Attack on the Civil Rights Movement

ATTACK ON THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

When one thinks of a civil rights movement, one usually thinks of Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcom X and other prominent "effective" civil rights leaders. The struggle to have a country recognize one's race and to treat them as equals and to afford them equal protection of the law. To me, without the civil rights movements, I would be going through the same struggles as my grandfather and my father. I thank God, that today, the same struggles they had to endure, is not as prominent as it was back then. The civil rights leader of the past, should be honored and never forgotten, and having said that, the civil rights, my parents and my grandparents afforded to me, should not be given up and used for illegal and immorale purposes.

Today, when we turn on the news or read a local newspaper, you are most likely to see someone compare their plight to the plight of blacks in the 60's. During the 2004 elections, gays used their plight to justify their "want" to be recognized a married couples. They claim that just because they are gay, they are discriminated against. So when individual states voted on defining marriage, out came the most second powerful card in the deck, the "Civil Rights Movement" card. This card is catching up in use with the "race card." When in doubt and can't back up your arguement, this card comes in handy.

Now folks who use that card, have to be careful. If you don't believe, ask gays and PETA. These groups tried to use that card only to be rebutted by black civil rights groups opposite of the sold out civil rights groups, who have been rendered impotent and ineffective. The new black civil rights group quickly with the pen served them with a "it's not the same thing, it's not even in the same ball park" columns in newspapers and news talkshows.

Then there are illegal aliens, these people are comparing their plight to that of the civil rights movement of blacks. Lets analyze, there are two groups of people who are not immigrants..one is the Native American and the other was brought here against their will...They would be called, slaves. These slaves consisted of Africans sold into slavery by their own tribes. As a matter of fact, this act is still going on in Africa. Blacks who were enslaved and their ancestors are not immigrants. I don't think if they were offered a cruise on a wooden ship, with the promise of being shackled side by side, butt, stark naked on the bottom of said wooden ship for days on out, only for the privilege of being a slave. I don't think the most ignorant in the jungles of Africa would take that deal.

Somehow illegal aliens feel that since they illegally crossed our borders, took low skilled wage earners jobs, obtain welfare,free education without being caught or questioned. They feel they should be rewarded with outright citizenship or the ability of keeping their citizenship of their country of origin. Oh! by the way, if Americans don't like it..they're racist! (the all powerful race card).

This is a simple assault on the real legacy of the civil rights movement. Being gay, a non-meat eater or illegal alien does not equate or even come close to the struggles of Black Americans in the past. As a matter of fact the attack by these people should qualify as an alarm that once again blacks are about to get the bowzack again.

The problem is that our elected and self elected black leaders have been given a date rape drug and too busy gettin' did to realize that there is an attack on the civil rights movement.
