Black-on-Black Violence? Congress, Media Not Interested
It is not just the media that deserves blame for such callous disregard for all that bloodshed. Politicians, too, twist themselves into all manner of intellectual contortions in attempting to minimize and even ignore the problem of crime in black communities. Many of the murders I mention above occurred in the congressional district represented by Maxine Waters, whose comments on the Trayvon Martin shooting have been characteristically foolish: “Why is it we have so many young black males that are being profiled and being killed?” she asked on CNN, blithely unaware of the incongruity in the question.
To Rep. Waters and her cohorts in the racial grievance industry, racial profiling is a greater threat to blacks in America than violent crime, this despite the stark numbers available for all to see. Her Los Angeles office is located near the intersection of 101st Street and Broadway, within two miles of which, according to the Los Angeles Times, there have been 236 homicides since January 1, 2007. In examining the map at the link, you’ll see that you can scarcely walk a single block in parts of that area without coming upon the scene of at least one murder. Wouldn’t the loved ones of those 236 people wish that some police officer had “profiled” the killers in the moments before the crimes occurred? Would Rep. Waters ask that the police in those neighborhoods be less proactive?
I was at some of those murder scenes. I was present in some cases when the parents of those victims came running to the sounds of sirens and police helicopters to learn that their worst fears had been realized, that it was their own son lying under a sheet on the sidewalk beyond all that yellow tape. I don’t remember Maxine Waters saying a word about any of them.
Joining Rep. Waters in that same CNN interview was Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Democrat of Missouri and chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Soledad O’Brien raised the question of whether Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were exploiting the Trayvon Martin case while “missing the bigger issue of black-on-black crime.” Rep. Cleaver dismissed such talk:
The bigger issue is the low esteem in which black life is held, particularly black males. And so it doesn’t matter whether it’s black on black or brown or green or whatever, it means that there is hot a high level of appreciation for the life of a black male who is a human being.
If that is indeed the case, why is it that he and Rep. Waters and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and all the lesser lights of the racial grievance industry are heard from only when a black is killed by a non-black?
According to a Jan. 2011 study (PDF) by the Violence Policy Center, Missouri leads the nation in the black homicide rate, with 39.9 per 100,000. (The study is based on 2008 figures. The overall national homicide rate that year was 5.4 per 100,000.) Yet if you peruse the press releases on Rep. Cleaver’s website, you’ll find plenty of references to various “green” projects and other such pork, but you won’t find a single word about crime.
Even if George Zimmerman is as guilty as his most vociferous accusers claim, his arrest and imprisonment won’t change this grim reality: According to the CDC, homicide is the fourth leading cause of death of black males in America. More than 90 percent of those deaths are at the hands of other black males. There is a political issue and a news story in those numbers, but it’s one you surely won’t hear much about.
I watch “The First 48″ (on A&E) with uncomprehending fascination. The homicide detectives featured on that series appear to enter a totally alien universe when they work the streets of the black ghettos– it’s like they’ve entered an alternate reality where violence and murder are everyday occurrences, as commonplace as buying a sixpack at the corner store. The suspects appear stupefied, or sleepwalking, not ferocious desperadoes or vicious psychopaths but rather bewildered kids in the grip of some enchantment. They shuffle into the interview room, many just teenagers, are often remorseful: “We wuz just gonna rob that guy, I didn’t know my friend had a gun…and all of a sudden it was ‘blam! blam!’ I just run.” They seem to have no recognition that they live in a world that is so strange and alien to the way normal people perceive life…it’s as if some terrible disease had taken over their brains en masse and turned them into zombies. It’s not the body count, per se, that gets me, but that that sort of reality, so horrible and so twisted appears to continue, day after day, in city after city and still fails to gain the attention of the liberal media or, and especially, the notice of the so-called black leaders who are so intoxicated with their ideology they can’t see what’s in front of their eyes.
I recall one scene: a suspect is denying his guilt despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. “I wouldn’t hurt him, I known him since grade school. He was my friend, I love him to death.” The female detective responds, “I hope nobody ever loves me that much.”
“it’s as if some terrible disease had taken over their brains en masse and turned them into zombies”
Yes — dependency. Whether on chemicals or handouts. They’ve been told all their lives that they cannot do anything for themselves, so they don’t.
And they’ve been told all their lives that if they do try to do anything for themselves, they’re “acting white”, which apparently is shameful.
Let them go. The situation is so terribly out of control that the only thing we can do is protect ourselves.
Which is what Zimmerman was doing.
Two young lives extinguished but unworthy of a mention on the evening news.
I submit again; let them go.
I agree. Let. Them. Go. Why? They do not value their own lives; why should we? Time to batten down the hatches & put forth the efforts it will take to keep their cancer (miserable, drug-worshipping, gangster-type lifestyles) from infecting us. We think nothing of keeping Native Americans in reservations; how about having them for these miserable people?
Why not let them go? Because they are our brothers, that’s why. And because our own stupid licentiousness — no-fault divorce, easy fornication, pills and white balloons — has devastated the lower classes. No man is an island unto himself. We all happily live in a country whose mass entertainment is an open sewer. But some of us live upstream from the sewer, and don’t smell quite as bad as the people who live downstream.
Two characteristics of black humans are lower IQ and impaired impulse-control. This from Zimbabwe to Detroit; from then to now. Everything we observe in the Afro-American Community flows from these two traits. No imaginable government programs will change them. So, whatever is done, or not done; they will “go” nevertheless. Whites, back when they ran things, did establish informal pales-of-settlement (ghettos or ‘hoods’) for blacks, but after whites were demoted to second-class citizens in the 60s (the Second, or Great, Reconstruction), this arrangement broke down. Whites were no longer arranging anything, so they simply started running away. I see no sign that whites are going to achieve equal status with minorities in the future, so we’ll just have to keep running. And buy lots of firearms. The second-class status of whites is the glaringly, screamingly obvious reason white-on-black crime is so unacceptable. This is simply the other side of our old white-dominated society. Before 1950, there were plenty of whites killing whites and blacks killing blacks, but the only crimes that generated outrage were black-on-white crimes. The dominance hierarchy defines all human societies, but not which race happens to be dominant. The only question, as Lenin said, is “Who? Whom?”
We need to cut off the welfare state right now. If they riot, then simply make sure that the violence does not spread outside their own neighborhoods. Then these ghetto thugs and their families will have to learn to clean up their own messes without our help.
The problem is…black leaders, democrats and liberals push gun control and the idea is we don’t fight back. Much like the Islamic ideal of Muslims being above the law and dhimmis and infidels or apostates cannot fight back by rule of sharia law.
This is for Bobbcat: They do not value their own lives, and they certainly do not value the lives of others. I mean not just life and death, but the lives of others as in allowing others to dine, shop, ride the bus, or just sit on their front porches in peace.
This is for Tony: You pick whom you wish to consider brothers, and I will pick mine. Stupid people with low impulse control, lack of common sense, and who are lacking in basic manners and civility are NOT my brothers. And with all the handouts and compromises the rest of us are forced to make under threat of the badges and guns of government, these people you choose to call brothers are, collectively, our children whether we like it or not.
