I was going over some video clips that were on my hard drive that I uploaded here to determine what I could keep and what I should delete to free up some space and I came across several clips of the Jeremiah Wright vomit, and the father Fagler puke, some Louis Farrakhan crap, some of that militant New Black Panther Party bull and suddenly it struck me.

Not all, but many African-Americans talk about reparations. They talk about being entitled to compensation for the suffering endured by their ancestors in the first centuries of our great nation.

Yes, they were wronged by White American Men.

Yes, White American Men did horrible things to them.

Yes, they were wrongfully bought, sold, and traded as personal property by White American Men.

Yes, yes, yes.

But you know what? I know of about 2.5 million white American men that took up arms and became willing to shed their blood to free enslaved African-Americans from the bondage they suffered.

I know of 360,000 soldiers, members of the Union Army, who fought and died on the battlefields that took more American lives than all of our wars combined. Of those 360,000 Union Army soldiers that fought, bled, and died to help end the injustices perpetuated upon Black America, many were Black, yes…40,000 Black Union Soldiers died in that war.

So did 320,000 white American Men.

For every Black Man that paid the ultimate price to free the slaves, there were eight…8…eight white men bleeding and dying with him.

I would respectfully ask that many African-Americans so angry at “Whitey” consider those numbers.

Deeply consider those numbers.

That is 80 times…eighty times…80x…80 times the number of American troops that gave their lives in the Iraq War over the last 5 years.

80 Iraqs to free the Black Man.

During the civil rights movement, there was no casualty count as one might find in the record books of America’s War History. But there were many many many White people who marched, who protested, who petitioned, who voted, who locked arms with Black Men…and women, in the struggle to say to our fellow Americans of African descent: “You are an American, equal to me.”

Equal opportunity. Indisputable. Even beyond equal, at times, when you consider some extreme uses of Affirmative Action.

So I just want to know why the African-American preachers like Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan have never, to my knowledge, acknowledged the 320,000 White American Men who fought, bled, and died for their freedom from slavery.

What about them? I bet most of you didn’t even know that particular number before reading it just now, or you had learned it so long ago it had been forgotten. Or maybe you did know it. I didn’t.

I do now.

320,000 White American Men died for the Black Man’s Freedom.

320,000 WHITE AMERICAN MEN DIED FOR THE BLACK MAN’s FREEDOM.

320,000 White American Men.

80 Iraqs.

215,000 gallons of White American Male blood.
