Butting heads for upward mobility

November 19, 2013

A United Negro Fund motto is: A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste. When it comes to U.S. statism's evil against minorities, it might be phrased: A minority mind is a thing we've wasted. And such a shame with the U.S. uncompetitive and at the brink of a financial failure. Just think of all the innovative ideas and products that could have been contributed by minorities. Instead, avenues for social and financial upward mobility were, among other things in the entertainment industry, boxing, and football. Both have an objective of punishing the opponent's body and head to the point of rendering them unconscious. These modern day gladiators are often draw from the ranks of the modern day slave class, the minorities. U.S. statism also promotes and encourages viewership of these sports to redirect the public minds from the evils that they are plotting and undertaking. Take for instance during the George W. Bush's administration, while Iraqi water supplies, sewage, and electricity, roads and infrastructures were being bombed and destroyed, American sports fans, live by satellite, were privileged to see their U.S. troops in Iraq having Thanksgiving Dinner while watching the game. Only recently have reports of the aftereffects of the intense damage football inflicts on the human brain surfaced as an issue. How many people would like to earn a six figure income for about five to ten years of their early adulthood only to come down with terminal cancer in their forties? None that I know of. Yet a terminal or debilitating condition awaits many players 20 years down the road. U.S. statism has been cruel to minorities. Doors closed in corporate, free enterprise, and entrepreneurial markets, minorities were channeled, like lab rats, down a well defined corridor of paths that included the mentioned sports, soldiering, show business, laborers, low level clerical positions, and dead end fast food restaurant work. With the weakening of the U.S. state as result of financial debt, more and more calls are coming from the free marketplace for minorities mental resources for solving problems left unsolved for too long. President Obama's statesmanship and oratory skills is an inspiration to blacks and marks a period that the time has come for minorities to answer the call for higher service and contribution to society. So no longer will minorities have to bang heads, be cannon fodder, or waste away at a greasy fast food counters taking and preparing mindless orders for fast food patrons. Decline of the state is good because it means freedom from the path that leads to most certain brain injury...because "a mind is a terrible thing to waste."
