IF BLACK LIVES MATTER, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BLACKS MURDERED BY BLACKS?
“Black
Christians should protest the Democrat party's anti-Christian agenda which has
led to the moral decay of the black community; fatherless households, gangs,
crime, generational poverty, incarceration, and record-high black on black
homicides.” LLOYD MARCUS
Blacks are only 13% of the population. White America
gifted its first black president two terms. And yet, far too many blacks
absurdly believe Democrats' and fake news media’s lie that white America did
not want a black man in the White House. If America is such a hellhole of
racism, how did Oprah Winfrey, a dark-complexioned stout black woman, become
one of the wealthiest and most influential persons on the planet? The myth of
America's racism is evil, destructive, and must end. LLOYD MARCUS

Black Lives Are a Pretext
Origins of the violent racist organization behind the riots.
[David Horowitz is the author of Blitz: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win, which was released June 2 by Humanix Books: Order Here.]
Black Lives Matter emerged as a national presence in the years 2014 and 2015 by declaring war on America’s law enforcement agencies. Black Lives Matter activists made headlines occupying America’s streets, targeting racially integrated and even majority minority police forces whom they accused of killing blacks at random merely because they were black. The Black Lives Matter activists fomented riots, burned and looted cities, and incited their followers with chants that ranged from “What do we want? Dead Cops! When do we want them? Now!” to “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot.”[1]
The latter slogan was designed to highlight the movement’s baseless claim that a 19-year-old resident of Ferguson Missouri Michael Brown was singled out because he was black and shot by a police officer while he was surrendering with his hands up.[2] The protesters demanded that the officer be convicted of murder in advance of any trial - in other words, lynched. However, the facts as revealed in Grand Jury testimony and subsequent investigations by the Obama Justice Department, were quite different. The officer singled out the 300-pound Brown because he had just committed a strong-arm robbery at a convenience store owned by a much smaller Asian shopkeeper, whom he brutalized.
When the officer attempted to arrest Brown, he responded by attacking the officer and attempting to seize his gun, which was discharged in the scuffle wounding the attacker. According to the sworn testimony of six black eye-witnesses, Brown was fatally shot while charging the officer, who fired another five rounds in self-defense. Yet, so disregardful of the facts were the protesters’ claims that they demanded the officer be convicted of a racial homicide, and the chant “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” continued to live on as a battle cry.[3]
Black Lives Matter was formed in 2013 by three self-styled “Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries,” who selected as their movement icon convicted cop-killer and Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur.[4] Shakur had fled to Cuba after being convicted of the homicide she committed when her car was stopped for a broken tail-light by two New Jersey state troopers. Without any warning, Shakur shot trooper Werner Foerster. The 34-year- old Vietnam veteran was lying wounded on the ground pleading for his life, when Shakur walked over and executed him. Officer Foerster left a widow and a three-year-old son.[5] Black Lives Matter activists refer to the murderer as “our beloved Assata Shakur” and chant her words as a ritual, “at every meeting, every event, every action, every freeway we’ve shut down, every mall we’ve shut down.” [6] The chant is this: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” The last line is lifted directly from the conclusion to the Communist Manifesto, a document and war cry that has led to the murders of millions.[7]
The Black Lives Matter movement is not about particular injustices but about the alleged injustice of the American system, of capitalism, and of “white supremacy.” Its mission is not to save black lives. The thousands of deaths from black-on-black homicides draw no attention and inspire no protests, nor do the deaths of black police officers on the integrated police forces they attack. Their ferocious denunciations of slogans like “All Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter” as “racist” reveal the racist impetus behind their own agenda.[8]
This agenda was on display in November 2015, when a group of 150 Black Lives Matter activists stormed the library at Dartmouth College and screamed at the bewildered students studying for exams: “F--k you, you filthy white f--ks!,” “F--k you and your comfort!” The activists ordered students who supported them to stand up, and verbally attacked those who refused, screaming at one of them: “You filthy white racist piece of sh-t!” When a female student burst into tears, a Black Lives Matter activist shouted “F—k your white tears.” Then: “If we can’t have it, shut it down.”[9] The only thing missing were black hoods and black sheets to complete the perverse parallel to the KKK racists of the past.
