BUCHANAN TO OBAMA
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race
in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way
conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured
to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions,
grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for
black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in
slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to
Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and
prosperity blacks have ever known.. Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his
knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up
blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '
60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell
grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits
and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into
the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in
discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract
set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over
America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult
education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for
blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in
Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters
handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...?Is white America
really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for
African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really
white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community
has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some
cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and
foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in
interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack
Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the
time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times
more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times
as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about
Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be
hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we
hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before,
about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed
around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!

"With experience, no explanation is necessary,
without experience, no explanation is possible."

My opinion is just that, my opinion.
So make no investment decisions based on my opinion.
