What’s Been Allowed to Happen in Baltimore is a Moral and Cultural Abomination

What’s been allowed to happen in Baltimore is a moral and cultural abomination. Once again, so-called activists, a large number of them black, have been allowed to attack and assault police officers in addition to destroying public and private property. These so-called demonstrators claim anger over what happened to 25-year-old Freddie Gray who died in police custody, allegedly from three fractured vertebrae and a crushed voice box. Specific details are still forthcoming and if the officers are in fact guilty of negligence, they should be fired, they should lose their pensions, and be prosecuted.  If found guilty, they should be punished.

Just like many incidents prior- notably Sanford, Florida and Ferguson, Missouri- protestors have decided to rob, loot, damage and destroy the city of Baltimore as an expression of justifiable outrage. Rather than comporting themselves with dignity and respect, and waiting for the details to be released in regards to how and why Gray died, these degenerate “protestors” and “demonstrators” are acting like wild animals who have escaped their natural habitat, wreaking havoc and terror on civilized society.

After all, nothing says “justice” like out-of-control blacks attacking random whites and causing chaos as they burn, damage, destroy buildings in addition to looting stores- making off with liquor, televisions and shoes- while inconveniencing thousands of city residents who had absolutely nothing to do with Gray’s death.

Aside from the ‘soft bigotry of low expectations’ that allow and excuses bad black behavior in such socially destructive ways we don’t dare allow from any other racial group, once again this despicable behavior unfairly stigmatizes those blacks who condemn and are embarrassed by such conduct.

Why has the mayor of Baltimore allowed these reprobates to cause this kind of damage to the city? And she did allow it, which is why Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is partially responsible for this citywide mayhem. She directed the Baltimore Police Department to “give those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.” Rawlings-Blake went on to say, “We work very hard to keep that balance [between free speech and destructive elements], and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate.”

Idiot. Moron.

What political leader in their right mind directs peace officers to stand by and watch as hooligans are given the chance to engage in violence and destroy property? You don’t cater to a mob made up of thugs who distrust and dislike law enforcement, and give them an outlet for their behavior-letting them vent- as if once these degenerates have gotten their misplaced anger out of their system, they’ll clean up their mess and quietly go home.

Because of the mayor’s failure to act quickly and appropriately, the Baltimore Police Department is in need of the National Guard to come in to help restore order in Baltimore after the Maryland Governor Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency.

Scenes of burning and chaos in Baltimore are reminiscent of Gotham’s chaos in The Dark Knight Rises and Rawlings-Blake did her part to facilitate it. Her city is being destroyed and it shows- aside from the stupidity of allowing thugs an opportunity to start their demolition of the city she presides over- just how incompetent she is. It also shows just how stupid the policy of allowing blacks- the only group this low standard applies- to act in such disgraceful ways, just and only because they’re black.

For this reason, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake should be forced to step down. She’s obviously demonstrated a clear lack of leadership and competence. But she won’t be forced to leave because she’s a woman, black and Democrat. And not just a Democrat, but a member of the Democratic National Committee[2].

Ah, affirmative action.

And for those who’re complaining that the people demolishing Baltimore aren’t residents- who cares? That’s not the point. What matters is the behavior that’s being allowed and which lends itself to scorn and condemnation- the riots, the fires, the looting, the attacking police, regardless of what geographic area these criminals hail.

Unfortunately what we’re seeing is the culmination of what began with the Trayvon Martin circus. This is the environment that Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, the grievance industries, and the mainstream media helped create and nurture. Racial divisiveness, mixed with healthy and consistent doses of ‘blame whitey’ and ‘white privilege’- in addition to too many people excusing bad black behavior and justifying it under the guise of acceptable “anger” has created this environment.

More to the point, this behavior is precisely what happens when people completely embrace the idea that they’re forever victims of social, economic or racial injustice. Blacks are convinced- against any and all evidence to the contrary- that the “system” is “racist” and intentionally set up against them. Forget the idea of personal responsibility for one’s actions. When you’re a victim, you have grievances; when you have grievances, it’s always someone, anyone or everyone else’s fault. People who’re convinced that their identity is that of victim feel justifiably entitled to act in the way we saw in Sanford and Ferguson, that we’re seeing in Baltimore and which I’m sure we’ll see again very soon.

And where does this kind of damaging mindset of victimization and perpetual grievance come from? Leftism. Leftism in all its forms has done a tremendous disservice to blacks, having poisoned their minds and hearts, leaving them perpetually angry and racially paranoid. Though I still lay the blame on Obama, Holder and company- all Leftists, by the way- all of this anti-social behavior is the culmination of what the Left has done to blacks since the 1960’s. White progressives have made perpetual children of blacks, whose temper tantrums- which continues to be the only way blacks are able to articulate their frustrations- must be endured as proof of a still racist county absolving itself of its past racial sins and other injustices.

