Totally agree. If you and I sat down together, we would agree on so much stuff. Most of us would.

Personally, I try to avoid the emphasis on the black on black crime, because it's a talking point that is addressing the wrong issue. Whites don't see the discussions in the black communities, because it's not a part of the NATIONAL narrative. When is the last time you saw, on MSM, two black leaders addressing this issue? It doesn't happen. Why not? Shouldn't they want everyone to see these discussions? Don't yo

Let me be clear that I am referring to conservative whites, not liberal ones. Neither is really seeing this information discussed in black communities, but it doesn't matter to the liberal, since they already see it as their duty to pander to blacks. Not in actual deed, but lip service, because they know their goals can only be achieved with the help of the black vote. This is made worse by their politicians that actively exploit the black community to maintain power. BLM is evidence of this. If you click 'donate' on the BLM website, you are rerouted to ACTBLUE, which basically serves as a democratic fundraiser. Every issue that is exploited nationally raises money for democrats. So, when you feel like conservatives are pushing back against that exploitation, it's not because they want to do blacks harm, but to try to oppose their political rival.

Conservatives, on the other hand, don't care about the black community or problems until they rise to national prominence. The national media, acting as an extension of the democrats, takes any injustice committed against blacks, no matter how controversial, and pushes it into the public eye. They don't have a reasonable discussion about the issue, but rather use it to rail against the "system." This is not because they believe that the system is broken, but because they are the ones offering promises that will change the system (even though most of the time, democrats have had complete control in these areas for years). I get frustrated with those who take the bait. This includes the talking heads at Fox that fixate on arguments like black on black crime, which then get parroted by the whites who watch. This is then trotted out by the MSM as more evidence of racism and out come the calls to "vote."  

I love Malcom X. When I was a boy, I can remember my dad thinking he was an agitator, but when I got old enough to start reading and hearing what he actually said, I realized he was a brilliant man that actually had significant insight into the world around him. He was a rare individual that could go against the grain, while also continuing to grow as a human being. This is quote that I find particularly relevant to this discussion:

Quote:“The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man. Let me explain what I mean by the white liberal. In America there is no such thing as Democrat or Republican anymore. In America you have liberals and conservatives. The only people living in the past who think in terms of I’m a Democrat or Republican, is the American Negro. He’s the one that runs around bragging about party affiliation. He’s the one that sticks to the Democrat or sticks to the Republican.

But white people are divided into two groups, liberals and conservative. The Democrats who are conservative, vote with the Republicans who are conservative. The Democrats who are liberal vote with the Republicans that are liberal. The white liberal aren’t white people who are for independence, who are moral and ethical in their thinking. They are just a faction of white people that are jockeying for power. The same as the white conservative is a faction of white people that are jockeying for power.

They are fighting each other for power and prestige, and the one that is the football in the game is the Negro, 20 million black people. A political football, a political pawn, an economic football, and economic pawn. A social football, a social pawn. The liberal elements of whites are those who have perfected the art of selling themselves to the Negro as a friend of the Negro. Getting sympathy of the Negro, getting the allegiance of the Negro, and getting the mind of the Negro. Then the Negro sides with the white liberal, and the white liberal use the Negro against the white conservative. So that anything that the Negro does is never for his own good, never for his own advancement, never for his own progress, he’s only a pawn in the hands of the white liberal.

The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros, and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked, or deceived by the white liberal then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems.

Our problems will never be solved by the white man. The only way that our problem will be solved is when the black man wakes up, clean himself up, stand on his own feet and stop begging the white man, and take immediate steps to do for ourselves the things that we have been waiting on the white man to do for us. Once we do for self then we will be able to solve our own problems.

"The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox. One is the wolf, the other is a fox. No matter what, they’ll both eat you.”

Now, I think some things have changed in our nation since then, and I could nitpick a bunch of little things in that quote that I think are no longer applicable. However, one thing that has not changed in my opinion is how blacks are used by democrats for their agenda. I know blacks are having these discussions in their communities, but that's only because I have friends in these communities and talk with them frequently. However, most white folks don't. The simple truth is that most conservatives are fighting the progressives, and the arguments you hear them having are directed at progressives. Progressives then take those arguments, give them to the blacks and say, "see how they hate you," because they need your power, not to help you, but to help themselves.
