IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR, THAT MORE BLACKS MAY ACTUALLY BE WAKING UP???

So riddle me this, after decades of allowing themselves to be lead down the primrose path by the Democrats, are there an increasing number of blacks who are finally beginning to wake up to the dire consequences of having done so? And are they finally willing to do whatever it takes, even going so far as to vote Republican, to break the cycle of poverty that has essentially been forced upon by their beloved Democrat Party. And are enough of them finally beginning to realize that slavery does not always involves chains and plantations are not always about cotton? Or, is the data that would seem to indicate that, nothing more than a bunch of malarkey?

CNN’s ‘senior data reporter,’ whatever the Hell that is, Harry Enten said Monday on “New Day” that polling is showing a significant drop in support for Democrats among black voters. Anchor Brianna Keilar said, “New data is showing warning signs for Democrats ahead of the midterms. A key voting group that is considered reliably Democratic does not seem as blue as it once was was. CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten is joining us now. So Harry, as we move into the midterms, here you’re saying we’re seeing movement among a core Democratic group.” Enten said, “Yes, take a look here. This is black voters’ electoral preference in pre-election polling."

And this clown, Enten, went on to say, “Black voters are the core part of the Democratic Party. And as you can see here in the race for Congress, they’re still getting 74 percent support in the pre-election polling right now, but compare that to the final polling for 2020 President and 2018 Congress. Back in 2020, it was 84 percent, 85 percent in 2018. So you’re clearly seeing right here there is less support for Democratic candidates for Congress among African-Americans. You can look at the Republican column as well, and you can see that 12 percent is not exactly high, but that is actually the high watermark. It was 9 percent in 2020 and 9 percent in 2018."

And he said, “So basically, what was a 75, 76-point margin is down in the low 60s. Democrats still well ahead with African-Americans, but in a game in which you’re trying to drive up, the margin, the margin among African Americans for Democrats is clearly down.” Now don’t get me wrong here the lack of Black votes isn’t going to be what causes the Democrats to lose in November. What’s going to cause them to lose is the fact that everything they do, and I do mean EVERY SINGLE THING, hurts average Americans regardless of color, religion, sexual orientation and gender. That is what’s going to cost them in the November midterm elections!

And it would be black men who are leaving the Democrat Party, because they like President Trump. Because President Trump, by creating jobs, gave them the opportunity to prosper and a path for them to gain for themselves a little self-respect. Two things that the Democrats have worked hard to keep from them for decades. And now they’re watching how it is that the Democrats are trying to replace them with all of the illegal immigrants that are being encouraged to come to this country, and beginning to wake up and see this truth. Granted, it’s still way too early to tell if this will actually translate into support for Republicans, but it might.

Maybe, just maybe, blacks are waking up because of how a white Gavin Newsom tried to painted black Larry Elder as a “white supremacist!” Maybe they’re waking up when the mostly white New York Times sends a reporter down to Georgia to declare that Herschel Walker is no longer part of the black community because he’s running as a Republican? Maybe they're waking up because of Joey saying, “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black!” Maybe they’re waking up to how it is that the Democrat Party is openly declaring ownership of black people and pushing policies that see blacks killed in the womb by the thousands and in the streets by the hundreds?

Maybe they're finally waking up to the world of poverty, misery, theft, drug use, and murder that has been created especially for them by the very party that chose to fight a war to keep their fellow human beings as slaves. And now, here we are nearly 160 years later and it’s the same Democrat Party that vehemently supports black genocide through abortion, which disproportionately destroys black lives. Any black who votes for a Democrat is agreeing to be poor the rest of their life. Democrats do nothing to help blacks out of poverty, Democrats only want their votes. President Trump gave them hope and gave them the chance to stand on their own.

And I suspect that while more black men are beginning to see the light, black women are firmly entrenched in their bubble and will, in all likelihood, continue to vote in overwhelming numbers for whatever Democrat they can. But they need to consider how it continues to be the Democrat Party that prevents them from having a strong man in their lives and a dedicated father figure for their children. They need not continue to accept the government’s playing the role of ‘father’ and husband. But as long as the continue to vote for Democrats that can be the only result, because it’s the only result possible in the world created for them by the Democrats.

