Part 1: Undermining Black employment
By Frosty Wooldridge
Each week, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, majority leaders of the U.S. House and Senate of the United States—shout grandiose proclamations about their efforts to make work, housing and education better for all Americans.
Unfortunately, for the past 20 years, both individuals failed Black America. Reid and Pelosi encouraged, without batting an eye, the slave labor invasion from Mexico. Both voted for insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring of jobs that displaced and undermined millions of Black Americans. Both watched Chinese manufacturing usurp American jobs in steel, auto and, welding and ancillary jobs attached to Detroit, former “Automobile Capitol of the World.”
Yes, Reid gave us Wal-Mart with 90 percent Chinese products that put the Chinese to work, but cut the throats of American workers. Every time you save money at Wal-Mart, you put thousands of U.S. workers in unemployment lines—that includes millions of Blacks.
As a college student in Michigan, I witnessed the Detroit riots in 1967 that burned much of the Black inner-city into cinders. The riots in Watts illustrated seething anger among Blacks. The U.S. Army drafted millions of poor blacks to fight in Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Vietnam War. Tens of thousands died without a clue as to why they departed this life so early. Dr. Martin Luther King tried to bring equality for people of color and stop ‘separate but equal’ drinking fountains and restaurants.
Johnson engineered the “Great Society” in order to give Blacks a chance at the American Dream. Schools upgraded, scholarships flourished, and even Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole could eat and stay in the same hotel as whites. Top Black athletes commanded millions of dollars in sports and Black entertainers became millionaires like the Supremes, Richard Pryor and Sammy Davis, Jr.
With the power of the auto industry and manufacturing, Blacks entered—in greater numbers—the middle class of America through the 70s and 80s.
But in the 90s, something happened. Tyson Foods, Hormel, McDonald’s, Swift, Amour and dozens of companies found they could undermine and undercut wages of America’s working poor by adding unlawful immigrant workers. At first, a trickle, but soon, a deluge! Bush I winked. Clinton nodded. Bush II declared, “But they do the jobs that Americans won’t do!”
Today, Detroit suffers 76 percent dropout/flunkout rate from high schools according to NBC’s Brian Williams. Similar rates apply all over America. Jobs for Blacks dwindle as America’s manufacturing base, supported by Pelosi and Reid, offshores to other countries. Black teens cannot find a ‘fast food’ job to save their lives.
But unlawful Mexican workers can! Drugs and pregnant teen mothers explode. The Black prison population in America stands as a national disgrace.
While we blow up Iraq and Afghanistan, every day for the past eight years, at a current expenditure of $667 billion, our own citizens languish in hopelessness. A phenomenal 32.2 million Americans subsist on food stamps. Can anyone imagine what that kind of money would do for job training?
All the while, Reid and Pelosi support 20 million unlawful immigrants and unlawful workers in this country—at the expense of America’s Black citizens. Neither of those two ranking politicians represents the rule of law, but in fact, both continue to undermine Black America.
In a recent article, Roy Beck, “Moon Landing, Milton Berle, Soup Kitchens and Lost Dreams” 7/20/09, said, “Forty years ago this morning, I was visiting with Milton Berle in his hotel room near Grand Rapids, Michigan, sharing our reactions to watching the moon landing in the middle of the night. That evening, we met again over a giant bowl of potato salad at a backyard picnic as Congressman Gerald Ford dipped along with us and excitedly recounted his phone call from Nixon minutes after the moon walk.
“This is why kids aspire to be news reporters. You never know what you might be doing when something big happens. The moon landing inspired big dreams in lots of people. The year 1969 for my emerging generation was a time of big dreams about a world at peace, the end to racial conflict and disparities in America, and the beginning of a sustainable lifestyle. If we could put a man on the moon after only a decade of work, why couldn't we achieve these other goals?
“That was a summer when I donned riot gear to accompany police during a few nights of race riots. The northern ghettos of the Black underclass no longer were content with promises; they wanted full access to the middle-class economy.”
