Speaking Your Mind As A Second Language

Today the San Francisco Chronicle carried yet again the bleak facts of black children who are born into poverty. It was based on the recently released report by the Alameda County Public Health Department. The black child would probably have been born prematurely versus his white counterpart. As an adult the black was more prone to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke and would probably die 15 years sooner than a white .

Since the 1960s and the Civil Rights movement, people in America have had to practice the charade of " all are equal". It was more than just a casual observance. One could get sued or pilloried as politically incorrect for failure to fall in line. Well the charade has been going on for such a long time that later generations have been so dumbed down by this "all are equal" mantra that many, too many actually believe it! So when facts about the above black child are documented, these dumb people look for others to blame. They blame prejudice, neighborhoods, income differences, schools, books, landfills etc. ad nauseam.

Well how about denying this lie of equality? How about saying "all are known by their differences"? Some are smarter, some work harder, some dont get diabetes , strokes etc. because they eat good food and exercise regularly. In the case of the above black child, he was " born into poverty". Why did his moronic parents have additional children ?

Everyone should at least once a day practice speaking one's mind. Maybe if we all do that often enough we can get critical thinking and speaking from a second language to mainstream.
