By Rich Kozlovich,
Let's start this commentary by citing and quoting one of my favorite American Thinker writers, Olivia Murray, in her article, which attracted a lot of attention, New ‘trend’ shows blacks attacking random whites and accusing them of being part of Karmelo Anthony’s jury selection, saying:
Yesterday, I came across a video in which a black man films himself riding down the street on a bicycle, reportedly in Florida, before he pulls over where a white man is sitting on the ground talking to a white woman while they appear to be waiting for a bus. Out of nowhere and without provocation, the black man punches the seated white man in the head, accusing him of being part of the “jury selection” for the Karmelo Anthony trial; he also says to the white man, who is a veteran, “you gonna die.”........
I posted two words in the comment section, fully expecting to upset a lot of people. Those two words? It's genetic! Not surprisingly, someone took exception to that saying:
No, it’s not genetic. Hatred is not an innate behavior. No child is born with the ability to hate someone. First off, hatred is an intense emotional response to something, and emotions are a learned behavior. No, hatred is something that is taught.
In the case of blacks who hate all whites, they are taught to hate whites in the home growing up. When all that you hear since as far back as you can remember that all of your problems, everything that is wrong in your life is because of white people, then you naturally will become indoctrinated to hate all whites.
This hatred of whites becomes a seemingly ‘normal’ way of seeing the world around you because nearly everyone that you have ever known has said the very same thing. So then from that black child’s point of view this is normal. Another word for such a behavior is that you develop a personal schema, which you see the whole world through and process everything mentally that you see. (I might have screwed how I explained what a schema is, but I am really close to the technical definition. You get my point.)
Such behavior is not exclusive to black homes only. As a white man I grew up in a struggling blue collar white household and family where any reference to blacks was always voiced as “those damned n- - - - - s …”, “MF’ing n- - - - - s…”, etc. etc. All of my parents friends, most of our neighbors where we grew up, all spoke the very same way about this subject.
I was fortunate enough to see through the hatred, and to eventually understand it and the why for it. I have also been fortunate enough to have met some really decent, good black people, who were sane and relatively normal/not racist, good salt of the earth kind of people. Most of these I wish we still lived close enough to that we could still be friends. But I have also met an awful lot more hateful black racists who just hated all white people, and will never accept that any whites are not their enemy. Some whom I have physically fought with repeatedly.
What I am trying to share here is that not all are this way or that. No race is a monolith. We each need to open our hearts and be open to discernment that there will always be some who have risen above, and these people are truly worth the effort and time to know and accept as brothers and sisters.
My response to this was; when you see this behavior in black cultures all over the world you have to conclude…. it’s genetic. In other posts he stated:
And maybe there is a reason why blacks in other parts of the world behave in this manner. There is a lot more at play than just genetics for why blacks in other cultures may behave in a similar manner.
Everything we do has a genetic component, including a propensity for irresponsible behavior and intelligence. Refusing to recognize that is a failure in observing reality. Generalizations aren’t meant to frame every individual, it’s meant to recognize a pattern of behavior in a group. This pattern of irresponsible behavior is a worldwide social paradigm. When you see this behavior in black cultures all over the world you have to conclude…. it’s genetic. Later he posted this:It is a fact that hatred is an emotion, and therefore it cannot ever be an innate characteristic which can be inherited. But if you wish to believe in otherwise, that is your choice. This sounds eerily similar to how Ratchet Crockett chooses to present her intentional ignorance as some kind of fact. But hey, you do you. Have a good day.
As you can see he became a bit perturbed. We're all willing to accept the physical characteristics are inherited because we can see those characteristics, but we're unwilling to accept character traits are inherited, in spite of the fact we can see those character qualities playing out in society daily because it's not politically correct.
Bill Ponton posted this American Thinker article, The Anthony family saga" saying:
There is something rich about Karmelo Anthony describing himself in his court filing as a “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” after his parents squandered the crowdfunded defense fund of $625,000 on meals at Cheesecake Factory, luxury handbags, and a new home in a gated community, presumably needed to foil attempts by relatives to sponge off them.
