The reoccurring melodrama that is the disaster of America’s inner cities has surfaced again, and in Baltimore this time. There is nothing really new in the on-going upheaval – just another dead druggie and a community in revolt because of his demise.
Interestingly, it seems that the police rarely kill a young black man who is well dressed and on his way to work, school, or church. For some unknown reason the recipient of the bullet or the harsh treatment are always the least functional of society. Yes, I know that every human life has value, but some lives are far more valuable than others.
As in Ferguson, MO, the street thugs and chronic unemployed are out in the streets in mass attempting to fill the void between their welfare income and what others work for by stripping store shelves. The mayor of Baltimore actually encouraged this sad criminal behavior by suggesting that they should be allowed to steal and destroy as they chose. Nice policy, unless you own property that is being destroyed.
The federal government has sunk $1.8 billion into Baltimore in just the past few years. The population of the Baltimore metropolis is 2.7 million, which indicates a fund breakdown of 665 dollars per individual. But that figure is highly misleading because not a dime of the money went to the suburbs or the more affluent areas – it all went to the inner city. Unfortunately federal money is funneled through city governments, where it is diverted to things that have little, if any benefit to the folks who actually need help. And of course there is always the city council member who just happens to have a cousin or uncle who owns a business that needs some income. The milking of the white cow is after all the national pastime!
There are systemic problems in the inner cities of America, and they are neither new nor unique to Baltimore. Leading the roll of unfortunate circumstances is the fact that marriage and the presence of a father figure in the home is a rare occurrence. Also, there seems to be little motivation to attend school for the purpose of actually attaining an education – 55% of fourth graders can’t read! Fifty percent of students actually complete high school – far fewer truly receive a diploma! Thus, if there were jobs available in the inner city, there would be few individuals who could read a job application or perform the tasks associated with today’s mechanized work environment.
The desire to advance socially and economically does not seem to afflict the residents of the inner city. The insidious intentions of government to help the lower class have bred dissatisfaction by providing just enough to exist and curbing any desire to achieve. The results are people who are resentful, basically helpless, have little foresight or ambition, and more than willing to destroy what they did not build.
The mayor, police commissioner, prosecuting attorney, the president of the Baltimore city council, and most other Baltimore officials are black – what could only charitably be termed black leadership is inept and ineffectual. The self-appointed reverends who come into the inner cities are there for the face time and are little more than parasites – what have they ever done to make anything better for the citizens of Baltimore? Until the residents of the Baltimore’s of America decide to want effective representation, and something more than existence – nothing can change – and that is the sad truth.
If you are reading this article in the hopes of finding some solution to the chaos that is America’s inner cities – you came to the wrong place. From the White House to the outhouse, the resounding cry is RACISM. This is the constant convenient drumbeat that allows the politicians who have actually created this mess through their ineptness, promotion of racial divisiveness, and failed policies to hide behind the term and avoid any responsibility.
I am not a pessimist by nature, but I see no resolution for the problems that plague the ghettos. Throwing tax dollars at the problem may help cleanse the souls of politicians but does nothing to heal the problems!
Have a good week. Bill Shuey is a freelance writer from North Carolina.
Nicely written Mr. Shuey!
The real puzzling and sad part of this whole darn mess in this country, is the fact that the good, law abiding, freedom loving, legal citizens of this country, have allowed it to get to this point!
Also the legal citizen have been relegated to a non citizen status by the traitors in the government and the bureaucracy. all that matters to them are the illegal invaders and what they can give them. You have to understand it is a complete and total shift in white rule to a non white rule as fast as they can achieve it. under the negro islamic marixst monkey man in the white house it has been accelerated at rate of 500%, for the complete and total annihilation of the white ruling class and its citizens. It’s like I keep saying we must have a civil war to stop this madness and we must hang every bureaucrat , politician, judge, media whore elites, Corporatists, etc. who has played there part in our nations demise, if not then you and everyone else will be forced at gun point by some foreigner or traitors in our military and loaded into fema trains, shackled and then ultimately put into a gas chamber to be murdered like dogs, just like the jews were in WW2. I for one will not go out like this, the patriots have the bullets with the traitors/seditionist names on every one of them
I couldn’t agree more, it IS part of a very large, dark and nefarious agenda! My husband and I will also not go out the way you described that many will. We are prepared and we will not go down without a major battle and many lives of the evil that surround us will also perish, but we will not go willing to our torture and deaths! God bless America again! If he doesn’t and I don’t see why he would at this point in the game, then we will come to a miserable demise and very soon!

A race war is exactly the plan amongst other things, but if they can pit us all against each other, how much greater in their eyes will the final act of this massive play be? Too bad we ALL can’t see the evilness of this agenda and NOT entertain them with our own destruction, but all come together instead to take the evil doers out of the gene pool and take our world back from those who think they are so brilliant and better than all of us that they place beneath them! But it would require people to repent and go against that destructive mindset and start living a more Godly life, only then will God help us to help ourselves!
the patriots will use there agenda against them while the rioting begins nationwide and take all of them out while the elitists in government, media, corporations,. etc. are laughing and thinking they won some great victory. the patriots will finally remove the evil bastards from the face of the earth.
