Wilmington, Del., has a big problem: Large groups of black people are going crazy.
And this collective mental illness is causing record levels of crime and gun violence in this mostly black town of 70,000.
That is the official diagnosis of the city council, which, by unanimous agreement earlier this month, asked the Centers for Disease Control to investigate a wave of psychological mayhem that has turned this historic and once-charming city into an unrecognizable husk of its former self.
Chief diagnostician of this crisis in public health is city council member Hanifa G.N. Shabazz:
There is a well known fact that the African-American community here in the United States of America is still suffering from the traumatic syndrome of slavery, Shabazz said. That is compounded with the many effects that are happening in todays society with our young people and the things they are seeing, and there is definitely a shift of mental capacity of their ability to make good decisions. That results in gun violence.
Shabazz went on to talk about the mental illness that our young people are suffering in order for our young people to be able to take life so aimlessly.
She pointed to the recent movie 12 Years a Slave to illustrate her diagnosis. In one scene, a slave is hung from a tree with a rope around his neck and must stand on his tip-toes for a long period of time to survive. Many people saw the slave in distress but did not help him.
Black mobs routinely terrorize cities across the country, but the media and government are silent. Read the detailed account of rampant racial crime in White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It.
Shabazz says that is the situation

Not collective mental illness!! It’s collective evil and collective self-loathing triggering their actions.
Utter horse droppings. My Grandmother was “given” to a Commune farm in the Ukraine when she was 10years old to work as farm labor.
Grandma and Grandpa, with my Dad and Uncle in tow escaped to America.
How come we aren’t out rioting and asking for cradle to grave welfare?
It’s a cultural thing. Our doesn’t suck and celebrate failure like theirs does...
I would ask these people a few pointed questions.
Such as, why didn’t we have all of this violence during the days of legal segregation and discrimination? Why were black families stronger then? Why was the black on white crime rate much lower then? Why was the black on black crime rate lower, for that matter? And while there were youth gangs back then, why didn’t we see all of the drive by shootings then that we see today?
Or are we saying that this “disease” only came about since the civil rights movement gave black people true equal rights? Does that make any sense???
Hey, wait a minute. I just realized we're all Obama's victims now. Did someone say...
Since my mother was victimized by the Nazis...I should be able to comitt crime, too?
Oh wait, I’m white....
It is a kind of hypnosis spread by Al and Jesse...a belief that they personally were afflicted by slavery.
In fact, the belief is so strong that those afflicted are unwilling to leave the plantation.
It is a kind of identity crisis (and not one altogether unexpected)...
Those who make a living on their ancient poverty are calling them back to their painful state. Those hypnotized return like lambs to the slaughter (like zombies).
The only answer is to demonize Al and Jesse and those who profit from this kind of imprisonment of African Americans.
The only answer is the Truth. The only answer is America!
"Just take the free stuff. Don't worry about destroying your kids and grandkids. We're the Democrats, and we're here to help." :~))
How long do people have to work to pay a years taxes? Something like 109 days? So for 109 days you are a slave. And if a 20 year old works until he is 70 that is 50 years X 109 days = 5450 days or 14.9 years of slavery. I WANT MY REPARATIONS FROM THE MAN! I BE SUFFERING FROM THE TRAUMATIC SYNDROME OF SLAVERY!
could it be due to the fact that there are few FATHERS holding their SONS ACCOUNTABLE
could it also be that the recent downwards spiral has something to do with the inspiration of The Great Leaders BEATIFYING Saint Skittles?
mzz shabazz doesn’t want the buck to stop anywhere NEAR her.
How about a culture void of consequences or personal responsibility?
How about a lifetime void of consequences or personal responsibility? That's the story of Obama's life.
He must have majored in "Self Esteem Studies" in college. But then, we'll never know because all of his records are sealed.
the “educated” community organizer types like mizz Shabazz or the feral street punks they make excuses for?
if we could keep the agitators from spreading the word.... before they leave.... the country...it might work otherwise we’d go broke as new propagandist types lined up around the block.
how did half black Obama escape this dread INFIRMITY anyway?
these people such as Miss Shabazz..would be utterly dismissable were it not for their ability to grab tax monies.
Not to mention her evidence is something she saw in a movie.
When a black woman is one of the richest people in America?
When a black man was Secretary of State??
When a black woman was Secretary of State?
When black men have sat -- and do sit -- on the Supreme Court??
When a black would-be despot sits in the White House?????
When countless black men have risen to the top of the ranks of the richest in professional sports and show business?? Men like Hank Aaron. Men like Bill Cosby who... (Never mind. As we all know, Bill's either an Uncle Tom or Oreo Cookie, depending on which black race pimp you listen to.)
And, how about Liberation Theology?
Liberation from WHAT? The chance to achieve and succeed??
Give me a break!!
Let me make it clear right up front: I am NOT a racist. I supported Herman Cain in his run for the Senate and supported him in his run for the WH. And if Allen West goes for it, he, too, has my support.
