"Burn That **** down!"

sheesh, it must be past my bed time, I had to look that one up

I have literally never come across that word before...

one new word acquired... :mrgreen:

Glad I could be of service. That had to be, maybe, the fourth or fifth time I've used that word in a little over fifty years of speaking the English language. It's similar to the word "plethora" in that you really need a unique situation to utilize a word like that, since there's not a plethora of opportunities to do so.

Oh boy. That's better.

I wonder how suburban towns would react...

It's even worse than that. The completely dishonest mainstream media is misrepresenting this, as is par for the course. They actually said that she was "calling for peace". Screw CNN and all the rest of the liberal media.

I think it would be a rude awakening for them if they went into the suburbs to start trouble. I think you would start to see some of these looters getting shot. I don't feel like most suburbanites look at them as they view themselves...as perpetual victims.

Oh, they are victims alright....victims of 4 decades of liberal policies and ineptitude.

I mean HUGE numbers!

Henrin said:
It's makes a hell of a lot more sense to burn your enemies stuff down than your own stuff. Who is even going to care that you burned down your stuff down?

Rioters: Take that you bastards!

Everyone else: Ummm...that's your own stuff, you know.

Rioters: SO?!

Everyone else: Well, ummm....we don't care if you burn your own stuff down.

They did it in Chicago and Detroit in '68. They did it in Watts in '66. In Berkeley in the '60s.

The Black Panther Party, founded by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in late 1966, aimed to improve civil rights of African Americans and to rid police brutality against African Americans, especially in the Oakland area. Through their Ten Point Program, the Black Panthers were able to establish a foundation for their organization as a whole. The Black Panther Party used the technique of social agitation, in the form of vigilantism, their survival programs, and more broadly their resistance to accept and conform to influence the Civil Rights Movement.
Sound familiar?

They did it again in LA in'92.

They will suffer so much more than suburbanites. There is way less crime in the suburbs, police have more time on theirs hands and there won't be any turning a blind eye to it. In Philly police do not respond to non-violent theft, fender benders and altercations if there is no gun present. In my township you can call the police for a kitty in a tree and you'd have 3 cop cars, two fire trucks and an ambulance at your house in 10 minutes. In addition, our community works WITH the police not AGAINST them. Homeowners have insurance so they really don't have the power to do any long term or significant damage. You break into my home and steal my tv, I'll have another one the same day. They're fighting a losing battle with this crap. Hopefully someone they trust will open their eyes to the fact that they are only hurting themselves.

Just as with the father of Michael Brown and the Mayor of Baltimore, the Obama administration and its Justice Department will do absolutely nothing to charge those who publically incite rioting, damage to property, and/or violence against others. Anarchy by blacks is apparently legal in modern America.

I think people in suburbs would react exactly as the puppet masters creating all this conflict are hoping.

The heart breaking reality is Blacks are still being used by people to do the heavy lifting. Only this time it's not toiling in the fields, it's toiling in the cities and towns the left has corralled them in.

Consider this reality. The left is bending over backwards to promote and reward illegal migration on a scale probably not seen in modern history. Where are they being sent to live? Recent news reports prove that case. So Blacks are seeing their communities pushed aside, jobs drying up, education dollars being redirected, and in the end, opportunity crushed.

What are Blacks supposed to do with themselves when schools suck, jobs are scarce, and their benefactors only see them as pawns in their quest for power and social change?

Compton used to be a strong Black governed city in Southern California. Today, the Census reports it's 65% Hispanic.

So Blacks are left angry, without role models, and the puppet masters creating the chaos lick their chops and plot how to ignite anger so "the crisis won't go to waste".

The question is, when will people in Black Communities wake up to the fact they have been played by the left for decades, and they only care about them when it's election time?

That sounds really good. But you may not have enough ammunition. Not to worry, though. You can just call 911.

Seriously, it's scarey to think about, isn't it?

This is an excellent post.

A couple decades ago somebody said something to me in a conversation that always stuck with me. He pointed out that our country's history is full of wave after wave of new immigrant groups coming in and starting at the bottom, and they all eventually raise up economically and socially over time... except blacks. Blacks always end up getting pushed to the bottom.

That's where our conversation stopped, and I think there is a great deal of truth to it, but I've always wondered... who does the pushing? Others? Blacks themselves (as a community)? A combination of both?

The African-American community is tightly monitored. Everyone has to do and think the same things. Too bad A-A leaders who tightly monitor are so terrible in getting their people ahead. Too bad next door neighbors and pastors who tightly monitor are so terrible in getting their people ahead. Where are the non-socialist leaders of the African-American community? I can't see any. I just see a lot of violence and destruction and not getting ahead.

As odd as it may see, isn't this what Sheriff Clarke is addressing as well?
“Police use of force serves as an igniter — there’s no doubt — but to an already volatile mix of urban pathologies, failed urban policy that exacerbates inescapable poverty, failing public schools, inadequate parenting. Father-absent homes — we all know when fathers are not around to shape the behavior of young boys, they often times grow up to be unmanageable misfits that police have to deal with in an aggressive fashion.”

“Stop trying to fix the police. Fix the ghetto.”
Sheriff Clarke Demolishes Obama: “STOP Trying to FIX the police. FIX the GHETTO”

So failed Democratic policies in these cities / communities, the leadership that those cities / communities voted in themselves, so self-inflicted, it would seem.

Really? This has turned into a gun debate? Have the government take all weapons away in areas of high incidences of violent crime using weapons. Something must be done about high incidences of violent crime using weapons. Leave weapons to owners in lower crime areas.

I can only go by what I see. I've seen parts of where I live burn in riots. I've watched communities transformed into mirrors of the countries the new majorities came from. If I had to pick, attempting to be as objective as I can, the pushing is coming from leadership in Black Communities in collusion with leadership at the state and federal level.

Imagine being born into a community where you are taught the poverty you live in is caused by others, and there is little to no chance to raise above it without being dependent on these leaders. Imagine fathers, humiliated by lack of opportunity, leaving their families to fend for themselves while they seek relief in alcohol, drugs, crime, or other relationships.

Think how many Grandparents are raising their grandchildren. What is it about these Grandparents that makes them capable to raise children, but their own children incapable? Think of the time when both grew up. Think of the policies and messaging that was taking place for each.

So the push is self fulfilling, having received the first shove from leaders who use propaganda and fear as a means of gaining power. Once moving, exploitation is simple.

As I wrote, my heart breaks for the kids especially. It angers and frustrates me to see the willingness of leadership to exploit these kids, and these struggling families.

This is the core of the issue, IMO. Lockstep groupthink is expected... and they're the ones suffering from it, not any other group. The black community, more than any other, seems to suffer from the "crab mentality", where when one tries to improve their own lot the others pull them back in/down. Any time you see/hear one black person refer to another as an "Oreo" or "Uncle Tom", the implication of course is that the person trying to improvement them self is being 'too white', that's what's going on.
