BLM Silent As Armed Robberies Exact Toll On Black Males


In the early morning hours of September 7th on Cleveland's west side, three masked gunmen stormed into a Taco Bell in an attempted robbery. To their surprise several employees were armed and opened fire on the robbers. 24 year old Decarlo Jackson was shot six times. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The other two suspects are still at large as of this writing. Unfortunately incidents such as this play out frequently around the country. A black male(s) attempts an armed robbery of a business establishment or home. At best he is shot and wounded, at worst he's killed by the armed store clerk or homeowner. In many instances it has been armed customers who have fired the fatal shot at the would be robber. The Black Lives matter crowd, the social justice establishment as well as the national media are dead silent while scores of black men are killed every year. According to the Centers for Disease Control the No.1 cause of death for black men 15-34 is homicide. However those that go unnoticed take place during the commission of violent crime.

This past February in Orange county California Geno Alexander Davis shot and killed Rasheen Briggs after he and an accomplice forced their way into his home. One of the suspects put a gun to the head of a female guest in the home demanding valuables. Davis ran into a bedroom, grabbed a gun and shot both suspects-killing Briggs and wounding the other man.  It appears that inflamed passions over the loss of black life are only triggered by the involvement of whites and or law enforcement. If there are sincere concerns about the lives of black men from their chief advocates,it would be prudent to address this clear and present danger which is precipitated entirely by the unwise decisions they make. The are plenty of statistics kept by the Justice department and the National Rifle Association on the numbers of guns used for self defense during armed robberies. Based on my non scientific research, a significant percentage of those who are killed are black men- exceeding those that are claimed by police. It stands to logic and evidence that the majority of police contact whereby black males are shot and or killed is driven by violent crime. Many in the black community chronically fail to connect the dots between grotesquely out of proportion crime rate and the aggressive policing which it invites. Nor are they cognizant of the threat that it poses to the law abiding black male population. As black male violent crime rates increase, every black male becomes a suspect. The mass incarceration and Black Lives Matter antagonist who conspicuously ignore the real threats to black lives will only insure that more of them will be lost.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
