Thank you Baltimore! You make the feral blacks in Ferguson look like amateurs. After all, they didn’t have to shut down a baseball stadium in St. Louis like they did in Baltimore. Can you imagine that? They played a professional baseball game without any fans because it was too dangerous to go to the ballpark in 65% black Balitmore. And the assholiness abounded. First up was was Brooke Baldwin of CNN who blamed the riots in Baltimore on military veterans.
After more than a year of CNN pouring gasoline all over America with hysterical, and oftentimes phony, stories of American racism, the left-wing network’s afternoon anchor Brooke Baldwin finally took it to the next level by blaming American veterans for the Baltimore riots.
In a pathetic suck-up interview with Democrat Congressman Elijah Cummins, Baldwin never once had the moral courage to ask the failed Baltimore City congressman if the left-wing policies ushered in by a half-century of a Democrat monopoly in Baltimore might have something to do with the city’s ills. Instead, she said of young military veterans who become police officers, “I love our nation’s veterans, but some of them are coming back from war, they don’t know the communities, and they are ready to do battle.”
WTF? Holy fucking shit! Of course she was talking to Elijah Cummins just another racist member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Fortunately for Brooke, this was CNN so no one heard her disgusting remarks smearing our military veterans. These riots can be laid at the feet of feral blacks and 50 years of failed Dimocrat policies that have kept blacks poor, uneducated, and dependent upon the gummint.
But, she was topped by Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the mayor of Baltimore.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is drawing fire from police and citizens around the nation for fueling the Baltimore riots.
At a press conference on Saturday night, Mayor Rawlings-Blake made the comment that is now getting a lot of attention on national media:
“I’ve made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech.
“It’s a very delicate balancing act, because while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.”
Huh? “those who wished to destroy space to do that”? What kind of idiot sez sumpin’ like that? She then tried to say she never said that, but the cameras were rolling when she said it. And then, of course there was the “taken out of context” excuse. That doesn’t fly either.
Pics from Ron of Ohio.
She also said about the destruction from some of the rioting, “Let them loot, it’s only property.” Spoken like a true rat bastard commie. I wonder how CVS feels about that? After all, she lobbied real hard to get them to open a store that has now been looted and burned. If they’re smart, they won’t rebuild and reopen the store.
These same people who are doing the looting and burning will be the same people who will be bitching about there being no stores in their neighborhoods. Would you open a store in a neighborhood filled with wild animals? I wouldn’t. Call me racist, but that’s what I saw on the television: wild animals rioting. Civilized people do not do that.
Of course the usual RWPPs like Al Tawana Brawley Crown Heights Riots Freddie’s Fashion Mart Arson Greek homos Sharpton are crawling out from under their rocks to weigh in. Never let a good feral black riot go to waste.
But, of all of them, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake wins the prize and receives the coveted AOTW Award for this week. It takes a real talent to put your foot in your mouth as badly as she did.
Update: I read on another site that T Rowe Price was considering moving their headquarters out of the city for security issues and the protection of their employees, but our sterling AOTW Stephanie “Let them loot. It’s only property.” Rawlings-Blake assured them that the city would provide security. They signed a lease to stay until 2027. If I were running T. Rowe Price, I would go ahead and eat that lease and move the headquarters elsewhere. We’ve seen what her idea of security is. Why would any major corporation want to have their headquarters in a Third Woprld African city which is what Baltimore is devolving to. If you think the above linked site “be raciss”, realize that facts don’t lie.
But, but, BUT.. She’s a Sistuh, NOTHING she does is EVER wrong..
Let them burn up all the stores and shops. But, I don’t want to hear bitch one about living in a “food desert” or how businesses aren’t willing to invest there. Shit in your nest you gotta sleep in it.
It would be nice if once., something like this happened nobody did indeed rebuild and instead just said, enough and just left. Leaving the community to rot. I really would not mind one bit. Then after that to listen to them bitch and moan about lack of stores. Would serve them right. As for me any patience and sympathy for there plight has long since evaporated, with the hard knowledge these are criminals who do not wish for justice but simply want to steal, loot and act violently for the sake of violence only. In another decade long ago, the troops would have been called in force with orders shoot to kill and that would have been the end of it right there. But we have a PC party in power terrified of doing the right thing, or anything at all it seems to me.
