Criminal's lives matter. Law abiding citizens and children's not at all. Where is the community organizer?

As we say in Chicago..."just another normal weekend". If only BLM cared about ALL Black lives. I guess it's more important to tear down statues and change the name of a syrup. This weekend violence will get swept under the rug.

Why is that?

Correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why it's fake news!!!!

So true!!!!!!!!!!!

Black on black crime doesn't matter or don't you know? Neither does black on white. Just white on black. That's where we are in our country today.

"Midnight Basketball" will temper all hostilites..........remember that one.

Things have to get real bad, before people wake up and do something. Complete lack of family values and propaganda from our media and school systems to blame for theses problems.

It's encouraging to read from so many, who are against the senseless tragedies of so much violence.

"Encouraging" that is, as long as those same folks recognize...the inherit roots of this violence.

That being areas of poverty where drugs and gangs seem to be the only option for so many young black people, because they've lost hope that they'll ever be...treated and given the same opportunities as whites.

So if your are truly aghast at this violence, hopefully you are as equally outraged and speaking up, about the disparities in income, opportunities and treatment...by our society as a whole.

Why do I have a strong hunch though...that isn't gong to happen?


If you were in this crowd, but fail to recognize the truth that Jane Elliott is saying (and proved - Brown Eyes-Blue Eyes (Click Here) ) and wouldn't have stood up either...then it's time to look inward.

Sadly black thugs killing their own!

How about 5.4 MILLION killed in the Congo between 1998 and 2008?
How about between 500,000 and 3 million killed by deliberate starvation in Nigeria during the Biafran war in 1968?
How about around 800,000 killed in Rwanda in 1994 (including a lot of my friends from when I worked there)?
How about close to 50 million dead in China laid at the feet of Chairman Mao? (Over decades)
How about round 100 million killed in the Soviet Union in the name of communism? (Over decades)
Nowhere in our country comes anywhere close. Several of my friends—women in their thirties—were hacked to death with machetes in the church where I worshiped with them. (Ive written about it in my book “They Don’t Eat Missionaries Anymore”.)

... its the fault of Whitey because they made the holiday and Fathers Day TOO CONFUSING for them. So they burn, riot and shoot.

For those not familiar with Jane Elliott, which is a huge shame in itself that her work isn't being taught in every school in America...here she and her famous experiment/exercise are explained.


Brown Eyes - Blue Eyes Exercise (poke here)

It is sometimes cited as a landmark of social science. The textbook publisher McGraw-Hill has listed her on a timeline of key educators, along with Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Horace Mann, Booker T. Washington, Maria Montessori and 23 others.

Yet what Elliott did continues to stir controversy.

Elliott pulled out green construction paper armbands and asked each of the blue-eyed kids to wear one. "The browneyed people are the better people in this room," Elliott began. "They are cleaner and they are smarter."

She knew that the children weren't going to buy her pitch unless she came up with a reason, and the more scientific to these Space Age children of the 1960s, the better. "Eye color, hair color and skin color are caused by a chemical," Elliott went on, writing MELANIN on the blackboard. Melanin, she said, is what causes intelligence.

The more melanin, the darker the person's eyes—and the smarter the person. "Brown-eyed people have more of that chemical in their eyes, so brown-eyed people are better than those with blue eyes," Elliott said. "Blue-eyed people sit around and do nothing.

You give them something nice and they just wreck it." She could feel a chasm forming between the two groups of students.

And some of the responses to her exercise?

Well, let's just say the same attitudes (as so perfectly demonstrated by some of the posts in this thread)...exist today with a whole lot of folks.

"How dare you try this cruel experiment out on white children," one said.

"Black children grow up accustomed to such behavior, but white children, there's no way they could possibly understand it. It's cruel to white children and will cause them great psychological damage."

Elliott replied, "Why are we so worried about the fragile egos of white children who experience a couple of hours of made-up racism one day when blacks experience real racism every day of their lives?"

The main takeaway that people need to really get, is that racism, bigotry, prejudice is NOT predestined...it is TAUGHT.

I would be remiss if I didn't give a quick acknowledgement, to those in this thread who have piped up...to prove me correct.


So, to those folks I give a heartfelt...Thank You.