At the July 2015 Netroots Nation convention, a major gathering of the left, activists shouting “Black Lives Matter” blocked two leftist presidential candidates, Bernie Sanders and Kevin O’Malley from speaking because they were white. Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors seized the microphone and said by way of explanation, “Every single day folks are dying. Not being able to take another breath. We are in a state of emergency. If you don’t feel that emergency, you are not human.”[10] O’Malley responded to this: “I know, I know, Let me talk a little bit... Black lives matter, white lives matter, all lives matter.”
As the words left O’Malley’s mouth, the crowd erupted in boos and catcalls. Then they chanted:
If I die in police custody, don't believe the hype. I was murdered!
Protect my family! Indict the system! Shut that sh*t down!
Protect my family! Indict the system! Shut that sh*t down!
If I die in police custody, avenge my death!
By any means necessary!
By any means necessary!
If I die in police custody, burn everything down!
No building is worth more than my life!
And that's the only way motherf***ers like you listen!
No building is worth more than my life!
And that's the only way motherf***ers like you listen!
If I die in police custody, make sure I'm the last person to die in police custody.
By any means necessary!
By any means necessary!
If I die in police custody, do not hold a moment of silence for me!
Rise the f*** up!
Because your silence is killing us![11]
Rise the f*** up!
Because your silence is killing us![11]
“Burn everything down!” is a slogan that mimic’s Marx’s claim that “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” The nihilistic racism of the Black Lives Matter message is based on a demonstrably false premise – that police have declared open season on black men. The premise is false not only because America’s police forces have long been racially integrated. But as black talk show host Larry Elder and many conservative writers have observed, the proportion of blacks killed by police is directly related to the number of violent crimes committed by black males and thus likely proportional to the number of blacks involved in violent encounters with the law.
Despite being almost 65 percent of the population, whites commit disproportionately fewer of the nation’s violent crimes – 10 percent - and therefore are less likely to have encounters with police. Blacks are only 13 percent of the population, and black males, who commit the lion’s share of the violent crimes only 6 percent. Yet Black males account for nearly half the nation’s homicides.
Despite this disparity, whites are still 50 percent of the victims of cop shootings. Criminology professor Peter Moskos looked at the numbers of people killed by officers from May 2013 to April 2015 and found that 49 percent were white, while 30 percent were Black. In other words, if the statistics are adjusted for the homicide rate (as opposed to population numbers) whites [pursued by police] are 1.7 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.”[12] And even this statistic doesn’t factor in the number of blacks killed not by white law enforcement officers but by black and minority ones.
Despite Black Lives Matter’s racist agendas, incitements to violence against police, and disregard for the facts, President Obama invited its leaders to the White House in February 2015 at the height of their protests, riots and incitements. When the Black Lives Matters leaders arrived in the White House, Obama put his arms around them figuratively. and pandered to them saying, “They are much better organizers than I was when I was at their age, and I am confident that they are going to take America to new heights.”[13] Think about that statement for a moment.
In August 2015, the Democratic National Committee passed a resolution endorsing the Black Lives Matter movement and its false narratives: “[T]he DNC joins with Americans across the country in affirming black lives matter and the ‘say her name’ efforts to make visible the pain of our fellow and sister Americans as they condemn extrajudicial killings of unarmed African American men, women and children.”[14] This shameful resolution went on to claim that the American Dream “is a nightmare for too many young people stripped of their dignity under the vestiges of slavery, Jim Crow and White Supremacy,” and to demand the “demilitarization of police, ending racial profiling, criminal justice reform, and investments in young people, families, and communities;” and asserted that “without systemic reform this state of [black] unrest jeopardizes the well-being of our democracy and our nation.”
The following month Black Lives Matter activists Brittany Packnett, DeRay McKesson, Johnetta Elzie, Phillip Agnew, and Jamye Wooten were invited to the White House to meet again with President Obama as well as senior advisor Valerie Jarrett and other administration officials. For Packnett, it was her seventh visit to the Obama White House. Afterward, Packnett told reporters that the president personally supported the Black Lives Matter movement. “He offered us a lot of encouragement with his background as a community organizer, and told us that even incremental changes were progress,” she stated. ““He didn’t want us to get discouraged. He said, ‘Keep speaking truth to power.’”[15] Evidently it was the police forces in Dallas, Chicago, Baltimore and other cities, headed by blacks and under siege from the left, that was the “power” needing to be confronted.
