Letter: On to Charlotte N.C.; Black Lives Matter, Obama, and the race industry

ByLetter to the Editor Reading Time: 4 minutes

It is onto Charlotte and beyond for the ever burgeoning race industry lead by President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats.  They are joined by their associates in the media, the academy, the “civil rights” caucus, and Black Lives Matter, the racist group that promotes cop killing.

Indeed, the race business in America is thriving. Under our first black President, it has expanded.  Limited before to the inner cities, it has now gone national. Race players on parade everywhere, in our streets, across our TV screens, into every nook and cranny of American life.

Keith Scott, a 43-year-old black man with a long rap sheet, is the newest martyr of the Democrats, the government-run media, and Black Lives Matter.  He had been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in three states including against a woman and a child, and spent seven years in prison.  Scott exited his car in Charlotte with a handgun.  He was warned by police to put down his weapon.  Deemed a threat, he was shot and killed by Brentley Vinson, a black officer.  The firearm was collected.  It was loaded and had his fingerprints.  There is no racism here.

Black Lives Matter, Obama, and the left argue that police shootings of unarmed blacks reflect police bias. They compare the number of blacks killed by police to their number in the population rather than their share of the criminal offender pool.  But a 2011 study of California and New York arrest data showed that blacks commit homicide at 11 times the rate of whites.  In 75 of the largest counties in 2009, blacks were 62 percent of robbery defendants, 61% of weapons offenders, 57% of murder defendants, 50% of forgery defendants, but only 13% of population.  (Heather MacDonald)  The data shows that policing, prosecution, and incarceration accurately reflect crime rates not bias.

There is no “systemic” racism in our law enforcement and criminal justice systems.  It is a lie promoted by Democrats to support their destructive ideology and to gain political advantage.  Many if not most of our inner cities have majority or near majority black police officers, black police commissioners, black city councils, and black mayors, all liberal Democrats.  Baltimore, the scene of riots by Black Lives Matter and others over the death of Freddie Gray, has a black mayor, a black police commissioner, and 9 out of 15 black members on its City Council. Its juries, judges, and attorneys are liberal Democrats many if not most black.  Baltimore voted 87% for Obama in 2012.  Is this liberal Democrat stronghold the source for genocidal racist police tactics?

The problem in the black community is not racist cops.  It is black criminality.  Every week blacks, many of them innocent and law abiding, are being slaughtered, robbed, raped, and assaulted by black predator criminals.  America’s largest cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, and Milwaukee, are experiencing spikes in murder rates.  Chicago saw its bloodiest month in two decades last August with 90 murders, 384 shootings and 472 total shooting victims. The overwhelming majority of victims are black, yet left wing Democrats want to rail about non-existent racist cops.  But law-abiding blacks want to live in safe neighborhoods, not crime-ridden hellholes.

Why is there so much discussion on alleged racial bias where none exists? To avoid the important question of why there is so much black crime.  Black criminality is the result of the anti-black liberal policies of the last sixty years foisted on black communities by Democrats who control the cities where most blacks live.  It is Democrats who bear responsibility for the disintegration of the black community, the breakdown of the two-parent family, the unemployment, poverty, educational failure, and high crime and incarceration rates that afflict blacks.  If a fraction of the attention given to rooting out fictional police bias had been spent denouncing black crime while restoring the two-parent family, we may have broken the link between black communities and the heavy police presence they now require.

It is the creation of a black underclass through anti-black Democrat policies that have damaged the black community, not “racist” police.  It is the inculcation of underclass values that have devastated blacks, not “systemic racism.”  It is the anti-black narrative promulgated by white liberals and the Democrat Party, their insufferable and debilitating message of black failure and victimhood, black grievance and dependency, of “structural” racism and black inadequacy that has broken the black community.

Keith Scott was a violent criminal thug who died as he lived.   Like Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and so many other “martyrs” of the Democrats, the media, and Black Lives Matter.  Obama, Hillary, and the race industry want more Keith Scotts.  They thrive on chaos and turmoil, and its victims do not matter.  But we demand something better.

  1. Dodi,

    “WOW” is right. Have you noticed how Donald Trump makes crypto-racists like Mr. Moss and Mr.Lewinski feel comfortable with their own prejudices? Do you think they understand that their Alt-Right comrades STILL call African-Americans “niggers” to this day? This self pitying crowd has nothing to offer except their imagined victimhood. The Civil Rights Act of ’64? The Voting Rights of ’65? These troglodytes would repeal both of them.

