More black lives not mattering: 100 people shot in Chicago

Blood PoolBecause, in truth, black lives don’t matter to Leftists, they don’t matter to Demorats and they sure as hell don’t matter to other urban black males.

Ripped from today’s yawning headlines at the ChicagoTribune.com:

Nearly 100 people shot in Chicago in less than a week

by Alexandra Chachkevitch

Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 — about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.

Between last Friday afternoon and early Thursday, at least 99 people were shot in the city, 24 of them fatally.  At least nine people were killed on Monday alone, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years, according to Tribune data. Among the wounded that day was a 10-year-old boy shot in the back as he played on his front porch in Lawndale.

The number of shooting victims in Chicago stood at 2,514 Thursday morning. At this time last year, 1,725 people had been shot.  The city has not seen this level of gun violence since the 1990s, a trend the Police Department has blamed on lax gun laws and feuding gang factions.

“Lax gun laws.”  What a load of horse-crap.  Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, on par with Los Angeles and New York.  Assault weapons?  Banned.  Go here.

If you want to stop gun violence, you’d best start with inserting the black father into the family equation and stop paying people for more children absent a father, embrace religion and churches, clean up schools and bring the trades back into them, lean on “stop and frisk,” demand the “broken windows” mindset from police, emphasize education with a focus on the basics and halt generational welfare.  Blacks in urban neighborhoods have just as much a right to be safe on their streets and in their homes as anyone else.

Yawn.  More young urban black males killed.  Meh.

Let us not forget it is Lyndon Baines Johnson, Democrat, Hero of the Left, the consummate personal opportunist and 36th president, who said — regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (as Senate Majority Leader) to Hubert Humphrey, “Hubert, it don’t take any genius to be for civil rights from Minnesota.  How many black people you got in Minnesota?  Humphrey said, about 12,000.  Johnson said to Humphrey, “you make me sick.”

Let us also not forget that it was LBJ who said “I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next two-hundred years.”

And so he has.  It’s nothing more complicated than this: I’ll respect black lives when Democrats respect them, and when they respect themselves.

I’m going to have a very long wait.

Hey, hand me a beer, would you?

  1. the best treatise on the subject that i have seen is Thomas Sowell’s “Black Rednecks and White Liberals”.

    IMO, this country doesn’t have a race problem as much as we have a culture problem. we have allowed, even encouraged, the formation of subcultures that are founded on intimidation, then, when pushback comes, the cries of “racism” are allowed to stand.

    Sowell’s book is great. Jason Riley’s “Please Stop Helping Us” isn’t bad either and a bit easier reading.

    • JLW, you have hit it. It is a forced race problem. I’ve always enjoyed Sowell and should read him more frequently BUT, his book BASIC ECONOMICS was one that I thoroughly enjoyed — the geek in me, I suppose.

      Excellent insight, JLW.

  2. Yes, you are going to wait a long, long time.
    Possibly never.
    Negro have hardly any emotional control.
    Only if it hurts physically will they stop doing something.
    Sorry folks, but this is the truth.
    Found this out personally in the Watts riots in 1965.
    No brain control equals no reaction control!

    • This does not have to occur. But I can’t translate it any other way except the purposeful demolition of the once-nuclear black family.
