Sheriff David Clarke: My message for America's black community - It's time to leave.

[Wombat]

Sheriff Clarke is a impressive LEO no doubt it he has his finger on the pulse of it.:thumbsup

The Democrat National Convention seems to be mirroring for the American people exactly the kind of disarray and contempt for truth, laws, and order that progressive policies will continue wreak on the country, if given the chance to lead.

It's difficult to imagine how this party's Philadelphia party could get any worse, but the legacy of Wasserman Schultz will live on later this week when the relatives of those killed in police-related shootings are trotted out and put on full display for the cameras. The purpose of this show-and-tell we don't need Wikileaks to help us see.

While the Republican National Convention focused on the role of law and order in restoring the American dream for all her people, the Democrats are continuing their fifty-year assault on the Black community, adding to it this season with the normalization of criminal behavior and demonization of law enforcement.

What an amazing speech! :thumbsup

If only half of them realize the truth, fuck that would be huge!

Clarke is the man!:thumbsup

 

[brgrcru]

Sheriff Clark is one outstanding American hero. :thumbsup

 

[Old Texan]

Someone that gets it, yet will he be heard?

The DNC is dug in to maintain power and the way they do it is of little consequence as far as what is good for the nation's societal condition. Clark needs a lot more help in making the message heard and when will he get that help?

When I see the number of black and other minority Police Chiefs and Sheriffs across the nation, I can't understand why more are not coming forward with similar messages to Clarks. These are the folks that can open the communication channels and have far better results in changing negative attitudes.

 

[rivermobster]

Well spoken. 👍

A great man, too bad he doesn't have enough tax dollars to buy votes back from the democrats plantation slaves.

I could see myself better understanding your viewpoint had the actions of Hillary Clinton & the DNC not transpired last night...

Democrats had one of the rarest opportunities to really make a meaningful statement last night at the DNC and they chose to make it political and divisive instead.

Clinton invited the black mothers who's children have been killed by gangs, police, etc... to speak last night. It would've been an impressive opportunity for those woman to share the stage with the families of the policeman murdered as a sign of real meaningful change and to see the heartache both sides can share from our current divisions today.

Instead, Democrats chose the political path and to keep the division festering. Minorities largely lean Democrat at the voter booth. Last night was a clear indicator that Dem's have no interest in meaningful change. Keeping the political climate divisive keeps the votes rolling in and minorities can't see it.

Sad state of affairs for sure.

Democrats need the issue, not results to change the outcome. Abortion, Guns, Religion, BLM and so on and so on. If the issues were fixed or in some way the issue satisfied, they wouldn't have anything to blame on Republicans. The Dems need controversy to sell their particular brand of BS to the masses.

 

[500bbc]

So who are you voting for Chill?

His master, he will thank LBJ when he does.

 

[Old Texan]

I'm what I consider a typical white person in a typical community. We have our share of minor crimes. There is the occasional murder even. But in general all I know about the communities where rampant crime and physical altercations including murder are daily events, is what I get from the news. And this goes beyond white people. The typical black, hispanic, and other varied races also live in communities like mine apart from the troubled ones. We all combined cannot solve the issues we are not directly involved with

We're in no position to make decisions or support decisions that concern these problem communities. Those communities must solve their own issues. At least find away to better communicate the issues with government agencies that can help effect change.

I do not know in fact what Chilly is looking for as far a posted solution. So it makes little sense to try and pass the buck of responsibility on to others.:rolleyes

Are you kidding me here??? This will never happen!!! lol

The dems can easily hand a well written speech to some criminals mama, and train her to read it word for word. Do you think they could do that to a slain police officers family?

Not in our lifetimes. No sir. The libs are deathly afraid of the truth.

Fucking libtards. Their intions are beyond belief. It's hard to believe anyone with a brain can support these fucktards. :thumbsdown

I'm curious what you think "white Americans" should do.

By the way,until we stop grouping Americans;black Americans,white Americans,etc,and all come together as simply Americans,nothing will change.