In October, Obama made a public announcement in support of Black Lives Matter, saying: “I think the reason that the organizers used the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ was not because they were suggesting nobody else’s lives matter. Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that’s happening in the African-American community that’s not happening in other communities. And that is a legitimate issue that we’ve got to address.”[16]
The president’s support for a racist and violent vigilante group, his validation of its false version of reality and hostile attitude towards law enforcement, led predictably to more criminal violence. On July 7, 2016, Black Lives Matter activists staged rallies in numerous cities across the United States, to protest the recent shootings of two African American men by police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana. As was their practice, the demonstrators illegally occupied public thoroughfares and threatened violence chanting “No justice, no peace,” – a transparent threat to create mayhem if their demands were not satisfied. The Minnesota shooting by a Hispanic policeman was triggered by panic and should have been prosecuted as manslaughter; the other was the justifiable killing of a career criminal who was reaching for the officer’s gun. But like the lynch mobs they despised, Black Live Matters protesters were not interested in seeking remedies through the law. They had persuaded themselves there was no such remedy, and had been encouraged by the American president to take the battle to the enemy camp, which consisted of America’s integrated law enforcement agencies.
The result was, inevitably, tragedy. At a rally in Dallas, Texas, demonstrators shouted “Enough is enough!” while they held signs bearing slogans like: “If all lives matter, why are black ones taken so easily?”[17] During the demonstration, a black racist army veteran, named Micah Johnson, assassinated five police officers trying to protect the protesters, and wounded 9 others. Dallas police chief David Brown, who is black, explained: “The suspect wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”[18]
The anger generated by the lies of Black Lives Matter reached such a fever point in the wake of the Dallas massacre that, to justify the atrocity one Black Lives Matter activist speaking to a CNN reporter shouted: “The less white babies on this planet, the less of you we got! I hope they kill all the white babies! Kill ’em all right now! Kill ’em! Kill your grandkids! Kill yourself! Coffin, bitch! Go lay in a coffin! Kill yourself!”[19]
In the face of this racist hatred, the Obama White House stepped forward to provide still more support for the movement that had provided the tinder and lit the fuse. At the funeral for the slain Dallas policemen, the president lectured the surviving officers rather than the rioters, schooling them and the grieving family members about the racism of America’s police departments: “We also know that centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery, and subjugation, and Jim Crow; they didn’t simply vanish with the law against segregation … we know that bias remains.”[20]
Exactly whose bias? White Americans played a large and historic role in the civil rights struggles that ended segregation, and established the Civil Rights Acts. There is no evidence that the shooter, Micah Johnson was harassed by, or suffered at the hands of white people. But there was evidence that he was influenced by Black Lives Matter and similar organizations at war with the police. And he was deeply affected by the series of false, racist narratives promulgated by these organizations and their allies in the press about the police shootings that had occurred over the previous two years.
The police were also profoundly affected by officer shootings and, even more so, officer assassinations, anti-cop demonstrations, riots, and threats. According to a Pew Foundation study published in 2017, “More than three-quarters of U.S. law enforcement officers say they are reluctant to use force when necessary, and nearly as many — 72% — say they or their colleagues are more reluctant to stop and question people who seem suspicious as a result of increased scrutiny of police, …”[21] This attitude on the part of police in areas which had become the focus of the protest-assaults – Ferguson, Baltimore, Dallas, Chicago – was accompanied by a dramatic spike in homicides with the perpetrators and victims being overwhelmingly black.[22] As former Baltimore cop and now university criminologist Peter Moskos commented: “Murders and shooting increased literally overnight, and dramatically so. Of course, this took the police-are-the-problem crowd by surprise. By their calculations, police doing less, particularly in black neighborhoods, would result in less harm to blacks. And indeed, arrests went way down. So did stops. So did complaints against policing. Even police-involved shootings are down. Everything is down! Shame about the murders and robberies, though.”[23]
The entire syndrome of police withdrawal leading to spikes in crime rates was termed “The Ferguson Effect” after the city that was looted and burned following the shooting of Michael Brown, and the creation of the myth that he was killed with his hands up. It summed up the unintended – but not surprising – consequences of having an extremist organization like Black Lives Matter take over the nation’s streets, and – with the help of an American president - shape the national narrative on race.
