Malign Condescension -- or Benign Neglect?

by Sheepdôg Monday, Jul. 12, 2004 at 4:17 PM

By now you've probably heard about what Bill Cosby's up to. On May 17, at a Washington, D.C. event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education, Cosby delivered a jaw-dropping tirade on the failure of many lower-class blacks to get their acts together.

"I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange [prison] suit," Cosby said. "Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18, and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? . In all of this work, we cannot blame white people." He was particularly tough on poor black youth. Or, as he put it, "people with their hats on backwards, pants down around the crack."

Cosby says he was motivated to speak out after talking to Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey here in Washington. Ramsey had just attended a vigil for a 12-year-old girl who was killed when a stray bullet struck her in the head. "People yell about us enforcing the curfew, but the real issue is, why don't you know where your child is," Ramsey told the Washington Post.

Since then Cosby hasn't backed down. He's been defending his remarks on black radio shows and at conferences, pointing to the horrifying trends in black crime and black education, and saying again and again that the government can't do the job of parents.

Now obviously conservatives, white and black, are eating this stuff up. However, it should be noted that Cosby is no political conservative. He is in fact a very liberal Democrat who just happens to recognize the limits of social policy.

And while it's easy to find comfort in what Cosby is saying, conservatives should find even more solace in what he's doing.

Leftists, both white and black, have always warned that poor blacks would starve if government stopped "helping" them - or they'd turn to crime, riot, spontaneously combust, whatever. Personally, I've always found the notion condescending and racist that blacks would turn animal without the domesticating influence of government spoon-feeding.

Racist or not, the reverse has largely proved true. After Bill Clinton signed welfare reform, for example, poor black women didn't starve, they didn't go wilding - they got jobs. By contrast, government "help" coincided with almost unrelenting growth in family break-up and violence among low-income blacks. We can argue about how much government aid helped the black middle class, but that is irrelevant to Cosby's point. For some irreducible number of blacks, government help simply cannot solve the problem.

And neither can new crusades against racism, real or perceived. As Bill Cosby observed: "People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckle-heads walking around. . The lower-economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids - $ 500 sneakers, for what? And won't spend $ 200 for 'Hooked On Phonics.' "

Conservatives have long argued that the best thing for the black community is, in the late Pat Moynihan's celebrated (though misunderstood) phrase, a policy of "benign neglect." Most people faced with the choice of sinking or swimming will swim. And there's no reason to believe, conservatives argued, that blacks wouldn't swim like anybody else if they had to. Many immigrants come to this country far poorer than the average poor black but still work their way into the middle class, because they bring with them a set of values our society tends to reward. They also usually have an ethnic social network waiting for them, which helps them get on their feet.

Why should blacks be any different? If blacks were cut off without a dime from the federal government, non-racist conservatives argued, blacks would develop, individually and as a community, the habits and institutions necessary for as decent a life as anybody could expect - much as they had, ironically, during segregation. That's not an argument for segregation, of course, but for the sort of self-help blacks relied on before the government started "helping" them. As countless callers to black radio point out, that self-help involved shaming those who were letting the rest of the community down.

Not through lack of trying, we've reached the point of benign neglect. Not because government doesn't want to help but because those most in need of it can't even be bothered to accept that help. The exhaustion of policy options is perhaps best illustrated by the fad for slavery reparations. Tell me: How would that help parents who are willing to spend $500 on sneakers but not $200 on "Hooked on Phonics"? Bill Cosby knows the answer, and he should be congratulated for shaming those who deserve - and need - to be shamed.

Not amused

Without the still prevelant racism the preceding would make some sense.
But in the real world it doesn't. There was a book titled Black Like Me written by someone who actuaally wanted to see how and if racism worked. Read it.

Get off the Plantatrix, victicrats!

by Sheepdôg Tuesday, Jul. 13, 2004 at 3:48 PM

What the left calls "racism" (tm) is a product, a construct used to effect shakedowns and seize power.

In an era when "Diversity"(tm) means "No Whites" they've got a lot of nerve calling anyone else racists.

