Thank you but you will not like most or all of my future posts. I am a flaming Liberal, which I define as a critical thinker unpersuaded by party, belief, rumors or conspiracy theories. Reason alone dictates. But that is hubris. We all have our hidden agenda, kept even from ourselves. I am not sure it is possible for anyone to be truly objective or fair in their assessment of any political policy. I strive to be, yet I can see only so far. There can never be any claim of being right, just an earnest approximation of truth.

I will die unwept, unhonored, and unsung by my liberal family but I have had enough. BLM has no excuse. The St. Louise riots are a disgrace and an attack on American Justice and did I mention a disgrace? End of tolerance for this violent, whiny nonsense. Aarrgghh! Grow-up my African-American fellow citizens and act like a citizen of a nation of laws. Slavery ended in 1865, over 150 years ago. Desegregation and Jim Crow Laws ended almost sixty years ago. The Blacks that came North did not have that disadvantage: what did they do with their freedom? Created ghettos and increased crime in most major cities (oh, and a solid voting block). “No go zones” had a different meaning in the North for many decades: stay out of Black neighborhoods. Sad!

Try to find any group in America that was oppressed or persecuted, perhaps or especially Native Americans, and none are today still whining like Blacks. Irish Catholics. Japanese that were interred during WWII. Jews. The Chinese in the mid to late 19th Century. Mexicans in the Southwest. Or other ethnic groups that found resistance here. Did they demand “affirmative action”? Find breaking windows and burning things and hurting their own people as a voice for Justice? BLM, can't you see how absurd you are, and ugly?

Black people make up roughly 13% of the United States population, and white people make up 64%. Black people make up 40% of the prison population, and white people 39%. Blacks in their late teens to early thirties make up the highest percentage of crime. Racial profiling works, ask NYC. Crime decreased by almost 30% after they started the program. “You hear hooves stampeding, it is probably not a herd of Zebras.”

Out of the ten cities in this country with the highest crime rate, seven cities with a Black population over 50% lead the way. The list of the Top Twenty-five Highest Crime rates have another ten cities with over 40% Black. They seem to take their crime as a just cause to strike back at the establishment of the Antebellum South, which, BTW, no longer exists for over a century.

Black Riots in the 60s and 70s and recently have a single goal: an excuse for violence and looting. Mostly their own communities suffered (pointless and ugly) and innocent people were victims. Their whine is costing billions and lives. Grow up! BLM is not a terrorist group; it is a self-hate group! It is not really justice they are demanding but privilege without achievement based on ancient grievances. An entitlement they do not deserved. "Peaceful assembly," like Martin Luther King, Jr. practiced, is the answer, and the American Way.

God bless you sir, For you have hit the nail right on the head. I would be proud to have you as a neighbor any time, and I'm white.

For me, it's not what color of skin you are born with. Its the principles you live by.

We are one, or we are none. But we must all be brothers/sisters. We must all treat each other as we would have them treat us. I believe that with all my heart.

Thank you dear friend for that sage advice. I am well aware of his proclivity to be unturned
in his mad rush to be objectionable. However, we all have our propensity, to be that from time to time.

I deal every day with folks that desire to be as he has said to you, " a flaming liberal "


So be it. If that is his want, he is certainly welcomed to bring it on. I am not without some semblance
of knowledge my self.

I do find it strange, that Liberals seen ill equipped to handle direct questions. Yet in there mad rush to show the world that the recipient of there wraith is stupid, they fail to notice the very large log in there eye.

Again, thank you. And I do very much enjoy reading your posts.

It's very rare for a man- young or old- to have self respect if he has no meaningful employment. People who have no self-respect do not respect others.

To get employment, one must exert him-herself and spend time and energy learning something that translates into employable skills.

Black kids who drop out of school for whatever reason(s) will rarely enjoy any employment for they are simply a worthless element in society. Welfare programs (how many assistance programs are there?) encourage a life of receiving something for nothing and blacks who work hard to get ahead (think Charles Payne, here) are ridiculed by those who will not work to better themselves and those who ridicule and ostracize people like Charles Payne (and numerous other successful blacks) are permanent losers who will never be able to fend for themselves without illegal activity and/or welfare.
