American Corporations Create Over A Million Jobs…

Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

(ThyBlackMan.com) I want to borrow a line from a Curtis Mayfield song: “Pardon me brother while you bask in your glory, I hope you don”t mind if I tell the whole story“

The USA is one of the most prolific exporting Industrial nation’s in the history of the modern world. To rise to that status it took a force of tens of millions of skilled and semi-skilled workers, providing the resources in support of exporting goods and services produced here in the USA. Everyday US

corporations are createing hundreds of jobs, opening factories, developing technologies and creating middle-class opportunities.

So, if you think US corporation are not hiring, you are dead wrong. In 2010 US corporations produced 1.5 million jobs, those jobs just happened to be overseas. These companies had help from Pres. George W. Bush’s temporary cuts, and Pres. Barack Obama extending those cuts. The entent of those tax cuts was to allow those corporations to reinvest in the company hopefully expanding job opportunities. That exactly what Caterpillar did, half of there new heirs were in foreign countries. At one time Caterpillar manufactured large construction equipment, bulldozers and tractors, here in the USA and sold around the world.

DuPont started as a chemical company during the revolutionary war and grew here in the USA, but in the last 10 years has cut its workforce in the USA and increased its Asia-Pacific workforce. DuPont now does not consider itself to be an American company, one of it’s top officers has stated the “ We are a global player” . Yes they are.

There are hundreds of corporations abandoning this country for foreign shores and taking our middle-class jobs with them. Some familiar names that have left our shores are Coca-Cola, Dell and IBM. Try buying a house whole appliance, television, automobile tires or a pair of shoes and you’ll see where the middle-class jobs we once had have gone. Sure, They keep their headquarters and their top executives here in the USA, so they can continue to enjoy all that America has to offer.

Pres. Calvin Coolidge was fond of saying “What’s good for business is good for America“. As if that was not self serving enough, today’s narcissistic CEOs are declaring “What’s good for business is good for business, America be damned“

If you still don’t believe the middle class in under attack, take a look at what is going on in Wisconsin and Ohio, to see the game plan for the attack on middle-class America. Look at the Supreme Courts, Citizens United ruling. Buy American if you can.

Why Can’t We Stay Together: We as Black people boast about how much pride we have and how we are so prideful of the accomplishments of blacks (Sports,Media,Politics,Entertainment,Etc) in general. Yet, we jump off the bandwagon as soon as controversy crops up concerning one of these high profile prides. I’m not talking about controversy in the nature of crime, none of us hopefully uphold any type of crime committed.

We bash our one and most likely only Black President we’ll ever have, 1) because we expect him to do the impossible as a first term President in office, and 2) out of ignorance of the Office itself we don’t understand or want to understand how it works. Any first term President has to deal with the mess his predecessor ( Mr Bush) has left behind before he can even begin to implement all if any of his campaign promises in those four years. Most if not all Presidents were able to put into affect their agenda, if reelected for a second term. But, not only we as Black people are doing everything to make sure President Obama does not get to affect what he has promised, we are helping the TeaParty and the rest of the hate mongers (whites and others) carryout their bid of no second term afforded a Black President.

Many of the same Whites who contributed funds and voted him in office are now jumping ship, why? It’s not because he’s not able to represent this Country on the World stage, it’s not because his agenda does not meet the needs of the Citizens. He said and did the right things to acquire the Oval office, it was acclaimed around the world, and most notably because he is a Black man in America with its history of racism known throughout the World. So, we Blacks do just what this racism has caused us to do for the better part of 4 to 5 hundred years , we down each other after we have given altitudes of praise.

In other words, we end fight. We let those that have empowered us to a degree, that we approved of what they say about us by slandering each other. We have some Black elites who are held in high esteem by many in main stream media squabbling over weather Blacks are getting a fair shake and jobs from the President. The President has no jobs to give and he himself is not getting a fair shake. The Major Corporations control the jobs, why do think most of them are overseas ? The Congress control the purse strings, not President Obama; If they don’t approve of his agenda guess what, no money!!!

That is and has been the case. In light of the current mindset, unfortunately ours has and is driven by the system , President Obama will not get reelected. Everything that is being done within the system is geared to make sure that no Black Man will be elected ever again! The fair minded Whites of this Races Country are paying the penalty for allowing this to have happened on their watch.

The Power Elite is making sure this mistake will not be repeated in the future. President Lincoln when meeting with the Back to Africa Movement and prior to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, informed that committee of Black people that they were in process of doing a wonderful thing. Wonderful for them as Blacks, because they could never be accepted as full citizens of these United States, we can never see you as equals. Lincoln spoke the truth as has been attested to by the history of this country. Oh!, you can google it, it’s in black and white.

Gods mercy has overshadowed us as a people and will. Knowing how others feel about us, Why Can’t We Stay Together !

P.S. Jim Brown (formally of Cleveland Browns) said it best when people were in two different camps concerning following Martin L. King, Malcum X or Farricon, “we need to be about whatever we got going for us”. If I miss quoted forgive me, i know it’s close and I hope you get the message.

I appreciate your columns. You are right on. However, you need a good proofreader to review before posting. Some people can’t see beyond the typos to appreciate the message. This lessens your impact.

Thank you for all you so.
