True dat. We point out that the beasts among white people did all this to us, which is wholly accurate. But, it doesn't serve to change our current condition for the better. Hating, and judging, white people has become an addictive behavior of ours which distracts us from fixing us.
Our celebration of the Buffalo Soldiers is just one of many indications of our addiction to self-destruction. We hold up as heros black people who did the same thing to other non-white people that white people did to us.
Hence, we support a black man, Obama, who is wholly commited to the War on Terror -- even though we know it is really a war against non-european oil-producing countries.
And, before Obama, we held up Colin Powell as a hero. As with Obama, many of us entertained thoughts of Powell becoming the first black POTUS. This, even though Powell's claim to fame was that he helped white people kill Asians during the Vietnam War and then went on to help white people kill Arabs during Papa Bush's war against Iraq.