TODAY'S ABANDONED BLACK UNDERCLASS
“Waking up to NPR's report on the 40th anniversary this morning, I instantly felt myself back in that time, and thinking about what I thought the United States would be like by now,” Beck said. “It wasn't the U.S. that I know today. Once again this weekend, Shirley and I spent several hours at a soup kitchen, assisting 250 people in our community for whom the dreams of 1969 have not happened. As usual, most of the recipients of a meal, groceries and bus passes were Black Americans both recently and chronically out of the labor force. Nobody has been more devastated by federal policies of flooding the labor market with foreign workers than Black Americans. Their unemployment rates are through the roof.
“Visiting with them for hours Saturday, we couldn't conjure much hope at all that their lives had a chance of being transformed by a job. As I have said repeatedly for 20 years, there are many key ingredients to why the Black underclass has remained so large, but one of the most important has been congressional insistence at blocking their participation in the labor force by substituting foreign workers.”
IMMIGRATION GROWTH DEVOURING MILLIONS OF ACRES
“There are many reasons for this continuing rape of our nation's natural heritage, but the most important one is that federal immigration policies have mandated massive, unrelenting growth,” Beck said. “About 40 years ago, Nixon suggested at the time the country's population reached 200 million that we might do well not to add more.”
Beck added, “Anniversaries can be sad reminders of how badly we've screwed up. The Baby Boom generation with all of our high ideals has let environmental sustainability and racial egalitarianism slip from our grasp because as a whole we have never confronted the insistence of Big Business and Big Government for unrelenting immigration.”
Today, our Black President Obama, Pelosi and Reid propose, not only to grant amnesty to 20 million unlawful immigrants that will further decay Black American jobs, but the all voted to double legal immigration from 1.2 million to 2.4 million annually (June vote S. 1639, 2007).
Thus, Black America faces an uncertain future.
Part II: Social, housing, medical implications for Blacks.

A Letter to the President
Mr. President Barack Hussein Obama,
I have never been so appalled at the circus of hooligans presiding in Washington as I am today. If there has ever been a more lying, thieving, deceiving, calculating, and amoral bunch of criminals as you have now assembled today in American Government I would be most pleasantly surprised.
I’m sure those screening this mail for you won’t be surprised at my statement either as I’m sure you get a lot of this now-a- days, but please don’t disregard or misconstrue my remark as disrespectful, conservative, or terroristic, you know every bit and more than I, this is the truth.
I’m concerned there are just no boundaries for politicians, their cronies, their mistresses and bedfellows, or their wealthy elitist hierarchy, who pull the strings.
I thoroughly believe Washington is infested beyond all the general public’s imaginings the proof of which is your audacity of Hope.
What you hoped for, for America is becoming even more oblivious to an ever growing number of our population a well as many nations about the world who mock and jest at the flounderings of our flailing-unprincipled- adolescent leadership as they calculatingly pump out both mind-boggling and eye-popping, reams of band-aided, illogical, non-commemorative, documentational rhetoric encapsulating non-conceivable Bills which can only further confuse the already confused which includes both the left and the right leadership and gives new perspective to that old adage, ”the Blind leading the Blind!”
Interestingly, when “We the People” attempt to comment or ask questions online in your open forum or ‘Town Hall’ meetings, we are limited to just 2000 characters. I feel your stimulus package and your health plan should have to abide by the same guidelines. Fair-is-fair, right?
You claim you’re committed to creating the most open and accessible administration in American history, yet after watching Chip Reid and Helen Thomas getting nowhere with disrespectful, Robert Gibbs in an effort to ask you to comply to a true open forum and actually answer unscreened questions from the public, I doubt “We The American People,” are going to hold out for much of anything responsible from your ignoramic-plundering-plight in office.