As requested:

That white Americans don't by and large see what people of color see doesn't mean that white folks are horrible people, of course; nor does it suggest that whites are all inveterate racists who don't care about the impediments to opportunity still facing our black and brown brothers and sisters. But what it does suggest is a degree of isolation and provincialism that should lead us to think twice before pontificating about a subject that we simply don't have to know nearly as well as those who are the targets of it.
When more than half of blacks and a third of Hispanics report that they have experienced unfair treatment in public places at some point just in the last month because of their race, for whites to deny the seriousness of racism in America is to say, in effect, that folks of color are hallucinating, irrational or ignorant about their own lived experience.
It is to say that we white folks know black and brown reality better than those who live it -- perhaps because we are more intelligent or level-headed (which arguments would be inherently racist of course).

Sadly, white denial of this sort has a long and ignoble pedigree. Even in the early 1960s, prior to the passage of the monumental civil rights legislation of that decade, most white Americans didn't really see the problem. Though civil rights icons like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are venerated as heroes today by most, including by large numbers of whites, when King was alive, most white folks saw very little need for the movement of which he was such an integral part.
In 1963, for instance, more than six in 10 whites told Gallup pollsters that blacks were treated equally with whites in their communities, a number that grew to 75% the year before Dr. King was killed (but at which point the Fair Housing Act still hadn't been passed). Even more tellingly, in 1962, fully 85% of whites told Gallup that black children had the same chance as white children to obtain a high quality education.
Such beliefs might strike us as delusional in retrospect, of course, but that's the point: Unless we believe that white

Americans have somehow become amazingly attuned to the experiences of persons of color in the last half-century (and more so than those people of color are, with regard to their own experiences) -- even as our parents and grandparents clearly failed to discern truth from fiction -- it seems that we should probably think twice before trusting white perceptions when it comes to the state of racial discrimination in this country.
If we were so oblivious even when racism was formally embedded in every fiber of the nation's being -- when the U.S. was an official apartheid country -- what in the world would lead us to believe that we had suddenly become keen interpreters of black and brown folks' lives?
Dangerous denial
Although white denial has been a constant throughout American history, one thing about today's version of it seems potentially more dangerous than that of past generations, and it is this fact more than any other which should give us pause.
In the past, white obliviousness was of a more genuinely naive sort -- in other words, most white folks really did think, absurd though it sounds, that everything was just fine, not only for ourselves but for black folks too -- but today's denial comes wrapped in a patina of resentment and anxiety.
Today, it is not just that whites fail to see the obstacles still faced by persons of color; rather, too many of us apparently believe the tables have turned and now it is we who face those obstacles.

Denial mixed with perceived victimhood and an unhealthy dose of nostalgia is far worse than denial of a purely ignorant type. For whites to not know black and brown reality is bad enough; but for us to literally invert black and brown reality with our own, and to believe that we are the ones who are being victimized, is a recipe for increased tension and acrimony. It is certainly no way to build multiracial democracy.
Only by challenging white denial -- and that means we white folks challenging our own -- can we turn back the rising tide of white anxiety, which has manifested most recently in the campaigns of Donald Trump, the backlash against Syrian refugees and the growing hostility to Black Lives Matter protesters.
In moments like this, we must proclaim not only that black and brown lives matter, despite a society that has rarely acted as such, but that facts matter, too; and as always, the facts suggest that white America still has some waking up to do.

This sentence is all one needs to read.

I have a good friend, black, one of nicest most personable people I have ever met.
He's a Libtard though and buys into the Chilly train of brainwashed idiocy. He has been conditioned to constantly look for racism as the answer, hell, the question to everything. To his wife, Honey I just had a great job interview, I don't think he likes black folk though (he got the job). Honey I'm up for a raise but well I'm black so that aint gonna happen (he got the raise, the new position, relocation stipend and a house). Brad, I'd love to go on your fishing trip but, well, I don't see a lot of black folk on the boat. Shit James I forgot to take pictures of them to make you feel welcome, got some Asians though, is that close enough?