The Quik Trip in Ferguson that was burned down is not rebuilding and not coming back.
Denny.., good for them. To bad TRRowe Price did not do the same thing along with many others. If it were me. I would just pack up and leave and never return. As I have said, I no longer have any sympathy for the rioters or the protesters.
Its a grim fact this happened in a city that has indeed been heavily dominated by the Democratic party for so long. We get the government we deserve it seems in spades.
Denny, the “protesters” were not animals, since animals do not destroy shit because they’re taking advantage of a situation. These are sub-human savages.
Think of all the big cities that have been run [down] by Liberal Dems for decades , —– the possibilities this summer are virtually endless for our entertainment [ snark ] ——– This will eventually reach a tipping point where it’s even obvious to the Lamestream what the real problem is . —— Yeah , I know , I’m dreamin’ . Our old buddy , Fatass Michael Moore said something to the effect that they don’t even need cops in the hood —— works for me . —- More popcorn !
I’ve lived and work in Baltimore since ’91. Always knew these days wee coming since I moved to town and watched, listened and witnessed these youths. In 24 years not a thing has improved the situation. And how much money have we thrown away on schools, programs, etc? Rawlings-Blake is a politician born on 3rd base going through life as if she hit a triple. Many good people in the black community are appalled by her, Cummings, the whole lot of their leaders. Also, many are disgusted by the behavior of these idiots and the looters. Too bad they can’t find real leadership that wants to do the heavy lifting. Billions of dollars have evaporated since these incidents, and it’s far from over. Media deserves a big runner up for AOTW for totally blowing things out of proportion and throwing gasoline on the narrative.
“Let them loot, it’s only property.”
OK, we’ll send them over to your house stat.
Denny:
The big lie that is spread around is that poverty causes crime. In fact, the opposite is true, crime causes poverty. I heard Jimmy Walker explain this some years ago.
The narrative goes like this: Legitimate businesses avoid high crime areas because the cost of doing business is too high. Between shop lifting, vandalism, the need for security, etc. national grocers and retailers stay away. This leaves only businesses willing to take on the high overhead which means that prices are higher. Higher prices work against getting out of poverty.
Also, legitimate poor people tend not to break the law. They tend to have inferiority complexes (what we now call low self esteem) which means that they are afraid of getting caught. If you are afraid of getting caught you don’t do the crime.
Crime tends to be committed by people with huge egos because they think that they are too smart to get caught. These people are the underground who could hardly be considered poor. The pimps, the drug pushers, the scam artists, the bookies, etc. Those who prey on the poor and help keep them poor.
Progressive policies do not help the poor because what the poor need most is structure and values. Progressive policies do not support either.
We are duped into believing that the government throwing tax money at the poor will help them and is the Christian way. This is nonsense. The Christian way is that we, as individuals help the poor not that we enrich the government by letting them do it.
When you receive help from the government you feel entitled and look for more: When you receive help from a neighbor you feel gratitude and roll up your sleeves. That’s why government charity becomes generational while private charity helps people become independent.
When all the white are finally eliminated from the earth it will truly be the planet of the apes.
That’s the underlining goal.
Hell, Deny, spread it over a couple of weeks and give ’em each one. Hard to imagine anybody who has done more to earn an award than this pair.
Maybe it’s time to revisited the “Great Society” so-called civil rights law. Intentionally created to have what we now have.
None of this matters because the Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge just had a baby girl! Doesn’t anybody care?
No.
Nope.., neither do I. I saw it on Yahoo. meh.
As many of you know, I have spent a great deal of time in Baltimore during my business career.
A close friend of mine has confirmed that the CVS store was totally destroyed and the looting was incredibly extensive.
It is hard to believe all that was left was Suntan lotion and Father’s Day cards!!!!!!
I just hope that CVS sues the city for failure to protect their business and then refuses to rebuild in that area.
