There’s just simply going to be a difference of opinion on the matter of Michael Brown’s death. 99.99%+ of the people venting their outrage were not there when Brown was shot, nor were they present when the grand jury was given all available facts. What we are left with is an individual analysis with each person attempting to grasp what happened on that street in Ferguson, Missouri, and we simply don’t know what happened.
I have my own analysis and I am convinced that Darren Wilson acted appropriately; others are welcome to disagree.
However, what remains purely unacceptable is the reaction to the grand jury verdict. At a time when many in the black community are pointing to Brown’s death and clamoring for human dignity, the town of Ferguson erupted in violence in a most undignified way.
Allow me to be blunt: nothing delegitimizes one’s call for social justice quicker than setting fire to businesses and police cars.
What’s even more disturbing is that this was, in no way, a spontaneous combustion of rage. The threat of violence has loomed for weeks and the Missouri governor even called in the National Guard. The message from Brown supporters were telegraphed far in advance: indict and ultimately convict Wilson… or else.
It’s not new; this has happened before. Though I was young when L.A. was engulfed in the Rodney King riots, I remember them vaguely and questioned then, as I do now, what sense there was in destroying one’s own community to demonstrate against perceived injustice.
I’m still waiting for an answer.
Race relations in America are in shambles. The first black president had the unique opportunity to help lessen the divide but has, instead, used his influence to further divide. Like a military tactician, President Obama knows that a divided people are a more-easily conquered people.
Unfortunately, we are playing right into this trap. Consider the timing of President Obama’s announcement of executive amnesty; his announcement came one day before the expected grand jury decision. Though the grand jury delayed until Monday, ask yourself this: “With the violence in Ferguson, who is talking about Obama’s unilateral amnesty?”
It’s been three days and already, the illegal amnesty order is “old news.” Those who are too busy arguing about Darren Wilson and Michael Brown are too busy to focus on the shredding of the Constitution taking place as we speak and the devastating consequences legalizing 5 million illegal immigrants will have on our nation.
Some of those on the right are playing the same game. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is gearing up for a likely 2016 presidential run and in preparation for this, he has recently “kissed the ring” of the left’s Godfather of racial extortion by inviting Al Sharpton to dine with him in the Senate Dining Room.
Al Sharpton, like the thugs that threatened violence in Ferguson, is an extortionist- a racial hustler analogues to the Mafioso of yesteryear that promised consequences if people did not pay the proper tribute.
When Sen. Paul, with whom I agree on many issues, meets with shysters like Sharpton, it betrays the black community he hopes to serve. It betrays black conservatives who share Paul’s plan to help their community not through increasing government dependence, but through better opportunities.
If Sen. Paul should ever become President Paul, his policies concerning the support of black communities will not be centered on hand-outs and increased government dependence (a model favored by hustlers like Sharpton and Jesse Jackson). Instead, Paul’s plan to engage minority communities will be to bolster opportunities to decrease unemployment and increase the number of good paying jobs in minority communities.
So, why would Sen. Paul meet with a shakedown artist like Sharpton? Because even one of the most powerful men in the country is afraid to not bow and kiss the ring.
The scars of Ferguson will heal. Buildings will be rebuilt and the town will return to placidity eventually. What remains a great danger to our republic is the bitter racial divide in America and those who purposefully augment that divide for personal and political gain.
How can race relations get better if we are not free to talk openly about them? How can justice be served if the threat of violence looms so large in response to a grand jury decision? How can we be a united country when the president continually tries to divide based on race, creed, gender and sexual orientation?
The violence in Ferguson is not an isolated incident; it is a predictable manifestation of racial manipulations by conmen like Obama, Holder, Sharpton and Jackson who continually paint the black community as victims and the government as the only possible remedy to this persecution.
