AMOM's Blog

Amom,

I don't understand your point... could you be more specific.

We-are the world,

He humbles those who dwell on high,
he lays the lofty city low;
he levels it to the ground
and casts it down to the dust.

Feet trample it down—
the feet of the oppressed,
the footsteps of the poor.

Isaiah wishes you a blessed day as well.

I don't play cards... I'm part white and often apologize to myself for all that cotton.

You're kidding yourself if you believe oppression can be wrapped up in a quiant trite snobbish little cliche' like race card.

Playing with a full deck means acknowledging all the cards that are in the deck. You are the oppressor through a sin of omission.

Save your breath Legholas - anything anyone says will be ignored - these 'people' WANT to be a victim! That is what they live and abide by - poor pitiful me syndrome! That is their excuse for crime, for sloth, for greed, for trash, for destruction, for ignorance, for laziness, for no education, for populating the world with illetgimiate kids that no one knows 'who the babby daddy is'! They can't function without the feeling sorry for themselves - it isn't going to change. This is what they are taught from their first breath. It's unfortunate, but accurate!

we are all the "them". the term minority. that is a nonsense term. when does the minority become the majority. does only sheer numbers count? is oppression taught? do people tilt at windmills? do they cry before they are hurt? do they think because of a time in history, way before their time they are owed something? everyone of us to a man should take responsibilty for their own actions, stop waiting for everyone to feel sorry for their plight, real or imagined. each and every snowflake is unlike any other snowflake, packed together it is a clump of snow. be a snowflake not a clump. respect all of the other snowflakes because together we make a difference too.

inri... last post not about your post.

That time in history your are talking about is happening right now. There are Obama supporters being severely treated in many towns of this nation. This would have been the case if it had been Colin Powell. Face up to it folks... you need to clean the racist out of your own house. We've already done that... we've already cleaned the powerful racist groups out of black society. The ones not supplied by other power groups that is. Time for you people to do the same.

Oh sure dust off the old reverse racist arguement. You're the one making blanket criticisms of an entire segment of the population and now their also racist. Are you stupid? If blacks are reverse racist then you're a double reverse racist...

Oh wow look I can quote MLK and not bat an eyelash and say "Well we killed him because we loved him so much we just want to quote him now and say why didn't "YOU PEOPLE" believe in him?"

Now you new minority types are whining cause you're getting a taste of the persecution of being a race... sad. Yeah... go ahead and keep with this pathetic brainwashed far right "I worked for everything I got and you're lazy" rhertoric. I'm not part white I'm an American! All American! My ancestors founded this country and you can't have it. Oh why don't you just come out of the closet and admit what you really believe. Talk here the things you only talk when you think some guy like me isn't standing next to you. I hear your very soul and know full well who and what you are.

I didn't whine when I held my hand up and swore to protect the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign... and domestic. And neither did Pastor Wright when he served in the Marine Corps. And while I'll agree somewhat that what gets preached in that church is not the message I would sit under for very long I sure as hell understand why some folks do. And if you don't understand then I suggest you go look in the mirror. Oppression makes a wise man mad. And you are an oppressor... your words to me bear that out and my words to you brought that out.

However, your recognition of my insanity bears reflection on your own does it not? If one whines about people whining is he not also... a whiner?

Alot of folks play the blame game... don't be so ignorant as to believe that black people have cornered the market on that. I'm a retired veteran if you'd bothered to read my profile. I just don't buy it when folks say they earned everything they got when some folks work real hard and get nothing cause other folks accuse them of getting ahead just because they're black. And that's what people like you do isn't it? You complain that some black man made out better than a white man who was "more qualified" (as if in your mind there was a white man who lived that could be less qualified).

Yeah... you did it all yourself earned it all yourself didn't have a thing to do with who you are and who you grew up with and how you grew up believing. No blessing in there at all you did it all you're just all that and a bag of chips and God forbid anyone should tell you to count your blessing.

Agreed... well, I'm done. Gonna go take my meds and settle down to a nice relaxing dinner with my American family. They all like Barack and think that planned parenthood is a good thing... I like Mc Cain and think it's about time we had troops in the middle east instead of just lobbing cruise missles at suspected training camps.

So as you can see I'm mixed up in more ways than one. My old Guard unit is heading back "Over There" at the end of the summer. It breaks my heart that I won't be going with them... Guys in my unit used to have conversations like this... I was usually just a mediator and a diplomatic joke maker. I've suprised myself on these blogs lately.

I find it hard to believe the incredible amount of misconceptions thrown about here.
Not all blacks destroy rob or kill.
Not all whites are opressors.
You are talking about such a small segment of both peoples. 95% of us are good honest hard working people. By us I mean humans. It is just that 5% gets noticed. Does anyone notice the ditch digger, the soldier, the doctor or any other occupation. No. We notice the lowlifes. Why is this? Are we just glad we are not them?
Someone stated to me one time that I am the exception to the rule. That I was different from most black men. I say emphatically that I am the rule. I am the norm. We want the same things. A good life. Period. It is time to grow up as a nation and see where this is leading us. United we stand. Divided we fall.
Just let it go, worry about your own life and get on with it.
