ANALYSIS/OPINION:
I know of no white person alive today in the United States who has ever legally owned a black slave, or any slave for that matter. Almost 700,000 mostly white men died 160 years ago to end slavery. Jim Crow ended generations ago. Yet black America, for the most part, is still locked in inner-city gang violence and economic hardship. Why?
Is it because America is racist? Is it because of some overhanging white supremacy? Is it because of the Illuminati?
No, unfortunately, it is because of black culture and the adoption of Democratic Party government dependency.
We have just had eight years of the first black president. Black athletes, and entertainers, routinely earn multi-million dollar incomes. I can easily name several black billionaires without even trying too hard. A large percentage of black America is very successful. But, it is not enough. Too many black youth are being left behind.
And it is no one but black America’s fault.
No one can solve this problem but black America. No one can throw enough money at it. We’ve tried that.(This statement is also very much the case in Australia, today!) Black America needs to look in the mirror and stop blaming others, especially white people.
I am obviously white and conservative, and I served in the military, which, during my time, was as color blind as you could be. I can also honestly say I don’t give a damn what color your skin is, neither do any of my friends. I do care about your actions.
Blacks are around 15 percent of the population. Depending on what study you look at, they commit around 40 percent to 50 percent of violent crime in America. Of course, there is going to be a problem with police. And, of course, there are some bad policemen.. However, those bad apples do not kill black people statistically anymore than they kill white people. Even Harvard said that recently. If you were a cop, and you had to work in a neighborhood infested with crime and murder, wouldn’t you act differently than in a neighborhood where there was little crime? The most effective thing black America could do to improve its relationship with police is to significantly reduce violent crime where they live. Yes, that means change the culture of where you live and your community.
I for one am tired of being blamed. I am tired of dealing with people who only want something from others. I don’t oppress anyone. I don’t hold anyone down. I’m tired of getting on the D.C. metro and seeing white people being harassed by roaming gangs of black youth with their pants around their knees. Yes, you want a white person uncomfortable? That makes me uncomfortable. It’s our nation’s capital and it’s embarrassing.
Blacks have nothing but opportunity in America. Try finding the same opportunity anywhere else in the world. If you are born in America you’ve won life’s economic lottery. Take advantage of it.
The problem is this generation has been taught an agenda of cultural Marxism by our education system. They’ve been taught to be a victim, and it’s still going on. All you have to do is watch the young black, female student at Yale screaming at the college president to understand that. Blacks in America don’t even know how good they got it.
Don’t kneel when my anthem is played. Too many people died for that flag. You are free to protest but not then. I am free to not watch, or pay to watch you play if you do that. The NFL should make it a rule that you stand for the national anthem. There is no free speech to disobey a private employer on private property. This would solve the problem immediately.
The NFL has deeply offended most of America. They will pay an economic and reputational price, as they should.
We have a real cultural problem in this country, the result of the Leftist multicultural agenda. Multi-ethnicity is perfect and should be encouraged.. Having more than one American culture is destroying the country. But then again, that is what the Left wants.
Do Black Lives Matter?
It is your job to determine if this is a racist rant or just a review of factual data…
WHAT IF ALL THE BLACKS SUDDENLY LEFT AMERICA, WHICH IS 13.3% OF THE TOTAL U.S.POPULATION:
Amount of people in poverty would drop – 34%,
The prison population would go down by -37%,
Welfare recipients would go down by – – – 42%,
Gang members would go down by – – – – – 53%
Chlamydia cases would go down – – – – – – 54%,
Homelessness would go down – – – – – – – -57%
Syphilis would go down – – – – – – – – – – – – 58%.
AIDS & HIV would go down by – – – – – – – -65%,
Gonorrhea would go down – – – – – – – – – – -69%,
Average ACT scores would go UP – – – – – 5.5 points.
Average IQ would go UP – – – – – – – – – – – -7.4 points, putting us 3rd in the world tied with Japan,
Average SAT scores would go UP almost – – – – -100 points,
The average income for Americans would go UP over $20,000 a year,
BUT DEMOCRATS WOULD LOSE 76% OF THEIR VOTING BASE!!!
