Introduction to the Racial Divide
My next journey was to the United States of America where I was off to college on an athletic scholarship. It was another moment of adjustment, as it was here I was introduced to racial undertones of Black and White culture. I was told trusting the white man is dangerous. I was told of the two political parties in America one was for Blacks and the other was for White people. For me, this did not sit well. I made it my duty to learn the history of the American culture. After all, it was both Black and White coaches who recruited me to the same university.
The Focus Should Be On the Family Unit
Now in my adopted home country, America, a country I love and now have a family, my goal is to understand this country and the racial dynamics, so my children will be able to live as Americans without the badge of racial inferiority. There are constant calls for equality--the interpretation of which is for making racial quotas. Cries of racial discrimination and demands for reparation. Will America survive these calls? Why are there not more calls to rebuild the family unit?
The Importance of the Family Bond Comes From God
It is written that in the beginning, God made them male and female. He later commanded that man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. One of the strongest bonds of the African descendants in the West has been the family units.
The Family Unit Creates Ties That Bind
The strength of any society is the bonds of the family. It is why I wake up each morning sometimes traveling hundreds to thousands of miles to make sure I can put bread on my family's table. It is why I believe having the right to protect your family is an intrinsic right. The government cannot define the family as the family precedes it. It is because of this I believe the US Constitution has enshrined natural rights and is worth fighting for. When you destroy the family, you destroy the hopes of humanity. If the Black man could maintain his family in poverty and the system of oppressive slavery, he can surely do it today!
Joe Biden and His Race Baiting
At the height of the crack epidemic between 1984 to 1990 black families were being decimated especially in impoverished neighborhoods. Thugs, killing each other, abandonment of young children by parents strung out on crack. Fathers/mothers overdosing and prostituting themselves for a fix. As a result of this epidemic, Black Churches, community leaders, and politicians called for tougher penalties to rid the streets and protect families from this tragedy.
