How Do We Fix Race Relations?
The American Thinker ^ | 07/29/13 | Jeffrey T. Brown

Posted on 07/29/2013 9:25:03 AM PDT by Taxman

Many serious Americans are distressed by what they see going presently regarding matters of race. They are perplexed by the obvious anger and hatred directed by some against others, including examples of random people being beaten in various places following the Zimmerman verdict, "for Trayvon". They see entertainers boycott an entire state because of what the entertainers absurdly claim is racism, the result of a verdict in a grossly manipulated case in which the black "victim" purposefully initiated a beating on the "cracka" who then shot him. The jury wasn't fooled. The system worked, even if the malcontents did not get the result their prejudices demanded.

These tens of millions of serious Americans live good, decent, non-racist lives. They have been willing participants in the social reformation of our country, from what it was up to the 1960's, to what it is now. They embraced the message of Dr. King, and happily placed content of character over skin color, not because it would be risking wide-scale disapproval not to, but because it was right.

But these days, every time they turn on the television, it is as if the world they live in is a lie, and only white racism exists. Nor is this new. In fact, after so many cases of fabricated evidence and faked outrage, championed by the same pathetic cadre of pathological liars, many have begun to question exactly what process they have been part of for the last 50 years. Some have become disillusioned, realizing just how far apart the races have become despite their sincere efforts and intentions. Didn't everyone want the same thing? Wasn't this all supposed to be about equality?

Unless whites are willing to give up this nation and continue to be portrayed as evil incarnate along with allowing for all kinds of non white race based policies, organizations and laws then there is no fixing race relations.

Make it illegal to collect data on the ethnicity of citizens. The government should have no idea what the % of whites, blacks, latinos, Asians, etc. there are in the country, the prisons, the fields and the workforce. Then the race politics would go away.

Everyone in the country should be classified as an American or an alien. That’s it.

Another huge problem is right there in the Black House. Mr pResidetn openly states that” they didn’t build that” , which is the core of the blacks unfounded argument.... we built America. That is the basis for their chip.

Also, all through out Africa the culture is we can’t do it the Whitemans way... cuzz they white. is a huge issue.

Now that there is internet and TV they are starting to see how backwards they are and that maybe, the whitemans system has something to offer.

They still mooch for aid.
They still cannot figure out that they can’t shit and piss in their drinking water.

"Simple. Stop talking about it."

We tried that in the 80s. Didn't work. Blacks won't ever give up the race war because through it, they wield waaaaaay too much power over we cowardly whites.

Make no mistake...what they want are revenge and reparations. They want our property, and they want our servitude.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

There is a movement afoot to repeal or drastically amend the Stand Your Ground Act here in Florida. We need to counter that movement by lobbying our legislators to amend SYGA to require these cases to go before a grand jury, thereby weeding out the frivolous cases like Zimmerman’s and preventing them from going to sensationalized jury trials.

In places like Detroit, citizens’ only chance of self preservation is carrying a firearm and people there are now legally carrying openly. It’s an urgently growing problem in 0bama’s America.

Step one ... silence Sharpton and Jackson. They’re the 2 biggest race baiters in the country.

We would do best by refusing to participate in the discussion even if that means just ignoring the Trayvon-Zimmerman stories. The blacks believe that Zimmerman attacked Trayvon. The evidence shows just the opposite. The MSM agrees with the blacks. Forget doing anything about that very soon. Move on. Study Quantum Mechanics or something useful.

This.

To solve solidify race relations we just need to elect a black president.

“Answer: Blacks could behave well.

That’s where it needs to start.

Until then, STFU.”


Indeed.

It’s simple. Take the money out of it.

It is ALWAYS about the money, whether it's abortion, race, environmentalism, religion, you name it...it's ALWAYS about the money...

Promote commonalities which we all as humans hold regardless of race. Listen to and promote more respected black conservative voices, like Dr. Ben Carson, who address issues that unite all races, instead of promoting multi-cultural diversity and political correctness that divide all humans.

Start off easy: Dismantle the “War on Poverty”.

When one must focus their energies on making a living, instead of sitting on ones’ ass, the ‘little things’ start to take on a whole new perspective.

Maybe, MAYBE, then they’ll start to question why their education was so horrible (low pay, low quality jobs), why the punks down the street are out @ 2AM trashing THEIR hard-earned XYZ. What have the ‘Just-Us Brothers’ DONE for ‘me’?, etc.

Birds of a feather prefer to flock together.

Go into any prison (well at least the ones they show on TV) and you’ll see whites allied with whites, blacks with blacks and apparently when it comes to Mexicans they further subdivide into Norte and Southern cultures and maybe a few others besides. Of course there are also Aisan gangs as well.

When times are good and the circumstances are right the various races can and do live together, work together and intermarry. When times are not so good (imprisonment being one example, economic calamity being another, there are other examples) the races inherently come to distrust each other and self segregate.

Put another way - the “race issue” is never going to “go away” with unicorns hopping friskily across the meadow and skittles falling out of their nether regions.

The best that can be hoped for is:

1. An economy that floats all boats.
2. A government that doesn’t demagogue the race issue.
3. A government that doesn’t try to pick sides in the race issue.

That’s it.

Everything else is either wishful thinking or shameful manipulation.

There are too many black race baiters and the MSM who actually make a living by perpetuating the poor black/white race relationship in this country.

Have any black on white hate crimes actually been identified and prosecuted?

Again, rationalization is the root of the black victimism.

Everything wrong on the left is a result of liberal rationalization. this is what occurs when being right, not having to change your worldview, not wanting to admit what you are doing/supporting is causing the problems you’re experiencing, is far, far more critically important than actually fixing the problems and admitting you were wrong.

Rationalization means never having to admit in your own mind, you were wrong. The other side did something, or said something, or their facts are messed up, or don’t prove anything to you, and if you can’t say that, then attack them personally, their integrity, play the race card one or more ways,

anything to avoid having to admit you’re wrong.

And now you see what is behind rationalization, the second greatest human drive. Human pride.

You can't minimize the effect the Victim Industrial Complex has on undermining black culture either. For more than half a century, the Race Whiners have bitched and marched and protested and sniveled and kvetched about racism that exists largely in their own imaginations. Every episode is seen from the bigot's point of view: a race-fueled attempt by the White Man to keep the Black Man down. And when blacks exploit whites? Nothing to be said. When the entire episode turns out to be a hoax (Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse team), nothing to be said.

Stop the double standard and maybe whites would have more sympathy. And spend some time cleaning up your own back yard before you waste another 50 years telling us everything that's wrong in ours.

Dealing with inner-city African-American culture is like dealing with Fundamentalists Muslims: YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM LIKE YOU. You cannot appease them. You cannot satisfy them. All you can do is fight them as fiercely as they fight you until finally they respect you. When there is mutual respect, there might eventually be that uneasy peace of two enemies who have finally decided to call truce for now. That is as good as it’s going to get.