My favorite quote, verbatim from him though " Brad, your dogs don't like me because I'm black and liberal".

Me? "No James, they don't give a fuck you're black".




You're a sick man Chilly, brainwashed, a dupe, owned lock stock and barrel by your modern day slave masters.

Just check LBJ's quote, you make him quite prophetic.


Good luck to you in your self imposed life of misery.

From a son of immigrants.
how did people immigrate here, in the 50's with nothing. ( my Dad $20 in his pocket. thought he was steeling food, when he wore his big jacket on the ship, stuffed all pockets full of food. until someone told him its free. he ate like a king, until he came a shore..Because he lived in Germany through the war. there was no food. only potatoes they grew. mom was bombed out of there house a few times in Yugoslavia > Croatia. fled to Austria, put in non Jew concentration camp, with little food and separated from her family. and then made it here in 1952 with only the stuff she could carry.)

both suffered so much more then you or I can imagine . yet they somehow worked there ass off and lived the american dream. along with millions of others, who lost everything. you think it was easy for them? my dad being German? my mom being a displaced person. they only asked one thing from this country. that was please let me become a US citizen.
I am first generation american. Notice no hyphenated bull shit
I grew up here being called a Nazi. I played soccer and people looked at me funny. lol that was enough torture.

after 50 years of believing the democrat party is for minorities and nothing has changed isn't it time ti wake the fuck up? I know plenty of black, gay, Asian, and who ever else that has succeed in life and believe me, non believe what you do 2chill.

Just a little story.
so in the end. you can call us white privilege bs. my family came from nothing and in 1 generation, through hard work, family values, morals and religion, are living the American
dream.
its possible, no matter what color, creed, religion you are. stop blaming people for your hardships. you make your own life.

In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves. According to the US census report for that last year before the Civil War, there were nearly 27 million whites in the country. Some eight million of them lived in the slaveholding states.

The census also determined that there were fewer than 385,000 individuals who owned slaves. Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 percent of southern whites owning one or more slaves).

The figures show conclusively that, when free, blacks disproportionately became slave masters in pre-Civil War America. The statistics outlined above show that about 28 percent of free blacks owned slaves?as opposed to less than 4.8 percent of southern whites, and dramatically more than the 1.4 percent of all white Americans who owned slaves.

By the time the 60's came around the majority of slave owners were BLACK WOMEN.

Less than .5% of the "whites" in America ever owned slaves on the average from the time the first boat landed.

More than 18% of the "blacks" in America owned slaves as free negroes, right up and through the civil rights movment.

You Americans need to get your history right, and stop blaming us "white" Americans.

We feel no need for any "reparations" or "guilt" because the lies the tards tell you are simply not true, read it for yourself.

Are you kidding me here??? This will never happen!!! lol

The dems can easily hand a well written speech to some criminals mama, and train her to read it word for word. Do you think they could do that to a slain police officers family?

Not in our lifetimes. No sir. The libs are deathly afraid of the truth.

Fucking libtards. Their intions are beyond belief. It's hard to believe anyone with a brain can support these fucktards. :thumbsdown


(I'm starting to sound like regor, somebody shoot me now!!!)

That's not a very positive post mobster! Someone once told me................

Hey Bobby, he's my friend now!!!! :finger

In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves. According to the US census report for that last year before the Civil War, there were nearly 27 million whites in the country. Some eight million of them lived in the slaveholding states.

The census also determined that there were fewer than 385,000 individuals who owned slaves. Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 percent of southern whites owning one or more slaves).

The figures show conclusively that, when free, blacks disproportionately became slave masters in pre-Civil War America. The statistics outlined above show that about 28 percent of free blacks owned slaves?as opposed to less than 4.8 percent of southern whites, and dramatically more than the 1.4 percent of all white Americans who owned slaves.