Excellent observation. The surreal nature of this never ending nightmare that young, urban black males are ensnared in, is undeniable. The grisly physical reality is so stark one can’t help but conclude that they dwell in an obscenely alternate reality where they are condemned to work off some ghastly karmic debt. Socio-cultural apoligist theories and explanations are a dime a dozen, and actually of no merit. The grotesque degeneracy of these black Americans, and the blind eye turned by their handlers can only be grappled with on a metaphysical footing. This segment of our culture is doomed and in a self actualizing death spiral. The irony is that “they” battle internal demons, whilst their apoligists lamely project onto the broader culture. Pity for this untouchable caste is wasted. One should give fervant thanks to God that they have mercifully been spared this miserable lot in life!
“The First 48″ is careful to show the grief of the victim’s families and the humanity of the detectives who are often as not, black. But what’s so surreal is that the perps, mostly young blacks under the age of 30, and many just teenagers, is their lack of affect and apparent stupidity. They aren’t fanatical Muslims, or angry Ulstermen, or vicious members of the drug cartels, but kids who don’t seem to be able to comprehend that shooting somebody might kill him, and if dead he can’t come back to life. They don’t seem to realize that if caught the life of the perp is essentially over. Most of them don’t even seem to realize that they could be caught. This makes them appear to be morons, and probably most of them are, but their stupidity is a cultural stupidity, not genetic. It is the result of an environment in which there are no rules and no consequences for most of their young lives, at least until they do something serious and irrevocable. I recall one episode in which a suspect, confronted with damning and airtight evidence of guilt, and about to be arrested and charged, asking the inspector, “Can I go home now?”
I recall a few years back in San Francisco there was an incident in the news: a police officer accidentally shot a crack dealer and killed him. The shooting was clearly accidental, even in liberal SF they still found the cop innocent, but the community was up in arms: “Murder by cop! They’re killing us! Pigs!” Until that community can say instead, “At last, another crack dealer off the streets, praise God!” then they’ll have to live with crime, drugs and murder.
I agree about First 48.It appears if there is white on black crime it is a national event-black on black? NO SNITCH’IN.
You may be interested to know that Irvin Ford,a detective,featured on the show, who was promoted last year,came out de-crying the Martin killing. Not sure to what extent(it appears that he attended the same church as Martins mother) but it was portrayed as he was furthuring the racist-caused framework. It would be surprising as I always thought him a fair detective.The area that Martin lived is 90% black/70% section 8 housing. It is murder central as featured on First 48.
Ah yes, the First 48. We used to watch that show too, with fascination.
It amazed me that merely showing criminal life in most cities the way it actually is revealed one black criminal after another.
But it wasn’t true: the show was rigged! Slanted.
The producers later admitted that they went out of their way to feature as much white/non-black crime as they could find. If they had followed actual percentages — especially in places like Detroit — you’d rarely see a white face.
The black community has a real problem and phonies like Maxine Waters are totally blind to that problem, while cashing her check from the public trough. Sad.
And “entertainment” murder mystery shows like Castle, CSI, NCIS, Law and Order and a host of others, all misrepresent actual murder in our society by a large factor.
I’m always interested in hearing the tales of the police who’ve had to clean up these messes, but largely, as I’m sure you know, you’re preaching to the choir. Everything you said is exactly true, but until blacks within those 7 blocks wake up and say, “Why doesn’t Maxine Waters give a **** about us?!” Then little is going to change. As long as the media, due to their seemingly abject hatred of anything Western Civilization are unwilling to shine a light on the infestation, it’s going to continue to eat away the country’s foundations. I understand, however, that they are in the business to make money, and nobody is going to watch their programs if they steer away from their vapid celebrity gossip and start shaming a particularly detestable part of black culture into realizing the insaneness of its actions.
Excellent points!!!
Sorry, Not going to happen. Our leaders are encouraging continuation of this condition, condition of degradation of this country, this society.
I’m not a racist, but the problem is black folks. They are afraid to step forward in order not to be painted “white”. And jacksons and sharptons are lining these pockets on these misery. What a shame. It will not end untill blacks will stand up against their own racism, or until we are completely destruct.
Jacobite, I take issue with your statement about lower IQ among black people. I believe what appears to be lower IQ is actually lack of education. Or do you believe that white people have lower IQ’s than do Asians? Or is it again, the lack of education? The thing that ties these together is lack of parental involvement in their children’s education.
The author of the article is coming at it from a police perspective. This is an educational and cultural problem. In my opinion, liberal “educators” and politicians have stood like a wall between the black community and real education for way too many years with promises of welfare, lack of discipline, threat of being too “white” and racial profiling of themselves as having to be taken care of by the government. This has resulted in the total breakdown of the family and women becoming mothers at a younger and younger age. These single mothers seem to have no historical perspective except more and more of a “free” lifestyle i.e. either more babies out of wedlock or more abortions. This promulgates a seemingly endless circle of uneducated, mean and clueless young black men and acquiescent women, who have no idea there is actually a way out.
Every time there is a black conservative who comes along they are attacked on all sides by the black and Liberal community and called traitors to their “race”. Just this very attitude should cause people who can think in any kind of linear way to give up being a liberal.
My solution? I don’t know exactly, but it seems as though “boot camp” schools should be set up in inner cities or any school district that has a big discipline problem (after all, tax payers are being soaked for the huge upkeep of these schools)and discipline enforced when there is none for these kids at home. A problem can’t be fixed until you stare it in the face and unflinchingly do what is necessary to fix it. This is why it has never been done up to now. Liberal teachers and administrators plus politicians aren’t going to do any such thing to help the children even though they claim to have their best interests at heart.
Remember William Shockley, the co-inventor of the transistor chip and winner of the Nobel Prize for physics? He thought his greatest scientific work was his theory that there is an intellectual gap between whites and blacks, roughly 10% as I recall. He had evidence to prove it, but the intellectual establishment then as now refused to consider the possibility, just as it will not countenance research into the genetic components responsible for the higher levels of violence among blacks.
IQ Tests test what IQ Tests test. I don’t know that there’s any evidence that the synapses in a brain covered with dark skin fire any faster than those in a brain covered with light skin or some skin color in between. I do know that there is a tremendous deficit in the socialization and acculturation of blacks, especially black males. In the bad old days before the Civil Rights Act and the Great Society, blacks married with about the same frequency as whites, divorced at about the same LOW rate, had illigitimate children at about the same LOW rate, and found employment of some sort at about the same rate. Now there is no doubt that there was very, very limited opportunity for blacks to advance themselves above menial work in The South especially and in rural America generally. But there was work, there were functional families, and there was social and economic advancement, albeit slowly.
I grew up on a rural Georgia farm in the waning days of Jim Crow. My family had land but limited labor. By the ’50s unless you had a LOT of land, somebody had to work for wages, so we relied on sharecroppers and hired help for anything my Grandfather couldn’t do because my Dad was already working in town for wages. After my Grandfather was killed in a logging accident, we relied exclusively on sharecropping and hired labor. We had a symbiotic relationship with a black clan that lived nearby and with which my family had had a somewhat peculiar relationship a century before. They owned more land than we actually, but they had a lot more kids and several families to support off that farm and their labor. So, they farmed their land and sharecropped ours; probably made more than we did off farming income, not that either of us made much in cash terms. Since the rural South is the paradigm for racism and social and economic oppression of blacks, some ought to look at history rather than leftist propaganda. Unlanded whites and blacks lived about the same in the rural South until well into the 1960s – badly. They were both poorly housed, poorly fed (they weren’t hungry, but they had a terrible diet), had terrible to non-existent medical, dental, and visual care. Hell, we were better off than most farming families and I have a Porsche going on a Ferrari in my mouth trying to keep what’s left of my white trash teeth. Most of the New Deal’s social and labor programs were aimed at the persistent and persistently vexatious problem of rural poverty, especially rural Southern poverty, and the distinction between rural white and black poverty was only one of degree, and a narrow degree at that.
