White Racism Black Distrust and Crime




If you watch the TV news it would seem like African Americans (black People) kill each other every day.   Usually it is the lower income African Americans that kill each other.  Their crime and murders seem like they are impossible to stop.  When you don’t love yourself it’s easy to hurt, steal, and kill someone who looks like you.  

African Americans as a group rage and lament about White racism but rarely talk about in public about our collective mild self-hated and distrust of each other.  Most of us don’t want to go there, and they need to go there.  Drive thought the Black community and you will see the manifestation of our distrust and self-hate.  You will see many small businesses run by Koreans, Arabs, and other Americans.  You will see Black men hanging out looking very much unemployed.   Some are lazy, some do not have a work ethic, and most have not been educated or trained for jobs that are in demand.  

The activist and academics will argue the root cause of most of the ills in the African American community is White supremacy.   That White racism and discrimination created the self hatred, distrust, and tribalism that plague the African American community.  Most of us understand that so the challenge is to figure out how to build trust among African Americans.   The activist and academics need to figure out how to create and sustain crime free neighborhoods for low income African Americans.

African American (Black) activist, academics, preachers, politicians, and others who believe Black lives really matter should focus less on White racism and more ending the distrust among African Americans.

I Was Not Offended By Bill Maher’s Use Of The “N Word”






Bill Maher should not have used the “N Word”.  The controversy is a reminder we have not reconciled our past and present racial injustices against African Americans.

I'm a descendant of America’s slaves and I was not offended by Bill Maher’s use of the “N Word” and I thought his bad joke was funny. There was a time when I would have responded to someone asking me to "work in the fields"; I’m a house “N Word”, I am not a field “N Word”.

Many years ago the movement to abolish the use of the “N Word” has stop me from saying it.  Now I occasionally say Negro as a term of endearment or as a pejorative when needed.

Bill Maher has a history of being publicly incorrect.  Mr. Maher should tone down his incorrectness a little, and the American public should grow up a lot.

Bill Maher used the N-word on his show, HBO calls it 'completely inexcusable'
