 Finally someone put the numbers to it.  Imagine if you took the

 illegals out of the picture too.  The US would not be spending

 billions and SS would be safe.

 ANALYSIS/OPINION:

 

 I know of no white person alive today in the United States who has

 ever legally owned a black slave, or any slave for that matter.

 Almost 700,000 mostly white men died 160 years ago to end slavery.

 Jim Crow ended generations ago. Yet black America, for the most part,

 is still locked in inner-city gang violence and economic hardship. Why?

 

 Is it because America is racist?  Is it because of some overhanging

 white supremacy?  Is it because of the Illuminati?

 

 No, unfortunately, it is because of black culture and the adoption of

 Democratic Party government dependency.

 

 We have just had eight years of the first black president.  Black

 athletes, and entertainers, routinely earn multi-million dollar incomes.

 I can easily name several black billionaires without even trying too

 hard. A large percentage of black America is very successful. But, it

 is not enough. Too many black youth are being left behind.

 

 And it is no one but black America’s fault.

 

 No one can solve this problem but black America.  No one can throw

 enough money at it.  We’ve tried that.  Black America needs to look

 in the mirror and stop blaming others, especially white people.

 

 I am obviously white and conservative, and I served in the military,

 which, during my time, was as color blind as you could be. I can also

 honestly say I don’t give a damn what color your skin is, neither do

 any of my friends.  I do care about your actions.

 

 Blacks are around 15 percent of the population. Depending on what

 study you look at, they commit around 40 percent to 50 percent of

 violent crime in America Of course, there is going to be a problem

 with police.  And, of course, there are some bad policemen. However,

 those bad apples do not kill black people statistically anymore than they kill white people.

 Even Harvard said that recently. If you were a cop, and you had to

 work in a neighborhood infested with crime and murder, wouldn’t you

 act differently than in a neighborhood where there was little crime?

 The most effective thing black America could do to improve its

 relationship with police is to significantly reduce violent crime

 where they live.  Yes, that means change the culture of where you live and your community.

 

 I for one am tired of being blamed.  I am tired of dealing with

 people who only want something from others.  I don’t oppress anyone. 

 I don’t hold anyone down.  I’m tired of getting on the D.C. metro and

 seeing white people being harassed by roaming gangs of black youth

 with their pants around their knees.  Yes, you want a white person uncomfortable?

 That makes me uncomfortable.  It’s our nation’s capital and it’s

 embarrassing.

 

 Blacks have nothing but opportunity in America.  Try finding the same

 opportunity anywhere else in the world.  If you are born in America

 you’ve won life’s economic lottery.  Take advantage of it.

 

 The problem is this generation has been taught an agenda of cultural

 Marxism by our education system.  They’ve been taught to be a victim,

 and it’s still going on.  All you have to do is watch the young

 black, female student at Yale screaming at the college president to understand that.

 Blacks in America don’t even know how good they got it.

 

 Don’t kneel when my anthem is played.  Too many people died for that

 flag.  You are free to protest but not then.  I am free to not watch,

 or pay to watch you play if you do that.  The NFL should make it a

 rule that you stand for the national anthem.  There is no free speech

 to disobey a private employer on private property.  This would solve

 the problem immediately.

 

 The NFL has deeply offended most of America.  They will pay an

 economic and reputational price, as they should.

 

 We have a real cultural problem in this country, the result of the

 Leftist multicultural agenda.  Multi-ethnicity is perfect and should

 be encouraged.  Having more than one American culture is destroying

 the country.  But then again, that is what the Left wants.

 

 

 

 Do Black Lives Matter?

 

 It is your job to determine if this is a racist rant or just a review

 of factual data...

 

 WHAT IF ALL THE BLACKS SUDDENLY LEFT AMERICA, WHICH IS 13.3% OF THE

 TOTAL

 U.S.POPULATION:

 Amount of people in poverty would drop - 34%, The prison population

 would go down by -37%, Welfare recipients would go down by - - - 42%,

 Gang members would go down by - - - - - 53% Chlamydia cases would go

 down - - - - - - 54%, Homelessness would go down - - - - - - - -57%

 Syphilis would go down  - - - - - - - - - - - - 58%.

 AIDS & HIV would go down by - - - - - - - -65%, Gonorrhea would go

 down - - - - - - - - - - -69%, Average ACT scores would go UP - - - -

 5.5 points.

 Average IQ would go UP - - - - - - - - - - - -7.4 points,  putting us

 3rd in the world tied with Japan, Average SAT scores would go UP

 almost - - - - -100 points, The average income for Americans would go

 UP over $20,000 a year,

 

 

 BUT DEMOCRATS WOULD LOSE 76% OF THEIR VOTING BASE!!!

 

 And, many criminal defense attorneys would have to find another line

 of work!

 

 Yes, Black lives DO matter!

 AJ adds: You doubt that black culture is responsible? The Oakland Urban Leage had done a study and found that the IQ of recent black immigrants was way above the IQ of blacks who were born here.