And blacks need to be asking themselves if after over 60 years of Democrat policies and trillions of dollars spent, how many Blacks are genuinely better off? Has all the ‘free stuff’ the Democrats have continued to provide improved even one life? What is it that the Democrats have done for blacks really? Other than to destroy black families; allow drugs to be easily accessible; reduce law enforcement in black neighborhoods, many of which need that help more than most, made everything more expensive for those who still have to pay for it instead of just taking everything they want; filled them with the self-destructive emotion of anger; and the list goes on.

And mark my words, it’s for the next 30 days we can expect nonstop racial fearmongering from the Democrats and those in our ‘fake news’ media. Blacks have saddled this country with Democrats for too long. In return for their taxpayer funded ‘freebies’ they’ve just about destroyed everything that’s decent in America.  BLM destroyed many cities and spread a toxic ideology throughout the country. Blacks must stop listening to the snake-oil salesmen who claim to have their best interests at heart and start exploring their options. At this point it’s like Donald Trump once said, “what have they got to lose” except perpetual bondage to a self-serving government.

Finally, many times in the past I have opined about how much different this country would look today if blacks had never been brought here in the first place. About how many innocent lives would have been spared, about how trillions of dollars would have never been spent, about how many of our cities wouldn’t be in the condition that they are today, and so very much more. But as the old saying goes, “What’s done, is done!” Blacks need to return to the Republican Party or be made to suffer by their own hand the ugly consequences that continuing to vote Democrat will surely bring to them. Blacks control their destiny and their future is within their control.

BLACKS INSIST UPON BEING THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY…

Very little of what I hear these days, especially when it comes from those on the left, surprises me all that much.  But I must admit every once and a while I do come across something that causes me to take a step back and wonder just how it is that we, as a nation, have managed to fall so far.  I’ve never really considered myself a racist, because I believe what’s on the inside is far more important than what’s on the outside.  But I must admit that those within the black community do make it extremely difficult for the rest of us to offer up any sort of sympathy.  Most of the problems experienced by blacks are brought about by themselves.  And it only serves to make matters worse when those who could offer up some constructive criticism offer up, instead, nothing more than excuses for continuing bad behavior.

And while there are plenty of voices of reason there within the black community, sadly they seem far too few in number, and are rarely, if ever, actually listened to.  It is far more often than not that those voices of reason are simply drowned out by the voices of anarchy, lawlessness, and revolution simply because they are louder and can sound more appealing or even enticing.  Far more attention is paid to those who are far more interested in improving their own stature within the community than they are in what’s best for those within their own community.  And it’s rather unfortunate that the vast majority of blacks are either unable or unwilling to recognize these charlatans for what they really are.  Because if they were ever to do that their fortunes would substantially improve.   

All of which brings me to Ms. Chanelle Helm.  Now if you are unfamiliar with this genius, Ms. Helm is a cofounder and lead organizer for the ‘Black Lives Matter’ (BLM) chapter in Louisville, Kentucky.  And it’s as such that she has some very specific, albeit somewhat racist, ideas regarding white people and even came up with a list of 10 requests that were published at 'Leo Weekly'.  Helm said she’s been thinking about what should change in America and the voice inside her head sounded like “that Southern, black grandmama voice.”  Her list could be summed up like this: Dear white people, you should give away your home and/or property to a black or brown family in need.  She even goes as far as to say whites need to reprioritize their monthly budgets to include donations to blacks so they can purchase land.

So without further ado, here are the first six items on her list:

1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

The last four descend into profanity and racism, not to mention illiteracy, so you will simply have to consider the source.  This is also the point at which all hope for taking this even remotely seriously goes completely out the window.  Helm thinks nosy white women should get their racist coworkers and bosses fired and if need be, use physical violence to fight white supremacy:

7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the fuck they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

In a sense I think Ms. Helm represents much of what’s wrong within the black community today.  You see she thinks that black people shouldn’t be expected to work for those things they want, they should, instead, simply be provided with all manner of freebies and all paid for by whitey.  Now I realize that to expect blacks to actually work for a living and to also take some level of responsibility for their lives opens oneself up to being called a racist.  And while I am not a racist, what I am is someone who has become rather fed up with sending off more and more of my hard earned money to the government only to then watch as it handed over to those who view themselves as being above having to work for a living.  If it’s good enough for me, it should be good enough for them as well.     

