About that last post...

The ink was barely dry (so to speak) on "Way too many black kids, way too many crime guns", my post about the shootings in Pinellas County, when I received a complaint from another useful idiot that I put too much emphasis on the blackitude of the perps and their victims. Why did I keep pointing that out, they cried. Why couldn't I have been like Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, and used the word "black" (or "Black", as the wokesters write it now) only once?

Let's try that. Suppose I'd deleted the mugshots of the Coley Bros, and bleeped out the "black" in Sheriff Bob's speech. No, that wouldn't be enough. I'd couldn't repost the video at all because it included images of the miscreants.

So suppose I just posted a transcript of Sheriff Bob's remarks, with the word "black" deleted. You'd still have known, wouldn't you, that the Coley Bros were black, the minute you read their names -- Darcus and Damarcus. 

Even if I had deleted their names -- called them "Defendant 1" and "Defendant 2" perhaps -- you'd still have guessed, from the mindless violence of shooting members of one's own family over a quarrel about who got dissed in the giving of Christmas gifts, that this could only have happened in the "Black community".

That's my point. The real problem which this story illustrates is not insufficient gun control, or the lack of help for those with mental "issues", or even the laxity of the liberal system of justice. It's ghetto culture. And yes, I do mean the black ghetto. You don't get stories like this out of Martha's Vineyard, or the Hamptons, or the `hoods of Crown Point and Bora Park, New York.

Not that there are no family squabbles -- even violent ones -- in those non-black ghettos. But there, the families are complete. Did you notice that in this story there's no mention of fathers being involved, or even present? Just a single mama and kids. 

The problem of the single parent (i.e. mother) family has been discussed (and swept under the politically correct carpet) for decades, at least as far back as The Negro Family: The Case For National Action, commonly known as the Moynihan Report, published during the 1965 race riots.

In this controversial work, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, an American scholar serving as Assistant Secretary of Labor under President Lyndon B. Johnson -- later to become a US Senator -- argued that the rise in black single-mother families was caused not by a lack of jobs, but by a destructive vein in ghetto culture. 

The Moynihan Report was published in 1965. LBJ's "Great Society" was supposed to fix all that. How are things in the great liberal democracy (LOL) of America 58 years later? The black ghettos are bigger and meaner than ever. If you doubt me, try strolling through one of them. 

Maybe you'd better drive, like the Griswolds in National Lampoon's Vacation. That movie appeared in 1983 -- 18 years after the Moynihan Report, and 40 years before the present day. Today you don't have to go into the `hood to risk getting shot. In every big Democrat-controlled (Canadians read: Liberal-cntrolled) city, you hardly dare ride the subway or go shopping in a mall, without taking your life in your hands.

That's how it is in Biden's Woke America. Black culture and the kind of lowlife scum it produces -- Hello George Floyd, wherever you are! -- are held up by the liberals for commiseration, even adoration, while their (mostly black) victims and other innocents can only keep their heads down and hope that some (probably white) cop or well-intentioned civilian will protect them.

VIDEO: "Way too many black kids, way too many crime guns"

Here's a nice little "once upon a time in America" story from Pinellas County FL. 

"Dis is de story of two lil bros, Darcus and Damarcus, who got busted by de po-leece, even dough dey din' do nuffin much. 

"Dey was good bwoyz, tryin' to turn deir lives around. One wanted to be a DJ and de other wanted to be a basketball player. Now dem white supremacist pigs makin' dem out to be poster chil'ren fo gun control. Huh!"

We'll let Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri tell you why Darcus and Damarcus are "known to police". It begins with a Christmas shopping expedition...

 

Did you catch the play? At yesterday's presser, Sheriff Bob said that the two boys carried guns all the time, according to interviews with their relatives, and they had both previously been booked for car burglaries and other crimes. “The problem is," he said, "you got way too many kids out there with way too many guns."

He added, "They’re not old enough to understand and have the right coping mechanisms to deal with this stuff when they are upset." That's PC speak for: we have to make allowance for them because they're disadvantaged, and society hasn't given them help understanding the difference between right and wrong. Oh, hahahahaha.

Then we come to the real problem. "In the last 30 days, we’ve taken reports where seventeen guns have been stolen from unlocked cars." So the problem is that people aren't locking their car doors, right? There oughta be a law against that!

Noooooooo, Karen. The real problem is that there are "young thugs" (Sheriff Gualtieri's words -- he missed the adjective "black") -- who are wandering around looking fo9r un locked cars from which they can steal.

Although they're still teens, both Damarcus and Darcus have records as long as their arms for that sort of thing. They have been in the "justice" system since they were PRE-teens. The police keep charging them with various crimes, often violent, and liberal prosecutors and liberal judges let them out on bail, putting them on probation, giving them slaps on the wrist.

Why? Because the aforementioned minions of the justice system suffer from terminal white liberal guilt combined with state-mandated political correctness. "Kids" like Darcus and Damarcus don't steal guns and sahoot people because they're bad. They do it because they are disadvantaged yoofs, which gives them a deck of get-out-of-jail-free cards. 

So they walk through the revolving doors of the courthouse and commit another crime after another and another. And innocent people get injured and killed. As Sheriff Gualtieri said, "it's ridiculous."
