If the transparently outrageous lie of police and generalized American racism is to destroy President Trump, he ought to go down with a ringing refutation of those gross falsehoods. The American people are among the planet's least racist, and blacks' comparative problems, 65+ years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, are primarily of their own making.
If you seek the primary causes of blacks’ problems in America's complex 21st century society, look to their percentage of out-of-wedlock births (75+%), their rate of violent crime (6-8 times that of whites), their perpetrator percentage of interracial white/black crime (85- 90%), and the cultural denigration of studiousness as “acting white,” not to the conduct and attitudes of America's non-black people or its police.
Who will defend this country and its people, collectively more eager to treat everyone fairly than any nation or gathering of people on the planet?

If you must go down, Mr. President, go down with the truth on your lips.
Racism in the US exists only in trace amounts, among the police and the general population, and the little that survives is not the cause of black America's endless litany of unhappiness. The source of the American black despair lies within blacks themselves, their undeveloped abilities and widespread destructive life choices. But the first can never be whispered and second never be spoken.
Cowardice leaves non-existent racism as the default explanation for black failure. And it's all Trump's fault and they're all piling on: The feckless G. W. Bush, the ex-Defense Secretary Mattis, Drudge, the hoary, moss covered Carter, the corporations, the athletes, the airhead celebrities,

Lots of racism on the Left.
Oh parts of it are very racist. Those parts are blue.
Tucker Carlson’s monologue from last night should probably be viewed by every American.
In it he uses data drawn from a Washington Post database on police shooting incidents to draw the following facts:
In 2019 there were 41 incidents in the US where police fatally shot killed and unarmed suspect.
Of those 10 victims were black and 20 were white (the others were either various races or racial data was not captured).
In four of the 10 black shooting cases the police officer was also black.
In three of the cases the officer shot to protect himself as he was in imminent danger from a suspect using a knife, taser or some other weapon.
Two of the shootings were deemed unjustified and those officers were prosecuted.
In 2019 conversely 89 police officers were shot dead by suspects.
Shootings of unarmed black suspects by police have declined 75% since 2010, the year the WaPo began keeping this database.
Barack Hussein Obama was POTUS in 2010.
Facts are stubborn and inconvenient things.
Blacks are racist
I didn’t really understand what’s going on until I read John McWhorter’s piece from 2015 about how “anti racism” is the new religion of the dominant culture. And like most religions, it’s built on articles of faith. You can’t question it; you can’t point out its contradictions or factual errors. Your white privilege is your original sin, and that can never be cast off.
As a white woman who was a minority in my last work place, I (and many other whites) were the on the receiving end of racism. It was terrible at times.
Yep but those facts don’t matter to the left, most of our politicians and even a fair amount on the right.
China and Japan are profoundly xenophobic
Caste system still exists in India
Christians being widely persecuted
Sunni and Shites are perpetually at war

Indeed the most dangerous thing about Black Lives Matter is that they insist that ONLY Black Lives Matter. Lives of any other race do not. That’s an end-of-civilization position to take.
The source of the American black despair lies within blacks themselves, their undeveloped abilities and widespread destructive life choices.
When facts are issued the first thing it’s called is racism and the media are the kings in that arena.
The Antifa parades and the trail of simpletons who fallow are the lemmings the rioters need.
When youve been told only white people can be racist the door to being a real jerk is wide open.
I was watching a Korean baseball game on ESPN the other day when the woke ESPN announcing crew and some equally woke former baseball player were ranting about what a racially intolerant country this was.
All while covering a game in KOREA, where racial diversity does not even exist and only Koreans aren’t treated like outsiders.
America may not be a particularly racist country anymore, but it will become one again at this rate.
When one or more aggressive tribes exist, there is going to be a defensive reaction.
There have been less shootings of blacks by police under Trump than Obama, and black unemployment was also lowest in decades under Trump pre COVID.
Yet they call POTUS a racist and the problem.
It’s utterly disgusting these frauds.
This actually IS a racially diverse country.
And 3/4 of the population is NOT black.
My father always taught me not to pick a fight when you’re outnumbered 3:1.
You’re right. This can only end badly.
Good stats, in general. But how can 3 of the suspects shot have had weapons when it’s a subset of the 41 ‘unarmed’ who were shot. One or the other of those must not be clear of correct.
I believe there are systemic problems, primarily economic, that disproportionately affect blacks. The end of factory jobs, exporting jobs, importing labor have hurt the working class especially when it comes to family formation. Whites affected too, many turning inward to drugs and despair, whereas blacks are more likely to turn outward to crime.
50s and 60s welfare policies explicitly kicked the man out of the home.
The war on drugs as started by Nixon was a means to specifically target black opponents.
Education has fostered black resentment and hence black rejection of education, along with white guilt, leading to alienation rather than true integration.
Education has also fostered a disrespect for the trades. Not everyone is cut out for office work.
America may not be a particularly racist country anymore, but it will become one again at this rate.
When one or more aggressive tribes exist, there is going to be a defensive reaction.

The failure in our honoring the Second Great Command is an immediate consequence of failing to honor The First Great Command.
The Great Hope is that the people rotate their vision 90deg.
and instead of gazing at man’s inhumanity to man,
surrendering to God, and gazing into His Wonderful Face.
