MESSAGE FROM A MILLENNIAL

From ILuvCO2

I’d like to share an essay by my son on Black Lives Matter. He is a freshman an Liberty University:

Hello everyone.

I’m writing tonight as a concerned student. As I watch the madness unfolding on college and university campuses across this nation – the “protests,” the riots, the vicious hatred of the so-called “Black Lives Matter” movement – I am profoundly and deeply disturbed.

Of course, I understand that on the outside, this might seem like a just and worthy cause. After all, who doesn’t want to end racism? But please, I implore you, especially my fellow college and university students, stop and look – really look – at what is happening. Tragically, what we are seeing here is not the pursuit of justice, it is the abandonment. And it breaks my heart.

Now, before I go any farther, I should like to make it very clear that I am NOT a racist. I harbor no malice or ill will against anyone based on the color of their skin, nor their ethnicity. As a matter of fact, as a Christian, I am called to love all people – friend and enemy, black and white, man and woman – and to serve all above myself. That is my call, and though I am first to admit that I stumble at times, I would hope my character bears this out.

Moreover, when it comes to matters of race, I believe firmly in the inspired words of the Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” I believe in the Truth of Rev. Martin Luther King’s words when he boldly proclaimed that ALL men should “be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” And I believe, just as he believed, that love, nonviolence, and redemptive goodwill towards all mankind are the ONLY grounds for proper and effective civil activism.

Sadly, however, as I look out over the events unfolding on campuses across America, it becomes evident just how far we’ve come from those noble ideals.

“The TRUTH about the anti-Trump Chicago riot”

Hat tip Francis Marion

Paul Joseph Watson analyzes the footage, and shows who was at the anti-Trump riot in Chicago last night — including a “non-violent activist” and 1960s domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Most of the mob, Watson says, were Bernie Sanders supporters.

The rest of the media will probably edit out the video showing communist hammer and sickle flags, and “forget” to report on the rape threats made against female Trump voters.

These self-proclaimed “anti-fascists” are shutting down free speech and the democratic process, and don’t even seem aware of the irony.

Watson says it was the liberal media and political establishment that encouraged last night’s riot, because they are the same people who praised the #BlackLivesMatter movement as “legitimate.”


Mark Zuckerberg Blasts Facebook Staff for Replacing ‘Black Lives Matter’ with ‘All Lives Matter’

Via Breitbart

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reprimanded employees for replacing “Black Lives Matter” slogans with “All Lives Matter” on the walls of the company’s headquarters in San Francisco.

In a private Facebook post obtained by Gizmodo, Zuckerburg told employees that their behaviour was “malicious” and “disrespectful,” and reminded them that there are “specific issues affecting the black community in the United States.”

“This has been a deeply hurtful and tiresome experience for the black community and really the entire Facebook community, and we are now investigating the current incidents,” said Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg went on to encourage employees to take part in the “Black@ town hall” on the 4th of March to “educate themselves about what the Black Lives Matter movement is all about.”

The Facebook CEO is not the only Silicon Valley bigwig to express his support for Black Lives Matter, a movement that has wreaked havoc on US campuses and cities. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is a well-known Black Lives Matter supporter who marched alongside protesters in Ferguson, Missouri and is acquainted with movement leader DeRay Mckesson.

Zuckerberg’s comments come as the company takes an increasingly tough approach to monitor and remove “hate speech” across the platforrm, working with Angela Merkel and the German government, who are particularly concerned with “hate speech” against migrants. It also comes as other silicon valley companies like Twitter and GitHub become increasingly reckless about displaying their political biases.

“All Lives Matter” is a slogan that developed in response to “Black Lives Matter.” It has been defended by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Southern Carolina’s first black senator since the reconstruction, as a more unifying slogan than the latter.

“If it causes offense that I say that ‘all lives matter’ — black lives, white lives, police officers, jurists, all of us, even politicians, all of our lives matter — if that is somehow offensive to someone, that’s their issue, not mine,” Scott told CNN last September.

“If we’re saying that the country has a provocative history on race, I affirm that fact,” he stated. “But for under the circumstances, to find a way forward, it is truly together.”


BLACK GUNS MATTER

Rob and myself finally did it. We went to a gun show. We had to park about a half mile away, because the crowds were so large. They even had shuttle buses running in the parking lot. I kept looking for Obama’s gun show loophole, but I couldn’t find it. What we found were a couple thousand American citizens who still believe in the 2nd Amendment and their right to exercise that freedom. We also found this shirt that reflects the thinking of hard working decent middle class white people.

The people I saw haven’t benefited from some phantom white privilege. These were people who get up every day, go to work, pay their taxes, stay married, raise children, and reflect the true American spirit. They aren’t bitter about their lot in life. All they ask is to be left alone by an overreaching hostile government that considers them potential domestic terrorists because they know how to use guns, believe in liberty and follow the U.S. Constitution. This is what Barack Obama thinks of them:

“It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” – Barack Obama – 2008

His hope and change sloganeering in 2008 didn’t fool these people. I don’t think I’d be far off in estimating there wasn’t a single Obama supporter in that massive expo center. He despises and scorns working class white Americans. His quote above captures his disdain for us. His entire presidency has been the most divisive in history. He has instigated the race baiting. He hails Islam as a religion of peace while attending mosques and pisses on Christianity at every opportunity.

