Black lives matter. Absolutely they do! The amount of melanin
in one’s skin pigmentation does not add nor diminish to the inherent dignity
and worth of any human life. Of course,
black lives matter. The phrase itself is
uncontroversial and inarguable to my mind. Every person is a child of God and
created in His image. As such, racism is
a sin and a pernicious evil that is not to be tolerated by decent people of any
color.
Now, the organization of Black Lives Matter is another thing
altogether. They are founded by
self-professed “trained Marxists” who seem bent on destroying capitalism,
religion, social mores, the nuclear family, and the very foundation of
America. One prominent Black Lives
Matter leader told a news reporter just two weeks ago that the group is willing
to embrace violence. And they have
proven this repeatedly in the ensuing weeks.
Black Lives Matter (the organization) is not about black
lives. They could not care less about
the dozens of black people killed every single week in Chicago, Baltimore, Seattle,
Minneapolis, New York, Los Angles, and elsewhere in our country at the hands of
others that aren’t police officers.
(Every city of which is governed by Democrats, but that is an entirely
different matter… or not.) They
certainly don’t do ANYTHING to help improve the lives of Americans of
color. Indeed, if they wanted to help
black Americans, they would realize that capitalism, faith, and the rule of law
has brought unparalleled prosperity and peace to people of color in this
country, especially in the past three years.
But BLM, the organization, only wants to foster hate and division when a
black person is killed by a police officer.
It is a pretext for “burning the whole thing down” as one member said.
If a police officer is wrong in using deadly force on
ANYONE, I am right there with you in protest and demanding justice --- just
like every other decent American is, regardless of color. What the rioting, burning, looting, shooting,
and destruction of property largely by snot-nosed suburban white kids marching
under the BLM banner does is to harm this cause for justice. They are not about justice. They want an excuse to engage in chaos,
anarchy, and mayhem. That turns the vast
silent majority of Americans against them specifically and dilutes a just
message by righteous protesters that then becomes lost in the ashes of rioting.
Further, the idiot rioters further prove their ignorance of
history, or perhaps just display the fact that they don’t give a damn about it,
as they tear down or vandalize statues of Fredrick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln,
Ulysses S. Grant, Columbus, and even a damned statue of an elk in Portland last
week. A freaking elk! I was not aware that the elk were the most
racist creatures in the forest. The bottom
line is that this not about black lives mattering. It is about furthering a Marxist, godless
agenda.
Teaching our kids that racism is a pernicious evil is the
responsibility of all good parents.
Teaching them or allowing them to be taught that Marxist antifa and BLM
groups which espouse violence and have very little to do with denouncing actual
racism is a gross abrogation of parental duties.
I know this nonsense is commonplace as taught in our schools
and colleges by teachers and professors with a militant leftist agenda these
days. America is always bad to these
people and they indoctrinate and infect our students with this verifiably false
load of crap. Truth is the very first
casualty in this socialist revolution that is bound to fail.
Sadly, there is real racism in America, but it is far more
the exception than the rule. It is NOT
systemic, even in nearly all of the police forces throughout our nation. We should be concentrating on eradicating real
racism through an education of actual facts of history and current events
instead of made-up and debunked agenda-driven programs like the 1619 project
and BLM rhetoric. How does a nation
elect a black president and people of color to all offices throughout this
country if it is overwhelmingly racist?
What happened to George Floyd was horrific. That said, the officers involved were fired,
jailed, and will face punishment for their parts in his murder. Every single decent person that saw that
video agrees with that, regardless of color.
Mr. Floyd did not deserve to die and I fully support the righteous anger
of the PEACEFUL protesters to that purpose.
They are preaching to the choir though, as I said, every decent person already
agrees with them.
We achieve nothing when Americans are busy hating America. Further
violating the rule of law will only usher in a new Jacobian version of the
“French revolution” here on American soil, except the ending for the radicals
will be much different here. Despite
what the progressives teach in schools these days, there is a distinct
difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution. Our revolution led to a representative republic
based on the ideal that all men are created equal. The French revolution, which the mob today is
emulating, led to the Reign of Terror.
It is heart-wrenchingly sad when so many ignorant, arrogant,
and thuggish people want to burn down the nation simply so they can “govern”
over the ruins. The overwhelmingly vast
majority of Americans are better than that, and while once again we are a
sleeping giant, the righteous anger of Americans of all colors will eventually cause
us to stand up and protect this divided nation from a small vocal and dangerous
minority of anti-American would-be insurrectionists from within. The first step is for good people to stand up
together and say enough. History has
proven in past such incidents that We The People will indeed do so.
Sooner rather than later would be better.
