Juneteenth: Sorry, no deal

[Moonglow]

Well since people want to give republicans all this credit and that something like polichic will proudly declare how Frederick Douglass was a black republican:

“What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days of the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy - a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation of the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.”

Frederick Douglas​

“The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man."

A quote by Malcolm X

The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man. Let me explain what I mean by the white liberal. In America there ...

www.goodreads.com

Also Malcolm X

“Times have changed and the worst enemy that the Negro has today is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and claims to be calling out liberals. Following these white conservatives will continue perpetuating problems that Negros have. The Negro cannot be taken, tricked or deceived by the white conservatives, and must continue to get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in 21st Century America, the history of the white conservative has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal is the one with the problem. Our problems will never be solved by the white man, liberal or conservative.” -- Malcolm X, 2021

"It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived."
Coulter

It could have happened to those whites but they only got picked on for a generation. Then their kids assimilated and became white.

Do you know why Dearborn, MI is doing so well even though there are a lot of Arabs there? Because we didn't cut them off from the economic opportunity like we did the blacks in Detroit. And we strategically put them in Dearborn to be a buffer between us whites and the blacks. Literally cut them off from all the economic opportunities.

If you look at the reddest states you'll see the same thing. Located next to the richest white neighborhoods are always a really poor black community that the whites can exploit. They can cut their grass or be their maids but you whites aren't hiring them for the good paying jobs.

And when were there no liberals around? When was that era?

True the guy that mowed my lawn was black he had about 100 people working for him, most were those terrible white people. You need to take a self awareness course.

Thanks to us liberals and affirmative action

In force for a generation, equal opportunity laws have brought blacks in large numbers into corporate managerial ranks. Starting from almost total exclusion, blacks now hold positions of responsibility, with prestige and income that our parents often thought impossible. Between 1977 and 1982 alone, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the proportion of minority managers rose from 3.6% to 5.2%. EEO data from 1982 show that of all “officials and managers,” 4.3% were blacks (including 1.6% black females) and 20.4%, white females. The companies that led this progress deserve commendation for their efforts in recruiting, hiring, and promoting not only blacks but also other minority members and women too.

A sampling of headlines from the last few years underscores these perceptions: (New York Times, November 29, 1985), “Many Blacks Jump Off The Corporate Ladder: Feeling Their Rise Limited” (Wall Street Journal, August 2, 1984), “Progress Report on the Black Executive: The Top Spots Are Still Elusive” (Business Week, February 20, 1984), “They Shall Overcome: Black managers soon learn that getting through the corporate door is only the first of their problems” (Newsweek, May 23, 1983), “Job-Bias Alert: Roadblocks Out Of The Closet” (Wall Street Journal.....

Two surveys of Fortune “1000” companies show that as of 1979 and 1985 these businesses have not made even a dent in moving minorities and women into the senior ranks. The 1979 survey of 1,708 senior executives cited three as being black, two Asian, two Hispanic, and eight female. The 1985 survey of 1,362 senior executives found four blacks, six Asians, three Hispanics, and 29 women. I think it’s fair to say that this is almost no progress at all.

Great job, Liberals.

It has more to do with level of education which reflects in median income.

The myth is that companies are color-blind. “We don’t tolerate discrimination of any kind, and we’ve instituted procedures to make that a fact,” is a typical comment by a white executive. More accurately, discrimination is ever present but a taboo topic—for blacks as well as whites. If you want to move up, you don’t talk about it.

When top executives talk about hiring at the lower end, it’s not taboo. Often it’s actually obligatory for the sake of affirmative action. But when a black middle manager thinks he (or she) has been held back by a white boss because of race, he faces a tough choice. If he remains silent, he is stigmatized by the boss’s action and may find his career pigeonholed. But if he speaks up, he is liable to be marked “too sensitive, a troublemaker, not a team player” and lose in the long run even if he proves unfairness.

