Point of View

Article Title : Black Americans Deceived

By Your Name, Robert Lee Fennell 2009-08-01

     I know that many Black Americans voted for President Obama because of his so called race, some view him as African American. That is true. He is  an African American, a white mother and a African Father( Kenyan). But he is not a Black American. Black Americans are products of African Slaves that were brought to this country now know as the United States that they labored on plantations planting and harvesting crops. Those African Slaves arrived here over 600 years and Black Americans are products of slaves union. Those slaves became free men and became inventors, Senators, Doctors, Attorneys and Business people.

     Today, Black Americans can look and marvel at the many inventions and contributions Black Americans made to this Great Country that we call home. Black Americans fought in all the Wars, the Civil War, World War 1, World War 11, Vietnam war and many not recognized as wars. To that extent this is more our country than any other ethnic races except the Indians and as it is known some of us are mixed with the American Indians. This country belongs to us, the White Race (Not those recent arrivals from Russia)  and the American Indians. I shiver when I hear words like this country is comprised of immigrants that statement is not true. Immigrants refer to people that migrate to this country of their own free will. African Slaves were brought here against their will therefore we are their decedents not immigrants 

     Therefore, when President Obama and others say this is a Country of immigrants they are trying to justy allowing the illegal immigrans already here to become citizens, vis Amnesty. The President is right because his father was an immigrant from Kenya that married a white woman citizen. 

    The way this President is giving Borrowed taxpayers money away is tantamount to welfare.  Today we learned that Chrysler will not have to pay back the 7 Billion Dollars loande to it to stop it from failing and filing for Bankrupty protection. But in December the Citizens of this country informed their Senator and Congress person that opposed any bail out for the Auto Industry to let them fail and file for Bankruptcy. But the President did not adhere to that advice stating that he would not allow the Auto industry to fail therefore, the Bailout of 7 Billion dollars was given. The President that has no management experience, auto experience or budgetary experience was wrong to bail out Chrysler because it filed for Bankruptcy in April 2009.  This President is making people dependent on the Government by providing those that does not pay any taxes a stimulus check. With his plan to bail out homeowners in foreclosure and those that took out second mortgages on their home si tantamount to Welfare. Is he trying to have all citizens dependent on the Government? or are he giving this money away to secure votes for his second term? I believe the answer to both is Yes.

     Black Americans should be skeptical about Welfare because of what history have taught us. It makes people lazy, lose motivation, sit and wait for the post office person to deliver the check instead of job hunting. Black Americans should also be apprehensive about the President agenda to grant Amnesty to the 20 million or more illegal immigrants already here. Those illegal immigrants do not pay taxes, contribute to the economy, cause overcrowding at schools, burden our fragile Health Care system by receiving free medical care at taxpayers,  expense, and receive welfare checks that should be reserved for American Citizens that are laidoff and require short term assistance.     

Focus on the Future

We must focus on the future by staying active in political process to include City, State and Federal. Americans are facing economic survial unseen by some in their life time. Young Americans were not born yet to experience the devasation created by the Great Depression.  The great depression caused similar reactions by many very successfurl business mens;comitted sucide by jumping out of buildings, stepping in front of coming trains and stabing and kill family members prior to cominting sucide. We must not become so intrench by supporting President Obama because he is an African American. We must hold him to the same scrutiney of previous Presidents. President Obama economic policies have failed. His too big to fail remarks has resulted in bankruptcy of Chrysler and General Motors Corporations with closure of plants, wage concessions and layoff of 50, 000 auto workers. If those companies were too big to fail, why did they file for Chapter 11 bankrupty protection after receiving billions dollars of taxpayers money-TARP? 

Analyze what the politican offers is it in your best interest

• Is the candidate pandering to specific Special Interest Groups, Teacher Association, Police Association, Firefighters Association, Pro-immigration groups. to get elected via their votes.
• Is the candidate platform resenate with you and how that platfrom will benefit you and your childrens and does it benefit all American Citizens.
• Will the candidate do what Americans believe is best for the country or will the believes he and only him/she has the solutions.
• Whether the candidate will enforce all laws or not enforce laws elected to enforce 

2009-09-20 President Obama Speech to the House and Senate

I want to respond to some misconceptions and misinformation prespresented by the media. Liberals Democrats, Black Americans, NAACP and Bill Cosby. The misconceptions are that those critiznt President Obama's policies are racist. I contend that Race is always a factor when discussing important issues. The issue at the center of the Health Care debate is whether the bills being discussed allow illegal immigrants to have access to health care. President Obama stated that illegal immigrants will not be covered (have access to health care) but the bill being discussed does not require proof of citizenship to receive access to health care. When Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "you lie" he was partially correct. However, after that shout by Rep Wilson (R) the Democrats introduced bills similar to those introduced by the Republicans but voted down by the Democrats. Therefore, the President was not truthful. Moreover, the President plan to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform code for Amnesty will automically allow access to those 12 to 20 millions illegals and family to Healtlh Care.

Consequently, the outrage by some might appear to be racist but that represent a small minority of American that oppose President Obama agenda. I do not support President Obama nor do I support his agenda. Infact I oppose this agend of Amnesty for the illegal immigrants and family already here, the bail outs, the welfare for all and the direction the country is head under his administration. President Obama is a super Liberal that believe that Government should provide for its citizens by providing welfare and creating etitlement programs for all. That makes all Americans dependent on the Government and alleviate their responsibility to provide for them selves. 

It has been stated that no other President received as much angry as received by this President. But they are wrong Ex-President Bush was critized for the Iraq war and the cost of the war. But the media did not report about the demonstrations in Crawford, Texas in front of President Bush's home nor do they mention the Petition to Impeach the President. Nor do they mention that the Democrats continued to fun the Iraq war. But most importantly the lack of fairness demonstrated by the media and the issue of race dominates the talk shows instead of the economy, and jobs.

We must be cognizance of the Media bias and misinformation. The Liberal media want to frame the issues with the Race card. Wherein, their are millions of Black Americans that oppose President obama's agend and vocierously stated our opposition to his agenda.  I have no respect for the NAACP and reject their opinion but I have respect for Mr. Bill Cosby but disagree that only racist object to President Obama agenda and race is the main factor for not supporting and critizing this African President. This President has not listened to the "We the People". We opposed the excesses, bail outs, the excessive spending, the lack of concentration on correcting the economy and not taking responsibility for his contribution to the defict. Therefore, this is more that race and Racists. Although, Racist /Racism does exist.
