Attention Black Folks! Barack messed it up. Eveybody out of the pool!

Senate leader: Merge historically black colleges | ajc.com

Legislators in Georgia want to merge some HBCU's in with the predominately white colleges. Surely, you are not surprised. Every since election night, the real agenda has become more and more evident. First, as President-elect Obama was about to win, Bill Bennett on CNN kept commenting that he guessed that blacks could stop making excuses about educational disparities and how whites are holding them back. After all, Barack had to get student loans, go to some of the most prestigious universities, graduate the top of his class and spend almost a billion dollars to do it. The next morning Meredith on the Today Show said that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream had finally been realized although I did not know he dreamed of becoming President. Recently in the state of Arkansas, the Governor stated that it is time to end payments ordered by the courts from a 1989 desegregation lawsuit, not assess if the payments have solved the problem, or to what extent was the real problem or if it could be addressed in other ways, the sentiment is that its time to end it.

In all of these instances the prevalent thought is, enough is enough, not have we solved any problems that we won't have to revisit years down the line. We need to make it equal for everybody and spread the wealth. Simply put, black folks, now that Barack has been elected any and all social services, issues and agendas are being re-evaluated and folks you thought were on your side are not. Many that supported social issues that affected blacks and minorities basically did it out of guilt. America, for the most part, had pity on blacks and never saw black as being equal or even the need to be. This has been a long standing attitude in American history. Many of the abolitionist were for the slaves being free from slavery, but not a part of society as equal members. Barack ups the ante; not only are you equal enough, but I am gettin' some of my stuff back in the process. Black folks are going to have to make a conscious decision to determine their destiny for their future like never before. Folks that you thought were your friends are no longer your friends.

What ticked me off the most was the question that the talking heads kept asking black folks, "Do you think that we will see a decrease in racial issues?" This is a question that can not be answered by black folks. You have to ask the folks that are doing the racial discrimination. We didn't sit at the back of the bus because it was cooler, nor was the march in Georgia a block party that got out of hand, and the hoses just cooled us off from the summer heat.

So tell Rev. Al to turn out the lights over at The National Action Network, vacate the NAACP, rename all the HBCU's as satellite campuses for the "mainstream" colleges, or just call them The College formerly know as... Hooray, we're equal! The clan is having a membership drive and has invited all available negroes. Call your state officials and see where you can get the voucher for your 40 and a mule!
