#BLM Gives License to Black People Acting Bad; Liberal Whites Excuse - Black & Blonde Media

Sorry but I won't wait for liberals to call out bad black behavior because they think so little of us and our lack of the knowledge of right and wrong. If that's racist, look in the mirror.

SN (Join to see) - That response is crap too. I've got over 150 columns in an ABA Top 100 publication, and I've covered bad behavior on all sides. When the police were justified in shooting a suspect, black, white or red, I've said so, as in the Tamir Rice and Alton Sterling cases. Both of them did things that caused the police to justifiably shoot them. In Rice's case, it was tragic, but that doesn't change the legal justification.

Second, when the cops are wrong, I've said that too, pointing out the prosecution of a sheriff's deputy in Bastrop County, Texas, and calling for prosecution of other officers when there is a question that needs to be addressed by the citizenry, in the form of a jury.

Third, I'm not a liberal, at least not as it is used in the modern sense. Is there a reason that you believe that someone who does not immediately agree with your position is a liberal? And that, without checking further, you somehow feel that it is appropriate to label someone that way? Are you aware that all of the Founding Fathers were liberals? The conservatives of that age were Tories. Another bunch of liberals were the Radical Republicans, who passed the Thirteenth Amendment. So while I'm a libertarian instead of a conservative or liberal, trying to tar someone with that label says more about you than the person you're labeling.

Fourth, if you think that I think so little of you and your "lack of the knowledge of right and wrong," that also addresses your insecurity, not my opinions about the black "race." I'm quite sure that blacks know the difference between right and wrong and that they always have.

Fifth, going back to the BS #BLM comments of the article, I'll point out that while blacks are killed at a disproportionate rate by police, American Indians are killed by police at an even higher rate for most male age groups. You don't see many of the #BLM types saying a word about red lives, and you don't see that being used by an excuse by the tribes or their members to, either. Belonging to a group is not an excuse to act stupid, whether that group is #BLM, or the opposing #BlueLivesMatter, and both sides gin up BS to support their position. That's called propaganda, not journalism.

The article is still racist crap. Not all of the problems should be blamed on a group of blacks, because it's not entirely their fault. Instead, each incident and case needs to be evaluated by its own set of facts and circumstances, and you address issues individually. To lump a bunch of people together, even as a sub-set of a larger group, is racist.

If we're going to engage in a size comparison, congrats on your 150+ columns in a publication. I've written over 14,000 posts including Breitbart and the Washington Times, was an invited guest on numerous talk radio programs nationally, appeared on CSPAN, CNN, Fox News, RT, Sun News and the BBC.

I've NEVER sided with the criminal over the police and called out law enforcement when they've made mistakes. As in all professions, there are people who should not be in the job they're in especially jobs when one can power trip with a gun.

The ROOT of many problems in the black community are lack of responsible fathers in the home. Too many of those who are out on the streets causing trouble and running afoul of the law might be alive today if a father taught their sons right from wrong and kept them at home like many of our fathers did. Liberals give many condescending excuses why blacks are in situations they never should have been in and the lack of respect to law enforcement is again a reflection of the lack of respect not taught by a strong male role model.

Not sure where the implication came that I was defending #BLM because we've run into them while on assignment and their behavior is an embarrassment that unfortunately gets us all lumped in by a media that assumes we all are in agreement.

Until you have to wear what I and millions of other black people wear every time we leave the home and how we're received based on the reckless actions of others, you are just an observer. I stand by my post.

SN (Join to see) - If you've never stated that the police have abused the rights of a criminal, then you are wrong on that issue, too. I wore a badge and a gun for over 20 years, and I can guarantee you that the police are not perfect. You side with the side that is in the right, and that's not always the police. That means that sometimes you side with someone who has a criminal record over a police officer who acted like a thug with a badge. Otherwise you're supporting the blue wall of silence and are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I don't disagree with your evaluation of fathers in the home, the LBJ war on poverty was the wrong approach, as are many of the social welfare programs that serve to split up families. I started my law enforcement career in the housing projects of a major city, I have seen exactly what the absence of strong male role models cause. That is a problem, but that doesn't negate the fact that there are issues on both sides that need to be corrected.

Your comment about being an observer is true, as to the problems of blacks. So what? You're an observer too, as to the problems of the American Indian, and likely a silent observer. My dad was born on the rez. My grandfather was taken from his home and sent to an Indian school hundreds of miles from home, and when he graduated, wasn't allowed to return home but was sent to work at another reservation, over a thousand miles from his home and family. I have cousins, still on the reservation, who would starve to death if treaty rights didn't allow them to hunt out-of-season. Most Indians are in poverty, with alcohol and substance abuse issues. You don't have a clue about their problems and haven't lived it, just as I'm not black and haven't lived that problem. So what? Do you think that makes me blind to their issues?

Everyone is an observer to some other group's issues. So what? That's not what matters, what matter is what you do with the issues, the positions you take. The position taken by the article was racist, denigrating a subgroup of blacks as the problem, and not looking at any other issues.
