Baltimore’s Mayor Rawlings-Blake has been criticized for failing to act to swiftly quell the r**ting in her city. But her reticence was not due to a lack of competence or experience. Rather, it is symptomatic of a dilemma faced by black leaders throughout the U.S. when they rise to power. Black leaders get elected by assuring their e*****rate that they will stand by them and join in their battle against white oppression. Her first instinct was to sympathize with the r****rs that their anger was caused by the pent-up frustration of living in poverty created by an oppressive white society.

As the r**ting was taking place the mayor is alleged to have ordered the police to stand down. One person stated that she said “let them l**t it’s only property.” Even if she did not clearly make these statements it’s obvious that the police only stood by on Tuesday evening and she did say that an aggressive police response would only aggravate the r****rs and make the situation worse. Also, the mayor did not immediately request the governor to bring out the Maryland National Guard. She needed her black v**ers to believe it was a Republican governor, not herself, who did this.

When the governor was finally asked to call in the National Guard, Mayor Rawlings-Blake was careful to make sure the Republican governor stood next to her. This gave the appearance that the governor, not the mayor, wanted the National Guard to arrest the demonstrators. The mayor was not seen as acting alone to call in the troops. She had to keep her distance from the decision. The mayor obviously felt the need to walk a fine line: she needs to appear sympathetic to the r****rs’ anger yet must act responsibly and control violence.

This catch-22 situation reveals the dilemma black leaders face when they come to power. Black churches, the centers of black political thought, usually practice what is known as black liberation theology. This political perspective is based on the premise that America is run by a group of incurable white r****ts who seize upon every opportunity to suppress progress in the black community.

But when a black leader is elected mayor and becomes part of a city administration, they can’t readily order police to stop r**ts without appearing to be part of the white establishment oppressors.

This is the classic problem faced by political activists. In American politics today, all prominent black leaders strive to gain black v**es by sympathizing with their plight as an oppressed minority. But once they come into power they become the administrators and they do not have a political paradigm equipped to deal with their new role. They face an identity crisis: they simply cannot allow themselves to become the oppressive establishment they preached against for so long. They must always blame a third person, they cannot act in any way that would lead their v**ers to believe they have betrayed them. For Mayor Rawlings-Blake to call in the National Guard, and stand by that decision, would be a serious threat to her status in the community.She could no longer complain about police tactics if she orders the police to use them.

Rather than risk her political career she did the only thing she felt she could do -- provide rhetorical support for the r****rs. Then she needed a political scapegoat to take the role of the oppressive establishment politician. I would not be surprised to find that this was a conscious decision.

Black leaders have established this position because they not only must establish a third person as the person to blame but because their policies must not allow conditions in black communities to improve.

Policy changes that could make a difference would have to improve the education system and throughout the U.S. the biggest campaign contributors are the two huge national teachers’ unions. She cannot alienate some of her party’s biggest campaign contributors by removing their monopoly of the public school system. As harsh as it sounds, the public school system, as bad as it is, cannot be changed. There is simply no dramatic way to change it without threatening the existence of the Democrat Party’s control of education.

The Baltimore public school system spends more money per pupil than Loyola Academy high school in Illinois, which is the highest academically ranked high school in the state. Clearly, Baltimore doesn’t need to spend more money. What it does need to do is turn the education system over to the private sector. But this would cause the DNC to lose one of their largest sources of campaign money and support. So Baltimore’s terrible public school system is due to greed and a desire to maintain political control, not a lack of resources.

As long as black political leaders continue to support demonstrations, even violent ones, against "injustice", it will be very difficult for them to impose law and order. They can’t sympathize with angry outbursts and then stifle them. The v**ers will only remember the imposition of law and order, which they see as a characteristic of white establishment oppressors.