    1. Scott And Johnson could not do it with the Democrats. He had to rely upon the party of Lincoln to pass the legislation.

    2. Scott, you are so very right! I am amazed at Lewinski and Dr. Moss. Will never get those two to accept reality.

  2. C’mon guys – we all know it’s those evil guns – esp those AK47s and other mean assault weapons with the big clips – that are really responsible. And of course don’t forget that bad-boy ammunition that actually expands on contact – can you imagine?!

    1. Mrs. Green, what is your acceptable level of gun violence? 5,000, 10,000, maybe more? I don’t think more gun laws will help, but I guess you find trying to stop violence a laughing matter. I actually feel pity for you.

  3. Dr. Moss, you are a sad little man. If you don’t get the fact that there is implicit bias in our police force, you are more ignorant than I imagined. The uprisings of blacks against police is not just from the few shootings of black men, but the years of racial profiling and the treatment by law enforcement. If President Obama has done anything, it is that he has shown that blacks don’t have to feel like second class citizens anymore. When you were a kid, a black man couldn’t use the same water fountain as a white man! I am sure Dr. Moss that you were not affected by the “1934–1968: FHA Mortgage Insurance Requirements Utilize Redlining” which, through an overt practice of denying mortgages based upon race and ethnicity, the FHA played a significant role in the legalization and institutionalization of racism and segregation. When all of the whites were moving out of the cities and prospering in the suburbs, the blacks were being denied mortgages based on their race. How long ago do you think these thing were happening? I wish people like you could walk a mile in the shoes of a black man. Maybe, just maybe, you wouldn’t be so blind. You know, I thought we were done hearing from you after your miserable loss at the congressional primary, but here you are once again spewing hate. If I remember correctly, you were the one pushing ‘traditional’ marriage as part of your campaign. I had to laugh. If you were so big on traditional marriage, I was trying to figure out which tradition you were mad about. Was it same sex marriage that got you? Didn’t you marry outside of your race? Until the Loving vs Virginia case, weren’t there miscegenation laws that would have prevented you from marrying an Asian? That was not a ‘traditional’ thing to do. You are just such a hypocrite that it makes me nauseated. You are just what Hillary was talking about, deplorable and irredeemable.

    1. Jamie, Keep it up, you are correct. I listened to President Obama and the First Lady today and they were totally awesome. Just proved how wrong Trump is and why Hillary will win this election.

  5. LBJ–Wasn’t he WARNED the Great Society
    Would DESTROY the POOR Families?
    –LOOK where We are Today!
    Dems–Didn’t they FIGHT Against Civil Rights?!

    Guns–Do you ANTI-GUN people have any?
    1945–Jap. Admiral–WHY didn’t you Attack US.
    –Because a GUN behind EVERY Bush!
    198_–LA Cops w/38’s vs Robbersw/ AK47’s.
    20__–TX Mom DEFENDS CHILD against B&E.
    –Do you want Dead Cops or DEAD Criminals?
    —Have you Ever NEEDED a Cop?
    —–They can NOT RESPOND if they’re DEAD!
    –DO YOU want to be UNARMED or Defend Self?

  6. Whew! Unbelievable. That was the most hateful and racist rant I’ve ever read – and I’m not referring to the Moss letter. Mr. Moss you’ve done a public service in exposing and rooting out the worst examples of real hate in our society as represented by Eckert and cohort’s spewing of the true hate driving this nation to destruction.

    1. Mrs. Green, you really need a history lesson. The only hateful and racist rant is from Dr. Moss and Lewinski. I have read many comments from Lewinski and Dr. Moss and all are very hateful and racist. Just look at the facts from both of them.

  7. Even under LBJ, it was the majority of Democrats not only opposing the Act, but going so far as to filibuster the Act from having a chance for a vote. In actuality, one should thank the Republicans at the time for ending the filibuster by a rare vote for cloture.

    The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent of the Democrats (153 yes, 91 no), but 80 percent of the Republicans (136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

    Fun Fact: John F. Kennedy voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

    Historically, if one is to assign a political party the Racist Award, it is factually uncontestable, the Democratic Party wins.
