Mrs. McGann and I had a spat on twitter. Where she called me a Racist. Having red her Open Letter to Whites. I have a few thoughts to share. First the Race canard about Slavery is old, tired, and an excuse. Others come to this Nation with less than many African Americans do. And have achieved. Because they are not looking for Bogeymen and excuses for failure. The Race Hustler uses the Race Card as a reason to extort White Guilt for past injustices. And they are many. Yet one of the most aggrieved groups is Native Americans (Indians) who have no effective lobby. And have health issues, alcoholism, drug abuse, chronic unemployment, chronic poverty and they don’t make the excuses African Americans do.
Black Conservatives like Bob Parks who is a member of Project 21 point out that before Affirmative Action Blacks were making headway in America, with segregation, Racism, and discrimination. The primary problem has been the destruction of the Black Family and generational dependence on Government handouts. Instead of independence through Business Ownership and jobs.
America is becoming a more diverse nation. Ironically Mrs. McGann’s Husband is White. Proof that Racism in the broader sense is declining. My Son in Law is Black. He and my Daughter have Three Sons. My own family reflects the growing diversity of our Nation. Which is a good thing.
The Navel Gazing of those crying Racism is not a cure for their problem. Black on Black Crime is out of control in Chicago’s South side. Where an Honor Student was killed in a Gang fight recently.
Dr. Bill Cosby has called out fellow Blacks for squandering the opportunity given to them by the US. It is time for Victimhood politics to be discarded. The Race Card is a losing card. I wish Mrs. McGann and her family well. This is a difference of opinion and not an attack on her personally.