And in all honesty I think that Ms. Helm is, in reality, likely to be someone who is simply trying make a name for herself!  But there’s no doubt that she’s a racist.  I’ve always found it a bit odd whenever I hear blacks make the claim that they can’t possibly be racist because they’re black.  But I have to say, some of the most racist people I’ve ever met are nearly always black.  My descendants came to this country after slavery came to an end, so neither I nor they had anything to do with it.  I have worked hard my entire life, and I spent over 20 years in the military.  And as far as I’m concerned the United States is the BEST country in the world and I consider myself blessed to live here.  If she had any brains, and genuinely cared about black folks, she’d recognize that as well.

However, the bottom line here is that the left has become quite adept, over the years, at using idiots like Ms. Helm as they go about their continuing effort to create and foment all manner of unrest and seek new and more effective ways to further divide the people of this country which they view as being a crucial political tactic and one that results in making it much easier for them to accomplish their rather sinister goals.  These useful idiots seek to either completely erase or, failing to accomplish that, thoroughly rewrite important chapters of our history and to alter our culture to the point where it would be nearly unrecognizable to past generations.  It is all part of the master plan to replace our government with that ever elusive Marxist utopia that they have been chasing now for decades.    

But one thing I actually do tend to agree with, and is something I hear those like Ms. Helm talking about quite frequently, is the concept of reparations.  But I have a slightly different take on the topic than does she and others like her.  I call it ‘reverse reparations’.  Because, you see, it’s to my way of thinking that all those millions of freeloaders out there who have been sponging off the taxpayers for decades, now owe those same U.S. taxpayers roughly $20 Trillion!  And that not just some arbitrary amount, that would be the amount that has been spent over the last 50 years in the effort to erase poverty.  You know those folks who while identified as living in poverty still own 2 color TVs, a couple of cars, smoke cigarettes, drink booze and pay for strippers all while using other people's money.

There has been for many years now this cockamamie sense of entitlement that becomes ingrained in some almost instantaneously upon leaving the womb, and it has got to come to an end.  Our welfare system created this mess.  Entitlements only cause harm to everyone.  The people paying for them get robbed, and the people on the receiving end get taught that they don't need a work ethic.  And let’s be real, blacks could dispossess every affluent white person of their property and distribute it to impoverished or struggling black people and within 20 years or less, those same white people would be affluent again, and the black people would be impoverished again.  Transferring wealth doesn't create success.  Only education and hard work can increase the odds of one becoming a bona fide success in America.

This ‘Black Lives Matter’ mentality as exhibited by Ms. Helm, is really nothing more than yet another dead end for blacks.  Nothing beats a good education and a solid work ethic to create the best opportunity for success.  People who complain about Trump's father giving him everything miss the point. The best thing Trump's father did was to teach his son about business, not give him money to begin his business.  Without those skills a person would quickly lose their inheritance and never be able to regain it.  On the other hand, someone who learns a skill, that person will be able to start from nothing and continue to move up the ladder.  As they take risks, they may slip along the way but with perseverance and hard work to go along with those skills, will be able to recover and continue climbing.

That process becomes more difficult when there is nobody to help a child learn a skill or a business, either at home or at school.  Our schools don't even bother teaching kids how to balance a checkbook let alone teach a skills or the habits that will help create a self-sufficient adult.  Why is that?  Because ‘progressives’ have run the schools for the last half century.  They teach black kids that they will have to work twice as hard to get half as far, that society is against them and that half the country is racist.  If you were taught that in lieu of how to become a responsible adult, would you bother trying in school and take it upon yourself to learn a skill or would you be more likely to give up, drop out, and try to destroy society?  Our society is reaping the results of ‘progressive’ ideology with no plan B in sight.

Look, it’s never a good idea to create a sense of entitlement in humans, it’s a bad idea right from the start.  Because there is no respect or real appreciation for those things that come too easily.  Just look at the people who get everything for ‘free’. For example, when was the last time you saw public housing?  There is nothing wrong with a little tough love!  In America today the opportunities out there to become successful are limitless.  One need only to get off the couch, get off welfare, make it their everyday job to FIND A JOB and then plan for their future accordingly.  The opportunities are there, you just have to want it bad enough.  But it's now been made so easy to do nothing and to get paid for it that so many people, and not just blacks, now seem genetically predisposed to being lazy.

