A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they join together and wish themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people.

At first these white people breathe a sigh of relief. At last, they say, no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare. All of the blacks have gone!!

Then suddenly, reality sets in. The "NEW AMERICA" is not America at all-only a barren land.

1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system.

2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it one finds great difficulty reaching high floors.

3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gear shift, Joseph Gammell, also black, invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines, and Garrett A. Morgan invented the traffic signals.

4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because its precursor was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Elbert R. Robinson.

5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper.

6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because John Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purvis invented the fountain pen, Lee Burridge invented the Type Writing Machine and W. A. Lovette  invented the Advanced Printing Press. They were all, you guessed it, black.

7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books, they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine, William Purvis invented the Hand Stamp and Phillip Downing invented the Letter Drop.

8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower.

9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly ventilated and poorly heated. You see, Frederick Jones invented the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace. Their homes were also dim. But of course, stupid, Lewis Latimer invented the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the Lantern and Granville T. Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch.   Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Steward invented the Mop andLloyd P. Ray, the Dust Pan.

10. Their children met them at the door-barefooted, shabby, motley and unkempt. But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine, Walter Sammons invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board and George T. Samon invented the  Clothes Dryer.

11. Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of this turmoil. But here again, the food had spoiled because another black man, John Standard invented the refrigerator.

Now, isn't that something?  What would this world be like without the contributions of Black folks? Martin  Luther King, Jr. said, "that by the time we leave for work we have been  dependent on half the world-modern America is created by dependencies on  the inventions from the minds of Black folks".

Black history includes more than just slavery, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey and Dubois.

 Before we start the ball rolling, I want to make it abundantly clear that there are many good, educated, honest, hard working black
 people in America. The sad truth is, that percentage wise, with respect to their population, the news is NOT good at all.

 For the socialist / politically-correct, anal orifices who catch this rant, I’m saving you the trouble of reaching into your Communist
 Party USA / NAACP / ACLU / JDL bag of slogans and other mud slinging commycrap. Here are a few of the ultra-left-wing catch
 phrases and otherwise liberal, bullshit terms you might want to use, individually, or in association, to display your total ignorance of
 or disdain for the truth.

 Racist - Pig - Hate Monger - honkey - white bastard - extremist, right wing extremist, white activist, white separatist,......

 There! That’s a start. At least, you can drag the knuckles on both hands so as to not loose your balance while you move your lips
 to work out the usage of the above to suit your own particular case of cranial rectitus.

 Oh.....hell....I forgot. I’m also a staunch supporter of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and, especially, the Second Amendment.
 Better toss in "gun nut", "dangerous whacko" and, maybe, "serious threat to the people" while your at it.

 I grew up listening to and loving the music of some of Black America’s finest; The Mills Brothers, Nat Cole, Sassy, Ella, Duke
 Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie. It always saddened me that Billy Eckstine, one of the finest black singers to come
 along, was stupid enough or ignorant enough to become an outspoken Communist. Be that as it may, I still love his voice. Black
 Americans have contributed, heavily, to good music both in jazz and what used to be called "popular" music, BRRC (before rock,
 rap and crap).

 For the most part, all of these performers had one thing in common. They were mostly educated, they knew how to speak, read
 and write English, they were neat and clean, and they were working hard to be accepted as Americans, period.

 Granted, those folks were all door openers for the rest of black Americans; working hard to overcome the prejudices; many justified,
 that stigmatized the black man in this country.

 All too often, the average black man on the street was a bum, a thug or worse. The blacks seem to have a terrible time learning
 what any self-respecting pig knows, as a matter of instinct. YOU DON’T CRAP WHERE YOU LIVE!

 Far too many blacks in this country were (and are) junkies, alcoholics or a combination of both. No decent person wanted to sit
 next to or near them. Hell, most decent folk didn’t want them on the same bus, train, plane or streetcar anymore than they would
 want a stinking, white bum riding with them.

 In spite of several generations of blacks mostly being exposed to the availability of schools and a good education, a shocking
 percentage seem to have chosen to remain ignorant, speak mush-mouth and work hard at distancing themselves from the white
 man, his education, his technology, and his civilization. They have succeeded in spades (no pun intended)!