And, many criminal defense attorneys would have to find another line of work!
Yes, Black lives DO matter!
Wow, good article. We need more fellas like this speaking out.

Credo sia doveroso fartelo sentire;in più ho scoperto realmente che il 21dicembre sarà una data che nessuno potrà mai dimenticare, come il Sole che Sorge definitivamente!
Quando alzò gli occhi al Cielo posso notare spettacoli meravigliosi;non vedevo le Rondini da tanto tempo!Stamattina uno stormo di Rondini ha cominciato a girarmi intorno, e cantavano tutte insieme!Nessuno si è reso conto di questo spettacolo meraviglioso…ma come è possibile? Per me è il Paradiso che si rivela.
Lo adoro.
Transl.:
I think it is right to make you feel it; moreover I really discovered that December 21st will be a date that no one will ever forget, like the Sun that rises definitively!
When I looked up to Heaven I can see wonderful shows now; I hadn’t seen the swallows in a long time! This morning a flock of swallows began to turn around me, and they were singing all together!
Nobody witnessed this wonderful show but me… but how was it possible? For me it was heaven revealing itself.
I loved it! 🙂

Quindi sono il “Nulla”,come ho sempre detto.Pastori e Parassiti senza scrupoli che hanno razziato tutto in Egitto tramite Mosè e Aronne;da questo punto si è formata tutta la classe sacerdotale in alto(Mosè era praticante del culto di Aton tramite suo fratello minore,per questo l’eredità di Akhenaton doveva sparire per sempre).
Ma sono arrivati alla fine della folle corsa,nessun Pastore potrà più definirsi Faraone(come sta tentando di fare Michelle Obama).
Regarding the slavery of Blacks by American Whites of earlier times, I contend that the consideration that overrides all others is that it was the White man who outlawed slavery. This immoral institution, slavery, had existed for thousands of years and was found almost everywhere (ancient Egypt was free of it, I have read). Finally the White man put an end to it. It follows from this that the White man is today innocent of all slavery he has committed in past ages, I contend.
And if every poor white trash evangelical were to leave we wouldn’t have a barely contained psychopath in office.
That the White man truly is a superior type of human can be seen in his cultural accomplishments. Because the White man is superior, racism is natural. Yes, natural!
IceTea, you are putting class above race. Hitler, to the contrary, put race above class.
Ok John. Consider this: the white man’s cultural superiority just isn’t supported by historical evidence. The Sumerians, Mycaeneans, Egyptians, Han Chinese, northern Indians, Persians, Arabs, and lastly, Europeans were all culturally superior in their time…and then were displaced by other, more vigorous groups. Hegel called it the Historical Dialectic. Race doesn’t seem to have been a determining factor in the accomplishments of these peoples. Rather, most historians attribute their accomplishments to a combination of geographic location, economics and trade.
Your belief in White superiority is an unjustified belief in the inevitability and sustainability of our present condition.
Or maybe the ultimate racists, Supremacists, and master-race proponents, the Jews, have confounded you. Cui bono your politically correct position? Good way to assure your career, btw….
Ice T, your comment is specious and uninformed. Aside from the Han Chinese and Arabs, all of the ORIGINAL members of the peoples you mentioned were White Aryans – do some research. Read “March of the Titans” and “The Children of Ra” by Arthur Kemp. Many believe that the Chinese were heavily influenced by ancient White Tocharians coming from the west. Also, the Arab “accomplishments” in philosophy, science, and mathematics were largely derived from the ancient White Greeks, whose legacy was preserved by the Arabs. So yes, race was a determining factor in the accomplishments of these peoples. Try again when you’ve educated yourself on real history.
“IceT” has reveled himself via comments I deleted that he is not some brainwashed liberal but the same FBI agent who regularly for months has threatened me with death and flaunts wiretapping my house. He is preparing a deep fake “exposė” on me now.
His most recent self-moniker was “OntonagonSVU” [Special Victims Unit].
