BISON BROTHERS' POLITICAL COLLOQUY
Quotation from Roosevelt Sharpe:
"As a Christian I am not a follower of Malcolm X however Malcolm was right on point with a couple of things. He saw what was happening in the 60’s. The following is his actual quote:
“Negroes (i.e., the race problem, the integration and civil rights issues) are nothing but tools, used by one group of whites called Liberals against another group of whites called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among whites here in America, the political teams are no longer divided into Democrats and Republicans. The whites who are now struggling for control of the American political throne are divided into “liberal” and “conservative” camps. The white liberals from both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal, and white conservatives from both parties do likewise.
The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.
Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These “leaders” sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These “leaders” are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders”
This is all so true today.
My point is that understanding this truth as spoken by Malcolm X, it best serves our interest to understand this truth and play the political parties against one another as other groups have done. ... but not us..... Instead we black folks Sold our Souls to the Democratic Party in the 1960’s for 30 pieces of silver and never looked back. We gave them leadership of our cities, our schools which both have declined. We gave them our souls with our backing of their agendas of Socialism, homosexual rights, transgender acceptability, partial birth abortions, bestiality in the military, illegal immigration protection, legal gateway drugs, and Gay Marriage of which all are against our innate morality. The democrats accepted this gift from us, accepted our votes, our devotion and accepted our dollars. They then stole our history and our future and never looked back at us or our issues again. ...."
My Response to Roosevelt Sharpe :
This quotation from Malcolm X is on point, as are the grievous liberalism deviances, also catalogued, which burden us today. Thus, with this I agree! I do not agree that Trump is our answer.
Separately, I have urged that we be a "Noncommitted Party," appendages to neither one, but available to both , either or neither, depending on the issue, national, regional , local, in accordance with our wants, as predefined by our wise men and wise women, wise boys and wise girls! Bless you Howard Bison brother for speaking truth to the forefront !
