Blacks didn't begin rioting in America until white Communist taught them how. In fact, the Watts riots were the first urban race riots driven by blacks.
Acting a fool has never affected change for the better. Eric Garner is dead, due in part, to excessive liberal regulations. Michael Brown is dead because he beat down a cop, attempted to take his gun and then charged the officer like he was trying out for the NFL. Berkeley students burdened and trained in the art of "white privilege" are incensed because their professors tell them they should be, and though Al Sharpton has lost a lot of weight, his pockets continue to grow fat despite his irrelevancy. In the end, with the exception of more regulation to spark more protest, the riots and picket signs will all be for naught.
Recently, I decided to research the Watts riots of 1965 that took place in Los Angeles at the height of the civil rights movement. What I found may surprise you. It seems whether were talking about the Watts riot, Detroit rendition, or Ferguson, there commonality seems to be disproportionate responses based on half-truths at best. In an article written by John Mcwhorter in 2005 entitled "Burned, Baby, Burned," he sums up the Watts riots as the place in history "when the militant became mainstream in a 'fed-up' black America." According to McWhorter "only in the 1960s did a significant number of blacks start treating rebellion for its own sake -- rebellion as performance, with no plan of action behind it -- as political activism."
That's where we are today. Cookie-cutter rioting for the sake of being loud and seen has substituted the gradualist movement that was successful in bringing about constructive and legislative change by the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., his brother A.D. King, John Lewis, and Rosa Parks just to name a few. Ask yourself if this sounds familiar, the Watts riot began when rumors started that two white cops had beaten a pregnant black woman in South Central Los Angeles. In actuality, the officers pulled over a black drunk driver and subdued him only after he resisted arrest. But what would cause blacks to go so far as to burn down their own neighborhoods? The short answer is white hippies.
When young white activist became disenchanted with establishment norms, racism, political censorship, perceived social injustice, poverty in urban America and subsequently the Vietnam war, they used protest, altercation and arrest to gain televised exposure. Black academic disputers like Stokely Carmichael took notice and copied them. Suddenly, ones "blackness" was measured by a quantum of rebellion towards white America, and riots were the perfect tool. Although this new culture of black authenticity gave rise to black artists and intellectuals, black poverty was often left in its wake. Ironically, in an attempt to rebel against the white establishment, the new black activist played right into their liberal hands.
Unfortunately, Columbia University professors, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven capitalized on this new blackness and notoriously encouraged blacks to seek welfare rather than accept low-level jobs. They even "taught a squadron of activists, many of them black women, to stage rallies across the country and disrupt public meetings calling for welfare to be easier to get, more generous and easier to stay on," in the words of John McWhorter.
This new form of black protest and agitation has been more destructive in black communities than beneficial to say the least. Whether we're talking about Watts, Detroit, or black communities in Indiana, the manifestation of black riots has been high unemployment, decreased property values and increased welfare recipients. Far too many businesses leave only to never return, and new businesses are discouraged to move into "hot spots" where riots or protest have occurred. Inevitably, without a miracle from God, Ferguson will suffer the same fate.
Sadly black protestors have exchanged clever prose and picket signs for prosperity. Riots don't work! They seldom if ever have any lasting positive impact, accept to create more stringent government regulation, and line the pockets of the demagogues and elitists that cheer them on.
Yo blacks!
I didn’t like communist hell, I escaped from it.
You don’t like Amerika? Escape to South Africa, your homeland, paradise now run by blacks. You will be at home, sweet home, nobody to blame for notin’, just your own paradise. Screw the crackers!
“Hands up- don’t shoot”
Why would their hands have to be up in the first place?
The profound ignorance of these people amazes me.
Here in Cleveland there's an amusing outcome. The original protestors, who were enabled by a police chief who I assume believes in selective law and order, were allowed to halt traffic to and from Cleveland during commuting hours and to overwhelm some city streets and a public square. They were protesting against white privilege.
