Black lives really do not matter to BLM

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

This is Sad

The Brown Opinion Project recently asked their undergraduates: Do you think America is the greatest country in the world?

Only 12.9 percent of undergraduates answered yes, while 74.7 percent answered no. 

This isn’t a surprise with the false narratives that Democrats and liberals embrace and propagate. 

Hannah Nicole Jones and the New York Times continue to push the false narrative that slavery was the centerpiece of America’s Founding and also the very reason for the American Revolution. Actually slavery was very contentious at the time of the revolution and Constitution and it was only “the Great Compromise” between the Northern and Southern states that allowed this country to form. This tension remained a crucible of discontent that resulted in the Civil War where over 650,000 Northerners (equivalent to over 9 MILLION of todays US population) died to end slavery. 

And then you have left wing “historians” like Howard Zinn that look at specific times of history and then focus on a single narrow negative aspect to conclude and EDUCATE students that America’s history is horribly negative. Yes, if you look at Columbus and the effect of Europeans coming to America it was horrible for Native Americans.  But in context, in the history of the world, it is far from unsual that a much lower technology population  be displaced by a much higher technology population when new lands were discovered. 

I believe America is the greatest country in the world because of the freedom and opportunities it provides to ALL. And yes I believe in American exceptionalism. 

It’s parenting NOT systemic racism

The problems of poverty, pathology and inequality in the United States are not primarily due to poor schools, discrimination, or low incomes. The primary cause is parents. Parents without time, skills or values are the most significant problem. 

And being a single parent must make it much much more difficult.

Cure(lockdown) worse than disease?

So maybe the FDA (and Twitter,  Facebook AND  teacher’s unions and Democrats) were wrong and actually did more damage than good with their position on lockdowns and their censoring and silencing if opposing views. 

In October 2020 a group of scientists including world renowned epidemiologist s and infectious disease doctors advised (The Great Barrington Declaration) the US to protect the vulnerable from COVID but to NOT lockdown because

the harm the lockdown would do to the rest of society. Not only was the advice ignored it was silenced and censored by Democrats supported by the administrative state at the CDC and FDA, teacher unions and social media. 

Why?  Who knows for sure. But keeping the lockdown in place was hurting the economy and Trump

A major study by Johns Hopkins University earlier this year concluded that global lockdowns have had a much more detrimental impact on society than they have produced any benefit, with researchers urging that they “are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