MAYBE IT’S TIME TO TRY SOMETHING NEW…

For over 150 years now there has been going on here in the United States the conducting of a rather interesting little experiment.  And those involved in this experiment are blacks and working-class whites.  And the hypothesis being tested is as follows:  Can a people who have been taken from the jungles of Africa and then forced into slavery ever able to be fully integrated as citizens in a nation with a majority white population?  The whites are descendants of Europeans who created for themselves a prosperous, innovative and resourceful civilization.  Meanwhile, these former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.  Acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors.  America has struggled with varying degrees of racial discord pretty much ever since.

Decade after decade the problems persisted but those behind the experiment refused to give up.  They insisted that if they could just find the right formula the experiment would eventually succeed, and therefore they concocted program after program in an effort to get their desired result.  They created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and even tried midnight basketball.  Their new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have otherwise been unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to black schools and vice versa.  Attempts were made through the spending of vast amounts of taxpayer money, all manner of special programs, the relaxing of requirement, and, of course, endless handwringing to close the “achievement gap.” 

And in an effort to keep any and all white backlash in check, to the greatest extent possible, they began ‘punishing’ public and even private statements on race.  They hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No to Racism.”  Nothing was deemed to be off limits if it might salvage the experiment.  Some thought that what W.E.B. Du Bois called the Talented Tenth would lead the way for black people.  A group of elite, educated blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable of.  There is a Talented Tenth. They are the black Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists.   But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability.  That is what’s been missing.

However, through the years, too many blacks have continued to demonstrate a complete inability to function and prosper at any meaningful level in a culture unsuited to them.  Detroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and the vast majority of black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And it is never that you will see blacks taking any level of responsibility for their failures.  Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment, always blaming others for their misfortune.  Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away. The white elite insist upon telling us that this does not mean the experiment has failed, it only proves that we have to try harder.  We just need to spend even more money, waste even more time, possess more understanding, create even more programs, ensure there are more opportunities, more, more, more.

But no matter how much more money is ever spent, no matter how many new programs are dreamt up, no matter how many more laws are forced down the throats of the American people, no matter how many black geniuses are portrayed on television, and, apparently, no matter who is our president, nothing ever seems to change except for the worse.  Some argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around.  Others blame “white privilege.”  But I think it’s obvious that things began to go south in 1965, when LBJ’s made the promise that he’d have blacks in this country voting Democrat for the next 200 years.  Because it was then that the slow painful death of the black family in America began which has played a very big part in why it is that black “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime.  So before things will improve for blacks in any meaningful way, it is they who must first genuinely want things to change.

So while I hate to be the one to break the news, there is little doubt that this decades old experiment been pretty much been nothing but an abject failure.  Not because of culture, or white privilege, or even racism. The fundamental problem is that white people and black people are different. They differ intellectually and temperamentally. These differences result in a certain amount of social incompatibility.  Our rulers don’t seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment. They don’t understand that white people aren’t out to get black people; they are simply exhausted with them. They’re no longer willing to tolerate the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity.  The elites explain everything with “racism,” and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.

CHARLOTTE, LIKE A BROKEN RECORD…

There they go again.  But then it’s some we’ve seen too much of, 24/7 ‘news’ coverage of rampaging Negroes as they go about destroying their own city, and because of what?   Well, that would be because another black male couldn’t bring himself to do something as basic as what he was told to do by the police.  And you have to wonder, what is it about blacks that makes them so adverse to authority?  And then others have the nerve to claim racism when something tragic happens that is entirely the fault of the individual who left police officers with no other alternative than to defend themselves.  It simply makes no sense to me.  

So I can only assume that the end game here if we’re using places like Ferguson, Missouri as well as Baltimore, Milwaukee, Baton Rouge and now Charlotte, North Carolina as our examples, it’s that blacks are now to be allowed to do whatever it is that they wish to do and that police should now focus all of their attention only on us white folks.  I mean, what other conclusion can anyone possibly come to?  Charlotte is but the most recent examples where rampaging blacks have essentially been permitted to run free, allowed to loot and destroy personal property at will with very few, if any, ever being arrested.