Even much of the lynching meme is myth. Structured police forces weren’t a part of rural America until the ’60s and later. Until the ’70s, my 700 square mile county had a Sheriff and a couple of deputies, the county seat had maybe a half dozen cops, and the State Patrol rode the roads a bit. The County Court met once every three months. Until the ’70s in most of rural America, if there was a crime the sheriff came out, maybe with a deputy or two, and “investigated.” If the alleged criminal was still a threat, the sheriff deputized anybody handy, and they went after him, or occasionally her. The Wild West Posse wasn’t just a fixture of the Old West; it continued well into the first half of the 20th Century in much of the Country. If a deputized posse encountered a fleeing felon, the odds were pretty good that the fleeing felon would die in the encounter, maybe from gunfire, maybe from a rope. Some, only some, of those fleeing felons were black. To the “progressive” eye, the dead white fleeing felons were “frontier justice,” but the dead black fleeing felons were victims of a lynching – and some were. I’m not trying to justify the rough “justice,” but there is an explanation that is both historically accurate and which doesn’t fit the Leftist meme. What never gets communicated in dealing with The South between the end of the Civil War and the Civil Rights Act is how much social or economic class was a factor. The great crime in the Jim Crow South was not “walking while being black,” it was “walking while being poor.” Now walking while being poor and black in a white area, blacks lived in The Quarter, could very well get you killed on the spot, but so could walking in that same area if you were white and poor. If you were some place where you “didn’t have any business being,” you were very likely to get a gun in your face – at minimum. Hell, I still can’t get past my redneck Southern upbringing; if somebody showed up at my door unexpected, I’d most likely tuck my pistol in my belt to go answer the door.
Perhaps the reason nobody bats an eyelash at black homicide is that people have come to expect such things in the black community and have given up on expecting them to do anything else. There has been an absolutely tremendous amount of time, effort, and money expended on the “plight of the black people” since the liberal heyday of LBJ and thereafter. Yet the situation in the black community has been on a relentless downward spiral for what seems like forever, regardless of what has been done to help them. There isn’t enough money in the world to “lift up” a group that is hell-bent on their own destruction. As long as black murder and mayhem remains in the black neighborhoods, its hard to expect others to be fixated on their problems anymore. We all have lives to lead without the dead weight of an uncooperative and unproductive segment of society sinking the entire enterprise.
The downfall of the black community can be dated directly from LBJ and the Great Society. They were doing fine before that. Sure, they had to overcome racism (which white immigrants had to overcome also) but generally their churches weren’t corrupted by black liberations theology, fathers were in the homes and they were steadily moving up the econonic ladder. They didn’t believe they were victims. Once the liberals got involed (their former masters) all their progress was shot to he11.
A big part of the problem with liberal “save the poor” mantra is the rules that create and encourage welfare dependency and discourages self sufficiency. If a single mother has the baby daddy move in with her, we cur off the food stamps thus encouraging her to keep him out. Instead we should adjust the amount based on his income and encourage two parent households. Or when a single mother goes to work, we refuse to help her with child care so if she works and pays her own child care, she has less money available to support her kids than if she didn’t work and stays home. If we support the day care based on her wages, help her transition off welfare, we would create a productive member of society. But then again, she may develop some self worth and vote Republican.
The entire welfare system is based on keeping the unwashed masses dependent on government. Until we fix that, we will never solve the problem.
Also include the loss of assistance by attending college.
A number of years ago, I surfed into a book reading on C-SPAN and stopped to listen for a while. The author was describing growing up in South Side Chicago in the 50′s. She talked about how your next door neighbors might be a doctor or a teacher or a guy who pushed a broom for a living and the mailman lived across the street and the local Alderman down the block. She spoke of there being role models everywhere. She said that even if both parents (both parents) worked during down the day, there were plenty of other parents who were home and keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood kids. She talked about how important it was to all the parents that their kids got educated and how if you got in trouble at school, you were also in trouble at home. She was no Pollyanna and it seemed a honest portrayal of a community that was pulling together to move its children up the socio-economic ladder. I hope that like she, many others were able to move on up and out before the Great Society came along and destroyed everything they had built.
Dear Sukie – you touched a nerve for me with the recollection of life on the south-side of Chicago in the 50s. For me, it was the immigrant neighborhoods on the west-side (same city), and the dictum taught was to better yourself for the good of the entire community. Civics was a living, breathing lesson, not just for school, and it radiated out into the entire city. We were taught that we were ALL in this life together, and together we would ALL help each other to make it better than it was currently. However, it was clear that it was up to the individual to make it happen.
Of course, not everyone obeyed those principals, but we youngsters knew we had a real stake in the future of our city and in ourselves: and may of us achieved excellence. All that is gone now – completely destroyed by the entitlements bestowed by Democrats as they undercut the authority of family, church and community. Your comments made me heartsick, but not hopeless. Perhaps we have reached bottom, and can again strive, as a nation, to reach for excellence. Down with Obama and his criminal government!
I spent some time in Chicago as a kid in the 50′s. Since we were there on a short-term, temporary basis, we lived in a hotel overlooking Lincoln Park Zoo and I went to school with the tenement kids living a few blocks west (could one of them have been you??). Going to the homes of my classmates was an eye-opening experience for me because it was my introduction to poverty, my first realization that not everybody lived like us and the extent to which they didn’t live like us. But these often cold-water flats (which as I recall–funny the things you remember–were in once lovely old buildings and had high ceilings and lots of wonderful architectural detail) weren’t dens of despair in spite of the peeling paint (loaded with lead I’m sure), faded wallpaper and spartan, threadbare furnishings. Even if the parents struggled with English, the kids spoke it and dad’s job may have been menial, but it was honest work done with pride. Back then, the tenements were but a stop on the immigrant trail. The kids, thanks to education and opportunity, would go on to better, more prosperous lives and their kids, better lives still. My own grandparents, who met in steerage and came through Ellis Island, settled in Brooklyn and raised a family that within one generation was living the American dream. I don’t know why we decided that this most American of stories had to be rewritten, that the struggle had to be circumvented, that dependence and stagnation were preferable to intergenerational upward mobility.
Blackelk does NOT speak with forked tongue. The broader culture has to at this point adopt the palliative care model. There is a self realizing malignancy within this cultural segment that the broader culture MUST innoculate itself from. In a more pragmatic era, the wider concensus might be toward radical excision of this tumorous mass. Presently we can only persue the “gated community” model whereby the healthy tissue insulates itself from the dieased. Some grand plan for their(young, urban black males) “salvation” is not of this realm!
If something happens constantly and predictably, then by definition, it isn’t news. Is it news that the sun rises every morning and sets every evening? No.
It’s up to the blacks to stop killing each other. It is not within our power to prevent them from doing that.
No one bats an eye at the black homicide rate because we are not supposed to acknowledge that the hight rate exists!
The MSM cannot talk about some thing that contradicts the narrative.
Bingo.
