Governor Bush! America always had an Affirmative Action Program
and Set-Asides for the white privileged and their children. There was
an invisible sign, which read “Blacks need not apply.” This practice
went on into the sunset, and met at the O.K. Corral of economic
prosperity.

Even the bathrooms, restaurants, theaters, armed forces, water
fountains, churches, State, and Federal Contracts etc., were all
set-asides for privileged whites and their children. They benefited
tremendously and were able to send their children to Technical Schools, Colleges
and Universities. While blacks were relegated to discrimination,
inferior schools denied their civil and human rights. This was no myth of
the imagination---this is American history. In addition, many White
Christians gave their approval by silent consent decree.

Today, we hear! “I had nothing to do with what my ancestors did,”
which may be true! However, Jesus had nothing to do with Adam and Eve
committing sin in the Garden. Yet, he dedicated his life to eliminate
the inequities in society without oppressing others directly or
indirectly for self-gain. Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as you love
yourself,” this is an easy undertaking when God’s love exists within the human
heart.

Our conscious is what distinguishes us from other animals. In
addition, until Americans desire for their neighbors, the same things that
they themselves and their children have received. Then Americans will
continue to lose their humanity, on the world sage of
respectability----. Peace!
