"....Media sensationalism this year about two black deaths at the hands of white policemen inflamed the argument,.........
Here, however, is one standup law-enforcement professional, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., who begs to disagree.
Sheriff Clarke publicly condemns anti-police populism as the Left's deflection of an urban reality with which he's professionally all too familiar and for which the Left's all too politically responsible. "This deflects," says Sheriff Clarke:
against the real thing that we need to have a conversation about in this country and it's the American ghetto. And that's where most of the policing unfortunately has to be applied. The American ghetto has chronic poverty, high unemployment where people can't find meaningful work, and kids shackled to failing public schools ensuring that they won't reach their God-given potential. This creates a permanent underclass in this country and ensures that this group of people will continue to live life at the bottom. That's the kind of conversation that we need to have, as to how these failed liberal government policies have led to the creation and emergence of the welfare state. And that characterizes the American ghetto. Let's have that conversation and get off this nonsense that it's the policing profession that needs to be transformed. There's nothing wrong with the policing of, or institution of, policing in America.

Virtually all of society's present power centers are existentially invested in a civil-rights myth that Sheriff Clarke's black ghetto is the direct consequence of an unmerited white privilege which only massive government coercion and redistribution can remedy.
This perverse myth germinated in academia, but has since become rooted in politics. Because all politics are cultural and academia is the laboratory of culture, the feedback loop is now virtually unassailable....

Oct 20, 2011: “............In his Tuesday lecture before a couple hundred GOP activists in Tampa, [Frantz] Kebreau pointed out that the more than a dozen civil rights acts introduced into Congress over the past century and a half were all introduced by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, often vociferously. In each case a higher percentage of Republicans supported real civil rights than Democrats, including the all-important Civil Right Act of 1964. A full 80 percent of Republicans voted in Congress for this game-changing legislation that was the beginning of the end for Jim Crow. Only 63 percent of Democrats supported it, not including Democratic icon and former Ku Klux Klan member Robert C. Byrd, who filibustered it.
One hundred percent of Republicans supported the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which ended slavery, while only 23 percent of Democrats did. The 15th amendment, giving all Americans the right to vote, was a 100 percent to zero percent Republican shutout.
Democrat Woodrow Wilson, our first true progressive president and touted by John Kerry as one of his favorites, segregated the federal civil service and the U.S. military and bears large responsibility for the decades of segregation that followed and the heartache, violence, and death required to put an end to it.
These historical facts are hiding in plain sight. But we live in an age of historical illiteracy. And these are not things members of the main(left)-stream media would like to talk about even if they knew them, which they don’t.
Nowadays black voters, usually in percentages north of 90 percent, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Democratic Party. Things have been trending in this direction since the New Deal, which provided jobs for many unemployed blacks. The last Republican presidential candidate to receive more than 20 percent of the black vote was Tricky Dick in 1960.
Since then black voter devotion to the Democratic Party has been, excuse the expression, slavish. It’s a real head-scratcher to me on the academic and personal level why this endures now that so many blacks have entered the great American middle class and higher. I’ve known, worked with, played ball with, and buried my nose in the happy-hour froth with so many blacks who are personally conservative, but who almost invariably cast their votes for candidates who do not share their values.
In contrast to the gift of freedom and earned dignity, Democrats and liberals have bequeathed black Americans a stifling welfare system that’s gone more than a fair long way toward dismantling the black family, as the melancholy statistics on out of wedlock births and one-parent families testify to. The Democrats also invented and cling to the policy of affirmative action, which is not a cure for discrimination but a socially corrosive form of it. There’s hardly a more effective way of keeping Americans at war with each other than the racial spoils system of affirmative action, wherein the good things are divided up along racial lines.”.............

