PREDICTION: Race Baited Riots Return to a "A NATION of COWARDS"
Civil disobedience in Ferguson and St. Louis, Missouri, is as predictable as a sunrise and a sunset, it's just a matter of the scale of the violence.
The scab covering America's civil rights past, which had been slowly healing for the past fifty years, has now been ripped off, and Americans are being dragged back to the 1960's.
For the past six years we've been hearing a constant racial drumbeat, not just from race baiters and activists, but even from prominent Democrats like former president Jimmy Carter, who, in 2009 on NBC's Nightly News, said, "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man. There's a belief among many white people, not just in the South, but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country." President Obama had only been in office for eight months.
The propaganda of black victimization actually began one short month after Obama's inauguration, when the "godfather of racial rhetoric", Attorney General Eric Holder said, "In things racial, we have always been, and continue to be, essentially a nation of cowards."
The American people, aka, the "nation of cowards" would soon gather around their big screen TV's to watch a small town murder become a national news story. The media frenzy would bring the race baiters into the spotlight once again and they couldn't wait to pick at that racial scab.
On February 26, 2012, a black teenager, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida, by George Zimmerman, the son of a Hispanic mother. Zimmerman claimed the shooting was in self-defense and after their investigation; local authorities did not file charges.
The year was 2012, the same year Chicago had 500 cases of "murder and non-negligent manslaughters", making Chicago (Obama's hometown) the new U.S. murder capital. So, why then, was an entire nation focused on this one murder in the small town of Sanford?
You might ask Eric Holder and the Justice Department. Three weeks after the shooting, the Justice Department and the FBI announced an investigation into the Trayvon Martin case. One week later, Trayvon Martin rallies were being held in cities nationwide, and on March 23, President Obama added to the drama by saying in part, "It is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this, and that everybody pulls together, federal, state, and local, to figure out how this tragedy happened." "You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
The president of "We the People"--red, yellow, black and white--had no words of comfort for the Zimmerman family, whose son was being convicted in the media long before his trial. Representative Frederica Wilson, D-Florida, even proclaimed George Zimmerman guilty on the House floor by saying this incident was "a classic example of racial profiling followed quickly by murder."
One of the main instigators in stoking the racial fires was once again, Al Sharpton, America's self-proclaimed civil-rights advocate and MSNBC television host. (According to a recent N.Y. Times article, Mr. Sharpton owes more than $4.5 million in current state and federal taxes) This model citizen mobilized marches and protests in dozens of cities to pressure the Justice Department into taking legal action against George Zimmerman. But, because we are a nation of laws, America's justice system would have the final word.
On June 24th, 2013, Zimmerman's trial finally began, and on July 13th, the all-female jury found George Zimmerman not guilty. Al Sharpton and all the race baiters had to retreat back to their hometowns to await their next chance to grab the national spotlight.
But even after the not guilty verdict, the liberal-left continued their outrage. Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, a former civil rights leader and participant in the 1965 Selma, Alabama march, continued to pick at the racial scab.
Before the Zimmerman trial ever began, the congressman compared the Trayvon Martin killing to Emmett Till's death, the 14-year-old who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. Then, after the not guilty verdict, he said, the verdict "seems to justify the stalking and killing of innocent black boys."
I truly respect the contribution John Lewis made to the civil rights movement fifty years ago, but it's time for the old guard to let go of the past, and concentrate on helping the black youth of the 21st century.
It's now the summer of 2014. Barely a year had passed since the Zimmerman trial, when Al Sharpton and the "race brigade" were called to arms once again.
On August 9th, 2014, Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, following a confrontation between the two individuals.
But this single incident needs to be put in perspective. According to a USA Today analysis of the FBI's justifiable homicide database, during a seven-year period ending in 2012, there was an average of 96 incidents each year in which a white officer killed a black person. So, what brought about all the national attention, once again, to one shooting, in one small town in America?
