Post-Mortem on the Baltimore Riots

[jordan179]

IntroductionThe Baltimore riots are over.  The burnt wreckage of what had been the homes and businesses and vehicles of innocent human beings has cooled down.  Victims of cruel, random and racist beatings by the mob are beginning the long process of recovory from their injuries.  Many of the victims' dreams have been destroyed; in some cases the

The Lightworker should have gone to Baltimore - not too far a drive, actually - and delivered a speech to appeal to civic calm. This was a big missed opportunity for him, and would have done much good for everyone.

As for the trustafarian agitators who are organizing all this on social media, the FBI should be arresting them. I guess it's just not a big enough priority for them somehow.

Why? He and his regime have been stirring up racial unrest from the time they came to power!

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be a priority. It's not like they're tied up doing important things like, oh, going after jihadists.

I was referring to what he should have done if he, you know, were a responsible leader. Unfortunately, that's a bit much to ask, of course.

Sadly so.

Anyone heard how Jay Z is quietly (well, not anymore) posting bail for some of the protesters in Baltimore and other places? If it is true, that sure is a hearty stamp of approval for these blacks who already felt entitled and justified to commit crimes.

I saw this headline, but I didn't want to click on the actual story. It will make me want to punch things.

Of course! They're perpetual victims, dontcha know? Always oppressed, suppressed and depressed by Whitey. The mentality is, "You OWE us."

It's all excused because, SLAVERY!

It's a shame they are going to go through life being asses rather than assets to society. Just burdens. Big babies we have to carry around. Big babies who resent us and want us dead. If all white people died and they owned the world they would utterly destroy it in no time and still blame us!

It's time that educated blacks who disagree with thug mentality to step up and take a hold of their people. There is no way we can reach them, no way. But I fear they won't even listen to them either. I got into it on twitter with one of them. When I mentioned Oprah, he balked saying Oprah was "not black anymore" that she had "turned her back on the black people". Can you believe it? How do you answer that?

Did he explain why and what he meant by that? Is it because she's so rich and successful? I'm certainly no fan of hers. But I can at least appreciate all that she's overcome to get where she is. She had a terrible childhood/upbringing. Born in poverty, all kinds of family problems, abuse, etc. You'd think a person who has overcome all of this would be admired in the black community.

I swear, I don't understand that mentality!