The power of Black Lives Matter stemmed from its exploitation of the ideology of oppression – Identity Politics – a ready-made indictment looking for a crime. Black Lives Matter was at the center of a very large network, including hundreds of leftist organizations sharing the same vision. Among them: The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Dream Defenders, Hands Up United, Black Left Unity Network, Black Workers for Justice, Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Right to the City Alliance, School of Unity and Liberation, Dignity and Power Now, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, Causa Justa/Just Cause, Organization for Black Struggle, Communist Party USA, Showing Up for Racial Justice, and others.
Many of these organizations are funded by America’s largest corporations and philanthropies, including the Ben & Jerry Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Margaret Casey Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and George Soros’s Open Society Institute.
In the summer of 2016, the Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund, a six-year pooled donor campaign whose goal was to raise $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition. This coalition embodies the extremist views and agendas of the Black Lives Matter radicals. In the official words of the Ford Foundation: “The Movement for Black Lives has forged a new national conversation about the intractable legacy of racism, state violence, and state neglect of black communities in the United States.” (Emphasis added) According to Borealis, “The Black Led Movement Fund provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working to advance the leadership and vision of young, black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America.”
In a joint statement, Ford and Borealis said that their Fund would “complement the important work” of charities including the Hill-Snowden Foundation, Solidaire, the NoVo Foundation, the Association of Black Foundation Executives, the Neighborhood Funders Group, anonymous donors, and others. In addition to raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives, the Black-Led Movement Fund planned to collaborate with Benedict Consulting on “the organizational capacity building needs of a rapidly growing movement.”[24]
The fact that Black Lives Matter was now a major national movement funded by America’s establishment elites did not prompt its communist founders to reconsider their political infatuation with totalitarians or their anti-American agendas. When Cuba’s sadistic dictator Fidel Castro died on November 25, 2016, the Black Lives Matter leadership published an article titled, “Lessons from Fidel: Black Lives Matter and the Transition of El Comandante.”[25] It began, “We are feeling many things as we awaken to a world without Fidel Castro. There is an overwhelming sense of loss, complicated by fear and anxiety. Although no leader is without their flaws, we must push back against the rhetoric of the right and come to the defense of El Comandante. And there are lessons that we must revisit and heed as we pick up the mantle in changing our world, as we aspire to build a world rooted in a vision of freedom and the peace that only comes with justice. It is the lessons that we take from Fidel.”[26]
The eulogy then turned to Black Lives Matters’ own icon, cop-killer Assata Shakur, who fled to Cuba to avoid paying for her crime: “As a Black network committed to transformation, we are particularly grateful to Fidel for holding Mama Assata Shakur, who continues to inspire us. We are thankful that he provided a home for Brother Michael Finney Ralph Goodwin, and Charles Hill, [cop-killers and airplane hijackers-DH], asylum to [Black Panther leader, rapist and murderer] Brother Huey P. Newton,[27] and sanctuary for so many other Black revolutionaries who were being persecuted by the American government during the Black Power era.”[28]
The eulogy expressed gratitude to Castro for “attempting to support Black people in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina when our government left us to die on rooftops and in floodwaters.” This was another Black Lives Matter lie obvious to anyone who watched the rescue efforts on TV, where virtually all the rescuers were white and all the rescued black. Responsibility for the failure to evacuate residents rested squarely on the Democrat mayor of New Orleans who was black and was eventually sent to prison for his crimes. The eulogy lauded a dictator who put AIDS sufferers, many of whom were black, in concentration camps for having “provided a space where the traditional spiritual work of African people could flourish.” In a religious language suited to their adoration, the tribute closed by saying: “As Fidel ascends to the realm of the ancestors, we summon his guidance, strength, and power as we recommit ourselves to the struggle for universal freedom. Fidel Vive!”