You guessed it. Three days after the shooting, Al Sharpton arrives in St. Louis with his camera crews to meet with the Brown family. He then holds a press conference on the steps of the Old Courthouse in St. Louis with the family in attendance, demanding justice for the death of Michael Brown.
Later that afternoon nine people were charged with looting, President Obama released a statement about the shooting, and Eric Holder's Justice Department announced it will investigate "police tactics" across the country.
Just like in the Trayvon Martin case, Obama, Holder and Sharpton injected themselves into the middle of another local shooting.
The very next day, the Justice Department opens a federal civil rights investigation into the Ferguson shooting. On August 15th, Jesse Jackson and other civil rights leaders come to St. Louis. A few days later, Governor Nixon declared a "state of emergency" for the Ferguson area.
On August 18th, President Obama announced he's dispatching Eric Holder to Ferguson to monitor the unrest. Two days later a grand jury was convened to investigate whether Darren Wilson should be criminally charged with Michael Brown's death.
As the grand jury verdict approached, the streets of St. Louis and Ferguson began to fill with church groups and peaceful protestors. But, waiting in the shadows were the New Black Panther Party, activists, anarchists, and revolutionaries who were not going to let this fabricated "racial crisis" go to waste. The National Guard, along with federal and state police prepared for the worst. The riots were no longer a probability, they were inevitable.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but two events happened in November that puzzled me.
On November 5th, President Obama held a private meeting in the White House, yet this meeting was not posted on the official W.H. daily schedule. The following people were in attendance: Al Sharpton, NAACP President Cornell Brooks, National Urban League President, Marc Morial, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation President, Melanie Campbell, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President, Wade Henderson, and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund President, Sherrilyn Ifill.
Al Sharpton told the NY Times at one point during this private discussion, President Obama told them to "stay on course."
When asked why this meeting with an "A-list" of black leaders was not on the White House schedule, a White House official explained the meeting was merely a discussion on ObamaCare, education, and criminal justice issues. Oh, really.....let me check that answer with my "Gruber-Truth-O-Meter."
Then, on November 13th, as the verdict neared, the unbelievable happened. Remember, this is a single shooting in a St. Louis suburb--but--Michael Brown's mother and father traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to testify before the United Nations Committee against Torture. This trip was organized by the U.S. Human Rights Network.
Would someone please tell me why the shooting of an individual in Missouri is now an international issue? Then I remembered. In September, America's dirty laundry was aired out on the world stage by President Obama when he mentioned Ferguson in his United Nation's speech. He said, "America has plenty of problems within our own borders. I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri--where a young man was killed, and a community divided."
America's liberal-left had turned the Michael Brown shooting into one of the most politicized, manufactured events I've ever witnessed in my lifetime, coming in only second to the Trayvon Martin case.
I lay the blame of the "Ferguson Riots" and all ensuing violence, directly at the feet of President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, the Rev. Al Sharpton, and all the liberals who refused to stand up and decry the past six years of race baiting and divisive rhetoric.
I can only hope that all of us "stupid" Americans will one day see through this progressive propaganda and stand up--side by side, united. It doesn't matter which party you voted for, what your skin color is, whether you're rich or poor, male, female, or transgender, or which God you may, or may not worship.
"We the People" are not cattle to be herded into separate corrals based on our race and ethnicity, yet even now; President Obama and the liberal-left are trying to convince Latinos and undocumented Hispanics that only the Democrat party love them. They continue to build this "Berlin Wall" of distrust and division, pitting one citizen against the other, hoping in turn, to buy future votes.
Don't let yourselves be labeled "a nation of cowards." Be proud of who you are. We cannot let those in power chain the weak among us to a lifetime of victimization. Our children and grandchildren are depending on us to tear down those walls which divide us racially and culturally. The answer is not found in riots, violence and more hateful rhetoric.
As Abraham Lincoln once said in an 1858 speech, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
