Ex-NAACP Head: Black Youth Afraid For Their Lives With Police Like Colonists With Redcoats
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/05/2014 11:46:51 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

You say you want a revolution? Former NAACP president Benjamin Jealous just analogized the fear for their lives that black youth feel about police to the fear the colonists felt toward the "Redcoats"—British soldiers during the time of the American Revolution.

Jealous, now with the leftist Center for American Progress​, made his inflammatory claim to Ronan Farrow on the latter's MSNBC show today. Rather than challenging Jealous, Farrow thanked him for his "impassioned take." Has it come to this? A significant civil rights leader analogizes race relations in the United States to the revolution that led to the creation of our country, and all an MSNBC host can do is thank him for it?

colonists were 93% more likely to be murdered by parasites.

Red Coats & Black Racial Terrorists come from the same mold it appears.

Can’t wait to read their Declaration of Independence...what will they do when everybody else shrugs their shoulders and says “Okay, you’re independent. Have fun.”.

We underestimated how much the left would use the race card. They’ve doubled, tripled, quadrupled down on it because it’s all they have in their arsenal but it still works because of the patronizing white liberals in the media and a gutless opposition party who doesn’t dare ciriticize anyone of color because of an insane fear of being called out as a racist.

If you want to see fear in American society, look in the face of a young white girl, an elderly white man or woman on the street approaching a gang of blacks - that is abject fear.

In urban areas whites stay locked in their apartments after dark. They know what it means to live in fear.

White youth afraid for their lives to walk down any inner city street after dark with gang bangers like rabid dogs.

I wish they were afraid for their lives. There would be less black crime.

Colonists were 93% likely to be murdered by other colonists?

Some black folks are so hung up on alleged racism while their own people are responsible for the overwhelming amount of violent crime in this country. Maybe they should teach their “loved” ones that their real enemy is black thugs who shoot black kids needlessly every day.
