Negative Impact of the Civil Rights Movement: Part 2

http://www.unityofamerica.com

Blacks have and continue to use old methods in a new world.  The most often used method being marches to appeal to the inner consciousness of Whites.  This does not work because most Whites under the age of 50 (most White Americans) were not active participants in racial discrimination.  What this means is that all of the Whites still alive and were active participants in promoting policies of racial segregation and discrimination at the time of King's death will be dead in about twenty years.  So Whites under the age of 50 don't feel guilty about what has happened to Blacks because they did not cause it directly.  Instead, they feel disgusted for being blamed for something that they did not do.

Blacks have spent and continue to spend too much time trying to change the way Whites feel and respond to Blacks.

Worse yet, Blacks have confused Civil Rights with economic rights.  There is no such thing as economic rights.  We live in a capitalistic society.  The American way is Darwinism.  He who is the most economically fit wins.  There is no constitutional right to jobs and promotions.  Yet, Civil Rights leaders and proponents of the Civil Rights movement continue to teach weak minded Blacks that they have some God given right to  the same percentage of jobs on all levels of management in direct proportion to the percentage of Blacks that make up the community where a company or factory is located.  The recent perceived success in the Texaco Case and boycott perpituates this erroneous thinking and strategy.

Blacks have to get rid of anyone who calls himself a Civil Rights leader.  The reason is because these leaders are not representative of Black people in the 21th century.  Although they like the limelight of television, they are adding to the destruction of Blacks.  These Civil Rights leaders and the Civil Rights movement continues to brainwash generation after generation of Blacks that they are the victims of the evil White man.  So what you have now in America are generations of lazy, weak, pathetic, poor, crabs in a crab bucket, dumb, uneducated, crime and violence perpetrating, dope smoking, single, renting instead of owning, non-product producing, ashamed of being Black, non-business owning, non-competitive Black people.

Now lets put this movement into a 21st century perspective.  When Martin Luther King, Jr. was alive, he wrote one of the best inspirational speeches in modern times called, "I have a Dream."  Before he died he adopted a song entitled, "We Shall Overcome."  After King's death, Ralph Abernathy said, "We shall Overcome."  Joseph Lowery said, "We Shall Overcome."  Jesse Jackson said, "We Shall Overcome." (Okay he also said, "Keep Hope Alive").  Hosea Williams said, "We Shall Overcome".  Dick Gregory said, "We Shall Overcome."  Even today, after every King celebration, you see Blacks across this nation linking hands and singing that same old, tired song.

Again, why do Blacks do this?  The reason is because Blacks haven't had anyone tell them the whole formula for achieving their destiny in America.

The formula is: "We have a dream, that we shall overcome, by working together lovingly as one, to accomplish all the things in the Black race that need to be done, so that we can achieve the highest level of technology and spirituality possible, until Jesus returns."

Negative Impact of the Civil Rights Movement: Part 1

The Civil Rights movement was the greatest and the worse thing that happened to Blacks in America.  It was the greatest thing for Blacks because it resulted in Blacks being granted human rights.  Blacks got the right to vote, attend taxpayer supported educational institutions, eat at restaurants, work in major industry jobs at the management level, and just basically enter through the front door.

The Civil Rights movement also had residual positive effects.  It raised the conscious level of a nation, sensitizing its people to the wrongs that had been done to Black people.  Because of this movement, people of all colors were able to interact for the first time in ways they never had before.  Blacks had hope and dignity and Whites had friends and neighbors.  Other races enjoyed rights in this country that they would not have gotten had it not been for the struggle of Blacks.

No other movement could have liberated Blacks from the discrimination that they experienced in America prior to the 1970's.

Unfortunately, the movement lasted too long.  It lasted so long that Black people became fixated with it.  Blacks failed to take the next step.  That step is two fold.  Part one is working to improve the individual.  As individuals, Blacks need to become more educated both philosophically and practically.  They need to work on their individual morality and spirituality.  They need to raise their individual standards and work ethics.  Part two is working together as Blacks for the betterment of Blacks.  Once Blacks got their basic freedoms, it was time to stop concentrating on Whites and concentrate on themselves.

For whatever reason (ignorance, glory, greed), Black leaders (so called anyway) have continued to perpetuate not only a dead movement, but a movement whose basic premise is now wrong.

The premise of the movement now is one of integration.  Actually it is not even integration, but assimilation.  A large number of Blacks still want to be assimilated, i.e. give up everything that is associated with being Black, and be absorbed by Whites.  They would rather do this than become independent and self-determinative.

The results of promoting this dead and erroneous movement have been absolutely catastrophic to Blacks.  For one thing, Blacks have not built anything of substance since before King died.  They have not built any more colleges and universities.  Take a look at Auburn Avenue in Atlanta, Watts in Los Angeles and Harlem in New York.  Those areas had doctors, lawyers, shop owners and other thriving businesses prior to the Civil Rights movement.  Once the movement and the misguided premise of assimilation took hold, Blacks turned their backs on their own businesses and institutions and tried to fit in with Whites.  As a result, they lost or gave up the legacy that their grandfathers and grandmothers built for them.  Most of the best Black areas of the 60's are now slums in the 2000's and filled with poverty and violence.  Continue to Part 2.
