Imagine an urban area where the residents must endure political corruption including political violence, rampant inflation, high unemployment, substandard education, poverty, prostitution, drugs and crime.
No, I’m not talking about New York City, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans or Camden, New Jersey; I am talking about a place dominated by African Americans. I am referencing the African nation of Liberia.
So-called black folks are infamous for their complaints and fallacious accusations of how bad they are treated in America. The myths and outright lies of their origins and life in America are legion, the most recent and without question one of the most grotesque falsehoods pertaining to same being Nikole Hannah-Jones’ “1619 Project.”
It would be remiss of me not to mention James H. Cone, the mouth of Belial whose chief claim to fame is his boasts to be the principle liberation theologian.
Cone insists: “Unlike Europeans who immigrated to this land to escape from tyranny, Africans came in chains to serve a nation of tyrants” (“God of the Oppressed”). Like the rest of the pernicious blowhards of false information used to inflate their standing, the truth differs greatly from Cone’s mythical Kunta Kinte fantasyland.

The truth is that those who are committed to making an industry of prostituting themselves as a crayon color would do well to recognize that the truth is: Nowhere on earth would they have it better than America. America wasn’t responsible for the slave trade, but even if it were, they have prospered beyond anything their ancestors could have hoped had they stayed in Africa.
If and when they embrace that reality, they will realize just how blessed they are to be the de facto modern-day descendants of jungle dwellers captured by other jungle tribes and sold as part of their economy.
