When it comes to America's racial past and present, lies and snake oil are sold in many colors.
In the wake of the Trayvon Martin tragedy, conservatives in media have sought to deflect from the racism and racial profiling that precipitated his untimely death by referencing the broader social malaise of supposed "black-on-black violence."
On last week's episode of This Week on ABC, Washington Post columnist George Will said that despite the Trayvon tragedy, "150 black men are killed every week in this country," and "about 94 percent of them by other black men."
Will parroted arguments made by many conservatives, his intended point being that black-on-black crime remains the real problem our nation should address. The half-truth he spoke went curiously unchallenged by the panel -- including former White House adviser Van Jones -- largely because the meta-narrative of black-on-black violence is widely accepted in journalistic and political circles.
Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News host and one-man propaganda machine, recently interviewed Columbia University professor Marc Lamont Hill to discuss similar claims from Wall Street Journal contributor Shelby Steele, who wrote in "The Exploitation of Trayvon Martin" that "black teenagers are afraid of other black teenagers, not whites." O'Reilly vehemently defended Steele's premise that the Trayvon Martin case is an anomaly.
"Blacks today are nine times more likely to be killed by other blacks than by whites," Steele wrote. He went on to attack the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for "exploiting" Trayvon's death in an effort to promote a "liberal" agenda -- a point that O'Reilly was all too happy to expound.
Steele's perspective, though myopic and misguided, remains pervasive and embedded in the broader social consciousness. This red-herring approach is not new, but in the face of Trayvon's death -- for which there remains no arrest, no charges and no arraignment -- these obstructive tactics require an equal and opposite response.
What Will, Steele and O'Reilly failed to mention is the exacting truth that white Americans are just as likely to be killed by other whites. According to Justice Department statistics (pdf), 84 percent of white people killed every year are killed by other whites.
what a completely waste of a posting that ridiculously long article is. the summation, that "whites kill whites 84% of the time", has absolutely ZERO - NOTHING - to do with black-on-black crime. ZERO - NOTHING!!!
this author does EXACTLY what he/she/it derides Will/O'Reilly/Steele of doing.
Lamont Hill/Sharpton/Jackson are race-baiting opportunists willing to sell out their own people to make a despicable living - and white people (myself included) are NOT responsible for the words and/or actions of Lamont Hill/Jackson Sharpton, nor are white people responsible for the killings in Chicago.
the days of 'white guilt' are over people! time to clean up your own messes.
your problems are NOT my fault, they are NOT the fault of my parents or grand parents, and we refuse to buy into the guilt b.s.
"it's yo' world, negro!"
and since we're posting articles from other sources, check this one out from the CBS - Tampa website:
"Palm Beach, Fla. (CBS TAMPA) – The Florida State Board of Education passed a plan that sets goals for students in math and reading based upon their race.
On Tuesday, the board passed a revised strategic plan that says that by 2018, it wants 90 percent of Asian students, 88 percent of white students, 81 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of black students to be reading at or above grade level. For math, the goals are 92 percent of Asian kids to be proficient, whites at 86 percent, Hispanics at 80 percent and blacks at 74 percent. It also measures by other groupings, such as poverty and disabilities, reported the Palm Beach Post.
The plan has infuriated many community activists in Palm Beach County and across the state.
“To expect less from one demographic and more from another is just a little off-base,” Juan Lopez, magnet coordinator at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Riviera Beach, told the Palm Beach Post.
JFK Middle has a black student population of about 88 percent.
so, this begs the question: why does the school district believe that blacks are the dumbest of all races?
is there evidence of this (other than all the black-on-black crime)?
"inquiring minds want to know ....."
Racism and sexism are more American than baseball and apple pie.
Just because someone writes an article doesn't make it true. There are many facts that can be debated however the point is the violence needs to stop. I agree with the racist rantings of the second poster only to the point about African Americans being responsible for themselves. You really cannot blame the so called white nation for everything, sometimes you are the problem. No need to stoop to the levels of these racist, we are far to intelligent for that, thats where the their hatred for us lies. also americas educational system sucks thats why other countries have far surpassed us. They think americans are dumb and honestly this blog spot proves it
