The truth doesn’t matter to the liberals.
One aspect of the Ferguson case hasn’t been reported much. And that is that Ferguson, up till now, had prided itself on being a diverse community. Ferguson is about 2/3 black and about 1/3 white. They had taken pride in being a stable mixed community.
After all of this, I can imagine many of the 1/3 white residents have been making plans to move. In a few years, I can imagine Ferguson will have tipped, will be about 99% black, and the vast majority of those blacks will be ghetto blacks. The businesses which were looted will be long gone. Ferguson will be just another hell hole. And it will be due to these events, and forcing out decent productive people of all races.
It will be just like Detoilet, an unfixable failure with no tax base, because every honest citizen that worked for a living was driven out. All that is left is welfare leeches, whores, drug dealers, and gang bangers. Nobody pays their taxes and the city can’t take the homes for back-taxes because they are worthless.
Your comment is an important one, because it points out succinctly that there’s a subset of blacks that are ghetto blacks. But we need to remember that there are plenty who fall outside that subset.
In my office in Southern California I have some black coworkers and they’re definitely not the grievance-based and hate-based types that we see in inner cities. They’re good people who work just as hard as anyone else in the office and definitely don’t deserve to be lumped in with the “ghetto” subset.
The problem isn’t in the melanin content of the individuals, but in the content of their minds. Hateful thoughts - whether truthful or not - will manifest in a pervasive unhappiness that’ll consume everything else and turn that life to anger, resentment and bitterness, which will be passed on to subsequent generations, thereby perpetuating the cycle that we’re seeing. It can only be fixed from within. External forces cannot repair the problem, but external forces can remove or eliminate the problem. It remains to be seen how this plays out and Ferguson may be the jumping off point for the larger issue.
I grew up in the Bronx. My old neighborhood was predominantly white. I mean, like 95% white. There was minimal crime. Everyone knew their neighbors and watched out for each other. There was even a neighborhood watch. Mostly Irish, a little Jewish and a little other western European. In a five year period that started in the mid 1970s, as more and more landlords began renting to Section 8 tenants and others on welfare, the neighborhood rapidly changed for the worse. The crime was rampant, and whites were moving to the suburbs in droves. There were constant muggings, burglaries, car thefts, vandalism, graffiti, littering, and then the drugs started coming in. The area went to shit overnight. My home had gone from working middle class comprised of cops, firefighters, teachers, civil servants, and small business owners to entitlement recipients. The final straw was when my own grandfather had one of Obama’s sons put a gun to his head and demand whatever money he had on him—a whopping $10. What kind of animal puts a gun to the head of an elderly man who wore a hat and handkerchief and who went to mass every day of his life? Cops were very sympathetic to the working folks who were crime victims then. Even judges were harsh on distributing sentences to those animals who were caught mugging and assaulting the elderly.
I left there a long time ago. To this day, I run into liberals who think I am an intolerant racist because I tell them about my old neighborhood and I refuse to accept that what happened to my grandfather was nothing other than evil and unforgivable. I do not care what they think.