I hope they do the same. But probably will not. More than likely to be PC and not offend anybody especially Blacks. They will rebuild and promise to outreach to the community and be more sensitive to their needs.
This probably has nothing direct about the crap going on inBaltimore, but back in 1949 to 1957, Baltimore’s mayor was tommy D’Allesandro. He was arguably the most corrupt city politician since Boss Tweed in New York back about the turn of the 20th century. D’Allesandro’s terms as mayor was filled with cronyism, intimidation against political opponents, bribes, and other various and sundry criminal activities. D’Allesandro had a daughter named Nancy, who has gone on to following in her dad’s footsteps as the most corrupt politicians in Congress, with the exception of Dirty Harry Reid. We know that daughter as Nancy Pinocchio Pelosi.
With all the obvious corruption going on in Baltimore today, it can be said that A’Allessndro’s legacy of blatant corruption is still in effect today, both in Congress and in Baltimore. Ol’ Tommy would be so proud. And, it goes without saying that the apple always falls close to the tree (to paraphrase a very trite adage).
NOW FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT POLICE SHOOTINGS: MORE POLICE, MORE WHITES SHOT THAN BLACK MALES
Thanks to the fine work of the staff at the Gateway pundit, we have hard numbers that refute the lie that more Black males than White males are shot by our police. More than this, the numbers show that substantially more police officers than Black males are killed each year.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund has compiled the roll of police officers killed over the past five years. Their research reveals that on average 136 law enforcement officers have been killed in the line of duty each year during the years 2010 through 2014.
The Gateway Pundit has developed the fact that on average 96 Black males were killed by White police officers during each of these same years. While this number should be sobering to an honest media (if there were one) the fact that the police kill 300 White males each year destroys the false narrative of White police officers roaming the streets, seeking out innocent Black males to kill.
Moreover, FBI statistics show that in 2014 Blacks killed 431 White people while just 193 Whites killed Blacks. It is worth noting that since the FBI has been totally corrupted by the Obama Administration, the “Whites” who killed these Blacks may likely be police officers who have been double counted, which is a favorite trick of the Left.
What they can’t double count is the yearly harvest of death visited upon Blacks by other Blacks who kill almost 6000 of their own on average each year. These numbers clearly demonstrate that Blacks are violently out of control and will kill even other Blacks to get what they want when they want it, which is always now. Blacks who are just 13% of our population commit an inordinate number of murders each year and we are never told about this by our dishonest media.
The figures surrounding Black criminality are ignored by the people who are supposed to report the truth. Black killings are not reported, they are wrapped in lies and half-truths.
Also….As an aside to this, from 2003-2008 the FBI and DOJ also published statistics on violent rape in the USA. They stopped publishing them outright when Obama entered office
YEARLY AVERAGE 2003-2008
White on Black: 0
Black on White: 22,534
Black on Black: 24,730
Yes – white on black rape was ZERO for this period. The FBI could not find any statistically confirmable cases.
Denny,
I’m afraid that you are going to need categories for AOTW, it has gotten so bad that there just can’t be one.
One for the dumbocraps / liberals, one for politicians (maybe more than one), one for the feral domestic terrorist, one for corrupt cops, sheez, I think I just depressed myself. It is that bad :-(. Perhaps some that are just awarded permanently.
Sigh, Yukon Jack, I need Yukon Jack.
What is there left to do, with every thought monitored are we just totally screwed?
The question of the day is……….Why when the downtrodden black minority chooses to rampage, riot & destroy everything,the Welfare office is never touched? Must be a safe zone or sanctuary I guess.
I am completely of the belief were we to take 25 million so called disadvantaged blacks & send them back to Africa & replace with 25 million African volunteers for a chance to come to America the following would happen.
1. Welfare costs would fall by 75%
2.Crime would be reduced by 75%
3, Illegitimate birthrates would be cut in half at a minimum
4. The new African /Americans would grab all the jobs available & we would have no need for illegal immigrants from anywhere.
Yes I know this is racist to target the downtrodden blacks but they are the only group dumb enough to rampage,riot, pillage & burn everything while at the same time clutching the free benefits which allow them to exist without having to work.
