In their zero-sum mentality, the overwhelming majority of blacks can enjoy freedom, prosperity, happiness and even life itself, only at the expense of white slavery, impoverishment, misery and death. Never mind that in reality, left to their own devices, with no whites to terrorize and slaughter (or to keep them in line), blacks terrorize and slaughter each other. They blame that on whites, too: "They makin' us kill each other,"Â as I heard a young, malingering, malcontent black with an unearned promotion say of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Governor George Pataki to an equally racist black friend at Toys'R Us in 1998, when I moonlighted there as a security guard. Interrupted momentarily in his meditations by a greeting in passing from the white store director, who had given the speaker his unearned promotion, the speaker then added to his friend, "They go another one,"Â about his white benefactor.
America was founded based on the notion that my freedom does not preclude your freedom. "Civil rights"Â are the rights of all citizens. The so-called civil rights movement turned that idea upside down: "Civil rights,"Â according to Martin Luther King Jr. and his various black and red comrades and heirs, are privileges that accrue to blacks, based on the color of their skin, and which are thus denied whites for the same reason.
Thus, blacks have First Amendment rights; whites don't. Whites must obey the law, but blacks are under no obligation to do so.
Note, however, that the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, aren't "civil rights"Â in either sense, but "civil liberties,"Â i.e., limitations on the power of the federal government. Much of the Founding Fathers' political genius is codified in the Bill of Rights.
Blacks who believe in MLK-style "civil rights,"Â which is to say, 90 percent or more of the blacks in this country, have no conception of civil liberties, which their belief in a racial zero sum game and their refusal to accept limits on federal power both preclude. (See also my theory of "The Paranoid, Black Supremacist, Jailhouse Philosophy of Law."Â)
