Here We Go Again

The liberal left cannot comment on anything anymore without raising the ghost of racism.  And when an event such as happened in Ferguson, Missouri occurs, they go apeshit.  They refuse to recognize that the vast majority of Americans, as well as most other people in the civilized world, no longer embrace racism.  What we do object to is lawlessness and anti-social actions from people who do not adapt to the basic rules of civilized behavior within the traditional accepted culture of a community.  It has nothing to do with race.  It has everything to do with respecting the society people live in, and acting accordingly.

For some reason a relatively high percentage of African-Americans, print journalists and broadcast talking heads seem to know nothing about the US Constitution and the American justice system.  They do not seem to understand the concept of trial by a jury of peers rather than vigilante demands from a violent mob, self-appointed ethnic activist, or mass media commentators convicting someone before the facts are determined or accusations are proven.  Civilized nations have laws.  Without laws approved by the majority of citizens, there is nothing but chaos and self-destruction.

Everyone knows that policemen sometimes abuse their power.  But it makes absolutely no sense to do something stupid like looting and burning your own community because bad shit happens.  If people respect the laws of the community and the rights of everyone in it, a lot less bad shit would happen.  Most important, citizens of a community must respect the police whenever they are confronted by an officer whether the officer deserves respect or not, perhaps for no other reason than they carry guns and can seriously fuck you up.  There are other ways to deal with people in authority who abuse their power.

Liberals in general and Obamacrats in particular will never admit that widespread racism no longer exists in America.  They can't.  It's the only platform they've got.  Just look at the voting results by race from the last election.  It is the only issue that clearly divides American voters in national elections.  White folks don't overwhelmingly vote for white candidates.  But every other ethnic group overwhelmingly votes against whites.  Liberals not only have to perpetuate the ghost of racism but continually work to bring it back to life in order to win elections and continue their dismantling of American principles, prosperity, and most irresponsibly, our national security.

But let's examine the incident in hand, the one the liberals were waiting for to scream racism.  Three facts are known in the case of Michael Brown on the day he was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri.  He committed a robbery, he was high on an illegal substance walking in the middle of a street, and he assaulted a police officer doing his job.  What could anyone possibly be protesting about?
