Aint That a Bitch!
Just when you thought racism was making its way out the door there is always one johnny reb getting the hood and gown fitted for the next run. Former Rep Joe Walsh made history for some of the worst things you can say about ALL young black men.
Not just noting the fact that not ONE single Republican accepted the invitation to the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. Besides the fact of being unemployed (FMR Rep Joe Walsh lost his job to Iraq war Vet Tammy Duckworth), and having his wife sue him in 2011 for back child support (totaling 117,437) the former law maker on Wednesday drafted a list of what he believes is ailing the Black race as a whole (because he has so much experience as being a Black in America).
Here is a preview of what he listed:
I have a dream that all black parents will have the right to choose where their kids attend school.
I have a dream that all black boys and girls will grow up with a father.
I have a dream that young black men will stop shooting other young black men.
I have a dream that all young black men will say "no" to gangs and to drugs.
I have a dream that all black young people will graduate from high school.
I have a dream that young black men won't become fathers until after they're married and they have a job.
I have a dream that young unmarried black women will say "no" to young black men who want to have sex.
I have a dream that today's black leadership will quit blaming racism and "the system" for what ails black America.
I have a dream that black America will take responsibility for improving their own lives.
I have a dream that one day black America will cease their dependency on the government plantation, which has enslaved them to lives of poverty, and instead depend on themselves, their families, their churches, and their communities.
All that was missing from this list was "I have a dream that all black Men could grow up to be good White Christian folk".This is outrageous not to mention disgusting in all instances. I bold all of the sections where "all" is injected as this former congressman is clearly out of touch with the black experience.
Now there maybe some people reading this and say well there is some truth to some of the sections. Let me clear the air for you, there are issues in the Black community as there are issues in the White community as there are issues in the Hispanic communities. For starters not all black men, or young black boys are into gangs and drug dealing.
Not all black men have children out of wedlock, and clearly from my understanding of the facts, not all prisons have only black prisoners. I could go down the list and name a series of black men that exemplifies what it is to be a responsible leader in their family and communities however that would be anecdotal.
Therefore I wont go there, however I do want to take the time to congratulate Carson Huey - You, an 11 year old physics major who is going to be a freshmen in college this year and clearly does not fall into the misguided on sided category of Mr Walsh's "dreams".
All in all I'm not mad but I will call a spade a spade and I believe for a man to label an entire race through the eyes of bigotry and ignorance is a racist, I just think that if Mr Walsh would wake up out of his "dream" he would have the opportunity to be a long lost friend "reality".
