VIRTUAL RACISM: Ignorance equals education?

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Ben Kinchlow, former cohost of The 700 Club, in this videtorial shares that much of what is being affirmed as Racism today is something he calls Virtual Racism. In this mini-documentary produced by Dylan and Josh Wade you will get a non-nonsense history lesson that is spot on. Ben says, “This ‘virtual racism’ would have been hailed years ago by rank and file blacks as ‘having reached the promised land.’

“The thought having been ‘possibly’ redlined for a loan, or ‘perhaps’ not being promoted, or experiencing deliberately slow service at a restaurant would have been an occasion for singing, ‘We have overcome.’

“I had a very interesting conversation with a young African-American man recently who owns his own business and he’s also the operations manager for a very successful minority-owned business. He and his wife drive luxury imports and send their kids to a private school.

“When he complained about racism because of an article he had seen, I asked him, ‘How would you define racism in America? Give me some examples.’ He trotted out the usual… ‘People who are refused jobs.’ ‘People who disagree with Obama.’ ‘People who use the N word,’ etc.

“But I persisted. Give me a specific example of when and how have personally been subjected to overt racism or racist behavior?

“He was forced to admit that neither he, nor anyone he knew personally, had ever been subjected to overt racism? He was forced to admit that neither he nor anyone he knew personally had ever been called the N word or experienced other racist behavior from whites.

“So I asked him, ‘Have you ever seen a segregated water fountain?’

“He laughed, ‘You’re kidding, right?’

“Nope, I used to drink out of them all the time in segregated parks.

‘Segregated parks?!’ “Sure! You don’t think Blacks and Whites used the same parks, or playgrounds and schools do you?”

‘Get out, Ben!’

“Have you ever been to a ‘colored’ cemeteries? Yeah, there was backs of buses, separate waiting rooms and even separate churches. You know a white church member I met years ago believed that God had ordained segregation and actually said to me that we can be together in heaven because there we’ll all be washed whiter than snow. That’s a true story.

“He just looked at me. So I asked him tell me again what were saying about racism in modern day America?”

Silence.

Obama to Axe Small Business Programs_ Lloyd Chapman Reports

Alex talks with the president and founder of the American Small Business League, Lloyd Chapman, about the Occupy Wall Street protests now entering a third week. Mr. Chapman and Jones will also talk about the economy and how Obama’s policies are hurting small business in America.

Petaluma, Calif. – Friday the Obama Administration set a rule change in motion to eliminate federal contracting programs for minority-owned small businesses. A shocking move since, in the midst of one of the worst recessions in U.S. history, unemployment has hit minority groups especially hard. According the U.S. labor department, the jobless figure for African Americans is almost twice that of overall unemployment (16.7 percent).

The proposed rule change is aimed at ending federal programs that establish, for the Department of Defense (DOD), NASA and the U.S. Coast Guard, a five percent federal contracting goal with small socially and economically disadvantaged businesses.

Around 35 percent of the U.S. population is made up of ethnic minorities, and 5.8 million businesses are minority-owned. The American Small Business League (ASBL) estimates that if the policy is implemented, minority-owned small businesses could lose close to $50 billion in federal contracts annually, which could lead to the loss of millions of jobs.

This is the latest in several instances of abuse of federal small business contracting programs. In addition to attempts to eliminate minority-owned federal contracting programs, the Obama Administration has been criticized for diverting billions of dollars a month in federal small business contracts to Fortune 500 firms and other large businesses worldwide. Some large companies that have received federal small business contracts include Lockheed Martin, British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and Italian defense giant Finmeccanica SpA.
