Black mayors...

Black police chiefs...

Black garbage collectors...

Black mailmen...

Black pastors...

City councils dominated by Blacks and Leftists...

Black on Black death causing 90% of the violent deaths in their communities...

Still...

White mans fault!

After a prolonged argument with some Leftists, I recently realized that some are simply incapable of separating color from culture. They refuse to consider that some cultural behaviors make a group flourish, while others are self-destructive; they hold as axiomatic the notion that “no group is superior to others”. As such, the only explanation they are cognitively allowed to hold is: anyone making demeaning observations about another culture must be doing so solely because of differing skin color. Cognitive dissonance really kicks in when you point out people who are (or aren’t) successful quite clearly because of their chosen behaviors (see “uncle Toms” or “trailer trash”). Unable to admit behavior => consequences, they demean others as “racist” - usually because of the others’ skin color.

I’m all for MLK’s “dream”. I think general American culture is almost as close thereto as any nation ever has been. On the cusp of eliminating racism, those whose behaviors lead to their own downfall grasp for means of continuing age-old blame - appealing to “micro aggressions”, demanding “safe spaces”, and demanding discrimination based on skin color.
MLK would be horrified.

It just so happens that some of the world’s most irresponsible people have certain cultural and biological characteristics.

Blaming Whitey is just one of their MANY crutches.

It is hard to deal with anyone who continually deals in lies.

The left continually deals in lies, and acuses conservatives of doing the same.

They have pi$$ed in the pot of civil society in their lust for power and control.

Thugs exist in present day America because of the Law Enforcement Community. If there were no prosecution for murder, there would be no thugs.

Thank your lucky stars homie!

...and not to mention obligatory Black images on just about every f’ng ad image and TV commercial since the Asshole-in-Chief was elected. I’m so sick of the useless pandering!! Their demands rise exponentially to what they’re handed for free.

Sick to death of ALL of the fascist Progressives' PC dog-whistle "isms" and "phobias" (Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia) which have been designed in the halls of academia expressly to suppress the truth.

Whose opinions happen to be suppressed? Who are those targeted with oppression? ONLY the opinions of Truth-Seekers, Whites (ironically), Men, Heteros, Christians, Nationalists, and anti Death Cultists.

The racial disparity is in family formation

This is absolutely correct. We don't have a "racial" divide; we have a "marriage" divide. (Thank you feminazis) I have come to the conclusion that Black people honestly do think that there is a "stash" someplace exclusively for handing out nice neighborhoods, schools, etc. to white people only. They want some of the stash.

But, there is no stash, there are choices that people make in life. Get married, STAY married (&, btw, beating up your spouse is NOT "just part of marriage"). Get a HS degree. Get a job, stay at that job for at least a year, get a better job ---- rinse and repeat. Raise your children together, so that they have, and know, both of their parents.

This stuff is not a secret -- it is just that blacks do not seem interested in doing this stuff.

I have discussed my husband's background; but, here it is: His father died when my husband was just in his early teens, his mother was an alcoholic. His brother suffered a head injury in a motorcycle accident, and has never been the same since. What insurance money his mother got after his father's death, was eaten up by the medical bills for this brother.

Hubby did get a scholarship for college; but, it was for four years, and he didn't finish in the four year time frame. He found a job,anyway, in his field and he went to night school at a local university in Oklahoma to finish his degree.

We will be married for 36 years this January, we have 2 wonderful daughters, one of whom is getting married this month.

My husband grew up with tragedy, and a mother with a drinking problem. They had very little money. This is his "white privilege". Going through all of that, working in his field and steadily improving his qualifications. And, now having money pulled out of his paycheck that he worked for and given to someone else so that they can whine about White Privilege.

Let them segregate themselves. Look at Chicago --- those are black deaths by other blacks --- every weekend. White people have nothing to do with that.

