There is a sickness among us as
Americans, as people. This sickness has many symptoms. Some would
choose to only blame one of these symptoms for causing the sickness,
while those fortunate enough to not have their minds laced with the
toxins spewed forth by the viruses which walk and reign among us can
perceive the plethora of causes of this sickness.
We are dying.
Little more than a corpse, we cling to
this world by means of life support; people we do not trust hold our
hands to guide us down the paths they choose for us, leaving us
blindfolded as they kiss us on the cheek and whisper that which we
want to hear to lure us into bed. We eat from their mouths, dining on
the regurgitation of thieves, liars, and criminals, until our bellies
are fat and full with the misdirection of they who look down upon us
as gods.
America has erupted with cries of
'racism' and 'police brutality,' and the so-called victims
of this oppression have
reacted by rioting. These riots—not protests—are an uprising, one
which will leave a trail of crumbs for the nation to follow until we
have reached the point of Civil War II, should it be allowed to continue. In recent years, public
awareness of incidents of police brutality has increased
dramatically. Truth be told, it is nothing short of sickening to
witness those sworn to protect us with their lives unleash the level
of violence that has been caught on camera numerous times, or that
which has been witnessed by crowds of people. In these circumstances,
the officers getting off the hook with a slap on the wrist and paid
vacation time is worse than the violent acts they have committed, for
it means we merely turn away when life demands we stand strong,
vigilant. Yes,
regardless of the hatred some have developed for the police, we all
share blame in causing and allowing that which we are now weary of.
There do exist those who protest these acts of violence. They are not afraid
to look in the eyes of tyranny and smack it across the face. If only
more would have the courage to do so, perhaps we would be more than
mere marionettes of calamities and agendas. The peaceful protesters,
taking a stand lawfully, they have my respect. They are honorable.
Their voices are being heard and people are waking up.
However, where there is good, corruption is not far behind, oftentimes
overwhelming and overshadowing the faint voice coming from the light.
These people sow seeds of discord where harmony is sought, and the
song being played is one composed of dissonance, detached from a
melody which seeks true resolution, rather than further divide. These
people sing songs of destruction. They are the rioters, the looters,
the criminals. These
people are the corruption
they claim to stand against, the racism
they claim to abhor, the injustice
they wish to see corrected. They are symptoms of an ever-growing
sickness, yet they, too, are among the countless infected by a
virus—the collective patient zero of an epidemic of liberalism and
ignorance.
On
April 12, 2015, Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man from Baltimore, was
arrested and assaulted while in police custody. Due to a
severed spine, Gray was taken to the hospital, where he died on April
19th.
His death, attributed to how he was handled by the police,
sparked protests and riots, which have led to multiple police
injuries, the destruction of property, looting, civilian injuries,
and more. These riots began before any solid information was presented to us. All that existed at the time was speculation and little more. But regardless of the information presented, these riots are unacceptable. This is criminal behavior and should be treated as such. Every man and woman who damaged another's property, assaulted someone, or threatened someone, should be charged with a crime, regardless of their reasons.
You
might remember (unless you were living in a casket at the time) the
similar riots which occurred in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, in
response to the death of Michael Brown at the hands of then-officer
Darrel Wilson. These two riots have much in common, not the least of
which is a racial similarity: Michael Brown and Freddie Gray were
both black men. Both men also died at the hands of white police
officers. And just as with the riots in Baltimore, the riots in Ferguson were equally wrong. Even still, few batted an eye, and few spoke a word against it.
During the
investigation of Michael Brown's death, I noted on social media
numerous times the conflicting stories given by “witnesses,” as
well as the unlikelihood of officer Wilson shooting an 18-year-old
for no reason except skin color, which was the story the liberal
media wanted us to swallow. And, despite the efforts of race-baiters
like Al Sharpton and Attorney General Eric Holder, Darrel Wilson's
innocence was proved. The Ferguson riots were an emotional response
to the death of someone in their community, with no regard for facts
or details pertaining to what led to Brown's death, only that a white
officer killed a black, unarmed 'teen' (18-year-olds are not teens,
no matter how much the media tries to use the term in their efforts
to demonize the police), and therefore, racism. Baltimore's riots have show little difference.
