Why I Carry a Gun

There are individuals in our nation who don’t like guns.  Unfortunately for law-abiding gun owners, these folks aren’t content to simply keep their opinion to themselves.  They are either honestly mistaken about the reasons for their opposition to gun ownership or they are outright lying about their motives.  The real reason the anti-gun group is opposed to firearm ownership is one that most of them aren’t even aware of or are aware of and won’t admit to.  The truth is that their subconscious or conscious-but-unadmitted-to reason for being opposed to guns is a liberal, utopian fantasy-the stuff of artistic “dreamers”-and nothing more.   There are legitimate reasons to own and carry a gun.

When anti-gun people are in proximity to someone who happens to be carrying a gun, they oftentimes become either offended or frightened and will state their objection to the fact that they had to be near one.  Occasionally they will ask,  “Why do you think you need a gun?”  Sometimes after the person carrying the gun has left the area, they will comment to others about the fact that said person happened to be armed.  There have been incidents when a person opposed to guns saw an armed individual inside a business he or she was at and went to the manager or owner demanding that guns not be allowed on the premises or else they would take their money elsewhere.  Yes, these folks cause their own blood pressure to go up over having seen a firearm.

If asked why it is that they are opposed to the existence of guns, they will tell you that guns are unnecessary and cause unjustified loss of life.  They will point to deaths-due-to-firearms-each-year statistics (which usually runs about 30,000 per year) to prove their point.  They will say they never felt the need to carry a gun, which in their mind means no one else really needs a gun either.  They may state that the very existence of firearms creates negative energy and actually causes more violence in the world.

Anti-gun people don’t really care about saving human life as they state when arguing against gun ownership and the right to carry a gun.  If they really did care about human life then they would have been on board with the attempt to outlaw late-term, third-trimester, partial-birth abortions.  There are approximately eleven thousand such abortions performed each year, and the reality is that there is no medically-necessary reason for an abortion that late in the pregnancy.  Sure, the argument has been made that these procedures are necessary in rare instances when the mother’s life or “mental health” (that could mean anything) is in danger; but in these rare instances abortion is still not necessary to resolve the physical or mental issue at hand.  All that needs to be done in such cases is to induce labor and take the baby early.

Also, there are eighty thousand alcohol-related deaths each year.  Where is the demand on the part of the anti-gun folks to restrict or ban the production, sale, and ownership of alcohol?  When is the last time there was ever a movement to require background checks for the purchase of Jack Daniels?  One would think that a group of people so devoted to preserving human life like the anti-gun group claims to be would be outraged over eighty thousand unnecessary deaths from a substance that is itself unnecessary.  That is not the case though.

No, concern for human life is not the reason the pro-gun control group wants to see the extermination of firearms from the face of the earth.  There are actually two reasons why the progressive left is opposed to ownership of firearms by individual citizens.  The first reason has to do with control; the second is a matter of world-view ideology.

Far, far left progressive extremists-young, no-nothing, crap-for-brains anarchists types and no-borders, open society Marxists (probably both)-though they will never admit it, in the name of fairness, seek total government control over every aspect of society.  They believe the only way for their to be fairness in the world is if government has total control over individuals and individuals exist to serve the greater good-the collective.  These people know that history has proven time after time that individuals never go along with this ideology unless forced to.  It is, therefore, necessary for the state to be in the position of being able to force collectivism upon the masses.  If individual citizens have firearms, this is not possible because they will resist and fight back; and the state will be denied control.  This means that the only group that should have guns is the military.  As stated, extremist, collectivist, Marxist types will never admit to this; but it is the way they think; and it is a reason they dislike the fact that citizens are allowed to own firearms.

The second far-less-extreme reason the let’s-get-rid-of-guns group is opposed to weapons has to do the fact that the existence of firearms is an insult to their naive belief in the goodness of humanity.  Progressive liberals believe the world should be just as John Lennon described it in his song Imagine.  They believe the world should be a place where everyone loves everyone else and works for the good of all of humanity, a place where we have dispensed with this silly nonsense of religion, a place where we all live together as one, a place where violence is no more because people have become enlightened and have seen the errors of their history.  Liberals believe this is actually possible because people are basically good; and if the masses were just a little more enlightened as they are, this John Lennon view of the world could actually become a reality.  This is their hope and goal.

Perhaps the world should be more like Lennon’s song.  The reality is that it is not.  The reality is that the world has never been, is not now, and will never be the way John Lennon imagined it should be.

The reason the world will never comport to the progressive idea is because people are not basically good.  People are on a core, base level pure consciousness.  This consciousness is neither good nor bad; it is simply awareness.  The problem is that along with the pure consciousness aspect of our mind (the superego), we have this thing that is also in our mind called the ego.  The ego is all about executing the drives of the id, which means it is all about survival of the individual, which means it is self-centered, which means that most people care primarily about themselves and their immediate, close community which is an extension of themselves.