I am now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt there is a feverish, unscrupulously hording, power-hungry, diuretic-disease in Washington, that defies any economic, environmental, voodoo antidote and We the People are seeking a miracle with which to fumigate all government entities from these plagued rats to our society.
You are not the Pied Piper but with each passing day, you seem to more resemble the Emperors New Clothes; we shall waste little time replacing you along with all corrupted public officials and dismiss each of you without pension as you’ve stolen from the people for the last time.
I was raised in a family of Christian farmers and educators. We’ve always worked, studied and prayed hard. I hoed sugar beets, irrigated and tended younger siblings as a child; I graduated from High school and got an Associate degree but lack of money encouraged me to go into the working-force since I was not privy to any government minority handouts due to the fact that my ancestor’s skin was white rather than red, brown, yellow or black. My husband and I have struggled raising 11 children, our oldest is 35 now but our youngest just turned 13. We have a daughter and son-in-law who have been serving in the US Navy nearly ten years. Five of our children are married and struggling to support our 13 grand-children. (One of our daughters has four little girls. Her husband was diagnosed with a life threatening disease. Our strong, entrepreneurial-minded, hard working, successful, charitable, loving, son-in-law, was the sole supporter of his young family but he now has the innocent mind of a youngster, has lost his job, his driver’s license and pride. Our daughter has no-way of supporting her husband, herself, and their four children. Hers is a full-time parenting/counselor and nursing position. Her entire family is White and not privy to handouts either but this is still no reason to support your horrific health-care plan.
At 56 years of age, I won’t pretend to have the answers but this much I do know:
There is more oil stockpiled today than ever before and still it cost $70.00 a barrel.
Your administration is still trying to cram global warming down our throats.
You continue to abort the future heirs to our nation, while trying to justify your fear of the added expense (food, energy, healthcare, education and social security) to the nation if they were allowed to be born with a Right to Choose and Stem-cell Research; if that’s not enough you’re taking our tax dollars to help finance abortions in other countries.
Our boarders are still wide open.
You’ve turned your eyes away from the terrorists to the American people.
You say we should tighten our belts yet you spend our tax dollars frivolously on very expensive dinner dates and other non-essentials.
Your drastic “yes we can” changes have resulted in more people than ever before being out of work, which in turn has escalated domestic problems to an all-time-high as people struggle to feed their families.
Our government has borrowed way too much from China.
Barney Frank is a liar and a crook as well as Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and Acorn.
Government takeovers in the auto industry and now the healthcare industry are uncalled for and threaten the very foundation of free enterprise and life as we have enjoyed it here in America.
Your control of the media is an abominable childish ploy that’s more irritating then practical and your disrespect of women, the handicapped, and our service men is intolerable.
I know you were provided a great education, and you’re a good reader when the teleprompter works but I feel your ability to comprehend may be seriously lacking.
Margret Thatcher said:
”The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”
Right now your presidency more resembles Bob Barker in the Price is Right rather than The Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free.
Appease us:
Why does it take three law firms to keep your real birth records sealed?
Why did you drop the charges against the top Al Qaeda operative over the Persian Gulf Al-Nashiri who confessed to killing 17 of our US Servicemen?
Why did you bow?
Honestly, (National Counsel of Laraza member), Sotomayor?
Right-Wing Extremists! -- what say you Barry?
Respectfully,
The Iron Yak/A White, Christian, American Mom
PS. I am going to be very open with my comments to you by sending copies of this letter to all of the following: My Congressman, The New York Times, USA Today, News Week, Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, Readers Digest, National Enquirer, You Tube, etc. etc. etc.

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.
Lee Iacocca Says:
'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course.'
Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the ' America ' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?
I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis ! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.
On September 11, 2001 , we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.
We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.
We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.
We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.
Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble.
Our borders are like sieves.
The middle class is being squeezed every which way.
These are times that cry out for leadership.
But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?
We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.
Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm.
Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it?
Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.
I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on CNN will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?
Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11.
If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe in America '. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell'em all we've had 'enough.'
Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about.. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!
