‘BLACK POWER’ – IS IT FOR REAL?
While the vast majority of ‘Black Folks’ are decent, law-abiding
Citizens wanting the same as the ‘White
Folks’ – a decent job, a decent place to live, and
PEACE for everyone at hand – and everyone else
in between – there is always a criminal element of between 5% - 10% who
reach for a box of matches instead of exercising some degree of COMMON
SENSE! Burning down the few stores
within the so-called ‘ghetto’ or ‘inner-city’ areas is about as dumb an idea as
the folks in Green Bank burning down the Dollar General and the local area gas
station – and then asking the question: ‘What the hell do we
do now for gas & groceries?’ Nevertheless,
it seems that at any given time a Negro gets killed either on purpose (via a
criminal act) or by mistake (via police negligence) – it seems that there is a
certain element within the Black Community that wants to ‘BURN BABY BURN’ – and who does
that hurt the most – the same Black Community wherein they live!
And to make matters worse, we see
folks like Crooked-Hillary Clinton LYING to the Colored Community that she is
their best choice for president – when in fact it was BILL CLINTON that
imposed the THREE-STRIKES-YOU-ARE-OUT policies that has imprisoned more Blacks
than at any time in history in any given country in many cases over
petty-crimes! It was the Clinton-Regime that
has been the hardest upon Blacks by allowing the corrupt-banks on Wall Street
to sell them homes AND THEN FORECLOSE ON THEM or give the homes to others! And it’s the Black Community that is
suffering the most from unemployment and other economic and social injustices
to the point of upwards to 60% of unemployed youth!
Meanwhile DONALD J. TRUMP is promising to REBUILD THE
INNER-CITIES and put millions of folks back to work – ALL ACROSS AMERICA – yet
the corporate-media would have us believe that the Negroes will only vote for
Crooked-Hillary! IF SO – then they will
reap what they sow since Hillary will keep them unemployed and in POVERTY on
the PLANTATION from which many of them have never left – the same as she has
done for the past four-decades!
Below is a recent article by FRED
REED (born 1945 in Crumpler, West Virginia) who is a writer and formerly
a technology columnist for The Washington Times. A
former Marine and Vietnam War veteran, Reed is a police writer and an
occasional war correspondent. He currently writes weekly columns for the
website < www.FredonEverything.com >. His work is often
satirical and opinionated as you can see below:
Black Power: A
Done Deal – by Fred Reed
“It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen
percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most
dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what
blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their
power seems without limit.
Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions, but on whether they have the right number of blacks.
Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple or illegal voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Jim, or did Conrad write The Jim of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven't read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks.
We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them - as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums. One might think that a single set of laws should and would apply to all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and responsibilities. It is, sadly, not so. The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive.
If a white shoots a black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and riots follow. But when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never black. They are "teens." Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired. In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press.
Much of their mastery has become so deeply ingrained as no longer to be noticed. There is the DC Hesitation. In the bars and restaurants of Washington, a man weary of an incompetent affirmative-action hire in his office will, before commenting to a friend, lean forward, lower his voice, and look furtively over both shoulders to see whether anyone might overhear: The DC Hesitation. People don't even know that they are doing this.
Defensive behavior by whites has become nearly universal. A sort of Masonic recognition-ritual occurs among white people recently introduced in social gatherings. Is the other person, for want of better terms, a liberal or a realist? Dare one speak? One of them will say something mildly skeptical about, say, Jesse Jackson. The other rolls his eyes in shared disgust. The secret handshake. Or, if the listener is politically correct, the bait is not taken. In either case, blacks dominate political conversation.
So extreme is the power to control speech and even thought, that politicians have to avoid mentioning watermelons, or that neighborhoods of high crime must delicately be called "sketchy" instead of "black," though all understand who lives there and what is meant. The avoidance of racial reference is not an even-handed if despotic attempt to oppose racism since, as we all know, blacks freely apply any derogatory wording they choose to whites. In short, they rule. Which is amazing.
