Crime crackdown compared to slave roundup
WND ^ | 12/27/13 | Colin Flaherty

Posted on 12/28/2013 10:32:20 PM PST by Anila

The reporters thought they were the good guys: Chattanooga is one of the most dangerous cities in America, and their series for The Times Free Press was creating pressure for local officials to do something about it.

Just one month ago the paper was bragging about the initial results of its Speak No Evil series: Police arrested “32 of the worst of the worst” in this city of 176,000 and the newspaper obliged by putting their pictures on the front page.

Everyone arrested was black.

The first phase was over: First, recognize that “most violent crime comes from a very small pocket” of people. Then tell them to stop. Or move. Or get arrested.

Two weeks later, the paper was ready for the next step: Organize a meeting to convince residents in high-crime neighborhoods to give up the code of silence and start calling police when they see a crime.

That's um, that's, what is the word I am looking for?

Members of the group packed the meeting and they were in no mood to listen to the newspaper’s facts: “Of the 122 shooting victims in Chattanooga from Jan. 1 through Nov. 21 of this year, 114 were black, six were white and two were Hispanic, according to figures provided by police. Of the 63 known suspects, only one was white.”

I think I can see a pattern here but I can't quite grasp it.

Facts are racist. That’s the only possible explanation.

In my neck of the woods, the local paper publishes a color double-sided insert of booking photos for property crimes and drunk driving arrests on two consecutive days. 95% are of ... ahem... hispanic extraction, and the balance are various shades of black and white trash. I call it the “local flavor”.

Fence the neighborhoods in and let them police themselves

Someone needs to stand up to the black leaders and question whether they are in contact with the criminal black community. I would bet there are a lot of black people who are tired of the criminals who terrorize every one in their neighborhoods. Shabazz may be right in that there is some serious mental illness going on.

If the crime is associated with drugs, yes, it is a slavery. Drug addiction is an enslavement that can lead to death. And the drug culture is an octopus that has its tentacles of death into all aspects of society.

“Councilwoman Hanifa H. G. Shabazz said the hyper violence in Wilmington is a remnant of slavery and is causing mental illness, causing black people to become self-destructive. She said she came to that realization after watching the movie 12 Years of Slavery.”

First off, it’s “Twelve Years a Slave”. Secondly, Solomon Northrup, the guy who actually was forced into slavery for 12 years, used the horrors of his experience towards a positive end. He became a ferocious abolitionist and lecturer on the realities of slavery. If anyone had a right to see himself solely as a victim and make excuses for his actions, it was probably this guy. But he didn’t, despite going through ordeals that quite frankly probably would have broken many of us.

If the Councilwoman really wants to make things better, it’s time to stop making excuses and start facing the problems head on. That won’t get her re-elected, though. And it’s so much easier to blame than fix.

I wish that someone would finally respond to the likes of Councilwoman Hanifa H. G. Shabazz, the NAACP, black pastors, Concerned Citizens for Justice, and the rest something like this:

“Slavery ended in 1865, get over it. This is not some racist plot of the white community on the black community; this is about crime and criminals. The facts of the case are that Chattanooga has a criminal class and the majority happen to be black. WHY IS THAT? When 12.5% of the country's blacks do 50% of the crime; and of that 50%, why is 90% of the crime done by blacks against blacks?

The time has long passed that the so-called leaders of the black community stop making excuses, pointing fingers at everyone else except the true criminals, blaming everything on white racism, and take a good look at yourselves and your community.

Chattanooga has a crime problem and the black community leaders and other decision makers refuse to admit the truth: you have a very serious crime problem in YOUR community done by black criminals. That crime affects the whole of this community including blacks, whites, Asians, and Latinos.

Denying reality and playing the race card or the “blame Whitey” game cannot hide the obvious fact: the reason why all these men are in custody is because they were preying on the citizens of Chattanooga. They are black. Deal with it. If you so-called community leaders aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. You are the enablers of the criminal black community and you should be ashamed and embarrassed.”

Maybe they could be formed into something like an army with generals Jerkson, Shabazz, and convicted liar out front.
