(An Irrelevant Rant of An Ambiguous Old Man)

(An Irrelevant Rant of An Ambiguous Old Man)… I have grown accustom to reading or hearing in the news where young blacks, male and female are gunned down in the street or even in their homes by other blacks.  This cancer is spreading  from city to city across the land.  These crimes, no longer rate high in terms of media sensationalism because they are considered all too common and they serve the greater good.   But, let a policeman defend himself in the performance of his duty and he becomes the scrounge of society. 

A thought process is being injected into the mindset of the police that just might cause them to hesitate.  In a direct confrontation this can be deadly.  This was played out and proved on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.  When the press question the action of the military under fire, the body count rose.  The internet media have manipulated a cast of people that are blinded by their hate.  It is a common magician's trick, we are being distracted.  We are manipulated, we are not in control, we are being guided towards an apocalyptic climax of epic proportions.

As my dear departed grandmother would often say, I have been called everything but a child of God.   Because of my opinion may differ, I have been called every conceivable name that can be attributed to a black man.  Yet, I am still ashamed that we as a people have allowed the thug elements of our society to define a movement that is supposed to bring a sense of liberation to the mass.  A movement that is supposed to bring restore  justice is defined by the mentality of thugs.  I will use the word thugs because on several occasions I or my family have been the victim of this thug mentality that permeate many of our black communities.

In the parking lot of a superstore, a young mother was beaten and robbed of fifteen dollars and a pair of tennis shoes.  Protestors moved about the parking lot with ‘T’ shirts that said, ‘I Can’t Breath’.  The police observing the protesters from a distance, choose not to engage.   Nobody seems to have heard the screams of the young mother.   

In silent repose we mourn the victims of senseless crimes while we sit quietly awaiting the next volley of gunfire to erupt signaling another  black mother has lost a child.  This  is OK, because blacks are just killing blacks?   We glorify those who chose a lifestyle of confrontation and resistance and on their backs, we pin angel wings, while overlooking that mother who sit and cry, trying to understand why her child was beaten or killed for a pair of tennis shoes.  Black on black crime its OK because we have a right to protect our turf.  The hero’s are those who resist the police and loose.

Now, before I make my point, to prove your superiority and to appease your ignorance of me, call me any name you want to. Go ahead, get it out of your system.  Do it, do it, don’t it makes you feel superior?   If we continue the road we are traveling, and we will, there is going to be a race war and the so-called black man is not going to win it.  If the diseases emerging from third world countries don’t take us out of the equation,  check your stats, FEMA, Homeland Security, world population reduction.  We are easily manipulated and are a divided people.  A house divided against itself cannot stand.  A man of color has been elected as president of this great nation, the attorney general is also a man of color, but this country and countries around the world is more divided than ever. Oh heck, lets blame it on the white man.

The so-called black populist, the black leaders will be the catalyst that divide and bring about the destruction of America as we know it today.  Manipulated by a sinister faction embedded within this country, they will be able to bring America to its knees, a feat which no other nation has been able to accomplish.  America will cast aside its constitution, and will become as that new and ungodly nation depicted in the Book of Revelation, a beast rising up out of the sea of confusion.  Martial Law will be imposed and its streets will be washed in the blood of its adversaries.  

The stock market, an entity that does not create or produce goods, it merely sucks the money out of the economy and redistribute it.  It allows the rich to get richer.  While many of us were marching and pimping the rights of thugs, the president signed laws that greatly favored wall street.  There is an old adage that says, “What goes up must come down.”  If, and when this crash comes, cities all over America will be uninhabitable.  Many American's will be forced to relocate based on their means and resources for survival.  Imagine a country where the integrity of the police departments has been impugned and gangs are allowed to roam the street.  Imagine an America where there is no welfare checks and food stamp cards.  Imagine a world where the death of poor blacks and whites is nothing but  ‘collateral damage.’   Many will have problems buying food to feed their families. 

We as a people have created negative images of ourself.  While many of us feast at the table of a government that we have deemed corrupt, we have failed to take advantage of the opportunities it provided.  As a people, we have failed to teach our young the value of respect for law and order, and the fear of God has long been cast aside. 

The battle that we are facing is not a battle between the races, it is a battle between two religions.
