The
'Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act' was signed into law by
president Barack Obama on March 23rd, 2010. And this was
and is an initiative to help americans gain access to affordable
healthcare in their individual states.
Now, being that this law was backed by president Barack Obama, covert and overt white bigots worked overtime to dismiss and dismantle its credibility, even though it could and has helped a lot of working class whites.
I remember watching an episode of Sean Hannity's show on Fox/Fix news, where he had on three white couples who said that thanks to 'Obamacare', they no longer had health insurance.
But when an MSNBC journalist fact-checked their stories, here's what they found...
white couple number one, had a white man saying 'Obamacare' was destroying his construction business, and he'd fired four employees behind adopting it. Turns out, the man had less than 40 employees, and 'Obamacare' doesn't affect businesses with less than 49 employees. Now, this wicked whiteboi may have been firing employees, but it wasn't due to 'Obamacare'.
Another of these couple's genetically recessive white women, said her healthcare plan was 'terminated' due to 'Obamacare'. Turns out, this white woman's 'Blue Cross' plan was canceled because they were overcharging her; and under the 'Obamacare' initiatives, she could now pay less for a plan that covers everything she had under Blue Cross.
And finally, the third genetically challenged couple, said their healthcare plan was also canceled and they'd have to pay a 75% increase for one under 'Obamacare'. Turns out again, that the couple could get a plan that covers everything their old plan covered for less money under the 'Obamacare exchange'. The reason they didn't know about this plan is because they flat-out refused to look at the Affordable Care Act's website. Simply because it's backed by a Black president.
And isn't it funny how scores of these same white people were literally going bankrupt trying to pay off medical bills under Bush Jr.'s administration, but no 'Teabagger', or no huge swath of white folks, seemed to have a problem with this. Bush Jr. didn't receive a third of the backlash that Obama got behind his healthcare initiatives; but being that Obama's Black, even though his initiatives would save them money, they've still got a problem. And speaking of Bush Jr., could you imagine what would've happened to Obama if the terrorist act the white media called '9/11' and a financial crisis happened under his watch?
And if you're a Black man or woman looking at this, and you're wondering why Obama's not 'down' for his people, let me remind you of one fact...
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, better known as 'JFK', was assassinated on November 23rd, 1963. And in more layman's terms, they damn near blew this man's head off in front of his wife. Now, this was a white president that white fascists liked. That is, they liked him until he didn't fully comply with their agenda to fight a war in Vietnam.
Now, if white fascists would nearly blow the head off one of their own kind, could you imagine what they'd do to Obama if he was really down for us? I mean, for real down for us. They'd have killed him a long time ago.
So what Obama can offer us, is initiatives like the Affordable Healthcare Act, but more importantly, what Obama is giving us is the only thing he really can in this white fascist social order...and that's HOPE. The only other thing Obama can really do for us, is be a symbol of what's possible for our people under the tyrannies of white fascism. Now, if you're saying, is that all he can do? I need you to remember, symbols are very important...just ask a white freemason.
Under the Obama administration, a young Black man can look at him and be inspired to be anything he wants within the confines of white fascism. Now, if our Diaspora wants true freedom and liberation, then we're gonna' have to form our own nation-state either outside, or inside, (preferably outside) this one, to wield any kind of true power.
I'm a 'realist', so I'm keepin' it real...
Moving on...
But in spite of the Obama Healthcare initiatives, for the majority of americans, especially the ones not covered for healthcare benefits by their employers, there's still an out-of-pocket expense for the majority of our medical procedures. But in the overwhelming majority of the other countries of the 'developed' world, complete healthcare coverage is a right, not a privilege. Meaning, most of the developed world's countries have adopted a 'universal' healthcare system. And under these systems, 100% healthcare coverage is literally a birthright for all its citizens.
Now, the taxes we pay, or should I say, that working class and poor americans pay, would more than cover the cost of any aggregate medical procedures this country's citizens would need in a lifetime. So the question stands: why doesn't america adopt a universal healthcare system? For years I've wondered why america seemed to be the only hold-out for this kind of medical paradigm in the 'developed' world; but in the last few years, I finally figured out why...
On August 6th, 1964, the american government dropped an atom bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.
And on August 9th, 1964, the american government dropped an atom bomb on the city of Nagasaki, Japan.
And to this day, america represents the only country that used a nuclear weapon...twice. So this in essence, put the world on notice that america was officially, the baddest bully on the global block. Or to put it in even more layman's terms, america's been slated to be the 'enforcer' for the western powers.
Now, I remember the actor Johnny Depp said of america, that this country was like, “...a big, dumb puppy.” So I'm gonna' piggyback on his analogy...but I'll flip it a different way. I'll liken america to a muscular Pit bull that's been bred for fighting.
Now, if you're the owner of a prizefighting Pit bull, do you think you'd spend unlimited amounts of money on etiquette classes for your dog? Or would you have it drinking the purest, most expensive waters and eating gourmet foods? And do you think you'd have it living in plush, opulent housing?
Of course not.
You'd make sure this dog never saw any kind of etiquette class; you'd give it the worst foods to eat, matter of fact, you'd probably put gun-powder in its food to make it more irritable, and you'd keep this dog living in complete squalor. Also, you'd make sure the dog's decrepit living conditions were embedded in an environment that was tension-filled, so that dog would always be ready to fight. And these are the kinds of conditions the overwhelming majority of working class and poor americans are kept in.
