with nooses in hand. We hung them for no provocation.

We watched as many states defied our nation as it turned against this practice. We fought a bloody war over slavery.

We freed those slaves only to give them no room in our society to integrate, to adapt, to thrive. Decades passed until we forced integration to happen.

And even then, even after centuries of nightmarish abuse, we didn’t really mean it. Yes, we combined our schools and our water fountains.

We told them they could vote, and then we gerrymandered their districts to make their vote meaningless. We told them they could work at our jobs, and then we hired them in at the lowest wages possible, doing the worst work, and kept them out of power, kept them from advancing.

We told them they just needed to get an education in order to compete with us, and then we let their schools rot with underfunding and bad policies.

We told black people that they were equal to us, and then did everything we could to make that not the case. Then, to make it even worse, we let our children believe that black people were the problem. We told them that black people were inferior, and prone to crime and violence, and that we should fear them and even hate them.

And now we are offended if people of color destroy some property in a rage when we execute them, unarmed in the streets?

We argue with them when they try to tell us what is wrong with the situation, which we should have seen for ourselves. We argue with them when they tell us that we should take down the symbol of that hatred, that symbol of the war fought to keep slavery. We argue with them when they tell us about our very real problem.

How dare we? How dare we?

So I ask you again, white people: Where are you?

There is a war on, right now, for the heart and soul of this very nation…and you’re AWOL. There is a war on, to either keep the institution of slavery in its newer, slightly lesser form, or to keep the promises made in the Constitution all those years ago. There is a war to decide if this nation is a great nation, one worthy of admiration and emulation, or to decide to continue our path of hatred, fear and punishment towards a people who never asked to be brought here in the first place.

There is a war on, and most of you sit, silent. Or worse, you sit and talk. You talk, and talk, and you talk some more, when instead you should be listening and learning.

Imagine that you are a 911 operator, and a call for help comes in. Would you sit and listen to the caller, and find out what the problem is in order to best address it, or would you cut that caller off and start to tell them what the problem is, and what they should do about it? Why do you think they are calling for help, if they could fix it themselves?

The sad reality is that people of color in America cannot fix the problem of racism. They cannot fix the problem because it is not within them. It is within us, white people. It is within our midst. It is the root cause of all the pain we see in the black community. It is a problem that we allow to persist when we should be snuffing it out. We cannot expect those marching in protest of all the wrongs and atrocities to do all the hard work of fixing this problem, but it seems that they are the only ones working very hard at it. We rationalize it away, we ignore it, we whitesplain it until in the end, it remains; unscathed and unabated.

The time is long past when we should have dealt with this. However, we are right here, right now. We are finally looking at this problem, and we have a choice: we can continue to let it destroy our nation and sit among the ashes, or we can get up and work to fix it.

This moment, this day, this time: This is our choice. How will we choose? What will we teach our children? What legacy will we leave behind for them? How will we push ahead into the future?

I’d love to say that of course, we will step up and start working on it right away, with no argument or complaint. I know this will not be the case, though. Therefore, I see myself as one person who will say what needs to be said. There are many who stand with me, who are standing up and telling America to fix this problem. You need to listen to us, white America, and take heed.

Get up, white America. Wake up. Stand up. You have work to do, and it’s way overdue. Get off your lily white azzes, get off your high horses, roll up your sleeves and get to work. NOW.

It will never happen as long as the Republican ,Supremacist Party is around,and control all the money.

Sincerely,

P.M.B?,,,,Good Luck

more nonsense, how many trillions have whites given to help blacks get out of poverty. Blacks go to the same schools, the same stores and so on as I do so what are blacks being denied. You are an idiot PMB. There are many very well off blacks who have worked hard and done well fer themselves.

+1 PMB Are u trans black ?

[Rabbithoundjb]

Racism is a political tool and a financial tool, there are and will always will be racists, biggots and so on from all nationalities but they should by now be few. Racism is used by the the lazy, uneducated, non productive as a cruch. Why are there so many people of different cultures so successful in america, because they made the right choses, took advantage of their oppertunities. They didn't sit on their azzes making excuses and blaming someone else for their discisions. Why aren't you PMB taking all of everyones cull dogs and taking care of them, I am sure they have just been denied oppertunity.

