Walter Williams: Mass Police Brutality Isn't the True Plight of Black Americans
cnsnews.com ^ | 6/9/2020 | Walter Williams

While it might not be popular to say in the wake of the recent social disorder, the true plight of black people has little or nothing to do with the police or what has been called "systemic racism." Instead, we need to look at the responsibilities of those running our big cities.

Some of the most dangerous big cities are: St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Newark, Buffalo, and Philadelphia. The most common characteristic of these cities is that, for decades, all of them have been run by liberal Democrats. Some cities — such as Detroit, Buffalo, Newark, and Philadelphia — haven't elected a Republican mayor for more than a half-century. On top of this, in many of these cities, blacks are mayors, often they dominate city councils, and they are chiefs of police and superintendents of schools.

Bingo. Checkmate. Game, set, match.

This cannot be said enough.

We keep allowing ourselves to chase the squirrels of "white supremacists", "defund the police", "we must do better", etc. when THIS is the REAL story.

Blacks have to start speaking out, and start saying that BLM doesn’t speak for them.

But there is a lot of pressure and intimidation for them to keep their mouths shut.

Young black men are killing each other at a record pace, but the tiny blip that is police killings of black males is the real problem? Black males fear cops? They should fear each other.

Margaret Sanger despised black people, yet her legacy, which includes killing millions of black babies, is wholeheartedly supported by liberals with Planned Murderhood.

Professor Williams, you have been de-raced by Joe Biden. Please turn in your skin.

“ Facts are irrelevant. Only feelings matter” And.... feelings change constantly, which will dictate the actions of those who act on feelings. And, they’re too blind to see it ☹️

I wish Walter Williams would host Rush’s show on occasion as he is brilliant conservative and funny as hell.

The future prospects for black Americans took a serious nosedive when they switched from voting for republicans to voting for democrats.

Blacks kiss the hand that strangles them.

Democrats know that the worse they make the lives of blacks, the more ardently blacks will love Democrats. It is a reinforcing cycle.

Which is why they attack Candace Owens— who clearly will not make a martyr out of George Floyd for many reasons having to do with his criminal past and present,and... for what kind of person he was (and being negro not being the major part of it).

Want to see the machine that Walter Williams is talking about? Close college friend has described the following: Take a look at the Biden VP search, which has thrown out a wide head fake net, to include Val Demings (former completely incompetent police chief Orlando Police Dept. now congresswoman who gladly braggingly was on the democrat “impeachment” committee in the House). A shrewd, stupid woman who pushes “i descended from slaves” as a campaign slogan. Somehow her momma being a maid (which is no small thing in any sense in a normal world) gives her special circumstance, special “inheritance” that gives special treatment and ... shaming.

Remarkably devoid of the understanding that there were no Constitutional tenets supporting the “charges” in the first place, but making it her “ticket”. I0W one of these very political animals, her website is not of her district— no, the background is of EPCOT ===Disney World, and voila! she shows up on ABC news sunday. Her policing filled with incompetence, and partnered with her husband who was county sheriff (again, appalling acts of black on black violence and drug gangs/muslim gangs out of control)— he now is the County Mayor.

A tag team, just as Walter Williams discusses. Mickey Mouse and the “queerocracy” of tourism-— like having a cruise ship coordinator team lord power over everyone else. One of biden’s choices, while the bernie bots in antifa... bern away. Can’t wait for Milwaukee for the reality of what this party is doing to race relations and working people for more than 50 years.

This takes courage. Walter Williams is going to find a horse head in his bed.