The ego also motivates people to do things that are detrimental to others for the purpose of advancing the self and the individual sense of existential value.  This is the core reason people assault, rape, kidnap, torture, steal, and impose their religion and religious tenets (Islam) on others by force.  This means people are not basically good.  For the most part people go along with the instructions their ego gives them and sometimes do a lot of bad things.

The existence of firearms is a wake up call to this reality, a stark reminder that people are not good and do not value the greater good of the entire world population.  The existence of firearms, militaries, and police forces are undeniable proof that people are not basically good.

Liberals do not like to be reminded of this and forced to see humanity as it really is.  They become greatly offended and angry when forced to see that their Kumbaya, utopian fantasy about the goodness of people is nothing more than a silly fairy tale.  They, therefore, seek to remove all reminders of the reality of humanity, which is a reason they don’t like guns.  Again, they will never admit to this as they will never admit that they seek total government control of the masses.

Here are some examples of how the ego manifests the drives of the id in ways that are detrimental to others (all of these incidents occurred in Knoxville, TN):

  • In November of 2016 in the Home Federal Bank parking lot on Merchant Road a man was assaulted with an aluminum baseball bat and robbed.  He got out of his vehicle carrying a bank bag, which was a clear sign to the thieves that he had a substantial amount of cash.  This deemed him a worthy target.
  • In January of 2017 a carjacking occurred in the Walmart parking lot on Clinton Highway.
  • Sometime in 2014 in the same Walmart parking lot an elderly lady had finished her shopping and was walking to her car when she was approached by two young men in a small white Toyota truck.  They told her how they were down on their luck and asked if she could help them out with some cash.  When she declined, they assaulted her and stole her purse.
  • Way back in the early 1990’s a man pulled off the road on which he was driving due to the fact that his vehicle began overheating.  A few minutes later two men pulled in behind him pretending to offer assistance.  They assaulted him with a baseball bat and robbed him.
  • In January of 2007 Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were kidnapped, tortured, and raped over a three day period and finally murdered.

These few incidents listed are just that – a few.  These kind of actions on the part of people who have no respect for others go on all the time.  Crimes of this nature occur because people act on the impulses and motivations of the ego for the self-centered reason of increasing their own sense of existential value.  This is part of what is known as “human nature”, and it therefore means that people are not basically good, contrary to what the progressive left would have us believe.  Behavior of this type is the reason many people carry a gun.

The liberal left might argue that violent crime, in the great scheme of things, doesn’t happen all that often and is restricted to a few isolated incidents here and there.  That would be a naive argument based on ignorance and a desire not to see the world as it is.  If crimes of the type listed above happen only once a year in the entire nation, that is one too many occurrences and is more than enough justification for citizens to own and carry firearms.

Liberalism and Gun Control

Gun Control ProtestersIn light of the fact that the “progressive” left is constantly demanding more and more gun control laws, it is necessary to bring to light a few points that the anti-gun folks don’t want to hear.

First of all, when liberals claim that there is a need for “common sense gun control legislation” what they really mean is that they would like to repeal the Second Amendment; pass laws which prohibit the production, sale, possession, and ownership of all firearms; and confiscate firearms not only from criminals but from law-abiding citizens as well via a mandatory buyback/confiscation. Gun owners have known this for a very long time. Anti-gun liberals have known it too but only recently have they become bold enough to actually come out and admit it. Barrack Obama once stated that if the United States would pass gun control laws like Australia, we wouldn’t have these mass shootings. The gun law to which Obama was referring is a mandatory buy back of guns from law-abiding citizens. After Australia’s law went into effect, those who refused “sell” their guns to the government simply had their firearms confiscated. Hillary Clinton, when asked recently about Australia’s mandatory buy back, stated that it would be worth looking into. A letter published by the Knoxville News-Sentinel last week claimed the Second Amendment was no longer necessary and that it should be repealed. Confiscation – this is what the “progressive” left really wants.

Secondly, anti-gun folks justify their opposition to firearms by lamenting the unnecessary loss of life caused by mass shootings as if somehow liberals have some sort of special respect for the sanctity of human life that the rest of us don’t have. Hillary Clinton, during a Democratic presidential debate expressed her outrage over the unnecessary loss of life by telling us how ninety people each day die due to gun violence.

Here are the facts: According to the Center for Disease Control, cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including nearly 42,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. That comes to 1,315 deaths per day. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports that nearly 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making it the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. In 2013, alcohol-impaired driving fatalities accounted for 10,076 deaths (30.8 percent of overall driving fatalities). Alcohol causes 241 deaths per day. Firearm-related deaths account for approximately 34,000 deaths per year. About sixty percent of those deaths are suicides. Hillary was right: gun deaths do run about 90 per day (93 actually).

Since cigarettes and alcohol are totally unnecessary and since these two substances cause way more loss of life than do firearms, one would think the anti-gun left, which is supposedly so concerned about safety and the pointless, unjustified loss of life from gun violence would be even more outraged over all these alcohol and tobacco deaths. That doesn’t seem to be the case.

