It's been quite a while since I threw a rant, but this nonsense in Ferguson has me all riled up. The fucking city is on fire.
I can't say that I am surprised in the least. It didn't matter that a Grand Jury pored over the facts for months on end, it ultimately didn't matter that a three hundred pound six foot four giant attacked a cop and tried to take his gun, and it didn't matter that the system worked as designed, because in the end, these people wanted to riot, so that's just what they did.
Rather than accept the truth and condemn Michael Browns actions that afternoon, and rather than condemn those that burned the town down the previous time, the "protesters" decided to continue burning down their own village. Want to have a discussion? Then act civilized. I am so completely tired of the race hustlers on the left telling me to "check my white privilege", because the last time I checked, there were zero programs designed for me. I don't get preference in government contracting, that’s for fucking sure. If I walked in to the local branch of AFDC, Food Stamps or welfare, they would look at me like I was a space alien or something, so fuck your white privilege.
The problem here is the government is far too willing to placate people instead of telling them to pull themselves out of the misery they create and perpetuate for themselves. Permanent “victimhood” will get you exactly nowhere, and lead to exactly what we see in East St. Louis, Detroit, Miami and a thousand other places just like them. I am sick and fucking tired of being told that my whiteness is the cause of all the worlds ills, and that if I just reach out and help [with my tax dollars] then some victim class or another will be able to move forward with greater ease and clarity of vision.
Horse shit.
I listened to some ding dong broad with a perfect coif, standing in the middle of a road, ostensibly in Ferguson, explaining to the viewers how “civil unrest” like this is a healthy expression of disappointment or some such shit. The left wants so badly to blame this on white society they are falling all over themselves apologizing for something they neither had anything to do with nor should feel any responsibility for. How pathetic have we become as a society?
Want to have a discussion about the disproportionate percentages of criminal arrests among young black men, then be honest about it and hit out at the root problem, don’t blame me because I don’t have anything to do with it. Want change? Before any meaningful change can come about, a very hard discussion ahs to be had about the destruction of the intact black household and the removal of all traces of God from American institutions. In addition, the culture of dependency must be broken. Permanently and irretrievably shattered. The notion that a woman is perfectly capable of raising a family on her own and without a husband is beyond absurd. Unless we’re talking about a college educated career professional, it is not possible. To raise children and do so properly takes an enormous input of time, energy and resources. A working mother has precious little of any of these things. The absence of a father can only lead to less supervision and less than optimal home lives.
While I agree in principle that police in our country have become far less tolerant and far more abusive, I would also say that people in general have become less civilized. I see people walking around glued to their telephones as if they were vital organs. In the less well maintained areas of our area, I see groups of young men gathered in front of convenience stores and liquor stores, as if somehow they will find opportunities there. Young people have become so disengaged that they appear to be living their lives vicariously through others, as they wait in quiet dissonance for someone to provide for them, since after all, they told us in school that government is the answer to all of our problems. Failure to thrive is a term that I think aptly describes a large portion of those “protesters” we saw on television waving banners and blaming others for their lot in life. They forgot that success is entirely dependent upon drive, hard work and self sacrifice, exactly the things our government takes away from those receiving government largess. Without a feeling of personal satisfaction from having actually produced something worthwhile, one can never know true freedom of self and personal worth.
There are those who would say I am too harsh, and that I should be a bit less judgmental. Still others would say that if we eliminate these programs the poor children would starve. I say that we should start teaching people how to fish, and stop giving them fish for free.
Don’t want to be pre-judged? Then back away from the sleeve tats, pull out the ear gauges and nose rings, pull up those pants and turn down the bass, because society at large is not impressed. Don’t want to be pre-judged? Then put yourself out there as though you wish to participate in society, not as someone that wants everything for free. Don’t want to be pre-judged? Then finish school, stop having babies at fifteen like if it’s some kind of badge of honor, instead find a job, get married someday and support the children you create, rather than demand that I support them. If you are a man and you created those children, then get a fucking job and help raise them. Instill some values and morals in them. Teach them right from wrong and stop glamorizing the thug culture and making them believe their only salvation is to become a rap star or NBA player. While you’re at it, stop flash mob behavior, like rampaging through a mall or a park, randomly assaulting innocent people, just because they are white, it’s getting old, it really is.
The answers the people of Ferguson are looking for already exist, and they can be found inside each one of them if they choose to look there.$.02
Sorry about the rant.
