MSNBC Guest: There’s a U.S. ‘War on Black Boys,’ Could Turn ‘Genocide’ if We Don’t Stop It
Mediaite ^ | 19 Aug 2014 | Eddie Scarry

On Hardball Monday, MSNBC contributor Michelle Bernard said the U.S. is on the verge of experiencing a “genocide” of young black men.

Bernard was on the program with the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson to discuss the ongoing unrest in Ferguson, Mo., following the police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Bernard, who is black, said her 11-year-old son had asked her recently if someone was going to shoot him, as was the case with Brown. ADVERTISEMENT

“I don’t have an answer that is palatable to be able to look my children in the face and say there are people in this country who– not only do not like African-Americans, but they despise black men,” Bernard said. “There is a war on black boys in this country. In my opinion, there is a war on African-American men.”

Host Chris Matthews wrapped up the segment, saying he wished that other Americans would listen to Bernard and Robinson, who had said both racial and economic elements are at play in the Ferguson turmoil.

“I hope so,” Bernard said, “because this is, it’s going to turn into a genocide if it doesn’t stop.”

There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.

She’s playing her scripted part.

Of course, Bernard is not talking about how blacks are being murdered by other blacks, or by Planned Parenthood. She’s promoting the myth that whites kill lots of blacks.

The criminals who have seized the government will use that myth to demonize—and kill—white returned veterans, white TEA Partiers, and white gun owners.

Iraq, maybe the media forgot about that, what about Israel and Hamas, maybe they forgot that too. HO what about failed foreign policy like Russia, yep forgot about that too.
Maybe open borders and illegals coming here as it is still going on.
Nope they forgot , they must have right?

Nope they all want to push white cop kills innocent poor black boy out shopping crap.

Well since the Dems and the media are trying to distract us so they can get the blacks out to vote while putting cops down as military not all of us have lost focus on our memories about borders, etc

If there is such a “war” the idiot at MSNBC would be wise to to look up the facts, and they’d find it is most often being committed by other “black” boys.

“I don’t have an answer that is palatable to be able to look my children in the face and say there are people in this country who– not only do not like African-Americans, but they despise black men,” Bernard said

I wonder if Bernard can answer my question as to why the Blacks love the knock out game so much?

Poor woman can’t do math.

Here’s an interesting article about the number of people killed by LEOs. (From Mother Jones of all places.) In 2012 it was 410, for the whole country. More whites than blacks were killed, though of course more blacks in proportion to their numbers. Would be interesting to see if the proportion of blacks killed by LEOs is disproportionate to their violent crime rate, which of course is the main reason they come into contact/conflict with cops.

Still, well under 200/year is a tiny number, a remarkably ineffective attempt at genocide, and far, far below the number killed by other black thugs.

If blacks kill other blacks, how is that racist???


Because they HATE their OWN race... many times with good reason.. i.e. absent/parasitic fathers.. (sometimes mothers)

IF they HATE their own race.. what they think of YOUR race is Much worse..