So where are the demands for background checks for alcohol and tobacco? Why do we not hear demands for common sense alcohol and tobacco legislation? They might argue that users of tobacco and alcohol cause their own suffering when they choose to use these poisons, and that this is the reason why there hasn’t been a major push to outlaw them. Tell that to the families of the 42,000 annual victims of second-hand smoke and the families of the 10,000 people who are killed each year because of alcohol-impaired driving

Also, if liberals are so concerned about preserving human life, why have they not joined the fight to outlaw the practice of third-trimester, late term abortion which, according to the Congressional Budget Office, accounts for about 11,000 lost lives each year and is nothing short of baby murder? The reality is that they have fought tooth and nail to make sure that this barbaric slaughter of babies remains legal.

In the October 29 Oped section of the News-Sentinel columnist Jonathan Zimmerman stated that liberal opposition to firearms is not about safety and preserving life at all. Zimmerman believes their opposition is more about defending and promoting an ideology. He is correct on both points. Progressive selective outrage on this issue compared to other life-threatening issues proves his point. Zimmerman, however, does not elaborate on what he means by the word “ideology.” So, if saving lives is not the motivation behind the left’s attempts to rid this nation of guns, then what exactly is their motivation? What is their ideology to which Zimmerman referred?

Liberals believe the world is supposed to be like John Lennon described it in his song “Imagine.” It offends them greatly that it is not. They want a religion-free, national-borders-free, Socialist utopia in which no one is allowed to own anything (presumably the collective “state” would have control of all possessions) and we all submit to the philosophy of a peaceful brotherhood of man which requires a sharing of all resources.

There are three obstacles to this liberal dream: the existence of the human ego which will always be with us, the refusal on the part of individuals to simply exist as a pawn of the state for the betterment of the collective, and the existence of uncivilized, Middle-Eastern savages who are intent on killing those who refuse to accept their way of life – the infidels. The world has never been, is not now, and will never be the way John Lennon imagined it should be. That is simply reality whether the self-described “progressives” want to hear it or not. The Lennonian utopia is a silly myth concocted by a naive dreamer who incorrectly believed that humans are essentially good.

The existence of firearms, police forces, and militaries is a slap in the face to those who subscribe to this nonsense and refuse to accept reality. So on they fight, trying their best to remove any reminders that the conservative view of the world is reality – despite their wishes and best efforts to make it otherwise.

Removing firearms from a society will not change human nature and make people essentially good.

The Human Double Standard

Two-Faced AnimeIn a 1997 humanistic psychology class at the university I attended, the professor leading the class began discussing the subject of the double standard we humans apply to our favorite attachments for the purpose of defending said attachments, which in turn, is a method of defending our own status.  As an example of this behavior, the professor told a story of an experiment involving two women’s studies classes which went like this:

Several years ago, an experiment was conducted using two different women’s studies classes held at different times.  The first class was told the following story:

A man went to his wife and said, “Honey, I would like to start performing anal sex on you.  I’ve seen it done in porn videos, and it looks like something I think we both might enjoy doing.”  His wife responded, “Are you crazy?  That is the most disgusting, filthy, crazy idea you’ve ever come up with.  The answer is no.  Absolutely not.”

The discussion soon turned into a heated argument with both parties angry at each other for two days.

The second class was told a somewhat different story:

A woman went to her husband and said, “Honey, I would like for you to start performing anal sex on me.  I’ve seen it done in porn videos, and it looks like something I think we both might enjoy doing.”  Her husband responded, “Are you crazy?  That is the most disgusting, filthy, crazy idea you’ve ever come up with.  The answer is no.  Absolutely not.”

The discussion soon turned into a heated argument with both parties angry at each other for two days.

At the end of each story, each class was asked who caused the argument, that is, who was at fault – the husband or the wife.  Both classes unanimously agreed that the man was at fault in both cases.

 People are funny.  Consistency is an awkward, disposable inconvenience that we thoughtlessly cast aside when it comes to protecting our individual or group status.

Starbucks Race Together Nonsense

Starbuck Cup

On March 17, 2015 Starbucks president Howard Schultz announced the Race Together campaign, which was an effort by his company to get people talking about racism.  The campaign would have employees of Starbucks write on the side of customer’s cups the phrase “Race Together.”  The rumor was that employees were supposed to engage customers in a conversation about race as well, but I have yet to find a credible source verifying that.

“Discussions” about race usually go something like this:  “White man, you’ve been keeping Black people down for way too long, so shut the hell up and listen to what we have to say.  Then do as we say!  You got it?!”  That is, “conversations”, “continuing dialogue”, etc., about racism are always about how White people just don’t get it and how the Black race is forever the victim of those evil Caucasians who are just too stupid to understand the problems Blacks face or are unwilling to relinquish power they hold over Blacks – or both.