D.C. NPR Family Another Victim of Black Violence and Denial

Guest Post by Colin Flaherty
 

If Lori Kaplan depended only on her employers at NPR for news, she was probably surprised at the black mob violence that almost killed her white husband.

Kaplan is the Senior Director of Audience Research at NPR in downtown Washington, D.C. That is where she regularly meets her husband at the end of his evening commute on the Metro Red Line.

That is what she was recently doing when she received a text message from him: An “idiot gang” was acting belligerently in his train car, so he was going to move.

That was the last she heard from him until he got off the train: bloody, beaten, and dazed. With a broken jaw and missing teeth.

The Washington Post writer who covers commuting — not crime — picked up the story:

one of the youths approached a man who appeared to be in his 30s and asked for his bag. The man remained calmly in his seat, she said, when one of the youths began throwing punches.

Smyth said the punching continued maybe “30 seconds or so” when the victim, who appeared dazed, started to walk away from the youth. That’s when “the second kid jumped in and punched him square in the jaw,” she said.

She said the man passed out and hit the floor of the train’s front car.

The reporter, a former NPR correspondent, either did not know or did not think it was important to include a description of the “idiot gang.”

Hundreds of readers of the story thought it was important — and many mentioned their own experiences with black on white violence on the D.C. Metro.

College Cry Bullies In Pennsylvania Demand “Racist” Lynch Memorial Hall Be Renamed

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

In a recent post, Not a Safe Space – Canadian University Suspends Yoga Class After Students Become Offended, I explained how those most responsible for the almost inconceivable authoritarian idiocy spreading across college campuses are not the students themselves, but their spineless and inept administrators.

 

These kids are more or less acting like Wall Street financiers after the bailouts. After the bankers were provided with trillions of dollars in backstops and no one went to jail for destroying the economy, they immediately paid themselves record bonuses a year after the worst of the crisis, and are now once again thieving and pillaging at will.

 

Why? Because when no one is held accountable, the incentives are in place to steal. Similarly, no adults are holding these out of control child-fascists accountable for their despicable behavior. As such, these tyrants-in-training are getting more out of control every day, and getting away with it. Thank you college administrators.

 

– From the piece: Protesters at Smith College Demand Journalists Swear Loyalty Oath Before Reporting on Them

You’ve got Trump supporters on one side, college cry bullies on the other. One group consists of self-described conservatives, the other self-described liberals. Both have authoritarian tendencies and would throw out the rule of law, civil liberties, and rationality in a heartbeat if it meant advancing their own agendas. Both are equally dangerous, and both movements appear to be growing. The depressing thing is, rather than Americans uniting under Constitutional principles, the trend seems to be two camps diverging into their own unique brands of totalitarianism. The future does not look bright should this continue.

Black Lives Comes to Canada

Guest Comment by Francis Marion

I live in a major metropolitan area in the western part of the country. In the last week I can count on one hand how many black people I’ve seen. Lots of Asians and imported Indians but next to zero black folks. I understand there is more black people in eastern Canada than in the west but overall they constitute about 2.5% of the entire population. That’s right – 2.5%. There was never slavery in this country unless you were a native enslaved by another tribe or a young white kid living in indentured servitude on some Quebecois farm during the 19th century.

You’d never hear this kind of horse shit from the Asian population here who comprise at least 15% of the over all population and depending on what city you are in – often comprise a near majority. This is because Asian people come here to do this thing called ‘work’. They are self motivated to be successful. They are citizens. They do not complain about racism because by and large it plays such a tiny factor in our lives that to dwell on it borders on moronic. That is unless you are a college student at a modern institution of Marxist indoctrination… most commonly called a university.

I can hardly believe this garbage has finally come to this country. Makes me want to puke.

“Don’t devalue my degree with your nonsense.” Black Coalition demands Ryerson University change its name, remove Egerton statue

Black students at Ryerson have put together a list of demands aimed at the University’s administration.

The Black on Campus Coalition posted their demands to their United Black Students Ryerson Facebook page. Their first demand states, “in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, we demand the university administration launch a process to rename the university and remove the statue of Egerton Ryerson.”

They go on to demand more scholarships for black students and a reduction in tuition fees. In addition, they want a ten percent increase to the number of Black tenured faculty, upper administration and full-time staff.

When it comes to actual education, they demand more courses that “speak to the histories, experiences and realities of Black and Racialised communities to be taught by tenured Black and Racialised faculty.”

Their full list of demands can be found at this link.

They conclude by saying, “Ryerson University must make a commitment to acknowledge its ongoing racist practices that have contributed to the violence and trauma faced by black people on our campus for the purpose of profit and upholding it’s investment in white supremacy.”

