BLACK AMERICA IS THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCUTLURE IN THE WORLD!
How to empower the black community to succeed
No one has produced any functionally sound answers to the myriad problems in the African-American community. So let us start here, with the direct answer to the issue, so that we are clear from the start. There is one and only one answer to every ill that we face as a nation. Every single child, and most especially every African-American child, must be fully and completely educated. Whether as a mechanic or a scientist, a full education should be compulsory in the black community.
People with complete educations are not out committing street crime. People with complete educations do not need social service. People with complete educations are not being stopped and shot dead by law enforcement.
Complete education is the only answer, to every problem we have as a society today. Our people must be educated. Each of us must be self-sufficient. The inability for entire communities to grow and prosper, especially if they must then rely on others, is a root cause of racial hatred.
How long have we been asking questions about the cause of racism, along with the follow-up question: how can we make it go away?
Start by changing the narrative. It is not race, but economics that is the issue. People don’t hate us. They are simply tired of being financially responsible for people who commit crime and live in perpetual poverty. People are not racists as much as they are disappointed in the way things have turned out.
In this country, polite people do not discuss race. Within that vacuum, black people have engineered a complex system whereby whites can be manipulated, and forced to tread lightly, upon the collective psyche of the long-suffering, highly sensitive, reparations-seeking, generally persecuted black person.
In the process, black people are able to behave badly and have turned underachievement into a cultural norm. White people are not permitted to acknowledge this. They can’t bring it up...can’t get mad about it...and the closer they come to discussing the truth, the more they are accused of racial insensitivity and racial hatred.
Yet they have to live with us, protect us, feed us, and listen to us attack them for inadequately providing for non-white people. We get away with this because we can quite righteously claim that whites impeded our progress in the past.
But it is not the past any longer, and this egregious denial-and-blame game has got to stop. The past is not causing our problems today. Other cultures, races and nations have suffered and recovered. We have not.
Black people should have had this fixed by now. By reasonable line of logic, we apparently do not want, or plan, to fix this. It would have been done already if we did.
You’re saying to yourself that right now you are reading about stuff you’re not allowed to say! Or think! Well right here — that ends also. You can look around society today, and see the result of pent up inner thoughts. Racial hatred has gotten bad — and yet can still get worse.
I know folks don’t want to (or are not allowed to) talk about this. But I’m here to say that a Black Lives Matter movement and its ilk are not in a position to represent black people. Yet they are raising millions of dollars to do so.
Talk about your vacuum...this type of mass hysterical, overblown, adolescent leadership emerges in the wake, of the lack of meaningful, impactful leadership in the black community. There is not one among these pseudo-preacher lawyer rabble-rousers who is honest with us. There is way too much money at stake, from the perpetuation of dysfunction.
We need leaders in the African-American community who advocate for making the community do the work it needs to do to improve. Instead, this gaggle of mercenaries is always and only about finding some outward magical force, to come into the community, and repair us! Brings on the GERD!
Any one (of these groups, or individual people), who tells you we are being persecuted; anyone who tells you that we need conflict to evoke change; anyone who asks for more money to fix the same old problems...anyone who advocates for defunding of the police — is engaging in useless and unnecessary agitation, likely in an effort to raise more money, even though he has yet to stumble upon the solution — to poverty and hopelessness.
No organizations that you readily come by are dealing with the true problems we face in the black community. This is why the problems still exist and are getting worse. No one has the stones to face facts. Until every one of our children is fully educated, and society stops making excuses for African-American underachievement, nothing will change.
Until the black community does what is necessary to improve itself, nothing can or will come into our community that will fix us, and we will continue to blame others for our own lack of resolve.

WATCH – Man Allegedly Smokes Crack on Subway: ‘Only in Democrat NYC’
A man allegedly smoked crack while riding a New York City subway as others watched in disbelief or tried to avoid him.
