As a youth growing up in the 1950’s and 1960’s in a blue collar neighborhood on the east side of Buffalo N.Y., that was turning increasingly Afro-American, I know first hand what racism is. I grew up in racism and it was abundantly coming from both sides.<\/p>\n
Blacks were not a big problem in the high school that I went to. My big difficultly with blacks in those days was not in school it was walking to and from school. I walked three miles through a black section of Buffalo to get to school and to get home. In my first and second year it was not a problem because I could walk with my two older brothers who happened to have the two biggest guys in the whole school as friends that also walked with us through the black section. After they graduated from high school I usually had to walk through the black section alone and I soon got into trouble because black youth were always stopping me hassling me for spare change that I would not give.<\/p>\n
One day I got in a big hassle with a group of black teens that told me I had to give them a nickle. They were not taking no for an answer and there was at least a half dozen of them and the boxer want-to-be’s in that terrorist group started into their dance so I took off running toward white America and safety which was still about 10 blocks away. On the run, I encountered other black teens coming from the other direction and not knowing how they would react with a black gang chasing me I knocked a few of them out of my way and just kept running. When I got to the white area those chasing me did not follow me however from that day onward walking to school was like walking through a war zone.<\/p>\n
The next day when I walked home there was a gang of twenty or thirty kids just waiting for me to come through. I had to run into a factory to escape them. Police arrived and they dispersed so I got the opportunity to get out of there. The next time I tried to walk home I looked back and there were dozens of blacks closing in fast from behind. I took off running but before I could really get going I got a boot in the butt where I still have a scar today and I saw rocks being tossed past me the size of small boulders. They must of been carrying those rocks because they would not have had time to pick them up. Needless to say, I broke all track records running to white America.<\/p>\n
I still attempted the walk to and from school most days to save bus money for cigarettes etc., but I varied my route and timing to try to avoid those that always seemed to be looking for me on the way home. That often meant adding another mile or more to the trip home. At least once I was surrounded by black teens and the only thing that saved my butt was an adult Afro-America male with enough integrity to chastise the gang with a good verbal attack and threats. I soon learned that older black men were more tolerant and fair minded toward white kids then their youth. I always felt more secure when there was a older black male adult on the street when walking in black dominated areas.<\/p>\n
Anyway, that is only part of what I experienced in the way of racism as a youth. By living in that black\/white war zone among other things I experienced PTSD long before they even defined the disorder.<\/p>\n
Shortly after high school I went into the military and met some great black military men. Having one-on-one friendships with Afro-Americans in the military was never a problem but yet I still avoid walking in black neighborhoods alone if I can. I think whites who walk in inner city black areas at night must have a death wish.<\/p>\n
By 1968 my parents home was located well within a black neighborhood. I had just returned from Vietnam right after the race riots in the big American cities. Even cabbies would not go into black areas at night during that period. However, once again I learned that there were some black adults of integrity even in those difficult days.<\/p>\n
There was a black church on the end of the block and the pastor lived a couple of houses down from my parents.\u00a0The street that my parents lived on was quite different from most of the rest in that area thanks to a few black men of integrity from that church that did not allow things to get out of hand on their own block. The black people on that block went out of their way to look after my parents. I have to say that whites would never have done the same and they looked after the welfare of my parents for over twenty years. Houses on other blocks in that area of Buffalo have almost all burned down over the years but this block still looks as good as it did the day my parents moved there.<\/p>\n
My parents did not drive so my brother took my parents wherever they needed to go. After my brother died, black neighbors from the block came to take my mother shopping until she got so ill that she had to go live with my sister. So I learned through the actions of Afro-Americans on that block that blacks that did not allow themselves to become angry racists were some of the classiest nicest most respectful people of integrity on earth.<\/p>\n
A good example of that kind of Afro-American is Herman Cain. In my years in government I have had the pleasure of meeting Afro-Americans like Herman Cain that refused to judge people by the color of their skin and excel at what they do. Most that I got to know left racist thinking behind when they joined the military where blacks were treated as equals and racism was not tolerated. Cain did not join the military but he never took up racism because he had exceptional Christian parents that taught him to strive for excellence and integrity.<\/p>\n
Afro-Americans of integrity that worked hard like Cain and that made something of themselves are now being called Uncle Toms by the plantation Negros that never made any effort to become productive human beings. I am sure you know some self-made black men like Cain yourself. Some of these fine Afro-Americans of integrity are conservative columnists that also did not stay on the democratic plantation. Almost all of these black conservative columnists are devout Christians and all are telling the government plantation Negroes that they have been brainwashed and enslaved by the leftist designed collectivist entrapment system.<\/p>\n
Which brings up another point. Most Afro-American adults are Christians so why are most black Americans now supporting the likes of those that promote everything anti-Christ just because these evils are promoted by a black or a Democrat? Since when did abortion or gay marriage become acceptable in the Christian black community? And I have news, it was Abraham Lincoln of the Republican Party that freed the slaves not the Democrats.<\/p>\n
Some of the Democrat elite want to keep blacks on the government reservation because the white socialist elite think that blacks should be their plantation workers. In contrast, most conservatives always thought that black Americans given the education, have the same human brains to be their peers. It is not conservatives that are making it easy for black youth to abort their next generation. Learn the genocidal racism behind the woman that started Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n
Most conservative people want blacks to be free to be the best that they can be with the gifts that God has given them. The leftist liberal mind offers blacks slavery to government; the conservative Right and Libertarians offers everyone liberty and freedom. Few blacks understand this because the black overseers of the government plantations are making a good living brainwashing and race baiting blacks to keep them government dependents.<\/p>\n
For that reason alone I can see where Herman Cain can be a Moses like figure leading blacks out of slavery that has bound them in a psychological and ghetto like Egypt. It is time for Afro-Americans to quit killing themselves and others doing destructive things and strive to be Christians of high moral integrity like Herman Cain. I am not saying that you or I need to agree with all of Herman Cain’s political positions to do that but many Afro-Americans including whites can learn something positive from the Christian worldviews of this man.<\/p>\n
Many blacks growing up under women without husbands and that had gangs leaders as role models, never had a strong father figure in their lives. Cain has stepped up to try to lead our nation and other Afro-Americans like him also need to step up and be unquestionable examples of integrity to others.<\/p>\n
It is time for a moral revolution in the Afro-American community. The black community definitely could out Christianize the white Laodicean Christians in America if they put their heart and soul to it. Maybe then they can even lead white people to Christ that largely seems to have replaced the Christian message with humanistic philosophies, psychologies, physical prosperity messages and spiritual mysticism.<\/p>\n
We do not need an economic revolution in America we need a moral revolution and black men of Christian integrity can lead the way. By gaining riches many white people are gaining spiritual poverty but blacks in poverty working for Christ can gain eternal riches. What gets better than that? Let your light shine. That is what Herman Cain does and as you see it works. In Heaven or Hell do you really think that the tent color that you live in on earth is going to matter one whit? All whites and blacks need to rise above racist evil that evil men are trying to bring upon Americans and Christians to divide us. Whites can be racists, that we know, but you black people need to pull down your own idols of racism as well. I am speaking of those idols that you follow that are promoting racism in the black community by calling everything that white people do racism. I\u00a0 will even be called a racist by these people for telling people to refuse racism and instead choose to become men of integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a youth growing up in the 1950’s and 1960’s in a blue collar neighborhood on the east side of Buffalo N.Y., that was turning increasingly Afro-American, I know first hand what racism is.