Post some references or make some sense. So far you haven't.
The pills that made John Howard Griffin who wrote Black Like Me are still available so feel free to experience the malign neglect for yourself. Take a walk in Beverly Hills or apply for a job or a loan.
I'll wait.

American Blacks have more freedom and opportunity than any other Blacks on earth.

And yet:

Blacks "were over 7 times more likely than whites to commit homicide in 2000".

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm

Blacks are four times as likely as Whites to kill their children...

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/kidsrates.txt

18.6% of blacks go to jail, vs. 3.4% of White males

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm

68.7% of blacks are born out of wedlock

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/pdf/nvsr50_05tb19.pdf

56% of female blacks have genital herpes. See page 21 of...

http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/dstd/Stats_Trends/Trends2000.pdf

Though only 12% of the population, more blacks are on welfare than are Whites

Most Blacks vote democrat in lockstep. When are they going to wake up and realize who's keeping them down on the Plantatrix?

Black Man Justice Who Is The Terriost

by Jacqueline Amos Wednesday, Jul. 28, 2004 at 9:02 PM
jackieamos2@yahoo.com 718 4550289 259 eldert street

Blackman justice shall not be
dictated by another man are being.
When a man began to plead
for freedom from another man he emancipate
his self as the yesum sir slave.
The will to be free is a gift from
God. There will be no back
door front door, In the 20th Century
,Are
neither shall it ever happen in
this world order. Crucial moments
awaits, Nationalities need n
o permission from another man. To
classify him as a man.
Loyalty to God is freedom. A slave is a man
who is a better man dead. Than live in clutches of another man.
Knowledge is vain humility shall be sustained.



Supremacy holds hostage
the soul of a man who is submissive to
another's mans demands.
A dead man without a soul.
This game call reverse psychology
is a myth that the devils used, to
formulates a stereo type theme.
Slavery was only for a few who were
in strange place of land.
The critique of society plays its games.
Psychological abuse, that tames
an conquer the self esteem of a man.

Man who walks with pride is
not man who advocate violence, But a man
who defense his self. Power in
defense for spiritual freedom. Power
in defenses for the poor man,
of opposite poswasion is a cowardly
way to prove he has power
, he uses color to build his own self
esteem. Living in the land
of poverty wearing the clothes of hate.

A spineless man without
substance a coward that hides behind the
code of justice. I pledge
allegiance to poverty which he wears the
scars of his own ancestors,
Forming groups of hate, rounding up
cowards to fulfill
thetorching of another man.
The devil that hide behind the cloth,
the coward who is afraid to show its face.


Civil Rights an Human Rights go hand an hand.
Only the weak shall follow the trails
of a coward that hides behind hate an shame.
Racism Institutional structure as law,
social instruments, within the lines
of humanity dictates are determines
what black men
an women should be. An what
they can't do in this
society every man is accountable for there own sins.
Its not what you say but what you do in what I see
in you.


It's a fool who will allow
another man to dictate there fate.
A man of vindictiveness will only,
exploit, ridicule, terrorize an
undermined, to destroy another
man for his own self gratifications.
An rationalizes it being falsely
an viciously, claiming that said
people are culturally, intellectual,
socially , an morally inferior
to them.

Captivity of blackness,
Riches of the family tree,
possessions of
the parishioner who
lives within self.

Upon this Journey I embark
emancipated slavery will never,
influence the mind of a
Blackman within the realms of justice.
Understanding who the black man is,
and detaching one from those
who manipulate and destroy
who is worse than the lynch man
him self, there is no back
door to genocide, there is no hole
to hide behind truth,
when you are scared to walk through your
neighborhood, and being lynch by the same as we call black pride.


Breaking the curse of psychological
lynching, There is no bias's
within the justice of man.
Only if he determines to follow the plan.
Man should not be judge by the color of his skin, t
here are many who
fight for the same battle.
it"s not the ghetto which man live,
its the ghetto of the mind which he
embrace. There will be no more fields to work,
there will be no more vindictive words. I the rod an staff of thy
turf.

