It's Black and White People

Good morning, to all my readers on this 20^th day of January.  While watching Meet the Press this morning I was inspired to relate a particularly significant point that to some, may seem a bit callus, others may think I am being outright offensive.      Truth be told, it is something that needs not only to be said, but absorbed by everyone in this country.  Today’s topic of discussion is racial sensitivity. 

             During the program, NBC correspondent Chuck Todd produced an NBC poll which showed that 74% of the country liked President Obama personally while only 47% of the liked his policies.  The pundits then began their predictable examination of the polling results, bloviating about Obama’s hyperbolic deeds that have set forth this country into a new age of nirvana.  Indeed if we could all be as grand as Obama, the world would be a veritable Utopia within the course of our lifetime.  Of course that is all bull dropping…

The fact is that Obama’s unexplainable popularity is a result of conditioning not unlike that of the experiment performed by Ivan Pavlov, a Nobel Prize winning Russian physiologist.  Since the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Caucasian people have been conditioned to believe that it is insensitive to speak ill of blacks for any reason, and additionally, that any immoral act committed by a black person was not their fault, but the fault of society as a whole.  The advent of Black Liberation theology is an example of this conditioning, where a black person believes that he is owed something simply because of the color of his or her skin. 

Additionally, Caucasian people have perpetuated this line of thinking by taking responsibility for imaginary slights within society.  Simply mentioning the word Inner city, or urban is supposed to be a slight against black people.  You can’t say that Obama takes too much time off is insinuating that he is lazy and that’s a slur against black people.  I’m sorry but there are lazy black people just as there are lazy white, yellow, brown, and red people.  People, can be and are lazy.  The problem is that we can no longer tell the truth, as it is because we have been conditioned to be politically correct and oversensitive towards racial sensitivity. 

Therefore, here is what I believe about the polling that I observed this morning.  I believe that most of the people contacted did not want to appear racist, so they said that they liked Obama personally, however they disagreed with his policies.  No one wants to be labeled as a racist, even if it is an anonymous polling.  The fact that we have been conditioned to lie to appear one way when we really feel another because of “racial sensitivity” is causing irreparable damage to this country.  Eventually emotions will boil over and people will act upon their growing animosity towards one another.  That is why in an age where we have a black president that has just been reelected to a second term; racial tensions within the country are at level not seen in decades.
