Racism: The One Way Street

Open Season?
July 16, 2013

Last Sunday, 16-year-old Joseph Brewer Jr., was out for a stroll in Chicago. Friends say he was on his way to visit his 5-month-old daughter.  If Barack Obama had a son, he would look like Joseph. Joseph's brother, 20-year-old Stenson later said, "I just heard some shots and I came running." Joseph was shot multiple times.  He wasn't pounding anyone's head into the pavement or punching them. He was shot in the back while going to see his daughter.  Now he's dead.  I await Al Sharpton's eruption.

Then again, perhaps there's no report of a racial angle to young Joseph's story and so the Reverend Sharpton has elected to conserve his outrage.  How about this one then:  Down in Georgia, Cobb County police have arrested four gang members for beating a 36-year-old-man and then pushing him into oncoming traffic where he was struck by a vehicle and killed.  This murder had a racial angle to it, so I expect Eric Holder will try the case repeatedly until he gets some sort of conviction, no?  No.  The victim was white, his attackers black and so the incident is greeted with the silence that passeth all understanding from those whose ostensible mission in this life is to foster racial harmony. Then again, maybe Nancy Grace is warming up in the wings.

On the evening of July 1st, 18-year-old Lorenzo Young and 18-year-old Troy Stevenson were bored.  They were both awaiting trial down in Walterboro, SC, on charges of everything from first degree burglary to assault and armed robbery.  A circuit judge had let them out on bond though, and there wasn't much to do.  Thugs need adrenalin after all, and so they went to rob a bar, but the back door to the place wouldn't open.  In a nearby bakery, 33-year-old Kelly Hunnewell was preparing bagels.  She became Plan B for our enterprising villains, who entered the kitchen where the mother of four was working, shooting her multiple times and killing her before realizing there was no money in the place.  They, along with an unidentified 16 year old accomplice, fled.  If Barack Obama had three sons, they would look like these young men.  The deceased was white.  I await Jesse Jackson's sober admonishment, and his rhymes too.

During the trial of George Zimmerman, four children were shot to death in Chicago.  Five-year-old Sterling Sims died in a murder that also killed his 31-year-old mother. Police think it was a robbery.

 On July 1st, 16-year-old Antonio Fenner was shot and killed, his body next to that of a man who had gang affiliations.  Damani Henard, 14, died on July 3rd, his body next to a bicycle. On July 9, a man got out of a black van in a neighborhood park and opened fire at some boys.  Ed Cooper, 15, was hit.  He continued running to a vacant lot, where he collapsed and died, his civil rights eternally unquestioned by the NAACP, his visage never gracing the screens of MSNBC, CNN, or Barack Obama's catalogue of lookalike sons.

But see what has happened since the verdict?  A gang of black youths chased down an hispanic man in Baltimore, beating him and kicking him while yelling, "This is for Trayvon."  I hear the Department of Justice is in the market for hate crimes these days, so I hope this will stir their excitable curiosity.  I hope it.  But I doubt it.

 Meanwhile, in California, the forces of tolerance took a hammer to one man's head, stormed a Wal-Mart in Los Angeles, punched people at random, briefly blocked Interstate 880 in Oakland, and otherwise engaged in behavior not seen since winning some sports championship.

Of course, the odds of President Obama or Eric Holder taking on these lawless, semiliterate goons are roughly the same as the odds of them standing up to the goons in the Muslim Brotherhood.  But there does seem to be a synthesis of two things happening here:

First, the definition of Justice in Barack Obama's America has been fundamentally transformed into a doctrine of comeuppance.  America, in the view of the President, the Attorney General and their enthusiasts, has not sufficiently paid for her sins, and so a dose of revenge is in order.  This is done chiefly through classifying certain criminal elements as untouchable.  Members of the New Black Panthers for example, decked out in military regalia and wielding a club so as to intimidate voters at the election polls are, simply, untouchable.  And you'll die of old age before Messrs Obama, Holder, Sharpton, or Jackson hold a rally in support of Sherry West, whose 13-month-old baby was shot in the face and killed by a black teenager in Brunswick, Georgia.

Secondly, looking over these horrific murders, a certain trend emerges.  In each of the incidents listed above, none of the victims fought back.  They were unarmed, and so they died with their reputations intact, unmolested by charges of racism.  It appears that only when someone declines to supinely submit to his beating that the hackles of the racial antagonists are raised.  One deduces that it was the sacred duty of George Zimmerman, a member of a neighborhood watch program, not only to refrain from monitoring the activities of someone he did not recognize following a string of burglaries in the neighborhood, but to politely acquiesce in his own beating, blithely permitting a 5'11' young man to pound his head on the pavement like a cantaloupe.  Apparently, it is only in this way that one can show tolerance and diversity in a post-racial nation. In which case, you may count me as intolerant.  I fight back.

There is much that is lamentable in our society.  An education system that produces people incapable of reading their own diplomas or uttering a single sentence in comprehensible English has yielded little more than lethargic wards of the state.  From young women who are abused by, and yet still swoon to, half-witted thugs, to a music and culture that affirms aberrant and evil behavior, something has gone terribly awry.  After the Zimmerman verdict, one reporter remarked on Twitter that it is now open season on black children, breezily overlooking the fact that the season has been open ever since Margaret Sanger labored and brought forth Planned Parenthood whose abortionists have slaughtered black children by the millions.

It is horrendous and tragic that from Chicago to virtually every other major city where politicians conspire to restrict the right of law abiding citizens to defend themselves, every day is open season on black children.  The sad and inexcusable truth is that if Trayvon Martin had been shot in Chicago, he would have died in obscurity, his death registering not so much as a moment's distraction from a Presidential golf game, nor a blip on the radar screen of the peddlers of racial grievance.

Comments On Racism

If the blacks want to find racism in America, they only need look in the mirror. It is so tiresome that every time a white or light skinned person (I think Zim is Hispanic on mother's side) is involved in a conflict or contest or business deal with a black person the blacks get together and yell racism. Jackson and Sharpton come out of the woodwork for their share of face time, adding to the circus.

They have found that all the noise works for them. The media somehow thinks it's justified, if you are black, to pound a white man's head into the concrete. Whites in charge of things like law enforcement, jobs and government etc. seem to have a huge sense of guilt about that. Or is it just cowardice? They fear losing an election or losing money if they don't kiss black ass and the blacks know it. White people would rather be politically correct than morally correct.

To prove the hypothesis just look at how we whities have painted ourselves into a corner with the muslim/Islam issue. Although we know that all the mosques in America foment our overthrow for the sake of overthrow, we go the politically correct and morally wrong way to deal with it. This action. of course, does more long term harm than good as the noise makers view this PC action as weakness, and rightly so. We are somehow racist if we act or express a desire to prevent our families from being murdered in their sleep.

Little if anything is said when blacks murder blacks in the street, or when muslims kill their daughters for wearing jeans, but God help us if a white person is in the mix.

White In America

BUCHANAN TO OBAMA
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!

I'm for a better America…
I am
Not racist,
Not violent,
Just not silent anymore.