If the Anthony clan is representative of the intact black family that conservatives like Ben Shapiro are always clamoring for, then we should rethink that proposition. The elder Anthony instilled in his son arrogance, machismo, and a sense of victimhood, a deadly cocktail that no sane father would want to foster. Both parents show a disturbing lack of remorse for the actions of their little pit bull.
As I read this article I came away with the idea the author is under the impression this “family” is unique in black America. It’s not, it’s the pattern, and that selfish irresponsible behavioral pattern is ubiquitous in black culture…. worldwide. He responded to my comment saying:
I am living under no illusion. You are right, it’s pervasive
"Violence in America is frightening. Racial violence is pandemic. Black culture in America is now a criminal culture, and it's not just against whites, Asians, and Hispanic. Black thugs are non discriminating". They hate everyone.
Outrage Over Hung Jury in Brutal Beating of Asian Jewelry Store Owner Despite Clear Video Evidence The video has been deleted in this link, but it is available in this one.
Trial for man seen on video attacking jewelry store owner ends in hung jury Surveillance video shows 68-year-old Chang Suh being stomped on and hit in the head at least a dozen times - twice with a hammer.........
It’s unfortunate so many fail to recognize reality, and worse yet, they attempt to ameliorate that irresponsible behavior by blaming others calling observations of reality …. racism! They're enabling that continued irresponsible behavior. As it stands right now, “All Things Great and Small are Racist.”
Blacks in America have not succeeded as Orientals in America, or Italians and Jews for that matter. And for the same reasons. If you want a successful life you have to get a job, go to work every day, go in on time, leave on time, do the job you’re hired to do, don’t steal from your employer, don’t give your boss six thousand pounds of attitude, marry the person you’re making babies with, pay your bills, treat people with respect, don’t do crime and violence, don’t do drugs, raise your children with that attitude, make sure they go to school and do as best as they can - then you will have lived a successful life.
This really isn’t about race it’s about culture. What can you expect from a culture that has a 70 illegitimacy rate, and then blames whites for all their problems. Why? Because using the theme "everything racist", as the unending excuse they and their enablers in government use to avoid honestly addressing the problems in black culture. If they did, they’d be condemning themselves, and then they’d have to actually act on solutions that do something constructive.
Let’s Have a Serious Conversation About Race - How could anyone, real or not, go on camera and express sympathy for a murderer, at the expense of the murder victim and his family, no less? There’s really only one possibility: the cancerous cultural rot Democrats have forced and enforced on the black community..............Democrats created a failed education system designed to keep poor minorities where they are and ensure government dependence indefinitely, and nothing more. They tolerate a culture of violence, where actually learning is attacked as “acting white” and getting ahead is called “selling out.
”How can you solve a problem when you won’t acknowledge it? You can’t. When black men are calling for other 15 and 16-year-old black men to kill more white people because “y’all will be out at 30, y’all ain’t gonna do life,” where is the condemnation? Where are the politicians and pastors?............Karmelo Anthony murdered a kid, not because “he felt threatened,” as he could have easily walked out of the tent if that were the case. He killed Austin Metcalf because he’d been conditioned by the left to be a victim and to believe that anything he did in response to that victimhood was justified.
Andrea Widburg ran this piece on April 21, 2024, A wheelchair-bound girl is beaten, and we need to talk about it, and this video is really disturbing showing the merciless beating of a poor young black crippled wheelchair bound girl being beaten, and done so by other black girls. Name one nation anywhere on the planet that's controlled by blacks where this is any different.
"Today South Africa experiences high levels of poverty, crime and many vital public services barely work."
Since 1950 there have been 492 coups in the world, some successful, some not. But 220 of those were carried out in Africa. There are 54 nations in Africa, and 45 of them have had coups in that time period. Of those coups that are successful; most of them only hold power for less than seven years.
Racism is a Corrupt Scam Destroying America. The number one problem for blacks in America is other blacks. Not whites, not discrimination, not past history, it’s black attitudes and liberal solutions that excuse a lack personal responsibility.