I am so tired of this.  I have been listening to these Blacks and White liberals for forty-eight years tell me how I am to blame for past injustices, how I am to blame for the way things are today with Black folks and all the adversity they face, how I am to blame for slavery, how I owe for reparations, and how White people are the only people on the planet who could possibly ever be guilty of racism.  I have heard all I ever want to hear from Blacks and White liberals with their bitching and belly-aching over racial issues.  In fact, I’ve been over it for decades now.

When Starbucks announced their new politically correct racism campaign, I thought to myself, “Jesus Christ!  You’ve got to be kidding me!”  I made up my mind I would take a small stand against Starbucks over this issue.  So on Sunday March 22nd, I called a Starbucks here in Mempnis, Tennessee.  The conversation went like this:

  • Starbucks Employee:  Thank you for calling Starbucks.  This is ______.  How may I help you?
  • Me:  Yeah, I would like to come by this afternoon and get a cup of coffee after my class lets out; but I am not gonna hear a lecture about racism; and I don’t want any racism bullshit written on the side of my cup.  Is that going to be a problem?
  • SE:  No sir.  That won’t be a problem at all.  In fact, we are not even doing that at this location.
  • Me:  Okay.  I’ll be by this afternoon.  Thank you.
  • SE:  Yes sir, thank you.

So, off I went before my class started instead after it let out.  I went inside (this was my very first time to a Starbucks by the way), placed my order, told the girl running the register that I didn’t want that Race Together crap on my cup, paid for it and left.

As of this blog entry, Starbucks had backed down on a national level.  Apparently, enough people like me voiced their displeasure at being preached at over racism again.  I didn’t even see any mention of it on the company website on March 24th as I did on March 23rd.

It’s time people took a stand against liberals and said “ENOUGH!”  If more people would voice their opinions, maybe some of this politically correct nonsense would become a thing of the past.

Black Culture

Protesters

Before I begin this essay, it is necessary to address the issue of whether or not I am a racist because it is absolutely impossible to criticize Black culture without being labeled as such, whether the criticism is factually correct or not.  Simply pointing out the negative aspects of Black culture is not permitted.

Sure, I am a racist; but not like most people consider the word “racist.”  Contrary to what people like Geraldo Rivera would have us think, there is simply not one human race.  In traditional anthropological studies there are actually five races within the human family, and all of them are not equally alike.  They are:

  1. Mongoloid (Asian and American Indian)
  2. Caucasoid (European)
  3. Australoid (Australian and Oceanic)
  4. Negroid (east African Black)
  5. Capoid (south African Black)

Not only do these different peoples not look alike, they have different cultures as well.  Further, there are differences in intelligence among the races, though I’m sure progressive liberals would prefer that we believe otherwise.

So yes, I am a racist.  I accept the anthropological evidence that there are physical, cultural, and intelligence differences in the human family as far as race classifications go.  Like it or not, it is a fact that these differences do exist.

Think of it this way:  There is an animal called “dog.”  Though dogs all have four legs and are covered with hair, there are many different types (“breeds” as they are commonly known) of dogs.  Different types of dogs have different characteristics.  No two breeds are the same.  We all understand and accept this because it is simply the truth.  The facts are indisputable.  Only a fool would have us believe that all dogs are exactly the same.  Some are aggressive; others are mellow and laid back.  Some seem to have intelligence; others appear to be dumb as a roll of paper towels.  Does the fact that we all know and accept that there are differences in breeds of dogs make us bad people?  Of course not.  Why should it?

So why should it be the case that to accept that different races of people are different from each other makes the one who accepts this truth a bad person?  I accept that there are physical, cultural, and intelligence differences among the races of the human species because it is true.  That does not mean that I hate any particular race of people collectively or any individual on a personal level who simply belongs to a particular race.

My motivation in writing this essay is not to encourage a hatred of Blacks.  It is simply an attempt to objectively explain why it is that Black people tend to be less respected, not only by Whites, but other races of people as well.  If you wish to call me a racist, I don’t care.  If you wish to call this essay “hate speech” I don’t care about that either.  It doesn’t take very much at all for a liberal to label one a racist or to call something hate speech anymore.

Anyway…here’s the essay about Black Culture:

If you were to ask any Black person in the United States, “Do you think White people and people of other races respect Black people?”, the overwhelming answer would be “no.”  That answer would be correct.  Black people would probably give a list of reasons as to why this is the case.  They would say White people dislike them because of their skin color and they would assert that the White race has set up a system that naturally keeps them down which started with slavery and continued with Jim Crow, segregation, and discrimination.  Again, to some degree they would be right.  That social system, which was invented by White Democrats of the North and South, did seek to keep them in an inferior state of being for a long, long time.

But things have changed a lot since the Civil Right Era of the 1960’s.  The system which kept them down no longer exists and Blacks have made tremendous strides in lifting themselves up from the yoke that was placed upon them by Democrats who wished to maintain a White-controlled power structure.  Still, however, Black people are correct to assert that they are not respected as much as people of other races.