For many years the Republicans were the more anti slavery, anti Jim Crow force in the South. The Democrat Dixiecrats were an active force for repressions. However, in recent decades many would argue that there has been a complete reversal of roles in the South, with Republicans adopting much of the Dixiecrat positions.
The Republican party "an active force for repression" in the South?
You're not from the South, are you?
The driving motive behind everything democrats are doing is implementation of CLOWARD PIVEN theory.
If you would be so kind, please provide a few examples of this “reversal of roles”. The left has been making this claim for years but they seem to base it solely on Republican support for voter ID laws. There surely must be more to it than that.
The south was democrat for 100 years just because of Lincoln.
Believe it.
We all know that the demodummies want to keep the blacks on the plantation, feed them free sh&t and keep them dependent on the gubmint (democrats), which in turn will cause these down trodden blacks to keep voting for those who feed them.
Real progress can only be made when the “free sh*t” stops and responsibility for ones self is implemented.
“Personal responsibility” has disappeared from public discourse; while it would certainly address the situation, the fact is that a whole “poverty industry” has grown up that employs millions of people interested in the status quo.
Until blacks are held to the same standard as whites (in education, job performance, even proficiency in English), this can never improve. If whites thing the economy/job prospects today are bleak, imagine how it appears to people with third-grade educations (and first-grade language skills). They can’t compete with imported foreigners, never mind American whites, and will always look to the taxes levied on those other groups for their sustenance.
The groups that successfully challenged public school teachers’ tenure in California used a brilliant strategy, in which they maintained that it violated “Brown vs. Board of Education” by denying minorities an equal education.
“so many blacks who are personally conservative, but who almost invariably cast their votes for candidates who do not share their values.”
Witnessed by my brother who works in Philly. Remember though, these are working people.
When people don’t work, they become like the trees in the bubble out west, they don’t stand up straight and are weak.
I have seen Sheriff David Clark interviewed on Foxnews and I immediately fell in love with him. His mind is a steel trap and his courage, knowledge, experience, conviction and love of his country blew me away. He has to rise to a national leadership level for a man like this comes along once in a hundred years or more. I wish he was running for President. This man will not put up with traitors and communists who really are after only raw power and Revolution. He sees through all that to the real problems facing us. I want to see much more of him in the coming days.
I hope he isn’t “Palinized” by the media; that is an expeditious way to remove such people from the headlines/marginalize them.
As opposition to Obama’s abuse of his constitutional authority and talk of “impeachment” began to arise and his polling numbers fell.
What Obama needed, worked for, and got , by separating and isolating his solid group of supporters the blacks through creating out of whole cloth stories of “victimization”.
Using circumstances where lawless black youths wound up dead in felonious struggles over guns held by figures of authority. Obama used his “Bully Pulpit to reinforce that “victim” agenda in Florida and Missouri. In both cases he portrayed authority as the agressors and the perpetrators as the “victims”
In Florida’s case success was indicated by the number of incidents where members of other races were attacked severly injured or murdered by black youths committing these assults in the name of the so called “victim” All the while Obama neither commented nor condemed such activity.
In Missouri he met with and issued a “stay the course” order to the Ferguson protesters. They in turn coordinated by the usual suspects organized nationwide protests. Their purpose and result was a successful demonstration of what would happen if congress ever moved on any constitutional efforts to restrain or even remove Obama including“Impeachment”..
Lost in all of this was the regimes reaction to the Zimmerman episode and the official solutions it offered at the time. Note the 2nd FR posting which came from HUD.
At the second time the President of the United States interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity in a patrolled area.
Could this attitude be based from the idealized communist concept that there is no such thing as “private” property because the state (collective) owns the land ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3042477/posts
He decided as a solution some eggs are to be broken,. Sacrificed, so that we have an omlet. and follow division tactics advocated by socialist adhearants used to institute a pogrom...Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..
Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.Where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit,and Oakland California.Only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move from their happy collective housing units. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3053314/posts.
If Obama were asked I’m convinced he would affirm the black solution would be creation of such “collectives where everybody regardless of income would reside”.
In the 1870’s the time the country of Germany was being created out of a dozen or more separated kingdoms, entities, and city states. Then emperor Frederick The Great who was dealing with socialist professors Engels, and Marx, demands commented;:
Paraphrased; “The best way I know how to punish a province is let it be run by a (professor)philosopher.”
I don't believe the leftist political/academic industry has shut out any conversation about the economic and social ramifications of the black ghetto solely because they have a vested interest in perpetuating it. I believe they have shut out any conversation about the black ghetto mainly because they cannot openly admit that their own solution to these problems has been at work for years ... and that this "solution" is a national policy of unrestricted abortion aimed at the eradication of the unassimilated inhabitants of the black ghetto.
If blacks EVER figure out what the DEMOCRAT PARTY has done to them, THAT’LL be when things start burning! But alas, they seem to be in a STUPID STUPOR for generations.....and apt to stay that way.
You aren’t a Republican, are you? WTH are you talking about??
And this kind of drives the REAL point home:

Pope Francis splits with GOP "Pope Francis is increasingly driving a wedge between conservatives and the Catholic Church.
The magnetic pope has sparked new enthusiasm around the world for the church and has flexed his political muscles internationally, most recently by helping to engineer a new relationship between the United States and Cuba."....
The Cuban Archipelago "President Obama’s recent move to cozy up to Communist Cuba is a crucially important moment not just diplomatically, but as a moral one in regards to human rights, dignity and justice. As we witness a Radical-in-Chief throwing an economic lifeline to a barbaric tyranny, it is our duty and obligation to shine a light on the dark tragedy of the Cuban Gulag — and to reflect on the unspeakable suffering that Cubans have endured under Castro’s fascistic regime."....
....The Castro regime also has a long, grotesque record of torturing and murdering Americans. During the Vietnam War, Castro sent some of his henchmen to run the “Cuban Program” at the Cu Loc POW camp in Hanoi, which became known as “the Zoo.” Its primary objective was to determine how much physical and psychological agony a human being could withstand. The Cubans selected American POWs as their guinea pigs. A Cuban nicknamed “Fidel,” the main torturer at the Zoo, initiated his own personal reign of terror....
.....A Cuban’s entire life is spent under the surveillance of his CDR, which controls everything from his food rations to his employment to his use of free time. A vicious racism against blacks accompanies this repression. In pre-Castro Cuba, blacks enjoyed upward social mobility and served in many government positions. In Castro’s Cuba, the jail population is 80 percent black, while the government hierarchy is 100 percent white......"
