The number one goal of Black liberalism is to remind America of its past sins of slavery and Jim Crow. By playing on the guilt of white America, black liberals have been able to secure a place for black Americans on the receiving end of America’s charity. The elite amongst black liberals (entertainers, politicians, etc.) benefit the most from this charity, while the people they say they represent see very little of it. What is sad is that despite this, black Americans will still find a way to excuse these leaders when “charities” (in most cases, monies) are misused. The case of Jesse Jackson and the hush money he was paying to his lover with his organization’s money is a prime example. Although there was a little rumble, many blacks chose to forgive and forget, while the mistakes of whites from decades ago still live on in our minds as though it happened yesterday.

This can also be seen on the international level. They will also scream for America’s retribution in the form of Foreign aid to suffering countries. America has a long history of being very charitable to countries that are less fortunate. Unfortunately, the people of these countries benefit little from the US’ charity; while corrupt leaders back-door the dollars into personal accounts.

Black liberals will in most cases favor “the little guy” over the “big guy”. This is all part of the class warfare game that they enjoy playing to make their point that America is the oppressive bully that cares nothing for least among us. However, if you were to dig into the details, you will find that the little guy isn’t always innocent.

One example of this is with the ousted president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. While this man was in power, he ran a very corrupt government that did nothing but sunk this country into further debt and poverty. It is also a known fact that Aristide on many occasions would have those who opposed him threatened, imprisoned, or even killed. Yet despite all of this, between the Clinton and Bush administrations:

US assistance has totaled over $1 billion, which makes (the US) Haiti’s largest aid donor. In the past two months, we have provided more than $11 million in additional assistance to help Haitians rebuild after the recent tropical storms and hurricanes that devastated the island nation. President Bush signed into law a Caribbean aid package of $100 million for hurricane relief, which will benefit Haiti significantly (full article)

During Aristide’s reign of terror over Haiti, black liberals here in the US remained quiet over the fact that most of the poor of this small country did not see the benefit of the billions of dollars that the US gave to this government. Obviously, it wasn’t the poor that black liberals was concerned with. Only when the reign of Aristide was being threatened by the very people that wanted him in power (the poor citizens of Haiti) did black liberals decide to intervene in the growing chaos in that country.

You see, black liberalism cannot have an example of blacks taking matters in their own hands to improve themselves without government intervention this close to America if it is justify its reason to keep whites on the hook for their past sins. That is why Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) to this day is still pleading the case of all of Aristide’s former staff members to President Bush that America does it part in ensuring that they are kept safe. Not once does she mention or show any concern for the actual people of Haiti in her letter. The only time groups like the NAACP or the CBC will show any kind of concern for the poor on the dramatic scale is when it appears that the US is the one that is guilty of the act of oppression.

Here is part of a letter that I found online recently from a Haitian regarding the relationship between the American left and their support for Aristide:

As a Haitian whose family was persecuted, arrested, exiled and/or killed by the Duvalier government for being “radical leftists” and “communists,” I am dismayed by the knee-jerk support the United States left is expressing for Aristide. To me, it is part of the same colonialist mentality that the United States has always had towards Haiti—that foreign whites know what is best for Haiti. Rather than blindly accepting the Aristide government’s propaganda, the United States left should consider why so many of Aristide’s Haitian partisans, including many who fought hard for his return to power after the 1991 coup d’état, have turned against him. The degradation and deterioration of everything in Haiti since cannot be blamed on the lack of foreign aid alone… (full letter)

Here is what Jean Robert Lafortune, chairman for the Haitian-American Grassroots Coalition had to say regarding the NAACP’s involvement with Haiti:

The NAACP politicizes immigration policies for Haitian refugees, but fails to take action, a spokesman for an immigrant group said as the civil rights organization held its first summit yesterday on American-Caribbean relations. “We want a chance to discuss this issue with the NAACP, rather than to have them sit on a stage, issue a statement and be done with it,” … “You cannot advocate for me if you do not know what my needs are. Come to Miami and don’t talk to me; this is not the way to do this if you are sincere about engaging in this process,” he said, noting that NAACP officials did not respond to his group’s request to meet with them this week.

Fidel Castro is another one of those examples that black liberals love to use. Here is a little about him:

…Castro’s regime has created the most repressive police state apparatus in the Western Hemisphere. Cuba is an Orwellian nightmare set in the tropics with Big Brother sporting a beard and cigar. Cuba has refused to ratify any major international law enshrining fundamental human rights. It has refused to sign the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. (full article)

and this:

…The Castro regime’s response to the AIDS crisis has been mandatory nation-wide testing with forced incarceration for anyone who tested positive for the HIV virus. In addition, Castro has had a long tradition of imprisoning homosexuals and transsexuals as “undesirables.” Imprisonment is often based on mere suspicion and rumor. Recently it was reported that young people in Cuba are purposely “shooting up” with HIV infected blood so that they can go to these camps to avoid forced labor. (full article)

Yet despite all of this, Castro is still hailed as a hero of the oppressed by many in the black community:

The oppressed greeted him passionately. They packed the Abyssinian Baptist Church and cheered until they were hoarse on the historic occasion of Fidel’s return to Harlem. They mobbed him when he dined in the Bronx at the invitation of the Puerto Rican representative there, Jose Serrano. Starting with a march of several thousand people on Oct. 21, there were strong demonstrations of support for Cuba and Fidel during every one of the four full days he spent in New York. (full article)

Like Haiti, Cuba has many people who are willing to leave everything behind, build a small raft, and float across the Atlantic in order to find freedom. When I last checked, the NAACP, CBC, or other black liberals were not at the shores of Florida waiting to greet them.

Recently, a group of about 43 entertainers from Cuba sought asylum in this country in Las Vegas. All of them left family back in Cuba. One of the entertainers left her 10 year old son behind. If Fidel is such a voice for the oppressed, why would this mother be willing to leave her child behind? Better yet, why would thousands every year from both countries be willing to risk life and limb for a chance of freedom here in the US?

Black liberals will always claim that it is government who, like a puppet master is pulling the strings of oppression on black Americans. If we were to begin to lift the veil of their rhetoric, we will see that the hands that are pulling the strings are not just white.