As delusional and repellent as these sentiments should be to any American, and as troubling coming from an organization endorsed by the Democrat Party and supported by American philanthropy and the Obama White House, they are matched if not exceeded by Black Lives Matter’s endorsement and embrace of Islamic terrorists who have sworn the destruction of Jews, Christians and the United States. In January 2015, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors joined representatives from Dream Defenders on a 10-day trip to the Palestinian Territories in the West Bank. Their objective was to publicly draw a parallel between what they portrayed as Israeli oppression of Palestinians and police violence against blacks in the United States.[29] The following August, Cullors was one of more than 1,000 black activists, artists, scholars, politicians, students, and “political prisoners,” to sign a statement of alliance with the Hamas terrorists who ruled the Gaza strip.
Proclaiming their “solidarity with the Palestinian struggle and commitment to the liberation of Palestine’s land and people,” the Black Lives Matter group demanded an end to Israel’s “occupation” of “Palestine,” condemned “Israel’s brutal war on Gaza and chokehold on the West Bank,” and urged the U.S. government to end all aid to Israel. They also exhorted black institutions to support the terrorist-sponsored Boycott, Divestment, & Sanctions movement designed to strangle the Jewish state.[30] On their return to the states, the repulsive call for liberation “From Ferguson to Palestine” quickly became a slogan of the movement.[31]
Black Lives Matter had in fact achieved a kind of transformation, although it was more the climax of a trend that had begun with the death of Martin Luther King, than something original. President Obama had touched on it in his attempts to conflate what he called the “messy” aspects of the Black Lives Matter “protests” with what he regarded as similar rough edges he detected in the civil rights and suffragette movements of the past.[32] But those movements and their leaders were clearly part of the American tradition and their allegiances and beliefs could be traced back to the Founders who had created a Republic based on democracy and individual rights. By contrast, Black Lives Matter leaders identified with alien, totalitarian forces, with Islamic imperialists and terrorists who were conducting a 70-year genocidal aggression against the Jewish state. They had joined declared enemies of the United States and its democratic ally. This was a foretaste of the insurrection they are now leading, setting fire to the country that made them the freest, richest and most privileged black community in the world.

Black Lives Matter: Nothing but domestic terrorists
If
we believe the liberal news media's framing of the narrative for the last week
of violence, arson, looting, and personal injury, it was caused by the police
who murdered an innocent and unarmed black man because of "systemic
racism," and a valiant group of freedom fighters from Black Lives Matter
rose up to protest peacefully, showing white America the error of our
ways. That's the fantasy anyway.
The
reality is that Black Lives Matter (BLM) intimidates, terrorizes, and uses
violence to achieve its goals. In cities across this country last
week, BLM signs and graffiti were front and center, accompanying both the
chanted protests and the ensuing arson and looting. The anarchists
shut down freeways, destroyed property, and looted stores. Rocks,
bottles, and other projectiles were thrown at police who attempted to break up
the mayhem, and "Black Lives Matter" was spray-painted by the mobs on
buildings, sidewalks, signs, and even monuments. That's how they got
their message out.
Although
it's possible that some of the violent rabble-rousers weren't affiliated with
BLM, the organization didn't specifically condemn the acts, nor the use of
their name prominently displayed on burned-out buildings and demolished
stores. At least it wasn't on their website or on any national news
I saw. One would think that if an organization wanted to distance
itself from violent acts, it would post something on the home page of its
website, as well as in interviews with the news media. The closest
they get to a plea for peace on their website is this: "We embody and
practice justice, liberation, and peace in our engagements with one
another." Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a lot of peaceful
engagement taking place with BLM activists. What I saw was a lot
of angry black (and white) men running from the police as they broke windows
and took clothes and electronics as souvenirs of their night on the town.
This
violent, far-left group has been allowed to exist without questioning their
acts is because it's a sop to black people from guilt-ridden
liberals. The lying and corrupt news media will pounce on anyone who
criticizes BLM because it's an easy way for them to link criticism of a black
organization with racism. BLM is a domestic terrorist group and
should be labeled as such by both the left and the right. That isn't
hyperbole; that's a fact, because those people seek to dismantle our system of
justice and institute their own, which is stated this way on their website:
"We call for a national defunding of police. We demand
investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only
survive, but thrive." I have no idea what their demand for some vague
"resources" may mean, but it's obvious that welfare, job training,
housing assistance, free meals at schools, and free medical care aren't enough. Also on their
site, they say that "we disrupt [yes, that's the word they use] the
Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each
other as extended families[.]" So, communism then?