And the resentment this creates and nourishes among mainstream America might be too large to overcome.

That black people continue to humiliate themselves like this is disgusting and I’m sick of it. White people are too frightened to tell the truth about bad black behavior for fear of verbal and physical reprisals. Blacks are too afraid to speak out against criminal behavior that lends itself to black stereotypes because of racial empathy and racial solidarity.

But, those blacks that choose not to condemn these lawless actions- largely a product of the black underclass, but increasingly adopted and justified by blacks in the middle class- that sit silently on the sidelines out of fear and/or racial solidarity and empathy are, in my opinion, traitors to their race and their country. Their silence condones this behavior. Their lack of justifiable outrage for unjustifiable black lawlessness in cities across America sends a clear message that the jungle behavior that destroys our nation’s cities is an appropriate way to air one’s grievances, real or imagined. Black silence in the face of vandalism and continuing anarchic riots betrays everything their cultural ancestors achieved. Silent blacks are guilty of undermining the achievements of abolitionists and freed slaves, of undermining blacks who fought against insurmountable odds to prove to former slave owners and other whites who were suspect of black humanity that blacks were every bit as dignified as they were; of damaging the legacy of blacks who successfully fought their way into the American mainstream though legalized discrimination fought back. America isn’t perfect, but black silence is complicit in unnecessarily betraying a country that has given blacks every material benefit and social opportunity their forebears could only dream of.

Blacks will never- never– get ahead, or be taken seriously, as long as we endorse this kind of behavior- our silent complicity telling beleaguered onlookers that this kind of conduct is acceptable and must be endured.

This behavior shouldn’t be endured. The behavior we saw in Sanford, Florida was inexcusable.

The behavior we saw in Ferguson, Missouri was inexcusable.

The behavior we saw in New York City, where marchers chanted anti-police slogans including “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now,” was inexcusable.

The behavior of the so-called ‘black lives matter campaign’ characterized by stopping traffic on city streets and freeways, screaming at restaurant patrons or taking over department stores in multiple cities while annoying and inconveniencing people… this kind of petulance aside from not endearing people to their message, was and is, inexcusable.

And of course, the behavior in Baltimore is inexcusable.

Rev. King once said that, “non-violence is the most potent weapon available to the Negro in his struggle for freedom and justice. I think for the Negro to turn to violence would be both impractical and immoral.” King also added, “I would hope that we can avoid riots because riots are self-defeating and socially destructive.”

Having forgotten King’s message of civility and non-violence, the nation is once again witness to the reasons why more and more people increasingly have such a low opinion of blacks in general, and why moral expectations of blacks are so low. With behavior like this, we’ve earned every bit of the condemnation and ridicule we get. Racist, out-of-control cops, emblematic of a racist country aren‘t to blame.

We are.

To say black priorities are out of order is a tremendous understatement. The overwhelming majority of these black suspects killed by police were attacking the cops or resisting arrest (Freddie Gray ran from police after he made eye contact with them), or had criminal histories. These men aren’t martyrs and black reverence for them reveals our broken moral compass. In addition to making saints of slain black suspects- and completely ignoring any and all facts relevant to every situation in which this occurs- blacks set out to destroy their own neighborhoods while calling for “justice.” No wonder the ghetto is the ghetto- an economic and social wasteland. This is why property values, which are already low, continue to decrease in value. It’s why people with any sense, don’t invest in black neighborhoods- too much risk, too little reward. It’s why those who can, leave the ghetto the moment the opportunity arises.

More so, our skewed moral compass is even more recognizable for this very reason. Regardless of how many black suspects who’re killed by police, it still pales in comparison to the numbers of blacks killed by other blacks through abortion and black-on-black criminality every year. Shockingly, blacks can’t find the time to riot over that. Blacks aren’t burning businesses over it either. Blacks aren’t holding vigils and demonstrations over the injustice of black genocide. This reality goes completely ignored when compared to what happens when a black suspect with a rap sheet is shot and killed by police. Like I said before, when you’re a victim, it’s always someone else’s fault. When you’re a victim- or in the case of blacks, the victim- the notion of personal responsibility doesn’t exist. And as long as blacks embrace this destructive identity, black chaos will continue.

People, regardless of color, need to stop making excuses for black violence, criminality and chaos. Blacks need to take responsibility for themselves- and this starts by blacks publicly and consistently denouncing such poor, socially destructive and irresponsible behavior. The shame and embarrassment that accompanies victimization, which has permeated and debilitated black culture, must come to an end. It’s time for blacks to consistently demonstrate that we’re not second-class citizens who’re incapable of living up to the standards we expect of everyone else.

The only things at stake are black self-respect, dignity and our reputations. I mean, black lives matter, right?