......... I could prove you're a racist too only you're too much of a coward to answer direct question. .....

Then ask one. Go ahead and ask a legitimate question, brainless.

Told you so.

Told me so what?

It took all of 2 years for Democrats to train black Americans to worship criminals like George Floyd, beg for violence on the streets via “defund the police” and to celebrate segregation in the form of “black Independence Day”.

I just cannot comprehend the rampant stupidity.

Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) June 17, 2021

This is why blacks don't vote GOP.

And I notice unkotare never calls you out for the shit you say.

You are confused Moon Bat.

I didn't say that. Candace Owens did. A Black chick that is not afraid to call a spade a spade.

One of your favorite uncle toms. Or Aunt Tam.

I would appreciate Candice Owens if she was preaching this shit in the black community instead she's peddling her bullshit to white racists. She's smart. You're buying what she's selling.

To you confused and demented Moon Bats any Black that isn't on welfare, looting, committing a crime or otherwise being the typical sorry ass Negro is a "Uncle Tom".

Nonsense. What percent of the black population would you say is doing at least as good as you if not better?

And what percent of blacks vote Democratic?

So there are a whole lot of blacks more successful than you who vote Democratic. How do you explain that? They aren't on welfare, looting, committing crimes.

Your bias towards blacks is showing just like your camel toe.

Since black slaves were kidnapped and forcefully shipped here against their will under bondage, then why weren't they sent back to Africa after they were freed? Wouldn't that have been the compassionate thing to do? Why aren't modern day blacks clamoring to go back to Africa as soon as they can with all this talk of "systemic racism" and "white supremacy?" Why on earth would they want to stay here? They don't call themselves Americans, they call themselves African Americans, as though that's the country they love and identify with. So then, what's stopping them from going back?

Why dont you and your ilk fuck off back to Europe ?

They are not wanted here.

Great job, Liberals.

Most of the damage was done from 2000-2008 when Bush was in charge. Illegal employers, sending millions of high paying blue collar manufacturing jobs overseas or down south,

George Bush's Great Recession was the greatest recession since the Great Depression. You'll blame Freddy Mack and Fannie May, Bernie, Hillary, Clinton, anyone but the Republicans who purposely sent our highest paying (union) jobs overseas in order to break unions and renig on pensions.

So don't complain about wages. You did it. Meanwhile CEO pay has skyrocketed and you defend it. So clearly we see who's the house slave (you)

Only in America is the Union General the slave holder and the Confederate General the one that makes special pains to free all his. . .

. . . and most Americans are ignorant of all this.


i.e.

THIS?

Is the flag of freedom and liberation. . .

. . . and this?

The flag of conquest and oppression.

Interesting, isn't it?

Since black slaves were kidnapped and forcefully shipped here against their will under bondage, then why weren't they sent back to Africa after they were freed? Wouldn't that have been the compassionate thing to do? Why aren't modern day blacks clamoring to go back to Africa as soon as they can with all this talk of "systemic racism" and "white supremacy?" Why on earth would they want to stay here? They don't call themselves Americans, they call themselves African Americans, as though that's the country they love and identify with. So then, what's stopping them from going back?

Why? Because Lincoln was assassinated. His plan was to round up and send all blacks back to Africa. During his lifetime he had a program to repatriate blacks who voluntarily wanted to return to Africa. Passage was paid along with money to begin a new life. More than whites had when they came to America. Repatriated slaves founded the county of Liberia. Had Lincoln not been shot, there would be NO african American descendants of slaves in this country today.

Sending them back is an ideal solution to an intractable problem.

Sad state of affairs when America is just catering to the Lowest Common Denominator

Care to expound on this notion?

If you can not understand than you are part of the LCD problem

America has catered to white racists since it started, so yes it is a sad state of affairs how America has always catered to the Lowest Common Denominator.

Nice try but America has bent over backwards to help your people to no avail. Even with lowering the qualifications and affirmative action your 13%of the population has not improved much if at all.

