Black America's Real Problem Isn't White Racism
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."
Instead of a Crip at his mother's home teaching him to hate whitey. Trayvon needed a hard working, black Christian father teaching him to avoid trouble.
Trayvon Martin should not have turned around and assaulted George Zimmerman who was returning to his car. If he had simply gone home, none of this would have happened.
And that is what parents and leaders should be teaching kids all over this country. Black kids, white kids, brown kids, yellow kids, red kids...does not matter. If you have to be out at night, get home early and avoid any trouble. Because if you do not, it may get you injured or killed. Kids like the white 17 year-old Christopher Cirvini too.
But the libs and race baiters do not care about saving kids, black kids or any other. They do not care about true justice, or the truth. All they care about is their agenda and moving it forward. No matter how deadly, no matter how atrocious, no matter how big the lie.
Well, in a perverse sort of way, it is.
The real problem is using the bogeyman of White Racism as an excuse not to address the dysfunctional culture that they've developed.
"Black culture" is a false construct of the left intended to divide.
It is the lack of positive values in our society.
Too many black fathers don't care because they are just sperm donors who neither know nor care where their seed has been left.
The whites who are at fault are the left wingers who gave minorities welfare and government dependency, but those people would rather blame the whities who aren't fellow travelers.
Mamas, don't let your boys grow up to be thugs.

yeah exactly, what black culture? I can't see that black culture in America has anything attractive to offer
Those statistics are incredible.
Exactly right MM! That's exactly what Jesse did and he's the worst thing that ever happening to the civil rights movement in America.
It's more of an "anti-culture". It's a rejection of Western (Christian) culture and values.
Black culture was no different than white culture till the civil rights era.
George Washington Carver was born into slavery and ended up as a college professor and inventor. He didn't start wearing a Dashiki and change his name to Kinta Kunte to shed his "slave name". He joined society and thrived even at a time when real racism was very common.

I prefer the term "Culture of Bastardity"...
It's telling the truth and not sugarcoating it with a soft word.
I think there is a trremendous amount of truth to that statement, but I would also add the increased breakdown of the Black family as a result of the promotion of the welfare state along with the sell-out of the majority of Black churches and the adoption of political correct thinking instead of speaking the actual truth.
Obama, Holder, and the New McCarthyism
By Robert Bidinotto
In the wake of George Zimmerman's acquittal of the murder of Trayvon Martin, the Attorney General of the United States, through his underlings at the Department of "Justice," is appealing to the general public to supply the federal government with "tips," i.e., dirt, on a private citizen—and is now enlisting private political gangs to help them in this witch hunt.
Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law—who earlier in the day joined calls for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, said that later in the afternoon, she joined a U.S. Department of Justice conference call to discuss the prospects.
"They were calling on us to actively refer anyone who had any information, that might build a case against Zimmerman for either a civil rights violation or a hate crime," Arnwine said. "They said they would very aggressively investigate this case."
Arnwine said the call was convened at about 3:30 p.m. by Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice [Obama's nominee for Secretary of Labor—HMH), and included representatives from the FBI, and several federal prosecutors, she said. DOJ officials also said they would open a public email address so people could send in tips on the case....(I refuse to publish that email address here.)
In addition to Arnwine's group, Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Laura Murphy, Washington Chapter head of the ACLU; and several national, Florida and Sanford-based "human relations" groups participated, Arnwine said.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last straw.
America is a nation where every individual is supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, under the rule of law. For purely political reasons, George Zimmerman was dragged into court on flimsy evidence, but then acquitted by a jury of any crime.
But that is not enough for the gangsters of this regime. They won't let a little thing like the verdict of a jury be the last word.
So the highest law enforcement official of the United States, acting at the behest of his boss in the Oval Office, is now leading a full-blown witch hunt about the private life and views of an individual citizen—and enlisting a gang of private political cronies and allies to assist them, in order to railroad that same individual behind bars for the "crime" of—are you ready?—"hate."
Let's get this straight. Hatred is an attitude...a frame of mind...an emotion based on certain ideas. Hate may or may not be justified, depending on the circumstances. A victim of a heinous crime or a despotic regime, for example, may be fully justified for feeling hatred. It would be a just, though certainly not pleasant, emotional response to mistreatment.
But to convict a person of "hate crimes" is a variation of George Orwell's totalitarian concept in 1984 of thought crimes: of punishing an individual, not for criminal actions, but for merely holding ideas and emotions that are offensive to the political regime in power.
