OPEN LETTER TO OBAMA

By Unknown Author 




Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair 
enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America 

needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority 

needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among 
them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here 
that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a 

community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached 
the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. 

Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an 
American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white 
Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food 

stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal 

services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, 

businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black 

applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to 

support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how 

many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that 

the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the 

African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially 
interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white 

criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the 

epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 

trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!

I'm for a better America…

I am
Not racist,

Not violent,

Just not silent anymore.
