Confronted

Dear JD...

I just had our company security guard--who is Black--challenge me in our lobby (in front of an HR representative!) on why I am not in agreement with the election of our new President, and why I ever was a Bush supporter!!

He wouldn't back down, as eloquently as I tried to defend my decisions and opinions without lambasting him with the opinions of him that were coming to the forefront of my mind... (I held back. You'd all be proud. My teammates were.)

He loudly carried on and on about his dislike and disdain for President Bush and his brother Jeb. He declared this "Happy no more Bush day" right in front of 3 of my co-workers (which included the HR rep)--and was shocked I disagreed! I felt a bit bullied.

Claiming to have have an unfavorable military experience while Bush was Commander in Chief, either he knows I am one of the few (3%) Black Americans who is Conservative and republican-leaning--so he openly taunted me to get my reaction; or he truly supports his own point of view and was willing to take the risk of offending me in front of Human Resources, our supposed first line of defense for personnel conflicts.

But will what he did to me be considered a "reprimandable offense", as I've seen so many of 'us' (often labeled the "politically incorrect" crowd) remaining cautious of--watching every word, gesture, or joke we make, to ensure we are not "offending" someone? Or am I to just "let it slide...", "take it as a joke"..., or worse--be made to feel I deserved that because my views differ?

AND 'WE' ARE SUPPOSE TO START PLAYING NICE TO THIS CROWD THAT NEVER HAS BEEN SO THEMSELVES?!

I started a new Blog last year. It was pretty coarse. I wasn't nice to Black Americans like him...all 97% of them; nor White apologists for that matter. I was pretty poignant about my stand on Illegal immigration, and the Hispanic opinion of Barack Obama... And now I don't regret it.

This kind of ridicule coming from liberal leftists and Blacks is only going to continue--not end--just because Obama was elected. I know I should be "nice", but I am just not ready.

I am going to revamp my Blog--and will find a way to stay "above them" and confrontations like this. It is publicly and openly known I am a Conservative, Black American who has challenged the Black status quo for years, to the exclusion of friends, family, pastor and fellow parishioners, teachers, and anyone else who wishes to continue pushing these old, tired, negative opinions of the USA, all Whites as evil, and decrying anyone else not liberal like they are to be mad, bad, or crazy--as was done to me.

Their direction (liberalism, socialism) is not going to solve any problems in this country; it is not going to solve the self-esteem problem I declare is the root-cause of Black and Hispanic dependence on big government, as they look to the government to legislate how to create a happy life for themselves!

As the callers on JD's show last night noted (including myself), so many Blacks and Whites just must be "stuck in the '60s..." continuing to look back rather than look current at how far race-relations have come over just the past 50 years; long before Barack Obama--and in spite thereof.

Well, despite it's historical strife I remain positive-minded and absolutely in-love with America; and give credit to see the amazing works and progress of true leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., my parent;s generation--who fought the fight with him, and the 50% of us who know America is truly a great country despite what the media, liberals, and Democratic Congress and Senate continue to say.

I happened to have always loved this country, Honorable First Lady Michelle...

And no one will bully me into changing my opinion.
