The Blame Game.

The broadcast Media is beside itself with joy over the Ferguson uproar. What mayhem. What emotional outpouring. What condemnations. What a delicious Blame Game. The actors who call themselves journalists, the media corporations and the professional race baiters are clear winners. The losers are everyone else. Michael Brown lost his life and shouldn’t have. But let’s be painfully honest. He’s the first person to blame — for robbing a store and assaulting the store clerk. Second, blame the store clerk for not carrying a gun, detaining Brown and calling the cops. Third, blame the bystanders at the store who stood by and did nothing, including Brown’s friend. Fourth, blame Brown’s parents and friends for their roles in supporting and defending his behavior and lifestyle. Fifth, blame the entire African American culture that glorifies violence, ignorance, immorality, victimhood and racism. Sixth, blame the national black leadership for stoking the fire of black racism to further their own political and celebrity ambitions. Seventh, blame Darren Wilson for lack of judgment under duress. Eighth, blame Obama, Holder and the Federal establishment for meddling in a local law enforcement matter — further driving a wedge between black and white to expand Federal autonomy. Ninth, blame black gangs and hoodlums who use tragedies to riot, burn and pillage, proving by their very actions why law enforcement agencies tend to profile and target blacks. There is an inconvenient truth in this latest tragedy. The self-described African American community is losing the fight to clean its own house, as black on black crime and violence continues to escalate, as 75% of black children are born out of wedlock and as black culture continues to embrace an immoral counterculture. The racist divide has never been more glaring — a growing animosity. Blacks have never been more bitter, more strident, more outraged and dissatisfied; yet the country has a black President, a black attorney general, a slew of other black Federal officials in high positions, thousands of black entrepreneurs, wealthy black athletes, dominant black musicians and Hollywood celebrities, black police chiefs, mayors, etc. The black advance has been staggering by any measure; yet black resentment has never been as intense. You must leave it to professional clinicians to conduct a group psychoanalysis. Or to anthropologists to conduct a study of possible genetic factors. In the Ferguson aftermath, you’re compelled to ask a series of “if” questions: If Darren Wilson were black, would riots follow? If Wilson were black and Michael Brown white, would the white community riot and destroy property; and would Holder visit Ferguson? If Michael Brown had killed Officer Wilson, would the white community burn and pillage black businesses? The reaction of African Americans on the scene, behind the microphones and in the broadcast booths leads unerringly to one conclusion in this sorry business — they believe Wilson became a policeman to have an opportunity one day to kill a black man. They believe he happily risked his career, his family and his future to gun down an innocent boy — strictly because the boy was black. Michael Brown’s death, as tragic as it was — would have been back page news had one of his own race killed him. Young black men die every day, killed by young black men; and neither Barack Obama, Eric Holder or Al Sharpton gives a rip. And the Blame Game continues, fueled by Media moguls, laughing all the way to the bank.