Now you might be thinking, c'mon bruh, you're grossly exaggerating what the living conditions of the average american look like. If you think so, then let's do another comparative analysis of this Pit bull's life, and the life of the average poor or working class person in america.
Let's talk first about the state of public education in america. The average american classroom for a child from a poor or working family is usually comprised of 40 to 50 kids and one underpaid teacher. And in most cases, this teacher is both poorly trained and/or indifferent to whether these kids learn or not; and this doesn't take into account how overwhelmed this person might feel with the task of teaching so many children. And these facts result in stats like this: according to a study done by the 'Huffington Post', 32 million adults in america can't read. That's 14% of this country's population. 21% of american adults read below the fifth grade level, and 19% of high school graduates are illiterate. Mind you, this is america we're talking about, not Calcutta, India.
Now you might be saying, these stats only pertain to people who can't pay for their children's schooling.
Okay, so let's talk about the type of schooling almost every person will have to pay for, a college education.
Now, when I did some research on collegiate education costs here and abroad, this is what I found...
According to the 'Eurydice database', and Eurydice is an international education database developed by the European Commission and Member States of the European Union; the cost for a public college's bachelors degree program in Paris, France is 188.10 Euros per year. And in american dollars, this comes out to $199.68 PER YEAR!
Now, Second cycle or masters degree programs in Paris, France cost 259.10 Euros per year; which comes out to $275.05 dollars; and Third cycle degrees or PHD/doctorate programs cost 393.10 Euros per year, or $417.30 dollars. And this amount was based on fees for the 2013/2014 academic year.
So let's compare this to the average cost of a public college education in america.
In its most recent survey of college pricing, the American College Board reports that a 'moderate' collegiate tuition for the 2015/2016 academic year averaged $24,061. A moderate tuition at a private college averaged $47,831.
Now as far as the american government saying they want the masses of their citizens to have a college education is concerned, these numbers speak for themselves.
Now, let's talk about this Pit bull's diet, and the diet of the average american citizen. Before I make any comments on this, I'd like to say that ultimately, a person's diet is comprised of foods that they themselves choose to eat. But what I wanna' comment more on here, are food ingredients that the average american doesn't have direct control over putting into their diet. For instance, the average american would be hard-pressed to go to their cupboards or refrigerator and find one or two items that didn't have high fructose corn syrup in them.
Conversely, high fructose corn syrup is under such tight restrictions in europe, that it's nearly banned in their country.
And what are some of the most common side effects of ingesting large amounts of high fructose corn syrup? Obesity, Diabetes, an increaesed risk of heart attack and disease, anemia, poor immunity, etc.
Now, as far as the Pit bull living in a 'tension-filled' environment as compared to the average american citizen is concerned, to see this, all you'd have to do is look at the amount of deadly weapons americans are in possession of. Overall, the u.s. has the highest gun ownership rate in the world according to the 'Washington Post'; and the u.s. also has the highest homicide-by-firearm rate among the world’s most developed nations. Roughly 67.5 percent of homicides in the U.S. are committed using guns, accounting for 9,960 total homicides by them.
And I won't even talk about the amounts of ethnic strife, or what whitey calls 'racism' there is in this country. I don't use the word 'racism' 'cause there's only one 'race', that's the human race...what white media's really referring to in these instances is 'ethnicity'. But when you see white thrill-kill cops shooting down young Black men every other day, and how we're called crazy when our Diaspora protest or revolt against this, you'll quickly see how invested this government is in keeping it's citizens fighting amongst each other, and how this contributes to keeping working class and poor americans pugnacious and battle-ready...just like the prizefighting Pit bull.
Now, the other analogy I'll draw is one between america's hostile state of being, and the state of Black americans who are kept in a white fascist induced self-hatred. And again, Black people are kept hating themselves more than any other kind of person, cause we have the most genetic power to breed whitey out of existence.
In regards to this, I'll tell every Black man and woman that the last place you're gonna' find out the truth about america, is in america. You have to come up out of it, at least mentally, to get an objective view of what's really going on in this country. The same goes for our Diaspora's white fascist induced self-hatred, meaning the last place you're gonna' find out the truth about this self-hatred, is in that self-hatred...you have to come up out of it mentally, to be able to look at it objectively, so you can ultimately get rid of it.
Now, if you're a Black man or woman reading this who doesn't endeavor to do that, I hope you understand that you'll ultimately be consumed by this self-hatred, and as a result, you'll be kept despising yourself and everyone who looks like you 'til the day you die.
'Cause the goal of white fascism is to destroy Black people, thus completely destroying the Black 'nuclear' family.
Furthermore, I want every Black man and woman reading this to understand that there's nothing natural about Black men and women hating each other.
EVERYTHING about that dysfunction, and every other dysfunction displayed in the Black community, has its roots in how white fascists conditioned us to hate ourselves.
So like I keep saying, and will continue to say, we got work to do.
Now, if you truly want to change, there's myriad techniques to employ that will help us do this at the subconscious level, but if you're not ready to go there, it's imperative that you at least grasp the above concept. 'Cause if you can do that, as a Black man or woman, you can begin to see yourself and every member of the opposite sex with a more empathetic and loving eye.
Now, I'm not saying you'll get along with every Black person you meet, that's impossible, but you individually getting up out of your conditioned self-hatred is the fastest way for us to save the Black family.
And in that endeavor, there's not a moment to spare.
