The level of propaganda is amazing Meanie. We make the Nazis look like a Sunday school with modern 24/7/365 color news feed of the correct thoughts.
I think the current crop of black leaders are only interested in making white and black people afraid of each other, and collecting their cut of whatever funds/publicity/commitment they can extort form the government by waving around the prospect of mass violence. The media rewards them for this behavior, the same way they reward mass murders: with equivocation, doubts, and free publicity on TV that costs a fortune to produce.
The result? Riots-on-demand, as some violent reprobate addict, killed under restraint during a drug induced dementia, is acclaimed St. George and given a king's funeral with antique livery. How can this be?
Humans operate in a series of historical booms and busts. Things have to pile up before we take them seriously, and then it can be to late.
I think the market, the news, and human endeavor will continue to bounce like a superball. Boom and bust. Boom and bust.
When they built the X-15 they found out it was too touchy to be piloted by a human. Corrections always came too hard and too late. Boom and bust.
To fly rockets around we had to develop systems that could do it for us. Systems with appropriate responses.
We don't have social systems with appropriate responses. We have greedy responses and weak responses and late responses.
Showing that the folks flying the system were really always engaged in an over-controlled crash.
Fredrick Douglas knew the answer almost 200 years ago:
govt must keep their cotton-pickin' hands off of people's lives and let them figure it out as they develop to be themselves. Don't try to map out their lives and fortunes. That is between them and their God.
Black, white, or whomever, government meddling was never going to work out for anyone but greedy abusers and carpetbaggers.
Sharpton, Jackson, Waters and their ilk ARE the modern carpetbaggers. Sending their own folks down the drain for a profit.
It's taking way too long for folks to figure this out, and the constant media smokescreen doesn't help.
