Reality IS color blind!


Looking beyond all the talk of discrimination, racism, white privilege and lists of other talking points by race baiters, and victim wannabes, we see concrete proof that it's all BS. Yet, these groups fail to see, or at least fail to acknowledge this proof.

A Black American can never get ahead in America they scream, but we just keep seeing Black Americans get ahead... way ahead!

It is tough for any American not born to privilege to win fame, and/or fortune. But there is a formula for doing it, and it works regardless of skin color, ethnicity, or any characteristic from birth.

That formula is open to all: Get an education; obey the rules; be dependable in your work place.

Consider Bobby Jindal, Nicki Haley, Suzana Martinez, minorities who are members of the most exclusive club in the world: State Governors... only 50 members among some 315 million Americans.

How about Dr. Ben Carson, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and dozens more highly respected, highly accomplished, successful black Americans.

Or, look to the world of sports, or of music, where ability means everything. No one is born with the ability to play an instrument, hit a baseball or shoot a basket. It takes lots of hard work, endless practice and a determination. But those efforts will not be denied because of minority status.

Both Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams were born dirt poor, were raised in those abominable housing projects. Success came to these black economists in spite of their race or their humble beginnings.

As a child, New Mexico Lt. Governor John Sanchez was so poor that when he wore holes in the soles of his shoes, his mother could not afford to have them repaired. She cut liners from cereal boxes 

Sadly, many young Americans are being taught there is no opportunity for them in America. They are urged not to be successful, as that would not be black enough. In other words, don't strive for good grades in school; don't dress and groom yourself for success: that would be "acting white". 

But, a white youth can fail just as quickly as a black one. Witness the young men who wear their trousers low on their hips. In many American jails and prisons, inmates are not permitted to have a belt, so their trousers hang low on their hips. Emulating a prison inmate is a good first step toward becoming one.

Success or failure come to those who seek it. Reality proves it.
