It's amazing that this has to be explained to a cable mogul, but Heather MacDonald does a commendable job.
Cable mogul Evan Shapiro had a stunningly clueless Trayvon Martin entry on Huffington Post yesterday asking: Why doesn’t the media cover more black crime victims?
Shapiro, the president of indie cable broadcaster IFC, should pose the same question to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and every member of the black protest establishment: Why don’t you protest more black crime victims? The answer would be the same in all cases: Because the only black victims who interest the race industry and its mainstream media handmaidens are blacks who have been killed by “white” civilians, including honorary whites like Martin’s killer George Zimmerman, or blacks who have been killed or offended by the police (black officers will do here in a pinch).
Unfortunately, there are very few such victims. Ninety-three percent of all black homicide casualties from 1980 to 2008 were killed by other blacks, and are thus of no interest whatsoever to today’s race advocates, because they fail to support the crucial story line that blacks remain under siege by a racist white power structure.
Your lead is straight-on, Mr. Spencer. Heather MacDonald definitely did a commendable job in addressing the issue stated by the blog's headline. Thanks for sharing it...
ReplyDeleteI think the core of the problem is the missing leadership position of men in the black community. Mothers tend to be the head of household and many of the men tend to do as they please. There are many tough moms, believe me, but moms are not dads. I guess I am old fashion that I think 2 loving parents can make a difference.
ReplyDeleteNOT all of the men, but enough that get away with fathering children and having no positive impact in the child's life.
I think blacks who follow the Reverend Sharpton's, and Reverend Jackson's and other abusers of the black community are sheep that buy in to all the racist crap they serve.
