I read some of the comments on al.com before his photo was posted and a few were inquiring about his race. There were some that asked, “Why does his race matter?”

It matters because to address a problem you have to acknowledge a problem. Ones that don’t want to acknowledge the extreme violence among blacks are part of the problem.

Not acknowledging extreme black violence hurts good black families the most. They need to stand up and make it known that they’re sick of it too.

People in this country may ask: "Is there an epidemic of racial violence in this country?"

The answer to this question may be found in Bill Whittle's excellent video: VIDEO: Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War

In summary, here are the raw statistics for general violent crime Black-on-White and White-on-Black crime from the National Crime Victimization Survey (the branch of the DOJ responsible for collecting these statistics) here are the raw results for 2010:

Here is the RAW disparity between Black-on-White and White-on-Black general violent crime:

But this raw data is misleading, due to disparity in the sizes of the population. Here are the numbers that show the population totals for black and white populations in 2010:

If you normalize the statistics to take into account the relative sizes of the populations, Here are the numbers that reflect the real magnitude of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime:

Furthermore, if you narrow the statistics shown above on violent assault (GENERAL VIOLENT ASSAULT) to a specific type of violent assault (IN THE CASE BELOW, VIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT) , the statistics that Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime take on an entirely different magnitude:

When one looks at these statistics, one can only reach the same conclusion that Bill Whittle did in his video:
"Oh, there's an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right."

Bill Whittle further accurately states:
"Critics will say that I am using these statistics to justify the murder of Michael Brown. But I said at the beginning – if Michael Brown were shot in cold blood then the police officer needs to pay the price for murder. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown. This has EVERYTHING to do with the narrative that the President, the Attorney General, and all of these race hustlers are trying to create using Michael Brown.

There is, in fact, a racial war of violence and hatred in America. Open racism is simply not tolerated in white America today, but black racism is the toxic glue that holds the progressive coalition together. Tolerance of – in fact, as we see from the events in Ferguson, open encouragement of black rage at a narrative that not only does not exist but reverses the daily outrages that do exist, is what defines modern progressivism. It is the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence and bald-faced lies.

And of all the promises broken by this man, surely none is more heartbreaking than the one promise that got him elected in the first place: the promise of a post-racial future. He and his racist progressive cohorts can never surrender the weapon that has gotten them everything, not the least of which is personal political power and trillions of dollars of redistributed wealth. And this latest outrage in Furguson is yet another example – as if another was needed among the economic wreckage, creeping totalitarianism, and foreign-policy disasters -- that he and his leftist cohorts would rather rule over ruins than disappear into the dustbin of a healthy and healed nation."

There were some that asked, “Why does his race matter?”

Well that's a hell of a thing. There's an entire movement underway, nay a REVOLUTION, based on the presumption of racially based oppression. Of course, this whole thing is a crock, but it does have consequences.

I feel a song coming on.

We are at the point where it is irresponsible not to be armed, especially in free States like Alabama.

The good citizens of the USA have been put on notice that the CPUSA and it’s comrades in DC have unleashed it’s black shock troop on them throughout the land, declared an open season on hardworking honest people.

Do not become easy victim of these savages, be armed and aware.

The official line for the last fifty years or more is that white racism causes black crime/violence. (It’s never been explained to me in a way that is not insane how racist whites cause blacks to murder each other at astronomical levels.) And whites commit just as much crime as blacks, but the racist system covers up the white crime. Or blacks don’t commit much serious crime...they’re just arrested by racist, white policemen for trivial drug offenses that whites get away with. Pick your excuse(s).

“Not acknowledging extreme black violence hurts good black families the most. They need to stand up and make it known that they’re sick of it too.” Well and truly stated. Bravo
