Obama’s New Amerikan Plantation
The one thing the Obama election has exposed is that some, perhaps many, blacks are still on the plantation (and they have been joined by victims of liberalism from all races of man). Even though the plantations of old have been burned to the ground and slaves have been given their freedom, many refuse to leave the illusion of safety provided by their imprisonment.
The original owners of the plantation have long been replaced by the government (now under the control of Liberals), but those who still scream about their victimization are now willing victims of government control, afraid to leave the devil they know for the one they don’t.
And, of course, this condition isn’t improved by leaders like Jackson, Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, et al who profit from the continued slavery of men, women, and children.
Indeed, the very charge of racism is often a cover for those who seek to perpetuate the irrational fear of freedom–perpetuate it because they profit from it. Victory over that irrational fear requires those who cling to it–who are imprisoned by it–to give it up…and that demands a leap of faith from the whining immaturity of eternal slavery to the brave self-sufficiency enjoyed by free men.
Those people who hold tight to “racism” must to step off the plantation and take their place in the free world. They must leave the Government Zoo and enter the wild and woolly jungle of the free market and free society. BTW, that is why racists have so much venom for those who have left the plantation (i.e. conservatives…especially black conservatives)…they fear the free world they have entered.
All that said, the dilemma our country now faces is a strange one considering that Obama promised liberation and equality to his brothers. Those who support Obama must realize that what Obama is trying to do IS NOT liberate the black man or the poor man or the immigrant.
Like Jackson, Sharpton and Wright, Obama is feeding into the fear of those who are self-exiled in slavery. He is saying, “don’t worry, I won’t make you leave the plantation. I know you are afraid of freedom…so instead of making you embrace freedom and all it offers, I’ll just get rid of it. I’ll round up all those who are not afraid of freedom and imprison them with you on the new Government Plantation.”
That is what Socialism is…it is the destruction of freedom so that those who fear it are no longer threatened or tempted by it (freedom, that is). Socialism creates a zoo for us to live in. It rids humanity of all the excellence and invention and creativity that free men are capable of…and replaces it with a vast, inescapable plantation of shared mediocrity and hopelessness.
This is Obama’s vision for Amerika!