No America has not done that.

All Rise!

This afternoons lesson:

400 Years OF White Government Handouts (redux}

In 1618, the Virginia colony passed "the Great Charter of privileges, orders, and laws." Among these laws was a provision that any person who settled in Virginia or paid for the transportation of another person to settle in Virginia would get fifty acres of land for each immigrant. The right to receive fifty acres per person, or per head, was called a headright. It got even better for colonists as those who paid for slaves also got 50 acres per slave. The practice was continued by the government of Virginia remaining in effect for 161 years until May 1779. Headrights were not only limited to Virginia. The headright system was used in Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Headrights were just the first of many government handouts of free stuff or guarantees providing whites with economic development assistance.

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of this land. Included in the constitution is the 3/5th’s compromise. The Three-Fifths Compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. It says: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other Persons.”

On March 26, 1790, the United States of America decided who could be a citizen of this country for the first time. This was a congressional decision named The Naturalization Act of 1790. The act states: “any alien, being a free white person,” could apply for citizenship, so long as he or she lived in the United States for at least two years, and in the state where the application was filed for a minimum of one year. This law also provided that “children of citizens of the United States that may be born … out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural-born citizens.” Please notice the first 7 words. Only whites were entitled to be citizens of this country. Never mind the Native American nations already here. Blacks could forget about it. But hey “we’ve never been given anything because of our race.”

One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in this nation’s history was a direct rebuttal to the claim of all men are created equal called Dred Scott v. Sandford. I am not going into all the particulars of this case. I am not a law professional or legal expert. The court’s opinion says all you need to know. “A black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect.” Just think about that one. Can anyone say special rights or extra rights? Because that is the result of Dred Scott v. Sandford. Whites were given additional rights and special status while blacks had no rights and no constitutional protection by law.

During the Homestead Act, 1.5 million families were given 246 million acres of land. Research shows that 99.73 percent of that land went to white families.

24 million white immigrants were able to become landowners upon entering this country due to this program.

The program provided white immigrants with land worth between 740 billion to 1.6 trillion dollars, or approximately 500,000(min) dollars per each white family in todays dollars that blacks were excluded from

Source: "The Black Tax," pg.49

40 percent of the white population today, 93 million, are living on free land that blacks could not get during the homestead act.

Also, several government programs were created to help whites in this westward expansion.

For those who do not understand the reality of how the past extends into today, I present you with the Morrill Act of 1862. Early American society was based on agriculture. By the mid-1800s, the U.S. population was more than 80 percent rural. So as Dr. King so eloquently described, the government saw the need to provide education and services to assist whites moving west to help them survive on the free land the government provided. Because of that, the United States Congress passed the Morrill Act of 1862, better known as the Land Grant Act. The act gave each state 30,000 acres of land per senator that was to be used to provide education in agriculture, home economics, mechanical arts, or any other profession available during that time in America. They used the grants of land to build colleges, thus Land Grant colleges are one result of the Morrill Act.

The National Housing Act was a law passed by Congress and signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934. This law created the Federal Housing Administration or the FHA. The National Housing Act is probably the policy that has provided the greatest impact on individual wealth accumulation in modern America. Unfortunately, the formation of the FHA and its guaranteed loan program only worked to increase white advantage. This law expanded the power of the federal government which helped it more effectively monitor the American economy. Many of today’s republicans complaining about how government expansion is wrong, benefitted from this government expansion. I say this because the FHA was able to create a guaranteed home loan program whereby potential homebuyers could get bank loans guaranteed against default by the government. But the government had standards and most of those standards were based on racist beliefs.

Between 1934 and 1968, the FHA implemented and put into practice a policy that still negatively impacts communities today. It began by publishing The Underwriting Manual which set the guidelines real estate agents used to assess the value and creditworthiness of different homes and neighborhoods. This manual promoted racist real estate practices by defending racially restrictive covenants and segregated communities. Due to this manual, the FHA was able to establish a neighborhood grading system based purely on false racist perceptions.