The dominance extends to children. When in junior high one of my daughters brought home a science handout with common chemical terms badly misspelled in a way which suggested a particular speech pattern. "Is your teacher black?" I said without thinking. "Daaaaaaady!" she said in anguish, having made the connection but knowing that she shouldn't have. Blacks control what you can say to your own children in your own home. And of course if I had gone to the school and demanded that the teacher be fired, it would have been evidence of my depravity and probable KKK membership.
The word "unbelievable" has lost all force. Things that ought to be unbelievable, and once were, have become routine. Still, there it was: Don't expect a junior-high teacher to have the level of literacy I had in the fourth grade. Instead, make it dangerous to notice their stupidity. This is not new, and it hasn't changed.
In 1981, in a piece for Harper's, I wrote:
"The bald, statistically verifiable truth is that the teachers' colleges, probably on ideological grounds, have produced an incredible proportion of incompetent black teachers. Evidence of this appears periodically, as, for example, in the results of a competency test given to applicants for teaching positions in Pinellas County, Florida, cited in Time, June 16, 1980. To pass this grueling examination, an applicant had to be able to read at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level. Though they all held B.A.'s, 25 percent of the whites and 79 percent of the blacks failed. Similar statistics exist for other places."
Nothing has changed. Blacks now control the presidency and thus, most importantly, the Attorney Generalship. In this the staggering political power of blacks is most evident. Obama was elected because he was black: an equally unqualified and negligible white politician would have had no chance. He is now fiercely pushing the most profound transformation of America ever attempted, by opening the floodgates to immigration from the south. To effect this end he apparently will simply ignore Congress and the Constitution. The people will not be consulted. Laws will be ignored.
It is hard to imagine why he does it except from racism, from a desire to get even with whites by enrolling their country in the Third World. A short-sighted policy, yes; since Hispanics do not like blacks and will soon be more powerful but that will come a bit later.
Note that self-inflicted problems of blacks consume inordinate amounts of public and governmental attention, even though only blacks can solve them. I might say, "should solve them," since they never have and we all know they seem to have no desire to do so. Yet we hear about them endlessly.
Are blacks in Chicago killing each other in large numbers? The solution might be to stop doing it, might it not? While I do not wish these young dead, I can do nothing to stop them, and it is not a problem I can solve.
Are black children growing up illiterate? This gives me no pleasure, and I have various reasons both selfish and moral to wish it were not so. But perhaps the solution is for their parents, or parent, to see that they do their homework, or even to teach them. I cannot do this for them, and again it isn't my problem to resolve.
Why do I have to hear, endlessly, about the "achievement gap?" Whether of genetic or cultural origin, it seems as immutable as Avogadro's number, and I can do nothing about it. I raise my children. They need to raise theirs. They rule. It is astonishing.

For those of us who lived through
the 1960s, we can all vividly remember that the country drifted towards a ‘Civil War’ closer that at any time
since the War of Northern Aggression in 1860, or the ‘Coal Field Wars’ of the 1920s – mainly because a certain element
of Negroes living in the inner-cities would rather RIOT & BURN than take a
Common Sense approach towards the realities & circumstances of their
plight! And while for the most part,
White-Folks kept their Peace and did not enter into the fray, there were very
few White-Folks who were not well-armed JUST IN CASE THE ‘SCHEISS’ HIT THE FAN! Many felt, and rightly so, that America did not have a ‘crime problem’, NO, America actually had a ‘black problem’!
There has been a long tradition in
America of trying to REPATRIATE Blacks BACK TO AFRIKA, starting with Jefferson,
Madison & Monroe to the extent that Liberia was established to repatriate
Freed-Slaves and they named their capital, MONROVIA, in honor of James Monroe
who championed the policy. And under
Abraham Lincoln, the AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY was established to
specifically repatriate as many Blacks as willing to leave.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s
Marcus Garvey lead a massive movement to repatriate Blacks Back to Afrika, even
purchasing ships under the Flag of the BLACK STAR LINES shipping company – but
the Roosevelt-regime manufactured a case against Garvey and imprisoned him long
enough to destroy the Repatriation Movement at the time when over 6-MILLION
signed up to go back! It started again
in the 1960s via the efforts of Pennsylvania Congressman Robert Nix, and later
his son, but again was stalled mainly by the Democrat Party since they feared
the loss of ‘Black Votes’ in
forthcoming elections! Thus what the
British have called, “THE WHITEMAN’S BURDEN”, continues to this day
& hour as cities burn under the myth of ‘Black
Power’!
