I never imagined that we would reach a point in this country where facts would be ignored on a national level. We seem to have reached it with the Michael Brown case.
As I watched the spectacle of our elected official in the Congressional Black Caucus stand on the house floor and use the debunked “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture, I realized that black America has reached a point of no return. Every day since the Grand Jury decision was released (along with the autopsy findings and witness testimonies), our so-called black elected leaders along with black academics have appeared on network news programs making absurd pronouncements as though there had not been a Grand Jury proceeding. They outright ignore the facts and pretend as though Michael Brown did not commit any crime at all. They are able to continue such foolishness with the help of their cohorts in the left-wing media. Even some of the so-called black pastors are continuing the lie. It is obvious that these individuals are living in some alternate universe different from the rest of America.
Missouri state senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who represents Ferguson in the state legislature, went on national television and declared, “This is our race war.” If the rioting and looting that took place in Ferguson were indeed their race war, whom were they fighting? It appears that they were at war with themselves, since they burned down their own community. They surely were not at war with white America.

And there will be another “white on black” crime, er, injustice that will stoke the flames.
Yes sir...I have seen many islanders comer here and be successful. They in no way embrace nor represent the democrat view of the black community/plantation...
You nailed it. Pockets of failed subculture that is also the primary focus of celebration for the left, as it represents MAXIMUM FAILURE to acclimate to the American cultural tendency to embrace excellence.
They have managed in the past 50 years to turn a minority struggling to gain political and economic equality (and quickly winning the fight) backwards into a basket case culture of American Palestinians more separated from American society (except in their dependence on big government and the Segregationist Party) than ever.
Who says the old Plantation system is dead? It's alive and well. The modern Plantation masters are still in nearly complete control of their willing slaves.
But as usual, a few uppity ones have survived and escaped. Unfortunately, there are damned few of them and most of them have to live in fear and hide for their lives.
Great post!
What a phenomenal waste of human capital.
And yes, I feel they have past the point of no return. The inner cities already look like the set of “Escape from New York”. I think the Democrats and race baiters have really done it this time. Start putting up the walls and guard towers.
Yes—thank you!
I goofed up “hear hear” the first time I tried that line as well :)
Wow. Good looking, well educated, smart, and has served her country in the military. She has also earned a degree in common sense.
I think it has. With a 70%+ illegitimacy rate, a culture that glorifies play rather than work or education, role models that are entertainers rather than parents, clergy, “educators” business owners. Underachievement in both the schools and the workplace. Schools and neighborhoods that are crapped out and will be crapped out after moving in. A “it’s never our fault rationalization”
Failure to criticize those who are the worst offenders, be they charlatans like Sharpton, Jackson, FarraConMan, Waters, Lee, Holder, Obamas, Conyers, Booker. Their “leadership” is bankrupt and permanently stuck on the Far Left’s White Dominated Plantation
And an obsession with race and a Blame Game with false “racism” egged on by a cowarldly, pandering “media” that refuses to find real racism or “hate” outside of whites-only and constantly excuses uncivilized behavior and attitudes.
It’s Rx for disaster and we see it unfolding before out very eyes.
Pockets of failed subculture will be around as long as powerful interests are allowed to exploit it for political gain.
That's a curious statement.
At what point would you say "they have reached the point of no return"?
It can't be said until they actually reach that point.
Generally you don’t get medals for saving your own life, but in any event the willful misrepresentation of the events surrounding this shooting is unjustifiable and a great disservice to the work quietly done every day by the men and women in law enforcement. This young man’s life should not be ruined because he defended himself in a no-win situation.
Even the residents of Ferguson acknowledge we’ve hit a wall with their slogan: Black lives matter.
Not really.
The Great Society has been telling inner city black men that they don’t matter for three generations.
This is the result.
The lives of black men don’t matter.
That’s not my opinion.
It’s the opinion of the United States Government.
If you’re a poor black woman in America, here is the welfare-created message from our govt to you: “here’s your check, stay out of our economy and society.”
If you’re a poor black male, the message is substantially different. “Get lost. Kill yourselves, go to jail, we don’t care. Your life doesn’t matter.”
That’s a fifty-year message.
The solution is to stop the official government policy that black men don’t matter. The welfare state IS the problem.
75% due to msm’s lies and 25% due to black leaders’ lies.
Your post seems to miss the fact that black people all over the country are seeing through the lies.
And it’s not because they read some article.
80% illegitimacy rate in poor black neighborhoods.
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.
Liberals need Ferguson and race riots to distract from the utter failure of liberalism and black culture.
Awesome lady! Hope to hear more from her!
We need a million just like her!