Instead of talking about the rate of crime, they talk about how blacks make up a disproportionate percentage of the nation’s prison population. To them, if blacks are 13% of the general population, they shouldn’t make up more than 13% of the prison population. If the percentage of each demographic who committed crimes was the same, they’d have a point. Unfortunately for them, that isn’t the case.
The race hustling industry operates with a rational business model. What would be the point of emphasizing the overwhelming preponderance of black on black and black on white criminal activity? What possible advantage would the race baiters derive by admitting the obvious and demand restitution from the perps? Nada. It’s the Willy Sutton rule; you go where the money is.
No circus is complete without a pink cowboy hatted Frederica Wilson blathering like a rabid dog…er, I mean…blathering about rabid dogs. Who let the clowns out?
Elected-for-life Black Reps such as Waters, Cleaver, hoodie-adorned Bobby Rush, Cowgirl Wilson, etc don’t need to offer solutions to their Black constituents’ problems. They just need to hurl racist accusations at Whites and be damned entertaining while doing it.
The masters are largely white liberals who work in cohort with the black overseers such as Maxine Waters who keep the African-American community on the Democrat Party plantation. And woe to the runaway that dares to leave the plantation by thinking and acting like a conservative, or just by thinking at all and not playing their useful role (as in not knowing “your place”). They get hunted down by the round-up posse known as the mainstream media for punishment. All of the above are the players in this disgraceful “game” known as welfare politics.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We got a winner!
Maxine Waters provides an excellent example of the failure of Democracy. In an intelligent and fair world she could not be elected to anything. She would not even be allowed to vote because voting should be a privilege of the qualified. We have to pass tests to get a driver’s license, we need a license to run a hot dog stand, a license is given only to the qualified but in our system anyone, any scoundrel, half-wit, congenital moron can vote and also run for office which is why this scoundrel, half-wit, congenital moron of a woman sits in office.
I can’t agree with the author in this article…If you replace the word “threat” with the word “opportunity”….then it makes sense why the civil rights industry ignores black-on-black crime and focuses on what they see as racial profiling.
When a young, black male kills another young, black male…there is no source of compensation. Those responsible offer no financial, nor political incentive for which to target them for recompense.
What the Maxine Watters of the world want are concessions. They want a settlement. That only happens on the rare occasion when a black is a victim of a police officer who is not black, or in this case, a rogue crime watch citizen who is not black.
When Al Sharpton shows up on the scene after having stoked the racial fires…he doesn’t then “turn over the reigns” to another black activist…He himself expects to broker a deal…and get a piece of the action. He emphasizes that he is in the position to either ramp up the anger, or tone it down…He has demands that must be met….and he came all the way from New York to express them.
Maxine Watters biggest concern is coming away from a situation like this one empty handed…Her constituents won’t be satisfied with a mere conviction of Mr. Zimmerman…the greater issue of racial-profiling requires a greater pay off….money for programs is first on the list….Regulating peoples ability to defend themselves is another…You are seeing both in the Zimmerman case.
Justice to the race-hustlers in the civil rights industry is never, ever defined in singular terms on behalf of a single individual. This is about money.
Without the potential payoff, the Sharptons, the Jacksons and the Watters of the world will never show up. They expect to get paid….and they expect to see programs and entitlements set aside for their constituency so that they can get paid too.
Brokering peace for cash is nothing new…the mafia does it…criminal gangs do it…and so do these people.
All excellent points.
Stupendous, perfect analogy. Shame/scare whitey into negotiating, civil accord(peace) for booty. Genius really, thescoots!
What’s the modern term for Danegeld?
This is not aimed at Mr. Dunphy, but at PJ Media and all the conservative websites in general– which I read and am a fan of:
People want to see Conservatives dealing seriously with the fact that a black kid with no history of violence is dead at the hands of a not-black guy with a history of violence and that the police let the killer free.
The Conservative media needs to build up some points, show that you care about that issue directly, and *then* go after black on black violence, leftist hypocrisy, leftist railroading, etc…
Never mind that the evidence is it was self defense? In order to demonstrate our bona-fides, we have to join in the rope party?
No thanks. I’ll stand on the side of justice and due process, thank you.
A Berman, I respect your opinion, but I believe you’re missing the bigger picture. The crazed leftists and race baiters in this country don’t want conservatives to look seriously at the case; they want us to be as rabid and irrational as they are, and they expect “the people” to feel the same as they do.
Conservatives are the ones taking the measured, even path in this public tribunal. “Let’s actually look at the evidence,” we’re saying. “Let’s not convict Zimmerman sight unseen. Was his life in danger? What was Trayvon doing there? Who was screaming on the 911 call? Who hit who first?” This is because conservatives believe in law and order and due process. Without those things society devolves into chaos. We know that it’s foolish to arrest a person when there is not sufficient evidence to justify an arrest, and we also know that it can take a long time to gather that evidence. We ALSO know that, once the investigation is complete, it’s entirely possible that the alleged lawbreaker will be cleared of any wrongdoing. That’s why, even if the object under investigation is emotionally charged — which should be the norm when ANYONE is murdered, regardless of race, gender or age — it is absolutely vital that the facts of the case not be clouded by rumor, emotion, fear-mongering or race-baiting. There is no justice in a wrongful conviction, or in a conviction that doesn’t meet the seriousness of the crime due to shoddy police work.
This is unacceptable to the leftist hivemind and its dominant narrative of “innocent young black man killed by white, oh wait, by white hispanic man.” To them, there can be no rational explanation for a grown man killing a teenager. “How could Zimmerman fear for his life? Trayvon was just a kid! He told the 911 operator that the kid was black! Clearly this was a racially motivated crime. Clearly Zimmerman hates black people and chased Trayvon down to murder him! The cops didn’t arrest him because they’re racists who are in on it, too!” That’s an emotional argument almost entirely devoid of fact, yet it seems to be the dominant argument in the “narrative” that’s sprung up around this case. There’s no room in there to believe that Zimmerman could have been physically outmatched by the younger, similarly-weighted Trayvon, nor that Trayvon might have been the aggressor in the situation. To posit those potentialities is considered “racist” and “close-minded” according to the leftist narrative.
The left enjoys painting the right as heartless monsters, but that’s simply not the case. It is the left that are the heartless, soulless degenerates who don’t bat an eye when young black men slaughter each other on a daily basis. Everyone with a heart should be looking at this case and saying, “Yes, this is sad. But why isn’t the same media frenzy engendered every time a black kills another black? Or a white kills another white? Or a black kills a white? Or when the killer or victim is Asian, hispanic, European, Middle-Eastern, African…? Where’s the outrage for every life lost in this country thanks to senseless violence?”
Conservatives value life. Conservatives value law, order, and due process. Conservatives value justice. Conservatives value responsibility and compassion.
The left values none of these things.
Conservatives shouldn’t be trying to appeal to “the people.” The people should be looking at conservatives and saying, “You know, they’ve got a point.”
Your argument seems to be that conservatives should join the mob on a few cases as a tactical measure in order to build up street cred with “activists” such as those behind the Trayvon Martin furor. Having done this conservatives will then be able to comment with more authority on black-on-black street crime.
