Racism Is at the Root of Baltimore’s Riots
Frontpagemag.com ^ | May 4, 2015 | Daniel Greenfield

White racism, like disco or barbershop quartets, faded from popularity a while back. The KKK last flourished a century ago by which time it had branched out to ranting about Catholics and Jews. Even then its power was slight and its views less mainstream compared to that of black racists today.

IMO conservatives especially the squishes like Beck or even the girls at NR could legitimately claim to actually save “anti-racism” from the bigotry and racism coming from the Left.

Good article on why no business will want to build in Baltimore.

My Baltimore Business Problem

What it’s like to operate a company 150 yards from the burned out liquor store—and why it’s hard to create jobs.

By Jay Steinmetz
May 3, 2015

Baltimore

The supply-chain management company I started in the late 1990s and lead today is in downtown Baltimore. On the night of the worst violence last month, there were more tempting targets than our cement, nondescript building, like the liquor store 150 yards away that was looted. Yet on any given day what takes place in this neighborhood is a slow-motion version of recent events. Graffiti, which anyone with experience in urban policing will affirm is the first sign of trouble, regularly appears on the exterior of our building. From there the range of crimes escalates to burglarizing cars in the parking lot, and breaking and entering our building.

City policies and procedures fail to help employers address these problems—and make them worse. When the building alarm goes off, the police charge us a fee. If the graffiti isn’t removed in a certain amount of time, we are fined. This penalize-first approach is of a piece with Baltimore’s legendary tax and regulatory burden. The real cost of these ill-conceived policies is to the community where we—and other local businesses in similar positions—might be able to hire more of those Baltimoreans who have lost hope of escaping poverty and government dependency.

Maryland still lags most states in its appeal to companies, according to well-documented business-climate comparisons put out by think tanks, financial-services firms, site-selection consultants and financial media. Baltimore fares even worse than other Maryland jurisdictions, having the highest individual income and property taxes at 3.2% and $2.25 for every $100 of assessed property value, respectively. New businesses organized as partnerships or limited-liability corporations are subject, unusually, to the local individual income tax, reducing startup activity.

The bottom line is that our modest 14,000-square-foot building is hit with $50,000 in annual property taxes. And when we refinanced our building loan in 2006, Maryland and Baltimore real-estate taxes drove up the cost of this routine financial transaction by $36,000.

State and city regulations overlap in a number of areas, most notably employment and hiring practices, where litigious employees can game the system and easily find an attorney to represent them in court. Building-permit requirements, sales-tax collection procedures for our multistate clients, workers’ compensation and unemployment trust-fund hearings add to the expensive distractions that impede hiring.

Posted last week that Baltimore is now an infomercial to both the NRA and U-Haul.

There is no hope for race relations except in an end to black racism. White people have done their part. The only way that the black community can ever learn to heal itself is by rejecting racism and taking responsibility for what is good and bad in its neighborhoods. The white devil exists in the heads of black people. If they cannot break their dependency on him, then they will never be free.

AMEN!

Racism because they have been programmed to blame all their self-inflicted pathologies on Whitey.

If white people believe that the criminal justice system mostly works, it’s because they are racist. If they have a higher net worth, it’s because of racism. If they’re less likely to be arrested, it’s racism at work.

All of this is, in fact, blatant Liberal racism. Racism is and only is the belief that economic and social conditions, status and results are or should be determined by race. Only liberals and Negroes hold to that ideology today, Negroes derivatively from white Liberals. The German NAZIs were true racists. Democrats have been true racists since there were Democrats.

Only Liberals try to determine all relationships by racial proportion and perceived propriety. Only Liberals require that people's beliefs must accord with their racial identities.

Baltimore and Ferguson have shown us that there’s more to our differences than different amounts of melanin can explain.

We are taught that all humans belong to the species of (genus) Homo (species) Sapiens and to the subspecies of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. That all races and ethnicities are actually the same species and subspecies of modern human, i.e. Homo Sapiens Sapiens. However, if one digs deeper into this diversity within our species, several puzzling anomalies come to light. If a person’s race can be determined from his skeletal remains, and a person’s race, ethnicity and lineage can also be determined from their DNA, doesn’t it indicate that the different races and ethnicities represent different subspecies within (genus) Homo (species) Sapiens? If we saw this anomaly among any other animal group, we’d immediately recognize this as proof we were dealing with different subspecies. Some anthropologists now believe that modern humans are descendants of the several, at one time, extant subspecies of Homo Sapiens, with Europeans descending from Homo sapiens-neanderthalensis (Neanderthals).

Now, what would be the point in geneticists, scientists, researchers, and governments to lie or withhold this type of information from us? I think it is a crude attempt to promote world peace. If it is discovered that in fact, the different Human Races are actually different species, this may be justification for racism, genocide, and separatism.
