Do You Have A Black George Washington?

My bedroom is a big kid's dream. It is furnished in rustic pine. The walls are covered with things like a bullfight poster, an old wood saw with a country scene painted on it, prints of cowboys and Indians, etc. On one side of my bureau hangs a sixgun in a carved Spanish leather holster. On the other side hangs a Bowie knife as long as my forearm. Topping the mirror is a set of steer's horns. Needless to say, I'm not married. Yesterday, I dropped a few hundred dollars on a large oil painting of Buffalo Soldiers to hang over the head of my bed. While in the shop, I saw a print of the Last Supper. Everyone in the picture was black. (sigh) Every time I see a painting of a black Jesus, I ask (in my head) "Do you have a black George Washington or Abe Lincoln?" Jesus was a real person. Regardless of what you believe about His divinity, He existed just as surely as George Washington did. He was born in Bethlehem of Hebrew parents. He was not born in sub-Saharan Africa. He was not white, He was not black, He was a Mediterranean Jew. Why do blacks feel they must "borrow" from the heritage of other cultures? Because black "leaders" and educators prefer to dwell on slavery and racism, to wallow in victimhood, rather than teach the rich heritage of African-Americans to children. They are doing black children and the nation as a whole a criminal disservice. Blacks such as Bill Cosby, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas and Colin Powell, who stray from the rhetoric of the liberal plantation, are demonized. African-Americans have contributed as much to this country as whites. They have been cowboys, soldiers, sailors, lawmen, inventors, doctors, lawyers, political leaders, etc. But who knows that the first black soldier to earn the Medal of Honor was a Buffalo Soldier named Corporal Clifton Greaves? How many people know that the Tuskegee Airmen were not only fighter pilots but bomber pilots, bombardiers, navigators, gunners, radio specialists and ground engineers? One of the greatest ongoing injustices against the African-American community is not white racism, but black victimhood. It is doing more to hold back black advancement than segregation (also a Democratic policy) ever did. It's a crying shame. Don't even get me started on black Santas.