 I don’t know how many times I’ve seen an ignorant black on one of the TV shows, whining about his lot in life while telling the
 viewers that he didn’t want to be a part of the "white man’s world."

 Some years back, a group of mush-mouth, jive-turkey, street-speak blacks were on the Oprah show, whining that they were
 discriminated against because of their language; arguing that speaking idiot speak was part of their "heritage".

 I always felt it a tragedy that no one had the guts to stand up and tell these turkeys that Somalia is the black man’s world. Rwanda
 is the black man’s world. Haiti is the black man’s world. In short, the very lowest of the low on the face of the planet are the black
 people, who have never seemed to want to learn; to search over the next hill, to ask "why", and to gain knowledge.

 And, for this, these same people want to celebrate "black history month" in America. Exactly what, one might ask, does "Black
 History" include?

 BLACK HISTORY IS THAT PORTION OF SUB-SAHARAN, BLACK AFRICAN HISTORY PRIOR TO THE COMING OF THE WHITE
 EUROPEANS, TO AFRICA.

 Naturally, this definition is NOT politically correct. It is not designed to make certain folks "feel good" by telling them a lie. It is not a
 part of the overwhelming stack of revisionist, elephant shit history that has been and continues to be foisted, on a daily basis, on
 our kids and our population from preschool through university and beyond.

 The so-called "Buffalo Soldiers" were not Black History. They were Black Americans who helped to make history as members of
 the United States Cavalry, riding horses brought to this continent by the evil, white, Europeans; most notably, the early Spaniards.

 George Washington Carver’s life is NOT black history. He is American History. He was a black American who got himself an
 education, took a bath (hopefully) more than just when it rained, learned to apply his (white / European / American) educational
 skills with the technology of the nasty, white European / Americans and came up with some historic uses for the lowly peanut.

 The Tuskeegee Airmen were NOT black history. They were American History. They were black Americans, flying evil, nasty, high
 technology inventions of the white Americans of European ancestry during wartime.

 Get the picture?

 Let’s talk more about real, black history. Name me ONE, SINGLE, IMPORTANT, CONTRIBUTION, made by the Black Africans, to
 medical or other science, to literature, to the arts, architecture, technology, or industry. Just one!

 In other words, what has the Black African contributed to the world, minus the education, technology and help of the nasty white
 Europeans?

 NO! Serving up "Long Pig" is not exactly viewed as a contribution to the culinary art! Besides, eating your friends and neighbors is
 not considered to be "good form" and wasn’t considered to be so, five hundred years ago.

 NO! Banging on a bongo doesn’t count. Every backwards society in history has managed to figure out how to bang their hands or a
 stick on something to make rhythm.

 NO! Making childlike drawings in the sand doesn’t count.

 NO! Bones or sticks through the nose or lips; mutilated body parts, etc. are NOT contributions to human beauty.

 YES! You did help build the great pyramids....as slaves!

 No! Jesus, Mary and Joseph were not black.

 YES! As a small percentage of the slaves in the world at the time, you did contribute uneducated, unsophisticated labor (strong
 backs and weak minds) during the industrial revolution and beyond, but then again, so did a thousand times as many whites. Ever
 heard of "indentured servitude"?

 Let’s take a different tack. What were the Black Africans doing, say, around 200 BC when Hero was experimenting with the first
 known usage of steam power?

 The Chinese were the first people known to work with what eventually became the navigational compass. This started around 100
 AD and, eventually, about 800 or so AD, the Chinese were using the crude compass for navigation purposes. How were the Black
 Africans "navigating" in those days, and where.

 About 1000 or so, AD, the Chinese invented gun powder. What did the Black Africans "invent" during this time?

 About this same time (1000 - 1004), Lief Erikson and Thorvald Ericsson journeyed to Labrador and Newfoundland. Lief Erikson was
 the first known European (that nasty lot) to land in this, the American Hemisphere. What were the Black Africans "discovering" at
 this time?

 Gutenberg (1397-1468) invented the first printing press. What were the Black Africans doing at that time?

 In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. What "ocean or sea" were Black Africans sailing at that time? (And no, hovering off the
 Barbary Coast as pirates doesn’t count.)

 Lionardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452. During the early 1460’s, he was studying math, calculations, Latin and Geometry.
 What were the Black African children studying at that time?

