to stop crying over it is to deny it nice try but no cigar it's real and in our faces daily.
So many opinions about race in America.
And then the president weighed in, and the far-right, predictably, set itself ablaze.Conservative commentators have derided President Obama for his personal remarks about the Trayvon Martin tragedy. A common refrain undergirds this conservative criticism.It goes something like this: black people should stop crying over white racism and start fixing their disordered black communities.This criticism — that black leaders are blind to the perceived disarray of black communities — traffics in mythmaking.For example, writing in the Wall Street Journal, the black conservative Shelby Steele tells us, “One wants to scream at all those outraged at the Zimmerman verdict: Where is your outrage over the collapse of the black family?Today's civil-rights leaders swat at mosquitoes like Zimmerman when they have gorillas on their back.Seventy-three percent of all black children are born without fathers married to their mothers. And you want to bring the nation to a standstill over George Zimmerman?”And, the next day in The American Spectator, the conservative writer and sometimes-actor Ben Stein asks: “Why no rallies led by ‘black leaders’ against the Crips and the Bloods? The number of black kids whose lives have been ruined by irresponsible parents is immense.Why no rallies against crack-smoking moms and dads?” After detailing the many reasons he believes the “black community in this nation is in crisis,” Stein concludes: “I am terribly worried about the problems of black America.” (Somebody give this man a tissue.)
the game is called bait and switch, they bait you with the why aren't you complaining about your own mess, code for and leave our mess alone. the switch is when they replace the subject of their racist ideals with the problems as they perceive them in the black community then the old over talk, lie, and switch back and lie again, watch any talk show from 2008 till now it is how they get their BS out they are louder and more aggressive and their lies and railing are more so remembered then our control trying to have intelligent discourse, sometimes you need to fight fire with fire, we bring intellect and fact they bring a howitzer.
What animates these comments is the idea that the black community (which, really, is a quite heterogeneous entity) is “disordered” and “problematic.” The idea is nothing new. Whether we place the blame on white racism or black dysfunction, most agree that low-income black neighborhoods face many challenges. The black ghetto, mind you, is America’s favorite punching bag — it’s where we go to play the blame game, where we proselytize to disorderly youth, where we project our own middle class insecurities.
i guess they figure we created it if we want to punch and kick it it's our right we are entitled. they have systematically kept us dumbed down blocked any method of multiple success, they thought they had it sewed up, then Barrack Hussein Obama, i think they are more insensed by his name then his color.
While the idea of a disordered black community is hardly original, what is of fairly recent invention is the accusation that black leaders are overly concerned with structural racism and not so much with the problems endemic to their communities. Both ideas are, in the end, myths.Let’s take the second myth first: The idea that black people and black leaders focus on racism instead of the perceived state of their low-income neighborhoods. One favorite target of this myth, at least recently, has been the president. Conservatives, like Steele and Stein, have stumbled over themselves in a rush to condemn the president for his recent remarks regarding the role that race may have played in our criminal justice system. In their excitement, they seem to have fallen, hit their heads, and suffered a bout of amnesia, for every other time the president has spoken about race he has placed a healthy helping of obligation on the shoulders of black America.
selective memory, they roll out their interpretation of why and the nuance of the Pres.'s remarks while thinking we won't remember all the times he did, once again they do it and try to hang it on us, despite their efforts to deny us education millions of us slipped through their cracks and they never saw it coming.
from the outset they denied any awareness their arrogance in their own intelligence was greatly overrated and though it look centuries they failed and now they are facing deja vu all over again.