The man, wearing blue pants and a blue T-shirt, shouted as he held what appeared to be a glass pipe up to his mouth, the New York Post reported Saturday regarding the clip taken on an uptown train in October.
A passenger next to him sat quietly but when the man moved near the doors, another rider to his left moved further away, according to the video posted on Instagram:
“That shouldn’t be happening on the train. It’s just crazy,” stated Mine Bah, a Bronx Community College student who posted the video on his profile called Malcolmx_2. He also told the outlet a friend recorded the scene.
Social media users commented on the Post’s story, one person writing, “Only in Democrat NYC.”
“Sadly, this is a every day occurrence thanks to the progressive woke politicians. The elected officials are more concerned with bike lanes then the quality of life in NYC,” another commented.
“But no crime issues in NY. Nothing to see here,” yet another replied.
Crime in New York City rose over the past year but New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has claimed data did not show bail reform as being the problem, Breitbart News reported November 5:
The New York City Police Department’s (NYPD) recent crime statistics show that year to date, rape was up 10.9 percent, robbery up 32.4 percent, burglary up 29.1 percent, and grand larceny up 38.5 percent.
…
During an interview Friday on CNN, Hochul asserted that “the data is not showing” that bail reform is causing the surge in crime, and “There are individual cases, but compared to pre-pandemic and when this was passed, I don’t think there’s a real disparity.”
In September, White House officials tried to downplay President Joe Biden’s (D) responsibilities when it came to the crime wave sweeping across the nation, deeming the issue “complicated.”
Braids, bias, and a Black first lady
On the first stop of a 13-night nationwide tour to promote her new book, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times,” “Michelle Obama, disguised as an angel of light,” chatted with host Ellen DeGeneres. Held at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC, Michelle O spouted bias, braids, and a Black first lady to a full house.
In a show of defiance that inspired audience applause, at the end of her diatribe, Obama motioned to her current hairstyle and exclaimed, “Braids, ya’ll!”
For Michelle Obama, “overcoming in uncertain times” requires a new hairdo and self-help book tour to instigate the sort of hatred that contributes to “uncertain times.” But then again, never-ending bitterness is quintessential Mrs. O.
Time and again, the former first lady misuses public fondness as an excuse to express hatred. Drawing audiences in by feigning maternal concern, every gathering devolves into Michelle-style venom on full display. This time the star author felt it was relevant to inspire images of flat irons and hair relaxers.
Think about it; six years post Obama presidency and a full house of diverse fans are subjected to stories about forgoing braids to accommodate a nation that she says needed to ‘adjust’ to a Black first lady.
Blinded by hatred, Michelle Obama must have forgotten her husband became President the year the nation was 66% Caucasian. Was Shelly afraid braids would remind the voters that elected Barack Obama that he was Black?
Weaves, Afros, or keratin straighteners, it's likely Americans already knew the President was biracial and didn’t need Michelle’s hairstyle to verify that fact.
And so, a woman who rarely wore braids before becoming first lady, chooses to expose her own racial animosity by suggesting to a book tour audience that a Black woman straightening her hair made Blackness more acceptable to White Americans.
Implying that it would have been much easier to dig in her organic victory garden with braided hair (and $540 sneakers), out of consideration for the hayseeds who assign racial connotations to hairstyle, Mrs. Obama thought, “nope, they ain’t ready for it.” So instead of braids, Southside Shelly hired a White stylist named, Meredith Koop, a full-time hairdresser, and a makeup artist.
What M.O. doesn’t realize is the authenticity she prides herself on, doesn’t exist. What does it say about a person that submits to public pressure to assuage criticism? Or is Michelle fabricating this story to fuel personal animosity toward a whole segment of American society she tends to loathe?
Coiffure and tresses aside, the most disturbing part of this story is that it revolves around the petty hostility Michelle still embraces. Sorry, but choosing a bob-over-braids is a pathetic reflection of Michelle’s narcissistic self-absorption and superficiality. Does she really believe a hairstyle was enough to divert attention from 8-years of total chaos?
