"How much do you want to bet, the usual amount?"

In the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous of the NAACP are calling on the black community to rise up in national protest.
Yet they know nothing is going to happen.
"Stand-Your-Ground" laws in Florida and other states are not going to be repealed. George Zimmerman is not going to be prosecuted for a federal "hate crime" in the death of Trayvon Martin.
The result of all this ginned-up rage that has produced vandalism and violence is simply going to be an ever-deepening racial divide.
Consider the matter of crime and fear of crime.
From listening to cable channels and hearing Holder, Sharpton, Jealous and others, one would think the great threat to black children today emanates from white vigilantes and white cops.
Hence, every black father must have a "conversation" with his son, warning him not to resist or run if pulled over or hassled by a cop.
Make the wrong move, son, and you may be dead is the implication.
But is this the reality in Black America?
When Holder delivered his 2009 "nation-of-cowards" speech blaming racism for racial separation, Manhattan Institute's Heather Mac Donald suggested that our attorney general study his crime statistics.
In New York, from January to June 2008, 83 percent of all gun assailants were black, according to witnesses and victims, though blacks were only 24 percent of the population. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of all gun assailants. Forty-nine of every 50 muggings and murders in the Big Apple were the work of black or Hispanic criminals.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly confirms Mac Donald's facts. Blacks and Hispanics commit 96 percent of all crimes in the city, he says, but only 85 percent of the stop-and-frisks are of blacks and Hispanics.
And these may involve the kind of pat-downs all of us have had at the airport.
Is stop-and-frisk the work of racist cops in New York, where the crime rate has been driven down to levels unseen in decades?
According to Kelly, a majority of his police force, which he has been able to cut from 41,000 officers to 35,000, is now made up of minorities.
But blacks are also, per capita, the principal victims of crime. Would black fathers prefer their sons to grow up in Chicago, rather than low-crime New York City, with its stop-and-frisk policy?
Fernando Mateo, head of the New York taxicab union, urges his drivers to profile blacks and Hispanics for their own safety: "The God's honest truth is that 99 percent of the people that are robbing, stealing, killing these drivers are blacks and Hispanics."
Mateo is what The New York Times would describe as "a black Hispanic" Yet he may be closer to the 'hood than Holder, who says he was stopped by police when running to a movie - in Georgetown.
Which raises a relevant question. Georgetown is an elitist enclave of a national capital that has been ruled by black mayors for half a century. It's never had a white mayor.
Is Holder saying we've got racist cops in the district where Obama carried 86 percent of the white vote and 97 percent of the black vote? And his son should fear the white cops in Washington, D.C.?
What about interracial crime, white-on-black attacks and the reverse?
After researching the FBI numbers for "Suicide of a Superpower," this writer concluded: "An analysis of 'single offender victimization figures' from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white - with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study."
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.
If interracial crime is the ugliest manifestation of racism, what does this tell us about where racism really resides - in America?
And if the FBI stats for 2007 represent an average year since the Tawana Brawley rape-hoax of 1987, over one-third of a million white women have been sexually assaulted by black males since 1987 - with no visible protest from the civil rights leadership.
Today, 73 percent of all black kids are born out of wedlock. Growing up, these kids drop out, use drugs, are unemployed, commit crimes and are incarcerated at many times the rate of Asians and whites - or Hispanics, who are taking the jobs that used to go to young black Americans.
Unfortunately many blacks are fakes as they've found that being fake gets you what you want, not important things that they need. Time is passing for a big clean up that addresses the real problem, and stop taking the rights of the decent people away from them. This administration is a complete wash out and a very big enemy of the United States.
It SHOULD be apparent based on most people’s real life experience, but instead we have propaganda replacing logic.
When the president has to use as an example of racist oppression - me locking my own car door from a stranger - no sale.
I would say I have a half century of daily observations of white people being afraid of black people, black people being rude to whites in restaurants, stores, newspapers supporting blacks in every story, government programs at all levels designed for blacks.
And I’m supposed to draw from this blacks are the victims of a white racist society.
I’m playing a game today what with Kate Middleton giving birth and the story everywhere. Every time I see a black person posting on a news site on FB how sick they are of hearing about this, I reply “Racist”. Then watch their heads explode (one telling me, “it was a joke - get a life!”). Childish, yes, but I DO play at their level. It’s the only thing they understand.
Their big problem is Readin’, Rightin’ and Rithmatic!
Black America’s real problem isn’t white racism

UNDERSTATEMENT!
That’s right. You are supposed to be sensitive about the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws, and hold blacks to a different standard than you would anyone else. All because of these legacies of the discrimination of the past. I think we all understand this............
The crime is exposing the crime. As long as we play HIDE THE DECLINE with the radical left, everything is OK.
“Black America’s” biggest problem is the guy/gal in the bathroom mirror.

um... this applies to EVERYONE of ANY color!
I am as white as the day is long, but EVERY time I interact with a cop... I know every moment my life is at stake. Anyone who doesn't know this and act accordingly is just asking for a world of hurt.
They can’t blame whitey for their crimes against each other.
When I went to Kenya 2 years ago, I asked my tour guide what were the important issues were to the Kenyan people.
He answered that they voted mostly based on the tribes the politicians were from more than any issues.
Looks like that’s how it’s becoming here more and more.
Moving them out of the rotted out, ignorant, drug infested, crime ridden neighborhoods they now inhabit and into some nice suburbs isn't going to do a bit a good except give them many more soft targets of opportunity. There is a reason their neighborhoods are so dangerous and look like they do. They reflect the people who are the same way on the inside.
If the person isn't changed on the inside, all the dressing up on the outside isn't going to improve a thing. The Gibsmedats will still be "Gibsmedats" even if you give them a top hat, spats, a free penthouse, and all the free SNAP and EBT cards in the world for life.
That almost makes me want to sign up for FB....almost. Sounds like fun.
I’ll bet they weren’t sick of hearing about Beyonce’s baby when she was just a few hours old.

The American underclass (consisting of blacks, whites and Hispanics) will have no chance to become middle class until they receive a decent education. They are the victims of John Dewey and his socialist friends who planned a soft revolution by means of creating an illiterate population they thought would be easier to control.