These new riots in Charlotte, which some have actually chosen to describe using the much more benign nomenclature of ‘protests’, resulted following Tuesday afternoon's fatal shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott by a black police officer.  The city has a population of roughly 830,000 people and blacks make up about 35 percent of that population.  Now some folks may remember that the city managed to pull itself through a racially charged shooting three years ago without the unrest that had erupted in recent years in places such as Baltimore, Milwaukee and Ferguson, Missouri.

In 2013, Charlotte police charged one of their own, Randall Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter within days, after the white officer shot an unarmed black man who had been in a wreck and was looking for help.  And while the jury deadlocked and the charge was dropped last summer, the city saw only a few protests but no violence.   Sadly this time around it’s a much different story with many blacks simply being unable to control their inner thug.  Or perhaps they simply saw it as an opportunity to go on a ‘shopping’ spree, of sorts, to see just how much ‘free stuff’ they could ‘acquire’ for themselves with no fear of being arrested.

On Wednesday hundreds of rioters who were shouting "black lives matter" and "hands up, don't shoot". Authorities said three people and four police officers were injured, but those figures had not been updated early Thursday morning. The violence happened amid questions about what happened when Scott was shot and killed in the parking lot of his condominium complex.  Police did not release dashboard or body camera footage, but said Scott had a gun and refused several orders to drop his weapon.  And as is usually the case in such situations, Scott's family and neighbors said he had only been holding a book.

And in describing one version of the incident Taheshia Williams (obviously a black female), whose balcony overlooks the shady parking spot where Scott was Tuesday afternoon, said, "He got out of his car, he walked back to comply, and all his compliance did was get him murdered."  She said he often waited there for his son because a bicycle accident several years ago left him stuttering and susceptible to seizures if he stayed out in the hot sun too long.  So once again we’re to believe that some poor innocent black man, just minding his own bidness was simply gunned down by some trigger happy cop.  A black cop.

Distrust of the police continued after Wednesday's shooting of a protester.  Many demonstrators did not believe city officials' assertion that officers had not shot the protester.  "We protesting. Why the hell would we target each other?" Dino Davis said. "They say it was the tear gas, and it looked like one the tear gas exploded. But I think it was a rubber bullet because some of those rubber bullets can penetrate."  “We protesting?”  I guess that’s how these morons describe throwing bricks and rocks at police and looting and destroying the private property of those who played absolutely no part in the death of this black man, Mr. Scott. 

Police said the plainsclothes officer who shot Scott, identified as Brently Vinson, has been placed on leave, standard procedure in such cases. Three uniformed officers at the shooting scene had body cameras, but police said Vinson did not.  Calls for police to release the video have increased. North Carolina has a law that takes effect October 1 which requires a judge to approve releasing police video.  But the police department don't release videos when criminal investigations are ongoing.  But according to John Barnett, that video may be the only thing that calms Charlotte. Barnett runs a ‘civil rights’ group called ‘True Healing Under God’, or THUG.

And it was this guy, Barnett, who went on say, "Just telling us this is still under investigation is not good enough for the windows of the Wal-Mart."  Now how ignorant of a statement is that?  Such a statement makes pretty clear what this guy’s motive is for being on the scene.  I think we can all assume why he’s there and it sure isn’t to try to infuse any reason into this crowd of hate filled losers.  It’s people like this guy who are really nothing more than Al ‘Not So’ Sharpton wannabes.  Let’s face it, the fact that the name of his organization is ‘THUG’ pretty much tells me all I need to know about him. 

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Kerr Putney confirmed that investigators discovered a handgun at the scene, but not a book, according to the property sheet of items recovered at the scene.  It was during a press conference about the shooting on Wednesday morning that he said, “I can tell you a weapon was seized, a handgun. I can also tell you that we did not find a book.”  And according to Putney, Scott was spotted by law enforcement in a vehicle with a handgun. Officers ordered Scott to drop the weapon and exit the vehicle but he refused, exiting the vehicle armed with his handgun and ignoring orders to disarm.

