Tough But Fair

I want to address those who are unhappy with the plight of blacks in this ccountry. None of which BTW aw trying to leave. There are planes, trains and boats leaving daily. These Kanye West type soldiers who want to keep fighting these imaginary wars. Are stalwarts to the black race. That's my main turn-off to the NOI. If they planned a mass meeting. They couldn't do it without renting a building. They don't own as much as a large gym.

A lot of them are prime examples that even a fool can do well in this country. I've known police and firemen to lose their jobs for the cause. Now they driving cabs and selling fruit and "Final Calls." And nothing is worse than the five-per center. They only eat pork if it's smoked. What do you want America to do for you? How could a honest, hardworking, free black man say he isn't living the American dream? If you're not incarcerated or on paper and have your health. You have the same rights and privileges as anybody else. A lot of these people complaining have Good government jobs. I hate to hear a mailman talking smack.

You have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That's all anybody gets.

Thank God I have life, being in America doesn't guarantee that. It might help since we have access to modern medicine and now we have universal health care. I could be in a third world country like Somalia. You can die from an ingrown toenail over there. Since man doesn't control that. There aren't many better, but there are a lot worse. I could be dead or alive anywhere.

Your character is up to you. As long as you don't break the law or hurt anybody, nobody is telling you what to do.. That wasn't the case just fifty years ago.  Ten years earlier Emmett Till was tortured and killed. Some blacks couldn't even vote. Let alone run for office. But it's a new day now. So all these people claiming to do so much to help others is just hot air. The best thing you can do for the poor and down trodden is not be one yourself. Lead by example. I'm not living the lifestyles of the rich and famous, but I'm far from destitute. Anything more than I have is not promised. The worse you can say is " it's rough but it's fair."
