Does the white feminists' campaign add to blacks impediments? I may not be old enough to remember the white woman's first crusades for equality, but I am old enough to see what has resulted from then to now. In their pursuit to allegedly gain equal rights in all areas including job promotions, salaries, and now positions in clubs and organizations headed by men, they have also interfered with things that were set aside for black's socio-economic betterment.

Because of her inherent, cunning, and contemptuous pursuit to create a niche for herself, she has caused the lives of blacks, especially black men, to be as worthless as a condom with a pinhole in it. They often complain they live in a male dominated society, yet historically white men exerting their power have always been for their benefit. The hatred white men have always had for black men, for the most part, was because of her, nothing more.

His fear of the two of them rolling in the hay got black men hung and burned at the stakes. Black men who were determined to keep their distance still had to deal with these women conjuring up charges that left him in questionable situations. Because of her manipulative character, surges of her ability to sway whom she wants at will often affects the flow of things already in play for blacks.

Of course, we all should have right's, but most of her rights were already granted to her, being white and because of the white male. Therefore, any moderation of her rights had to be taken from her by white men, who were her oppressor, before she knew it. But she could have spared herself years of complacency if her conceited nature did not allow her to assume the black woman would be as submissive as the black man would.

So she didn't realized until many generations later, that she had been relieved of her grants to be kept on display to articulate wealth, which only allowed her white counterpart to have a mistress without the need of using discretion.

So, situations like those have only intensified the feminist's pursuit, to where they are trying eternally to show their distaste, by trying to control all the wealth, politics, and social agencies, as they maintain vigilance over everything environmental and in the animal kingdom.

They have no reservation about their involvement in the lives of people all over the planet who need more than simply dealing with their fake pity, as they pull their hair behind their ears over and over again. She lives a double standard by exerting her sexuality as openly and unrestricted as she does her self-indulgence, yet she will use it to punish any male admiring what he sees.

Today, the black male's failure to use an ounce of wisdom, have got him accused or locked up as the only male on this planet who commit sexual offensives. Their daughter's, sashay through life, unrestricted. They follow their lead, develop some of the same superficial characteristics to be eventually scattered out into an environment for any one to prey on them at will.

Although there are some who may not fall into this category, those who do will deny there is any truth to what I am saying. But many things they do are usually without motive. It steers them to often support the wrong issues, defend the wrong people, leaving the innocent to suffer. And to lessen their guilt in the situation, they say it is motivated because of Constitutional integrity.

Some of the foremost advocates fighting for inclusion of Affirmative Action are feminists. Eleanor Smeal, president of the feminists' majority in Washington DC, has determined white women's alleged lack of equality is similar to minorities. They endorse same sex marriages and suggest we should accept it because of a Constitutional right that is also allegedly similar to the civil right's of blacks.

So they are no better than the white male, because they also force themselves into our lives when we challenge what they do to us. They use their right of privilege or play the innocent female who has been mistreated, and the more they whine the faster the problem gets notoriety.

And white men are quick to come to her rescue to stay on her good side, to keep from becoming a victim somewhere down the line. Although the percentage of black families intact are much less than whites, the family and children agencies usually headed by feminists have often failed to follow up on cases that should get more concern.

Because of misinformation, they place black children in foster homes, which will someday, statistically, enter the criminal justice system. Black parents struggling to provide for their children are told they are not doing such a good job and nothing they have done or tried to do for their children, is suitable.

But it only keeps another generation of black children under the watchful eyes of a social system that teaches dependency. So, the importance of why these agencies came about has lost its purpose. The social workers have become nothing more than a policing force for the family courts.

They use them to punish and degrade men as they see fit. Unfortunately, black men fall first. When the subject of deadbeat dads becomes an issue, the system never shows flexibility, they only see black.

When these men go before the judge in family court, they already know they are going to lose. So many feel it is better to be an absconding father then dealing with the ridicule inconsideration and punishment, the courts usually have in store for him. But those who are quick to criticize care nothing about the cause and effect ideology.

Hypothetically, if white males were beaten and killed at will, disgraced in front of their wives and children, funneled in and out of prison for generations and kept from becoming a functioning individual for years because of racial prejudice and hatred, would this be a description of a man who should be well adjusted, responsible, caring and a good example of a father?

But on the flip side, if black men were allowed to make a positive adjustment in his life, without more things being piled on, maybe none of those things would still be an issue today. I am not trying to lessen the importance of equality for any woman, but to show when the white feminine revolutionary feels she has been shortchanged, civil rhetoric and guerrilla tactics, sets the stage for someone to be moved out of the way and sometimes pushed around.

But on a strange note, black women with all the hardships they tell everybody they have in their lives, are joining them. But blacks, who are not afraid to express their opinion, often feel they have shortchanged themselves.

It is not difficult to understand how easy it is for them to be drawn into their movement. Black women have, for some reason, tried to convince the world they are women who are stronger than most, yet they are unhappy. Many are taking sides with their so-called saviors, who are often spin sisters in the media, producers of commercials that suggest female independence, owners of feminine magazines that often show hypothetical conditions of female desolation.

So black women who may not realize how the feminists really prefer to operate also fail to realize their body count is what is important, not their expertise. Unfortunately, their unending humility for anyone's circumstances but their own is what has opened up the opportunity for others to take advantage.

I often stress how prejudice against blacks is more profound than it is against any other so-called minority in this country. Yet black politicians are trying to convince us that we must have some solidarity with other people to show we believe in diversity.

Wealth has cause blacks to misplace their sense of purpose, to where they believe everything is okay. But I often hope for those days to return, when black men and women raised their fists and presented nationalistic language to keep us focused on the real purpose of what civil rights really means.

Unfortunately, there has not been a concerted effort for decades to develop anything that could have gotten us pass the old agendas that we seem to be facing over and over again. We should be long passed Affirmative Action and any other programs that would allow anyone to include themselves.

Blacks have been in this country long enough to have an effect on what is written in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and any other book of laws, to benefit themselves and the future, as much as many who have contributed nothing have done for decades.
