On race relations today. . .

 

 Poll: Race relations at their worst point since 1992
. . . " 2012 was a year in which the president inflamed tensions around the death of a Florida teen that was presumed to be a racially-inspired homicide. Only a year later was the victim of that teen’s assault vindicated by a criminal jury. It was a year when the Supreme Court was determined to be a willing participant in a racial conspiracy after they ruled that a 47-year-old law was hopelessly dated and violated the principles of federalism." . . .

 . . . "It required substantial agitating by a professional class of provocateurs to create the conditions that finally led to violence in America’s streets."

Again, I must say that in frequent dealings with African-Americans in my community and in my church, I have experienced nothing but grace and friendliness from them. It leads one to think that there is some embarrassment over the evil things we all see in our society caused by this racial friction; that we want others to know we are all better than the Sharpton-Wright- Farrakhan Axis.  TD


 The logical outcome of the Sharpton-types being: ANOTHER BLACK MAN KILLS A COP

 “It’s with great regret and sadness that we announce the passing of New York City Police Officer Brian Moore. Shield number 469. New York City police officer, hero of the city, killed in the line of duty,’’ Police commissioner Bratton told reporters outside the hospital.

. . . " Well it has happened again, another black man kills a cop, but where is the outrage, where are the protests, is there an epidemic of blacks killing cops in this country? I don’t expect to see any outrage or protests, because in today’s upside down society the criminal, the bad guy, is the one that seems to get all the sympathy, the cops, the good guys, are the one’s being treated like the criminals." . . .

New York City Police Officer Brian Moore is seen in an undated picture released by the New York City Police Department. Moore, 25, a plainclothes police officer shot in the head over the weekend has died of his wounds, local media reported.

"Here is a novel idea for the black leaders, instead of protesting when a black criminal dies, why don’t you teach young black men not to be criminals. Communities would be safer, jails would not be over crowded and lives would be saved. Making martyrs out of criminals will only make way for more criminals."

 

Rev. Al expresses anger over the murder of this police officer. Um, what? Wait. Oops, my mistake.

 Al Jazeera takes note of the police shootings

 The Hot Air article above closes with this positive quote:

. . .  Despite the best efforts of a class of professional agitators, racial progress is quantifiable. That is not to say that racism is not an issue, racial progress is never stifled by its adversaries, or that racial disparities have entirely disappeared or perhaps ever will. There are persistent inequalities of outcomes among the races that should anger every American, and many of them are perpetuated by a cast of well-meaning public servants in Washington. Perhaps perfect racial equality and harmony is a utopian goal that will never be achieved. But those who contend that race relations have not improved with historically atypical alacrity lack the evidence to support this contention.