By the time the 60's came around the majority of slave owners were BLACK WOMEN.

Less than .5% of the "whites" in America ever owned slaves on the average from the time the first boat landed.

More than 18% of the "blacks" in America owned slaves as free negroes, right up and through the civil rights movment.

You Americans need to get your history right, and stop blaming us "white" Americans.

We feel no need for any "reparations" or "guilt" because the lies the tards tell you are simply not true, read it for yourself.

Merchandising Racism is Big Business.
History is the last thing they would want the low-information population to get straight once and for all. The plan started at the schools and they did everything they could to keep it that way with things like free electronic pacifiers. Look how that has turned out....its getting uglier by the day.

Its not that complicated to conclude what the Game is all about. Intelligent People can get all that...but the population of the low-information crowd has grown soo large, all by design, that the entire agenda is running away so much faster that it can be reversed.

Like I keep saying....we're on our own from here on out.
I can get on the phone right now and call several Black people, Brown, Asian...etc...it doesn't matter, and each of us have a great respect for one another and would do anything to keep it that way. They know what's going on.. and so do I.

But it does make ya want to slap the living shit out the people creating this ongoing problem. It sucks.

Awe hell.
If we're just going to copy and paste shit I'll just leave this here.Because,white folks have never faced discrimination here.

American political cartoon by Thomas Nast titled "The Usual Irish Way of Doing Things", depicting a drunken Irishman lighting a powder keg and swinging a bottle. Published 2 September 1871 in Harper's Weekly.
Anti-Irish sentiment or Hibernophobia may refer to or include racism, oppression, bigotry, persecution, discrimination, hatred or fear of Irish people as an ethnic group or nation, whether directed against Ireland in general or against Irish emigrants and their descendants in the Irish diaspora.

It is traditionally rooted in the medieval period, and is also evidenced in Irish emigration to North America, Australasia, and Great Britain. Anti-Irish feeling can include both social and cultural discrimination in Ireland itself, such as sectarianism or cultural religious political conflicts in the Troubles of Northern Ireland.

Discrimination towards Irish Travellers, an Irish minority group, is evident in both the Republic of Ireland[1][2] and the United Kingdom.[3]

As requested:

That white Americans don't by and large see what people of color see doesn't mean that white folks are horrible people, of course; nor does it suggest that whites are all inveterate racists who don't care about the impediments to opportunity still facing our black and brown brothers and sisters. But what it does suggest is a degree of isolation and provincialism that should lead us to think twice before pontificating about a subject that we simply don't have to know nearly as well as those who are the targets of it.
When more than half of blacks and a third of Hispanics report that they have experienced unfair treatment in public places at some point just in the last month because of their race, for whites to deny the seriousness of racism in America is to say, in effect, that folks of color are hallucinating, irrational or ignorant about their own lived experience.
It is to say that we white folks know black and brown reality better than those who live it -- perhaps because we are more intelligent or level-headed (which arguments would be inherently racist of course).

Sadly, white denial of this sort has a long and ignoble pedigree. Even in the early 1960s, prior to the passage of the monumental civil rights legislation of that decade, most white Americans didn't really see the problem. Though civil rights icons like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are venerated as heroes today by most, including by large numbers of whites, when King was alive, most white folks saw very little need for the movement of which he was such an integral part.
In 1963, for instance, more than six in 10 whites told Gallup pollsters that blacks were treated equally with whites in their communities, a number that grew to 75% the year before Dr. King was killed (but at which point the Fair Housing Act still hadn't been passed). Even more tellingly, in 1962, fully 85% of whites told Gallup that black children had the same chance as white children to obtain a high quality education.
Such beliefs might strike us as delusional in retrospect, of course, but that's the point: Unless we believe that white