But
what if the roles were reversed? What if a large group of whites took
to the streets and began committing acts of arson, assaulting
people—blacks—with sometimes flaming
objects (really, Baltimore, a burning trash can?), robbing from
businesses, etc., because of the death of a white man at the hands of
a black officer? Because of the death of Michael Brown, the slogan 'Black Lives Matter' has caught fire among blacks across the nation, used in the protest of any black man or woman's death at the hands of an officer. What if white protesters and rioters held signs reading “White
Lives Matter”? The answer is simple: we'd be label racists. This is
why things like Black Entertainment Television is allowed to exist while White
Entertainment Television does not. Or why a National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) exists while a National
Association for the Advancement of White People does not. Why is
there no outrage when black teens commit hate crimes against whites in St. Louis?
Or when black officer Trevis Austin shot unarmed, white college student Gil Collar? Why don't white lives matter? Why can't white lives matter?
This
fear of being labeled racist leads to the real racists
getting away with crimes. It is disgusting for it to be looked down
on when a white person does anything except stand 100% behind a black
person, yet blacks are allowed to destroy cities to 'protest' their
supposed oppression by
the white man. And perhaps even more disgusting is that we allow these things to happen.
Black
lives matter? That must be why, in a nation in which blacks make up a
mere 13% of the population, nearly 40% of all
abortions in America are undergone by blacks. If black lives matter
so much, why is the most dangerous place on Earth for a black child
the womb of their own mother? How sad is it for abortion to kill more blacks than the seven leading causes of death?
But
let's not stop there. Young black males (aged 15-34), specifically,
have a high rate of death by murder in America. The ones responsible?
Not cops. Other blacks.
Now, I'm not very old, nor have I spent my entire life being kept
informed of black protests, but when do you think a group of blacks
protested the deaths of blacks at the hands of other blacks, whilst
holding signs reading 'Black Lives Matter'?
You
see, black lives matter when someone else, specifically whites, take
the lives of blacks. Why? Because the real racists are the
ones crying 'racism.' Why don't
people such as Al Sharpton, who claims to care about black lives,
turn his campaigns in the direction of black-on-black violence? Why
aren't Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and so many more,
addressing these
issues with the public, instead of focusing solely on the cases in
which a non-black kills a black?
There
is nothing to gain from it, that's why.
To
these black leaders,
blacks are merely pawns in a sick game. It's all about the support,
votes, and funds. People are best kept in check when oppressed,
rather than free; control the people, control the opinion. These liars and murderers blacks look up to, they
don't care about the well-being of blacks. If they did, there would
be actual change for
them in America. Instead, all they care about is giving blacks
someone to point their fingers at and blame, taking no responsibility
for themselves, and even feeling entitled to that which they did not
earn. Then, as a result, these black leaders are viewed as heroes among those they claim to defend.
Here
is the reality check: These men, these people whom, it is claimed,
understand black oppression and racism in America, they
are the racists keeping blacks oppressed and in check; they are
exactly where they want them to be, which is comfortably pointing
blame at those who are not responsible for where they are in life.
These leaders can preach their claims of how they relate to and understand these conditions of living, but it is only because they played their part
in creating them.
Barack
Obama shared his sympathies with the families of Trayvon Martin and
Michael Brown. Even Trayvon's family spent time in the White House
after his death. This is how you know who the real racists are. This
is how you know just how used blacks are by black leaders, because if
race weren't an issue, if it generally did not matter to our leaders,
Gil Collar's family would have been given a trip to the White House
and shown Barack Obama's support against such violent behavior.
Instead, because Gil Collar and so many like him were white, their
deaths were swept under a rug and forgotten, while the lives of deceased black thugs and criminals are praised.
You
want change, America? It is time to stop letting these failed leaders
tell us what's happening in this country and open our own eyes to the
truth. It is time to stand against these agendas and stand behind
what is just and good. It is time to stop letting criminals and thugs
get away with crime because of the color of their skin. It is time to
rebuke those who stand above the law while swearing to defend it, and reserving such judgment for those who are deserving, not
demonizing every person wearing a badge. No longer can we tip-toe
around the sensitive issues, because when we do, we lose our voices.
It is time we stand strong. It is time we persevere.
It is
time we become vigilant.