 Later on, da Vinci drew incredible plans for a helicopter, a submarine and other marvels of which he was centuries ahead of his
 time. By the time of his death on May 2nd, 1519, he had left a legacy as the finest painter and sculptor in the history of the world.
 What "legacy" did the Black African’s of that period leave?

 Galileo (1564-1642) invented the first telescope and was plotting the stars. What were the Black Africans doing?

 John Hadley Sextant (1682 - 1744) invented the navigation tool that bears his name. What were the Black Africans doing?

 James Watt (1736 - 1800) invented the first known, practical steam engine. What were the Black Africans doing?

 Methinks the point has been made. Sadly, right up to today, the only things that Black Africa, once described by early explorers as
 the rectum of creation (nice term used here), has contributed to the world is misery, disease (AIDS among them), rampant incest, a
 total lack of any kind of morality or self control, and a basic stupidity and lack of desire to learn or change that stifles the
 imagination.

 One of the biggest no-no’s in the world of political correctness is to even dare to whisper the word, "incest" related to Black Africa
 and, God forbid, even to think about the problems it causes in America’s black communities. The simple fact is that any culture
 that is so lacking in moral values such as honesty, integrity, respect for the lives and property of others, respect for a woman,
 respect for and support of the sanctity of marriage and the family, is bound to become incestuous, procreate without any
 guidelines, fail to teach and control their children and thus, assure their own backwardness, their own brutal, tribal-like existence
 with disease, war and murder as constant companions.

 You could "celebrate" the fact that over 90% of blacks in America haven’t the moral fiber to denounce and shun a known rapist,
 terrorist, coward, liar, mass murderer, and treasonous bastard like Bill Clinton or his equally infamous, cowardly, treasonous, lying,
 felonious, asshole buddy, Algore.

 You could "celebrate" the rampant stupidity and lack of moral courage and understanding your people proudly flaunt to the world
 when they elect a convicted junky, a former mayor of Washington DC, right back to the same office after he has served time in the
 federal joint for his crimes.

 You can "celebrate" the stupidity and ignorance of your people; who constantly whine about their having "rights" as a minority
 people, while, at the same time, they vote into office and support every Socialist / Communist bastard that crawls out of a hole and
 wants to change this Constitutional Republic, where minorities do, indeed, have rights, to a "democracy" where the majority is
 always right and minorities have no rights.

 You can "celebrate" Maxine-the-mouth Waters, who believes that jails and prisons should be filled according to the percentage of
 race makeup of the country, rather than with the murderers, rapist, car jackers and other assorted scum of the earth who commit
 crimes. The brain-dead voting for the brain-dead, it would seem.

 You can "celebrate" the overwhelming majority of blacks in this Republic who, through their elected black representatives at all
 levels of government, are constantly working to disarm their own people and deny them the most basic of natural rights; that to
 keep and bear arms to defend themselves, their family and their property.

 You can even "celebrate" the most blatantly racist society on the face of the earth, who, while whining about equality and color
 blindness and all the rest of the politically-correct crapola, work overtime to segregate yourselves in every way possible and drive
 the wedge deeper and deeper to split America apart and keep it that way.

 Truth be told, in spite of one of the best educational systems on earth, Black Americans lag behind every other race when it comes
 to staying in school, graduating from high school, etc. One way or another, they manage to maintain the status-quo among
 themselves as the most ignorant and backwards race, no matter where they live.

 Here’s what Black African’s in America have contributed to date:

 - A lowering of moral and social standards of other races in America, plunging much of our society into the mire of ignorance-speak
 / ignorance think bullshit while your constant whining continues to brainwash whites into feeling guilty if they haven’t hugged a
 black, to supposedly "atone" for the sins of the evil white man who purchased slaves from the mostly Sudanese Black Africans and
 the Spanish; slaves who otherwise would have been at the least, killed, and more often than not, the subject of dinner for a rival
 tribe.

 Here are some things you can celebrate........

 - The highest crime rate, per-capita, in the nation.

 - The highest drug usage, per-capita, in the nation.

 - The highest drop out rate from school, per capita, in the nation (and thus, the lowest graduation rate).

 - The lowest test scores in school, per capita, in the nation.

 - The highest, per capita rate of bastard babies, by far, in the Republic. The birth rate of illegitimate children in the inner cities is at
 least 80% or higher.