The race hustlers-Jessee Jackson, Al Sharpton, and various others-would assert that skin color is the sole reason for the fact that Blacks generally aren’t respected by other races – especially Whites.  They would argue that this dislike is solely the result of the White man’s hatred for his former slaves and that Black people have done nothing to deserve this dislike of which they are a victim.

This is not necessarily so.  Though there are, of course, numerous people out there who do disrespect Blacks solely because of their skin color, but these haters are a minority.  As far as those who have an aversion to Black people go, skin color is not necessarily the determining factor; there are other reasons.

So, if skin color is not the reason for the fact that a good number of people of other races seem to have an aversion (though they may not admit it) to Black people, then exactly what is the reason?  Simply put, the reason Black people are not respected as much as people of other races in this country is because of Black culture.  The words “Black culture” constitute a term which describes counterproductive, unusual, just-plain-weird modes of thinking, speaking, and acting which seem to come natural to the Black race.   So…what are these oddball modes of being?  They are as follows:

Ebonics. We have all heard Ebonics.  It is a distorted, contorted version of English which is the result of a refusal on the part of a significant number of Blacks to speak the English language correctly.  It is an inferior way of talking, which leaves the one speaking this version of English appearing uneducated, uncivilized, and somewhat stupid.  Blacks who do speak English correctly are sometimes referred to as an “Uncle Tom” or an “Oreo” because, in the minds of other Blacks, they are “acting White.”  The following is an example of Ebonics:

Correct English: He’s going home after work. He’s tired.
Ebonics translation: He goin’ home aftu wuk. He be tide and shit.

To be fair, it must also be stated that the country accent of Southern White people sounds just as stupid and just as moronic as Ebonics does.  If you think about it, can you really blame folks for coming to the conclusion that people who speak like dumbasses are actually dumbasses?  If one is going to present himself to the world as an idiot through his mode of speech, whether that mode of speech is Ebonics or the Southern, country accent, then he has no right to be offended if people actually think of him as such.  If you don’t want to be thought of as a fool, then don’t speak like a fool.

Nicknames. Blacks tend to call themselves by other names because they somehow think doing so makes them cool or something.  I used to work with a Black man who called himself “Downtown”.  When I attended vocational school, there were three Black friends who also attended the same school.  There names were Darren, Gary, and Tim. They referred to themselves, however, as “D”, “G”, and “T”.  Whenever one reads obituaries in the newspaper, deceased Black men will almost always have a nickname listed with their real name.  I once read a blog post about a Black man who had gone by his nickname for so long that he didn’t remember his real name.  That’s not to say, of course, that Whites don’t have nicknames too.  They do of course, but to hear one is rare these days and a much less common practice.

Weird first names. Blacks are good at inventing some really odd first names.  This is probably because they don’t want to use names that would cause them to be accused of acting White.  Maybe it’s some type of derivative of their African heritage.  Who knows?  Here’s a list of Black names I found on the internet:

Aaja (pronounced Asia), Acacia, Ajeenah, Akai, Aquanita, Baleria, Barbertha, Callie (pronounced Kelly), CaAndi, Chetiqua, Cloteal, Curly Top, Darhies, Dayphine, Debrasharme, Derecio, Dertiteriesa, Dikueria and Dikuria (twins), Dildree, Dishon, Dovanna, Duanita, Dyiamond, Dwendolyn, Effillyne, Endrissa, Equandolyn, Esaw, Everage, Floyce, Franshawn, Ghia, Ivier, Jartavious, JyesahJhnai, Keithen, Kentnilla, Lafondra, La,poo (yes, contains comma), Latronia, Lemonjello and Orangejello (twins), L’Tonya, Machoda, Nau-Quia, Mayima, Minute, Miquel, Nethel, Omnipotence, Ondra (pronounced Andre), Ozro, Padraic, Pecola, Phe-anjoy, Precious Unique, Queen Esther, Quithreaun, Rincesetta, Sanja, Saranus, Shanieja, Sharicus, Shiquipa, SiJourna’i, Silquia, Sinetra, Summer Love, Termicka, Tequilla, Timphanie, Tryphenia, Tywana, Tzaddi and Tzavvi (twins), Ulheric, Undlia, Undrea (pronounced Andre), Wsam,Xiomara, XL, Yaw, Yuvodka Sharice, Wilida, Zaquan, Zufan, Zyneene.

I used to attend church with a man who knew a Black girl in Nashville whose name was “Syphilis”.  Her mother gave her that name because she thought it had a pleasant sound to it.

First-name references. Quite often, Blacks will refer to other famous Blacks by their first names.  Michael Jackson, for example, is often referred to by other Blacks as simply “Michael.”  Aretha Franklin is “Aretha.”  This practice is most likely something that is done to promote a sense of kinship among members of the race.  There’s actually nothing wrong with referring to strangers on a first-name basis.  It’s just a bit odd.