In short, the Attorney General and his boss have just declared open war on the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as well as on the privacy protections afforded by the Fifth Amendment. Moreover, they are encouraging a witch hunt by private citizens against a fellow private citizen: encouraging people to go spying and reporting to the government about a political target.
Before anyone replies that a "hate crime" must also be an actual crime, and that the "hate" is only its motive, let me point out that in Zimmerman's case, he was exonerated of any underlying crime which could be motivated by "hate," or by anything else. Thus, persecuting Zimmerman for an alleged "hate crime," when no crime exists, can only mean that he is being targeted for his presumed motive alone. In other words, for a "Thought Crime," a la Orwell's 1984.
Please forget the name George Zimmerman for a moment, and whatever your opinion of the man may be. Consider only the principles at stake. To do that, put yourself in the shoes of such a targeted individual.
How would you feel if you became the target of the enormously powerful federal government, which insisted on continuing to persecute you for something, anything, such as your thoughts and emotions, even after you were exonerated in a court of law of the alleged crimes?
How would you feel if hundreds of armed apparatchiks from the FBI and other police agencies were dispatched after the trial to continue to hound you, under orders of the chief law officer of the land?
How would you feel if he, acting under orders of his boss in the White House, dispatched investigators around your neighborhood, digging into your past, perhaps looking into your emails and social media (there are precedents), soliciting any idle rumors and unprovable claims about your attitudes, ideas, and temperament from everyone you know now or had ever known; from old lovers or spouses who might bear some grudge against you; from any past employer you ever argued with or who may have fired you; from any casual acquaintance who might want his 15 minutes of celebrity fame on an MSNBC show hosted by the likes of Al Sharpton, or perhaps in exchange for the promise of some government reward...at your expense?
My friends, this is goon squad stuff, right out of the playbooks of Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China, and North Korea. In a nation supposed to be distinguished from such dictatorships by our Bill of Rights, the contemptible Obama Regime is establishing the horrifying precedent of targeting enemies, then soliciting neighbors to spy and report on them.
And this sickening witch hunt is being led by the same "liberals" who endlessly, self-righteously preach against the dangers of "McCarthyism." Perhaps the most grotesque symbol of hypocrisy is the fact that one of the groups participating in this witch hunt is the Washington chapter of the ACLU—the self-proclaimed "liberal" champion of the Bill of Rights.
I have said that there is no bottom to the depths to which this power-lusting group of sanctimonious gangsters won't sink. Every day they prove me right by descending to yet a lower rung. But this is the lowest yet...and the most dangerous.
The Obama Regime is loaded with nothing but wannabe despots, starting right at the top. We have already seen how far these people are willing to go, with the scandals of the IRS, EPA, SEC, NSA, and many other agencies. They have zero respect for the rule of law and contempt for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which they regard rightly as impediments to their quest for boundless, unending power over the rest of us.
If we continue to perpetuate them in office after the next election, we as a nation deserve the complete destruction and chaos toward which we are rapidly sinking.
Make no mistake, when a low-life pos like Jay-Z is welcomed at the White House we're in deep trouble culturally. As stated earlier I don't care if he's worth 500 million or 1 billion dollars. He's scum personified. Just read the man's lyrics. He has millions of followers who buy his filth. It's rather perverse; it's as if millions of morons collectively say, "We're absolutely nothing with no powers of discernment (because there are no standards, no benchmarks of perfection) and here's a fellow nonentity with no talent at the top of money earners; ergo, there's hope for us." This isn't a knock of capitalism. It's still the best economic system but it's basically an amoral system. People will squander millions; no, make that billions of dollars on gimcracks, gewgaws, gadgets and gizmos, whether in the "arts" or some current ephemeral fad. This is also true of other ethnicities and races. But this is an epidemic among black youth who identify with a thug mentality and who worship at the altar of a $200.00 pair of sneakers. Of course, Obama courts this scum as it puts money into his collection plate. To him, Jay-Z, Ludacris, and Lil Wayne are just fellow homies. These scum bags don't actually reflect reality; they make their own reality and millions of fatherless kids lap it up.
I might keep an eye on the guy at the bottom right. He looks kinda shifty no matter what color his skin is.
We have paid multiple generations of the most uneducated and unproductive poor people in this country to reproduce exponentially. Then we blame white people for the societal results?
A great point. Will someone post some photos of some current exemplars of black culture, Lil Wayne for instance.
