Jed, they will say that they ‘inherited’ the economy and the housing collapse from Bush. Of course, the below videos show that the Administration and Republicans repeatedly tried to regulate F&F, but were derailed by Barney Frank and several black Congressmen — yes, BLACK Congressmen whether you want to hear that or not. It’s not a racist thing; it’s a truth thing. And, I’m a female of color, too, but I’m sick and tired of the racist African-Americans in America who think they can get away with anything and just blame America’s problems on the ‘white man’. It is not right that there’s a set of laws and standards for one race, and not for another. White people have to tiptoe everytime they speak their mind because others might consider their statement ignorant, disrespectful, insensitive or racist.
I’m married to a white man, and our mixed-race 11 year old son one day was walking around a grocery store and he was joking out loud with me about something and he said, “There’s goes the neighborhood.” No one heard the first parts of his story, which had absolutely no racial undertones whatsoever, but once the caucasians and blacks heard that one sentence about the neighborhood, everyone looked at my son like they were going to kill him. And I have to admit, I was embarrassed that my son said that sentence, too, even though he didn’t mean anything racial about it.
And that is where this country has come. The white man or non-black has to walk on egg shells, but the black man or woman can scream anything they want and even perpetrate fraudulent voting acts, and the law and their neighbors will protect them. But not the white man. Reverse discrimination, reverse affirmative action died decades ago. And that, my friends, is just downright unfair, unconstitutional and goes against civil rights and what Martin Luther King wanted as a color-blind society.