Redlining was the name of that grading system.

The Social Security Act of 1935 created the Social Security program, state unemployment insurance, and assistance to single women with children. Today most Americans love the program. However, when the act was signed, the law was made to exclude occupations that were mainly occupied by blacks. When President Roosevelt signed the law, 65 percent of blacks in America were ineligible. So for years a majority of blacks were excluded from social security savings and could not get unemployment.

Title 4 or IV of the social security act of 1935 called for grants in aid to be provided to each stated as Aid To Dependent Children. “ Eventually the name of the program was changed to Aid to Families with Dependent Children. This was welfare folks. Assistance for white single moms with children without daddy at home. In 1935. Blacks were excluded.

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 created the minimum wage and time and a half overtime pay for working over forty hours a week. Child labor was eliminated by this act. All these were good things but… This is the trouble with so many things in the history of America. There is always a but. Being imperfect, we all have buts and not just the ones we sit on. Yet in some cases, the word but comes before critical facts that change how we see things. In every law that was passed as part of The New Deal, Roosevelt had to make a compromise with southern representatives to get the votes he needed. In the case of the FLSA, he decided that industries would be excluded from the regulations where the majority of workers were black. Because of this, blacks were paid less than the minimum wage.

On June 22, 1944, President Roosevelt signed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act, better known as the G.I. Bill. This law provided benefits for veterans returning from the Second World War. Funds were paid for college tuition, low-cost home loans, and unemployment insurance. As in every other program during this time southern congressmen fought passage of these laws unless there were provisions that limited access to blacks. The G.I Bill was no different.

Democratic congressmen in the south fought against provisions of the GI Bill out of fear that returning black veterans might be able to pressure southern whites using public support for veterans to end the white dependence on cheap black labor and the white racial preferences better known as, “the southern “way of life.” Southern Democrats using the same tactics they used to make certain other policies in the New Deal helped as few black people as possible, wanted benefits to be administered by the states. Mississippi Congressman John Rankin was the ringleader in that regard. He and other Southern Democrats knew doing that would allow southern states to do what each state had been doing since the Civil Rights Cases. That would be states implementing policies full of loopholes and restrictions that would be enforced on blacks but not whites thereby ensuring the GI Bill would primarily benefit whites. Northern Republicans gave southern Democrats what they wanted.

I am going to present a policy here that many will not believe has benefitted whites. However, the statistics regarding white wealth between the time the policy was implemented until now shows that this program has benefitted white families more than anyone else by increasing family income due to the creation of more double wage earning families. That policy is Affirmative Action. Yes, that’s right, Affirmative Action has helped whites more than anyone else.

“Hoping to create in white men and women a shared sense of victimization at the hands of people of color, conservatives have made sure to ignore whatever gains have come to women through affirmative action and have sought to “racialize” the debate and its attendant imagery.”

One might say; “How do you figure, Affirmative Action was made for blacks! Wrong! Affirmative Action was created to combat discrimination and blacks have not been the only ones discriminated against. So here we introduce another protected group, women. That includes white women.

On June 17, 2013 Sally Kohn wrote an article in Time titled, “Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone.” Kohn provides this historical backdrop for the implementation including the reasons why President Johnson added women: “Originally, women weren’t even included in legislation attempting to level the playing field in education and employment. The first affirmative-action measure in America was an executive order signed by President Kennedy in 1961 requiring that federal contractors “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.” In 1967, President Johnson amended this, and a subsequent measure included sex, recognizing that women also faced many discriminatory barriers and hurdles to equal opportunity.” Kohn continues by stating that while Affirmative Action has helped people of color, it has disproportionately benefitted white women.

“While people of color, individually and as groups, have been helped by affirmative action in the subsequent years, data and studies suggest women — white women in particular — have benefited disproportionately. According to one study, in 1995, 6 million women, the majority of whom were white, had jobs they wouldn’t have otherwise held but for affirmative action.”

