According to the government's official data, the number of unemployed black Americans is at its lowest since 2007 seemingly confirming President Obama's narrative that "everything is awesome." So, we wondered, if everything's awesome and everyone's got a job, why are black Americans rioting in Milwaukee?
Here is the answer in one chart and one short sentence from a Milwaukee protester...
Jobs are not fungible... Since President Obama was elected, black Americans may have seen their joblessness decline - but since President Obama was elected, income inequality for black Americans has soared...
The solution is simple - as this young black American explains... the violent rioting that occurred last night in Milwaukee is rich people's fault...
This is embarrassing. #Milwaukee pic.twitter.com/It1wkX7eTZTo quote:

"It's sad because you know, this is what happens because they're not helping the black community, like you know, the rich people, they got all this money, and they not, like you know, trying to give us none."
Of course - this lone wolf interviewee does not represent the views of all black Americans, although it appears the focus is not 'the rich' but 'the white' - "Theyre beating every white person!" one of the agitators shouted in the video. "They jumpin' every white person."

And Milwaukee Alderman Khalif Rainey was pretty clear...
"This is a warning cry... Black people of Milwaukee are tired. They are tired of living under this oppression."
So despite eight years of a black President's increasing tyrannical executive orders, black Americans income inequality has soared to record highs.. and yet they continue to support the handouts-party?
You only own that which you are willing and able to protect by whatever means at your disposal.
Are we willing to defend what we think we own? I’m not seeing a lot of signs of that.
That question has not yet been answered.
“I would end the welfare state.”
That would definitely bring things to a head.
“Anybody who wants to start a war/riot/insurrection over it gets shot down dead in the street (or wherever) like the rabid dogs they are.”
It would be a blood shed on both sides. Another civil war with many whites on both sides. It would probably resemble more a left vs right war, an ideological war.
Perhaps secession should be given another chance.
Right. We have been giving reparations for the last 50+yrs.
LOL. Livin’ the dream.
Secession? Who and what secedes? I'm not sure what I would have been in 1860 (quite possibly a Confederate), but I'm pretty sure I'm a Unionist today.
“Secession? Who and what secedes?”
Texas is definitely on the list. There are others too.

But given human nature, things have to get significantly more dire before any concrete steps take place. We will continue to appease, tolerate, give in for a long time to come. Who knows, perhaps forever.
The most likely scenario is each one of us individually will “separate” or secede ourselves from whatever we don’t like and relocate to a place we like, which, I guess is the way things have been for a while - part of freedom of association. Though Obama is trying to squelch this as well, by dictating where people must live and what neighbors they must have.

We are like the proverbial frog in the pot.
Definitely; a lot of white liberals make a LOT of money administering to urban welfare reservations (especially as public school teachers).