Last
Friday, May 29, our nation was rocked with protests and ensuing riots that were
highly organized as they took place almost simultaneously in the cities of
Seattle, New York, Boston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland,
Flagstaff, Salt Lake City, Des Moines, Reno, Detroit, Memphis, Dallas, Houston,
Richmond (Va.), Fargo, Oklahoma City, Louisville, Cleveland, Tulsa, Washington,
Nashville, Albany, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis,
and others with handmade "Black Lives Matter" signs prominent at each
protest or riot I saw on TV. What this suggests is that they were
coordinated and executed by BLM in order to shut down and cause chaos in some
of America's busiest and most populated cities. Admittedly, they
were able to do that. However, they've overplayed their
hand. Whether intentional or not, TV viewers have linked the initial
protests with the later violence, arson, and looting because they took place in
conjunction with each other in all of the cities featured on the national
newscasts.
BLM
claim to want "justice," which is an outright lie. The last
thing these people want is to let any of their pet causes make their way
through the American judicial system. They want special
treatment, but more than that, they want mob rule. They chant
"no justice, no peace" (a hackneyed phrase they couldn't resist
appropriating), yet they call for the police departments of America to be
defunded and dismantled. How will that further the goal of seeking
"justice"? Do they want the authorities to hand over
anyone that BLM deems a threat and let the horde act as judge and
executioner? Sadly, I think the answer is obvious.
Make
no mistake. This is anarchy by domestic terrorists, and their goal
is to tear down the system and possibly this country in order to achieve their
stated goals. If we want to preserve our country in a way that
respects law, order, and the best justice system that civilization has
developed, we need to oppose Black Lives Matter. That begins with
identifying them as domestic terrorists. Their actions have merited
nothing less.
A Deliberately Bankrupted
America
Why
are the cities burning? African Americans have been a part of our history since
our nation’s founding -- they fought for independence. They are found on
the Supreme Court, in military leadership, as
prominent mayors, Members of Congress, academics, authors, cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, police chiefs, surgeons, business owners, entertainers, athletes, astronauts, and CEOs. A 75% white America
even voted twice to choose an African American leader. If so much progress has
been made, why are the nation’s cities -- some led by African American mayors,
with a diverse police force often led by non-white police chiefs -- burning?
Could
this be the end result of choices made over time by some of our leaders to
bankrupt America and African-Americans economically, morally, educationally, and
spiritually?
The
Free Trade Agreements from ‘94 to ‘01, with NAFTA, and then with China,
bankrupted the nation economically. The ‘sucking sound’ of factories closing and millions of jobs
disappearing hit both sides of the border. Millions of Mexican family farmers
could not compete with American agribusiness, lost their farms .and began the trek
northward. Those men (in the words of the times) worked ‘twice as hard as black
men, for half the pay’. Systemic unemployment enabled by free trade and open
borders was made worse by floods of drugs brought by the Colombian and Mexican
Cartels, and synthetic drugs manufactured in Chinese factories. Addicted men engaged in
petty theft to support their habits or became part of the predatory gangs
profiting off the addicts. The explosion in crime, starting with the crack wars
of the late 80s, resulted in the imprisoning of many young African American
men. In 1990, one of every three African-American
men under 29 were in prison or on parole.
Already
stressed family bonds broke under this strain. Currently 77% percent of African
Americans are born into unmarried families. The family pictures of son, father,
and grandson is almost unknown in our poorest communities. The anger and pain
of sons abandoned by their fathers is a lifelong wound. The consequences of
numerous short-term disposable relationships is abusive stepparents and the loss of
positive male role models. When the patriarchy is smashed, there are no fathers
to guide boys to manhood, and the masculinity that remains is too often toxic.
If
the family is a broken reed, what of the schools? In our poorest schools,
the lowest achieving students, mostly young men with attention and behavior problems, leave elementary school
without learning to read or mastering arithmetic, only to fall behind further
each year. In our nation’s capital, one-third of the adults
cannot read. Our lowest-performing students learn from school that no matter
how disruptively and disrespectfully you behave, no matter how little you work
or how low your test scores, you will pass on to the next
grade. When 2/3rds of students are not at grade
level, maintaining standards is impossible
without drastic reform.
