White America’s Waco insanity: The shocking realities it ignores about racism & violence

The common activity that links black thug gangs and biker thug gangs is the elephant in the room. That elephant is the illegal drug industry. This blowout in Waco was the result of a drug turf war pure and simple. It is America's illegal drug problem that is the elephant that needs to be rendered extinct. Otherwise America, as we know it, may render itself extinct as the lawlessness gets used by the Socialist-Marxists for their own political agenda.

For those who say prohibition does not work, they are using a big RED HERRING. You can take down the illegal drug industry using technology and common market forces as a comprehensive strategy.

My solution (fasten your seatbelts):

For the user, there should be no legal consequences whatsoever. They can eat, snort, shoot up, smoke whatever and whenever they want. If they get whacked-up mentally, it is their consequence. If they lose their job or die on the highway, they suffer the consequence. It is like paying a fine or being locked up at tax payer expense. The word should get out into the culture that there is a cliff you and your loved ones will fall down if you step over the rail. If it ruins a family, tough cookies! You stepped over the rail. The consequence is the enforcement system.

How does the culture protect itself against the collateral damage nightmare of drug use? User drug test kits. Mom will take a urine sample from dad and the kids and test it right there over the kitchen sink. The technology is out there.

Home test from Walmart, $19.97.

The drug users know where to get their drugs. I would have narcotics undercover find out from the users where they get their drugs. Then, I would study the entire supply network right back to the drug lab using the most advanced technology. Satellite technology? Yep! Drone surveillance? Yep! Cell phone surveillance? Everything down to the wireless bugs in the drug lab. The object is to wipe out the supply. Using today's technology, which did not exist from 1920 to 1933, we could dry up the supply like a famine in East Africa.

What would famine conditions in the supply cause? Using simple supply-demand economics, the price would shoot up to the moon! How would the users eat, snort, shoot up, smoke whatever and whenever they want then? Simple supply-demand economics armed with technology would win the drug war.

And, the corrupt city leaders (the legal drug lords) would no longer be lining their pockets to perpetuate the illegal drug industry.

There is no mass outcry because the bikers are criminal, thug gangs, and probably many of them got what was coming when you live that kind of life, and most people recognize that fact.

[MrB]

In Baltimore, the rioters were treated like tantruming children.
In Waco, the criminal bikers were treated like... criminals.

[Jack Black]

500 blacks run wild in Baltimore for weeks, burn down local businesses, attack police, arson cars and the police stand by and watch.

50 white bikers get into a fistfight in a bar, take it to the parking lot, and the local SWAT team opens up on them, killing 9.

And this points to white racism how? Blacks get away with stuff white people could only dream about, routinely.

[Sooth2222]

She obviously hasn't looked at the mugshots. The biker gangs are more racially, ethnically and culturally diverse than the Democrat congressional caucus. (Or the Baltimore rioters.)

[kingu]

I’m sorry, did I miss the article on Salon about the black on black murders in Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland...? Oh, right, forgot this was just a race baiting screed.

[Oliviaforever]

"This moron does realize that the Bandidos are a primarily Mexican MC, right? Of course he does. But apparently “Mexican” counts as “white” when necessary to serve the race-baiting narrative. Gee, it is almost like we have seen that before somewhere..."

Are the Cossacks primarily Mexican?

What ever the case, besides their Secret Handshake, they must have a Club House Rule that no one smile in their mugshot, especially when looking at a million dollar bond.

[Cowboy Bob]

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, as Malcolm X was otherwise known, did not have any hope that white people could or would change when it came to race. Although King was far less optimistic at the end of his life about the capacity of white people to change, too,

Why do White people have to change? It ain't just a one-way street.

[Steely Tom]

Third row, sixth rocket-scientist from the left might be sorta trying to smile.

[dowcaet]

Definitely an all “white” lineup. I guess a couple of “white” Hispanics must have snuck in to that fight.

[clintonh8r]

She probably wishes the cops had killed nine blacks so she could get her outrage on......

[<1/1,000,000th%]

She’s racist.

[TigersEye]

More than 165 people have been arrested for their participation in this thuggish, ruggish, deadly, violent, white-on-white street brawl but there has been no mass outcry from the country about this.

White people were promptly arrested for criminal acts and no white people are outraged about it.

I can see why that would be confusing to a woman who teaches Africana Studies at Rutgers.

[ifinnegan]

He left them. He disavowed them and became a real Muslim.

I don’t know specifics of his rift with NOI.

[MrB]

What gets me is the inherent denial of the ACTUAL difference in criminality rates.

[piytar]

“Are the Cossacks primarily Mexican”?

Nope, they are primarily white but are actually fairly integrated (in race terms) with Hispanic and black members. /irony

[TigersEye]

Just because “Studies” is a part of her job title don’t get the idea that Brittney does any actual studying.

[CSM]

Well, when the biker gang culture is bragging about being 1%ers, then I’d say that makes them an anomoly to the normal culture. Compare that to the 99%er culture in the urban areas, and there is a very large gap.

“White America” doesn’t need to cry out against the 1%er culture, when the police force took actions that seems to have addressed the folks that were causing the problem.

[truth_seeker]

“But everything from the difference in law enforcement response to media response tells us what we need to know about how white privilege allows acts of violence by white people to be judged by entirely different standards than those of any other group. “

In statistical terms, white crime is so much less common.

Department of Justice files and reports, continually show that blacks in America commit murder, more than seven times more frequently. Most are black on black.

Black on white is far more common, than white on black.

Black crime deserves the attention that it gets, in spite of Obama’s lame duck efforts to call the police off his brothers.

[The Toll]

“If a Black motorcycle gang had engaged in a shootout in a parking lot” . . . . it would be called Tuesday.
