That's um, that's, what is the word I am looking for?
I think I can see a pattern here but I can't quite grasp it.
In my neck of the woods, the local paper publishes a color double-sided insert of booking photos for property crimes and drunk driving arrests on two consecutive days. 95% are of ... ahem... hispanic extraction, and the balance are various shades of black and white trash. I call it the “local flavor”.
Fence the neighborhoods in and let them police themselves
Interesting comments at article.
If the crime is associated with drugs, yes, it is a slavery. Drug addiction is an enslavement that can lead to death. And the drug culture is an octopus that has its tentacles of death into all aspects of society.
“Councilwoman Hanifa H. G. Shabazz said the hyper violence in Wilmington is a remnant of slavery and is causing mental illness, causing black people to become self-destructive. She said she came to that realization after watching the movie 12 Years of Slavery.”
First off, it’s “Twelve Years a Slave”. Secondly, Solomon Northrup, the guy who actually was forced into slavery for 12 years, used the horrors of his experience towards a positive end. He became a ferocious abolitionist and lecturer on the realities of slavery. If anyone had a right to see himself solely as a victim and make excuses for his actions, it was probably this guy. But he didn’t, despite going through ordeals that quite frankly probably would have broken many of us.
If the Councilwoman really wants to make things better, it’s time to stop making excuses and start facing the problems head on. That won’t get her re-elected, though. And it’s so much easier to blame than fix.
Zaze on da plantation maan.
Zats y daze slaves.
Wont day get offdat?
Black man ...he noze...
“Slavery ended in 1865, get over it. This is not some racist plot of the white community on the black community; this is about crime and criminals. The facts of the case are that Chattanooga has a criminal class and the majority happen to be black. WHY IS THAT? When 12.5% of the country's blacks do 50% of the crime; and of that 50%, why is 90% of the crime done by blacks against blacks?
The time has long passed that the so-called leaders of the black community stop making excuses, pointing fingers at everyone else except the true criminals, blaming everything on white racism, and take a good look at yourselves and your community.
Chattanooga has a crime problem and the black community leaders and other decision makers refuse to admit the truth: you have a very serious crime problem in YOUR community done by black criminals. That crime affects the whole of this community including blacks, whites, Asians, and Latinos.
Denying reality and playing the race card or the “blame Whitey” game cannot hide the obvious fact: the reason why all these men are in custody is because they were preying on the citizens of Chattanooga. They are black. Deal with it. If you so-called community leaders aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. You are the enablers of the criminal black community and you should be ashamed and embarrassed.”
what??????
The overwhelming majority of this crime and violence can be traced back to one thing: illegitimacy. 72% of black children are now born illegitimately and raised by a single parent.
But you will not find a single black “leader” who says that marriage can solve these problems. Yet it really is that simple.
With every other factor being identical: where they live, their level of poverty, level of education, etc. If you compare two children, one born and raised in a family with both a father and a mother; and one born and raised by a single parent, the former is the one who is likely to succeed. The illegitimate child is 60% more likely to be a criminal offender.
It’s not racism. It’s not racial memory of oppression. It is not that “the system” or “the man” is holding them down.
Two simple rules:
1) Do not have sex outside of marriage.
2) Stay married and raise your children.
Importantly, there is a flip side. If they keep behaving the way they behave now, black America is going to die out.
It may be replaced by African immigrants, but amazingly, they do not suffer from all these problems. And even they can see the root cause of the failure of black America.
So why are black Americans so damned blind to their failure?
