What's Bugging Me Today...

Disturbing me today is Glenn Beck's comment that the Palestinians today are like Afican-Americans. The African-Americans and the Palestinians chose negative and dishonest leaders and are confused as to why they are not getting ahead. What????? This guy is making generalizations without true facts to back them up.
First, let me say this: The Palestinians of today are in serious, serious straights. Originally nomads under the Ottoman Empire, these are a people who never really EVER had a home land. (Most African-American ancestors were TAKEN from theirs!) It has only been in recent decades have the Palestinians even needed a homeland. Economics and education play key roles in modern society, making a center of government for any ethnicity not only important, but neccessary.
Secondly, African-Americans can only boast of turmoil (slavery and lack of any civil rights) for less than two centuries on North American soil. Not so true of the Palestinians. The struggle for land is less than 70 years old. Zionism, fueled by guilt-ridden anglos and (my favorite) the United Nations, has propelled this situation to such grotesque depths. African-Americans have struggled and even been forced to violence, but have overcome so much in our country. The Palestinians have not been so lucky.
Are our black leaders in America negative? In a free society, there is bound to be your Farahkahns and Jacksons. But what about Malcom X and Martin Luther King, Jr.? Recently, Barak Obama and Bill Cosby? On college campuses, I see shining examples of black leadership in the form of professors and doctors. These are the TRUE leaders of the African-American society! Why? Because they have a home here, we educate them and we have made sure that discrimination is illegal! What chance does a Palestinian child have in this world? Not a good one! Arafat was an evil man; but we must ask why. Did he start out as a terrorist or was he groomed to fight an unfair battle? (Please don't think I am pro-Arafat.) Why are missionaries walking Palestinian children to school everyday so they are not shot by Israeli soldiers? When is the UN ever going to make it right?
Glenn Beck did not have my respect in the beginning and now he just makes me want to vomit! He is in the same league as Ann Cuntler: Uneducated and brash, with a media spolight! The Devil might wear Prada, but he also wears a mic and has a CNN contract!
