Enough With The Ferguson Pandering

Ferguson-Store-Owner.jpgIn all the media coverage of the riots in Ferguson, an annoying false premise has been allowed to stand as though it were an unquestionable truth. Talking heads on the left and right are saying while rioting is not the way, there is a need for change in America. What the heck change are they talking about?

By embracing the “need for change” premise promoted by Al Sharpton and company, the media is complicit in spreading the lie that America is racist and blacks are mistreated. For crying out loud folks, look around. Blacks are thriving in every area of the American experience. The real need for change is for blacks to stop voting for Democrats in exchange for just-enough-to-get-by handouts and endless failed big government spending programs that make problems worse; the death of the black family. That is what desperately needs to change in America.

I take offense with these snooty arrogant TV talking heads declaring my country and my fellow Americans guilty of something they are not. The talking heads are simply pandering to ignorance and beating up on my country and I do not like it. These elites are also poking a finger in the eye of the majority of Americans of all races who play by the rules to achieve their American dreams; working, playing, and crying together when necessary.

We have also heard from the media and Obama that police must deal with blacks differently. Obama said a better job must be done training law enforcement “to be sensitive to the concerns of minority communities”. Hogwash! Why isn't standard police training sufficient for dealing with all criminals? Should extra tolerance be allowed by police when dealing with minorities? Absolutely not. The call for police special training is nothing more than liberal pandering.

I also fought to control my gag reflex every time I heard a media elite praise the Ferguson police for their great restraint during the looting and destruction of property and lives after the grand jury decision and earlier riots back in August. Such comments feed the notion that blacks have a right to be angry and behave badly because America is racist.

So as Americans watched footage of police cars burning, thugs gleefully running with stolen goodies and mayhem in the streets of Ferguson, we are told that while violence is not the way, we must understand their rage. Every opportunist thug wreaking havoc in Ferguson should be arrested. Period!

Despite all the media accusations of an over militarized Ferguson police department and despite Ferguson police walking on eggshells in an attempt not to further anger protesters and appease the MSM, black and white businesses were destroyed; apparently deemed acceptable collateral damage.

Even some conservatives contributed to the destructive pandering by subscribing to the narrative that special concessions must be made for blacks because they are still suffering the negative effects of slavery. This is absurd.

American blacks are suffering the negative effects of decades of Liberalism; liberals controlling our schools, controlling Hollywood and controlling the news media. Liberals have infected the hearts and minds of blacks, conditioning them to believe blacks are suppressed in America because of racism, while ignoring all facts, in plain sight, which prove otherwise.

If white America's agenda is to suppress blacks, what dark room deal was struck to allow Oprah, Obama, Beyonce, Dr Ben Carson and others to breakthrough the Great White American Glass Ceiling? Is there an annual restriction on the number of blacks permitted to achieve success in America?

Interviewed on TV, a young black male said the grand jury decision proves that America is systematically racist. I thought, there you have it. Al Sharpton and company have won. From the first reports of the shooting, Shapton and the Democrats' purpose was to exploit Brown's death to further their narrative that America is racist and cops murder blacks with impunity.

Insidiously, Sharpton and company successfully turned Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown's deaths into evidence of America's injustice in the minds of many; solely for the purpose of creating fear and hate against white America. Their messaging is vote for Democrats and we will keep the handouts coming, redistribute whitey's wealth and keep whitey off you back.

America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it. And yet, Sharpton and company are relentless in their efforts to hide this truth from black Americans, the very people they claim to champion. Why? The answer is the Left's agenda is to transform America into a socialist nation. They need government dependent blacks voting for Democrats to make it happen. This is why Democrats, liberals and the MSM are celebrating Obama, in essence, granting amnesty to over 5 million illegals, despite them taking jobs from blacks; further exacerbating black unemployment. By embracing Obama's lawless amnesty decree, the Democrats are throwing black Americans under the bus.

Watching the Ferguson riots on TV was deja vu all over again. For decades, Democrats have been feeding blacks the same old excrement and we are witnessing the same results; angry frustrated blacks – a majority of black kids in fatherless households, high school dropouts, high unemployment, high black on black crime, high incarcerations, high abortions and so on.

Bottom line, far too many blacks are mentally stuck, infected with victim mindsets which prevent them from pursuing their American dreams.