If that is your argument it stinks both morally and tactically. How many mobs must we join in order to be qualified to point out a fact that is painfully obvious to everyone who has thought about the problem for more than thirty seconds? Black-on-black violence in endemic in the U.S. and licking the unclean boots of the Sharpton/Jackson crowd for a couple os cases isn’t going to change that. Neither will it encourage the racial grievance industry to speak rationally about these matters. The whole Trayvon Martin imboglio isn’t about race, or murder or even about white-on-black homicide. It’s about power and control of the media agenda.
Yesterday, in my home town, a young black man pled “no contest” to the murder of a white convenience store clerk that took place four years ago. It was a stupid and senseless crime motivated by greed and panic. Where are the crowds of angy protestors in this case? They are absent not because the clerk was white, but because the case doesn’t help out anyone’s political agenda.
You say that “activists” (love that word) will take conservatives more seriously concerning black-on-black crime if conservatives join the baying mob seeking George Zimmerman’s skin. That is an affront to both justice and the lives of young black males who have been either ignored or exploited by the same “community activists” who claim to speak for them.
While there is no official record of Martin being violent there is evidence that he may be a thief. While it is true that many thieves avoid violence whenever possible it is equally possible that this particular alleged thief has never been actually caught committing acts of violence. Therefore, we don’t know if he is violent or not.
Maxine Watters exemplifies why theres racisim towards the black community
I’m more suprised that LULAC/hispanic community has been silent on this issue
By the by their were over 600 black youth murders per year over the last 3 years
Did the President ask for a special investigation on these 1800+ cases ?
You can tell it’s an election year
Last I heard, the latino community had openly exorcised Zimmerman from their ranks and was questioning his hispanic bonafides. Apparently a Peruvian mother isn’t enough for them.
put a job application in front of George or someone else with a Peruvian mother and see if their attitude is so cavalier about the Hispanic designation. The ironic thing about this case is the creation of a punchline – white Hispanic. In the church of the aggrieved and the offended, race trumps all. Just ask Hillary. Or women in general who got the right to vote long after black men did.
Can you feel it all accelerating? We are rocketing towards our final pretense of an election and the loss of our Republic.
Sad to say, he might find more freedom and justice in South America than he will ever find in the US. He’d be better off leaving. We might do the same ourselves.
It’s racist to suggest that there is anything at all wrong with black-on-black crime!
The U.S. Race Industry is a booming business. It has the backing of the President of the United States and Congress, and seems to be the only viable industry with such broad ranging approval.
I expect an IPO any day now on the NYSE with the symbol BS for Black Superiority, etc.
It’s certainly a “green” industry (or maybe red).
It has it’s own energy source, but the waste and pollution is a problem which could spin off another completely independent government agency to provide oversight. BS Service Corps comes to mind.
The possibilities are endless!
Are we a great country, or what?
Agreed! Though is calling race-baiting a “green” industry itself racist? It’s so hard to keep track. The left keeps changing the definitions of common words to make them “code words,” and I just can’t keep up with their racial profiling anymore! If I had a dog, he’d be falling over backward from all the purported “dog whistles” our public spokesmen apparently keep spouting.
There’s, I think, a more sinister motivation to ignoring the violence in the black community. It’s the same reason the Democrat party spent most of a century protecting the Klan: they view it as a tool to use against their enemies.
I find Maxine and Co. to be utterly deplorable, but apparently black people have the leaders they want. Or are indifferent.
Re: According to the CDC …
That right there speaks volumes about the actual “pathologies” involved. Why is the Centers for Disease Control keeping homicide figures? People killing people is a disease, then?
The CDC keeps records of causes of morbidity and mortality in general. Homicide and suicide are not diseased, but they have to be ranked with things like cancer and other causes of death to show trends.
Why not? According to Obama, pregnancy is a disease.
I can appreciate the objection to race-based profiling in many cases. It must be particularly galling for a law abiding citizen to be repeatedly stopped and hassled for “driving while black” or “walking while black” in a predominately white neighborhood. Given that the Zimmerman/Martin case is an extreme outlier, the worst that can happen is the inconvenience and humiliation of a Terry Stop. This is not trivial, and I do not mean to minimize its significance. It’s just plain wrong. But consider the converse case. There are miles of street in several major cities where “walking while white” carries the death penalty. The reason that black-on-white murder statistics are not worse than they are is that most people have the good sense to stay out of these areas. From time to time foreign tourists who don’t know of these no-go zones learn about them the hard way. This happened to two British tourists in St.Petersburg, Florida recently.
There was a big kerfluffle awhile back over a “racist” app for smartphones with GPS that would help you avoid “high crime areas,” which we all know are black areas. Honestly, when I drive in America’s Third World areas like California and the doughnut cites, my greatest fear is taking the wrong exit and winding up in one of those places where being white is a capital crime and execution is almost certainly instant. Add to that the fact that those places all have insane gun laws that make it certain than only criminals will be armed.
Is this app still available? If so, what is it called?
Don’t know that it is available or if it ever will be. IIRC, the kerfluffle was about Microsoft, I think, registering a trademark or applying for a patent for it and the usual suspects went nuts.
I would challenge one of these “usual suspects” to park his car in one of these areas and walk one mile, maybe to buy some Skittles or some iced tea. Extra credit if he wears his lawyer suit. In this context that would be more provocative than a hoodie.
If he is Catholic, he should first go to Confession, and then receive Extreme Unction.
Ernie G…I almost spewed milk over my keyboard — Last Rites, Extreme Unction, indeed!!
While a bit of navel-gazing might offer up some insight to these race baiters I think at some level they already know that their own policies these the past 60 years or so are largely to blame for creating the environment in places like South and Central L.A. – Detroit and dozens of other places around this country. What the left and the race baiters cannot do is acknowledge – or even worse – accept blame for for the disastrous policies. Even though they are their own.
The reason why the Zimmerman-Martin case is highlighted in the national news is someone finally got the attention of the race baiters that what happened in Sanford Florida could be exploited for propaganda. That a young black man had died causes them no anxiety whatever since this happens all the time in other places and we never hear an uproar about those deaths. No – they are up in arms because its what they do given the chance – and they do it so well. Race baiters are like a window – so damned transparent – yet the audience they are playing to are so damned blind.
> So how to explain the fascination with Trayvon Martin’s death? In dispatching swarms of reporters to Sanford, Florida, where Martin was killed, our sophisticated betters in the media have sought to cloak themselves with cheap grace. They focus on one victim whom they perceive to be — and whom they present to be — an innocent victim of an unprovoked shooting, while ignoring the incalculably larger problem of violent crime in America’s black communities.
In other words, it was orchestrated. It was orchestrated by the Criminal Zerobama Regime in an effort to mobilize their racist base for the coming election, and to move toward the “back door gun control” the regime has publicly stated they will seek.
The Enemy never sleeps.
Liberalism is a cult of hatred and violence.

Cops: 7 dead, 3 hurt in Christian school shooting By TERRY COLLINS | The Associated Press
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/world/53841237-68/university-oakland-shooter-police.html.csp
any white Hispanics involved?
One of them looks like the daughter I never had. Where is the Pres, Sharpton and Jackson for these poor children?
Just think, if one of them was legally carrying a gun, the perp would have been gone long before 7 were killed.
The trayvon shooting makes a wildly good story, especially with NBC and ABC editing, Keeps the peoples minds off the gasoline price, no jobs and Obama throwing Billions to failing green companies who backed him.
