How does one just "Get over being Black"
I found this video and these words to be interesting ( I don't fully agree with them all) but decided to blog it. I don't really care to place blame or shame on anyone, I am just glad America at large is finally forced to come face to face with itself where race is concerned.
And I quote......
Which party has deeper racist roots?
April 4th, 2008 marked the fortieth anniversary of the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have definitely made progress- well, at least some of us have.
On this momentous day Frank looks back at the evolution of the Democratic and Republican parties. Rightists try in desperation to hide their racist roots with fantasies and half-truths about the Democratic party. They paint efforts to compensate for the atrocities of slavery and discrimination that lasted in bold form until just the end of the 1960's as the opposite of what they are- racist.
We can only fantasize about the outrage and demands that a white America would make if the tables were turned. Forty acres and a mule? Ha! Many of todays white power elites cry like babies if they have to pay their taxes to the nation they claim to love so much!
One conservative was brave enough to admit the truth:
"It was the liberal wing of the Democratic Party that ended segregation."
--Newt Gingrich
Also a very powerful blog and full account of message by Rev. J. Wright you must read this blog

And also check out this- Here's a Fox News interview with a (white) Catholic priest who supports Rev. Wright by comparing him to Jesus.
