subject: Civil Rights Or Human Rights? [print this page] It's the preface to a simple questionIt's the preface to a simple question. Which is more efficient for the future of humanity?
When you watch, listen, or read the news and the issues concerning freedom and equal opportunities for advancement for all, what do you hear oppressed people of every race, gender, nationality, religion, complexion demand from their government?
Are they in the streets being humiliated, beaten and imprisoned by their own protectors and sometimes elected officials for demanding their "Civil Rights" or are they sacrificing their lives and families futures for their "Human Rights? In the situations that I just mentioned, what I always hear and see being reported are people demanding their "Human Rights.
I agree with a statement that N.B.A. hall of fame "baller" Charles Barkley made once. Charlie B. said that. "You don't have to love me, like me, or respect me. But you cannot disrespect me. I respect that mentality.
The Civil Rights movement was a modest start. In fact it was a lot better than slavery. But far from what our Caucasian neighbors would ever refer to as being equal and fair representation by any laws, financial standards, health criteria, or opportunities for advancement in the career of your choosing. And yeah, I know you're gonna' give me your very best President Obama success story. I'll pause here and listen "............................, ................................. .........................., ..... ..... ...... ..............!!!!!! You ******!!"
O'kay I feel ya'. I'll tuck that away for a rainy day.
But if Rev's. Al Sharpton or Jesse "cut your Almond Joy's off" Jackson could have campaigned on the caucasianism of their immediate DNA chain, and also maybe "prop up" an ancient but still breathing "honored" Caucasian family patriarch (uncle) at the Democratic National Convention, and showed a few pictures of said patriarch serving in one of the world wars they too may have become the nation's first "Black" President.
When you think about it between the three candidates, their political campaigns as concerning ideologies and principles were basically all the democratic normals that began the in the mid to late 60's.
Of course these talented men gave all Americans an extra portion of humanity and fleeting hope of change in Washington. And as far as the current wars and financial crisis, well the wars would have been inherited by any elected chief operating officer of this country.
The financial crisis is being "fixed" by the culprits that started the crisis. I if faced with no better choices could have handled that decision. And I am not criticizing the President for attempting to resolve a crime scene that he so bravely campaigned to assume "ownership" of.
Right now President Obama is the bravest, most selfless and courageous man on the planet to put himself in this position. With help of course. I voted for the president!
But my vision is not clouded by one man's success story. "The way you treat the least of my people is the way you would treat me if you could." That's my motto.
I am the least of the President's people. I have never experienced sustained "Human Rights" in my entire life. And I am reasonably educated, trained at my craft, ambitious and motivated to out perform myself at all times.
My question to you is when you consider the rights and privileges that all Caucasians, and most other non African Americans enjoy everyday in this country, "What is it that makes Civil Rights preferable to the Human Rights that your Caucasian counterparts take for granted until they see African Americans paraded across the evening local news broadcast?"
One more question for you while you're cursing me out. Why are our "Civil Rights" leaders NOT organizing and marching in front of the United Nations building in New, York and at least talking about our Human Rights? I toured inside of the U.N building when I was a kid. It wasn't a "scary" place at all! They could go if they wanted too. Why not?
The entire world knows about America's mistreatment of African Americans. It is historic. They marvel at why we have accepted "Civil Rights" for so long.
You understand that if other nations were to speak out on behalf of African American's "Civil Rights violations, their "A's" may be the next in line for what we have allowed ourselves to be served since the mid 60's. Can someone say 21st century?
Thew world cannot demand for us what we won't demand for ourselves. I was once rushed off the Tom Joyner Morning Show (Which I enjoy daily) for even beginning to make these statements.
