This blog is to share some of my thoughts about how this country has changed over the years and in my opinion, not for the better.
If Blacks Are so Unhappy In America…
Did you ever wonder how it is that whites have only been living in what is now the United States for a little over 500 years and yet we have created more technology than any other country in the world, we put a man on the moon in 1969 and we’ve been the economic powerhouse of the world for well over a hundred years. Blacks, on the other hand, have been living in Africa for well over 8,000 years and although the African continent has more natural resources than most other areas of the world, blacks there still have little or no technology that wasn’t imported; they don’t know how to use the wheel, so they don’t even have wheelbarrows; they don’t know how to dig simple water wells, so their women and girls walk miles carrying earthen urns to gather water out of contaminated surface creeks and streams; they don’t know how to build any type of structure more than one story high; they have never been able to build a seaworthy ship or boat; they have no concept of disease hygiene and they have no idea of how to build pit toilets or trench latrines, and when they need to urinate or defecate, they just squat and go wherever they happen to be whether its a path, dirt road, village or marketplace; they are still largely living in approximately 3,000 tribes and speaking over 7,000 dialects; they have no indigenous written language; some tribes still practice slavery; some tribes still practice cannibalism; then there was the tribal warfare in Rwanda in 1994 where the majority Hutu tribe murdered over 900,000 men, women and children of the minority Tutsi tribe using spears, clubs and machetes; and since apartheid ended sub-Saharan Africa doesn’t have a single country that falls in the top 68 countries as ranked by per capita GDP including Ethiopia, which gave us the current President of WHO, ranks as 162 out of 184 countries ranked by the International Monetary Fund. The most recent wage surveys coming out of Kenya show unskilled wages in most areas are earning about 40 cents an hour or $3.20 for an eight-hour day. When South Africa celebrated the 20th anniversary of the end of apartheid in 2014, it was interesting to note that all the elected and bureaucratic leaders of South Africa at the celebration were wearing their tribal robes and headdresses, carrying around spears and machetes and they even sacrificed a water buffalo as part of the festivities. Even with all their claims of inequality, lack of opportunity and racial injustice in the US, does anyone seriously wonder why American blacks don’t want to move back to their “roots” in Africa?
Thoughts on What’s Happening in America
Let me start out by saying that all this outrage over who owned or didn’t own slaves represents a post ex facto argument because when people like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Monroe owned slaves, it was not only legal, it was culturally correct and there were hundreds of blacks who owned slaves, too. It should be noted that those blacks who owned slaves include Kamala Harris’ great grandparents who lived in Jamaica, which is something that you’ll never read or hear about in the liberal media. In fact, if you want to be outraged about slavery and do something about it, head back over to Africa where slavery is still alive and flourishing among the 3,000 or so tribes of sub-Saharan Africa. And while we’re on that subject, where were all these rioters back in 1994 when the Hutu tribe was murdering over 900,000 men, women and children of the minority Tutsi tribe in Rwanda using spears, clubs and machetes? Where was all the outrage, screaming, rioting, looting and arson while that was going on for months? In this country in 2018 (the latest year for which complete data is available), according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report there were 7,407 blacks murdered and 88.9% of them were murdered by other blacks. Last year in Chicago alone there were 415 blacks murdered, again almost all by other blacks. So far this year in Chicago there have already been another 258 blacks murdered and another 1,092 shot and wounded, again almost all by other blacks. Where are all the screams of outrage? Where are all the protests? Where is all the rioting, burning and looting? Why is it only when a black is killed by a white, and more specifically a white police officer, that this sort of thing happens? Why aren’t they just as upset when blacks are murdering blacks or is that not a problem? What’s happening in our country today isn’t about slavery or George Floyd. This is about the left-wing Democrats’ Brown Shirts trying to remake our country and society into their own vision of what it should look like.
