Frank Harris III is at it again. After reading his August 8th Courant.com piece, "On Behalf Of Those Who Cannot Speak," I again found myself tempted to offer Mr. Harris some cheese to accompany his whine. After cutting through the first 1/3 of the article filled with grim and bleak adjectives, it soon occurred to me that Mr. Harris was half-heartedly accepting the recent apology given by Congress to all US slaves (and now all long dead and buried) for slavery. This posthumous waste of time and knee-jerk fluff, courtesy of the public dime, was unofficially accepted by Mr. Harris. (Is this the moment when I am supposed to thump my breast?) Harris accepted the apology, as he said, "not out of hungry desperation, but out of recognition of the gesture made by today's America-far from perfect, but trying." Naturally, the only compliment the United States could ever get from a liberal would be a "left-handed" one. This nonsense is the illustration of the sage adage, "Government that governs least governs best." With gas and home heating oil prices skyrocketing, our dollar plummeting, our borders practically non-existent, and the Middle East every day becoming more of a powder keg while China stealthily amasses more economic and military might, the best Congress can offer the American people is HR 194, which inevitably brought a tear to Harris's eye about as quickly as if somebody edified him that Rosa Parks actually worked for Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger's fruit of her poisonous tree to sterilize and abort away the black race. As for the (Democrat-controlled) Congress, now thankfully, albeit undeservedly on recess for a while, it obviously it must have ran out of Post Offices to rename and Pelosi grandchildren to baby-sit. Newsflash, Mr. Harris: I'm not sorry for slavery. In fact, I couldn't care less that slavery happened in our country. Like most people, I oppose slavery, and had I lived during that time, I would have been an active abolitionist, but slavery, and most, if not all of the remaining former slaves died long before I was even born. It is certainly tragic that it occurred, but I didn't cause it, nor did I (or you) suffer from it, so I don't care, and I'm not going to waste the precious time of the living, including myself, by whining and apologizing for it. Then again, I'm not a liberal. Mr. Harris is probably much more used to dealing with the guilt-ridden, panty-waist kind of white guys among his liberal minions, who go around blubbering into their handkerchiefs all the livelong day for whatever the cause celebre du' jour is. My gosh, man, take a breath and get over it. I'm a Catholic. We have the market cornered on feeling guilty, and even we don't whine and bellyache this much. These crybaby words of Frank Harris III are the very embodiment of black racism, the seething divisiveness often cultivated and promulgated by untouchable groups like the ACLU, NAACP, The United Negro College Fund, race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and their tools of tyrannical oppression like affirmative action quotas and incessant accusations of discrimination and profiling. None of it is about equality, and all of it is about retribution. And they say, we white, conservative men are "angry." Harris bemoans that this Congressional embarrassment was not "front page news in America." Hey, Frank, if I were a newspaper editor, you would be lucky if you saw this drivel between the horoscopes and the classifieds, and even then, below the fold. When even your own liberal-dominated and driven fourth estate pays little to no attention to this inane reparations/mea culpa bilge, what does that tell you? He did get one point right, though. He acknowledged that the apology does nothing to end the (so-called) "gap" in education, health, employment, and a "host of other areas" he neglected to name, most likely because he probably knows they don't exist at all, or for reasons that don't fit his much-desired template of blaming whitey. It is noteworthy that Mr. Harris is a professor at Southern Connecticut State University. As an academic, he should especially know that the "gap" in education is against non-minorities, who do not benefit from special placation and consideration like affirmative actions quotas, and yes, The United Negro College Fund, but we're all against discrimination and all for "diversity," "multi-culturism," and "equality," aren't we, Mr. Harris? Is that why there is no United Caucasian College Fund, or Heaven forbid, a strictly scholastic merit-based admission process in our colleges and universities? Health and education are actually connected by the same answer: the self-destructive black community, where roughly 70% of the homes have no father. Let's start with that problem, and from there, we can move along to truancy, dropping out of school, sexual promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, criminal behavior, and all the various other societal ills that are not only to be expected in and from a broken home of any color, but all but ensure a lifetime of poverty, misery, and despair. That is why blacks cannot get decent jobs, which is also why they cannot afford sufficient healthcare. When your liberal god, President Lyndon Johnson, ushered in "The Great Society," it planted the seed (more like weed) of dependence to government entitlements, which in turn, ushered out fatherhood, and all those government perks still leave poor blacks crying for more, don't they, Mr. Harris? Thank the Democrat Party for that, where it's trademark of so-called "compassion," is defined by "power." Don't blame America, Mr. Harris, blame your America, stupefied, divided, conquered, and yes, "enslaved" by your own people, blacks, Democrats, and all the other numb-brained lemmings, duped by the siren-like mirage called the liberal ideology, the utopian promise that never quite delivers. Blacks caused the black problem, Mr. Harris, and only blacks can fix it. All government can do is usurp common sense laws and redistribute everybody's income toward the whiney faction of the black community, so that they'll feel a little better, but the underlying problem will still exist. Think of giving a hungry baby a pacifier; same principle, it won't nourish him at all, it'll just shut him up for a while. Last but not least, while America also kept slaves, it also freed them long before many other countries around the globe did, including in your precious Africa. And speaking of Africa, it was Joseph Cinque, undoubtedly another one of your heroes, and also of Amistad fame, who not only led the revolt that eventually led to the releases of the Amistad slaves, but later in life, returned back to Africa to supposedly become a slave trader himself. And speaking (again) of lemmings, your favorite town, New Haven, the socialist lemming capital of the world, has erected a statue of this schmuck, which makes about as much sense as the city of New London erecting a statue of Benedict Arnold with a wink and a nod in hopes that nobody recall that he once burned that city all but to the very ground. No, Mr. Harris, I'm not sorry for slavery, and you shouldn't be, either. Those slaves are dead. As you so correctly acknowledged, they can't hear that worthless apology, and it won't bring them back to life, either. Stop whining over the dead that you can't save or help, Mr. Harris. Meanwhile, your liberal minions have butchered 48 million + infants in this country since Roe vs. Wade, and Margaret Sanger is now as dead as the slaves, yet still, unscrupulous doctors carnivorously and cavalierly kill these precious innocents, who are all far more vulnerable than any slave, either adult or child, ever was, and as long as the "mother," for lack of a better term, has the green to pay, these butchers with shingles couldn't care less if their prey is white or black. Stop whining about dead black people you can't help, and try channeling all that wasted energy toward helping the yet to die of any and all colors in America's abortion mills. That is the present stain on America's mostly fine fabric. I'm sure Rosa Parks would vociferously object, but fret not, Mr. Harris. She's dead, too.
