'Don't Make the Black Kids Angry': The hoax of black victimization and those who enable it.

Page 46

by Colin Flaherty


  “There is a well known fact that the African American community here in the United States of America is still suffering from the traumatic syndrome of slavery,” Shabazz said. “That is compounded with the many effects that are happening in today’s society with our young people and the things they are seeing, and there is definitely a shift of mental capacity of their ability to make good decisions. That results in gun violence.”

  Shabazz went on to talk about the “mental illness that our young people are suffering in order for our young people to be able to take life so aimlessly.”

  She pointed to the recent movie 12 Years a Slave to illustrate her diagnosis. In one scene, a slave is hung from a tree with a rope around his neck and must stand on his tiptoes for a long period of time to survive. Many people saw the slave in distress but did not help him.

  Shabazz says that is the situation with black people today.

  “That mentality is still going on,” she told her council colleagues. And it is “not a natural phenomena. It is not in the nature of the African American to act in self-destruction.”

  The Wilmington News Journal reported on the council action, but neglected to mention in its news stories the connection between the violence and the legacy of slavery that Shabazz talked about.

  Shabazz did not explain who is playing the role of slave master. Or what they are doing to endanger so many black people in Wilmington. Or if the black men and women who serve as mayor, city council president and city council members are also afflicted by this disease.

  The councilwoman’s comments came after a series of news stories and violent incidents in Wilmington that left the council grappling for new solutions to what are now old problems: Shootings. Stabbings. Violence. Drugs. Mayhem.

  The city had a record 150 shootings in 2013, with 22 fatalities. Most of the shooters are black, as are the victims.

  They call it thugicide.

  Other council members lined up to support the Shabazz diagnosis and co-sponsor her resolution. Some offered their own visions in council chambers -- or on Facebook.

  City Councilwoman Maria Cabrera posted an article on her Facebook page with a complementary point of view that is also very popular in Wilmington political circles: Sometimes known as the “Freeway Did It” analysis: The article points to the destruction of several hundred homes in Wilmington 50 years ago to make way for Interstate 95 as the tipping point that led to the epic levels of crime and violence in the city.

  City councilman Trippi Congo, one of two funeral directors on the council, blamed police. Congo says they are not friendly enough. Congo also blasted the local newspaper and the WDEL radio station for not reporting enough good stories about the city -- that several national news organizations have reported as one of the most dangerous in the country.

  Congo said the stories about violence somehow encourage and create more violence and said other council members agree with him that local media should report fewer crime stories.

  “I wish the newspaper headlines would read: A majority of the kids in this town are good people not trying to break the law,” said councilmember Loretta Walsh.

  Trying? Guess that’s a start.

  Earlier in December 2013, a suburban diner was robbed and attacked while visiting one of the city’s older Italian restaurants, Mrs. Robino’s. Several commenters to the story at the News Journal web site were upset the paper wrote a story about it:[914]

  “I do not find an article about the incident in the News Journal is warranted,” said Jackie Chrimbes. “She gets to go back to her lovely home in Hockessin, when, the people who live in Wilmington put up with this everyday.”

  That person is only following the dictates of an economic development consultant who recently advised the council and citizens they have to stop talking about the epic levels of crime and violence.

  Apparently that is not appealing to some folks. Not everyone got on board.

  Some were unhappy that the local newspaper appears to be complicit in covering up this vast wave of mentally ill induced racial criminality. Said John Engleman:

  The News Journal thinks it is contributing to racial harmony by not reporting the truth that the vast majority of violent crimes committed in our violent city are committed by young black men. It is not fooling anyone.

  I woke up from Martin Luther King's dream when two black teenagers robbed me at gunpoint. Since then I would like to wake up from the nightmare of black crime. Unfortunately, it is not a dream. It is a reality.

  Oops, how did that get in there?

  When Mrs. Robino opened the doors to her restaurant in 1940, the demographics of the city were different: The city’s population had just peaked at 112,000: 89 percent white. 11 percent black.

  Today, the city has 40 percent fewer residents: 27 percent of them are white, 60 percent black. So the urgency to cure this mental illness has never been greater.

