It’s 2016, and our nation is wounded yet again by racial division. Only this time it appears to be political in its origins. To be sure, this country has seen its share of racial tension. Great men like Martin Luther King and Medgar Evers enlightened a people and paid for their words with their lives. President John F. Kennedy followed his heart to the truth and set in motion cultural change which has taken other nations in human history far longer to even recognize, with some persecuting their minorities and women still today. But the current strife looks nothing like that time.
Racism exists in America and around the globe, and it likely always will. However the notion that what we’re seeing on the 24 news cycle looks anything like the civil rights struggles of the middle 20th Century is utterly ridiculous. The lawless display in Charlotte is yet another example of just that, lawlessness. This wanton violence and mayhem being exacted on the very communities many so-called “civil rights leaders” of our time claim to represent, is simply unacceptable on any level, and for any reason. The BLM crowd for instance has done a magnificent job of exploiting the Obama doctrine of division, by horribly misrepresenting the facts, and manipulating a complicit press to propagandize those misrepresentations. The problem for BLM and the Left, is that to anyone thinking clearly, these “protests” look just like what they are, a bunch of opportunistic and violent felons terrorizing innocent people and destroying businesses and property under the guise of their First Amendment right to “peaceably assemble”.
In the end, the legitimate debate necessary to heal a community rather than further tear it apart, will never be realized so long as violent foul-mouth gangsters are portrayed as an oppressed minority by pandering politicians and a lying news media. Moreover, an inexperienced and ideologically warped administration only exasperates the crippling leadership vacuum which has existed in Washington these past 8 years. It’s now time for real “Hope and Change” my friends, for your children’s America.
(Oh’ and here’s a fact).: 93% of black homicides were perpetrated by black people). Unless and until we come together as American’s to address this issue and its true societal causes, the rest is an Obama exercise in futility! God bless…