Did Michelle Obama think sacrificing doing her hair “the way she wanted” would distract from reality? Would braided hair eclipse images of Ambassador Christopher Stevens’s bloodied, dead body lying on the street in Benghazi? Does Shelly really think cornrows overshadow the failed stimulus, the healthcare debacle, and the Iran nuclear deal? How about Fast & Furious, weaponizing the IRS, net neutrality, Bowe Bergdahl, NSA spying, Solyndra, suppressing the First Amendment, and much more?
Michelle didn’t stop at her personal pain. Instead, she sabotaged White women in the audience by reminding minorities who came to hear about a book, that whether they realize it or not, navigating the workplace with courser-texture, or curly hair translates into pressure from White beauty standards.
Obama said, "We deal with it, the whole thing about, ‘Do you show up with your natural hair’?" Or do Black women follow Mrs. Obama’s lifelong example and saturate their scalps with toxic chemical straightener to fit in?
Prompting Black women to feel subjugated, Michelle wove in an “overcoming” reference when she ironically addressed DeGeneres, who wears none of these things she mentioned, saying:
That’s the African American experience, but women in offices that are worried, ‘Should I wear skirts? Should I wear pantyhose?’ 'I hate pantyhose.’ But when you’re carrying all this other stuff, this mask, these differences, and you’re trying to do your job, it’s just an extra burden on overcoming
Continuing to assign racial connotations to everything, Michelle even cited Barack being “blasted” for wearing a tan suit. The former first lady used the 2014 incident to justify her comment about what braids signify to White America. Talk about out-of-proportion conjecture.
Obama shared that she feared that if she changed her hairstyle from the chemically straightened version she wore most of her adult life, into a replica of the braids she sported at Princeton, critics would say, “Remember when she wore braids? Those are terrorist braids! Those are revolutionary braids!”
Is this the kind of ‘light Michelle Obama carries?’
Either way, the former first lady couldn’t help but bring up the man who offers no apology for his unique hairstyle. On the first night of her book tour, the onetime FLOTUS let the most accurate insight she’s had in her adult life slip out when she said this about Trump’s win in 2016,
You don’t want to make this personal, but as I write in the book, it hurt…because you wonder was it a rebuke of the eight years, the sacrifice we made? Was it complacency? What was it?
Maybe what it was, was public disdain for the type of rhetoric that turns hairdos into soapboxes to further a racial divisiveness that has nothing to do with braids and everything to do with resentment.

University claims a student scalp for Black Lives Matter
I reported previously that Hardin-Simmons University (HSU) expelled or otherwise forced out a student for a Tik-Tok video that said about Black Lives Matter essentially what New York's new Mayor, Eric Adams, said about it earlier this year. "I thought Black lives mattered. Where are all those who stated Black lives matter? Then go do an analysis of who was killed or shot last night. I was up all night speaking to my commanders in the Bronx and Brooklyn. The victims were Black. Many of the shooters were Black.” BLM leader Hawk Newsome's reply was call Adams a racial slur and a "white man in blackface," the typical response of a race hustler who has no facts to support his argument.
HSU now faces a bleak future not only because of sharply declining enrollments, but also other unrelated issues for which its faculty issued a "no confidence" vote for President Eric Bruntmyer. The Sandefer family, which is to HSU what the Cornell family is to Cornell University, proclaimed that it literally wouldn't want to be caught dead on HSU's campus. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni has meanwhile expressed multiple concerns about HSU's governance. None of this, except possibly the declining enrollments, is related to the BLM controversy but the latter is ample reason for high school seniors to shun HSU in the absence of corrective actions including repudiation of BLM and a public apology to the student involved.
Did HSU Violate FERPA?
I am phrasing this as a genuine question because I am not qualified to give legal advice on anything, let alone what constitutes a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Page 45 of a FERPA training presentation from HSU's own web site says (emphasis is mine), "Institutions may disclose education records without written consent of students to the following: The public regarding the final results of an institutional disciplinary proceeding so long as the student has been determined to be the alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or non-forcible sex offense." Condemnation of BLM is not any crime, so this is not applicable.
