Blacks kidnap and torture Trump supporter in Chicago

   As the news broke yesterday that four black young adults in Chicago had kidnapped and tortured for hours a mentally challenged young white man, broadcasting part the incident on Facebook, NBC and ABC News reused to cover the incident at all, while CBS sanitized its report of any reference to hatred of Trump and white people – which were the self-designated motives of the attackers.  The words “f--- Trump” and “f--- white people” were used extensively in the video on Facebook.  White people are now on notice that racist attacks on them are no big deal, as far as the broadcast networks are concerned.
 
     One of the reasons people voted for Obama in 2008 was that he help improve race relations. Well, eight years later, nothing improved. Instead, it looks like we are in a steady state of free fall, with whites and police ever increasingly the target of hate, including obvious hate crimes like the above. This incident symbolizes the Obama legacy in this area.  In truth, Obama has set race relations back over 50 years. It is now worse tgan in the 1960s.  It all started with his speech about Trayvon Martin, "He could have been my son" even before the investigation was finished. And the media jumped on with their "White-Hispanic" description of George Zimmerman. Then Obama continued his racist rhetoric and actions with Michael Brown, again before the investigation had been completed, while sending three high level government officials to his funeral and demanding the Dept. of (in)Justice investigate the Ferguson PD. The media was happy to ablige by furthering the "fake news" reports of "Hands up. Don't shoot" narrative.

     But let's not forget Hillary's bringing all the Thug Mothers out on the DNC stage the first night of their Convention where she couldn't even display the American flag. Or all the attacks on Trump supporters by Democrat and BLM Thugs at Trump's rallies. Or the blocking of highways and ambulances getting to hospitals. Or all the Police Officers who have been shot by these BLM Thugs.

But Obama claims race relations are improving? In what fantasy world is he living?

It will take years for the damage he's done to be repaired and trust to be reestablidhed.

     Meanwhile, the people of Chicago have what they have because they vote the way they vote. Nothing is going to change until that changes. The city has been under Democratic Party rule for decades. One might think Chicago voters would ask themselves how that’s working out for them, but one would apparently be mistaken. Chicago residents flee to the suburbs to escape, but continue voting Democratic, go figure.
Community “leaders” like Jesse Jackson Sr, Louis Farrakhan, Michael Pfleger, etc. could identify and primary weak aldermen and state representatives to put reformers in place if they were interested in effecting change instead of running their mouths. Highly unlikely that’s going to happen though, too much work and risk.

 

The sad truth is that parts of our society are just permanently broken and need to be isolated from the rest of society before they ruin them also. We need strong community outreach to identify and relocate the good people from the bad ones so they will have a chance to grow up and lead a productive and fulfilling life without being killed or abused.  I would rather spend money on creating "safe" communities that are highly restricted and guarded by high tech that can quickly identify anyone who shouldn't be there and remove them immediately.  This community would allow kids to grow up without all the danger and destruction of bad people who only want to drag everyone else down.

     The incredibly frustrating thing about this incident is how it plays into the theory of “white flight”. Any sane, reasonable white person that watches this video will want to move out of a neighborhood that has a large young, black population, and fast. I know I would. It has nothing to do with bigotry and everything to do with self-preservation and the urge to protect one’s family. You cannot fault someone for wanting to escape an area where they are likely to be tortured and left for dead because of their skin color. As incidents like this drive away white people fearing for their lives, you can bet your lunch that (mostly wealthy, white) academics and pundits will call out this “white flight” and cite it as evidence of on-going “white supremacy”.
I think this is obviously true, but not at all obvious to liberals, especially in the media, who cannot seem to understand this dynamic except in terms of racial prejudice. The city where I live is highly segregated in terms of neighborhoods. Crime is high in the black neighborhoods, but only there. There is also, obviously, a lot of poverty in those neighborhoods, and widespread, multigenerational family breakdown. How bad is the family breakdown? According to official statistics, East Baton Rouge Parish, which takes in nearly the entire city of Baton Rouge, is 54 percent black. About 70 percent of the births to unwed mothers in the city are to black mothers. Forty-six percent of unwed mothers are below the poverty level, with 32 percent at the poverty level or no more than twice the poverty level. The connection among unwed motherhood, poverty, and crime has been very well established in academic literature over the years.

 If you want to live in a safer neighborhood in Baton Rouge, you don’t want to live in a neighborhood that’s majority black. Almost all the violent crime in Baton Rouge is committed by young black men, against other black people. The top five most violent zip codes in the city, accounting for 40 percent of all the violent crime, are predominantly black.

Is historical racism implicated in all this? Oh, come on, do you really have to ask? Of course it is! But if you are a homeowner and a parent in Baton Rouge, whether you are black, white, Asian, or Hispanic, your first concern isn’t going to be historical analysis. It’s going to be, “Where can I live safely? Where are the safe schools for my kids?” The answer in this city is sadly clear.
