After the runoff election of Adolph Hitler in 1933, voters danced in the streets to the tune of the Third Reich. Then political correctness suddenly ran ramped among the German population, its Democracy destroyed literally overnight. Jews who survived the Holocaust warned that once it started, "you wouldn't believe how fast it happened."

Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.— Thomas Sowell
The Problem
The recent rash of riots, plundering, and protests as alternative entertainment were triggered by two bad guys – the guy who was killed and the guy who killed him.
Both have a dirty history of breaking the rules and predatory behavior. Both are witnesses to the relentless consequence of karma. Neither will serve as a sustainable foundation for social advancement.
In today’s America, no chance to hate thy neighbor, magnify drama, embrace dogma, pander to special interests, or indulge anger goes unheeded.
That’s why pandemic-impaired Asheville now struggles with a deserted, graffitied, boarded up downtown, while our Mayor and council vigorously chastise APD over water bottle destruction.
Prediction? The current script of over-echoed soundbites, destruction of historical monuments, political correctness, and ‘woke” narcissism isn’t going to change anything for black-Americans.
Curious about what can be done? Be assured that equation does not contain rich white liberal politicians as a crucial ingredient.
Who's In Charge?
Millionaires like Nancy, Chuck, and Joe do not understand normal people – of any color. They live in a champagne bubble, not a beer bubble.
That’s why they’ll talk about shutting down private gun ownership and police departments, but insist on gunned-up personal security – endorse the concept of crime-ridden public housing, but live in gated communities – virtue signal on impending climate disaster, but drive and fly SUV’s and private jets – run a government that can’t fix itself, but insist we can trust it to run us – express love for public education, but send their kids to private schools.
Watching millionaire white public servants kneeling with a Kente scarf stands as the 21st century apex of pandering as a political art form.
BLM Is A Hollow Slogan
Last year, the nation’s entire police force killed nine unarmed black-Americans. On May 31st of this year, eighteen mostly unarmed black-Americans were murdered in Chicago. Per the WSJ, only three of last year’s 492 windy-city murders involved police officers.
Didn’t we just shut down our economy with the intention of stopping death by infection? In an anti-2nd Amendment city long dominated by Democrats; death by gunfire on May 31st killed more people than Covid-19.
What’s going on in liberal cities all over the country – including Asheville – is the equivalent of kicking a kid out of school for wearing a TRUMP T-shirt while ignoring the drug-thugs controlling most of that school’s feeder neighborhoods.
It’s about getting people to “look at the little birdy” while their blood is gushing out.
Reality Check
Between 1883 and 1941, a total of 3,265 black-Americans were lynched in America. That’s almost exactly the number of black-Americans who are murdered by other black-Americans each year.
If racism is the problem, why is it that the highest rates of black-on-black crime occur in Democrat-controlled cities? Why is it that in the seventies, NY police officers averaged shooting 300 people a year, but by 2019 dropped that figure to 34? Why is it that black-Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, but commit fifty-percent of the violent crime – usually against other black-Americans?
When racism was the problem, it was predominantly white-Americans who were doing the lynching. We stopped that horror. When are we going to get real on this one?
Honest Answers
White-guilt and white-privilege are contrived exercises in white-stupidity. White-Americans can’t fix this problem. Watch Seattle’s Antifa-led concentration camps for sterling example of white-Americans on ‘racial justice’ stupid pills.
Black-Americans are the answer to the problems of black-Americans. Malcom-X told everyone that shortly before another black-American murdered him too.
If we were blessed to have this gentleman and MLK with us today, both would say one has to go to the source to fix any problem.
What’s the source? It’s got everything to do with destruction of the black American family, a white-American funded drug culture, tired old dead-end scripts of entitlement, dependency, victimization and anger, and schools that attempt to do everything for black-American children but teach them.
Solutions are found in addressing the dysfunction found in most public housing developments, recognizing the harmful impacts of horrific abortion rates directed at black-American children, reversing unfettered illegal immigration that allows us to discard young black-Americans, and energizing black-American leaders with the courage to stop pretending the Democrat Party is sincere to anything but power.
It comes down to this. There are four things commanding the course of black-Americans – color, choices, character, and convictions.
None of us has control over skin color. It is in the choices we make, the character we build, and the convictions we uphold upon which a future of hope or despair rests.
Rich white liberal politicians have absolutely no part to play.