Now, the ones bussed in from Oberlin have a problem. Some risk failing courses for which they skipped class to attend the protests. They're real angry....they must expect white entitlement to keep them immune from consequences.
The whole point of joining a protest is being willing to accept the consequences of vigorously expressing and supporting ones views.
My feeling is let them fail. Let them lose their scholarships and loans. Maybe then they'll realize they don't have a clue about the real problems of inner city existence.
JMHO
Riots do work. They are encouraged by idiots like Holder and Obama.
How do they work? We just let them get bad enough and then private citizens shoot the ba$tards, handing out Darwin awards in a natural selection process, so that they won’t try again for another generation.
These idiots are simply cannon fodder for the liberal fascists now in charge of the White Hut.They hope to initiate a mass rising of minorities across the county to “take their just rewards” for having “buld the country” as former “slaves to de white man.”
Thyis is balck power nationalsit tinking combined with socialist redistribution philosphy.
They want tyranny for all, because they are emotionally convinced by Obama and others that they live in tyranny now. Obama is wrong about that. He just wants to be a dictator, and create the United States of Zimbabwe as his personal utopia...Saint Obama knows whats good for us all....”HE BLACK!” Its laughable.
The American people refuse to be held hostage by black power national socialists, whether they are white , black or purple.Thats why Obama needs his cannon fodder so he can declare martial law and postpone the 2016 elections if they are not going his way. This is a fact that the RINOs now running the GOP are ignoring at the nations peril.Shame on the sell out ba$tards.
Americans know what to do with cannon fodder , and if they do not stand down, they will be processed in America’s meat grinder.
Ugh, the grammar; it hurts my brain!
Try standing in the door of an abortion clinic with a sign that says “Black Lives Matter” and see how long you’re allowed to remain there.
These are anything but peaceful protests. If my way is ever blocked on a public walkway or street, I intend to call law enforcement and demand that I be escorted and given safe passage. I might not get results but these terrorists need to stop being given a pass. Protest away but get out of the way of people who have jobs and better things to do than listen to a bunch of idiots. They should be allowed to protest, but a captive audience is not within their rights.
..sniveling, torrip, good for nothing dregs.
As a result, Chrysler has had to fail and be rescued twice, the second by being purchased by a foreign company.
GM had to be purchased by GuvCo, while GuvCo then went after its competitors with lawsuits and delayed or ignored GM's own legal troubles, such as with the ignition switch issue.
This same sort of political meddling and social engineering that left US with third world Detroit has done a similar number on "Black" America.
I'd like to think that it doesn't have to be like this, but it does.
It really can't be any other way until we stop doing what creates these problems.
They should stop complaining and get a job and better themselves.
I think it’s great what blacks are doing. It quickens the process of societal breakdown in the inner cities. Eventually that will lead to blacks and sngry poor libs eating the wealthy white liberals so they don’t come poison our communities.
My proposal for red states is to put into their constitutions that you have to live in the state a minimum of 10 years before running for any elected position, from dog catcher, to school board commissioner to governor. Set up a firewall which will prevent the libs froushing their swill on us.
“Froushing” haha.. Love iPad spell check.
That should be “from pushing”
Making them put their hands up is culturally insensitive.
They have to use at least one to keep their pants from falling down.
***and disrupt public meetings calling for welfare to be easier to get, more generous and easier to stay on,”***
And the parasites began to destroy the host.
Support your local Police
Don't rob liquor stores
Straight men don't show their underwear
Arson and theft are crimes
Sharpton’s lies are aimed at people of low intelligence
So blacks killing blacks is ok then?
Why use just skin color to Balkanize and destroy communities? Why not hair or eye color? Or height? Or weight?
Is anyone stupid enough to believe Obama and Holder are not racist?
I can't get White Entertainment Television - what gives?
Why is there not a White Congressional Caucus?
Dear MLK - they have dropped content of character part. It is skin color only now...Sorry!
Black lives matter only if they commit felonies and are shot by police in the process
