Allen West “I don’t look to a man to get pride in myself”

I’m a White guy who grew up in the Midwest… and doors locked when I approached cars and I WAS followed in malls. Nobody owns these experiences. People have a right to feel safe, as well as protect their stuff. This is about power and power alone. That’s the “honest” discussion we need to have about race in America. And after we’ve had that discussion, which should take about 30 seconds, when need to get back to the INDIVIDUAL freedom and liberty our Founding Documents were created to protect. It’s time to defend the greatest minority on earth… the individual.

Gratitude is always a plus. Did you notice when Obama was going through his diatribe about how he experienced all these terrible things at the hands of racist whites the way all young black men do, he neglected to mention he’d also been elected twice to the Presidency of the United States?

Very nice response. I saw you on Hannity tonight – the Voice of Reason – something we all like to hear. And, that is the great thing about telling the Truth, it is noticed and heard. You’ve reached a lot of folks …. well, both of us have. I haven’t had my race relations speech with Barry, but it is coming. I have communicated to Reverend Al Sharpton – it was not about the Zimmerman case, it was about respect, creating a divide, and particularly about what to do with some of our black youth, violence, and families. Again, I have recommended that a private organization get seriously involved. My black doctor told me that the reason for this was the absence of a Father figure which goes all the way back before the Civil War when families were split up and some of them sold. Black males often had to leave their families behind which created a strong, black female, but one without a spouse, and children without a Father. So, we need to address this – whatever it takes. If it takes therapy, counseling, reuniting children with their parents, working to make both parents responsible for the upbringing of their children. We need to keep young, black youth out of the jails and offer a different alternative – like working as a volunteer. All parents need to understand, black, white, purple or pink, that they are basically responsible for only 2 things – making sure the child gets Christ training and making sure the parents are preparing them for adulthood – like the importance of an honest dollar for an honest day’s labor – be it Burger King or President. There is honor in all work. The communities need to get involved and allow youngsters to follow some people around – like firemen, policemen, mechanics, doctors, etc. After that, it is up to the child to make his or her way. But, Zimmerman should not be an issue. Families should be. You know the President could have done so much good with this … but he did not, therefore I must assume that all his race speeches were designed for political benefit and that is what I am going to be talking to him about. There are some that would say I was disrespectful for calling him “Barry.” That is the name his Mother gave him and he glories himself so much that he could use a little of humility. In all of his political problems, it didn’t really matter if what he did was right or wrong, it does however matter if you try to sweep it under the rug. We all can understand mistakes, we don’t understand trying to hide them. Just own up to them – easy. Then, and only then, will the problems go away. What can anybody say if somebody says, “well I called it wrong.” Nothing, and at that time it may make the news, but it will go away. Otherwise, it will not. Kind of like Benghazi – as long as the Special Forces and Seals were involved, they will not let him forget. They will be like a sore that continues to fester. But, it is his problem and he needs to deal with it, but, he won’t, so it will be unveiled by somebody and then again, he will have to deal with it. You know, we have a president that is just not too bright. He can tell a funny story, but he can’t lead a Nation. He should have gone into late night. Incidently, I am getting some international attention. I am afraid that my business is on the cusp of “booming” – as soon as I start offering my goods to the international market. You are doing great – so many people are interested in you in politics. I am not surprised. And, although I probably don’t have to say it, God Bless You.
