Okay, this is a perfect opportunity for me to write about what I have been meaning to write about for some time. I will use this video of African American protestors DEFENDING a criminal who shot and killed 4 police officers in the line of duty as my segue. There is something terribly WRONG with that picture. Now I have heard African American media commentators on cable news and on the radio argue that their community's do not receive a fair share of the wealth distribution in America. Okay, let us examine this issue objectively.
The ghetto's across America are comprised of every RACE including white. Families have chosen to live in these communities mainly because the rent or property values are what their income can support. There is absolutely no shame in that. They are decent hard working families, earning their keep, who have high aspirations for their children. Some aspire to leave and move on. While others remain to be close to family or because they are simply afraid to explore outside of their comfort zone.
The media commentators are blaming the white man, white politician and white police officers for the constant turmoil and sub-standard of living conditions within these low income communities.
Well, I have to strongly disagree with their assessment of the ROOT CAUSE of the problem. It's quite easy for these commentators and others to point the finger and lay blame at those whom they detest. Nevertheless, it NEVER occurred to them to look within.
The MAIN people who are responsible for, TERRORIZING, tormenting and oppressing the honest hard working citizens of these communities are the GANG BANGERS, DRUG LORDS and DEALERS, and we cannot forget the PIMPS! These THUGS are the REAL TERRORISTS across America!
When you drive through ANY of these low income communities across the United States every home and apartment complex have bars on their windows. The schools have bars on their windows and heavy security doors across campus. The few retail stores that are brave enough to do business there have bars on their windows. Why is that? Could it be to keep the low life scum OUT! There are frequent drive by shootings almost daily. Men, women and even children are KILLED by bullets shot directly through the walls of their own HOMES! Children cannot even walk to school without FEAR of being killed, raped or being recruited, more like FORCED to become a gang member or BE KILLED! A parent can even work hard to try to shelter their child from this toxic environment and yet there are countless of stories about their child almost ready to graduate with academic achievements who gets SHOT and KILLED on the streets by gang members. All of this is just AWFUL?!?!
The gang bangers DESTROY everything within these low income communities! They deface, meaning they graffiti these entire neighborhoods with their tags. They prevent businesses from entering the community that would create JOBS for the local residences. Why? Because these areas are considered HIGH RISK and these companies can already foresee HUGE LOSSES as a result of moving in due to the EXCESSIVE violence and crime. They intentionally scare away teachers. In fact, they scare away anything GOOD that would BENEFIT these communities!
Let me give you an example, let's say we buy up a few deserted crack houses and build a new lush park with basketball and tennis courts and a playground for the children. How LONG do you think it would take the gang bangers, drug dealers and pimps to ZERO in and prevent the citizens of this community from ENJOYING something NICE and WONDERFUL! How long? Not even a day! The whole damn park would have graffiti all over it. The gang bangers would immediately LAY CLAIM and make it there own! What was menat for the betterment of the community was TAKEN AWAY, ROBBED by these THUGS!
Let me give you another example, let's say we re-paint an entire inner-city school and buy new desks, chalk boards and computers. How long do you think it will take for these THUGS to destroy everything in this newly remodeled inner-city school? Seriously, take a moment to think about it. They will find a way in no matter how many bars are put up to keep them out. Why? So they can steal the new computers and graffiti (deface) the entire school to let everyone know they won and they are still in CONTROL!
The conditions within these communities will remain the same no matter how much money we POUR in UNTIL the citizens build up the COURAGE to say ENOUGH, NO MORE! The citizens have to TAKE their communities BACK from these THUGS even if that means working with the police and starting neighborhood watches! The citizens MUST ban together.
Therefore, it makes absolutely NO SENSE to DEFEND these criminals who are the ROOT CAUSE and are GUILTY of SELFISHLY DESTROYING families and neighborhoods. You WILL NEVER be able to HAVE the economic development and social justice YOU LONG for until YOU RECOGNIZE who the dark force really is. You know the one. The dark force is out to steal, kill and destroy. The dark force is NOT an outsider, it's deeply embedded within those communities and that is what MUST NOT be tolerated anymore!
The ONLY way you can STOP this VICIOUS CYCLE of endless misery is to STOP GLORIFYING THE THUGS! Just ask yourselves this very simple question do you want more violence or do you want beauty? Darkness cannot exist where there is LIGHT! I hope I have been able to shed some LIGHT on this situation that needs to be sorely addressed.
