Georgia Makes It Too Easy for LOSERS While Making Things Difficult For Elderly Citizens and the Gainfully Employed That Are Forced To Pick Up The Tab!
Written by Alberta Parish
Last night, while watching a news program about Chicago’s off-the-charts gun violence, and the number of senseless shooting deaths and injuries associated with it, which was hosted by CNN anchor Don Lemon, I felt that I just had to put my two cents in today. There are many different communities within the city of Chicago. There’s the Jewish community, the Asian community, the Latino community, etc. But I haven’t heard about too many shooting deaths and injuries in these particular communities. All I’ve heard so far is about all the killings, armed robberies, rapes, etc. going on in black neighborhoods. I saw the parents whose children have either been killed or injured crying on the panel as they recounted their own horror stories to Don Lemon about how their loved ones had been gunned down on the streets of Chicago. All I kept thinking while seeing this and also talking to my male friend about it over the phone is many black people don’t have enough respect for one another and I see it every day whether on the job, in my neighborhood, etc.
There is a code of honor that seems to be missing from among blacks – born not in African and other countries – but here in the United States. I’ve lived in Atlanta also known as the Black Mecca since 1985. I’ve seen and dealt with some things over the years that have made me keep a safe distance from a certain element in the black community. By me being strong-willed, I don’t want to end up shot and killed over some BS. I don’t want to have to go to heaven and tell Jesus, “I messed up.” I live in a neighborhood surrounded by black people, and even this is a bit disconcerting and highly annoying some days, because when I walk out my door to go to work and I see people in their 20s and 30s not actively working and haven’t worked on any job in over three years now, not actively seeking employment, just hanging out on the corner, not going to college but they have two, three, four or five children, and they live off Georgia Tanner (welfare program), and also receive $700 or more in food stamp benefits each month, and they receive Section 8 assistance, and many of them are not under Section 8 but property management still cuts them slack on their rent anyway, this boils my blood. Why? My mother is on a fixed income, and they won’t cut her any slack on her rent even though she’s requested the “Board” to lower her rent and more than once. Please understand that my mother lives in a townhome, not a regular apartment. They’re refusing to work with my mother regarding lowering her rent, but I know that other people’s rent have been lowered and even cut in half. Here is a prime example of the lack of respect that many black people have toward elderly residents in our communities. My mother is sixty-eight years old. Georgia makes it too easy for LOSERS while making things difficult for elderly citizens, and for those who believe in working for a living (whether you’re an entrepreneur or you work a salaried job).
I’ve had more problems that I never thought I’d experience in my dealings with black people (whether co-workers, bosses, or strangers) than with any other racial or ethnic group. I’m dead serious. The main problem as I stated earlier is that most American blacks don’t have enough respect and honor among each other. We can no longer effectively point the finger at the white man, and continuously blame white people for our current failures as a community or as a race. In 2009, it is no longer the KKK that’s hanging black people. It is black people who are hanging black people. Surely, the system of racism is still prevalent in America but when you commit crimes against your fellow man, you got to go into the system. You will pay the price. Once you go into the system, that’s pretty much it for you. Society will never let you forget that you are a felon, and it’s even worse for you when you are a black felon. Just like there are two types of white people in America, the truly racist/segregationist and the non-racist/non-segregationist, there are two types of black people in America; those who are about business and are attempting to be a contributing member of society, and those who don’t care about nothing or nobody. They don’t care about themselves; don’t have respect and honor for themselves. If don’t respect yourself, how can you respect others? If you don’t have an honor system for yourself, how can you honor others and how can you pass that honor code down to your children? Pride for yourself makes you walk away from confrontational situations without the use of violence. If someone hasn’t touched you in any way, walk away. Say what you have to say, and then walk away without the use of violence. This reminds me of the world champion boxer Vernon Forrest who was shot in the back numerous times. His assailants shot him in the back as he was walking away. Vernon Forrest was robbed at gunpoint as he attempted to get gas for his vehicle at a pump on McDaniel Street in Atlanta. He ran after his assailants with a gun into a neighborhood apartment complex. He didn’t find his assailants, so he turned around and walked off. That’s when they shot him. There is clearly no honor system when you shoot a man in the back several times. There is no honor system when you chase people down with a gun.