The reason crime is not being seriously addressed: it serves to terrorize the population so that they will accept government taking away more and more of their rights and freedoms. Even low crime districts can be terrified if the media runs the right stories about the right crimes in the right way. Why else would certain networks devote such vast coverage to individual child kidnapping or murder cases? To terrify the soccer moms living in safe neighborhoods into accepting more monitoring and control, for their protection.
If crime were effectively addressed, people would be less tolerant of these political games and might even demand a roll back of the controls, cameras and monitoring. So no, crime has to continue along with all the other fear stories about a warm spring, fertilizer used on food, dust, etc., etc.
America’s inner cities are effectively ungoverned areas that have fallen under the control of the war lords we call gang leaders. Economic and social activity has collapsed from the resultant anarchy. This is exactly what the Democratic Party wants. It has created a large class of dependent citizens whose one function in life is to pull the D lever on Election Day. Crime is a form of social control employed by Progressives to maintain power. In fact as this article in the liberal Chicago Magazine shows the gang leadership is an integral part of the Democrat Party.
http://www.chicagomag.com/core/pagetools.php?url=%2FChicago-Magazine%2FJanuary-2012%2FGangs-and-Politicians-An-Unholy-Alliance%2F&mode=print
Excellent article – I really like your use of the term “war lords” to describe gang leaders. The whole thing does have a medieval feel to it doesn’t it?
Great article. Rather astounding even for Chicago. Small wonder nothing ever gets done about crime.
Might we not ask why? What if the community reflects the goals and values of the people within it? Liberals, in their cultural relativism would certainly agree with that.
If that is so, then that means that all effort is wasted except as it helps individuals survive for a better day. Beyond that the larger culture cannot do for a foreign culture or a local component what the individuals will not do for themselves.
Nation building is a farce: they are already nations: Neocons merely strengthen the cultural factors they want to change. Let the world figure out what it wants.
Your comment is one dumbest nonsequitors I have ever read. What does this have to do with nation building and neocons?
The information is horrifying and outrageous..the thought of 15,000 murders a year in the USA. BUT..what is even more disgusting and also outrageous ..which is rarely reported, and nothing seems to be done to stop these deaths is the estimated nearly 100,000 Americans who die in hospitals EVERY YEAR as a result of wrong medication and avoidable mistakes.
http://www.mombu.com/
According to a groundbreaking 1999 study by the Institute of Medicine (IOM)
of the National Academy of Sciences, as many as 98,000 patients die in the more than 5000 U.S. hospitals each year because of medical errors. Such mistakes are the eighth leading cause of death in America-ahead of car accidents, AIDS and breast cancer-according to the IOM’s most conservative estimates.
“It’s a major cause of preventable death in the U.S., yet there is a lot of denial about it in the hospital industry,” says Arthur Levin of the Center for Medical Consumers, a nonprofit clearinghouse for medical information, who worked on the IOM study. “Most of what happens is not disclosed. In health care, we have the tradition of keeping bad things quiet.”
Levin adds that the total number of deaths may actually be much greater, since the IOM figure does not include outpatient care. What’s more, he notes, “medical mistakes are well known to go unrecognized and undocumented in hospital medical records.”
kicks in, still more deaths, in vast untold numbers, to rival even mass genocide, among our seniors.
a week ago, a 50 year old white male was savagely beaten over the head allegedly by two black male youths with a hammer. They were arrested. He is currently on life-support. This event occurred 6 miles from the Trayvon Martin case.
It is not known whether or not these two black youths “look like the son” that Barack Obama never had. Nor is it known whether or not this white male looks like Obama’s grandfather. Obama hasn’t made a public statement either way.
Nor has it been reported whether or not these two black males were part of a local crime watch team….nor in whose neighborhood the beating occurred…theirs or his. I am sure that NBC will be getting to this story pretty soon…they are probably reviewing the 911 call recording from the two black males right now to see if they mentioned the race of the white guy or not.
Is there a link to this story? Maybe it should become our cause célèbre.
“Bad Spinach Gets More National Attention Than Black-on-Black Violence”…
Sure. The things that occur every day, every minute, every second, in other words, the things that are natural and usual, as the “Black-on-Black violence,” never attract more attention than something that happens rarely and sporadically, like this “bad spinach.”
Did I say something politically incorrect?
here ya go…

It’s accelerating. Can you sense it? The Grand 4 Year Plan is coming to fruition. They’re pretty sure it’s gonna work.
Ernie G your so right. In every city in America there are many areas that a white person cannot go near or they will be hurt. The week of the Trayvon story, a 17 year old black “child” was sentenced for the murder of two British tourists who got lost in Miami. They had to much to drink and wondered into the wrong area. The black child walked up to them and asked for their wallet. When they told the “child” they had no money he pulled out a gun and shot both of them dead. Went home and bragged about it to his friends.
I’m a Jew who immigrated from Canada 35 years ago. I grew up in a town where there were few blacks and certainly did not have any prejudice of any kind. How could I ? I did however have many incidents involving anti-Semitism growing up. I settled in Florida and operated a small manufacturing business with roughly 45 people working in the plant. I’d say one half of the people were black the other half made up of white and Spanish. I took great pride on how I treated our employees all who came with no skills and need of a job. I paid top wages for this kind of work, no one ever worked at minimum wage. I gave generously to them at Christmas and was always fair. I never asked anyone to do anything I couldn’t do myself. This is what I got back over an 8 year period.
I was beat up twice by young black “children” – One was 18 yrs old 5ft 10in about 210 could have been Joe Frazier and he put me in the hospital for two days. The reason – I fired him for being late 7 days in one month. He got off scott free because two other black employees testified that I threw the first punch. I was cold cocked and never knew what hit me – I was 58 years old at the time 5ft. 9in 175 lbs
I was robbed 4 times by our black employees. Once during a Christmas party we were throwing for the staff.
I was taken to court for sexual harassment. The accuser was a 28 year old 300lb black lesbian girl who I had employed for more than 4 years. Even the prosecutor had to laugh. When asked how I harassed her she replied –“ it’s the way he looks at me”
There was a county free clinic at the end of our building. Every day there were cars parked in my spaces (an overflow from the clinic) The clinic was visited mostly by you black females with one or more babies in tow. Whenever I asked them to move their cars I was sworn at, spit at and once slapped. The parking lot had used condoms all over that the had to be removed.
The neighborhood I live in has been savaged by foreclosure. Many of the units are now rented out. We have gone from a mostly white neighborhood to one that it is about a third black. With the new demographics have come crime – burglary, assault, disorderly conduct and more.
Needless to say I began to think much differently of the black community. I started to keep a mental diary of the amount of times I was cut off in traffic by a black, treated rudely by a black, witnessed aggressive driving on the turnpike by blacks, the amount of times a black person has cut in line while others wait their turn it goes on and on. Every day in the news we see young black “children” committing horrible crimes. So Mr. Sharpton, Jackson, Shirley Lee, Maxine Waters and the whole bunch, I’ve decided I’m now to old to fight and in the name of self-preservation I WILL PROFILE. I’ll will always take extra precaution whenever there is a black person in my vicinity. I will do my best not employ a black or give trust to one. It’s not because what I have read or seen on TV but it is because of very real life experiences. I Can guarantee that the attics of the black community will ensure racism for a very long time.
