I
just watched a show on 60 Minutes, July 12, 2015, about people over
55 joining a singing group. The stage show is about what these
people's lives were like and what happened to them and how singing
saved them. But the main idea I got from this is that those older
blacks are no different from our parents and grandparents....they
overcame adversity and became strong Americans...without handouts
There was no one that 'felt sorry for us.' We had no freebies and
took responsibility for our lives. No bad feelings, just that you
kept going.
That
is not the story today. Our media and government has raised a whole
group of people, black and white, that believe they are entitled.
Our parents did not think that. We all thought that no matter how
hard and sad your lives were, you sucked it up and went on. Black
and whites...same things. Those Americans are much stronger and
wiser than most kids today. Black Americans were Americans long
before most Europeans that came over here. And they would have
continued being a positive contribution to this Republic except for
the media that told young blacks in the 60s that 'being a slave was a
bad thing.'
These
black people in the 60s had never been slaves, could not identify a
slave in their families and did not feel like slaves. And evidently
did not believe the lie Jews told them that 'White people are the
reason for our woes.' So, being a solution person, I would like to
join with these older blacks in trying to save our Republic. It is
my responsibility, as an American that remembers before Civil Rights
tore our races apart, to make this right. I think the 'over 55'
group can be very powerful. We started out in the same boat and we
are all now in a much worse boat.
What
changed after us? We had jobs. That is not the case today and
hasn't been since our government let our industries leave this
Republic. And our present government is not about to change that.
Instead, our government takes down the Confederate flag. I hope the
families of blacks that served during the Civil War are ticked.
This
is not about a flag. It is about taking away symbols of our Republic
in order to destroy it. Government's response to ANY emergency is
always knee-jerk, reactive and wrong. Anyone have an idea how to
reach these older blacks?
