More Racism From A Racist
Yesterday in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, PolitiFact Georgia fact checked an op-ed by noted “civil rights icon” and racist John Lewis. In it he wrote the following: “Black children constitute 18 percent of the nation’s public school children but 40% of the children who are suspended or expelled.” They rated it mostly true.
John Lewis was hit on the head one too many times with a night stick during the Civil Rights era. He has become a race baiting asshole. A few examples.
A few years back when John Eaves was running for head of the Atlanta City Council, Lewis, Shirley Franklin, and Andrew Young made a race baiting ad that ran on black radio stations that stated, among other things, that if Eaves lost the election we would be going back to the days of fire hoses and dogs. There was a large outcry about this race baiting but Lewis shrugged it off.
When Obummercare was passed, Lewis and the rest of the Congressional black Caucus walked through a Tea Party protest trolling for racist remarks. There were none. However, Lewis claimed he was called “nigger” thirteen times. All the videos taken at that event showed no evidence of racist remarks. Fellow race baiter Al Sharpton told Bill O’Reilly that he had seen the tape supporting Lewis’s contentions. Breitbart offered $50K for any video supporting Lewis’s contentions. There were no takers. Sharpton must have lied as well. I’m shocked!
So, now that I’ve attacked Lewis’s credibility, I’ll have to give him props on this. These figures are prolly correct. Does this indicate racism? Hardly.
Blacks overall commit more crimes than whites, and most of them are crimes against other blacks. What do you expect? The majority of black children are raised by single mothers and single grandmothers. There are lots of baby mommas but no baby daddies. This lack of fathers leave black children with no male role models other than than athletes, rappers, pimps, and drug dealers. Of course this carries over when black males go to school. Also, there is the black culture that doing well in school is “acting white”.
With just those two things I would expect blacks to have more discipline problems in schools.
Here’s a personal anecdote. Back when I worked in the Office Products Mattel Division of IBM, I hated going to the predominately black schools to fix the typewriters in the typing classrooms. There was far more vandalism in the black schools than the white schools. I got real good at replacing rotate tapes on Selectric typewriters, since that was the easiest thing for them to break. Cover off, new rotate tape installed, adjusted, and cover back on in less than ten minutes. Before I entered the school, I usually put ten rotate tapes in my suit coat (yeah we wore suits back then) pocket. I usually used them all. I could count on spending an entire afternoon in a majority black school. I spent less time in a majority white school. Less vandalism. I’m a racist for pointing this out.
Sorry Congresscritter Lewis. As Cassius said to Brutus, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
The fault here is not racism, but the black culture itself. You don’t solve poverty by giving people money and you don’t solve problems in the black community by making excuses for poor behavior and screaming racism. You should be demanding excellence. You should be aghast at a population where the illegitimacy rate is around 70%. That is a disgrace. You should be asking, “Where are the fathers?”
But it is far easier to scream racism, blame whitey, promote dependence upon gummint, and not demand responsibility for one’s actions. And I’m a racist for writing this.
