My guess is I will catch a lot of grief for the title of this post and being a 64 year old man who is now retired I really don't care. The race hustlers of America, these agitators of ethnic and racial differences, they need to be relegated to the dustbin of history. Our planet needs some peace and quiet. Our country, America, needs some peace and quiet. We need to start telling these hustlers to shut up!
The Ferguson mess this year is a prime example of this racial divide stirred up by the hustlers. A policeman (who happens to be white) stops a man (who happens to be black) after hearing of a strong armed robbery of a Asian market owner. The suspect attacks the policeman and ends up dead. The policeman says he feared for his life as the suspect bull-rushed him and so the story goes. Every day we hear that the suspect (who happens to be black) is really just a "gentle giant" and the policemen, (who happens to be white" was killing the suspect because he was black. We are told that we Americans (who happen to be white) are all racists and want to keep everyone of a different skin color in servitude. I am truly sick of it.
America is the greatest country on the planet. It is the greatest country in the history of the planet. Sure, when it began and for many years after, it wrestled with issues like slavery. But over time and with the expenditure of a half million "white" men during the civil war, the country changed and got on the right track regarding race. Over time the laws of our country changed and became even more sensitive to race and ethnicity issues. We passed thousands of laws to try and impose "equal" outcomes when it was already a country of "equal" opportunities. Many took the road to financial and cultural success while others did not. The ones that took the path of success stopped whining and blaming others and decided to pursue excellence in whatever fields they chose. We see people like Justice Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, Ben Carson a brain surgeon and US Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. People like Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal, both of Indian heritage become leaders. Susana Martinez and Brian Sandoval, Hispanics who are now governors! The list is huge!
There are millions of people of all shades of skin color who have come to America or were already here who have succeeded. Rather than spend their time blaming the white population for their troubles, they took the proverbial bull by the horns and became successful. The CEO of Dignity Health, Lloyd Dean, the company that owns our own Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital is a black man. Hell, the President of our country is half white and half black but describes himself as a black man. Can a person get any higher in our country? No! But we see that these people of "color" who complain and staff the race hustler industries will have no of the success. They tear down those of their race as "uncle toms" or claim those people are trying to be "white". So they cow many people into silence.
Of course we have a "press corps" and a educational system that perpetuate all this hate and angst. This week with the riots after the Grand Jury decision not to indict we saw hour after hour of "mis-information" and picking and choosing inflammable words by the wizards of smart in the press. FOX News and talk radio at least let us hear both sides. But we can see the bias of the liberals in charge of most of the national news and it is outrageous. They indict "white people" for whatever ill they can muster up. If anyone speaks up to correct the hate, they are then relentlessly beat down and called "racists"! Give me a break.
I and my whole family lineage have never owned another human being. We have never condoned the owning of a human being by another. We have always been fair and spoke out against these terrible things. Even today, we all must fight to free women and girls from the sex trade and slavery. But all that falls on deaf ears since apparently there seems to be a lot of people making money off of others misery. Keep the pot stirred, keep the hate focused on some "instigator", mostly white people or now the police. Keep it up, sell tickets to the next rally. Hell, a million Tea Party people show up in DC to protest and the lamestream press pretty much ignores them (conservative and mostly white). Put fifty people at the mall in St. Louis yesterday and the press can't get enough! There were actually more press members in Ferguson on the second night after the decision than there were protesters!
So let's try to spend our energy and money and make the future better rather than carrying baggage from the distant past. Call me a Pollyanna, call me whatever, but for me the road the race hustlers and blame gamers have taken is a cul-de-sac. We see the results and it is not pretty. My experience is that the blacks and others I have known simply want the same things as "white" people want. A safe and secure world for themselves and their kids. Unfortunately though they are kept in a state of agitation. I see now the same tactics by the "Hispanic" race hustlers. If we don't convince these people as well as the others that America is worth saving for us all, we are doomed.

He enjoyed communicating with each of you on Sierra Dragon's Breath. Todd was a Great, Loving, Kind man and will be Missed. Love you honey! Till wee meet again. 
Excellent post Todd! We need to keep acknowledging and honoring the accomplishments of disadvantaged people regardless of their skin color. We have some amazing people right here in our own little towns!
ReplyDeleteThe solutions and choices have been there for years. Has anyone considered that those who kill, pillage, and burn have no desire to achieve the kind of American dream that the rest of us have worked for? From looking at what they are teaching in public schools, and what they learn from the lamestream, they have an entirely different, a 'fundamentally transformed', America which they want to bring about.
ReplyDeleteWe have to somehow change who the folks listen to. That is why we need to regain the education tools at all levels to instill the truth of our country and capitalism. Also, those successful people of other shades need to become the role models instead of th drug dealers and gangsta rappers. A lot has to do with restoring the family and that is for all the races.
DeleteWrong spot but could not resist. Jeff Pelline, the master of finding typos in tbe union, first reported that Senum made it to 3K in her kickstarter fundraiser, but then very quietly corrected the mistake to 30K. What a dipshit.
ReplyDeleteI have seen many errors on the bigboys blog but I am not a worrier about the earth ending over misspelling. I do it all the time. LOL!
DeleteLooks like it's time for whites to riot too! A judge set a $1 million cash bail Saturday for a 44-year-old (black) man charged with stabbing four people including a conductor on an Amtrak train from Chicago to Port Huron, Mich.
ReplyDeleteSo a black man attacks and stabs four people on a train until he is stopped. So what color are the four innocent strangers he attacked and tried to kill?