Our
schools and our culture do not support societal stability. They are creating a
nation of moral and spiritual midgets. With the Biblical Ten Commandments
ridiculed for a generation, looters of every background across the nation defy
the unknown command “Thou Shalt Not Steal.” Rather than heed Jesus’ example of
forgiveness, grievance is nurtured and encouraged. In expelling those old white
men, the Greek philosophers, from our humanities, we do not teach Aristotle’s
virtue of moderation in a democratic society. In schools today, the focus is
not on the virtues or genius of our founding generation. There is little talk of innovators, entrepreneurs, explorers, soldiers, scientists, pioneers, architects, or engineers. Instead, a cartoon
version of only protestors and oppressors becomes our national story. America is portrayed as a shameful, oppressive country, one that deserves
little loyalty or protection from
the mob. The social compact has been deliberately frayed.
For
a generation, the complaint has been of wealth inequality -- some people
are too rich. An entire race
has been labeled with #Whiteprivilege. We have become a nation singularly focused on
the color of our skin, while blindly ignoring the content of our individual
character. Suddenly America is not the place where an African immigrant genius
can lead our national return to space, but an oppressive land where the fabulously
rich Elon Musk is just another rich white man benefiting from his privilege.
The nuance and truths behind the theories of income inequality and white
privilege are lost on the rioting mobs. Instead it is the sin of envy
personified, and the theory of socialism in street talk: “I need the iPad in your store, so I’ll take it
and beat you senseless if you object --
you privileged, rich, oppressive white.” Or as Karl Marx so eloquently put it:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
Our
nation’s political class is deeply divided. Many Democrat politicians cannot
bring themselves to openly side with law and order against their allies and so
remain silent to the hijacking of legitimate protests. To a socialist ‘you
didn’t build that’ -- what the entrepreneur spent a lifetime building up -- is
actually the property of the voters, who have decided to redistribute the
wealth. Thus, hundreds of Minneapolis police stood by, at the mayor’s command,
while businesses were looted across
the street. They were defending the police precinct -- government property. And
even then, they were ordered to give that up to the mob. After all, the city
can just take your money in taxes to rebuild after it’s over. In Minneapolis, under
the leadership of Mayor Jacob Frey, the police are there to keep your
nonessential business shut down because of COVID-19, but not to protect your
life’s work from the anarchists. In Washington D.C., the mayor at first refused
to use city police to protect the White House and our nation’s monuments.
Arlington county withdrew its police from D.C., when
they saw their officers help the President cross the street during the
protests. To some, the real problem is the political opposition, not the
rioting. After all, if Trump succeeds in bringing back American manufacturing,
and if his actions raise American wages by lowering taxes and regulations while
decreasing illegal immigration, then Democratic
politicians might lose a few elections. Better to burn America down, than to
MAGA.
And
therein lies a clue to the problems of our deeply divided country. Our country
is deeply divided and hurting economically, educationally, morally, and
spiritually. But division is in the interests of some of our political leaders.
Why unify, when division makes your supporters more passionate? Why build, when
it is much easier to tear down? The key to our political paradox lies in the
virtues expounded by the world’s first democrats, the Greeks: wisdom, justice, moderation, and
courage.
May we have the wisdom to sit in moderate dialogue with our fellow citizens,
and the courage to seek liberty and justice for all.
Felon Charged with Murdering Retired Police Captain David Dorn in Riots
1:31
A convicted felon has been charged with murdering St. Louis, Missouri, 77-year-old retired police captain David Dorn during riots in the city last week.
The St. Louis Police Department announced Sunday that 24-year-old convicted felon Stephan Cannon has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, armed criminal action, and unlawfully possessing a firearm after he allegedly murdered Dorn.
On June 2, according to police, Dorn was guarding Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry in St. Louis while riots, fires, and looting broke out. Surveillance footage, police said, shows Dorn arriving at the pawn shop, which had already been looted by Cannon and other men.
That is when Cannon can allegedly be seen on the footage approaching the corner of the pawn shop with a gun, and it is at this time that Dorn was shot, killed, and left on the sidewalk bleeding.
While searching Cannon’s residence, St. Louis police officers recovered a TV that had been looted from the pawn shop that night. Cannon is currently being held without bail.
Dorn had served nearly 40 years with the St. Louis Police Department before retiring in 2007. Dorn also served as police chief in the small town of Moline Acres, Missouri.
