In an apparent Freudian
slip of news reporting, the Fox News website juxtaposed the following two story
links, just as shown below, in its page for September 28 2014:
"Added
Tension. Two suspects sought after
Ferguson officer shot.
Related ______________________________________________
Obama
decries 'gulf of mistrust between minorities, police."
The lead-line about the shooting of a Ferguson, Missouri,
police officer referred to the shooting of an officer by a
suspect reportedly trying to burglarize a community center, who opened fire on the officer when he
tried to question the suspect. On the same
night, another case was reported in which an off-duty policeman was shot in his automobile while driving in Ferguson. The reports on these incidents predictably suppressed the race of the suspects, which (together with the totality of
circumstances) provides a near certain indicator that they were black. As SR and others have repeatedly
demonstrated, the mainstream American media systematically
suppresses the race of the suspects in crime reports when the suspects are
black – even when doing so will frustrate identification and apprehension of
the suspect.
Both police and media practically fell over themselves trying to explain that the shootings were unrelated to the earlier fatal police shooting of a Ferguson felony suspect and the lawless rioting and pillage that were triggered by that episode. How the police and media were privy to the motives of those who shot the officers remains a mystery.
Regardless, rather than stimulating any remorse or soul-searching
among the Ferguson street packs, the cop-shooting atrocities were followed
instead with reports of further threats to kill officers.
More recently, other racial agitators interrupted a performance by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra to bellow an off-key anthem
about Michael Brown, the pot-loving street hooligan who was fatally shot by a
police officer after Brown apparently attacked the officer when the latter
confronted him after Brown had been reported for robbing a convenience store. Some members of the audience and the orchestra
reportedly applauded this barbaric and
boorish intrusion, in what (if true) can only be described as a display of
invertebrate kowtowing reminiscent of the abject imperial eunuchs in China's Imperial City.
So not only do we have racially resentful mobs rioting
lawlessly in the streets of Ferguson, but their fellow travelers are escalating
matters to opening fire on police officers -- while other Ferguson protesters reinforce
the reign of ugly anarchy in that benighted region by brazenly disrupting
cultural and athletic events with impunity.
Meanwhile, other instances of black mob violence in the
streets are too numerous to catalogue, but one admirable web site is at least
trying to keep track of these repetitive racial atrocities. See "Black
Mob Violence: So Many Stories, not
enough Room," American Thinker
(Oct. 2, 2014), http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/10/black_mob_violence_so_many_stories_not_enough_room.html.
The "Related" story in the above-quoted Fox
headline – and the two stories are much more closely "related" than
the headline writer might imagine -- reported yet another incendiary,
racially-motivated speech by President Obama.
Before a crowd of fellow blacks at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner
– i.e., those who Obama's Afro-racist Attorney General, Eric Holder, would refer to as "my people" – Obama
shamelessly placed all the blame for the "gulf of mistrust" to which
he referred on the embattled and harried police. See
http://www.Newsmax.com/US/Racism-speech-Congressional-Black-Caucus-dinner/2014/09/29/id/597415/#ixzz3EiODRfxn. He then proceeded to effectively exonerate
the black street rioters, especially those who are "young", for their
violent, offensive, and criminal conduct in the streets of urban America.
Obama, together with his radical henchman Holder, has
descended to shameless falsification and demagoguery in his racially incendiary
political manipulation.
In his Black Caucus speech, Obama repeated and emphasized
the malicious canard that there is endemic anti-black discrimination in the
enforcement of the criminal laws in America.
As he intoned in his deliberately inflammatory speech:
"Too many young men of color feel
targeted by law enforcement,
guilty of walking while black or driving while black – judged by
stereotypes
that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness."
He further fanned the flames with the following additional nonsense:
"There are significant racial
disparities. That's just the statistics.
One recent poll showed that the majority of Americans think the
criminal
justice system doesn't treat people
of all races equally. Think about that.
That's not just blacks, not just
Latinos or Asians or Native
Americans
saying things may not be fair. That's most Americans.
"And the worst part of it is it scars
the hearts of our children, that
it leads some youngsters
to unnecessarily fear people who do not look like
them and others to constantly feel under suspicion no
matter what they do."
In brief, Obama uses a fraudulent assertion that American police discriminate against minorities to generate the equally false
impression that the black marauders who terrorize American cities are a
bunch of oppressed innocents with "scarred hearts" who
"constantly feel under suspicion no matter what they do."
No, Mr. Obama. You
have it exactly wrong. A well-known
category of delinquent street thugs are justifiably "under
suspicion" because they commit lots of violent crimes -- like gathering in
feral packs to attack solitary pedestrians or bystanders, usually white. The "suspicion" to which Obama
alludes is not some irrational and arbitrary paranoia borne out of racial bias,
but the exercise of simple logic in observing the realities of the street.
