Blame The Black Guy, Why Don't You?
The Houston Forward Times ^ | August 28, 2013 | Jeffry Boney

You know, it amazes me how Black people collectively get accused for everything that is wrong with our nation. We appear at the top of the list when it comes to issues that many people consider to be controversial, heinous or criminal. Whether it’s the issue of welfare, homicide, drugs, violent crime, prison, school dropouts, negative entertainment or single-parent households, you can’t help but see Black people get paraded out front in the mainstream media like they are the only group of folks in the country that are contributing to the problems associated with them.

I was recently watching the VMA Awards on MTV, where I saw Miley Cyrus on stage performing a song with some pretty risqué and culturally questionable lyrics in it, when all of a sudden I see her giving a pretty raunchy performance, while ‘Twerking’ all over the stage. Now, this was a shock to me, only because I couldn’t believe that this was the same young girl that my, now-teenage children and I, used to love watching as Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel.

Now, I get that she is older and isn’t a kid anymore, but does that mean she had to jump off the deep end like that? Probably not. But what bothers me the most are the comments that I have heard coming from media outlets and others, who are stating that Miley Cyrus has become a “bad girl” and her change in behavior has to do with the hip-hop culture and her hanging out with Black people has negatively influenced her. This is ludicrous! Last time I checked, Miley Cyrus had a daddy. So, are we going to blame her behavior on somebody else, let alone an entire cultural group of people? That’s so stupid. She has a mind, and while she may have had folks influence her, you can’t blame Black people for it.

Same thing goes for the three kids accused of killing Christopher Lane, an Australian baseball player who was visiting the town of Duncan, OK, where his girlfriend lives and was out for a jog. Only two of the teenagers were charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Lane, a crime that one teen said they carried out simply because they were bored, according to police. James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, both Black males, were charged with murder. A third teenager, Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, a White male, was only charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact and with firing a weapon.

This was an incredibly stupid and heinous crime, but you have heard many people saying that the White kid was an accessory because he was being influenced by the Black kids to commit this crime. All of them are guilty, so it wasn’t a matter of Black versus White; it was a matter of right versus wrong. Every year, it seems as if Black people get accused for a crime that was either committed by a White person or with a White person. It is so much easier to say, “The Black Guy Did It,” than for people to take ownership over what they did.

Take Ashley Todd for example. In 2008, Todd thought it would be a good idea to carve a backwards B on her face and blame it on a Black Barack Obama supporter in Pennsylvania. However, after investigating her story, the police found out she had lied. Of course, then-candidate John McCain and Sarah Palin called her and offered her their condolences for this “made up Black man” story which had to be believable; because she said a Black man did it.

Or what about Susan Smith, who went on TV and received a ton of media attention after claiming that a Black guy hijacked her car, with her kids inside of it. Little did we know that she would later admit to taking her car and rolling it into a lake, with her children in it so that she could start a new life by marrying a wealthy man without having the burden of her old family. Better yet, what about ole’ Charles Stuart, Massachusetts, who shot himself and killed his pregnant wife for insurance money and blamed it on a Black man. After the police arrested several Black men on suspicion of being involved in the incident, Stuart’s brother admitted that he was actually involved in his brother’s wife’s killing, which prompted Stuart to commit suicide after being found out.

There are more and more stories that I could list, but let me make my primary point. Black people shouldn’t be the only faces that appear on the 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 news. However, this has been the way Black people have been displayed for decades in the media and in society.

Black people have been labeled savages, mongrels, criminals and animals, as if they are the only cultural group in America that can do any wrong. Truth be told, the majority of White Americans have always sought to mimic African American culture, whether it is music, entertainment, physical presence, art and style. So, if you want to blame Black people for being a negative influence on White youth, then the same should be said of White people’s influence on America. Because Black people have no majority control over the mainstream media, in Hollywood, heading up Fortune 500 companies and music labels, manufacturing guns and drugs, overseeing the educational system or dominating the political landscape, how can Black people be truly blamed for what’s wrong with our country? Shouldn’t the people who have control over these areas, be blamed for what’s wrong with them? When I worked in Corporate America, we always pointed out and disciplined those who were incompetent of handling their responsibility.

The only way to change the perception that society has about Black people, is to not only challenge Black people to do better, but to also be fair and equitable with the critique and coverage of activities in every cultural group. I am tired of Black people being singled out and called to the carpet for the very things that White people do and should be called out for as well. Where is the accountability fall in the community that helped create and foster many of the problems Americans face in our country, especially African Americans?

Black people are committed to overcoming the struggles and the problems that we face. Remember Black people endured slavery and fought to overcome all of the racist laws and systems that were put in place to keep us enslaved. Who we gonna blame for that in the media and in our society, huh?

And now the enslavement is voluntary. Imagine that.

Blacks and whites will always see the world differently. This difference will lead to constant tension and bouts of conflict.

