The American people have allowed our politicians to hijack our political system, and the most recent bunch, including President Trump, act like a bunch of spoiled kindergartners.
Author Shelby Steele in his book, White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era, believes that whites after the civil rights movement began helping African Americans too much and created a situation where blacks are now dependent on whites for their way of life.
Whites created affirmative action to help them out, but it has not worked out the way they thought.
I remembered my first job at Montgomery Ward in 1984, our store had hired an African American woman as part of this affirmative action program, to be the supervisor over myself and several other white people and we had to train her to do her job.
I thought this was ludicrous, even funny at the time. I am paid $3.35 an hour, and I am going to teach my supervisor how to do her job?
What I remember was I had no respect for her!
Looking back, it still amazes me.
So white people are part of the problem instead of helping we’ve hurt them.
Mr. Steele has another book called Shame: How America’s Past Sins Have Polarized Our Country, and was recently interviewed by Mark Levin on his Fox show called Life, Liberty, and Levin.
Mr. Steel is also African America.
I will have more to say about the book at a later time but believed it was essential to making people aware of the book now given all the different racial issues America is dealing with right now.
Until next time