One last thought. I heard Sharpton speak on last night about hate crime against the blacks. Far as I know most hate crimes in the US and around the world are against Jews and far to many of them committed by blacks. I would dare to say that most blacks profile whites every day. To blacks all whites are racists
Sir, I salute you. You’ve put up with far more than I ever would. I’d have gone Galt long, long ago. I just hope your experiences with anti-semitism and black racism didn’t sour you on this great country (since you’ve been here for the better part of 40 years, I’m assuming not). You’re welcome to come on up here to NH — we actually respect good people up here!
I think there’s a lot of people who feel just the way you do but are afraid to express. I was an ardent supporter of civil rights in my youth and it was only a lifetime of experience that convinced me to think and feel as you do. I lived in the Bay Area for a long time and every local crime, it seemed, was committed by a black person. You begin to notice those things after a while. Fear is a great teacher. On the other hand I have known some really decent black folks, cops, businessmen, professionals, musicians. I didn’t want to dishonor them with prejudice so I moved to an area which was mostly white in order to not feel I was identifying with my anger. Of one thing I am convinced: racism is not to be confused with the honest appraisal of things as they are. If a statement is true it can’t be racist. People can’t allow themselves to be called racists for stating the truth.
The problem has arisen because too few parents – parent all too often – does not or will not or cannot teach their children how to behave according to basic standards of civilized behavior. Shorter: they fail to socialize their kids. People of every color and ethnicity are increasingly inadequately socialized; we see it on the highways every day. Pay attention to what people do and say when they think that no one can identify them. “What you do when you’re alone is what your true character is” used to be the saying. In short, they are people who will only behave themselves when they see a person with a gun who will use force on them if they don’t behave. (Yes, I know there are people who won’t behave even with a person with a gun at their elbow; they’re the crazy ones.) Lack of adequate socialization produces feral adults, wild adults, adults with insufficient self-control, who do whatever they want and expect others to take up the slack, pay the price, and get out of their way. With around 55% of the kids born having no father (70%+ in black America, 50%+ in Hispanic America and 40%+ in White America) the number of kids who grow into feral adults will continue to increase. Now, no matter what the exact numbers or percents are, here’s the Jackpot Question: what can be done about millions of folks of every color and ethnicity who will be without food when the federal and state governments go broke?? What can be done now? Boot camp? You’re smoking something there and I don’t want any of it; boot camp is like sports training: if they don’t want to be there, you lose. Soon to be an insoluble problem of unmanageable proportions … if it isn’t already that size. Have fun; I’m old and won’t live to see it, God willing.
And in case you think politics are getting a bit racial along the way – check out this frustrated bloggers thoughts -
“Damn, I wish my ancestors had picked their own cotton.”
“No kidding. This also brings to mind the following: 49 shootings in Chicago over the St Patrick’s day weekend, with 10 dead (and they call Afghanistan a war zone?). Lord knows how many shootings in Detroit or LA or Oakland. And then I think of over a million people macheted to death in Rwanda about 15 years ago. And then I think of Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) and the cesspool that country has become. And on. And on. And then I start thinking of the common denominator. But there my thinking stops because I am poor at math, especially the fractions part. And instead, I curse our ancestors for not picking their own god-damned cotton.”

The Martin case is about police inaction.
Oh, for Pete’s sake, how many times must we continue to ruminate over the dysfunction of the black community. They have chosen to be the victim cum laud of the white progs-in their aggrandizement of power-and with that the destruction of their “culture” and community. In return they have been allowed to ruin our nation, murder white Americans with relative impunity, threaten our lives, cause societal disruption and corruption without judegment and help destroy American society especially that which white Americans had built.
These asshats have been used by white progs to the point they are slaves to them, but blacks have enjoyed the largesse of the white progs-AA/EEOC, corrupt DOJ, welfare, no-judgement for cultural decline, i.e. rap culture, silent MSM on their degeneration, rap noise, gangsta culture, and trillions of dollars in aid. Even the “smart” ones like Ozero, Cornell West, Mark LaMont Hill (O’really’s favorite alter ego) cannot see the folly of their slavish devotion to white progs.
I don’t care how many blacks kill each other; I don’t care about the ghettos and inner cities; and I don’t care about their dropout rates and illegitimate birth rates, etc.
I am tired of my life and the lives of all non-progressive white Americans being controlled by white progs and blacks. I care about the future of my nation. I care about other white Americans being harmed by the evil that exists in the other side. I care about the traditions, culture and history of my America and Americans. And all I want to know going forward is what can I do to make sure my nation does not die at the hands of white progs and their black muscle.
More Affirmative action anyone?????…………. No!!! thought not.
Blacks are in total 13% of the US population, Black Males 6%, Black ‘youths’, 25 and under, 2-3% yet it is this TINY minority who commit 50% of all the murders and 60% of all the violent crime in the USA. But hush mustn’t mention that its not PC or MC so lets all hide our heads and PRETEND that that is not the TRUTH just like the Lame Stream EneMedia, the Left Wing moonbats and the Race Hustlers do.
there are over 6.6 million violent crimes committed in the US each year…20% are inter-racial crimes. 90% of these 1.3 million inter-racial crimes are black-on-white. That means all other inter-racial crimes are comprised of all other racial combinations. In short, whites are victimes of racial profiling by blacks in overwhelming numbers. 1 in every 175 white people will be a victim of black on white crime this year.
There’s not an elephant in the room….they’re in every room.
The only reason that this sad incident attracted any attention was because of the alleged killer’s name.
The race hustler’s reaction when they heard that an Afro-American was killed by a person named Zimmerman was probably “Jew! Jew! Jew! We’s got ourselves an excuse for a pogrom!” and now they can’t back down without looking like idiots after it turns out that he’s Hispanic.
BINGO.
It is time to question the sanity of a large portion of the minority community, their leaders, and the DEM(agogue) leadership. Are they in such total denial about the horrendous irrational youth culture which results in the high youth murder rate, that they INSANELY JUMP AT THE CHANCE to blame PROFILING by a Hispanic American in rare case of a shooting by a neighborhood watch volunteer? Or is it just cynical politics?

This and the “no snitch” campaign agenda by blacks hampers the LEO and makes catching and convicting these young killers impossible.
The ones in charge seem more concerned other races and colors besides will kill blacks in self defense rather than black on black murder.
Perhaps they just want blacks to come under a different set of laws able to kill, maim, rape and rob without being caught if it involves whites and if it involves blacks then it’s black business and all other races plus whitey needs to get out.
No Snitch, what the hell is that when it’s your family getting killed and robbed?
The “no snitch” campaign can be explained in terms of Critical Race Theory (CRT). According to CRT, what we view as American culture is irredeemably racist in every aspect: the legal system, from the Constitution on down, the government, the economic system with its capitalism, and the school system. I could go on, but you get the idea. In the present case, crime, a citizen of the ‘hood faces a dilemma. Do I protect a Brother who, like me, is a victim of The System, or do I turn him in to The Man, who, for all his talk of seeking justice, is an agent of a racist legal system? The latter case is viewed as little short of treason.
I must confess that what I said about CRT was based on a few minutes of work using Google and Wikipedia. I know more about the Constitution than I know about CRT. It seems to me that there are some in the Administration who know more about CRT then they know about the Constitution.
So The Hispanics reject Zimmerman’s Hispanics and the Blacks reject Obama’s whiteness, All the while the liberal democrats celebrate Obama’s blackness.
