ANALYSIS/OPINION:

 

I know of no white person alive today in the United States who

has ever legally owned a black slave, or any slave for that matter.

Almost 700,000 mostly white men died 160 years ago to

end slavery. Jim Crow ended generations ago. Yet blackAmerica,

for the most part, is still locked in inner-city gang violence and

economic hardship. Why?

Is it because America is racist? 

Is it because of some overhanging white supremacy? 

Is it because of the Illuminati?

No, unfortunately, it is because of black culture and the

adoption of Democratic Party government dependency. 

We have just had eight years of the first black president. 

Black athletes, and entertainers, routinely earn multi-million 

dollar incomes. I can easily name several black billionaires

without even trying too hard. A large percentage of black

America is very successful. But, it is not enough. Too many

black youth are being left behind.

And it is no one but blackAmerica’s fault. 

No one can solve this problem but black America. 

No one can throw enough money at it.  We’ve tried that. 

Black America needs to look in the mirror and stop blaming

others, especially white people.

I am obviously white and conservative, and I served in the

military, which, during my time, was as color blind as you

could be. I can also honestly say I don’t give a damn what

color your skin is, neither do any of my friends. 

I do care about your actions. 

Blacks are around 15 percent of the population. Depending on

what study you look at, they commit around 40 percent to 50 

percent of violent crime inAmerica. Of course, there is going

to be a problem with police.  And, of course, there are some

bad policemen. However, those bad apples do not kill black

people statistically any more than they kill white people. 

Even Harvard said that recently. If you were a cop, and you 

had to work in a neighborhood infested with crime and murder,

wouldn’t you act differently than in a neighborhood where

there was little crime? The most effective thing black America

could do to improve its relationship with police is to

significantly reduce violent crime where they live. Yes, that

means change the culture of where you live and your community. 

I for one am tired of being blamed. 

I am tired of dealing with people who only want something

from others.  I don’t oppress anyone.  I don’t hold anyone down. 

I’m tired of getting on the D.C. metro and seeing white people

being harassed by roaming gangs of black youth with their

pants around their knees.  Yes, you want a white person

uncomfortable?  That makes me uncomfortable. 

It’s our nation’s capital and it’s embarrassing. 

Blacks have nothing but opportunity in America. 

Try finding the same opportunity anywhere else in the world. 

If you are born in Americayou’ve won life’s economic lottery. 

Take advantage of it. 

The problem is this generation has been taught an agenda of

cultural Marxism by our education system.  They’ve been taught

to be a victim, and it’s still going on.  All you have to do is watch

the young black, female student at Yale screaming at the

college president to understand that.  Blacks in America don’t 

even know how good they got it.

Don’t kneel when my anthem is played. 

Too many people died for that flag. 

You are free to protest but not then.  I am free to not watch,

or pay to watch you play if you do that.  The NFL should make

it a rule that you stand for the national anthem.  There is no

free speech to disobey a private employer on private property. 

This would solve the problem immediately.

The NFL has deeply offended most of America. 

They will pay an economic and reputational price, as they should.

We have a real cultural problem in this country, the result

of the Leftist multicultural agenda.  Multi-ethnicity is perfect

and should be encouraged.  Having more than one American

culture is destroying the country.  But then again, that is

what the Left wants.

 

Do Black Lives Matter

It is your job to determine if this is a racist rant or just

a review of factual data...

 

WHAT IF ALL THE BLACKS SUDDENLY LEFT AMERICA,
WHICH IS 13.3% OF THE TOTAL U.S.POPULATION:

Amount of people in poverty would drop - 34%
The prison population would go down by -37%
Welfare recipients would go down by - - - 42%
Gang members would go down by - - - - - 53%
Chlamydia cases would go down - - - - - - 54%
Homelessness would go down - - - - - - - -57%
Syphilis would go down  - - - - - - - - - - - - 58%
AIDS & HIV would go down by - - - - - - - -65%
Gonorrhea would go down - - - - - - - - - - -69%
Average ACT scores would go UP - - - - - 5.5 points
Average IQ would go UP - - - - - - - - - - - -7.4 points,
putting us 3rd in the world tied with Japan,

Average SAT scores would go UP almost - - - - -100 points,

The average income for Americans would go UP over $20,000 a year,

 

BUT DEMOCRATS WOULD LOSE 76% OF THEIR VOTING BASE!!!

And, many criminal defense attorneys would have to find

another line of work!

 

Yes, Black lives DO matter!