Being cool.  Blacks, mostly Black men, like to be “cool” or “smooth”.  Being cool is a way to, in their minds anyway, augment their self-worth; so they do all kinds of crazy stuff to be “cool”.  Examples?  Oh gosh…where to begin?  Well, Black men like to hold their penises.  They wear bright-colored suits on Sunday for church.  Not smiling when having a picture taken is a way of being cool.  Adorning their bodies and cars with gold is somehow considered cool.  Walking around with a serious look on one’s face and not smiling as if the one putting on the serious act is some sort a stoic or something – that is, I suppose, a way of being cool.  Over accentuating movement is cool too, like when a Black woman shakes her head and says something like, “I know you ain’t be talkin’ to me!”  Blacks also tend to stress how good looking and attractive they are – well, how good looking and attractive they think they are anyway.  We all know Black “coolness” when we see it.  It is simply self-evident.

Over Complementing.  Black people have a peculiar inclination to describe other Black people, usually their relatives, with positive adjectives.  This practice is mostly seen on television.  On Family Feud, for example, Steve Harvey regularly asks the member of the family closest to the center of the game “stage” (for lack of a better word), the “leading” family member if you will, to introduce the other four family members.  Most of the time when he asks this of a Black person, the introductions go something like, “This is my beautiful sister LaTisha, her gorgeous husband Tyrell, my magnificent mother Margaret, and my outstanding father Henry.”  Again, there’s nothing wrong with this.  It simply seems a tad strange.

Crime.  Blacks make up approximately thirteen percent of the U.S. population, but they commit approximately sixty percent of the crime in this nation.  A good number of them are simply prone to crime – especially stealing.  They are a minority but make up the majority in prisons.  By the fourth month of my training in vocational school, the majority of students was Black.  It was at this same time that White people started reporting property missing.  My next door neighbor who is Black stole seven hundred dollars from me once, but I got it back.

Illegitimacy.  The illegitimacy rate in the Black population runs around seventy to seventy-five percent.  It is a fact.  Liberals don’t like to hear this, but they can’t get around this inconvenient truth because the facts are there.  Just watch Judge Judy when she has Blacks disputing a case.  She will ask them how many kids they have, and they will come up with some number like four or five – the majority of the time by different sex partners.

Rude behavior.  We’ve all been to a movie and witnessed this.  They break line, talk loud during the movie, and tend to do this as a pack of at least three or more.  On the television series Hardcore Pawn Blacks regularly come into the pawn shop and “show their color”, as Blacks themselves refer to it.  They start yelling and demanding, and they always get escorted out by store security.  It seems to be the case that being loud and bringing attention to themselves is somehow being in charge.  They figure this attention makes them seem more superior.  It actually makes them look like fools and makes people of other races afraid of them.

Lack of control.  Generally speaking, Blacks can neither control their anger or their sex drive.  It is no mere coincidence that Africa is the world leader in AIDS cases on a global level and that Washington, D.C. has more AIDS cases than any other place in the United States.  It is because both regions are almost entirely Black; and Black men tend to have uncontrolled, promiscuous sex with multiple women.  Why is it that they have such high rates of illegitimacy in their community?  It’s because they don’t practice self-discipline and control.  In Africa, if a man doesn’t keep his wife constantly pregnant, he is considered less of a man by other men in the tribe; and it doesn’t matter if the tribe is on the verge of starvation – they are expected to reproduce anyway.  As far as anger goes, again, just watch Hardcore Pawn.  You’ll see how easily angered they can get.

Black defense.  No matter what a Black person has done, he or she is innocent in the eyes of other Black people. That’s simply how it is.  In 1995 there was overwhelming evidence presented against O.J. Simpson when he was on trial for murder.   A mostly-Black jury, however, found him not guilty and let him go.  The Black community all over this nation celebrated with joy as that murderer went free.  The same was true for the pedophile Michael Jackson.  It didn’t matter to Blacks that he molested kids.  He was a Black man, and he was innocent. [1]  Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Antonio Martin-three useless, counterproductive thugs-all caused their own deaths when they decided to attack armed White men.  Regardless of the fact that the evidence proved these morons attempted to cause bodily harm to other people, in the minds of the Black community, these three idiots were innocent, good, upstanding young men who were actually the victims of evil, White racists with guns and a system that was intentionally stacked against the Black race.

The race card.  Whenever something doesn’t go the way Black people think it should or whenever a Black man faces some opposition, it’s because the racist White man is trying to keep the Black man down.  Opposition to the Communist Barrack Hussein Obama is because of racism, not his Socialist, Communist policies.  Voter ID laws are attempts to stop Blacks and poor people from voting, which is-again-racism.  The Duke Lacrosse scam was couched in terms of privileged White boys raping a poor Black woman.  Anytime a Black man gets pulled over for speeding by a White cop, it’s because the White cop is a racist and is racially profiling a poor, innocent, Black.

