Hurting Blacks, Women and Homosexuals as Government Policy

By Rabbi David Eidensohn

A recent article in the New York Times tells how desperate black women seek husbands just to help them survive, and how the welfare system that once promoted black one-parent families, is now geared towards two-family marriages. Black women now marry, not because they want to, but because social programs dictate their marital status. Social experts consider such marriages, of convenience, of desperation, as unlikely to produce health children.

Who would believe, after the Civil War, that blacks, freed at such a frightful cost in human blood, would end up this way? The Civil war was the first mass military slaughter in warfare as modern rifles and cannon destroyed onrushing armies. These rivers of blood had set the black free from slavery. Now, people assumed, things would improve. They did, for a while, and the blacks, with their strong culture and religion, their cheerful spirits and steadfast hopes, began to rise, slowly but steadily, until in a few decades the segregated black community featured black insurance companies and other businesses, as well as various occupations that were controlled by blacks.

There were terrible problems, such as segregation in schools and even public transportation. The question was, how to deal with that? After the Second World War, blacks returned home, many of them war heroes, and found the hate as strong as ever. Some soldiers were lynched. Truman declared the army integrated, and the Supreme Court followed a few years later with the Brown decision, integrating America's public schools. Lyndon Johnson pushed through a strong Civil Rights law in 1964. In 1971 the Supreme Court sanctioned quotas for businesses in Griggs v Duke Power Company, and blacks had entrée everywhere. A special government agency, the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunities Commission) replete with blacks and liberals, threatened all large businesses in America with lawsuits if they did not produce their quota of blacks.

From slavery until when these civil rights initiatives took effect, the black community was free of the ferocious criminals and killers that roam the inner-cities today. Until the Civil Rights movement, blacks were deeply religious, full of positive love and courage, and the inner cities were safe places. When the immigrant boat arrived at Ellis Island, New Yorkers woke up at all hours of the night to summon the resources to greet and feed the family arrivals. Young girls went running through the city in the wee hours, rapping on doors, getting material, running up the flights of steps of poverty-area tenements, and there was nothing to fear. Blacks, in those days, were fine, family people, and could always be counted on to help, never to hurt. All of that changed after the Civil Rights movement went into high gear.

As time goes on, the black community, always known for its sweet sounds and soul music, has become suffused with hate. Its leadership is highly anti-Semitic, and this is the mood in the street. Hatred of "whitey" is enormous, and the worst crime is black on black, when people simply kill and beat others for no reason, so filled are they with negative impulses.

It is time to point the finger of blame at the Civil Rights Movement itself. Whoever is helped by it becomes a victim. First, it destroyed blacks. It turned them into a culture of drugs and crime, helpless women with huge families and no husbands. It then turned its efforts on women, who are now burdened with the "freedom" to have a full time job, be a wife, be a parent, and somehow, be a man-woman or a woman-man as the mood of society and the culture ebbs and flows. When will we recognize what we are doing? When will we say stop? When will we stop tampering with nature? When will we realize that helping people doesn't mean hurting them?

America then tried to help gays. It passed, in the eighties, the HIV Confidentiality Laws that protected sick gays from the public health officials. Now gays could gather in public bathhouses and infect hundreds and thousands of people. The gays died hideously, and spread the disease to the inner cities, to the blacks, who are now reeling from the effects of this terrible epidemic. It then spread into heterosexual woman, who don't realize that the government protects them from sexually transmitted diseases only if the diseases are that of the majority, but not if it is a disease of gays.

Civil rights are civil wrongs, when they produce death and disease, destroy families, and force women to do anything to keep up with the latest policy regarding welfare.
