Black Lives Matter (Part 2)


Ever since 1865, Black people have been forced into ghettos in a way that reminds me of how Present Andrew Jackson (the guy on the $20 bill) forced Native Americans, i.e., "Indians,"  from their native homes in Virginia and Georgia, where they had lived since the ice age, to a reservation, i.e., "ghetto" in Oklahoma. Over 4,000 elderly and sick Native Americans were left to die in the ice and snow because they couldn't keep up with the young and healthy. Such was Andrew Jackson's "trail of tears."

It also reminds me of how Hitler forced Jews into ghettos such as Lodz and Warsaw. Blacks are forced into ghettos in other ways. Blacks who had enough money to buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood, could not buy there because all the nice houses had "restrictive covenants" that forbade the sale of real estate to Black people. Donald Trump used to refuse, or still refuses to sell or rent out apartments to Black people. Even his hotel doesn't allow Blacks.

Ghettos are like police departments. One bad apple can turn the whole barrel rotten. For example, if one "bad apple" presses his knee on the neck of a Black man, and he, the Black man dies, "good apples" will just stand around and do nothing. Thus, the whole barrel turns rotten. If there are no smart phones to film an old man being pushed to the ground and gets killed, the "good apples" will swear under oath that the old man tripped over something, fell down, and hit his head on the pavement. "He was 75 years old. He had a pre-existing condition." So even if 100 eye witnesses swear that the cop pushed him to the ground, the all White jury from Simi valley, will acquit the "bad apple." When the "good apples" see how easy it is to murder somebody and get away with it, the whole barrel turns rotten. 

This is how the "good apples" turn rotten in the ghetto. Ghettos are very dangerous places, especially for school boys. Since ghettos are rock bottom, this is where the homeless pitch their tents and live in large cardboard boxes. This is where the mentally ill and the paroled convicts end up. It is all too often that school boys get beat up by bullies or gangs. Therefore, "good apples" join gangs for protection. However, gang leaders are like bad cops. They are charismatic and can indoctrinate the gang just as Charles Manson indoctrinated his gang of girls. If the gang leader orders the gang to sell narcotics, the "good apples" will follow orders from the "bad apple" in the same way that good cops turn bad by following orders from the bad cops. Of course, there are other factors that course the ghettos to be so dangerous. But the common denominator is that such people are trapped or concentrated (as in "Konzentrationslager") in the same dangerous place without the 5th amendment right to liberty.

This is why so many Black and Hispanic people live in ghettos It's not because of their race. This is why most people in prison are Black and Hispanic. Unfortunately, many uneducated or poorly educated White people think that the reason why the majority of people in the ghettos and prisons are Black and Hispanic, is because of their race. This is the most common example of racism, bigotry, and White supremacy.

Black Lives Matter (Part 1)

Yes, White lives matter, of course. I've never heard of anybody who said that they don't. If you are White and fear that the chances of getting killed by the cops are the same as the chances of Blacks getting killed by cops, fear not. According to Google and other federal agencies, Blacks are 2.8 times more likely to be killed by cops than Whites. Whites still have a slight majority of 52% (Google) while Blacks are a minority at 32% (Google.) In spite of this, the odds of Blacks getting killed by cops are 2.8 times higher than Whites (Google.)
Trump doesn't agree. He says that the rate of Blacks getting killed by cops is the same as the Whites. Where does he get his statistics? Surely it's not from Google. He will say that Google is "fake news." Or he will say that Obama paid Google to lie and say that it's 2.8 times more than Whites. Don't let Trump fool you. He just wants to scare you so that you will vote for him. Trump is a demigod.  A demigod is a person who gets his power by scaring poorly educated people and making them believe that he, the demigod, knows everything and he is the only person in the world who can get them out of trouble. It's like the fable of Chicken Little. The wolf said, "Yes in deed, the sky really is falling. But if you hide in my mouth, you'll be safe and I will protect you.
Or, like Jimmy Jones who said, "The capitalist government is out to take your money, property and your children. But if you give me all your money and sign over all your property to me, I will take you to our Garden of Eden in Guiana. In the end, he said: "We are all guilty of murdering a U.S. congressman. So we will be executed in the electric chair. So, take the poison and follow me to heaven."
Or, like Joseph Stalin who told his people: "The U.S. has many nuclear weapons that can blow all of us up. They will invade us as they did at Arch Angel and Vladivostok in 1919. But follow me and I'll save you as I did when Hitler and his fascist armies came to invade us."
Or, like Adolf Hitler who said that the communists and the Jews are out to get you. Follow me and I will get rid of all the Jews and communists.
Or, like Joseph McCarthy who... Do you get the idea?
Don't be a Chicken Little.  Don't follow the wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't vote for the wolf. He will lead you to the abyss.