Yet any study of the REPATRIATION MOVEMENT shows that any
given Black in America
could QUADRUPLE their station in life IF they repatriated back to Afrika. For examples:
A Black Attorney at Law in America could become a Prime
Minister in an Afrikan country! A Black
factory worker could become a supervisor in Afrika…and so forth! Equally important
is that the Repatriation Movement would control the volume of those returning
by making sure each new returnee had a new home, employment, and all the
amenities necessary for a Fresh Start so that Afrika could be repopulated in a
systematic & orderly manner! Should
we all be so lucky!
Well now is yet another time in
our collective history that the patience of most folks has run-out or is
rapidly running-out to the point that at any given time, a SPARK could easily
lead to another ‘CIVIL WAR’ but this
time turn into a RACIAL CIVIL WAR – perhaps the worse
kind of civil war – if Bosnia, Serbia & Croatia are any kind of examples of
‘Ethnic Cleansing’!
That ‘Spark’
could very well become the latest ‘Black-Slogan’: “BURN
THE BURBS!” – meaning the Suburbs where the ‘White-Folks’ live! Isn't real 'gun-control' being able to HIT YOUR TARGET?
There are a vast number of unemployed persons in America due to Bill Clinton signing NAFTA during his regime, and even worse, there are tens-of-millions of Middle-Class folks rapidly losing faith since they have been cheated out of a LIVING WAGE, cheated out of THEIR HOMES via corrupt government policies protecting Wall Street and taxing the Middleclass into non-existence! And finally, the THREAT OF RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM HAS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ON EDGE, ARMED-TO-THE-TEETH, AND READY FOR WHATEVER COMES BEFORE THEM – INCLUDING ANY SORT OF UPRISING WITHIN THE INNER-CITIES & GHETTOES OF AMERICA!
ONLY TRUMP & PENCE HAVE PROMISED TO MAINTAIN ORDER AND
RESTORE ORDER SHOULD THE SOCIAL FABRIC TEAR APART! For those that know their
history, in the 1920s at the collapse of the Weimer Republic over 50 German
cities fell to communist- revolutionaries & criminals before the first ‘Brown-Shirts’
& ‘Black-Shirts’ appeared on the streets to restore Order! While it takes awhile historically for
White-Folks to get riled up enough to take to the streets – once they do –
history shows they have NO MERCY & OFFER NO QUARTER to any perceived enemies
– that’s why BLACK FLAGS were carried by the Confederate Cavalries during the
final days of the War Between the States – and the guerrilla-war lasting
upwards to fifteen-years following during the so-called ‘Reconstruction Period’ before
all Scalawags & Carpetbaggers & Yankee-Blue-Bellies were driven out of
the Southlands! It may not have been pretty – but it sure was effective! And at present, tensions, disgust, mistrust,
and apprehension are so high that should a ‘civil
war’ break out within America not only will everyone wearing a uniform or
working for the government, at whatever level, become a ‘target’ – but the numerous ‘racial, ethnic
& religious’ groups may also become targets of one another to
the point of: ‘Kill
them all! And Let God sort them out’!
NOW IS THE TIME FOR EVERYONE TO COME TO THEIR SENSES –
TAKE STOCK OF WHAT THEY HAVE AND WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO LOSE – AND MAINTAIN
THEIR COMPOSURE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE – AND TAKE ACTION ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY! MAY OUR CREATOR SHOW HIS
MERCY UPON US ALL!
VOTE TRUMP
& PENCE AND…
LET’S MAKE
AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN!
