I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF “BLACK LIVES MATTER” (BLM).
Not because they don’t matter. They do. But so do ALL lives.
I am not a supporter of BLM because I see too many — far, far too many — BLM supporters who are using the movement as a front for anarchism, an excuse to abuse, destroy, and cause death.
I DO NOT AGREE THAT a black person cannot achieve greatness — many have.
I do not agree that our governments continue to discriminate against blacks, or Jews, or Orientals, or Latinos. Statistics, and opening the eyes, confirms that there are many blacks, Jews, etc. working in federal, state, and municipal jobs.
I do not accept that women, regardless of “color,” cannot advance in our society.
I DO believe that with diligence, hard work, and occasional encouragement, any citizen can not only aim high but arrive at a higher position in life.
I admit there are exceptions to all of the above, but in general
Discrimination
Yes, there has been discrimination. It came with the earliest European immigrants.
The Europeans, more than anyone else, came with a superior attitude, even when there was no justification for it. They did it in America. They did it on the Indian sub-continent. They did it in Africa. They did it in the Middle East.
English, Dutch, Germans, even the French and Italians left home so they could feel good about themselves, if only at the expense of others who were “different.”
Granted, most blacks in the U.S. today are descendants of slaves.
Slaves that were captured by other blacks.
Slaves that were sold to (mostly) European slavers by Muslims.
That’s history. It can be argued. But the facts will remain.
Jews faced discrimination in the U.S.
The Irish faced discrimination.
The Italians faced discrimination.
All of the above overcame, primarily through their own group efforts, discrimination.
They valued education and hard work.
They did NOT survive on welfare — government handouts were non-existent.
They went to night school, often after working a 10-hour shift, to learn English.
If the Jews, the Irish, the Italians, etc., managed to overcome discrimination, why not blacks? They have had more than enough time to overcome any discrimination.
About the only people who (still) are discriminated against in America are the natives; Indians.
White anarchists
Look at the people rioting, destroying property and injuring people.
Many are black, but count the number of white faces (most sans masks), running to destroy, to injure.
Most of the rioters are between 18 and 25 years of age.
Most are products of “progressive” parents, and many learned to hate at university.
Anarchists are not restricted to Democrat-controlled cities, but in those cities — often “sanctuary cities” — protecting citizens and their property seems to be secondary to “making a statement.”
My way or the highway
If you are not like me, even if you support my cause, you are less than me.
This is not the era of the “hippie” with flowers and love beads.
This is not an era when a person’s uniqueness is celebrated.
This is the era of mob violence; mob control.
This is the era when governments abrogate their primary responsibility: to protect the citizens.
This is the era when politicians not only sway with the prevailing winds, but bow down to those who make the most noise; common sense and reason be damned.
This is the era when privileged white “progressives” align themselves with anarchists to destroy communities. The “progressives” don’t necessarily destroy, but they protect the anarchists while they do their work.
This is the era when Black Lives Matter — ONLY black lives matter. Never mind others lives. Never mind that some blacks may not agree — they are just Oreos anyway.
This is the era when all minorities save one are the darlings of “privileged progressives.”
This is the era when JINOs condemn Israel and rally in support of the PLO/PFLP, Hamas/Islamic Jihad that are trying hard to destroy Israel — with a little help from the UN and leftist politicians.
This is the era when college and universities compete to see what institution can teach that democracy is the bane of the world; that Marxism is the panacea for all the world’s ills.
This is the era when history is rewritten; Santayana’s comment about history forgotten will someday come to haunt these revisionists.
This is the era when civility disappeared; few hear and fewer listen. Eyes that do not see; ears that do not hear.
This is the era of entitlement and privilege.
This is the era of my embarrassment.
PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
