Can anyone read this and still wonder why Harlem re-elected Charles Rangel. Why Maxine Waters and others in the CBC get re-elected?
Why Obama carried 95% of the black vote?
This guy killed 2 Police Officers and is involved in 3 other homicides. Probably black on black homicides.
They would rather have a killer amongst them than have another black in prison.
I don’t feel bad at all about deaths in the black community, It is what they vote for when they refuse to identify killers. I don’t feel bad about the drugs there. It is what they vote for when the Grandmothers accept the drug money from Grandkids.
When a black criminal is placed in prison he becomes a statistic to be used to show that Whitey just want to imprison blacks. The fact that they are committing the great majority of crimes does not get spoken of when that statistic is used. The fact that most of these crimes are croimes committed in black neighborhoods,agains black people seems not to matter to them.
Exactly!
These three women showed humanity and the right instincts. They show promise as the kind of people that can possibly help heal the great racial divide liberals have manufactured. But by the time their "community" gets done beating and ostracizing them they will be firmly back on the plantation.
Others have tried to honor them and assist them. But the irony is that the more compassion shown to them by whites, the greater their abuse at the hands of their fellow blacks.

You’d enjoy and benefit from the entire series - Free to Choose.
Black Americans have a unique history, not unlike that of American Indians. Whites come from a stock of people willing to leave home, travel far away and start fresh. If you imagine that there are intrinsic differences between people you’ll see that whites have a distinct genetic advantage if those traits are genetic or a nurtured skill if those traits are environmental or both if they are mixed.
Blacks started as low as you can go, as slaves, randomly picked to leave home by force. By both genes and environment they’re at a distinct disadvantage. They continue to be treated as “other” by both their irascible foes and their supposed friends.
Bush had it right when he decried the “soft bigotry of low standards”. 7/10 black children are born outside of wedlock. The black family torn apart until the close of the Civil War went on to be terrorized by state governments and victimized by their inherent poverty and lack of education. They recovered toward the end of the 19th century and enjoyed a Renaissance of sorts up until the Great Depression. There was a time when black architects, doctors and lawyers were employed by whites because of their skill and merit.
The black family never recovered after WW2 and government policies both state and federal and both bigoted and ameliorative have exacerbated the situation. If we have any mercy we’d fight for school vouchers, adoption and welfare reform.
To pretend that whites as a group or class have suffered in America like blacks did is to ignore the reality of history.
“What a sad commentary on the current state of urban black culture.”
I think that you also have to blame the “war on drugs” for some of this. It’s turned the cops into an occupation force and put a lot of black men in jail for a long time that really shouldn’t have. That plus the history of harassment (black while driving, etc) has turned the black community against the cops. Sure the breakdown of the black family (encouraged by welfare and other liberal social programs) has made things even worse as young men raised by women will have very little respect for authority.
Looks like the perfect storm is on the horizon, all we need is a spark to light it off and that won’t be fun for anyone.
You hit the nail on the head with your essay.
“A spotlight shined...”. Did the author mean ‘shone’?
Oh. Gee. I thought they were Amish.
I’m so shocked.
You’re just blame-shifting.
There wouldn’t be an increased presence of cops if there weren’t an increase in crime first.
Thanks. We need to maintain our bearings. As “conservatives” we’re better off remembering that we’re really Classical Liberals.
And just like today, we’d have been fighting against slavery, not for it.
“You’re just blame-shifting.
There wouldn’t be an increased presence of cops if there weren’t an increase in crime first.”
Could it be that there is an increase in crime because there is an increase in what the law defines as a crime? And a financial incentive for the cops to bust people? Such as the war on drugs? And no I’m not blame shifting, just pointing out the dynamics that have caused it. Also, I don’t believe that there is an increased police presence in these “hoods”, cops don’t like to hang out in areas where the local population takes pot shots at them (got to live to see that gold plated pension after all). This is about losing the “hearts and minds” battle for the populations that you police and it’s been an abject failure IMHO. But if you want to stick your head in the sand and hope it all goes away then good luck but more of the same isn’t going to work any better than it already has.