Officer Vinson, a black police officer, shot Scott in response to the perceived threat and officers immediately gave him medical attention before medical teams arrived.  Putney urged the people of Charlotte to stand up for the facts of the investigation, and fight the alternative narrative that was being spread on social media after the shooting.  He said, “It’s time for the voiceless majority to stand up and be heard. It’s time to change the narrative.”  And added, “Because I can tell you from the facts that the story is a little bit different as to how it’s been portrayed so far, especially through social media.”  Few appeared to have been listening.

So what we’re really seeing in Charlotte is rioting, looting, vandalism, and assault and all for fun and profit with no real justification required.  Look at some of the video and you’ll see few who are genuinely angry, many are laughing and whooping it up, having a grand old time trashing their own neighborhood and committing felonies with impunity.  Need some new sneakers or a new flat screen?  Here’s your perfect opportunity.  These protesters are not protesting racial injustice by racist cops. They don't care if the man who shot him was Black or White.  And I doubt whether they even care if he had a book or a gun.

And "hands up don't shoot" didn't happen either, but the media isn't making amends for promoting that narrative and falsely accusing the police.  They promote these rioters by giving them press coverage and a voice without calling them out about the false narrative.  I watched some of the goings on last night on Fox News as their man on the street was giving these people entirely too much airtime to spew their nonsense.  I have to wonder just how long such idiocy would continue if those in the media would forgo, for the good of the country, their need for ratings and simply refuse to televise the antics of these animals.    

And I can’t help but wonder just how many young, innocent blacks were killed by other blacks in the city of Chicago during the same span of time that these malcontents have been allowed to rampage for the very simple reason that we have yet another black male who is now dead for no other reason than because he couldn’t bring himself to follow the orders of the police.  All this man had to do was to do what he was told to do.  Let’s face it, the most dangerous thing to a black man in America is another black man.  Police shootings of blacks is down, not up. 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and trying to look for a different end result. How many times will it take before blacks in this country come to understand that when a law enforcer asks you to put your hands up and stand still that for your wellbeing as well as the officer, you DO IT!  It's the same scenario every single time. We all have choices to make in our life, and we alone are responsible to the outcomes, not anyone else. Police are trained to protect and serve. We are not!  That means even though we may not see what they see, it doesn't mean we are right and they are wrong.

All I see it, what we have here are the same people who insist upon being stupid enough to keep trying to take on the police and losing and then attempting to blame everyone but themselves. And I’m getting so tired of this crap. There have been great people come out of these very same cities because they were raised to be respectful and appreciative individuals who knew your actions and words determine where it is that you will end up in life.  As I watch coverage of these riots I don't see that, all I see are a bunch of whiny brats with their hands out or wanting to take from others without putting any effort to help themselves or others.

MORE GOOD ADVICE GIVEN TO BLACKS THAT WILL LIKELY GO UNHEEDED…

I’ve always said, that as a white guy looking in, it was rather obvious to me that blacks in this country are essentially their own worst enemy.  And every now and again there’s someone who comes along that kind of agrees with me.  Take for example Colin Kaepernick’s outrageous accusation that the United States is a country that oppresses people of color.  And in using Kaepernick as our example, I think it’s worth talking about an interview that Charles Barkley recently gave to a local Philadelphia radio station.  Because it was during that interview that Barkley stated that “unintelligent,” “brainwashed” African-Americans, and not whites or cops, are the ones keeping successful blacks down. 

Now apparently what started Barkley off in making his comments is the fact that he was posed a question on the radio show ‘Afternoons with Anthony Gargano and Rob Ellis’ about a rumor that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was being accused by his teammates of not being “black enough.”   Barkley responded by saying, “Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.”  It may be coming out, but it’s not likely to amount to much.

He went on to say, “One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.”  Barkley concluded by saying, “There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success, It’s best to knock a successful black person down because they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful…We’re the only ethnic group who say, ‘Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’ It’s just typical BS that goes on when you’re black, man.”

And really what he’s saying here is nothing new.  I’ve heard the same thing said by any number of prominent blacks, and yet those within the black community continue to ignore any advice intended to help, preferring instead to blame everything on whitey and the cops.  I guess it's just easier to play the victim role than show even the smallest amount of personal responsibility.  Those trying to help are called Uncle Tom and business goes on as usual.  It’s just too much ‘work’ to do anything else. And let’s be honest, there are simply not enough black leaders saying this same thing.  And I’ve always thought it rather strange, even sad, that we have never really heard such a critique come from our first black president!