The poor man is worse than the rich.
He is the slave within his own
family tree. As the world looks on at
the poverty an abuse that its ancestors produce.
So who is hatred that leach at success,
the poor an unfortunate who
targets the ones of good fortunes
which they refuse to confess.

The black man has no need to move in the communities of someone
else, its economics an education
for his people is his own concern,
he's not interested in moving next door.
Strategy of a theory that
dose not exists.

No the Blackman when you see him.
Don't be fooled by the black face.
Intelligence that breeds strong nations.
There is no contradiction
in his plans. There is ignorance in all
cultures within the
realms of Justice. For those who come through the back door, be
careful a man who don't know his
history will continue to make the
same mistakes.

There are black men who have
mastered the science, there black men
who have master the history of this nation.
Many come with fork tongues who
nothing about the real black man.
know t the history of the Blackman.
Ignorance that launch out
at the Blackman.The ignorance of hatred
has no knowledge of there
own history. You must know history to no
about God religion.


To take a man who refuse to lead.
Planting the seed that he is less
than a man. The toxin that flows
through the blood And the
capitation of leadership within self.
The ideologies of being a
man is hard to over come.
Only by instructions he can view self.
The deactivation comes with the family tree.

The reverse syndromes
becomes the hatred Of his
own seeds. Hating the liberties That he
feels has been generated by
the instructor, Who gives liberties to
the spouse are the lover.
Implanting the hatred within his own
family tree, there would be no sense of identity, repression that
sets the stimulation to incubate
breaded embolisms cloned to another
generation of slaves. Jealousy
and hate the slaughter of Jesus the
breath of horror, the holocaust
of a dead mind. Who has no power
other than his self who cannot
control his own mind. The male
child which is a banded by the father,
The cautious denial of his
own family tree.


The issue is not color for all man
feel the pain. The execution of
family the seminary of the history
Of the child who is rejected by
the image that he represents.
The execution of the mother who
follows in the realms Of the
setting of a dysfunctional anti social
Monetary disk that is planted
within the mind. The curse that's
passed on to another generation .
The walking dead, Nigger syndromes
the words that gives a happy thought,
education that is decline
ignorance embraced without
a thought. A word that has no preference
to man, a word that discribes
the universe, when ignorance is a
part of there every day life. Divide and
conquer lived by the
servants Within its own circle of thought.
Censorship survival has
no response. Implanting death
within the womb the pain Of the
embryo that is kill through the
veins Genocide partaken without
conscious Instant death implanted killer of self. Concentration
camp for the un wanted Children
without futures are families. Death
to the young.


Open lynching the man with t
he mask. Colors that are worn within
territory that one must not cross.
The trail of rebels that drive by
through the night, killing the
colors and the open lynching at any
course. Revolutions sealed in a book.
Children of the dark preach
Beyond the back door.
The deletion of a family culture. Slave blocks
with women naked. Characters
without pride. Honor no longer stands.
Churches of satins tribe. The breeding of a dead slave. The living
dead that breeds on Of the genes.
Within the cloak of a disease
that has no cure. The assumptions of leadership without the wisdom
of humanity to delete the proclamation of a free mind. The darkness
that set forth another generations of destruction. The state of
mind that continues to repeat the same mistakes. Breeding an
cloning poisons of thoughts.


The enforcements of memory that has explored each time, hating
self reverse the light retrieves a thought. The mind goes into
delete the thought of unity. Sets of an explosion the light
continues to go out. I am greater than thee. within the
illuminations of bonding . Man that lives upon the cage, the
destruction of a culture, Who rather live within a 8/11 cell, the
continuation Of legacy that refuse to break the chains of captivity.
The inclination of a man set that refuse to love self. The bomb has
now explored there is no activation are De activations the toxins
that eats at the mind Of a want be slave.