  In November 2013, a state police officer was shot on the streets of Wilmington in the middle of the afternoon. Some said it was an ambush. Others said the trooper wandered into the middle of an otherwise routine gunfight.

  The police responded with dozens of cars, more than 50 officers from several agencies, and at least one helicopter.

  Several council members echoed comments in a video at the News Journal site from people who live near the shooting. One person said he did not like the fact that more police responded to the shooting of the officer than when a regular citizen is shot. [915]

  “I ain’t happy because I lost a couple of friends and we did not get this much attention for nothing,’ said James Warner. “He (is) human just like us. So we should all be treated equal. They are not better than us,” he said.

  Councilwoman Cabrera said the response was “excessive.” And other council members echoed her comments.

  Wilmington is just one of dozens of cities in America where criminals are more popular than the police.

  At the Wilmington City Council, they even have their own lobbyists. The council members themselves.

  Marlin Newburn said he does not have to ask the CDC who is responsible for the lawlessness that dominates Wilmington life: He says the people who ignore it, condone and excuse and deny it are the ones at fault -- as much or more than -- the criminals.

  Newburn is talking about the members of the Wilmington City Council -- where one party rule has dominated city hall since at least the time of Mrs. Robino’s opening.

  During his 30-year career as a prison and court appointed psychologist, Newburn has seen racial violence and denial -- on personal and collective levels. As is the case with the Wilmington City Council.

  This is the zenith of denial, a complete rejection of personal responsibility. Centers for Disease Control? Are you kidding?! Just how ignorant are these "leaders?"

  The character of the citizen creates a community atmosphere. If a kid knows someone in power will make excuses for their predation, they will be empowered.”

  Just keep this hard and fast rule in mind when addressing government "caring.

  Whatever behavior is defended, financed, excused, and where personal responsibility is displaced, you will get more of the behavior.

  Preach on, brother.

  It would not be fair to blame just the city council. The message of racist oppression is also heard from the pulpits of the city’s black churches.

  The pastor of one of the largest black congregations in the state said: “This violence in our community – you don’t think it has something to do with the last 400 years?” Rev. Lawrence M. Livingston told the News Journal, “We didn’t create this stuff – all this mess.”

  The comments came just a few days after a crowd of black people beat a white clergyman near Livingston’s church in Wilmington.

  And let’s not forget the white liberals. David Facciola is one of Wilmington’s most distinguished attorneys and civil rights activists. In July 2014, Philadelphia Magazine published yet another survey pronouncing Wilmington to be, yet ag
ain, the most dangerous city of its size in America.

  Facciolo took to his Facebook pages to denounce the report for taking crime statistics out context. His other liberal buddies chimed in with the ‘Wilmington is really safe’ mantra.

  Less than three hours after posting his Wilmington is safe message, police were involved in a running gun battle with several black people that finished one block from where David Facciolo grew up. Three blocks from where we attended school together.

  And four blocks from where I write these words.

  You wanted to know what all this black mob violence is about. Now you know.

  See You Next Time.

  The End. This book is not finished as much as it is abandoned.

  I have to stop somewhere. But just when I think I will, readers of White Girl Bleed a Lot bring me back in.

  In the last 24 hours, I posted a column from a Washington Post where the writer talked about her black son being suspended from pre-school three times for punching, throwing furniture, and other dangerous behavior.

  He is three years old. The writer says it is all about white racism.

  Less than a day later, a reader sent me a video of a black child playing skee ball at an arcade. While an unidentified person videos, the child walks up the lane, sits down and starts throwing balls into the slots.

  No big deal.

  Then he walks across the other lanes and tries to take skee balls from a rack belonging to another child. The mother of that child stops him, then gently lifts him and sends him on his way. All the time looking for anything resembling a parent.

  The child turns and spits at the mother, several times. Saying lots of bad things too. That child was three was well.

  Then there was the mass shoplifting in Portland.

  The Knockout Game in Seattle.

  All on video.

  And on and on and on: It just does not stop.646
