Jesse Jackson is right when he said that "blacks are under attack."
In particular, young black men are under attack - deadly attack.
Althought they comprise only 5% of the population, black men comprise almost 50% of the murder victims each year in the United States.
Why is this? Is it because of white racist vigilantes gone wild, as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Barack Obama would like you to believe?
Not exactly.
If you take a mid-sized midwestern city, and look at the 2011 murder statistics in detail, you might get a more accurate picture of the real problem.
In 2011, there were 69 homicides in the city of Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Enquirer posted a table with the names and demographics of the victims (and where data were available, the "alleged perpetrators") here.
Only two of the 69 people killed were white. A white man who was shot by police after he pulled a knife on them. A white woman was shot to death by a black man for reasons that have not been made clear.
60 of the homicide victims were black men. Two of them were shot by police. The rest - 58 black men - were murdered.
One of them was stabbed to death at home in a fight with his white girlfriend.
The rest - 57 black men - were murdered by other black men.
See for yourself. And the same could be shown for every city in the United States.
Jesse, Al, and Barry are right - young black men are under attack - from young black men.
To pretend that the "real problem" is anything but that -- to pretend that young black men are being killed off by white racist hoodlums and vigilantes -- is to indulge in a race-baiting lie that hides the truth and thereby makes it more difficult to solve the real problem. It is tantamount to aiding and abetting the murderers, after the fact, covering the glaring and sobering reality with a self-congratulatory smokescreen of easy mendacity.
If you want to solve the problem, the first thing you have to do is identify it and understand it, not deny it and conceal it.
Evidently Jesse, Al, and Barry don't really want to stop the epidemic of young black men being murdered. They just want to use it to further their own fortunes, economic and political.
As Reliapundit says, they are lying racist scum.
EXACTLY.
ReplyDeleteAFRICAN AMERICAN BOYS CAN CHOOSE TO BE LIKE COLIN POWELL AND ALLEN WEST AND THOMAS SOWELL AND AND WALT WILLIAMS OR THEY CAN BE LIKE BLACK HIPHOP GANGSTAS.
THE CHOICE IS THEIRS.
A BLACK BOY BORN IN THE USA CAN BE ANYTHING HE WANTS IF HE WORKS HARD ENOUGH.
TOO MANY CHOOSE TO BE THUGS AND CHOOSE TO EMULATE THE WORST ELEMENTS OF POP CULTURE AND CHOOSE THE FOLLOW THE RACE-BAITERS WHO SEEK TO DIVIDE US AND WHO SEEK TO USE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE THINGS AWAY FROM THOSE WHO EARNED THEM TO GIVE TO THEM AND THEIR COMRADES.
THIS ONLY MAKES THEM DEPENDENTS AND DESTROYS INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE AND RESPONSIBILITY AND THE FAMILY.
THE RACE-BAITERS - AND THEIR LEFTIST/REDISTRIBUTIONIST COMRADES - ARE THEREFORE THE PRIMARY AGENTS OF THE DESTRUCTION OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO END POVERTY AND RACISM THEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO END THE RACE-BAITING AND LEFTISM.
Blacks are under attack from other blacks, period!! In UK we have a complete police department, called Operation Trident, solely to deal with black on black - usually gang-related crime. Despite the fact that guns ar illegal here, blacks always seen to have them!! I imagine it is the same in US, the media are just told to shut up about it!!
