African-Americans Self-Destructing in America: Here’s Why

By Frosty Wooldridge

Ferguson, Missouri with its race-riots; Chicago, Illinois with its 50 black on black shootings over the 4^th of July weekend and New York City’s latest African-American death portend something deeper and much deadlier than a Grand Jury verdict that exonerated a white police officer.

Today in America, a sizeable population of Americans shoplift $25 million daily out of mercantile stores.  Millions drive drunk in the face of strict and punishing laws for intoxicated driving.  Tens of thousands text while driving at 70 mph, which kills 3,000 people annually. It matters not that it’s against the law and against common sense.  Thousands of black on white and black on black murders accelerate into the national news.  Black on black rapes, black on white rapes and violence toward children in the inner cities continues without causing riots or national concern.

In Detroit, Chicago, New York, Denver, LA, New Orleans and elsewhere across America, black schools suffer 50 to as high as 76 percent flunkout-dropout rates.  Result: millions of teens hit the streets illiterate every June.   Currently in America today, 42 million people cannot read or write—which equates to functional illiteracy.  Note: we feed 48 million people on food stamps because they cannot earn money with a job.

A profoundly disturbing 73 percent of African-American children arrive out of wedlock to single mothers who subsist on welfare.   One famous video of an African-American woman in Florida with 15 children living in a motel defies understanding.  She screamed at the news reporter, “Somebody’s got to take responsibility for all these kids.” 

A sense of personal responsibility and accountability never occurred to her.  It’s everyone else’s fault that her illegitimate kids don’t enjoy a home or three meals a day or a father(s).

In Ferguson, 6’4”, 290 pound, 18 year old, African-American Michael Brown robbed a convenience store, and nearly choked the storeowner when the owner tried to stop Brown.  A few minutes later, Officer Darren Wilson stopped the giant of a teenager who boasted a rap sheet history of robberies.  The teen attacked the officer in his own squad car.  Then, minutes later, after being shot in the hand, the teenager ran, but turned back to charge toward the police officer.  After many shouts to halt, the officer, fearing for his life, shot the young man dead.

A Grand Jury, including six African-Americans, heard all the facts and all the witnesses to the case. They voted to not indict Officer Wilson because the behemoth of a man charged toward him with the ability to crush the officer, take his gun and kill the officer.

That decision, made by lawful citizens, morphed into the Ferguson riots and burnings.  It caused race-baiter Al Sharpton to create the false flag of, “Hands up, don’t shoot” motto. 

Also, when the 6’4”, 350 pound, 45-year-old Eric Garner, died because of an arrest chokehold that cut off his air, more demonstrations raged across the country.

While emotions ran high, Sharpton raced to the head of the crowd to claim his almighty righteousness.  Burning buildings and cars costs millions, but settles nothing.  Blaming everyone else for personal behavior solves nothing.

When a police officer stops me for a traffic infraction, I say, “Yes sir and yes ma’am.”  I don’t argue. I don’t make excuses.  I don’t attempt to fight them. I don’t try to pull their gun.  I keep my hands on the wheel and look them in the eye.  If I get a ticket, I sign for it and pay for it.  Yes, it ruined my day, but I got caught speeding. I am responsible.  When a police officer has you in his or her sights, you don’t argue because they command you for time being. If you don’t want a police officer to stop you, obey the law.

Both Brown and Garner broke the law and fought the police officers.  If they chose to put their hands into cuffs and be led away to their day in court, both would be alive today. They didn’t so they died.  If you break the law, you pay the consequences.

That’s why we engage laws to maintain a civil society.

Right now, the African-American community, black on black crime, suffers 6,000 murders annually.  You never hear a word about it.  With 73 percent of African-American children living with a single mother, the African-American “family” lives in shambles that create more anger, illiteracy, violence, poverty and killings.  It’s the greatest tragedy since slavery.  But in this case, African-Americans do it to themselves.  No other ethnic group in America suffers so much death and poverty.  Why?  My bet: it started with Lyndon Baines Johnson’s “War on Poverty” and the “Great Society” that created endless welfare for those who enjoy doing nothing with their lives.

How about this idea?  Why doesn’t the Congressional Black Caucus investigate the “whys” of black poverty, crime and killings?  Then, pass laws to create jobs, fund schooling and vocational training.  How about a national network to educate teen African-American girls on the dangers of early pregnancy.  Intense-disciplined training and schooling must be introduced into the inner city ghettos.  Separate male and female schools to cut down on the sexual intrigue that creates so many fatherless children.

How about the African-American educated leaders like Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Colin Powell and mega-rich black entertainers step up to the plate to solve the problems facing African-Americans in America—rather than ignore them as they have for the past 40 years?

Instead of sending foreign aid over to countries that hate us, why not spend it on our own citizens for their and our benefit?  Instead of 10 to 13 year wars overseas that accomplish nothing, why not use the money for jobs and training for African-Americans? And all our poor citizens?

How about a Master Mind Group Think Tank that coordinates to discover the causes of black poverty and crime—then solve it, change it and turn it around?

We cannot endure high school kids marching down the streets of our cities yelling, “F*** the cops.”  

I think Bill O’Reilly presented America with the best five-minute speech on the African-American predicament. 

Bill O’Reilly says it out loud:

We need to teach young people personal accountability, personal responsibility and a sense of community.  We need to teach respect for law. We need to teach all teens the ramifications of teen pregnancies and how to prevent them.  We need to examine ourselves as a society, what means something to us, and how to regain the family unit.

If not, millions of Michael Brown’s and Eric Garners will kill each other, steal and cheat, and impregnate endless teen girls into motherhood without fathers.   We need to get this done. If not, more Ferguson riots face all of them and all of us.

 PROTANDIM -
The only patented, peer-reviewed “Nrf2″ synergizer on the planet that is scientifically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average of 40 percent  in 30 days in 100 percent of all mammals 100 percent of the time.  Oxidative stress is the one common cause of over 200  health concerns and diseases.  It is physically impossible to consume enough anti-oxidants in a day to do what one Protandim caplet daily does.  Scientifically proven to reduce oxidative stress in 30 days by 40 to 70 percent, Protandim turns back your internal age to that of a 20 year old.  It allows you to dance into your 50s, 60s , 70s and beyond.   

What is “Nrf2″? Answer: “High levels of free radicals turn on a specific protein in the cell’s nucleus; called Nrf2. Activation of Nrf2 essentially opens the door for the production of a vast array of our body’s most important antioxidants.”
