The world is coming apart at the seams. President Obama is making subservient overtures to terrorist-run governments, releasing terrorists from Guantanamo, who, in some cases, have been responsible for the deaths of Americans, and threatening, via executive fiat, to allow possibly millions of illegal aliens to become legal residents of the United States. The Islamists are slaughtering thousands of people who disagree with them, beheading Western journalists, murdering hundreds of children, selling and raping scores of women and making every effort to attain modern weaponry to increase their ability to wreak havoc. A major ISIS leader is “specifically instructing members to kill – without question and by any means necessary – civilians and soldiers in countries including Australia, France, Canada and the U.S.” Iran is still “negotiating” with the U.N. over nuclear power, all the while continuing, under cover, to develop nuclear weapons with which it plans, according to their own propaganda, to annihilate Israel.

Meanwhile, the United (?) Nations is once again increasing pressure on Israel to divide itself and allow the Palestinians (who have vowed to destroy it) to possess almost half the country and split Jerusalem into two capitals. Meanwhile, right on Israel’s doorstep (it’s about 100 miles from Tel Aviv to Damascus), over a million people have been wounded during Syria’s civil war. According to news reports, it is estimated that at least 200,000 people have been killed since 2011.

On the less militant side, Ebola, which some see as a potential worldwide threat, has killed thousands and is still spreading in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Mali. Thankfully, the thousands storming illegally into the U.S. across the Mexico border have not (that we are aware of) brought that plague here, yet. They have, however, brought other diseases new and old, which we had heretofore eradicated in this country.

With all the above (and more) happening in the world in which we live, is there anyone else out there who is as tired as I am of hearing, whenever you turn on the news, the incessant rhetoric of “race” “racism” and “racial issues” supposedly plaguing us in America?

Just this week (again) I saw on TV a full hour devoted to the “black/white race issue” here in America. I was absolutely disgusted by program’s end. Why? Because not one single person on the show presented a shred of factual evidence of bona fide racism to support their allegations. Just one example: I recall the claim by members of the Conservative Black Caucus of being racially harassed by tea party members. If memory serves, Andrew Breitbart’s $100,000 challenge for video of same went unclaimed.

People who have never personally experienced a thing can be easily led astray. The problem, in my view, is relatively simple. If someone doesn’t know what something actually is, almost anything can be substituted.

Take “poverty,” for example. We talk about people in America “living below the poverty line.” But what about real poverty? “Almost one out of every five persons, out of the 1.2 billion men, women and children (in the Third World) live way below the line of poverty; surviving on the equivalent of less than a dollar a day. Half the people in the world are trying, or just manage, to survive below the poverty level of two dollars a day. Around 824 million people go hungry or have a very scarce food supply, while another 500 million of them suffer serious malnutrition.”

Here is the official definition of poverty in America 2012, the most recent year for which data is available: The poverty threshold for a family of four was $23,492. The simple truth is, in America, compared to the real thing, poverty is non-existent.

That same holds true for the charges of racism leveled at America today. The simple truth is, the people screaming the loudest about racism have no idea what the real deal is. If one would like to have just a brief glimpse of what real racism was like, let me suggest my latest book, “Black Yellow Dogs.”

As they say, “Been there, done that” or “Walk a mile in my shoes” – then come back and tell me about the trip