The best way for anyone to get a better paying job and move out of the ghetto is to get a good education, but Democrats are tied to their big campaign money and are loathe to make changes. In fact it is difficult to point to any big city run by Democrats that has done a good job with the education dollars they spend. All they can do is continue the terrible education system and continue to blame it on the establishment even if they are the establishment and have enough power to make real changes.

To shut down the r****rs and improve the education system the mayor must betray the two legs of her support: those who v**ed for her as someone who would stand up against the oppressive establishment, and those teacher union members who give her party large campaign contributions. It is not just Baltimore’s poor black communities who suffer from Democratic leadership. All large cities with poor black communities and horrible schools are run by Democrats. If Democrats greatly improved these communities and gave black residents the education needed to earn a good living they would move out and the Democrats would lose all their big urban power bases. The last thing Democrats want is for black residents to get a quality education and move out of their control.

This analysis explains why Mayor Rawlings-Blake delayed police control of the r****rs and why Baltimore’s black residents do not get a quality education. Long ago Democrats realized that they must create a demand for themselves. They must portray themselves as sympathetic to the plight of poor minorities but act to ensure they always stay poor minorities. Anyone who disagrees with this should comment here and point to a large city run by black Democratic leadership that has completely improved the school system and changed the poor black communities into prosperous ones. Historically, the opposite has occurred. Black communities continue to get worse. And under the leadership of the first black president the situation is worse than ever.

Leave it to morons to be in charge

son of witless

I can't tell for sure , but it appears that half the cops being charged are African Americans. Is there r****m here?

moldyoldy

There was a choice between escalation, or de-escalation, and the mayor made the right choice.

2bltap Loc: Move to the Mainland

You really are a tool aren't you. What about making the THUGS responsible for their harmful behavior? Quit making excuses for her. What age did was reprehensible and she should be fired and and sued by every single of the good people there. It may have been criminal what she did. I hope that she and her fellow tools are investigated!!

bmac32 Loc: West Florida

Does this really surprise anyone? Remember the r**ts of 68?
How about the Baltimore municipal strike of 74 where waste collectors seeking higher wages and better conditions. They were joined by sewer workers, zookeepers, prison guards, highway workers, recreation & parks workers, animal control workers, abandoned vehicles workers, and eventually by police officers. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie and it cost everyone money including unions. Baltimore is just like Chicago is that it has been abused by democrats since 1967.

Pulfnick Loc: Knoxville, TN

I'll never understand why people like you support allowing violent thugs to r**t and destroy other people's lives. Are you just a flaming hypocrite or would you gladly change places with the people who's property and lives were destroyed by these thugs? The mayor permitted the r**t: http://launch.newsinc.com/share.html?trackingGroup=91575&siteSection=libertyalliance&videoId=28971994

The right choice? That's really sick!

ldsuttonjr Loc: ShangriLa

Pulfnick: Just look at the websites that moldyoldy references...they only pump his ass full of sand!!!!

moldyoldy

You two i***ts concentrate on a very few people who damaged property. It was ignored when 5000 students marched peacefully. The news needs sensationalism to attract your ilk to pay attention.

bmac32 Loc: West Florida

Nothing new here, the left always points to other bad behavior as a reason for more bad behavior.

son of witless

Wow those " very few people " sure got a lot done. So how many you think it was any who? One, one, two, three, five, eight,--- or maybe 6765?

mouset783 Loc: Oklahoma

I bet you are glad you don't own a car or property in Baltimore. If you did would that be the right choice for you.?

son of witless

Oh no she di-int. You have to stop violence before it gets momentum. Once you allow the mob to experience violence they want more. Violence builds on itself. Letting the street mob get violence out of it's system has been proven not to work.

With an over 50% high school drop out rate by these young folks better education or more money being thrown away to the schools is a waste of time. These kids NEED TO WANT that education. It's also sickening to me that the kids who do want to utilize the education provided are scorned by their peers. Peer pressure in the black community or any community is a major kick to tge groin and unfortunately sways these kids to the dark side.
