Father's plea should stir community to action against violence
Milwaukee J-S ^ | 26 may 2014

Posted on 05/26/2014 6:41:02 AM PDT by rellimpank

"Enough is enough. She's innocent. She didn't bother nobody."

That was Onjuan Guyton's plea as his 10-year-old daughter Sierra Guyton struggled for life after being caught in a crossfire Wednesday evening on the playground of Clarke Street Elementary School. Think about that: A 10-year-old shot on her school playground. What kind of world allows that to happen?

We hope Onjuan Guyton's plea of "enough" resonates in the neighborhoods around Sierra's school, and stirs parents, community leaders and young black men to stand up against the violence around them, as columnist James E. Causey urged in his column Friday morning. Without that community effort, Milwaukee police don't have much of a chance against the violence. This has to start in the city's neighborhoods with a refusal to condone violence and a recognition that a gun doesn't make you a man.

We hope it stirs police and city officials to continue their efforts to add more officers to the streets and target them effectively to the places they're needed. A larger police presence sends the message that the city is serious about crime. And more officers should help with a burnout issue described by police union head Michael Crivello and Ald. Bob Donovan. But, as important as it is, just adding more officers is not enough, as Police Chief Edward Flynn and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett have repeatedly argued

A world governed by Liberals.

The single biggest group of violent crimes in America are blacks. It is racist this is allowed to continue.

>>and young black men to stand up against the violence around them

They don’t need to “stand up” to violence. They need to SIT DOWN and stop shooting each other.

What we really need is not “action against violence” — we need kids that are raised by engaged fathers and stay-at-home mothers. (Sorry feminists, you can’t have it all.)

Read this article and you will see why no change will come in the Black communities. this is not racist, it is truth, but there will be some who will call the writer a racist.

...

One might object that there are important group differences among blacks that a white man simply cannot detect. I have done my best to find them, but so far as I can tell, they dress the same, talk the same, think the same. Certainly, they form rival groups, but the groups are not different in any discernible way. There simply are no groups of blacks that are as distinctly different from each other as white “nerds,” “hunters,” or “Goths,” for example.

How the world looks to blacks: One point on which all blacks agree is that everything is “racis’.” This is one message of liberalism they have absorbed completely. Did you do your homework? “Na, homework racis’.” Why did you get an F on the test? “Test racis’.”

I was trying to teach a unit on British philosophers and the first thing the students noticed about Bentham, Hobbes, and Locke was “Dey all white! Where da black philosopher a’?” I tried to explain there were no blacks in eighteenth century Britain. You can probably guess what they said to that: “Dat racis’!” One student accused me of deliberately failing him on a test because I didn’t like black people.

“Do you think I really hate black people?”
“Yeah.”
“Have I done anything to make you feel this way? How do you know?”
“You just do.”
“Why do you say that?”

He just smirked, looked out the window, and sucked air through his teeth. Perhaps this was a regional thing, but the blacks often sucked air through their teeth as a wordless expression of disdain or hostility.

My students were sometimes unable to see the world except through the lens of their own blackness. I had a class that was host to a German exchange student. One day he put on a Power Point presentation with famous German landmarks as well as his school and family.

From time to time during the presentation, blacks would scream, “Where da black folk?!” The exasperated German tried several times to explain that there were no black people where he lived in Germany. The students did not believe him. I told them Germany is in Europe, where white people are from, and Africa is where black people are from. They insisted that the German student was racist, and deliberately refused to associate with blacks.....

“Father’s plea should stir community to action against violence”

LOL! Reeeeealy?

What the hell were you people doing before this?

Oh that’s right, they were actively encouraging the thug culture in youth, not “snitching” on crooks, and sitting around blaming white people for everything.

Just because some little girl got caught in the mess they all help make, that somehow humanity is going to bloom in the hood?

Just have another “peace rally” complete with chumps that pass off as “men of the community” calling for calm, local Al Sharpton clone giving a crappy sermon, Kids reading bad poetry they wrote, and one of the local American Idol rejects doing a cover song calling to love each other. Then go back to your regularly scheduled programming of being hood rats because no one in their right mind takes this seriously.

So sad for that kid to have to be another blood sacrifice for people that cant seem to get a clue.

Look up Joseph Conrad. He pretty much had the answer.

Back when real schools existed, everybody kinda knew this.

Not only “can’t seem to get a clue” - actively refuse to acknowledge any number of clues. Clues are apparently racist.

The democrips foist upon America their version of a champion --little barry bastard boy who hates the America he is working desperately to abort-- and they worship him in a surreal fashion, with media whoredom spewing propaganda daily to prop the lying scumbag up and promote the further division of races and further enslave black people to the government, and now they are mystified as to why the rabble rages against itself?

Of course the dumbed down rabble will blame an inanimate object for the violence, because to admit the real reason for the collapse of the rule of law is too hard to fathom given the dumbed down state the rabble is kept in for democrip empowerment. The taboo structure of society has been systematically destroyed, aborting the life that was America. It has been done for political expediency. The rabble has been herded and suddenly don't like the corral they have eagerly embraced when it meant free from the government.

When the children are raised without a taboo structure, they become rabble roused to rage against itself. And politicians in the democrips and republicant parties want that state of agitation because it empowers them as if they can solve the problems they have wrought.

Obviously, urban culture.

If a simple law were passed mandating vasectomies to all blacks (at the same time as circumcision) born in selected counties in and around selected big cities we would, in 15-20 years see a vast decrease in fatherless young black males along with fewer little girls being shot on the playground.

Once again liberals will call this idea racist even though it is painless and FEW ghetto black males care about having kids anyway and despite the fact that vasectomies could be undone later in life by black “men” wanting to have kids. So, liberalism will keep on causing little girls to be shot on playgrounds, simple as that.

On a bumper sticker, “it’s FATHERLESS black males that is the problem, not guns”. More and more people must start screaming that before politicians will find the backbone to act.

” but the blacks often sucked air through their teeth as a wordless expression of disdain or hostility.”

Or resignation that their argument didn’t make sense but it is all they have.
It is similar to the behavior of cult members when confronted by any criticism of the cult that is irrefutable.

I was thinking more of free abortions for black women. That would make liberal heads explode.

Well, politicians ARE acting. They are the one who have systematically aborted the taboo structure in America. They tell you it is because 'we the people' need to be more tolerant, so they can excise the marriage and family institution which strengthened America. They control your speech and schools, completely, because it is more politically correct. They legislate more and more handouts for fedzilla in the specious name of 'caring, for the children'. Enslaving masses of people under government handouts rather than education, work, and independence is done in the name of compassion.

In the progressive meme enslaving and controlling and herding is tolerant, compassionate, and equality. The German's invented a really equal WAY OF DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE ... GAS CHAMBERS. They tried using trucks in which the exhaust was piped into the ... but that was not efficient enough. The politicians have tried welfare checks to females with dependent children and no father in the household, but that only emptied the households of a father figure. EBT cards are designed to prevent division, allowing ANYONE to use the card for purchasing nearly anything. Must not discriminate don'tchaknow. The money behind the EBT cards is not real anyway ...

The current crop of politicians IS the problem. Do you really want them to act, seeing what diabolical enslavement they have orchestrated to get us to this point in national collapse?