Campus Reform reports, however, "The university made a public statement confirming that the student is no longer enrolled at the school" and added, "Citing privacy concerns, Bruntmyer stated that he could not disclose the disciplinary actions that were taken against [the student] but can confirm that she is 'no longer enrolled at Hardin Simmons University.'" Bruntmyer's video stipulates that he knows HSU must comply with Federal law (e.g. FERPA). He then said almost in the same breath that he can confirm that the student is no longer enrolled in HSU which comes across to me (my perception, you are free to agree or disagree) as a very explicit disclosure of what happened.
Did HSU Violate its Own Code of Conduct?
There are even questions as to whether disciplinary action against this student violated HSU's own Code of Conduct. The only loophole seems to consist of "some speech is nonetheless inconsistent with the Golden Rule found in Matthew 7:12, and students are encouraged to live by this higher standard rooted in our Christian faith and heritage." First, whether the speech is inconsistent with the Golden Rule is a matter of subjective opinion and second, the rule says "encouraged" and not "required."
"Off-Campus Freedom of Students" adds, "College and university students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens of the United States, students will enjoy the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and right of petition that other citizens enjoy; and, as members of the academic community, they are subject to the obligations that accrue to them by virtue of this membership. Faculty members and administrative officials should ensure that institutional powers are not employed which inhibit such intellectual and personal development of students as is often promoted by their exercise of the rights of citizenship both on and off campus." This section adds that unlawful behavior is not protected, but this is not an issue here.
If HSU can expel or otherwise force out a student for an accurate condemnation of Black Lives Matter, and publicly shame the student involved, it can do the same to any student who says something with which HSU administrators disagree. Intelligent people avoid dogs that are known for biting without provocation.
If high school seniors in Texas want a college with a Baptist religious environment, this map of Texas State University shows multiple Baptist churches very close to and even on the campus. There is a Baptist student center on campus. The Texas State Baptist Student Ministry (BSM) is right on campus. Texas State's tuition is less than $12,000 a year versus more than $30,000 for HSU. You also don't have to worry about being "canceled" by "woke" University administrators at Texas State because, according to the ACLU, "Restrictions on speech by public colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution." Add to this financial talk show host Dave Ramsey's opinion of expensive private colleges in general—and Ramsey is himself apparently a Baptist Christian—and you have very strong arguments for choosing community colleges and/or Texas State over HSU and indeed other private universities.
Were HSU's Actions Christian?
People throughout history have claimed to speak for God, Jesus, Allah, and so on to justify some very bad behavior such as the Inquisition, witch trials, the Thirty Years War and, more recently, terrorism in the Middle East and Central Asia. Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church says God is on Vladimir Putin's side. Rabbi Eric Yoffie of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations found somewhere in Judaism a "religious obligation" to vote for enemies of the Second Amendment. The behavior of the reverends Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright, and minister Louis Farrakhan, speak for themselves, as does that of the Westboro Baptist Church.
Prospective HSU applicants might therefore want to listen to Alpha & Omega Ministries' take on Hardin-Simmons and also Black Lives Matter, which is very different from Dr. Bruntmyer's. This video calls HSU an "allegedly Christian university," and the backlash on HSU's Facebook page is highly instructive as well. The fact that I cannot find even one comment that supports the university's actions does not mean there aren't any among the eight hundred or so there, but the reaction was overwhelmingly negative.
HSU Backed the Wrong Horse Big Time
Not only was what the student, and Mayor Adams, said about BLM accurate, BLM also meets the Anti-Defamation League's and International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of an anti-Semitic organization; one that denies the right of Israel to exist. BLM has, at its highest levels (e.g. Patrisse Cullors) promoted Rasmea Odeh, a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist who murdered two Jews with a bomb. BLM refers to convicted cop killer Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, as "Mama Assata." BLM has also condoned looting and rioting. We do not need to associate ourselves with something like BLM to denounce segregation, discrimination, civil rights violations, and similar conduct that has been neither legally nor socially acceptable in our country for more than fifty years.