I am not a racist, but I am a culturalist. I don’t like gang bangers and that includes white skinheads, Hell’s Angels or the Aryan Nation, Hispanic gangs like MS-13 and the Latin Kings, and black gangs like the Crips and Bloods. I don’t like religious fanatics like Islamic extremists or the Westboro Baptist Church and I didn’t like Jim Jones’ death cult in Jonestown, Guyana. I don’t like people who manufacture, transport, distribute, buy or sell illegal drugs of any kind. I don’t like “rap” or any other kind of music whose lyrics are so racist, sexist, violent and bigoted that they can’t even be published in comments or on public forums, and I don’t like the “rappers” or any other people who promote drugs, guns, violence, racism, sexism, bigotry and promiscuity as a lifestyle. I don’t like men who father illegitimate children and then walk away from their responsibilities. I don’t like the KKK, the NAACP, LULAC, the National Action Network, Black Lives Matter or any other organization that promotes the interests of one race over others. I don’t like “historically black” colleges, race-based scholarships, race-based holidays, race-based Chambers of Commerce or any other race-based institutions or programs that promote segregation. I don’t like people who use political protests as an excuse to riot, loot businesses and burn down communities. I don’t like Antifa or any other group that uses violence to try to stop people from expressing their thoughts and ideas under the 1st Amendment. I don’t like people of any color who wear their ball caps sideways or their pants sagging down below their asses so that you can see their underwear or buttocks. I don’t like people who wear Mohawks, spikes or dreadlocks, or who color their hair green, orange or any other wild color just to gain attention. I don’t like facial tattoos or eyebrow, lip, nose or tongue piercings. I don’t want to know what your sexual orientation is and I certainly don’t want to hear it being touted as “the new normal”, because same sex relationships and thinking that you need to cut off your genitals to match your “gender identity” will never be normal. Finally, I don’t much care for those people who insist on marching in other people’s parades just so that they can flaunt their own agenda, whatever that might be. If your culture involves any of the above, then I don’t want anything to do with you.
When people say there’s a systemic racial problem in America, they’re absolutely right. All you have to do is look at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the NAACP Image Awards, Black Entertainment Television (BET), the BET Awards, Ebony magazine and the National Association of African American-Owned Media; Black Chambers of Commerce, the National Association of Black Journalists, the National Black Police Association, the African American Mayors Association, the National Black Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, the National Black Caucus of State Legislators; the Miss Black America contest; Black History Month; Historically Black Colleges and Universities; black student organizations; black police officer associations; the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and other race based scholarships; Kwanzaa, MLK ‘s birthday and other race based holidays; Black Lives Matter, Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition and Operation PUSH, the Black Economic Alliance and all the other black organizations and programs that promote blacks over other races, and you can easily tell who the racists really are in our society.
Some people have said that Trump is not “in the same class” as Obama. Obama spent almost a trillion taxpayer dollars bailing out the very same Wall Street banks and financial houses that melted down our whole economy in 2008 while doing nothing for the people whose life savings and retirement funds simply disappeared to the tune of over $3 trillion, and then Obama presided over the longest and weakest financial recovery in our nation’s history. Obama was also the biggest racist to ever be elected President in this country, starting with when he and his wife Michelle attended church with Reverend Jeremiah Wright who regularly cursed our great country in his sermons, to never missing an opportunity give speeches at “historically black colleges and universities” where he and Michelle repeatedly assured young black men and women that the police were out to get them and that they had every reason to fear police officers, to pandering to radical black activists like Al Sharpton and the Black Lives Matter racists who marched in the streets chanting “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Right now!”, and that is the same Al Sharpton who is a professional race baiter, convicted liar, tax cheat and corporate extortionist who visited Obama more times than any other visitor while Obama was in the White House. Then, of course, there’s the fact that there were 794 Law Enforcement Officers who died in the line of duty in the first six years that Obama was in office with no special recognition from the White House. Then Michael Brown robs a convenience store in Ferguson, Missouri, assaults a white police officer, tries to take his weapon, is shot for his actions, and the White House sends three representatives to his memorial service. It should also be noted that the Michael Brown shooting was investigated by the Ferguson Police Department, St. Louis County, the State of Missouri and Obama’s Department of Justice that was run by his BFF wingman Eric Holder, and they all issued reports exonerating the police officer of any wrongdoing. Obama also regularly set up tents and held “rap” concerts on the White House lawn where black “rappers” performed with lyrics that were so racist, sexist, violent and bigoted that they can’t even be published in comments or on public forums, and these “rappers” are the same people who promote drugs, guns, violence, racism, sexism, bigotry and promiscuity as a lifestyle. Through their actions, Obama and his wife Michelle created the biggest racial schism in this country in modern history and helps explain how Barack Obama became known as the “Great Divider”. This was Obama’s White House and this is why we have a culture crisis in America. With that in mind, I will say again that people are certainly right when they say that Trump is not ‘in the same class’ as Obama.