I also consider Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams two of the finest economists and minds extant today. In case you dont know them, both are black.
Sowell, Williams and Cain among others -- have spoken out against those fellow blacks who castigate and vilify America for a slavery now long in our past. And ALL thinking men and women oppose the periodic calls for reparations. (When he ran, I supported Alan Keyes. I even spoke in his stead on the RTKABA at a Capitol rally and was asked to fill in for him on his radio show at the time. Sadly, while I still consider Alan a good man, I have had to rethink my support since he came out FOR reparations.)
The fact is that the modern descendants of slaves brought here in chains in admittedly miserable, soul-gutting conditions now calling for reparations need to remember something:
They should not only be glad to be in America, they should be glad to be ANYWHERE!
Had their ancestors NOT been brought OUT of Africa many by Muslim slave raiders --the blood of those ancestors would have run into the earth over there several centuries ago, victims of the OTHER black tribes that captured them in one of the interminable tribal conflicts STILL ravaging that sad continent and these modern day would-be "plaintiffs" would not even exist.
And I would remind you that slavery is STILL practiced in parts of Africa (mainly by American BLACK muslims LISTEN UP!! -- MUSLIMS) and Asia today. How ironic that disgruntled American blacks are embracing a system that participated mightily in their initial bondage and would, if Islam takes root here, probably put any who cling to their Christianity back INTO BONDAGE or to the sword. In fact, as the majority of muslims consider black folks as sub-human, many of you black muzzies will get the axe.
95% of the African slaves who were transported across the Atlantic went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions, and that less than 5% of the slaves who crossed the Atlantic went to the United States, it was remarkable that the vast majority of academic research, films, books and articles concerning the slave trade concentrated only on the American involvement, as though slavery was a uniquely American aberration.
And should the great-great-great grandchildren of SLAVE OWNING BLACKS also be subject to PAYING these reparations? If so, how do we find THEM?
And I have traced MY family back to the SLAVS. Although the term looks to be related to slave, depending on your source, it either means glory or worshipper. But my family research indicates that many of my of my ancestors LIVED lives of virtual slavery to some despot or other. Do I qualify for reparations? From whom?? And it begs a question: Are most of us now living here headed into a modern form off that servitude? But thats a topic for another discussion.
The official US Census of 1830 lists 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves. Furthermore, the story outlines the history of slavery here, and the first slave owner, the Father of American slavery, was Mr Anthony Johnson, of Northampton, Virginia. His slave was John Casor, the first slave for life. Both were black Africans. The story is very readable, and outlines cases of free black women owning their husbands, free black parents selling their children into slavery to white owners, and absentee free black slave owners, who leased their slaves to plantation owners. -"Selling Poor Steven", American Heritage Magazine, Feb/Mar 1993 (Vol. 441) p 90
Of course, a full telling of Black History would not be complete without a recitation of the origin of slavery in the Virginia colony: Virginia, Guide to The Old Dominion, WPA Writers' Program, Oxford University Press, NY, 1940, p. 378
A few more salient points on the subject:
Until the US declared independence, the Colonies were REQUIRED by the King of England to embrace slavery.
The Northwest Ordinance (1789) prohibited slavery in federal territories.
A law prohibiting the importation of slaves into the US became effective in 1808.
Beginning in 1820, the Democratic Congress started passing laws allowing and encouraging slavery.
It was only after the Republican Party (many of whom were southern Blacks) was formed some 40 years later that the anti-slavery movement was able to move forward.
And the holier-than-thou Northern liberals are strangely silent on recent archeological evidence from NEW YORK CITY clearly tracing the financing of the slave trade to NORTHERN BUSINESSMEN!!
At the height of his remarkable boxing career, Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay), once declared, Im glad my great-grandpa got on that boat.
And speaking of ancestors, my paternal grandmothers daddy joined with the 80th Ohio Volunteer Infantry early in the War Between the States (re-upped twice) and fought on the Union side at Chickamauga, Vicksburg, Jackson then joined up with Sherman for that infamous march to the sea through Georgia. My wifes great-great grandpappy ALSO fought for the Union. While I revere the memory of my ancestors, inasmuch as that conflict was less about slavery than it was the economic exploitation and abuse of the South by the North, I fear they MAY have been on the wrong side.
Author Robert Hitt Neill tells of attending a Tennessee Mountain Writers Conference years ago with several other authors. Among them was Alex Hailey, celebrated author of Roots. Watching a TV news show, a group of them watched a demonstration in a Southern state against the Rebel flag incorporated into that states flag. The very next report covered a famine in Africa. Graphic images showed dead bodies, starving children with distended tummies and runny noses and dying people covered with flies, too weak to brush them away.
Mr. Hailey intoned in a low, serious voice, Every time an American black sees a story like that, they should find a Confederate flag and kiss it. He then pointed to the TV screen and continued, Because these would be me and my descendants, except for American slavery. I thank God that my family and I are here instead of there.
Next problem!

End the dole and let God sort it out.
Pity partyitis.
And as usual... the Republicans got blamed for the problems.
