Former president George W. Bush released a curious statement on Tuesday addressing the riots across the country: It remains a shocking failure that many African Americans, especially young African American men, are harassed and threatened in their own country…. This tragedy, in a long series of similar tragedies, raises a long overdue question: How do we end systemic racism in our society?… The doctrine and habits of racial superiority, which once nearly split our country, still threaten our Union. Bush may have meant well, but his words, being inaccurate, aren’t doing Americans any favors. As Heather Mac Donald wrote recently in City Journal,

At some point we're going to need to do more about the left than write editorials and comment at websites.

The biggest threat to young, African American men, are other young, African American men.
That's true on the streets in business, in school, and in relationships. I have met some white bigots. I have met many African American bigots, who are more vocal and more aggressive in their bigotry than even the white bigots I deplore. And they are in particular aggressive and even dangerous toward other African Americans who are not bigoted. Apparently, they should not have a choice to be polite, intelligent human beings.
I find the most bigoted Americans of any color are divided between the enabled uneducated young who threaten everyone who disagrees with their views and the college educated old, who write the scripts for the young bigots and then hire Hollywood and compliant media outlets to peddle their hate, usually using tax-payer dollars, to do it.

The lack of understanding the far left exists on multiple levels.
1) This is a global attack on America
2) The left will do anything to seize power
3) Once the wealth is seized the mechanisms that created it will have been destroyed
4) The seizure of wealth from the creators is a one time bounty for the thieves then there will be nothing else created to steal
5) There is no getting socialism/communism "right" and history will repeat itself

Both Bush and the talking ventriloquist's dummy from Kenya have been offering their words of wisdom to the media. Bush remains clueless and Obama attempted to start this mayhem during his reign but failed to motivate his people.

Ask yourself how the black community has really benefited from relying on Democrat promises over the last 60 years. Starting with L.B. Johnson's "Great Society" to Affirmative Action to every election year promise to save blacks from evil Republicans. Even 8 years of the Obama "Hope and Change" did little to help black unemployment, and conditions Democrat run cities don't seem to have helped. Now we have Democrats promising to de-fund or eliminate police (?). So now anarchy and a dystopian society will so the trick? Beating the racism drum is not the answer. If we had a fair, honest and impartial media it would help. As someone said: "there ain't no free lunch". We all have to work for it to be fair and survivable.

Unfortunately, the democrats and the ignorant attribute everything to racism. They don't understand, or care, that Police are sensitive to ''tells'' that raises their antenna. Many criminals exhibit certain characteristics, including behavior, demeanor, and even dress. There are far fewer Police racists than the racists among the black communities. Yes, yes, I know that blacks ''can't'' be racist, and if they are it's understandable- given the liberal apologists excuses.

One more comment. Remember when George Bush and Dick Cheney were trying to justify illegals in the country by saying "well, Americans won't do those kind of jobs?" Doesn't he realize that maybe some of his statement point to systemic racism?

If these groups (Democrats, one and all) put that much effort in planning how to riot, destroy, and steal stuff, how much more planning have they been putting into how to steal the election? In fact, I suspect these riots are part of that plan.

What would it take for POTUS to designate the Democratic Party as Terrorist?
They have sponsored, enacted and presented enough policies to destroy the USA which is their intent.
Just asking------------

Agree wholeheartedly #3
As for getting socialism / communism 'right' - the analogy I use is - it is similar to 'being able to flap your arms and fly' - a lot have tried, no one has succeeded because it simply doesn't work. No matter how you try to do it, you fail. Sounds great in theory - but human nature, among other things prevent its success and always will.

Two critical points in the article, the first is old news, but beard repeating.
Andrew McCarthy, former deputy US marshall, and former federal prosecutor:
"While African Americans are involved in two times more police shootings than their percentage of the population would seem to warrant, they commit 53 percent of murders and 60 percent of robberies—well over four times their percentage of the population.
And somewhat more chillingly, from New York’s top terrorism cop, Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller:
"“No. 1, before the protests began,” Miller said, “organizers of certain anarchist groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police.”
He added, “They prepared to commit property damage and directed people who were following them that this should be done selectively and only in wealthier areas or at high-end stores run by corporate entities. And they developed a complex network of bicycle scouts to move ahead of demonstrators in different directions of where police were and where police were not for purposes of being able to direct groups from the larger group to places where they could commit acts of vandalism including the torching of police vehicles and Molotov cocktails where they thought officers would not be.”
This is literal warfare, as yet without guns.
And the response of the leftists in charge is "disband the police". They leftists in charge are clearly working for the same goal as these organized, paid, anachists.
