is Jesse Jackson good for
African-Americans or not he's not for
himself
Secretary of Defense General Austin said
I'm going through the rosters of
American enlisted men to make sure we
don't have white supremacy he didn't say
well I'm going through it just make sure
we don't have radical antifa members or
BLM members it was just a focus so what
he is basically saying is that we're
going to look at our military now in
terms of whiteness and we're going to
have re-education programs and we're
going to read Professor ibram kindy's
lectures on racism in which he says to
cure racism you must be racist to cure
discrimination you must practice
discrimination and here's the problem
with that
if you're putting all of your emphases
as ancient tribes the Goths the Huns the
Oscars the vandals on your tribal
identity what are you not doing you're
not building civilization as they did
not do have you ever debated Jesse
Jackson no I haven't is that because
would you like to or would he not want
to do that I have no idea I have no idea
uh I should be willing to I assume oh I
maybe I don't I don't know I think
that's too much Showbiz it is uh you
know there's a there's a there are
people who go out do this and I I'm
doing less and less of it I tell them
the story of an African boxing champion
who fought an Irishman in St Patrick's
Day Day in Dublin and he lost his title
on what the sports right is called a
questionable decision
and so you have to know what Forum
you're talking about I was I was I saw
Shelby still on with him and I said you
know if Jesse Jackson celery steel each
had to present a two-hour lecture to an
audience with an average IQ of 120.
Shelby would wipe him out but if they
had five seconds each on Donahue it
would be Jesse Jackson all right so
everything depends upon the Forum
uh
is Jesse Jackson good for African
Americans or not he's not for himself
good for himself and that's true of most
ethnic leaders in most groups in most
countries and most periods of History
that what will make what will serve his
interest is to keep people paranoid
dependent upon Him dependent upon
government but will serve their interest
is typically just the opposite
that's pretty interesting so you're
saying that the the leaders whatever
group yeah whatever wants the people to
be poor and dependent on them as opposed
to dependent on themselves oh absolutely
and I you see this in the greatest
cynicism in the academic world where in
many places uh the black uh
organizations on campus have a say on
who gets admitted and they have turned
down blacks with excellent credentials
both as students and as faculty members
uh for that very reason
race is more than a biological category
or a social category it has become an
industry with its own infrastructure
branches incentives and agendas
the most obvious examples are the
political representatives of particular
racial or ethnic groups as exemplified
by the Congressional Black Caucus or the
Hispanic caucus or such non-governmental
organizations as La Raza or the NAACP
many academic institutions have various
ethnic studies departments or programs
and their thrust is by no means confined
to academic scholarships seeking
objective facts about those groups
the legal profession is also well
represented among those specializing in
racial issues and here too the
disinterested search for truth is seldom
the overriding consideration
diversity consultants in Private
Industry and Community organizers in
racial or ethnic neighborhoods are among
the many other occupations that are a
part of the race industry
despite the wide variety of occupations
in the race industry there are
commonalities in their underlying
visions and agendas
Central to their mission is the
presumption that economic lags
educational deficiencies or even high
crime rates among the respective groups
they represent are due to the failings
or malice of others
views or facts to the contrary are to be
discontinenced or if possible banned or
punished rather than engaged
in addition to the particular portrayal
of racial or ethnic issues promoted by
the race industry there is a highly
selective view of what sorts of
solutions are needed almost invariably
these are policies or actions that
enhance the role power Prestige and
economic flourishing of the race
industry itself even if these policies
or actions are demonstrably
counterproductive in their effects on
the people in whose name the race
industry speaks
a classic example is the policy of
preferentially admitting members of
specifically selected minorities which
do not include Asian Americans or Jewish
Americans for example to colleges and
universities under the rubric of
affirmative action or diversity
