"Teaching" these kids that they are helpless victims is the cause of this whole incident in the first place.One boy asked me, “Why does this keep happening, Mr. Singer?” It was the question of which I had been most afraid. As a teacher, it’s always uncomfortable to admit the limits of your knowledge.
”Bad things start to happen when you get more than 500 to 1000 people together in the same place.” - In Search of Excellence, Tom Peters et al.But even at that, “this” does not “keep happening.” It happens rarely enough that it can be made into a nationwide cause celebre.What keeps happening is blacks killing blacks - and also killing whites. The statistics are what they are. What keeps happening is blacks being unwilling or not safely able to dissent from the “might makes right” attitude. Blacks are 90% Democrat because they are afraid not to be.
Why does this keep happening? Because the people who want it to happen have too much power to be stopped. And because people act as enablers of it.
I keep asking myself the same question... of all the readily available examples of police misconduct, why pick one that is bogus in which to anchor your cause?