Shepard Smith on Fox News said the protests in Ferguson brings up the larger issue that large numbers of people (blacks) across America do not feel that the system is working for them. The unfortunate mindset of such blacks is the result of brainwashing by liberals and Democrats; pure and simple. As I stated, all of black America's real issues stem from decades of them willfully living on the Democrat's liberal plantation.

The American system works great! Only in America could a barefoot cotton-picking little black kid in the 1940s dare to have a dream; grow up to become one of the most powerful black men in the world, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Without Affirmative Action, Justice Thomas achieved success the old fashion way. He earned it via education, hard work and right choices.

America is great because America is good. May God continue to bless America.

THEY HAVEN LEARNED YET..THEY ARE THEIR OWN WORSE ENEMY....WITH THE HELP OF AL SHARPTO, AND KESSIE JACKSON WH KEEP FEEDING THEM A BUNCH OF  SHI------!!!

     S WOULD OVERTA 

  • It is not going to happen. To many blacks are aware of the truth, but it brings them nothing. Why strive when you have it handed to you and blame your own inadequacies on a boogeyman.


    I honestly believe they enjoy having the ability of being so racist while not having to be labeled as one.


    I don't have faith in the black community, not at all. I believe they will continue to riot and continue to be preferred racists. The black community has become the most violent, racist hypocritical people in the nation. I don't see that changing.


    I've given up any hope that they'll strive to be anything other then liberal slaves and a sham. They want an innocent imprisoned and believe themselves justified.


    MLK died in vain.
  • I AM SO DAM SICK OF THIS GROWING UP IN THE 60S I HAVE HAD IT W/THIS RACIST CRAP

    REMEMBER HITLER AND THE 6 MIL JEWS HE MURDERED BLACKS NEED TO SEE THE VERY WELL OFF BLACKS AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THEMSELVES

    I HAD 2 FRIENDS SHOT TO DEATH MARCHING W/DR KING AND OVOMIT AND HIMMLER HOLDER HAVE SET RACE RELATIONS BK ABT 50 YRS 

    GET OVER IT 

  • The media want ratings, so they promote racist hate and controversy. Sharpton is their hero and the shopkeeper who has lost his business and livelihood thanks to people like Sharpton's race-baiting is the bad guy. I believe that 99% of all Americans are good people, but the 1% who are promoted by the media as better people get the headlines and sympathy. Very sad.

  • OMG, that says it all! Excellent! Something that infuriated me with the Ferguson outcome, is when, I believe it was the family's attorney, said that justice was not served. They had the trial, they had black eyewitnesses and testimony, there were blacks on the jury, and yet "justice was not served". That is because the only "JUSTICE" the black people involved were interested in was "death to the white guy"! That, to them, was justice! One of the definitions of "justice", according to the Oxford Dictionary of Current English is: "the administration of law in a fair and reasonable way", which is exactly what occurred. This problem has raised its ugly head ten fold since BO took office! Now, between BO and Holder, along with Sharpton and the rest of the loonies, America is doomed to have to deal with this subject until 2016. The current administration sticking its nose into murder trials, etc. which ONLY involve blacks has to tell you something! Have you heard a word from them about the man that was beaten to death with a hammer by blacks and Hispanics? Did they say anything when several years ago a black teen shot a white cop? Have they ever even mentioned the THOUSANDS of murders that have taken place in BO's hometown of Chicago among blacks? Yes, racism is running rampant, and it's coming from our very own administration!

  • As usual the clarity Lloyd Marcus exhibits leaves me speechless. I'll vote for him if he and Ben decide to run...Semper Fi Nam 66-67

  • stopped watching and listening anything about ferguson 2 weeks ago.....fed up.

  • MR. MARCUS,

    As usual you are right on target again. Like the many posts you made on Patriot Action Network, you tell it like it is and don't pull any punches in doing so.

    I commend you, my friend and praise you for your efforts to make this a better country for ALL AMERICANS.

    We have enough division in this country from the likes of BHO and his minions, we don't need a charged up section of our population to add to the confusion.

    YES, there are things we can do to create better relations between the cultures, but totally blaming all because of one does not work to the good of any.

    Personally, I go to a Baptist church in an almost all white area and we have at least 8 black families that belong and attend every Sunday. I praise God and them for coming, because if we are true Christians, we love each other as one, not just the ones that are our same color and every one of them are loved by all at our church and make no distinction or difference because they are black. In fact, one of them is a deacon at our  church. 

    God Bless you for your words of wisdom and truth.

     

    WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

  • Because like they told us, America proved to be too naïve or stupid.
