Life is Cheap When You’re an African American

“Barack Obama would certainly not be a U.S. President if he was just a regular coloured person in America. He’s only one now because of his lineage and connections. You see life is cheap for African Americans, if they ain’t killing themselves, they’re getting killed by others or being incarcerated in prison. Violence and poverty for African Americans is endemic. When it comes down to it, a black person’s life ain’t worth a white person’s freedom. It just ain’t and never will be. You don’t see blacks rallying when they’re constantly shooting each other, it’s only when they get shot by someone who ain’t black,” Karl Matheson, a race equalities worker told Ebony magazine.

America’s prison population is awash with the African American. Successive U.S. governments just don’t know what to do with them.

“You would have thought since slavery was abolished in 1865 the African Americans would have risen up the social scale just a little, but apart from a few tokens here and there, there are still major distances in the gulf between blacks and whites in America.” social anthropologist, Kathy Denholm told CNN.

The 16th U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln said in an 1858 speech: “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

Anyone who studies ancient history or modern history will attest to the fact that the inherent nature of man rarely changes. It does not matter what progressive laws and ideologies pass, and how human societies develop supposed ‘equality’ laws. The inherent nature of humanity always stays the same.