Guess it's time for whites to riot and burn buildings as a response to this, but that won't happen. Where's the lib's and Al Sharpton the race baiter on this one?
No the whites will not riot. A different set of concerns I guess. I never have understood why the blacks burn down their own homes and businesses. Will someone inform me please?
DeleteSo how many white cops have shot a black person vs. the number of whites shot by a white cop? How many black cops have shot a black vs. white person? The data and the truth clearly show the race baiters are clueless and wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there more cops in black neighborhoods vs, white neighborhoods? The race baiters say it's to suppress and destroy blacks. Factual truth is it's because of the high levels of crime and high levels of black on black crime and black on black shootings and killings.
The facts, data and reality don't matter it seems.
The facts don't mean diddly to the black race baiters and the white self haters either. The fact is most blacks want the police in their neighborhoods because the crime rate is so high. Regarding the stats on who kills who more. It truly is ridiculous for us as a nation to get into that since almost all reasonable people want to be protected from the bad guys of any color.
DeleteFacts are meaningless:
ReplyDelete1. There is no doubt that Garner was resisting an arrest for illegally selling untaxed cigarettes. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik put it succinctly: "You cannot resist arrest. If Eric Garner did not resist arrest, the outcome of this case would have been very different," he told Newsmax. "He wouldn't be dead today. "Regardless of what the arrest was for, the officers don't have the ability to say, 'Well, this is a minor arrest, so we're just going to ignore you.'"
2. The video of the July 17 incident clearly shows Garner, an African-American, swatting away the arms of a white officer seeking to take him into custody, telling him: "Don't touch me!"
3. Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny.
4. At the time of his death, Garner was out on bail after being charged with illegally selling cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession and false impersonation.
5. The chokehold that Patrolman Daniel Pantaleo put on Garner was reported to have contributed to his death. But Garner, who was 6-foot-3 and weighed 350 pounds, suffered from a number of health problems, including heart disease, severe asthma, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea. Pantaleo's attorney and police union officials argued that Garner's poor health was the main cause of his death.
6. Garner did not die at the scene of the confrontation. He suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later.
7. Much has been made of the fact that the use of chokeholds by police is prohibited in New York City. But officers reportedly still use them. Between 2009 and mid-2014, the Civilian Complaint Review Board received 1,128 chokehold allegations. Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said: "It was clear that the officer's intention was to do nothing more than take Mr. Garner into custody as instructed, and that he used the takedown technique that he learned in the academy when Mr. Garner refused."
8. The grand jury began hearing the case on Sept. 29 and did not reach a decision until Wednesday, so there is much testimony that was presented that has not been made public.
9. The 23-member grand jury included nine non-white jurors.
10. In order to find Officer Pantaleo criminally negligent, the grand jury would have had to determine that he knew there was a "substantial risk" that Garner would have died due to the takedown.
11. Less than a month after Garner's death, Ramsey Orta, who shot the much-viewed videotape of the encounter, was indicted on weapons charges. Police alleged that Orta had slipped a .25-caliber handgun into a teenage accomplice's waistband outside a New York hotel.
THE KILLING OF POLICE OFFICERS
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember Detective Melvin Santiago? He was a Jersey City police officer who was shot to death just a month ago, on July 13th. Santiago was white. His killer, Lawrence Campbell, was black. Does anyone recall Obama appearing before national television and calling for justice for Officer Santiagos family? Does anyone recall Eric Holder rushing to Jersey City to see that justice was done?
How about Officer Jeffrey Westerfield? He was a Gary, Indiana police officer who was shot to death on July 6, 2014. Officer Westerfield was white, his killer, Carl LeEllis Blount, Jr. was black. Where was Obama? Where was Holder?
Officer Perry Renn was an Indianapolis, Indiana police officer who was shot to death July 5, 2014, the day before Officer Westerfield was killed. Officer Renn was white. His killer, Major Davis, was black. I don't recall any mention by Obama about the untimely death of Officer Renn. and, I doubt that Eric Holder rushed
to Indianapolis to make sure justice was served.
Vermillion Parish Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares was gunned down by two men June 23, 2014 in Louisiana. Deputy Bares was white. His two killers, Quintlan Richard and Baylon Taylor were black. Was Obama outraged? Did Eric Holder rush to Louisiana to make sure that the family of Deputy Bares found justice?
Detective Charles Dinwiddie of the Killen, Texas Police Department was murdered on May 11, 2014 by Marvin Lewis Guy, a black male. Officer Dinwiddie was white. Do you recall seeing anything about that on the news? Certainly, the white citizens of Killeen didn't take to the streets to loot and burn businesses. Do you recall any mention of Obama or Holder here?
Then, there is Officer Kevin Jordan of Griffin, Georgia Police Department. He was gunned down on May 31, 2014. Officer Jordan was black, his killer, Michael Bowman was white. This was a white man murdering a black police officer. Where was Jesse Jackson? Where was "The Reverend" al Sharpton? Was there looting and burning on the streets of Griffin, Georgia? No, in fact, we don't recall hearing about this one in the news as well. Why?
You can draw your own conclusions. Over the past 60 days, there have been five reported deaths of police officers by gunshot in the U.S. Of those, four were white officers who were murdered by black men. Blacks complain that white officers treat black men more aggressively on the street. You can draw your own conclusions on that one, as well.
A U.S. President whose actions and comments serve to divide this republic, needs to be chastened or removed from office.