There is also a double standard when Blacks use the race card in regard to crime.  For example, in the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case, Al Sharpton and Jessee Jackson-again-came out and led protests over the shooting of Martin. There were protests all over the country about this case.  Sharpton and Jackson, however, were nowhere to be found in January 2007 when Shannon Christian and Chris Newsom were kidnapped, raped (yes, they raped him too), tortured, and murdered by four Blacks.   There were NO protests by Blacks anywhere in this nation as there were with the Zimmerman case.  It is only when a Black man is the “victim” and the perpetrator is White that Blacks concern themselves with the issue of young Blacks getting shot.  If George Zimmerman was a Black man, there would not have been any protests.  Black-on-Black violence is irrelevant.

Voting Democrat.  Democrats have done an amazing job of brain washing Black people.  They have promised and delivered on free give-away goodies from Uncle Sam.  They are then told, “If you don’t vote for us, those evil Republicans will take away all that we have given you; and you’ll be in a world of hurt if they do.”  Welfare, food stamps, public housing, Affirmative Action, lowered admission requirements for colleges – these are but some the goodies given, not just to Blacks, but anyone who qualifies.  Since a substantial number of Blacks qualify and benefit from these programs, they are always going to vote Democrat.  Democrats have also sold Blacks on the idea that Republicans are evil racists who hate them.  To be Black and not vote for Democrats is to be an Uncle Tom or an Oreo.  The reality is that Republicans opposed slavery.  Democrats from the North and South were pro-slavery, invented the Ku Klux Klan, invented segregation and Jim Crow laws, and voted against Civil Rights Era reforms.  Democrats have never admitted this, have never apologized for it, and have never offered to make restitution for it.  Instead, they blame those evil White Republicans for their misdeeds and claim that it was actually them who inflicted years of misery on Black people.

Exclusive organizations.  Blacks have their own exclusive clubs and organizations; and it raises no eyebrows at all – at least not on the part of the “progressive” left.  If Whites had explicitly-stated, Whites-only organizations, the liberal left would lose their minds.  The word “racist” would be only the beginning of their assaults.  Well, that’s the hypocritical, Communist left for you.  That’s another blog entry.  People of other races look at these silly organizations and the fact that Blacks think they have to have such them in the first place, and well…we are all simply amused I guess.  The fact that they segregate themselves, lends to the fact that they are not respected by other races.  Here’s a list of Black organizations I found on the internet.

Blame Whitey.  It is a commonly-held belief among Blacks that any problem in the Black community is the fault of the White race.  High crime rates are the result of the White man keeping them down and intentionally inventing drug laws to put them in prison.  The fact that Blacks get pulled over more by police than White people do is the result of racial profiling – “driving while Black” as they call it.  The fact that there is a seventy-to-seventy-five-percent illegitimacy rate in the Black community is because former White slave masters used Black female slaves as sex toys; and, as a result, Black women, to this day, think of themselves as objects to be used by men.  Black children experience punishment in the public school system more than do children of other races.  This is because they misbehave more than children of other races.  But wait a minute…that explanation just won’t do.  There has to be another reason right?  Of course, the reason for the higher number of Black children being punished is because White teachers are racist and school boards are mostly White and implement policies that are intended to keep Black people down.  Whatever problems Blacks face can be traced in their minds and in the minds of White liberals to “the legacy of slavery” and the fact that White people are generally racist.

Mad about the past.  According to Candace Owens, young Blacks today are more angry about slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and discrimination than Blacks who actually experienced all of this first hand.  She’s absolutely right.  It is common to see Blacks on television and the internet complaining about all that I just mentioned.  Of course, they blame White people living today for the atrocities committed by White people who are long dead against Black people who are also long dead.  When it is pointed out that White people today had absolutely nothing to do with any of those past mistreatments, they have to grudgingly concede this truth but with this reservation:  “You are benefiting from all the injustices done to our people by your people, and we are still suffering from these injustices.”  There are actually comments on web sites by Blacks stating how they hate Whites.  People get tired of being blamed for that which they had nothing to with and resent those doing the blaming.  It’s that simple.

