I want to tell you of my
experiences and observations in post-racial America. I am a white male in my 40’s
that has lived and worked with black people all of my adult life. I have lived
in majority minorities cities by choice. I have lived in The Bronx, Yonkers,
Norfolk, and Portsmouth, VA.I made cross country trips to visit a close friend
in Watts! I have worked in some of the most dangerous and depressing places
this country has seen; by choice. My reward: I have been called everything but
a child of God, even the dreaded N-WORD!
I have been called racist more times than I can remember. My livelihood was
threatened by a black man who falsely accused me of racism.
With my life experiences I have
made some interesting observations. In 1992 after the 4 Los Angeles Police
Officers were acquitted of assault of Rodney King, black people rioted and
burned down their own neighborhood. While the city was still smoldering, people
were wondering how welfare checks were going to be delivered. In 2005,
Hurricane Katrina slammed New Orleans. The city descended into chaos. Residents
huddled into the New Orleans Superdome were subject to rape, murder, and gunshots.
White people had to huddle together and stand watch to protect the women from
rape. Meanwhile the Superdome became an open sewer. At the convention Center,
thousands of able bodied people were standing around waiting for someone from
the government to help. Meanwhile other able bodied adults took to looting and
shooting at first responders. No electricity, no clean water, flooded streets
and people felt the need to take beer and televisions! Today, George Zimmerman
was found not guilty and black people took to rioting in Oakland, Los Angeles,
Milwaukee, and other cities.
There are other things I have
noticed. Certain neighborhoods that are known as dangerous are majority black.
They include: Bedford-Stuyvesant, East New York, South Chicago, South Memphis,
Anacostia, Park Place (Norfolk). The neighborhood my grandmother grew up in was
once the jewel of the city. Now it is a ghetto. Even entire cities are considered dangerous: they
include: Detroit, Atlanta, East St. Louis, Camden, Baltimore, and Newark. Those
cities are majority black. Also black people make 13% of the US population but
50% of the prison population. Blacks are more likely to commit crimes against
whites and other blacks than whites. It’s in black neighborhoods that restaurants
and liquor stores have a barrier between customer and employee. It’s
overwhelming black people that try to shake me down for money. Its young blacks
that go to the mall and start fights for overpriced sneakers. Then when they
spend money at the mall and have shopping bag after shopping bag, they beat the
fare for the bus or subway! When I listen to police radio traffic online, the
majority of people the police are looking for, chasing or in custody is black. The
number one excuse for these failing neighborhoods and cities: racism. The
solution: more social spending. I guess the first $19 trillion wasn’t enough.
Some cities are experiencing gentrification. Developers are fixing up dilapidated
buildings in poor black neighborhoods attracting young, white professionals changing
the demographics of the area. The result: blacks are upset that whites are
moving in!
What really, really makes me mad
is not the events I have described above, but the guilty white liberals who do
things such as post on this website, preach diversity, tolerance, white privilege,
while living away as far away from black people as possible! It’s the guilty
white liberals that scream, “We are all Trayvon,” drive their hybrids with
Coexist bumper stickers, vote for Obama twice, while living in white
neighborhoods. When is the last time, you have seen a Coexist sticker in the ‘hood?
When you call these hypocrites out on it they say they want to send their
children to “good schools.” That’s code for overwhelmingly white schools. Don’t
black parents want to send their kids to good schools too? Tim Wise is an
anti-racism expert who degenerates white people. He lives in a 97% white neighborhood!
If we want to have a real conversation about race, we must start with the
guilty white people first!
I bet they removed your post...
