Personal Victimization + Government Handouts = Oppression


You know, I am just about sick of the hypocrisy. I'm flipping through the radio and stop at a "black" station to listen in on what's going on in "their" world. It's all about "them"--black this, black that. The host of the show is discussing a website devoted to "black" people, "black" guest speakers regularly visit the show and discuss "black" health and social topics, there is always some tidbit about "black history" thrown in at some part of the day. Black, black, black. Yet, if there was such a station for "white" everything, it would not be on air. Every station that I listen to--other than the black--there is a good mix of every race thrown in there--from music, to guest speakers, to hosts, to public information--you name it. Yet black people want to call the world racist. When I read a woman's (black woman) bumper sticker on her car--"ERACISM"--I thought to myself, racism is never going to be erased if it is continually perpetuated. And that bumper sticker was perpetuation.


Black people want to be part of this world, yet want to remain separate as an individual unity apart from other races of the world, most importantly, white. It's okay for them to create the separation--but as soon as they read (usually mistakenly) some sort of separation as a race between other races, here comes the NAACP. Ironically, it doesn't matter to the NAACP that it's "own race" is killing each other off socially.


And this brings me to the reason for writing this. Has anyone ever overcame the obstacles in life by being the victim? I can't think of any to date. Truly successful people have always thrown their "wrongdoings by others" out the window and proceeded to break through the chains of "unfairness" done to them in the past. It's as if these "successors" had amnesia when it came to past negativity in life. They marched forward to great accomplishments and personal achievement. Personal setbacks were non-existent. Have excuses ever paved the way to progress?


The Government thinks by padding "the victims" in this world with a handout, they are fixing all the problems of the past. The hard truth is the Universe was designed for a particular success in mind. The kind of success that was created when a person went out and yearned for it--searched for it--all on their own, with no tugging or pushing from other people. It doesn't matter how much or how little you know when that first yearning for success is birthed. The important thing is the "yearning"; the "how to" will develop on its own when the "self" and only the "self" has to figure out how to achieve what it yearns for. Any interference by a second party will stand in the way of moving forward.


That's the way God wrote it in his law, and the only way truly successful people will see success. The Government can't alter it to suit our--really, their--needs. Even if they force people to "pay it back" through volunteerism or community work. This "revised" program will only create more intense entitlement by "victims" who are confused and misinformed. We, the people, and the Government, can juggle power all we want, but the ultimate power belongs to God, and nothing can be changed about that.
