Armed black men defend a gas station in Ferguson, MO.
Hopefully Ferguson will mark the END of the
ridiculous racial meme sold by America’s media of a monolithic “black culture.”
Events in that city since the Michael Brown shooting
have proven that.
In my view the two primary victims of Ferguson are
Mike Patel, the store owner that Mike Brown committed a “strong-arm” robbery
arm and “protesters” vandalized and looted, TWICE and, of course, Darren
Wilson, whose primary crime was “surviving a vicious assault.” Michael Brown,
ironically enough, was NOT a “victim,” but a victimizer in all this.
Unlike the still living Dorian Johnson, Michael
Brown decided to physically challenge Officer Darren Wilson, slamming his car
door on him and punching Wilson in the face, before struggling for the cop’s
gun. Brown made a number of deadly “poor decisions.”
Dorian Johnson, subsequently created the false meme
the media (ESPECIALLY CNN) ran with,
that Mike Brown was shot in the back after he tried to surrender with his hands
up. In the street, such revised tales are ubiquitous. Virtually EVERY urban police
action has them. Most such anti-cop memes are made up entirely out of whole
cloth.
So, WHY
did apparently savvy CNN reporters
go for that meme?
Probably because it’s exactly what they WANTED to hear!
CNN’s reporters know the wide disparity that exists
in violent crime in America, just as surely as every cop across the country
does. CNN’s reporters know, just as surely as ALL reporters know that criminals
constantly LIE about police actions and almost always try to claim some form of
police abuse.
Recently two such LIES made national news (NOT so
much on CNN and MSNBC, but in other news outlets). One was the Django Unchained
actress (Daniele Watts http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2756165/Django-Unchained-actress-claimed-harassed-LAPD-making-boyfriend-car-actually-having-sex-witnesses-claim-police-audio-claims-went-racism-rant.html)
who claimed she was “racially profiled” and arrested for “making out” with her
white boyfriend, when she and Brian Lucas were captured having sex in a vehicle
with its passenger door open by cell phone camera.
Then there was Oakland, CA firefighter Keith Jones.
While it’s rare for that false claim to be busted wide open, that’s exactly
what happened to Mr. Jones’ story, when he was caught in a series of “racism” LIES against a White police officer. In
effect, Mr. Jones had two problems that
day; First...he lied about the
incident, and Second, the cop had it
all on audio-video tape.
Had there been a dash cam video of Ferguison, it’s a
virtual certainty that the story would’ve died much sooner. Here’s the way the Ferguson
incident actually breaks down; An incredibly entitled young African-American
male, benefitting greatly from all sorts of local and federal subsidies, from
WIC to food stamps to subsidized housing, to all manner of racial preferences,
attacked a working class police officer, many of whom are military Veterans,
for simply doing his job, which in that case, was moving Brown’s ample ass out
of the middle of a well-traveled street. The media, doesn’t side with the beleaguered
workingman, the lower working class policeman, but the entitled thug. Any rumor
that supports the thug’s meme is reported as gospel and anything that counters
that is viewed with skepticism, IF reported at all.
For instance, very little has been reported about
the murder of 20 y/o Deandre Joshua, who was killed just yards from the scene
where Mike Brown was killed, after allegedly giving Grand Jury testimony that it
was claimed backed Officer Wilson’s account, a murder many have called “retaliatory.”
Mr. Joshua was killed (shot in the head and his body partially burned within
his car) on the first night of rioting.
At any rate, contrary to media reports, the black
community in Ferguson has been far from monolithic and the media (like the
wealthy and entitled whites most of them are) didn’t report on any of the
stories of black nobility and decency.
Sadly, it kinda figures. Well-off, entitled people in
the media and politics tend to sympathize with “their own,” and today, no group
is more entitled than African-Americans.
Still, despite all that, there were many, MANY
examples of heroic actions by black Americans (from testifying before the grand
Jury, to defending businesses from rioters) and they should NOT be overlooked.
In at least one instance, armed black men came out
to defend the white-owned business in which they worked; http://www.ijreview.com/2014/11/209370-34-reason-four-armed-black-ferguson-residents-showed-white-owned-business-may-surprise/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1750&listID=
Terrence Williams, 23 y/o and a prospective St Louis
policeman and former ROTC leader in High School has been busying himself
cleaning up the streets after the rioting;