Dudley1 – What you say is true. See my comment above about the black immigrant RN and my Jamaican coworker.
For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an interesting
experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and
working-class whites.
The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people
taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully
integrated as citizens in a majority white population?
The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization.
The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and
virtually no intellectual achievements. Acting on a policy that was not
fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people
into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled
with racial discord ever since.
Decade after decade the problems
persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if
they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and
concocted program after program to get the result they wanted. They
created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build
the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences,
built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.
Their new
laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise
unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school
integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of
parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to black schools
and vice versa. They tried with money, special programs, relaxed
standards, and endless handwringing to close the “achievement gap.” To
keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even
private statements on race. They hung up Orwellian public banners that
commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No to Racism.”
Nothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.
Some thought that what W.E.B. Du Bois called the Talented Tenth would lead
the way for black people. A group of elite, educated blacks would knock
down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable
of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the black Americans who have
become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent
is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be
followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and
promote social stability. That is what is missing.
Through the
years, too many black people continue to show an inability to function
and prosper in a culture unsuited to them. Detroit is bankrupt, the
south side of Chicago is a war zone, and the vast majority of black
cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And blacks
never take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in
anger and resentment.
Across the generations and across the
country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles,
Cincinnati, and now Ferguson and Baltimore, rioting and looting are just
one racial incident away. The white elite would tell us that this
doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We
need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, and more
opportunities.
But nothing changes no matter how much money is
spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many black
geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president. Some argue
it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior
instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.”
But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World,
immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and
not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these
people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT,
black “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime,
which includes viciously punching random white people on the street for
the thrill of it that has nothing to do with poverty.
The experiment has failed. Not because of culture, or white privilege, or
racism. The fundamental problem is that white people and black people
are different. They differ intellectually and temperamentally. These
differences result in permanent social incompatibility.
Our rulers don’t seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are
with this experiment. They don’t understand that white people aren’t out
to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are
exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless
complaints, and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of
grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity.
The elites explain everything with “racism,” and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.
Often black immigrants who have not been spoiled by black American culture i.e. doing well in school is “acting white” can succeed. Unfortunately, the children of those people get infected with black American culture and become just like American blacks. Anecdote follows: A black family immigrated from South America. The mother was an RN. The blacks where she worked spoke Ebonics to her. She had to tell them to speak English since she couldn’t understand what they were saying. Her son came home from school doing the same. She had to tell him to speak English. Of course, he was derided at school for “actin’ white”. True story.
Most of the blacks I worked with at IBM were hard working middle class blacks. One was the son of a Mississippi sharecropper who joined the Air Force and learned electronics. He got hired by IBM and I met him here in Atlanta where he was a hardware instructor along with me. He eventually became a manager. Smart, hardworking dude who despised Jesse Jackson. Another one was from Jamaica. He was a hardworking middle class black dude. He and I were on a team together teaching large mainframes. Racist comment follows: Blacks as a whole are not as intelligent as whites, just as whites as a whole are not as intelligent as Asians. Blacks are, however, better at athletics. There is a difference in races. That being said, blacks can achieve if they work hard, do well in school, quit speaking like ghetto blacks, and learn to read and write English. I’ve seen it done many many times. Quit listening to race hustlers like Jackson and Sharpton, turn your hats around, pull up your pants, and quit blaming white people for your problems. It’s ironic that just as civil rights legislation was passed the black pride movement started and that’s when the anti-achievement doing well in school is actin’ white and hard working blacks were branded as Uncle Toms started. Blacks who fell for this bullshit were the blacks who didn’t succeed. Blacks who “acted white” did succeed.
Funny “they” use the name uncle Tom to imply someone is a black acting white.
The irony is that uncle Tom fought and died fighting against slavery.
Guess you have had to read the book to know that.
Willie ….Books are like Kryptonite to a Black Thug or for that matter most Liberal Democrats …too many details spoil a perfectly good bullshit story.”LIE”
