Many black Americans feel that safety and concern is limited to white Americans. That the prime focus of America is centered around the well being of white people. That problems are only problems if whites are endangered and we as black people are often ignored when we are in trouble or presented as the victimizers of whites. An example of our neglect is the late response to Hurricane Katrina. Many African Americans felt neglected by the U.S. government because they were not given transportation to evacuate and many blacks were being threatened with guns to prevent looting which is ridiculous because the stores were destroyed and those items wouldn't be able to be sold anyway. Many blacks were left hungry and displaced as well as others who died. The ten year anniversary had many blacks angry at former President Bush for going to New Orleans and many of our black youth smiling as if he had not neglected their town a decade ago. White plight on the other hand is treated totally different when whites are in trouble there is a level of sympathy. When the drug epidemic emerged in America it was only taken seriously after white teens started over dosing. Before the drugs spread over to middle class white America many African American babies were being thrown in the trash by crack addicted mothers. Even worse it has been speculated since the trial of FreeWay Rick Ross that the C.I.A. were given orders from President Reagan to provide cocaine to black gangs and drug dealers to sell in the poor black neighborhoods. Yet, crack offenders especially blacks were given long sentences in prison. White drug usage is always shown as a mistake that can be fixed and pathos is always present in their rhetoric.
Often times the greatest concern is protecting whites from black people. This can be seen in our constant survelliance. Many blacks have faced harassment by police officers. A small infraction such as a blown tail light can end in a car search an arrest or just an annoying inconvenience. Any threat against white Americans is handled swiftly. The 20 year old man, Carlos Anthony Hollins, who allegedly tweeted "TONIGHT WE PURGE! KILL ALL THE WHITE PPL IN THE TOWN OF LA PLATA" was arrested. They also responded to the black woman who created a meme that depicted her holding a gun and stating "It's open season on white people". She was arrested at her home and is now out. Even the Eric Shepphard case was handled with extreme caution because he was apart of the viral videos called the Stomp the Flag Challenge. He also spoke of the pain whites have caused blacks throughout history and a book bag that allegedly belonged to him was found on his college campus and a gun was inside it. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he was in jail and is out but not allowed on social media along with other restrictions. The irony of this is a white Texas man made a video while holding a gun and threatening the Black Lives Matter movement and he was never arrested. Why? Because he is a white man threatening a group that has a large amount of black people. He is a racist and white racism is often given a pass because it reflects the ideology of the people who pass laws and enforce them. The Hacktivist just outed 80 KKK members many who are senators mayors and policeman. The KKK have killed more people than Muslim terrorist yet we focus on Arab, Pakistani and Nigerian terrorist as being a threat. I have looked on Twitter and seen many tweets that call for killing n-words and Muslims and I reported them but that didn't make the news. There were no policeman at the front door, no warrants for anyone's arrest. We as black people know who the cherished are and who are the oppressed. We know who runs this country and what they stand for. America the land that speaks of freedom but limits it based on color that fasely stands for justice but operates a crooked system. How blessed I would be to be born white.

Of course it's their goal to protect the ones who helped steal this kkkuntry. We either have to By Any & All Means take it back, or leave it behind.

I was true during the days of Dred Scott in the 1850's & just as true today, "The black man has no rights that the white man is bound to respect."

Take a closer look at the constitution. They still don't consider blacks as men, so all the rights and protections given to "men" in the constitution, don't apply too blacks. And they have been applying that philosophy since. 11/4/2015 07:07:57 am
Strong words here that unfortunately too many Black people know to be true, but it's the reality of our traditionally White supremacist nation.

This article written by Ms. Kikis is extraordinary disturbing and accurately correct as it sites incidences proving statistically that, there are two set of laws in America one for Caucasians and another for Negros. She clearly exposes the ever present racism epidemic that oppresses Black American communities throughout this country. This article needs to be assimilated throughout the Black community and every Civil Rights Movements and Organizations need to not only read it? But study it in-depth thus afterwards developed as strategy based on the information articulated in it. Comments are closed.
