OK, here's another brilliant copy and paste job for you:
During the month of February, black Americans have much to celebrate and be proud of. The black American historical portrait is a fascinating and rich canvas that contains revered scholars, inventors, civic leaders, athletes, statesmen, entertainers and war heroes.
Rosa Parks has always been my hero. I dedicated one of my platinum albums to her. Her brave, intelligent defiance embodies the American spirit that fuels my life. Her simple act of refusing to sit at the back of a bus blazed a new trail that changed America for the better.
As a musician, all of my musical influences are black. From Chuck Berry and James Brown to numerous Motown legends, my rhythm and blues guitar howls in the night thanks to these musical pioneers who blazed new musical trails for everyone else to follow. Trail blazers rock.
That being said, my pragmatic modus operandi has always been to focus on a flat tire instead of admiring three tires full of air, for the vehicle will not meet its mobile potential with a flat tire. So while February is designated as a month to celebrate all things good with black Americans, we should also identify the bad and the ugly in order to continue to upgrade.
Though institutional racism is largely a dead and rotting carcass, race hucksters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton continue to pour gas on racism’s fading embers. These irresponsible race baiters should be scorned and ignored by all Americans. They serve no good but to themselves.
Statistically, way too many black men are shirking their duty to be fathers, causing their children to be raised by mothers or grandmothers alone. This is a recipe for cultural genocide in the black community. Children of single parents have a much higher likelihood of getting involved in crime, drugs, and dropping out of school than kids from two parent families.
When attending my son’s basketball games I am appalled at the sight of so many teenage black girls toting babies in their arms. These young women are obviously not emotionally or financially equipped to provide for their young children. The problem is so significant that some high schools provide day care at taxpayers expense. When babies are having babies something has gone terribly wrong.
Black on black crime is an epidemic in cities such as my former hometown of Detroit, though the brutal horror stories of black on black crime do not vary much from city to city. Much of the crime is fueled by drugs and gang bangers. Though just twelve percent of the population, roughly half of the cells of our prisons and jails are full of black men.
It did not used to be this way. Though I am not an historian, the statistics regarding the recent black experience are shocking. Just 50 years ago the black family was strong, education was valued, the runaway
crime wave that has swallowed our inner cities was absent, teenage pregnancy was the exception, drug abuse was minimal, etc.
So what happened? What caused a once proud, strong, independent and vibrant people to become disillusioned, broken and defeated? The embarrassing fact is that black America surrendered to the white, liberal, political establishment who implemented grand, wasteful social welfare programs that have not helped black Americans but instead have destroyed them into the curse of dependency. Amazingly, black America has willing gone down this path of destruction.
Instead of continuing to embrace liberal politicians and out of control government programs, black America should wise up and rise up in political revolt and recognize who their real enemies have been. A quick study
of the two political parties will identify which party has worked to destroy their families and communities with covert lies and wasteful government programs that have achieved nothing but despair and destruction. My advice: quit supporting the party that is symbolized by an a$$.
It is often said that those who forget history are bound to repeat it. Black America can and must do better. History will judge accordingly. May God be with us.