Blacks and Hispanics will always see the world differently. This difference will lead to constant tension and bouts of conflict.

The interview with Walter E. Williams yesterday (replayed today) on WMAL Washington D.C. should be repeated throughout the country. His message would have been a great replacement for Clinton’s patronizing lies at the MLK rally.

In reality white victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism.,While the political opposition says nothing and black media continues to promote it.

Until the issue of this regime’s use of taking a multi racial security guard who is part black doing his job and painting a target on his back to advance its socialist agenda gets confronted with national exposure. Not only are we going to have black socialists like Jeffrey Boney and black publications like the Houston Forward Times continue to use and perpetuate their head in the sand approach the black on white assults which most often end in death will continue.

The HFT isn’t the only black publication doing this. Accepting the inflamatory racial handouts from the regime promoted by socialists in the media because they believe the construct it’s because of race not policy. As a result most of the black on white murders can be laid on their doorstep.

In this narrative Boney cites a multi racial 17 year old white skinned youth and suspected black gang member who participated in the stalking killing of a white kid, who turned out to be an Austrailian here on a visit. Then lays the blame on “whitey” because of lessor charges than his two black accomplices.

The fact that the victim was “stalked” as was the claim laid by the regime and repeated by the media in the security guards case similarity gets buried by another invention “bored teenagers”.

Yea right ! We can’t have any connection to the inflamatory inventions passed on by the black socialist ruining the country which were complete lies.

In the security guards case he never even approached his attacker, portrayed as a “victim”. The person working security followed a police suggestion and broke off his surveilance and was returning to his vehicle. Legally he can leave his vehicle because he was working in a posted gated community. Security has the right to question anyone of, red, blue, green, white or black skin as to their purpose being in the area. The black now “white hispanic” was attacked as he was returining to his vehicle by a suspect he never spoke to .

Why Are The Policies Which Drove This ?

It’s the second time the President of the United States has interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity in a patrolled area. Could this attitude be based from the idealized communist concept that there is no such thing as “private” property because the state (collective) owns the land ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3042477/posts and is the second purpose of selecting this episode to paint a target on Zimmerman’s back http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3054815/posts

Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3053314/posts.

Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation and that includes raising the price of transporting gas and oil by rail, that favors a key contributer (Buffett) while the regime has been recently ridiculing the impact the completion of a pipeline, has skyrocketed those costs. Placing many on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts. Resulting from this regimes socialist policies which go blameless. Now call for the sacrifice of Zimmerman who must die for another communist plan.. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t ever live there.

What could the first purpose be ?

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.

That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 165 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts

To date the political opposition known as Republican has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?

Get On Talk Radio’s Case
If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. The few who are still “milking this” by accepting black callers.

Allowing them to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was “stalked” or Martin was “stopped” and “questioned” when there was no right to do so. Instead these hosts fail to cite the simple facts outlined and documented here, allow the callers miss-conceptions go unchallanged, or cite examples of policy or corruption let alone ask them what has Obama done for you? Or even dismiss them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed..

I get so tired of this crap.
Someday, blacks will get enough guts to police their own, shame their own, and punish their own.
Do they like living with murderers, thieves, and vulgar hoodlums?
Why do they always need an idol?
Why can't they be self-motivated.

Not all, but most, can't think for themselves.
They have no sense of what it takes to live an honest, respectable life.
They smear, and ridicule their fellow man.
NO wonder one of the first things Jesus will do when He returns is to "separate the nations." Then they CAN'T BLAME OTHERS for what they themselves are responsible for.

Remember the cursing and the blessing and the reason WHY :
      “ CURSED BE CANAAN;
        A SERVANT OF SERVANTS SHALL HE BE UNTO HIS BRETHREN.
    And he [Noah] said,
      Blessed be the LORD God of Shem;
        AND CANAAN SHALL BE HIS SERVANT.
      God shall enlarge Japheth,
        and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
          AND CANAAN SHALL BE HIS SERVANT. ”

Blacks get the reputation that they deserve... peel back the propaganda and the events and facts that the press refuses to cover and what you have is somolia... zimbabwe and south africa in America. Not all blacks mind you... but 12% of the US population cause 54% of all murders. Black on white crime far exceeds white on black crime and black on black crime exceeds all the rest. Oh, and the boy this person referenced as being white... he is as much a black as obama is.

The writer is correct...innocent, law-abiding black people should not be blamed for things they didn’t do. But the crimes and problems of the black underclass are so huge and so devastating to the rest of black Americans and America itself, it cannot be overlooked. Without the gross criminality of the black underclass, many cities would be more livable and more prosperous. Millions of whites refuse to visit or even drive through many large cities for fear of black violence. Crack down harshly on the black underclass, and everybody, black and white, will be better off.

Bitch, bitch bitch. Of course Black people aren't the only group of folks contributing to the problems but they are the best at it and now that they get recognized at being the best at something, they complain about it. Go figure.