Sally Kohn​

The National Womens Law Center did a study on Affirmatives Action and found that: “Women of color have lagged particularly far behind in both employment and education. For example, in 1998, the median weekly salary for Black women was $400 compared to $468 for white women and $615 for white men. Hispanic women earned a median weekly income of only $337. Even in sectors where women have made inroads into management, minority women continue to be underrepresented. In the banking industry, only 2.6% of executive, managerial and administrative jobs were held by Black women, and 5% by Hispanic women, compared to 37.6% by white women. In the hospital industry, Black and Hispanic women each held 4.6% of these jobs, while white women held 50.2%. At the top, women of color represented only 11.2% of all corporate officers in Fortune 500 companies. Women of color also earn fewer college degrees than white women. In 1997, white women made up 39% of college undergraduates and 42% of graduate students; minority women were only 16% of undergraduates and 10% of graduate students.”

Tim Wise had a paper published in the National Women’s Studies Association Journal in the fall of 1998 titled, “Is Sisterhood Conditional?: White Women and the Rollback of Affirmative Action”. His paper was about the reluctance of some white women to advocate for Affirmative Action despites the gains white women had achieved from the policy over the 30 years at that time, due to the policy.

“Thanks in large measure to affirmative action and civil rights protections that opened up previously restricted opportunities to women of all colors, from 1972-1993:

— The percentage of women architects increased from 3% to nearly 19% of the total;

— The percentage of women doctors more than doubled from 10% to 22% of all doctors;

— The percentage of women lawyers grew from 4% to 23% of the national total;

— The percentage of female engineers went from less than 1% to nearly 9%;

— The percentage of female chemists grew from 10% to 30% of all chemists; and,

— The percentage of female college faculty went from 28% to 42% of all faculty.

The gender benefits of affirmative action have extended beyond economically privileged women, expanding opportunity for working-class women as well: The 1985 Perkins Act, which requires states to set aside 10.5% of federal vocational-education funds for girls and women — such as displaced homemakers and single-mothers — has helped these women find new jobs to support themselves and their families. In Florida, thanks to this program, more than 70% of women receiving voc-ed funds found new jobs, at pay levels averaging twice their prior salaries (National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education 1995).”

These increases in white women graduating college then entering into higher paying fields formerly dominated by men increased the earnings of white women. Since white men were already disproportionately represented in high paying positions, as white women married those men, their earnings combined with his further increased white wealth. White women have been the number one beneficiary of Affirmative Action. At the same time, white women have been the fiercest in opposition to the policy. This is an example of the denial a portion of the white population has displayed pertaining to matters of race and overall American equal rights.

So no, America has not done what desperation has claimed.

Posting shit that doesn't pertain to today is pointless.

We should always remember the lengths the democrat party went to to keep their black slaves

The Southern Democrats or Grant the Union general? Both of those had slaves.

Just remember this. Today it's 14 Republicans who voted against black people.

The House overwhelmingly passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act on Wednesday by a vote of 415 to 14, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden’s desk and putting the nation on the cusp of establishing a federal holiday marking the end of slavery.

If signed by Biden, the day will be the first new national holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.

This is all good but what will this actually do? I already celebrated Juneteenth without the approval of whites. Its not going to reverse the affects of centuries of slavery or the decades of systemic racism Black people have endured in this country. Is it just another "starting point"? If so a starting point for what?

Now this is your Black Independence Day, when whites informed some negroes they were free. You don’t have to celebrate July 4th Independence Day as that is a white holiday now.

Isn’t segregated holidays what you all wanted?

I dont celebrate the 4th of July. It would be like celebrating a pagan holiday. I dont care what white people celebrate. So no.... segregated holidays is not a thing to me at all.

Many blacks celebrate July 4th

This is true. I just happen not to be one of them.