But sad fact is Barkley is absolutely correct, and there are many people who would actually agree with him.  But they seem to be pretty severely outnumbered by those who declare that what we REALLY need is to have a "dialogue" about racial issues, the translation of which is that they want to bash white people and the history of race in America without actually having to deal with any of the issues that Barkley is talking about.  Black people will never improve their social position until they can decide for themselves to address those issues that are so desperately in need of being addressed.  And quite frankly, I just don’t see that taking place any time soon.  Because there is no will to do it.  It’s all just too damn hard! 

It's the Democrats who perpetuate this sentiment by legitimizing every single harmful behavior and telling blacks they are right even when they so very clearly are not.  The result is that they never advance and they never recover, and are in an unbreakable cycle of dependency.  They continue to depend upon Democrats to keep supporting them.  But all they have done for the past fifty years is provide chin music and supportive lip service in exchange for their signatures in blood as a voting block.  And what the Democrat Party had managed to do is both diabolical in its brilliance, and has never been done before.  They have, over time, brainwashed an entire race of people into demanding slavery, as both an entitlement and as a right.

THERE’S STUPID, AND THEN THERE’S ‘REALLY’ STUPID…

THIS IS WHAT STUPID LOOKS LIKE

Well, it would appear that there are stupid people and then there are REALLY stupid people.  And one of those REALLY stupid people is a guy by the name of Aaron Goggans.  Mr. Goggans is, or so I’m told, the core organizer of Black Lives Matter, DC, and it’s according to Mr. Goggans that black-on-black crime is nothing more than a myth.  At least that’s what he told CNN’s Carol Costello during an appearance on the network this past Thursday.  So yes, he’s REALLY stupid!

It was in responding to a video that former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis had posted earlier in the week in which he called for removing guns from the streets as a key part of solving the problem of black-on-black crime, that Mr. Goggans made his rather idiotic comments.  Goggans said, “It’s important to talk about the myth of black-on-black crime as just that — a myth.”  And he added, “Any Google search of the term comes up with a lot of different articles.”

“So, Ray Lewis is wrong?” interjected Costello.  To which this genius Goggans responded that “Ray Lewis is talking about a lot of myths and preconceptions about what the [Black Lives Matter] movement is.  He went on to say, “Intercommunity crime happens in all communities across the country, and it is a problem that the movement of Black Lives is focusing on,” he added. “The movement of black lives is also focusing on state sanctioned violence. It’s a different thing.”

And it was then this moron said, “It’s not just a few white cops killing a few unarmed black men. It’s actually the state systematically creating up systems that are killing black people, both black women, black children, black queer, black men, black trans and black gender non-conforming folks.”  Huh?  You know, these people just never cease to amaze me, just when I think I’ve heard all the crazy shit I could ever here, along comes a guy like Mr. Goggans to prove me wrong.

But look, I think we are all able to recognize the fact that Barry and the Democrat Party DEPEND, and quite substantially, on stupid people in order to remain in power.  I once thought that because of such things as the fact that black unemployment remains high that blacks would eventually start to wise up?  But that hasn’t been the case, it’s almost as if they would rather not work, preferring to simply live off the rest of us.  That’s not being racist, that’s just how it seems.

People like this guy remind me of those idiots who do stupid crap behind on-scene reporters. And it’s just like those morons, this moron gets on TV and sounds like the complete imbecile that he so very obviously is. The BLM is nothing but a modern day minstrel show which is designed to do exactly what Goggans is doing, make black people look and sound foolish. As if many of them needed any help in that area.  It would seem we have a real life ‘Stepin Fetchit’ in our midst.

BLACKS CONTINUE TO BE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY…

As happens at the end of every month, we’ve once again been told the employment situation in this country is the best it’s been in years.  And all thanks to that economic genius, Barack Hussein Obama.  If only it were so.  So, earlier today we were told that even though the economy supposedly added jobs and the national unemployment rate remained relatively unchanged, the Black unemployment rate still sat at being more than twice as high as the White unemployment rate and nearly double the national unemployment rate.  For March the unemployment rate among Blacks was said to be 9.0 percent while among whites it supposed to be 4.3 percent.

