Smiley: Uprisings, Riots ‘New Normal,’ Inner City Poverty a Matter of Nat’l Security
Breitbart.com ^ | 5/3/2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/03/2015 12:13:28 PM PDT by Pacothecat

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” PBS host Tavis Smiley said “uprisings and riots” are the “new normal” and “will happen a lot more” unless America addresses poverty in the inner city which he said is becoming a national security problem.

Smiley said, “What do we see in Baltimore and Ferguson and beyond, racism, poverty and militarism. So Poverty is clearly connected to this. My sense is that this is going to become the new normal. These kinds of uprisings and riots will happen a lot more if we can’t get serious about jobs, jobs, jobs with a living wage for all fellow citizens.” He continued, “Poverty I think is threatening our very democracy. Poverty now matter of national security.”

He added, “If we can’t get real serious conversation about jobs with a living wage then what’s the answer going to be? My problem with these Republicans is that they’re against everything but can’t put on the table what they’re really for when it comes to job creation. So for all the years that Barack Obama has been president we’ve been debating how to get the economy started we can’t get serious conversation about jobs.”

Stop stealing, looting and commiting so many crimes in your neighborhood and maybe businesses will move in to create jobs.

A friend was working near a union shipping terminal in New York. He said, “Everything was covered with graffiti except that terminal and their trucks. One day I walked over and asked a driver why there was no graffiti on their trucks or the terminal. He said, ‘’cause we don’t allow it.’” If the local governments didn’t “allow” rioting, it wouldn’t happen. You wouldn’t have to shoot but one or two and it would stop. That’s probably fewer than the deaths that generally occur in riots.

Somebody longs for those long hot summers of the 1960s.. and they don't care what it takes to make it happen.

Lies are a MSM employees' favorite; e.g., all Black Americans are in constant danger from white police, white neighborhood watch, and whites in general.

B.S. When the long hot summers begin I hope said MSM employees are in the middle of it.

With one-sixth the population blacks commit homicide against whites by more than two to one. How about that MSM employees? Any interest in truth?

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

col 1 Col 2

More true statistics (both police records and surveys) here:

The U.S. Department of Justice administers two statistical programs to measure the magnitude, nature, and impact of crime in the nation: the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)

-- with one-sixth the population Black American criminals compete vis-a-vis actual numbers of crimes committed. see tables here

I’d wager that many of those living in poverty in Appalachia and the deep south are living in conditions that make the inner city poor look rich by comaprison.

When was the last time we had a good old Redneck Riot?

My parents grew up in poverty in the South. No indoor plumbing, disease, etc. My mom had two siblings die from pneumonia before she reached the age of 16. Poverty does NOT cause what’s going on in the inner cities - radical racists like Obama do.

Just as soon as Obama and or the dems get amnesty, many blacks who do have jobs will lose them to Latinos and blacks who don’t have jobs will never get one.

They don't want jobs, they just want to sit on their asses smoking dope, drinking booze and making illegitimate babies while collecting their reparations money from the man for the disability of being born Black.

>> give them mandatory birth control.

It would have to be forced *sterilization*. (They’ll cheat at ANYTHING.)

Otherwise... great plan. Free from their crap in a couple generations.