The assumptions of the cage Bird that no longer sings. The
darkness that hide behind walls consignment of death closed in
walls . Harvesting the darkness of self. The windows are foggy
cannot see the light. The sparrows are closing in, hidden in a box,
find thy soul what goes on in space? Justifying the wrongs for the
rights. Toxins that filled blood, sipping on death , oppressor of
self, surrounding hate, pollutions has no fate.




Black Power, its not the power,
but the substance it represent,
Man cry division when one refuse to come together as one.
Slaying there brothers for a moment of fame.
The blood of our brothers who fought the revolution,
When sisters and brothers of the culture, recognized
them once a year,
"If any" a revolution that is sealed in a book.
Close mind to there own self worth.
Huey Newton, Malcolm X, Martin
Luther King, Medgar Evers,
Rap Brown, Angela Davis, a cause that the sleepless
selfishness of a people let dye in vain.


A mind a terrible place to waste,
Many singing we shall over come.
The enemy that lives with self.
Rise as I speak what message do we as a people who are fighting,
the same battle in our streets.
As the soldiers ready for war .
What about the battle?
which we live right here on our streets?
Where are the father's?
to restore the separation of there genes.
The mothers who selfishly think of self,
and the system rule there seeds.


Fatherless, Motherless children,
Living in concentrations camps,
Sold and branded as the un-wanted.
Trade off for crack, the sickness
Of the devil who kills the seeds,
Of the sacred grounds.
our brothers and sisters,
and children who live On the streets.
Closed minds Unity,
Who fights for them.
Viet Nam the men who fought for this country,
homeless, the land of the brave an the free.
In there own country, who gives a dam.
Those who have tip the scales,
Brothers who have turned there head
Rich and famous, who gives a dam
About the streets which they have left.


Shut Up And Listen
What have they contributed to there country?
and the men who fought that we may be free,
soldiers who live on the streets,
out of sight out of mind who really gives a dam.
Sisters of Soldiers turn there head to the soldiers
that wear the same cloth,
Enemy of the propositions which they speak
Black power get up of the script.


Black power is a word, that only a few understand.
Power with dignity, power as a community,
Power as a culture, power the love of God.
Get it right.
Black Power what is your defense,
Who is the power, and what represents black.
I walked through the ghettos
And touched the souls,
Who man thought was not worthy
To tell God is love, get up off your knees
You are the Nubian King.
I was the field minister,
My mission was different,
Than those who stood on the altar,,
And the church doors,
Never feeding are healing the sick.
There is no power within division,
There is no solution that increases the hell of jealousy,
There is no solution when there is no unity,
Words are scripts when there is no love.

The Man Man Bible

by Jacqueline Amos Monday, Aug. 09, 2004 at 5:49 PM

The Man Man Bible
Last Testament

If anyone watches Jerry Springer and say
this is only a black thing, then come from beneath your hole, because the world is watching, truth shall not be hidden in the back closet, this is a worlds problem, only those who hide behind the I am better than you.
This series was taken out of content, the ignorance of a people, who lives in glass houses without windows, I am better than the next,
But this is how the media plays for attention, I am better than you.
Living through a glass house surrounded only by self
Preaching the concepts of social behavior, when the
Scripts are tarnished with ignorance and languages
Of a befoul concept. Man man bible without
A clue what the definition of man and woman
And the role they play.
Division that separate a people, man man dilemma
In who is and what is and I be dam do they
Really have a clue.

My lest testament which probably don’t mean a dam.
To a close mind without air, such a sad situation
When man live through a vacuum,
The tongue the sword,
of an eagle eyes, shall be the
The source of destructions.
Omni presents every place, all the time,
at the same place.
To do are to dye, to dye are to live,
Evaluations of power, Mastery of Self.
Man of integrity the minister of spirit.
Finding of principal, might of power,
meekness, simple laws of loving self.
The hero or the coward saving self.
The soul that dies a thousand time,
when the soul of will would die once.


The man within his own,
abominations of definitions,
Surely he feels his concept ,
is the spoken words of a deliverance,
without the understanding of what a man
Is and should be. Wisdom blacked out within his own definitions.
Nevertheless, he never learned wisdom, are the words holy,
A man who don’t identify with the creator who made him.

