I agree with you. This is completely new in the history of America, to this degree.
While we certainly cannot dismiss white-on-black crime as a thing of the past, I believe that kind of violent crime was diminishing until this president, and his cohorts (the Sharptons, Jacksons, Wrights, etc. among us) began fanning the flames of racism in this country.
Black-on-white violent crime is rising at an alarming rate. I believe it has much to do with the 'progressive' political agenda, the progressives' desire to keep/make blacks dependent on government for their very existence, and their penchant to play the victim card (as they did to the hilt in the Martin/Zimmerman case). Just look at what has happened in so many urban areas over the last few decades.
The progressives despise the nuclear (father/mother/children) family, because it represents independence, the setting of moral examples, and little need for government. They have instead fostered dependence, the viewing of children as wards of the state, and the downgrading of the role of fathers in the American family.
The result is, in many cases, conscienceless youth who have no sense of 'belonging', no sense of roots, and no parental role models. (From what I have read in the case of the murder of the Australian baseball player, the thugs who shot him virtually raised themselves, and their 'mentors' were gang members and violent video games).
My husband and I attended a local Republican Committee dinner back in the mid-nineties at which Alan Keyes was the featured speaker. He spoke for over an hour, and you could hear a pin drop during that hour. His basic premise was that virtually every ill that plagues America on the domestic front can be traced back to the disintegration of the nuclear family, and that progressives are encouraging that sad deterioration, because the weaker the family the more power in the hands of the centralized government.
And these are the people who claim to care for 'the children'. What they care for is power, and they leave terrible personal tragedies in their quest to obtain it. This administration has that power quest at its core, and our society is reflecting the carnage. As long as Washington, D.C. continues to operate as it has for the last five years, I am afraid the race-based violence has only begun. |