[bluemouse]

Pinemooch how much do they charge you for stupid pills clown. Last week it was war on women, then rich against the poor, then white againts black, then flag against hate. This is all you liberal idiots do through lies. You proved thru your John Hagee post you are nothing more than a babbling liberal idiots the sprews what the rest of the idiot liberal want you believe.

[cris axtell/coal hill ken]

He (PMB) really does need some professional help.

[bluemouse]

No Cris, Foxworthy was right when he said you can't fix stupid.

Pine Mtn,
Its a shame when we are not taught in schools the whole truth about our history and the effects its had on us all in so many ways.
The flag that is being talked about in the last few days is just one example.
What do the stripes represent? why that many stars? Why does it match in so many ways what is printed on our paper currency?
Example: how many arrows in her hand? How many steps up to top of the pyramid?
One never mentioned is who was the first legal slave holder in our country? The answer to that one is Anthony Johnson, a black man from Virginia. There are many pictures of Confederate soldiers who were black as well, as ALL wanted Independence from the oppressive north.
Back in the early 1960's we here in the Birmingham Steel mills had to pay taxes and transportation back to Pittsburg, PA and then again back to us on any steel we made here in the South so it was cheaper to buy it from the north to save having double shipping charges. This USA unfair practice started during the Civil War and lasted that long as just one of punishment for the South.
If Abe Lincoln was so interested in freeing blacks from slavery that he fought a war over it, why when it started in 1861 did he wait until 1863 to order slaves freed from their owners in the north?
You see, this history was taught in grammar school down here so that flag matters more as does the things on our money, statutes, graveyards and courthouses and its not up north.
I beg you, study up.
Politics are still a misdirection game and always will be.

[Rabbithoundjb]

John PMB has been bought and paid for with our tax money he long ago sold his ability to have independent thought or to actually seek the truth. He just repeats the lefts talking points/lies, posts satire, posts leftist communist articles and so on. PMB research for truth, LMAO!!!!

[bluemouse]

These same clowns that want to remove the confederate flag sit and watch the American being burned every week and turn a blind eye and cry about their agenda.

[Pine Mt Beagles]

John
Abe Lincoln owned Slaves,,

The Stars,,represented the States ,That were Traitors to America,,who wanted The Benefits of the United States,with out Paying for it,,Just like You Republicans Today.

The Southern States who Split an Started the Civil War ,were Traitors,just Like, The 47 Republican Traitors ,who tried to Join the Terrorist in Iran.

Politics is a Twisted Game,,,True,
but facts are Facts.

But,at least now You guy's Can get. Married,,should Make Bluemouse. And Rabbit Happy.LOL

The only thing Wrong with You guy's is you were NOT BORN BLACK,,AND YOU ARE JELOUS SINCE THEY HAVE IT SO GOOD ACCORDING, TO YOU.

That's a typical idiotic response we've all come to know and love from Dufus...

For those who can understand TRUTH...the South had EVERY RIGHT to secede from the Union. Idiots like Rufus think the civil war was fought over slavery. Only a small part of the Civil war was over slavery. The biggest part of it was fought over their independence. States rights...succession and yes slavery...slavery being the least.

Abraham Lincoln said if it meant preserving the Union he would either keep every slave a slave or free every slave...whichever would achieve the goal of preservation.
While he personally was against slavery if it would have jet the US whole he would have allowed them to remain slaves.

Rufus, you are not only an illiterate idiot you are also woefully ignorant of US history.

[bluemouse]

Pinemooch you still prove to be a idiot with every post. The real reason the civiled war start is the south don't want to be ran over by big goverment, alot of the crap you and the clueless spew is just by products of the war. What the Confederate flag stand for is the peoples rights to be free from a controlling goverment. You being a slave to the liberal idiots will never understand that truth. Mercy pinemooch read your post again it looks to be written by a retard. Maybe If I can train you a little (naw) your a cluelees clown.
