Fresh off the heels of the march on Charlottesville and the destruction
of historical monuments in the South by Black Lives Matter, protests are
occurring; this time it is against our National Anthem and our flag in
stadiums across our country. Taking the knee was first introduced by
former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick about a year ago, but has since
gained in momentum as many other black athletes with million-dollar
salaries have joined in solidarity with demonstrations against white
oppression and racism.
Whites comprise about 75 percent of America's population and they have
had just about enough of the offensive accusations, protests, and moral
outrage directed at them. Yes, blacks were brought here centuries ago as
slaves, but America did not originate slavery nor do we still practice
slavery, as do parts of Africa and Muslim nations today. In fact, America
fought a civil war to end slavery. It's been over 150 years since the
Emancipation Proclamation, thus, the fate of today's blacks rests not
upon yesterday's slaveholders, but upon today's failed black leadership
who have intentionally kept America's blacks on an imaginary plantation
through the indoctrination of victimhood. By instilling the notion that
blacks today are the victims of white racism and "white privilege", black
leadership (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and Maxine
Waters, to name a few) have created not only an entitlement mentality,
but a dependency and helplessness prevalent among young blacks in inner
cities throughout the country.
It is not whitey who is committing 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent
of murders, 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties throughout
the United States. Despite comprising only about 15 percent of the
population in those counties. 91 percent of blacks are murdered by other
blacks. Blacks comprise 10 percent of the population, but commit 42
percent of the robberies and 34 percent of felonies. In a report from the
Department of Justice, over a 30-year period between 1980 and 2008,
blacks committed half of all homicides in the United States despite
comprising only 13 percent of the population.

crime
Furthermore, a 2007 FBI file reports there were 433,934 single-offender
victimization crimes against whites by blacks compared to 55,685 crimes
committed by whites against blacks -- eight times as many more crimes
committed against whites by blacks. Interracial rape is almost
exclusively a black on white crime with 14,000 assaults on white woman
but not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female.
In her book The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes
Everyone Less Safe, Heather McDonald documents the inner city warfare
committed by black males against other black males. In Chicago, 76
percent of all homicides are committed by blacks and 78 percent of all
juvenile arrests involve blacks.
Black educational statistics are dismal when compared to whites. In a
2012-2013 report by the Schott Foundation titled "Black Lives Matter: The
Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males" it was
reported that only 59 percent of black males graduate from high school
compared to 65 percent for Latinos and 80 percent for whites. In Detroit,
a city governed by black leadership for decades, only 20 percent of black
males graduate from high school. What an indictment and disgrace!
Nor are whites responsible for the huge increase in out-of-wedlock
births. In 2013, 71 percent of black births were born to black unwed
mothers.
These children were born into a life of poverty without the benefit of a
father in the home. The norm for these kids is to drop out, use drugs,
become unemployed, commit crimes, and become imprisoned at many more
times the rate of whites, Asian, and Hispanics.
Yes, the black community has a problem, but it is of its own making, and
too often whites are the victims of a dysfunctional black community.
America has lavishly poured billions of taxpayers dollars in recent
decades to improve public education, outreach, and equal opportunity
programs such as Affirmative Action for blacks in inner cities, but to
what avail? We have stepped aside and watched silently as city after
city, once safe and prosperous, became Third World outposts after decades
of corrupt black Democratic leadership. They enriched themselves with
unkept promises while the rest of the population floundered.
For decades, beginning with the 60s, white guilt was kept alive by a
civil rights revolution that swept the nation. Many blacks found success
in the media, the press, education, sports, law enforcement, the halls of
government, culminating in the election of the first black President,
Barack Hussein Obama. Many whites, eager to assuage their guilt after
many years of playing defense, voted not for the best man to fill the
office, but for a symbol they hoped would end the racial conflict once
and for all. Contrarily, the election of Obama only served to exacerbate
tension between whites and blacks. Many blacks felt emboldened and
protected in their demands and racist protests against police are now
commonplace. Chants by Black Lives Matter "What do we want? Dead cops!
When do we want it? Now!" were frequently heard at protests. The result
is a war on cops with numerous officers killed in the line of duty in
NYC, Dallas, Baton Rouge, San Antonio, and other cities throughout the
land.
It is not you who needs protection from us. It is we who need protection
from you. Black problems are self-created, and history has proven that no
amount of money thrown at them will solve the problem. Scapegoating is
getting tiresome and dangerous. Do not lecture us about social injustice
and the debt owed to you. The only thing we owe you and what is owed to
any of us is equal opportunity. We have more than given that to you. It
is high time for the black community to look inwards, and when it does it
will discover the problem is not a lack of opportunities, but a lack of
values. Education, self-reliance, delayed gratification, responsibility,
hard work, ambition, and an intact family are values incorporated and
ingrained within those who lead productive decent lives. It is lacking
within a large segment of the black community. Shame on those who display
ingratitude and dishonor America, a country that has given black athletes
the opportunity to make millions playing a sport that young men in Africa
can only dream about, a country that has given blacks liberty and
opportunity. Shame on you and those who kneel with you.
