======================================

USA - House of Representative and Senate - September 8, 2011

"The Help" is a movie that addresses the great "divider", "conductor" and disfranchiser: Discrimination.

I would suggest that Minnie, the African American Maid, strikes the nail on the head when she corrects a statement by one of the Caucasian women, "Oh Minnie, I 'm going to give you a paid vacation" - the truth is what Minnie says, "I ain't never had a paid vacation in my life".

The Culture
For many or MOST of the members of the United States Senate and House of Representative that are of the age bracket of the 1960's, they benefitted BIG TIME just as the movie states and implies - so have their children' children.

They did not give a hoot about Minnie, the other women who had families and who came year-after-year, working long hours with little to very little pay; but, took care of them, their families and their parents.

African Americans were not allowed to go to school and obtain an education or work for comparable wages as did Caucasians. So, where were they suppose to get money for retirement, savings, 401k, bonds, and the like for the NOW 65 year old - or more?

Page from RacismFor Senator Mitch McConnell, Senator Jeff Sessions and the others to speak the way they do about those of us that are in poverty; when their parents, relatives and/or associates' racist behavior caused millions to be disadvantaged financially, it speaks loudly to their disinguousness.


WI Representative Paul Ryan at 16 years old became the recipient of Social Security - an entitlement. It helped to protect him at a vulnerable time - he is one of the main ones, talking "trash".

Taken from PoliticusUSA
When Representative Paul Ryan was 16 years old , tragedy struck his family. His 55 year old father had passed away from a heart attack. Young Paul Ryan found his father’s lifeless body and was burdened by the fact that he had to tell his mother and siblings of this horrible situation. Rep. Ryan's father was an attorney.

After his father’s passing, young Paul Ryan started collecting social security benefits until the age of 18 years old. For MORE PoliticusUSA

Accountability
The Media must help hold them accountable by checking their background for past and present behavior patterns and benefits.

We, The People, especially African American must be about the business of correction. And, that does not mean elimination of Medicare, Medicaid - Social Security for those Americans that are in-need.

Take a look at the many "clips" for perspective and one of the revealing truths of how a race of people in the USA have been; and, some are yet being treated.
