Instead he reinforced the idiotic memes that bedevil black youth, and thug culture has flourished on his watch. What message did it send when he had Jay Z to the Whitehouse repeatedly?
The entire ridiculous #blacklivesmatter movement is founded on a lie: that somehow blacks are victims of whites all the time. The exact reverse is statistically the truth, but the media does not report these facts, either in the particular, or in the aggregate.
Any individual white-on-black crime becomes a national story, and is used to demonize and indict the entire white race.
The much more frequent black-on-white crime stories and limited to local media coverage, and absolutely no generalizations are made from them.
Even much of the so-called Conservative media is part of this ongoing coverup. John Derbyshire's firing by National Review over posting a quite pithy and moderate piece in response to weeks of provocation about "the talk" that black parents have to give their kids about white cops, that firing was only the most visible symbol of the Conservatism Inc. complicity in the coverup.
It's gratifying that Free Republic has evolved to the point we can at least talk about this. Kudo's to American Thinker for hosting Colin Flaherty's work on the matter.
Now stop hating The Gay Black Man in the White House.
