Greetings my fellow Observers,
As we start the week with disbelief and heavy hearts, Mad man has a question for all of his white observers. Do you really think that racism doesn't exist in America and how long are you going to continue to allow this cancer to continue to poison our society and not do anything about it?
Dylaan Roof, the bigoted and evil white man who murdered nine people in the Mother Emanuel First AME church, last Wednesday in Charleston, South Carolina, while they were attending bible study, and giving reasons that expressed his total racist disregard for African Americans is not an anomaly. There are thousands of Dylaan Roofs out there and all of them celebrate the flying of the confederate flag.
The media is pushing the political stance to remove the flag from state buildings and place it in a museum, While this beacon of separatist hatred is still being supported by the Republican Presidential candidates who are afraid of losing the bigoted white vote while crying foul are refusing to discuss the matter.
As long as all Americans shy away from the serious discussion of race relations in this country, bigoted, vile, and evil cowards like Dylaan Roof will continue to murder innocent African Americans.
This cowardly pig all but admitted it himself when he stated "that he didn't want to go to the ghetto to kill Black people because that might have been too dangerous for him." What?!!!!!
Many politicians, especially Republicans who depend on bigoted and racist white people for their vote are dancing around the issue of the removal of the flag as well as racism in America. And again, the commentary revolves around the exasperated response and sigh of frustration while exclaiming "what do Black people want?"
The people of Charleston and Mother Emanuel are actually letting Black politicians off the hook with their love conquers all reaction to this terrorist attack because there should be some anger in these elected officials because the state of racism in America has gone on way to long.
The confederate flag is exactly a symbol of racism against Black people, but this cancer runs deeper than the colors of a bigoted flag hanging on a pole. It's about education, economics, and the standard of living being denied to Black people every single day and nothing's being done about it.
Mad Man is just a guy who writes an opinion everyday who may not be the most eloquent of wordsmiths so sometimes he finds words by others to help him explain his thoughts and positions.
The following words were spoken by Martin Luther King, Jr., after those four little girls were killed when white bigots bombed their church in Birmingham, Alabama on September 15, 1963.
"And, yet they died nobly. They are martyred heroines of a holy crusade for freedom and human dignity. And so this afternoon in a real sense they have something to say to each of us in their death. They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained glass windows."
"They have something to say to the politicians who have fed their constituents with the stale bread of hatred and spoiled meat of racism. They have something to say to a federal government that has compromised with the undemocratic practices of southern Dixiecrats (BIGOTS), and the right-winged northern Republicans."
"They have something to say to every Negro who has passively accepted the evil system of segregation and who has stood on the sidelines in a mighty struggle for justice. They say to each of us, Black and white alike, that we must substitute courage for caution. They say to us that we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers. Their death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly for the realization of the American dream"
These same comments, made in 1963, are applicable today and how unfortunately pitiful do they make us all feel?
Mad Man