I recall George Lopez giving DNA tests to his guest which showed snoop dog had over 40% white genes in fact Snoop was whiter than the other black fellow on the episode/show.
It’s like a white person rejecting their Irishness and celebrating their Scottishness.
the whiter the DNA, the lesser the civil rights….and vice-versa…
hope this helps….
Black on Black crime is part of their culture, you cannot deny them their culture. On the other hand, White on Black crime is not part of our culture.
That’s why trash like Walters doesn’t see it as a problem, she expects and accepts it.
As a former NYC Corrections Officer, I saw first hand “Mans inhumanity to man.”. Most black on black crime mostly occurs between potential inmates; or criminals killing criminals. Ok, so what’s the problem. Only twice in my career did I actually look up what an inmate did to be incarcerated. One was in jail for killing 4 drug dealers and the other one was in for killing a few innocent victims during a robbery attempt. Which of these two men did the greater

Life is indeed to short – but moving to ‘where they aren’t’ doesn’t strike me as a very fair and balanced approach to living the good life.
By the way who are the ’they’ that you are talking about ?
Stupid people are everywhere and right now those among us who are stupid and black – or any variety of hues that make them non-white – think that they have a leg up on the white folk because the have ‘a man in the big white house’! Hey – that is so true and it hurts to see what this commu-crat and his war machine will do if they is not stopped .
Police inaction my ass – try media action in their best light – publish a bucket of racial fiction leaving any facts blowing in the Florida wind.
The black racial overload (even Oby got involved before facts started to emerge) – lead by the typical black elected officials from across the nation always works at explaining that whites just don’t understand how they feel – forget national – here is a thought from my favorite African Bishop – Desmond Tutu of South Africa. “For goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too.”
“How did that work for you in Rwanda Desmond”?
We have a lot of stupidity to rectify before I move anywhere – and my poor father would be turning in his grave at seeing what has become of his beloved Democratic Party and the Automobile Union that he fought so hard to establish !

Oh Father – how wrong you were!
Obama can fix this at the White House…get ready for a “malt liquor summit”…
The racism is not in the noticing of black American violence, the racism is in the apathy and disinterest of the news media in reporting this violence. The blind adherence to political correctness by the ‘old media’ over riding rational and logical thought is mind numbing. The disproportional loss of life via gang violence of young black American males is at epidemic levels. This is tragic and should have no bearing on the racial division exploding in America today… a black vs. white civil war is about to commence in America…
much talk here about black “stupidity.” nobody likes to be called “stupid.”
but truth is truth, and it can hurt.
it is stupid for a black man to bow down before an arab slaver potentate.
stupid for anyone, black or white.
and totally stupid for any american president, black, or white, or 50-50.
I think (don’t know for sure really … but it makes sense for some reason) if Rep Waters from CA or Rep Cleaver representing Kansas City) were to make black on black crime an issue in their districts, they would likely not be re-elected. They know this. What the citizentry of their respective districts want to hear is: We are poor blacks and are being preyed on by unknown persons … and we need more Federal money to correct it.
Waters simply know any better. She’s to interested in her own family’s corrupt wealth gathering to ever be an effective elected official. Cleaver was mayor of Kansas City and understands the problem. If he wants to keep his job, he should just keep doing the same … ignoring the problem.
Now … if I’ve got all this wrong, correct me with some facts.
Now y’all stay safe … by staying outta Kansas City and South Central Los Angeles.
I think you’ve got. The narrative, “We are poor blacks and are being preyed on by unknown persons … and we need more Federal money to correct it,” is what keeps corrupts politicians like Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Danny Davis (D-Il), Jesse Jackson Jr., Sheila Jackson-Lee,, (to name just a few), re-elected over and over again. By promoting multi-generational welfare, an educational system that graduates illiterate youth, gun contol laws insuring criminals are kept armed in the inner city, and encouraging a sense of entitlement and victimization, allows these legislators to continue pursuing their socialist agendas and keeps their pockets lined with “Obama-money”. Yes, I think you have nailed it. However, because we have eyes open and simply describe what we are seeing, they will print “racist” on our foreheads to try and shut us up. Fortunately, that tactic is no longer working.
Here’s a couple of other deaths that escaped national media scrutiny: Jesse Dirkhising and Jeffrey Curley, both at the hands of members of another “favored class.”
I won’t go into detail. If you are interested, you can Google the names and read about them yourself. But if you do, I hope you have a strong stomach.
What’s true for the microcosm: one black killing another black works up to black on black gang warfare and even further up to what I believe is misreported as “RACE riots”! If the phrase was correct you would see ethnic neighborhoods of ALL hues destroyed – especially white neighborhoods since the rhetoric accompanying these events is along the lines of “Evil whites keeping us blacks down.” But, if you look over the shoulders of the reporters you will, almost invariably, see blacks destroying their own neighborhoods! From the 60′s riots and before to the Treyvon debacle.
There was a TV show in the 50′s or 60′s called “Black on Black” that put forth the idea that it’s never been, truly, “RACE wars” but “TRIBAL wars”! That there is a “Tribal” influence throughout humanity, not just among blacks: Celts v Goths – Irish v Scot’s, Cherokee v Sioux AND Zulu v Watusi etc.
What has brought it so far to the front is the breakdown of the “family unit” as mentioned by others here, and especially among what should be black and Hispanic families. Lacking the “Mom, Dad, Sis, brother, aunt, uncle, … tribe” to belong to and defend that “tribal” urge is transferred to the Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings and Norteños to name a few.
Sadly, those who allege to “support” the constituents of their “race” REFUSE to acknowledge the “tribal” aspect and continue to blame OUTSIDE influences that does NOT address the REAL problem and so lead to a solution! The press believes it would loose readership and the “Community Organizers” would loose influence and funding should the situation be truly remedied by addressing the actual causes!
Stirring up tension between groups is the Cloward-Pinen-Obama-Radical-Socialist method of making political ground. That is what this is all about.
This is a quote from Stanley Kurtz’s book ‘Radical-In-Chief’:
As explained in the article Dreier was touting, Cloward and Piven’s strategy went well beyond member voter registration, their plan was to turbo-charge leftist politics by actively provoking conflict. Cloward and Piven expected that government workers doing effectively political registration work at welfare lines would get into trouble. Government employees registering welfare recipients on government property as a way of fighting Ronald Reagan’s budget cuts were sure to be “charged with exploiting their positions and coercing their clients for self-interested and partisan motives.” Cloward and Piven actually wanted to provoke this sort of attack. (emphasis mine) They believed that as soon as attempts were make to rein in politicized welfare workers, their clients would explode in protest, kicking of a massive movement reminiscent of the effort to register southern black voters in the sixties. “Until a registration campaign provokes just this level of conflict,” wrote Cloward and Piven, “all is prologue.
The quote is from p. 50-51.
I am reading ‘Radical-In-Chief’ by Stanley Kurtz. The Democratic party and the ‘black community’ leadership has been co-opted by ‘stealth socialists’. These idiots (Obama being the ‘chief’ among them) believe that fomenting crisis is the way get people to vote for them.
Booker Washington (1856 – 1915) explained that there were many black people that claimed to be ‘black leaders’ that made a name and a place for themselves by convincing blacks that they were helpless. These ‘leaders’ have a vested interest in making sure that blacks remained impoverished. These ‘black leaders’ are still playing this game.
