When Will It Change ?

The question often comes up among Blacks. "When will things change"? I have somewhat of a generic answer, as a solution. When we wake up and smell the coffee, and stop blaming others for our problems. Listening to some of the peoples complaints, it sounds like nothing has changed in the past 50 years. We don't have the same problems in 2005, that we had in 1955. Until we become realistic in our expectations. We're just spinning our wheels.

Look at the Jewish people. While Blacks were jockeying for there seat on the bus. The Jews were being lined up, stripped and shot in the head. Pushed into mass graves, something we now call the "Holocaust". Only to come to America, and all pull together. Within the last 50 yrs., look where they are now. When was the last time you saw the Jews marching for civil rights? Not that theirs haven't been violated. You move into their communities, and offend them. They stop spending their money, and boycott you. They don't talk about it, they are about it.

When certain people stop using the arguments they used in yesteryear. To gain access to the lunch counters, and get front seats on the buses. Blacks will not be considered a force, to be reckoned with. The lack of jobs, has more to do with a lack of education. Than a lack of opportunity. We live in an ever changing economy. These days it's unlikely, that a worker will spend their entire career in one place. It's not the administrations fault, jobs won't locate here. You can't attract major industry, when a large part of the workforce is illiterate. The day of people having huge payroll checks that they are unable to sign is over. The letter X is no longer acceptable as a signature. Those were the good old days. They are over now. We here in the city of Memphis, must get over Firestone and International Harvester plants. We should be focused on the new jobs being provided. In the new $4 billion bio-medical complex, being built in the former Baptist Hospital site. Instead of being down the street staging protest rallies, in Nathan Bedford Forest park.

Any crime situation we have in Memphis is largely a result, of black on black crime. All the white collar crimes, we go along with them willingly. Usually in our pursuit of equality, or what we consider fair. Using shortsighted form of book-keeping, robbing Peter to pay Paul. Like when we pay too much for houses and cars, we can't really afford. We pay ridiculous interest rates, to make up for bad credit. That or filing bankruptcy, to avoid paying your bills. Without thinking, in the process making the attorneys rich. Until we stop trying to make excuses, to overlook wrongdoing. Stop trying to articulate immorality, and make it a racial thing. It will never change. Just because someone lets you have it, doesn't mean it's something you can afford. We want everything right now. We want to come on the job the first day, being the boss. Instead of working your way up the ladder, putting in your time. Once getting up, you have your people trying to pull you down. From a level not easily attained, without a doubt. Instead of letting your blessing, open the door for someone else like yourself. Once we get there, we try to close the door to everyone else. We haven't realized yet, there's plenty of room at the top.I don't know the makeup of the readers of this post. I presume they are mostly Christian, with that being the dominant religion. What I suggest will work for anyone, that wants what's best for all. My answer is mainly to them, that claim to be Christian though. If they truly believe, they should understand. If they understand they will see the truth. If we don't come into the knowledge of Jesus Christ our lord and saviour. Just like the Israelites were, we will be lost a very long time.