And in keeping with the longer-term trend, the unemployment rate among teens was said to be triple the national unemployment rate with teenagers aged 16-19 experiencing an unemployment rate of nearly 16 percent. We were told that white teens had an unemployment rate of 13.9 percent while black teen unemployment was 25.3 percent and Hispanic teens had an unemployment rate of 15.6 percent. But look, can we all agree that these supposed unemployment numbers that come from the government at the end of every month are little more than examples of what are, in all likelihood, nothing more than the purest form of government fiction? 

These numbers on which the health and wellbeing of our economy are supposed based are, and have been for the last seven years, completely bogus and will remain so until such time as those who have forever left the work force out of frustration are finally once again counted among those who comprise the unemployed.  Regarding the issue of black unemployment, as an example fewer than 50% of Detroit’s black students finish high school and over 35% of young black men in that city have arrest/prison records. As an employer, how anxious would one be to hire either?  Studies have shown, over and over, that it has nothing to do with race discrimination. 

So yeah, it's all because of their skin color and not their language, education, dress, hygiene, work history, or criminal record.  There are plenty of people of all races that are as a lazy as pet pigs and will ride the unemployment horse until it finally drops dead. They simply don’t see any need to work as long as they’re getting a nice fat check covered by their friendly neighborhood taxpayers. They will contact employers with no intent of actually working. They work the system like the able bodied people that feign illness to qualify for disability benefits. It is a broken system and there are those who are expert at manipulating that system.

And if we can put all of the idiotic political correctness aside, there are very definable real life reasons for these figures.  And my message to Black America is one that says it’s going to be up to you to turn these figures around because it’s only you who can fix them.  What’s going to be required is for you to look in the mirror and then start at the ground floor of the appalling culture which you have created and then begin to work your way up.  Whitey did not do it you, you did it to yourself.  You need to come to your senses, politically speaking, and start voting for those who see the importance of making it possible for citizens to become less dependent on government.

Black America, with much assistance coming from the Democrat Party, created the pig wallow, but the time has now come to drain the swamp and create a new, more responsible society and abandon the hyphenated values, and commit to becoming a supporter of American values. We have tried it your way in the pig sty and it simply doesn’t work, so try joining the United States of America for a change.  Heck even the Illegals get that message and are surpassing Black America and their broken failed society that they want to blame on everyone else except Black America who is responsible for what has become a failed society by its own destructive hand.

The bottom line here is that the time has now come to grow up and take responsibility for the disaster that black culture has become. The sad truth is that blacks have been convinced into becoming their own worst enemies.  They continue to support a political party that does nothing more than to make allowances for their bad behavior.  Blacks should expect nothing to change for the better as long as they refuse to face the reality of what are essentially their own homegrown problems. Their fate as a people lies in their own hands, not with a political party that does little more than to make empty promises in exchange for their votes.

BALTIMORE, IGNORANCE ON PARADE…

During large rally, just yesterday, there in front of Baltimore’s City Hall, it was some imbecile introduced as “Brother Rose,” who, in a winding and sometimes rather incoherent speech, reminiscent of what we heard from Michael Brown’s stepdad in reference to Ferguson, Missouri, praised the burning of a CVS store at the corner of Pennsylvania and North Avenues. “America didn’t care until we started affecting things they profit from… What we saying, ‘Let’s get you out of our communities.’”

This moron went on to say, “Without us running (unintelligible) Mondawmin Mall [the site of mass looting on Monday], taking back from the stores that have taken our dollars for how long, and not giving back to the community in any type of way. We made a statement. The world heard us then. They heard that the youth of Baltimore are going to get justice by any means necessary.”  Now don’t you have wonder, at least a little bit, about the intelligence, or lack of, of such an individual?

But this boob didn’t stop there, because he also advocated shutting down restaurants and businesses that were protecting their investments. “If they protected themselves against you, protect yourselves against them. Don’t spend your money there. Don’t give them no reason to be in your neighborhood. Kick them out.”  Now, it was unclear how his grand plan would allow neighborhood residents to get desperately needed goods and services, but I can only assume he must not see that as being a problem.