 - Dragging down the American economy and living standard, due to the liberal-Socialist view that every dumb, morally challenged,
 and totally ignorant person deserves to be fed and provided the comforts of life by those who work hard to get an education and then
 work hard to pay taxes to support those who do not.

 - Bastardization of every thing the Blacks get in contact with; from Christianity to music, to English, literature and the arts. If "White
 Men Can’t Jump", someone should make a picture titled "Black Men Can’t Speak English".

 - Other than their African counterparts, the most ignorant race in history when it comes to even a smidgen of knowledge of their
 own past history, less P-C crap injected into it.

 Remember the destruction of Sambo’s Restaurant chain because of the use of "Little Black Sambo" as a mascot?

 HELLO OUT THERE...ANYONE EVER READ KIPLING?

 Sambo was a Hindu from India. He had NOTHING to do with Black Africa or slavery.

 Back in 1998, America’s first "black" president made a trip to Africa. After having made a total horses ass of himself; (apologies to
 the horse) apologizing for slavery, Uganda’s black President replied: "African chiefs were the ones waging war on each other and
 capturing their own people and selling them. If anyone should apologize, it should be the African chiefs."

 - The leader of Uganda noted that the sailors from the slave ships didn't go through the jungles chasing people.

 Black leaders were profiting off their own people when they sold some of their excess slaves to the ships in the 1600s.

 Presently, with total disregard for actual history or truth, the assault is against any symbol of the South. The Confederate Battle
 Flag is now a nasty symbol of racism and hatred, according to the most racist and hate-filled bunch of Communist crapola masters
 in history. Nevermind that the War Between The States was not and never had been about slavery.

 - Celebrate the sad fact that virtually every single Black American who has the guts to speak up and admonish his fellow blacks
 that it’s long overdue to clean up your act, get an education, teach your kids right from wrong, study your history and become
 worthwhile Americans gets paid a visit by Jesse Jackson and his band of thugs who make a living stirring up hatred and keeping
 the pot boiling by keeping the vast majority of Black Americans ignorant of their own true culture and history. The TRUTH is not and
 never has been a part of the vocabulary of Comrade Jackson, Comrade Sharpton, Comrade Waters, and the rest of the pathetic,
 socialist traitors the blacks seem to love so much. Talk about being led by a ring through your nose?

 - Near total inability to govern themselves. The City of Compton, just up the freeway a few minutes from here, is a shining example
 of blacks ruling themselves. Once a relatively clean, prosperous, nice place to live, as the blacks moved in, the crime rate soared.
 Nearly over night, the iron bar industry went into high gear to produce bars for every window. Security screen doors guard every
 entryway. Nice, neat, green lawn neighborhoods were turned into pigstys; lawns often dead and overgrown with weeds, streets and
 alleys littered with trash, gang graffiti everywhere and junk yard dogs in many yards to try and keep the two legged animals at bay.

 The black-run Compton School District was the first in the history of California to fail so miserably at running their own school
 district that the State of California Dept. of Education had to take it over.

 Compton had such a high, violent crime and murder rate and was so incompetent at running it’s own police department that last
 year, the Compton P.D. was disbanded, replaced by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

 In Washington, DC (district of criminals), the people elected a junky as mayor, then after he went to prison and came out, they
 reelected the same junky all over again. Not much in the way of moral standards, there.

 There.....I’ve said it. I, for one, am sick of the constant push by the socialist feelgooders to force non-achievers down my throat as a
 supposed way of life. I resent watching TV and motion pictures, where 80 % of the judges, police supervisors, and other power
 figures are always either black, female or both.

 I’m tired of hearing about million man marches, Kwanzaa, Black Music Awards, Black Congressional Caucus, Black Student Body,
 Black fraternity and sorority houses, black studies, black achievement awards, black television, black this, black that, black the
 other thing when, in fact, the blacks can’t even get their act together and learn to live as members of a society.

 If you truly want to EARN respect, and it has to be earned; (you have no right to just receive it without earning and deserving it) get
 your act together. Clean up your streets and neighborhoods. Spank your kids and make them behave. Teach right from wrong.
 Demand that your sons and daughters practice safe sex and only have children as a family instead of producing tens of thousands
 of professional baby factories.

 If and until these things take place, in reality, you have damned little to celebrate.
