Headlines of the last week include: the editor of Ebony magazine believes that killing white people is not a hate crime; black Baton Rouge police killer was a member of “Nation of Islam; Milwaukee cop ambushed while sitting in police car by black assailant; ‘Black Lives Matter’ organizer Ashleigh Shackelford shouts that white people aren’t welcome at BLM rallies, and should just hand over “reparations” to black people; and all this just happen over the weekend (July 15 – 17, 2016). And, Obama gives another lecture.
"So, with white homicides at a 25 year low, and black homicides at a all time high, mostly confined to the urban ghettos where young black men kill other young black men, (Obama says) we need new gun laws to restrict what white people can own?" (Zero Hedge, July 17, 2016 4:31 PM)
Someone needs to open a window and get the stink out of here!
I am a white male, born and raised in the United States of America. I have interacted with black people my entire life, and, not always as a majority. It was the summer of 1969. I was the only white player on a fast-pitch softball team, the Metropolitan Mets, in Harlem (132nd and Lenox Ave). The manager was a black man and I respected him. We drank in bars after the games when I was the only white face. I didn’t have a problem with my teammates and they didn’t have a problem with me. Since Obama became President, I don’t know if this experience is still possible.
The point is this, I am not a racist, and I never have been. Moreover, I have nothing, nothing, to apologize (for).
As a young boy and into adulthood, I had to work for everything that came to me. So did most of the people I knew. Growing up in Milwaukee, my friends and I were the ones discriminated against. There were places we did not go because we were Jewish. My family could not live in certain parts of Milwaukee and its suburbs because we were Jewish. We had fights, mostly with Catholics, because we were Jewish.
The point I want you to remember is this: we didn't care! We looked to ourselves to make things right. We had our own organizations, clubs, hospitals, businesses, neighborhoods, etc. We (the vast majority) worked hard in school. We went to college or into business and we became something. There was no welfare, no affirmative action, no reparations, and no special anything. We had to compete, and where others did not want us -- we made our own way. America gave us the opportunity and we took it. And, we were happy!
There is no question that some white people are racist. But, and this is important, it has been my experience in recent years that more black people hate whites than the other way around. Look around you, blacks are everywhere: in government, in military (not new), in academia, in entertainment, in media, and yes in sports. Should I "demand" that there are more white professional athletes in professional sports? That there be a quota -- ridiculous of course. But, that is exactly what is going on in our feckless politically correct society.
On Friday, July 15, 2016, throughout America, blacks have called for "a day of rage." They’re anger? Is that a fact? They have no idea the anger that is building up in this country. It can't and wouldn't continue like this for much longer. Continuation of this absurd, imbecilic, institutionalized recrimination and discrimination against whites and the police will boil over.
I say again, 'Open up the window an’ let this foul air out.'
I say again, 'Open up the window an’ let this foul air out.'
The rule of law only can work when there is respect for our institutions and equal treatment under it. These last 8 years, under Obama, has seen the destruction of that construct.
I regret I must be the bearer of these ill tidings. But I am a father, and I have a responsibility to impart my beliefs to my daughter. Today, more than ever, you must take care of yourself and your children.