The double standard.  Blacks are allowed to say and do hateful, illogical, just-plain-stupid nonsense and get away with it; whereas White people are held accountable for what they say and do.  There are two implied, understood-but-unspoken rules White liberals subscribe to when it comes to this matter: (1) Since Blacks aren’t all that smart (they believe this but won’t admit it), they deserve to not be held to the same standards that White people are held to in regard to statements they make; and (2) Because of slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and discrimination, Blacks deserve to able to say and do things, no matter how outrageous, and not be held accountable. Here are some examples:

  1. Willie Brown, a former governor of California, after winning the election, said, “We got those White boys.”  He made this statement with a gloating attitude and a smile on his face.  Had former governors Jerry Brown or Arnold Schwarznegger made a similar statement about Blacks, there would have been outrage from both the Black community and White liberals as well.  There would have been calls for them both to resign.  There was no such outrage or calls to resign in Brown’s case.
  2. Comedian Jammie Fox, in reference to a movie role he played, stated, “The best part [of having a major role in the movie Django Unchained] was that I got to kill all the White people.”  If Bruce Willis, in reference to his 2003 movie Tears of the Sun, had stated he was pleased with the fact that his character, Lieutenant A.K. Waters, got to kill African Blacks, there would have been calls to boycott that movie and all of his movies, to say the least.  It would have been the end of his career.
  3. On October 14, 2005 a Black Professor by the name of Kamau Kambon, while addressing a panel at Howard University Law School, used these words live on C-SPAN: “We have to exterminate White people off the face of the planet.”  There were no protests on the campus of Howard University in opposition to Kambon’s statement, nor did it even make the news.
  4. In January of 2007 a young White couple (Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome) in Knoxville, TN were kidnapped, tortured, raped, and finally murdered by four Black males.  There were no protests by the local NAACP, and this incident didn’t make the national news.  However, in February 2012 Trayvon Martin, in a fit of rage over being followed by George Zimmerman, attacked Zimmerman and began slamming his head onto the pavement.  Zimmerman shot and killed Martin in self defense.  The Black community (nationwide) and the media went on a rampage, condemning Zimmerman as a racist.  The Knoxville chapter of the NAACP organized a march with signs stating “Justice for Trayvon” and such similar stupid nonsense.  The Knoxville NAACP, as stated earlier, was completely silent when it came to the murder of Christian and Newsome.
  5. In January of 1988 sports commentator “Jimmy the Greek” Snyder stated the following about the superiority of Blacks in sports: “The Black is a better athlete to begin with because he’s been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs.  This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big Black [male] to his big [Black] woman so that he could have a big Black kid.”  He was not only fired by CBS over this but was labeled a racist.  Similarly, in June of 2012, former Olympic track star Michael Johnson (a Black man), on a radio program that he hosts in U.K., stated the following: “All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it’s impossible to think that being descended from slaves hasn’t left an imprint through the generations…Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me.  I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us.”  Though this statement caused some controversy, Johnson was not fired nor was he labeled a racist.

The list could go on and on.  The point is this: Blacks get away with that which Whites could never get away with, simply because they are Black.  In the minds of Black activists and White liberals, only the White man can be an oppressor.  The Black man must always be the victim; and, therefore, should be held blameless for whatever he might do or say.  Blacks know this and use it to their advantage.

Well, that’s Black culture in the United States.  This is why Blacks are not looked upon very favorably in this country.  Like it or not, its the truth.  If you’re going to conduct yourself according to the way Black culture dictates, and if you’re going to be the gleeful recipient of endless double standards, can you really expect people of other races to have much respect for you?  A manager of mine back in the early 1990’s had a friend who came to visit him from England.  This friend of his was under the impression that White people in this country mistreated Blacks.  Once he came to the United States, however, he soon realized that Blacks are treated and thought of the way they are because of the way they think, speak, and behave, and by the fact that they are coddled by the progressive, liberal left.  It was a big shock to him.

To be fair, not all Blacks practice Black culture.  There are many Black people who know that to behave as described above is to be a fool.  Unfortunately, they are also accused of “acting White” when they do refrain from such foolish behavior.  Recently, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC commentator Jonathan Capehart (who is Black), after reviewing the U.S. Justice Department report on the Michael Brown shooting, admitted that the hand-up-don’t-shoot mantra was a lie and that officer Darrell Wilson was justified in shooting Brown.  He has since been vilified by Blacks and accused of trying to “please the White man.”  No doubt they will call him an “oreo”, “uncle Tom”, and “house nigger.”  That’s the way some Black people respond to the truth which hurts so bad, especially when stated by a Black man.

Contrary to what others may think after reading this post, I don’t hate Black people at all.  Two Black men recently became regular customers of mine.  These men are very nice, polite gentlemen for whom I have nothing but respect.  They do not carry on with Black culture nonsense.  They behave according to the dictates of common sense and civility.  So it’s not a question of skin color; it’s a matter of how one conducts oneself and what philosophies one subscribes to.  These are the criteria upon which I decide whether or not I like or dislike someone.

I do, however, have absolutely no use for Black culture as has been developed here in the United States.  Black culture is an inferior, counter-productive way of thinking, speaking, and behaving.  It has done nothing to help Black people and has actually hindered their progress.  The sooner it ends the better.

  • It could be correctly argued that Michael Jackson was found innocent of molesting children by a jury of his peers. After the trial was over, however, the jurors were interviewed on television and stated that, although the prosecution wasn’t able to prove Jackson was guilty, they did indeed believe he had committed sexual acts against children.  Had the prosecution done a better job, the verdict would have guilty.