Outgoing Ryerson president Sheldon Levy spoke to the Ryersonian regarding the demands. “Do I think the campus is perfect? Absolutely not … when there are these types of protests and movements, many times they make us take a harder and a better look at things.”

“They can protest higher fees, they can do all that. It’s all legitimate … I would rather have a society that feels they can take on these issues and push the administration … for change, than to say you’re not allowed,” Levy said.

Meanwhile the Facebook post that encouraged supporters to ‘share widely’ has been criticized by at least one student.

FOURTH TURNING – SOCIAL & CULTURAL DISTRESS DIVIDING THE NATION

I wrote the first three parts of this article back in September and planned to finish it in early October, but life intervened and truthfully I don’t think I was ready to confront how bad things will likely get as this Fourth Turning moves into the violent, chaotic war stage just over the horizon. The developments in the Middle East, Europe, U.S., China and across the globe in the last months have confirmed my belief war drums are beating louder, global war beckons, and much bloodshed will be the result. Fourth Turnings proceed at their own pace within the 20 to 25 year crisis framework, but there is one guarantee – they never de-intensify as they progress. Just as Winter gets colder, stormier and more bitter as you proceed from December through February, Fourth Turnings get nastier, grimmer, more perilous, with our way of life hanging in the balance.

In Part 1 of this article I discussed the catalyst spark which ignited this Fourth Turning and the seemingly delayed regeneracy. In Part 2 I pondered possible Grey Champion prophet generation leaders who could arise during the regeneracy. In Part 3 I focused on the economic channel of distress which is likely to be the primary driving force in the next phase of this Crisis. In Part 4 I will assess the social and cultural channels of distress dividing the nation, Part 5 the technological, ecological, political, military channels of distress likely to burst forth with the molten ingredients of this Fourth Turning, and finally in Part 6 our rendezvous with destiny, with potential climaxes to this Winter of our discontent.

The road ahead will be distressful for everyone living in the U.S., as we experience the horrors of war, economic collapse, civil chaos, political upheaval, and the tearing of society’s social fabric. The pain and suffering being experienced across the globe today will not bypass the people of the United States. Winter has arrived and lethal storms are gathering in the distance. Don’t think you can escape. You can prepare, but this Crisis will reshape our society for better or worse, and you cannot sidestep the consequences or cruel environment we must survive.

Chicago Mayor Emanuel Urges “Remain Peaceful” After Video Shows Cop Killing Black Teen

A black teenager is killed by a white cop in Chicago = turmoil, riots, looting, outrage, CNN special coverage.

20 black teenagers are killed every weekend in Chicago by other black teenagers = silence, apathy, no CNN coverage.

Black lives only matter when a white guy is involved.

With the release of this video, we suggest anyone living in and around Chicago ‘brace’ for potential social unrest. The Chicago Police Department has released video footage of the officer-involved shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was struck 16 times during a confrontation with officers.

The dashcam video, described by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez says that this video is “graphic, violent, and chilling,” is expected to provoke a very strong emotional reaction from Chicago’s very large African-American community.

As John Kass, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune, said, the video “could tear Chicago apart,” which is why Mayor Emanuel has already urged Chicagoans, “it is fine to be passionate, but it is essential to remain peaceful.”

The following comes from CNN…

Laquan McDonald was walking down a Chicago street the night of October 20, 2014, carrying a four-inch knife and behaving erratically, authorities say.

 

A police officer told him to drop the knife. He didn’t listen, and the officer fired on him out of fear for his life, according to a police union spokesman.

 

McDonald, 17, died. He was shot 16 times.

 

Now, more than a year later, the public will be able to see what happened.

Warning: this video is graphic (the confrontation begins around 5:00)

CHICAGO: WHERE BLACK LIVES DON’T MATTER TO BLACKS SO MUCH

I’m sure Obama will be moving his family to the South Side of Chicago to be with his brothers after he exits the White House (racist). Imagine the hope and change he would bring by living amongst his diehard voting constituency. How come black thugs aren’t obeying the toughest gun laws in the nation? Don’t they know it’s a crime to illegally use a gun in Chicago? There should be a law. Why do black lives only matter in the rare incidence when a black man is killed by a white man? Why don’t they matter so much in the 93% of the incidences when a black man kills a black man?

Three killed, 31 wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago

Via Sun-Times Wire

Three people were killed and at least 31 others, including a 7-year-old girl, have been wounded in shootings across Chicago since late Friday.

The most recent fatal shooting happened about 1 a.m. Sunday in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side.

Two boys, ages 16 and 17, were standing on the sidewalk in the 8200 block of South Ingleside when someone walked up and fired shots at them, according to Chicago Police.

The younger boy suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 2:05 a.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His name was withheld Sunday pending family notification.

The older boy was shot in the leg and also taken to Christ Medical Center, where his condition stabilized. A police source said the 17-year-old is a known gang member.

About two hours earlier, a 44-year-old man was shot to death in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

Adrian Jeffries was standing on the sidewalk about 11:05 p.m. in the 6000 block of South Throop when someone got out of a black SUV and opened fire, authorities said. He was struck in the head and back and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2 a.m.