"Cancel culture" is simply the latest incarnation of McCarthyism, under which people's lives and careers could be ruined with a mere accusation of affiliation with Communism. Today's "cancelers" call you a racist instead and demand that you be fired or expelled. This homegrown cancer must be called out and eradicated from our society wherever it appears.
Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. The author is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.

Darrell Brooks Receives Life in Prison for Killing 6 Victims in Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre
Darrell Brooks, 40, received six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole on Wednesday for driving an SUV through a crowd at the Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade last year, killing six victims and injuring 61 others.
The aspiring rap artist was convicted on October 26 on six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and 61 counts of reckless endangerment, bond jumping, and battery for a total of 76 charges.
When Waukesha County Judge Jennifer R. Dorow handed down each life sentence, reading the names of each victim, the courtroom applauded. He was also sentenced to 17.5 years in prison on each endangerment count.
Before being sentenced, Brooks was removed to another courtroom to participate via video because he had become disruptive during the hearing, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
Dorow condemned Brooks’ actions before reading the sentence.
“Frankly, Mr. Brooks, no one is safe from you,” she told him directly. “This community can only be safe if you are behind bars for the rest of your life. … You left a path of destruction, chaos, death, injury, and panic as you drove seven or so blocks through the Christmas parade.”
Brooks, who chose to represent himself in the trial, claimed that he had a history of mental health issues and experienced a difficult childhood while growing up. He then later apologized to the victims’ families.
Dorow dismissed Brooks’ claims that he was mentally ill, noting that four psychologists who had evaluated him earlier diagnosed him with an anti-social personality disorder but no mental illness.
“It is my opinion that mental health issues did not cause him to do what he did on Nov. 21, 2021, and frankly didn’t play a role,” Dorow said on Wednesday “It is very clear to me that he understands the difference between right and wrong and he simply chooses to ignore his conscience. He is fueled by anger and rage.”

On Tuesday, prosecutors asked the judge to give Brooks the maximum sentence for all the convictions he received last month.
“He deserves the absolute maximum sentence on all counts, consecutive,” Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper told Dorow via CNN.
Opper continued:
You saw the videos. This wasn’t him plowing into one large group of fifty people at one time and hitting them. It was linear. He hit one, kept going. Hit two, kept going. Hit three, kept going. All the way down the street. That’s consecutive sentences, your honor. That’s intentional, willful, volitional conduct that warrants consecutive sentences stacked one on top of the other just as he stacked victims up as he drove down the road in complete disregard for any other person whatsoever.
Before he used an SUV to drive through Christmas parade-goers in downtown Waukesha — located about 16 miles west of Milwaukee — on November 21, 2022, Brooks had gotten into a fight with his ex-girlfriend.
He never explained his motive for his homicidal actions during the trial.
Brooks’ trial was full of disruptions due to his frequent outbursts, which forced Dorow to remove him from the courtroom multiple times, where he would participate via video.
During a pre-trial hearing in August, Brooks was removed from the court after launching a verbal tirade toward Dorow, Breitbart News reported.
Then in October, before the prosecution team was about to read Brooks’ lengthy criminal history, he slammed his hands on the table in front of him and started to stare down Dorow in a menacing manner. The judge paused the trial due to his behavior.
I need to take a break. This man right now is having a stare-down with me. It’s very disrespectful. He pounded his fist. Frankly, it makes me scared,” Dorow told the court at the time.
The victims who were killed by Brooks in the massacre last year include Jackson Sparks, 8; Jane Kulich, 51; Tamara Durand, 52; Lee Owen, 71; Virginia Sorenson, 79; and Wilhelm Hospel, 81.
Wisconsin does not have the death penalty.
