RACISM
– SOME TRUTHS NEVER PUBLICIZED OR EVEN RECOGNIZED
Racism is a societal ill that
will never be resolved absent a miraculous event. We shouldn't
anticipated that. It's not likely to happen. Why?
First,
too many individuals depend on the “Racial
Industry” for
power, financial benefits, political clout and more. Include such
characters as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton as most notable, but there
are many more. Under the guise of “fighting” for equality, they
thrive on arousing anger and never miss an opportunity to incite the
masses to demonstrate. It's not arguable that they thrive on racism
for political power , and even livelihood. It will remain so. I suspect Dr. Martin
Luther King would be very disappointed to know how they have abused
his work and marred his legacy.
Second,
the expectation that Barrack Obama would be a “trans-racial”
president has been an empty expectation, as many of us anticipated.
But, it was so hyped that the expectation was appealing to many. He's
been anything but that. As president, Mr. Obama has had no hesitancy
to involve himself personally and immediately in incidents that he
deemed to be racist, even without confirmation. Witness his
intervention in Professor Henry Louis Gates' arrest in Cambridge and
the recent Trayvon Martin case in Florida.
President Obama has polarized
Americans like none other before him and racism is foremost in the
polarization.
Obama's
promotion of “ African-Americans
for Obama”
in his re-campaign epitomizes that. It's blatant. There's more, but
this is enough.
Third,
both the
broadcast and print media promote racism. The same cases cited above
for Mr. Obama and more are highly publicized by the media. But, they
promote only “white
on black”
crimes and abuse as racism. Although “black-on-black
crimes,
especially homicides, are reported as high as 80% of crimes against
blacks, especially in urban areas, these are seldom focused on by the
media....or any others.
Fourth,
“black-on-white” crimes
are not reported by the media and, in fact, would seem not to be
considered crimes at all by most. Most recently, in Norfolk, VA, two
white reporters were attacked in their vehicle at a stoplight by a
gang of blacks reported to be six or more. But, some 30 were said to
be surrounding the melee. The reporters were injured, treated at the
hospital and were away from work for a week. Their employer, The
Virginian Pilot did
not even report the attack! Upon questioning, the publisher called it
an “incident,” and said there was no evidence it was racially
motivated. Subsequently other reporters interviewed black youth in
the area and were told that “incidents” were frequent there and
the white reporters should have known not to drive through the area.
With
this post as background, I will post a piece by Dr. Robert Warren
giving more specifics to confirm media
racial bias. It
is real, it is a problem, and it will not be solved, especially since
the media is dedicated to Mr. Obama and he is using race for
political benefit.
