Part of the problem and it's a big one are those politicians and other self-serving individuals and organizations who are masters of deception, choosing certain words to incite while deliberately ignoring others, thus sending mixed messages to those who are desperately waiting to hear that their sacrifices and efforts in protecting others are rewarded, that some remorse for their fallen is shown, that words of comfort and hope and support for the heroic effort they put forth in the face of overwhelming odds.
But, alas, once again, they hear just the opposite.
Do you see a pattern here?
Instead, we hear words by the President of the United States specifically directed at the protesters, words that may exploit their already angry attitudes, thereby fueling more hostility, and the President and Atty. General embellish their grievances, fueling their rage and hate, all by coyly laying the blame for the atrocity committed to five police officers and seven wounded, squarely at the feet of law enforcement.
I am sorry for the loss of the twenty-five year old who went out and brutally murdered these five men and lost his life in the process.
We do not need to lose any more lives.
But here and now is the time to ask a very important question.
If we have a President and others who go out of their way to constantly criticize and lambaste law enforcement and blame the White community for the plight of the Black community, who constantly defend and elevate criminals who were caught lying and, as a result, turn the anger of the Black community into more violence, violence unleashed on entire communities and many innocent people, who constantly keep the Black Community in a state of turmoil, riled up, and instruct them it's okay to go out and riot some more, because you are 'owed' something or it's somebody's else's fault, exactly what do you think will happen?
Exactly what we are witnessing now.
Is it fair to ask that this type of rhetoric will fuel more protests across the country?
Is it fair to ask that this type of rhetoric will fuel more deaths across the country?
The President of the United States and the Atty General had the nerve to address the American people, their comments unashamedly more concerned with the protesters and Black Lives Matter then the men and women who went out and did their job and lost their lives in the service of protecting the protesters.
This is totally beyond the pale but this isn't anything new, under this administration.
This is totally unacceptable but when has this ever stopped Barack Obama?
I'd say we have a problem in this country and it doesn't have to do with law enforcement, nor law abiding citizens of any color.
It has to do with you.
We have a problem here in this country.
Because of government's lack of concern for dysfunctional Black families with no fathers, children growing up with free access to dangerous drugs and dangerous gangs, children who grow up with a healthy lack of respect for any authority figure whom they have been taught to hate and distrust, even though they are there to serve and protect.
This government, under Obama, is more interested in fanning the flames of derision, fanning the flames of division, and instigating anarchy, then speaking to the real problems that are happening to Black families trapped in these poor communities.
Obama along with his cohorts will not even address the abysmal crime rate that is taking more and more Black lives.
I guess that doesn't matter.
These politicians could give a rat's ass about the poverty, the deplorable conditions that many Black families are being forced to raise families under, the rampant drug use, violent gangs and children with no hope and nowhere to go and no one to look up to.
When groups of people are unwilling to assimilate into the fabric of a country because of something that happened in their past they just can't seem to get over, are constantly indoctrinated with lies, are taught to express open hostility toward those who have made a success of their lives, continually let others tell them how to think and how to act and plied with goodies in order to keep pandering to a truckload of other assorted excuses, what is the outcome?
Exactly what we're seeing now.
How can we expect people to get along with one another, to learn about one another, learn to live with one another if they are taught that White people are the enemy, that law enforcement is not to be trusted and that others are to blame?
Because this is the message that the President of the United States keeps spewing.
We lost five honorable and brave men on July 7.
They lost their lives defending and protecting the very same protesters who were protesting against them.
At the same time we had a president who was in Great Britain chumming it up with Britain's David Cameron, wearing a big smile on his face.
We have a problem in this country.
The problem is you, Mr. President.