Americans have somehow become amazingly attuned to the experiences of persons of color in the last half-century (and more so than those people of color are, with regard to their own experiences) -- even as our parents and grandparents clearly failed to discern truth from fiction -- it seems that we should probably think twice before trusting white perceptions when it comes to the state of racial discrimination in this country.
If we were so oblivious even when racism was formally embedded in every fiber of the nation's being -- when the U.S. was an official apartheid country -- what in the world would lead us to believe that we had suddenly become keen interpreters of black and brown folks' lives?
Dangerous denial
Although white denial has been a constant throughout American history, one thing about today's version of it seems potentially more dangerous than that of past generations, and it is this fact more than any other which should give us pause.
In the past, white obliviousness was of a more genuinely naive sort -- in other words, most white folks really did think, absurd though it sounds, that everything was just fine, not only for ourselves but for black folks too -- but today's denial comes wrapped in a patina of resentment and anxiety.
Today, it is not just that whites fail to see the obstacles still faced by persons of color; rather, too many of us apparently believe the tables have turned and now it is we who face those obstacles.

Denial mixed with perceived victimhood and an unhealthy dose of nostalgia is far worse than denial of a purely ignorant type. For whites to not know black and brown reality is bad enough; but for us to literally invert black and brown reality with our own, and to believe that we are the ones who are being victimized, is a recipe for increased tension and acrimony. It is certainly no way to build multiracial democracy.
Only by challenging white denial -- and that means we white folks challenging our own -- can we turn back the rising tide of white anxiety, which has manifested most recently in the campaigns of Donald Trump, the backlash against Syrian refugees and the growing hostility to Black Lives Matter protesters.
In moments like this, we must proclaim not only that black and brown lives matter, despite a society that has rarely acted as such, but that facts matter, too; and as always, the facts suggest that white America still has some waking up to do.

Fuck off.
100% of white people I know are reporting being treated unfairly as "racist".

Fucking crusader on a mission promoted by an admin geared to devide and subjegate.
Congrats Chill, you ARE the poster "person" (see what I did there?) for the perfect target of those who would fucking own you...and own me as well if they had their way.

Thanks for the source. Whether he does it intentionally or not, Chilly never gives the source of his C&P's. I chuckle if he thinks anyone buys them as his own words. He either is too lazy to post his own thoughts at any length or sadly believes what he posts are his real thoughts. I do think he has some valid points of his own, but just to obstinate, lazy, or unwilling to share from within rather than try and pass off words of others.

The conundrum of Chilly's demands we white folk can't get through to him, is he wants us to see the world as it is seen through the eyes of blacks, yet he counters his own wishes with his insistence that whites can never see the world as it is seen through the eyes of blacks. And frankly I'm unsure he realizes what he sees isn't what all blacks see. Especially since he cherry picks his C&P's to meet criteria he wants to see.

I'm at the point of believing he really doesn't care if white folks actually try to help the black community overcome real or perceived issues. Rather he just wants to blame white folk for the issues many blacks refuse to take as personal responsibility. The black community as a whole gets it. They understand what it takes to be successful and fit into a colorless society as just plain human beings. It's the segment, generally in segregated by choice communities that crave things they won't give the effort to achieve, ones that are jealous of others who have risen above the hate, those that realize street crime is the issue, not the LE forced to deal with it. Those who will not step up and show community pride to better their surroundings on their own.

Chilly is on an impossible mission so it seems. He posts tales of white guilt, yet he can't look inside himself to realize it's his own black guilt that eats away at his conscience. He looks at the situation in Chicago and feels guilty he lives where this shit isn't part of everyday life. He can't be objective when a street thug who terrorizes his own community tries to harm a cop and gets himself killed. It has to be the cop's fault regardless of the facts.

Chilly is like the BLM folks that openly protest. Black lives matter? Hell yes they matter. But all lives matter and what they can't understand is the individual responsibility to protect one's own life......How in the hell can I protect Michael Brown from being killed if Michael Brown is too stupid to realize trying to take a loaded service weapon from a cop is going to end his life 9 times out of 10. If Michael Brown's own life doesn't matter to himself, how in the hell can it matter to myself or others???????