I don’t think they’ll actually shut up, they’ll just switch over to lecturing us in Spanish or Swahili instead of English.

quote “We’ve spelled it out for white America a hundred different ways that their beloved police forces are full of officers who are simply more volatile, fearful and prone to harassment and abuse of power when dealing with us — and it’s costing us our lives. We’ve laid out all the statistics and all of our millions of personal testimonies. We’ve made it clear that even though the subject of police brutality, as a sensationalized national discussion covered by mainstream media, is a relatively new phenomenon”

let me take this bit by bit - “police forces are full of officers who are simply more volatile, fearful and prone to harassment and abuse of power when dealing with us”

um because YOU are more volatile, threatening, and prone to attack when dealing with ANYONE !!! and the police know it and respond accordingly.

YOU want to believe that blacks as a group act the same as every other group. WHICH JUST ISN'T SO !!

YES YOU ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY by cops!! BECAUSE YOU ACT DIFFERENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start acting different, and you will start being treated differently!

Do you think cops treat Asians the same way they treat blacks? And if not, why not? Do you think it's because they are only racist against blacks? but love Asians?

or MAYBE just MAYBE they treat Asians differently because Asians ACT DIFFERENTLY ?

If most Asians don't commit crimes, don't resist arrest, follow orders when given, ect. THAT is why they are treated differently.

TELL ME THE TRUTH .

If YOU Mr. Holyier than Now Black Person were walking down a dark ally alone at night and looked behind you and saw.

1. A black teen male with his hoodie up
2. A white guy in a suit
3. An Asian carrying his school books

Which one would you be most afraid of? and be HONEST!!!

And THEN you MIGHT understand why COPS treat young black males different. Because they have a history of ACTING different that leads ANYONE with a brain to know to be more fearful of them.

That is NOT racism, that is self preservation based on experience.

Don't believe me?

Same scenario :

But THIS time

1. White male teen covered in tattoos, with his head shaved wearing combat boots.

2. Black guy carrying his school books.

3. And an Asian wearing a suit.

WHICH one are you most fearful of now???????????

AHHHHH!!!!! SEE!!!!

Your personal experience has taught you that in THAT situation that WHITE guy is the one to fear!

Was it because he was white ?????????? NO!!!!!!!!!!!

It's was because a lifetime or experience has taught you WHO TO RIGHTFULLY fear regardless of what color they are!!!!

SO .. lesson... if you want to stop being treated like a criminal thug... STOP LOOKING LIKE A CRIMINAL THUG !!!!!!!!!!

Accusations of racism have been so overused and misused that the word itself it has become a joke to everyone other than the radical left, idiot self loathers and black racists themselves.

You noticed that too huh? LOL

Isn’t it interesting how many White roles have now been taken over by Black actors?

Pretty soon I see the same thing happening in the Movie industry that has already taken place with the music, basketball, and football concerns.

Racism is ugly—black or White. This only leads to bad blood. i can foresee a rise in a new group like the KKK—Maybe something like The American association of White People. It will not be the old sheets and hoods this time—and no Nazi broken crosses—it will be worse!

Why are they complaining that white people are at fault?

Because white people are keeping the Cargo for themselves. Do you think the best TVs are kept in the stores to be looted. I go to the white man store to get the holographic display.

I will happily stand up for anyone who has been wronged regardless of skin color... but I won’t stand with a group that claims all law enforcement officers are racist oppressors, or believes that every time a black man is killed in a confrontation with a cop that the cop was in the wrong.

Hands Up, Don’t Shoot... was a lie, that’s not what happened, and if you insist on perpetuating that myth, there is little common ground for us to build from.

The guy who was choked and dragged to the ground for selling loosies in NYC, no doubt, cops did horribly wrong. GUy who got shot with his hands in the air and explaining to the police the guy he was with was mentally impared and no threat, yep cops were completely in the wrong... but to try to argue every incident where police use deadly force against a black perp is an example of racism or systemic opression, sorry you lost any standing in the world of reason.

To whomever wrote this ... It’s time to stop blaming racism instead of looking at yourself and seeing what the heck it is that you’re doing wrong. Quit pointing fingers ... look in the mirror.
