Boomer sent this to us. It is quite well worth your time to read it.\u00a0 My response to it is that if Lyndon Johnson, that oversized Texas blowhard, had not started the welfare program that makes a specific population sector dependent on Other a\/k\/a Government for support, we might not have this problem today. The objective of the Democrats has always been to have a population sector dependent on them for everything, especially when that sector is allowed to vote.<\/div>\n

Here is an interesting,\u00a0well written and thought provoking\u00a0perspective on the problem of race\u00a0in America today.<\/b><\/div>\n

The liberal platform excludes any narrative other than that which will mobilize their base, even to the destroying of black lives to make their point.<\/b><\/div>\n

By\u00a0<\/span>L. Todd Wood<\/span><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

ANALYSIS\/OPINION:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I know of no white person alive today in the United States who has ever legally owned a black slave, or any slave for that matter. Almost 700,000 mostly white men died 160 years ago to end slavery. Jim Crow ended generations ago. Yet black America, for the most part, is still locked in inner-city gang violence and economic hardship. Why?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it because America is racist?\u00a0 Is it because of some overhanging white supremacy?\u00a0 Is it because of the Illuminati?<\/span><\/p>\n

No, unfortunately, it is because of black culture and the adoption of Democratic Party government dependency.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have just had eight years of the first black president.\u00a0 Black athletes, and entertainers, routinely earn multi-million dollar incomes.\u00a0 I can easily name several black billionaires without even trying too hard. A large percentage of black America is very successful. But, it is not enough. Too many black youth are being left behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it is no one but black America\u2019s fault.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No one can solve this problem but black America.\u00a0 No one can throw enough money at it.\u00a0 We\u2019ve tried that.\u00a0 Black America needs to look in the mirror and stop blaming others, especially white people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am obviously white and conservative, and I served in the military, which, during my time, was as color blind as you could be. I can also honestly say I don\u2019t give a damn what color your skin is, neither do any of my friends.\u00a0 I do care about your actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blacks are around 15 percent of the population. Depending on what study you look at, they commit around 40 percent to 50 percent of violent crime in America. Of course, there is going to be a problem with police.\u00a0 And, of course, there are some bad policemen.. However, those bad apples do not kill black people statistically anymore than they kill white people.\u00a0 Even Harvard said that recently. If you were a cop, and you had to work in a neighborhood infested with crime and murder, wouldn\u2019t you act differently than in a neighborhood where there was little crime? The most effective thing black America could do to improve its relationship with police is to significantly reduce violent crime where they live.\u00a0 Yes, that means change the culture of where you live and your community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I for one am tired of being blamed.\u00a0 I am tired of dealing with people who only want something from others.\u00a0 I don\u2019t oppress anyone.\u00a0 I don\u2019t hold anyone down.\u00a0 I\u2019m tired of getting on the D.C. Metro and seeing white people being harassed by roaming gangs of black youth with their pants around their knees.\u00a0 Yes, you want a white person uncomfortable?\u00a0 That makes me uncomfortable.\u00a0 It\u2019s our nation\u2019s capital and it\u2019s embarrassing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blacks have nothing but opportunity in America.\u00a0 Try finding the same opportunity anywhere else in the world.\u00a0 If you are born in America you\u2019ve won life\u2019s economic lottery.\u00a0 Take advantage of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is this generation has been taught an agenda of cultural Marxism by our education system.\u00a0 They\u2019ve been taught to be a victim, and it\u2019s still going on.\u00a0 All you have to do is watch the young black, female student at Yale screaming at the college president to understand that.\u00a0 Blacks in America don\u2019t even know how good they got it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t kneel when my anthem is played.\u00a0 Too many people died for that flag.\u00a0 You\u00a0are free to protest but NOT\u00a0then!\u00a0\u00a0I am free to not watch or pay to watch you play if you do that.\u00a0 The NFL should make it a rule that you stand for the national anthem.\u00a0 There is no free speech to disobey a private employer on private property.\u00a0 This would solve the problem immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The NFL has deeply offended most of America.\u00a0 They will pay an economic and reputational price, as they should.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a real cultural problem in this country, the result of the Leftist multicultural agenda.\u00a0 Multi-ethnicity is perfect and should be encouraged..\u00a0 Having more than one American culture is destroying the country.\u00a0 But then again, that is what the Left wants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Black Lives Matter?<\/span><\/p>\n

It is your job to determine if this is a racist rant or just a review of factual data.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IF ALL THE BLACKS SUDDENLY LEFT AMERICA, WHICH IS 13.3% OF THE TOTAL U.S.POPULATION:<\/span><\/p>\n

Amount of people in poverty would drop – 34%,
\nThe prison population would go down by -37%,
\nWelfare recipients would go down by – – – 42%,
\nGang members would go down by – – – – – 53%
\nChlamydia cases would go down – – – – – – 54%,
\nHomelessness would go down – – – – – – – -57%
\nSyphilis would go down\u00a0 – – – – – – – – – – – – 58%.
\nAIDS & HIV would go down by – – – – – – – -65%,
\nGonorrhea would go down – – – – – – – – – – -69%,
\nAverage ACT scores would go UP – – – – – 5.5 points.
\nAverage IQ would go UP – – – – – – – – – – – -7.4 points,\u00a0 putting us 3rd in the world tied with Japan,
\nAverage SAT scores would go UP almost – – – – -100 points,
\nThe average income for Americans would go UP over $20,000 a year, but Democrats would lose 76% if their voting base.<\/span><\/p>\n

And many criminal defense lawyers would have to find another line of work!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, black lives DO matter!<\/span>–<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
