Charlotte requires race discussion Hillary, Democrats refuse to have

As embattled Charlotte works to get back on track, one thing was certain — there was no room at the inn for Hillary Clinton. Though the Democratic presidential nominee had planned a trip to the city after racial unrest create nights of chaos, Charlotte’s mayor begged her to cancel. She did.

“At this point we do have very stressed resources for security,” Mayor Jennifer Roberts stated. “They are working around the clock.”

{mosads}Clinton’s trip to the city would have been the same day the Carolina Panthers took to the field, thus causing a greater strain to law enforcement. Clinton abided by the mayor’s wishes and 86’d her trip.

But is security the only reason Hillary should have cancelled her Charlotte trip? And, quite frankly, other than traditional white guilt laden rhetoric espoused to enable law breakers and shame white people, what does Hillary have to offer when it comes to race relations?

Hillary, as well as President Barack Obama, have routinely floundered in the aftermath of police shootings involving black citizens. Rather than unite our nation and support law enforcement, Hillary-Obama have rallied to legitimize a #BlackLivesMatter movement that dresses in civil rights drag to hide the lawless, racist nature of its movement. 

Speaking of the Tulsa shooting of Terence Crutcher, Hillary decried the “systematic racism” in our justice system. “This horrible shooting again. How many times do we have to see this in our country,” Hillary asked.

“This is just unbearable,” Clinton said. “And it needs to be intolerable.” But equally unbearable is Hillary’s decision to use race, and the tenderness of this issue, the jeopardize law enforcement.

Hillary has a long history of using race to divide the country. Time and time again Hillary has sided with the BLM protester – who are not to be confused with the actual shooting victims – and left our law enforcement in the lurch.

“From Staten Island to Baltimore, Ferguson to Baton Rouge, too many African American families mourn the loss of a loved one from a police-involved incident,” Hillary said in a statement about the death of Alton Sterling. “Something is profoundly wrong when so many Americans have reason to believe that our country doesn’t consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin.”

Hillary has also lectured that White America must change its ways to stem the impending tsunami of African American aggression that promises to be lethal. To Hillary, Whitey is also to blame.

Meanwhile, President Obama used Dallas to push federal oversight for police and — just like he does with radical Islam — refused to identify the racial motivations of the Dallas killers. Obama further claimed that the #BlackLivesMatter war on police is not a sign of deep divisions in the America he and Hillary created.

“It is very hard to untangle to motives of this [Dallas] shooter. … You have a troubled mind … What feeds it? What sets it off? I’ll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents.” Obama said. But when a crazed shooter shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Democrats played psychologist and linked the gunman’s motives to Sarah Palin.

As Commander-in-Chief, Obama has a history of using the politics of race to build distrust between black communities and the law enforcement officers who patrol them. Commenting on the riots that did to Baltimore what Sherman did to Atlanta, President Barack Obama was somewhat sympathetic to the rioters and suspicious of police. After spending 90 seconds condemning the rioters, he spent five minutes reiterating his suspicion of the police. He said, “This has been a slow-rolling crisis … and we shouldn’t pretend that it’s new.”

And remember when black Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., was arrested by the Cambridge police? Obama said the police “acted stupidly,” hinting of racism. Then we had Trayvon Martin — whom Obama said would have looked like his son — and Michael Brown — whose death Obama said “stains the heart of black children.”

The Hillary-Obama narrative — that black men and boys live in constant fear of racist police departments — is not new, nor is it true. This is the narrative lawbreakers in cities like Charlotte use to justify their violence.

But we do not need Charlotte to know the costly consequences of the dangerous Obama-Hillary rhetoric. Days after Obama and Clinton fanned the flames of racial distrust in Baltimore, Brian Moore, a NYPD officer, was shot. Moore died shortly thereafter. Moore’s alleged killer was a man by the name of Demetrius Blackwell, a black man with a long rap sheet.

The rhetorically inspired deaths of these police officers need not be if we have a frank discussion on race. There is an epidemic facing police departments, and it is that the men in blue are most likely to be killed by a black perp than a perp of any other race. 2013 FBI statistics showed that blacks constituted 42 percent of all cop killers whose race is known. This is a “slow-rolling crisis” the President ignores.

Whether it is the media or progressive politicians, nobody wants to have this frank discussion; they would much rather lecture. But if folks like Hillary want to “come to terms with hard truths,” let’s start now.

Is Hillary ready to come to terms with why from 1980 to 2008, 93 percent of black homicide victims were killed by other blacks? Does she want to discuss why FBI statistics show that there were 2,648 black murder victims in 2014 and 2,412 (91 percent) were killed by a black perpetrator? She understood this when she uttered the phrase “super predators” when talking law and order in the 90s, but she placed her tail between her legs when Senator Bernie Sanders used those words to paint her as David Duke. 

Will Hillary — or any Democrat politician — come to terms with the fact that when it comes to interracial homicide, 13 percent of white victims were murdered by blacks, and 7 percent of black victims were murdered by whites? Are Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, willing to tell the black community in Chicago to change its ways with blacks killing blacks as the new normal?

A two-way discussion on race is needed in America. It is no longer acceptable for black leaders and white liberals to remind America of stereotypes in order to shoot down tough questions the black community must answer. We cannot tolerate Democrats passing the buck on race; too many lives are at stake.

By using the past to rationalize the present, we are permitting the cycle of violence to continue. When white guilt is the foundation for policy we remain stuck in a past that does not represent the present. Lawlessness rules, and cities are paralyzed.
