The other day I posted a link where you could download the full House version of Barack Obama’s proposed Universal Health Care Reform bill. After tracking the downloads I noted that only 17 of you downloaded the bill for review. Not 17% — 17 downloads total!
That’s a shame because it provides the bigots with more fuel to call us lazy and ignorant. The joke goes: if you want to hide something from black people, put it in a book.
So for the benefit of those of you who choose to go through life with blinders on, I will shine some light on sections of the bill that I feel will impact our community the most. Please remember that Obama himself has not read the bill, and has never read a bill before he signs it.
Chuck Norris (yes, that Chuck Norris) blogged about a section of the bill (Page 838) that he found particularly disturbing. The provision titled “home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children” would send “experts” into your home to “train” and educate you on child behavior and parenting skills.
While Norris has reason to be concerned about strangers evaluating his parenting skills, the program specifically targets the black community. After all, our community has the highest rate of poverty, out-of-wedlock childbirth and black-on-black crime that can be directly traced back to single-parent homes headed by black women.
On Page 840, the bill specifically targets “communities that are in high need of such services, especially communities with a high proportion of low-income families.” That doesn’t sound like Chuck Norris’ neighborhood to me.
On the one hand, Socialized medicine sounds idealistic, but on the other hand, it’s shaping up to be an Orwellian nightmare that could lead to population control of the black community.
Norris terms these services “discriminatory and even prejudicial stereotype and generalization that has no place in federal government, law or practice,” and he wonders if the “education” will entail religious teachings as well.
Welcome to the New World Order kids! This is the Hope and Change you voted for.
