Code of silence corrodes morality, puts blacks at risk

The code of silence has coarsened black culture, especially in low-income communities, both rural and urban.

Very, very true. I can't believe Bill Maxwell, a first class black victimologist, wrote this. Maybe common sense is breaking out among blacks, since the biggest killer of blacks is...other blacks. It's an entire ethnic group living in servitude to their thug population.

Whites have an abundant number of thugs, but we hate them. Blacks have got to start hating their own thugs too.

So tragicly true.

White tax attorney?

“By trying to help the officers, Keen, Roundtree and Dodson showed, in the eyes of many, that they are not ‘authentically black.’”
Attacking an act of kindness certainly does nothing for the public image of such people.

“Why do you think all the nations of Africa have been such shining examples of progress?”
Don’t forget Haiti.

Bill makes sense about once every five years...

White tax attorney?

Nope. She's black, too. And an outspoken critic of the Kenyan (that's what she calls him.)

“The Leningrad Times?”

Saint Petersburg, Russia was formerly known as Leningrad while under communist rule, from 1924–1991. As a lifelong resident of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area, I have always referred to the St. Petersburg Times as the “Leningrad Times” or “Pravda West”. It properly reflects the fact that this newspaper/bird cage liner has never met a tax it didn’t like, and promotes the socialist policies of the Poynter Institute that owns it.

In short, they suck...but that’s just my humble opinion.

I wish the black communities would all adopt the words of the black man in New York who helped stop the terrorist bombing. He said “If you see something, say something.” Too many are still following the “Stop Snitching” nonsense. And that group is certified idiots.

Their sin, considered by many to be perhaps the worst in American black culture, was helping "the enemy" — the police. You are guilty of helping the enemy in two main ways: You give the police, or another authority, information about a black person who has committed or is suspected of having committed a crime, which is "snitching." Or, as is the case with the three women, you physically aid and comfort police in distress, which is treated the same as snitching.

Therein lies the root of the decay of black culture. Sure, many years ago, there was the danger of black people being charged for crimes they didn't commit, but it didn't happen to ALL black people. Sadly, though, there developed an attitude toward the police that made it impossible for the officers to HELP black people when they're victimized by their own, or anyone else, for that matter.

The attitude gravitated to education, so now if young black people truly WANT a good education, they're made to feel as if they're traitors to their race. This keeps a large number of blacks in abject poverty, thus vulnerable to their own criminals who they're loathe to 'betray'.

Anyway, he told me that he has been estranged from the majority of his extended family, and even one of his siblings because of his success. They can't stand the fact that he lives in an affluent suburb, lives in a $400,000 house and is married to a tax attorney.

Sadly, some poor whites have the same attitudes in this regard.

[livius]

That’s true. I actually recall reading something else good by him...hey, maybe it was about five years ago!

What irritates me worst about the code of omerta as practiced in the hood are the complaints of the African American community about open air drug markets, prostitution and other vice rampant in their neighborhoods.

Here in Pittsburgh, black leaders will complain that the city wouldn’t allow the kinds of shenanigans that go on in Homewood and Larimer to go on in Squirrel Hill (an affluent mostly white community here) for a minute.

But obviously if they insist on not snitching on their miscreant neighbors, the city can’t do anything about it. The folks in Squirrel Hill would confront it and call the police and snitch.

I do not understand why blacks overwhelmingly supported and continue that suopport when Obamma has pushed abortion to the top of his list.
He is pushing homosexuality too.
A couple issues many blacks do not agree with.
Still they side with him simply because he is black.
I have lost faith in the goodness of blacks.

[RushLake]

I do not mean to be confrontational with you. The answer to your question is, I think, that africanhyphenamericans vote ahyphena period. Glenn Beck has suggested, correctly I think, that so called liberation theology (i.e. Jeremiah Wright, Jesse, Al Sharpton, et al) which promotes the idea of taking from those who have and returning their wealth to its "rightful owners", is the driver behind most ahyphena's political decisions above all else. Its a pragmatic approach on their part.

Mooslimes also take a pragmatic approach. Their overwhelming hatred for all people other than themselves drives them to support the party of homosexuality, special rights for certain minorities who are "Christian", etc. The 'rat party is a vehicle for them all to coalesce around in order to achieve their higher goals.

RushLake,
Please tell your son CPL RushLake, USMC. that we pray for him and all our military each and every day.
Tell him he is a hero and thanks.

[Chickensoup]

Terrific. It is refreshing to meet people who are not caught in the expected way to be.
