Slavery and racism are the two most abhorrent, and degrading
sins committed by humanity. While banned in modern society, slavery still
exists, and racism in many forms is still practiced by many. Recent events
triggered by the murder of George Floyd by a policeman in Minneapolis have
escalated to the point of a revolution around the world, but in the United
States it is culminating into a civil war.
For the past two months daily protests in the United States
and many cities around the world, have brought society to the realization that
racism still exists and that it is time that we address the harm done by
ignoring it. However, what is happening in the U.S. is a storm which has been
brewing for decades. The gains made by the Civil Rights movement under Martin
Luther King, have in many ways helped the black community, but in some cases it
has not benefitted the masses, and racism in law enforcement still exists in
many communities. We are not living in the sixties anymore, Americans elected
its first Black President twice, and Obama had the opportunity to make radical
changes under his ‘Hope and Change’ slogan, but he failed. The Democrats who
believed that they had the opportunity to create a dynasty chose Hillary
Clinton to replace Obama and hold its power base, but the election of Donald
Trump changed everything.
The turmoil we see today is the culmination of years of
planning by the left to change what America stands for. In the sixties and
seventies the radical left militant organization The Weather Underground (WUO)
goal was to overthrow what it viewed as American imperialism. In the seventies
the WUO conducted a bombing campaign targeting government buildings and several
banks. They obviously failed it their ultimate goal, but many of its followers
joined academia and created a base for the indoctrination of students in
universities and education in general. The result is that many Millennials and GenXers
are the product of this education revolution, which has produced, political
correctness, ‘cancel culture’ and a radical view of the freedom of speech,
which today seems to be only the right of the radical left. Oppose the left on
any of their views and it will result in banishment, expulsion, and
ostrazisation. Too often these positions of the left have been adopted and
practiced in the main stream media, thus fomenting a point of view that
supports what the WUO had failed to achieved decades ago.
There is no doubt that racism exits in many forms. In the
U.S it is mostly manifested in the treatment of blacks by law enforcement.
While the vast majority of the police force is not racist, there are many rogue
elements that still use their power to discriminate, and which recently saw the
murder of George Floyd. The inability to deal with these rogue officers has
created antagonism towards law enforcement to the point of giving rise to the
Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. While homicide accounts for the death of
7,500 young blacks each year, the debate now is whether black lives matter, or
does all lives matter? It is not popular to say that ‘All lives matter’, because it may be
interpreted as not supporting ‘Blacks’.
The rise of the BLM Inc. and the Antifa group is at the root
of the massive problems experienced in many Democrat run States and Cities.
Politicians have been coerced into supporting these groups for fear of not
being re-elected and thus support the
‘defunding’ of the police and in many cases deny that some peaceful protests
are not what they seem to be – rioters
and anarchists. Many peaceful protests turn into riots, arsons, and shootings
after dark. These demonstrations resulted in the takeover of many cities like Seattle,
Portland Minneapolis and even New York.
It seems that the mob has gained control of elected officials who have
become reluctant to safeguard their communities. What is not being discussed is
that hundreds of millions of dollars have been given to BLM Inc. by
corporations like Nike, Starbucks, Apple and even the NFL. Where is the money going?
It is certainly not helping blacks in poor cities around America governed by
Democrats. On the Board of BLM sits Susan Rosenberg a convicted terrorist
pardon by Bill Clinton. It is also alleged that much of the funds garnered by
BLM Inc. is funnelled to the DNC. Cities are burning, people, mostly
blacks, are being shot and killed every
weekend, and where is the outraged by BLM? Instead we see attacks on government
buildings, looting of small and large businesses and yet Democrats do nothing
but accuse the Trump administration of fomenting riots by sending troops to
guard federal buildings in these cities under siege. Trump on the other hand
should be very careful about sending troops into cities without being asked and
allowed to do so, because that would go against what James Madison stood for.
So far Democrat led cities have resisted asking for federal help. In an attempt
to further damage the re-opening of the country, while pediatricians ask for
the re-opening of schools. teachers’ unions are reluctant to do so, in fairness
there is an element of safety for teachers, but mostly in an attempt by the
left to damage the economy which has been Trump’s strong suit.
Despite his faults and tendency to exaggerate Trump has done
far more in three years to help the minorities than his predecessors. Before
the advent of Covid-19, his economy has seen massive gains in employment for
Blacks and Hispanics. As reported: “The
First Step Act, which Trump signed into law, expanded judges’ discretion to
ignore mandatory minimum sentences in some cases. The law also shortened some
mandatory minimum sentences, such as from life to 25 years or from 20 years to
15 years, for various offenses.”
Democrats who have been unable to accept the defeat of
Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump have tried for 3 years to undermine his
Presidency. They have conducted investigations and impeached him, on charges of
collusion with the Russians and abuse of power. They are now afraid that their
plans are going to be nullified as more information is coming out that the
attacks on Trump was a conspiracy by
some members of the FBI and perhaps even the former administration. The
Democrats have been mostly silent of the riots, and the name of George Floyd
has been very quietly set aside in the recent debates. The media always stating
that the demonstrations were ‘peaceful’ in nature cannot be true when there are
deaths associated with nightly protests after midnight.
How political is the race issue for Democrats? Remember that
the only elected black President Obama endorsed a ‘blackface’ Justin Trudeau
for Prime Minster of Canada? In what can be political manna from heaven to the
Democrats, the world was hit by a pandemic, and Covid-19 has changed everything
as the world economy went into recession. Members of Antifa who routinely wear
masks to foment riots and loot small and large stores, are now protected from
identification because of the Covid-19 ‘mask protocol’. Former VP Biden as the Democrats ‘ choice to challenge
Trump is a very hard task, as the candidate stays in a basement and continues
to make comments that are mostly incoherent and embraces the polices of the
radical left supported by Sen. Sanders, Warren, and the far left members of
Congress A. Ocasio-Cortez and Omar. Biden who has been in politics for four
decades has a track record of supporting white supremacists and has made racist
comments over the years. To use the race card could be difficult this time.
The Democrats’ hate
for Trump and a lust for power supersede any semblance of putting the country
first. The 2020 Presidential elections may not be a war with weapons, although
in the mainly Democrat run cities bullets have been flying for the past 55
days, it will certainly be a Civil War
of ideas.
Where does America want to go? Will the U.S embrace the
goals and tactics of the Weather Underground and move to the far left and
embrace socialism with Biden? The result will not only affect the United States
but the rest of the world as we enter a real Cold War with China. All empires
fall, but is the world ready for the United States to join the globalist
movement and relinquish sovereignty to a New World order run by a failed United
Nations. Be careful what you wish for, because it seems that the Democrats and
Biden are ready to do so.