COVID-19
If you had told me six months ago that this is where we’d be, I’d have thought that you must be smoking something right off the list of Schedule 1 Drugs. Then came the Coronavirus now commonly called COVID-19. It seems like nobody wants to offend China by calling it the Wuhan Virus or Chinese Virus even though many of these viral outbreaks have been named by their place of origin (Ebola Virus, West Nile Virus, etc). It should be noted though, that Wuhan is home to the only Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) Laboratory in all of China. Interestingly enough, one of the things that they study there are bats that are harvested from caves in the surrounding area and those bats are apparently infected with dozens of different Corona virus variants. Now the official story is that the BSL-4 Lab in Wuhan had nothing at all to do with the release of the COVID-19 virus and that instead, it originated in a local “wet market” where all kinds of exotic animals, birds, fish, snakes and insects can be purchased dead, alive or already butchered. That the “wet market” is located only blocks away from the BSL-4 Lab is merely a coincidence, we’re told. This, however, combined with the fact that the Chinese government tried to cover up the existence of the Coronavirus even as it spread throughout Wuhan, the most populous city in Central China with a population of over 11 million, makes you wonder about their veracity. Even when they finally admitted the existence of the virus, they grossly under-reported the number of cases of infection and death due to the virus, and even now they only admit to a death toll of 2,535 people in Wuhan and 4,634 in all of China. That seems pretty remarkable given the fact that New York City has a population of 8.4 million and yet they have already had 17,779 deaths attributed to the Coronavirus. When you factor in the fact that there are eight funeral homes in Wuhan and by the end of March of this year, just one of those funeral homes had already had 5,000 cremation urns delivered over a two day period, it beggars the imagination that Wuhan only had 2,535 people die of the virus. However, when facts such as these started showing up in the media, China promptly banned all American nationals working in China for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, which left us with only the “official” Chinese news sources. Given that they’re obviously lying about their infection and death rates due to the virus, why would any logical person believe that this COVID-19 virus simply “popped up” in a “wet market” rather than being released, intentionally or accidentally, from the only Biosafety Level 4 Laboratory in all of China? Meanwhile we have over 10 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide and over 2.5 million of them are here in the US. Even with the COVID-19 death rate running at almost 5%, it’s not nearly as bad as the Spanish Flu back in 1918-1919, but it’s still not over yet.
More Calls for Gun Control
Growing up in the late 50’s, my Dad was an avid hunter and fisherman, and he had subscriptions to several magazines such as Field & Stream, Sports Afield and Outdoor Life, and those magazines all had eight or ten pages at the back that offered stuff for sale. One of the things that were always for sale was any type of gun and/or ammunition, including WWII and Korean War military surplus “assault rifles”. These were available by mail order and required no identification whatsoever, much less any type of a background investigation. If you found something you wanted, you simply filled out a short form with what you wanted, the address where you wanted it shipped and included a US Postal money order, and six weeks or so later it would be delivered to your front door by the US Postal Service. I can remember one advertisement for military surplus M-1 Carbines being offered for $5.00 apiece and they would throw in a 200 round can of ammunition for free. Interestingly enough, back then nobody ever shot up a school, movie theater or shopping center, but of course, back then we institutionalized people who were mentally ill and who had been determined to be a danger to themselves or others. Then, in 1975 the US Supreme Court made a decision that you cannot incarcerate people indefinitely even though they are a danger to themselves or others. When they did this, it had the net effect of emptying all of the State mental hospitals and single handedly creating the homeless class, which we have been living with ever since, and in virtually every case of a mass shooting, the perpetrators have been determined to have a history of some form of mental illness. The problem is not the guns, it’s the people who should have been institutionalized in order to put them somewhere that they can’t hurt anyone else. Also keep in mind that in recent history, the two largest death tolls in single events weren’t the result of gun violence. The first was the arson fire at the unlicensed Happy Land Social Club in the Bronx in New York City in 1990 that killed 87 people and injured several more using gasoline as the accelerant. The second was the bombing of the Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995 that killed 168 people and injured over 100 more using binary explosives comprised of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and nitro-methane or diesel fuel. Nobody seems interested in controlling access to gasoline, ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitro-methane or diesel fuel, so why blame guns for what deranged people are doing?