The lights remain open, for thee to walk through the door,
The battle with self, oh what a pill of self-destruct.
The hell within inner self, why is it so hard to erase, The laws of cause and effect.












The rights of passage shall find the light.
Within the Universal Light.
One God, One Son, One Man,
The opening of life, oh I have cried the battle,
The son and man. I am one, I must unite,
In the begging there was the word.
In the ending separation of the Son and Man.

Universal conceptions of the alpha,
And the Mega must take its rightful place.
It shall not be easy, and many shall turn there back.

There is no verses that man choose
When the clad brass chains squeeze
The life from the brain, be not
Fool of conning words, be not a follower
Be a leader of self, check out your
Space before you leap, negativity breeds negativity
There shall be no hiding place.
Words of hatred shall continue to separate
Your sacred space, we fight not with
Flesh but principality and morality in
Higher places.


The eyes that are blinded,
the love that has no rising,
the mighty and the power shall be no more,
the light dose not shine upon his head.
Deterring the responsibility of man,
the leader, the nurturers of the land,
the mouth peace of the almighty spoken words.


It’s the power of a man who walks as a man,
Speak as a man, lead as a warrior,
In Gods love, sing not the song of victory,
Sing not the songs honor of honor,
if thy slate is not clean.

Keep your eyes on the sparrow
the beginning of the end has come
and the sparrow has flapped his wings to the sun
don’t look back if you do you will be lost in the wind.

Keep your eyes on the sparrow and the wind shall follow
Don’t look back you will loose your tomorrow
The sounds of the eagle and the roaring of the wind
Grasped to your future, The sun will follow
Hold on there is no light in the dark
What you see before you will be your start
One God, One man, One Son

Beware of the black sparrow who flap
His wings don’t judge it by its image
Check beneath the wings, if you are
Slow he will take your strength, beware
Of the con he will drag you down with
Him he has no conscious are pride
Who is God, the man man bible?
Will send you hell.



Fear not the blindness of man,
Fear not the corporations of faith,
Long distance plantation shall come to an end.

Corrupted and brutal acts of fear.
Shall no longer be the salvation of your tears.
What secrets powers dose fear controls,
Only an illusion, that clings to the mind.
Proud of my submissive tears,
Fear shall no longer live within my space.

Thy mission has now been summoned to end.



Through out this journey I shall move
On accept it declined it, it will be your
Destiny for every man must pay.
There is no hero in the words righteousness
The devil will continue to block and divide
The sanctuary of tomorrow, be not fool
By the devils deception, be a wise man and
Look what’s around you, never accept man
As a friend until he has proven his loyalty
If not your sin will become his.

Never put power in an ignorant mans hands
It will be your future as your pass.
There is no reasoning with the devil
He will continue to destroy, the little
Man without an image of his own.
Divide and conquer the slaves of t he devil.
Freedom shall only be granted from God
When the righteous man stands beside God.
Devils come in all colors and shades
Be ware of the wimpling cries, beware of the helpless
Fool who will sell his soul for the murder of his
Sister or brother for a moment of fame.
The man man bible has just been erased.

Awaken from the Plantatrix

by Sheepdôg Monday, Aug. 09, 2004 at 7:01 PM

Post some references or make some sense. So far you haven't.

To those willing to listen, who don't have an agenda, I've made PERFECT sense, as has the Cos. Hopefully, Black Man and Woman will awaken from their democrat/leftist -injected slumber before it's too late. The liberal is no friend of the Black Man and Woman, nor is the liberal a friend to freedom!

The pills that made John Howard Griffin who wrote Black Like Me (black) are still available so feel free to experience the malign neglect for yourself. Take a walk in Beverly Hills or apply for a job or a loan. I'll wait.

More malign condescension from one who places himself so far above Blacks he deems himself their "caretaker." How touching. "Black Like Me" was written in 1956. Whenever liberals want to exploit the Black Race, they chant, "You are not free" and disgregard all progress that's been made.

AWAKEN FROM THE PLANTATRIX!!