What Obama falsely and irresponsibly ascribes to
mean-spirited racism and unfounded stereotypes is rooted instead in reality-based
self-preservation.
Splashing Rocks
and others have repeatedly demonstrated the insidious fallacy of the "bloody
shirt" of discriminatory law enforcement that is routinely employed by Obama,
Holder, and their minions on the left. It
is true that blacks are convicted and sentenced for violent criminal offenses
in raw numbers that exceed their percentage of the general population. But it is also true – and this is the
decisive point -- that the percentage of violent crimes committed by blacks is far, far higher than the black percentage of
the population. As but one notable
example that has been consistently documented by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics (a part of Holder's Justice
Department), blacks commit roughly 50% of U.S. homicides, year-in and year-out,
even though blacks constitute but 13% of the U.S. population. Specifically, data compiled by BJS shows that
for the period 1980-2008, 52.5% of homicides were committed by blacks. See
BJS, Homicide Trends in the United
States, 1980-2008, Table 7 (Nov.
20111).
In short, it is hard proven fact that a vastly
disproportionate share of violent crimes in America are committed by black
perpetrators. It is hardly surprising,
therefore, that blacks – mainly young black males – represent such a high
percentage of those in prison. That is
not a stereotype. That is hard reality.
Moreover, my recent blog on this
same topic conclusively demonstrated, on the basis of extensive BJS data, that
white murderers are about twice as likely to be sentenced to death and executed
than black murderers. http://splashingrocks.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-capital-canard-of-death-penalty.html. So when Obama asserts that blacks are
victimized by discriminatory law enforcement in this respect, he is lying. In fact, he speaks the very opposite of the
truth.
And such inflammatory lies by the
President of the United States, and by his Attorney General, have serious and
dangerous consequences. In effect, Obama
and Holder continue to give a kind of anticipatory dispensation and license to
young black males to persist in their lawless behavior. When the President and the Attorney General proclaim
that you are unjustly oppressed and persecuted, and that it is the police who
are the bad guys, there is little incentive to "stand down" in the
streets.
It is not surprising,
therefore, that police in many cities are increasingly reluctant to apply a
firm hand in confronting violent street crime, especially the
fast-moving and fast-dispersing urban packs that have recently waged barbaric
attacks in Memphis, Rochester, Orlando, Madison, and elsewhere. It is increasingly apparent that reliance on
police and government to provide effective protection in these situations is problematic, since both the police and the government are intimidated by the media
and politicians of the left, who are poised to denounce them for racist
practices whenever the crimes they seek
to punish or prevent are committed by favored racial minorities.
Consequently, and short of attaining highly effective martial arts
proficiency, the most effective citizens' defense against such mob criminal
attacks is effective and disciplined use of an efficient handgun with the legal backing of a
concealed carry permit. A permit, one
might add, that Obama and Holder would deny you if they could. Don't let them.
In short, when Obama and Holder stoke their
constituencies by condemning the allegedly disproportionate prosecution of blacks by American law
enforcement, they are engaged in spreading dangerous falsehood. The hackneyed slogans of "walking while
black" and "driving while black" are insidious canards with no
basis in fact. On the contrary, the
constant reiteration of these fallacies by the President, the Attorney General,
and their sycophants in the media have a chilling effect on law enforcement,
which causes police to be overly reluctant, rather than overly predisposed, to
enforce the criminal laws against blacks and other favored minorities. The extraordinary passivity of the police in
the face of the appalling orgy of criminal behavior by the Ferguson rioters is
but one recent case in point.
Why would the President and the Attorney General resort
to such racially incendiary use of their prestige and authority? Because they believe that an angry and
resentful black populace will be more highly motivated to rally behind Obama
and the Democratic Party candidates that support him and his twisted agenda. And because they knew their allies and
sycophants in the dominant media will parrot their false claims without
question or reservation.
So the Fox News headline writer got it right,
intentionally or not, in printing that the "added tension" in
Ferguson is "related" to Obama's racially loaded speech to his fellow
Afrocentric politicians and ideologues.
Anti-police and more general anti-white violence in Ferguson, Mo., Memphis,
Tennessee, Rochester, NY, and elsewhere are indeed related to racial agitation
and condonation of criminality by Obama, Holder, and their leftist minions in
government and media.
This is precisely the kind of hard-edged and genuine issue
that should be highlighted by Republican candidates in the crucial battle for
control of Congress in the forthcoming elections – and precisely the kind of
issue that most of these feckless candidates are too timid and clueless to
pursue. But if there are some candidates
who have the guts and perception to pursue an issue that directly impacts the
safety and security of their constituents, they are apt to be richly rewarded by the voters.