As a black American woman, I can’t stand to see black people who are clearly missing an honor code for himself/herself. I’m tired of my tax dollars taking care of losers; people who don’t believe they should work, not actively looking for work, are clearly manipulating the system, and are not even attempting to get an education beyond high school so that they can better their financial life and have something to pass on to their children. These people are basically dead weight in a society that thrives on competition and economics. If they won’t take care of themselves, the American taxpayer has to take care of them, which in turn puts even more financial strain on taxpayers as well as the government (on a national, state, and local level). Many of these individuals do not have a plan for their lives period. They’re using the current economic crisis as a major excuse to not actively seek employment. Georgia is one place among many that really fosters the attitudes, the mentality, and the laziness of these individuals. Now, there are many white people especially in rural communities that are welfare recipients. I’m tired of my tax dollars taking care of these individuals, too. Of course, the media doesn’t really emphasize the fact that there are probably far more white Americans on welfare today than there are black Americans. I’ve never been on welfare; don’t know what it’s like to be on welfare. This is because I’ve always held a job. I’ve only ever been unemployed for up to two months since working from the age of eighteen. A lot of people don’t have because they don’t want to work. They want everything given to them. A lot of people don’t have because they work low-salary and dead-end jobs. This is when you need to go to Plan B. Sometimes, you have to stop working for other people and start your own business. Sometimes, you have to go back to college. You would think that with the price of goods and services drastically increasing that earned wages would also drastically increase. However, earned wages for many jobs (particularly in the service industry) has not kept up with rising inflation for the past twenty years. A single person (with no children) working a low-salary job with a car note payment of $400 per month, rent/mortgage well over $700 per month, the high price of food and other expenses included will struggle from paycheck to paycheck, and probably will be forced to work a second job just to make ends meet. Most companies in the state of Georgia are underpaying their workers anyway.
The world isn’t going to give you anything unless you’re already filthy rich. It’s amazing how filthy rich people get richer each minute of each day while poor people in America get poorer. Like almost 2% of the American population owns about 70% of America’s wealth. Of course, this is by design. In American culture, money is power. If you want to keep the people powerless or take away the people’s power, take away their money. If the government wants to establish a new social order in America, all they would need to do is take away our money or just simply destroy the value of the American dollar. Make paper currency worthless. If the government really wanted to fix our economic system, they could start by forgiving the debts that we’ve all accumulated. But of course, their true agenda is really not to solve this country’s economic crisis, but to enslave us to more debt so that way we all become slaves to the system. Slaves to the federal government. Once we are enslaved by the government, enslaved in every aspect of our lives, it becomes easier for legislature to be passed without much resistance, because at the end of the day people in a civilized society must have the basic necessities of life; food, clothing/shoes, water, shelter. At the end of the day, people want to eat and have the basic necessities of life available for their little ones or even big ones. Who wants to not be able to feed his/her family? Who wants to not be able to pay all of his/her basic utility bills on time, especially to avoid disconnection of service? If the government wasn’t so busy keeping American taxpayers enslaved to federal, state and local taxes, we’d have more money available from earned wages to purchase goods and services, thereby boosting the economy. But no! That’ll be too much like right. Why is the government attempting to balance the budget on the backs of its elderly citizens? I’ve heard there will be no increase in Social Security benefits until 2012. Of course, the monies not being paid to Social Security recipients will definitely go toward some project, something which will not benefit American taxpayers and will further demise America’s economic system.
This caste system in America clearly divides the haves from the have nots, both in attitude and financial status. Oh, we have certain famous people, politicians, athletes, entertainers who have chosen to help those that are less fortunate. But as an underprivileged American, you’ll never get to live in their rich neighborhoods unless you become rich yourself. You’ll never get to dine with them at some of the same restaurants they dine in, or run around with them in the same social circle unless of course you actually work for them. Either this or you have to be a member of their entourage. However, being a member of a celebrity’s entourage sometime comes with a huge price, as is evidenced with Michael Jackson’s former entourage, some of whom are facing criminal charges very soon due to the circumstances surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, which quickly became a homicide investigation only a few days after he died on June 25, 2009. Of course, the LAPD and other law enforcement officials kept denying for the next two and a half weeks that Michael Jackson’s death had become an official homicide investigation. However, I read between the lines, and then drew my own conclusions. I had even stated as such in my July 10, 2009 blog entitled The MICHAEL JACKSON Most People Thought They Knew But Didn’t. I can say that Michael Jackson was a very kindhearted and sensitive person, and did not deserve all the negative and evil things that happened to him, even on the last day of his life.
