Black Panthers bring shame upon themselves again

Sorry, the "New Black Panthers" or whatever they're calling themselves these days. Who cares? They always have been and always will be an intellectually backward organization who, like Sharpton and Barron, seem intent on keeping ghetto black minds ignorant for the next thousand years at least.

Predictably, their protest march in Queens was characterized by downright bone-headedness.

"Those bastards should be in jail!" shouted one Black Panther as he led a tense protest in Queens yesterday against the police shooting of Sean Bell.

Oh really? Does this include the two black officers involved in the shooting? This would seem to contradict point 8 of the NBP's "10 Point Program" as outlined on their website:

8. We want freedom for all Black Men and Black Women held in international, military, federal, state, county, city jails and prisons.We believe that all Black People and people of color should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. ‘Released’ means ‘released’ to the lawful authorities of the Black Nation.

Presumably those two cops, under the wishes of the New Black Panthers, should be jailed (those bastards!) and immediately released for being black (my black brothers!). Seriously, I'm left wondering how they would approach this dilemma. What's most likely is that they would spew some hastily improvised rhetoric about "misguided brothers" being "kidnapped" by the "white oppressors" and "forced to shoot their own brothers and sisters". Or maybe they'd be denounced as "traitors" and as such exempt from the 10 Point Program.

The programs childish naivety betrays the Panthers as a group of simple minded boneheads who enjoy dressing in uniform and basking in the respect of the most ignorant of the ghetto black community - the only respect idiots like this are every going to attract. They epitomize the tendency of the African-American left to blame everyone but black people for the shortcomings of their communities. In this respect, attitudes such as theirs stand firm as the #1 obstacle in the progress of ghetto blacks today.

Caseem Jacobs, a self confessed member of the "Bloods" gang appeared to feel that the ignorant rhetoric of Shabazz was not heaping enough shame on black ghetto culture, not by a long shot:

"Soon, it's going to be an eye for an eye," said Jacobs, whose face was shrouded by a red handkerchief and dark shades.

As I've said before, the only way to deal with savage thugs like this is to treat them as terrorists. As the black columist Stanley Crouch has pointed out before, street gangs like the Bloods have, in LA alone, been responsible for around 10,000 violent murders since 1980 - that's three times the number of blacks lynched in the States between 1877 and 1900, the highest tide of racial murders in our nations history. In other words, thugs like Jacobs have brought more blood and more pain to Black America than any cops - thousands of times over. Until we see blacks marching through the streets demanding an end to this self-inflicted carnage, until we see blacks holding banners denouncing this barbaric and evil gang culture (as oppposed to celebrating it) then and ONLY then will we begin to see light at the end of the tunnel for these people. I believe in fact that the problem with the NYPD is that they are trying to deal with savagery in black neighborhoods that should really be dealt with by the military.

We can always count on Al Sharpton to say something stupid at these rallies:

"Recklessness will only make it look like Sean Bell and his friends were reckless and deserved what they got," said Sharpton.

Actually Al, what makes Sean Bell and friends appear reckless is their behaviour on the night, which included getting into a fight, threatening to come back and shoot people, then running over a cop. But whatever.

I'm a (cautious) fan of the New York Post these days - it's frequently been the only one to provide a voice to those who tell it like it is and who aren't afraid of the Big Bad Politically Correct Wolf, as this "cut the crap" op-ed piece by Adam Brodsky proves:

Start with a fact that every cop surely knows: While the victim of an accidental police shooting is likely to be black, so too is the perp when cops are killed.

Of 21 NYPD officers shot to death in the line of duty since 1994, police records show that 14 (67 percent) were killed by African-Americans, four (19 percent) by Hispanics and three (14 percent) by whites. (In one other case, the killers included one black and five Hispanics.)

And, yes, New York cops do confront blacks more than they do whites. But that's because blacks are disproportionately involved with crime - both as victims and as perps.

In other words, Brodsky shares my opinion that the only reason why these shootings happen so disproportionately to black kids is simply because their behaviour puts them in such desperate situations with the cops more often than anyone else. As long as leftist blacks continue to ignore the disease of thug culture and direct their wrath at fictional Boogeymen like "the cops" and "whitey", then the mayhem will continue. Instead, far too many of them seem to think that more thug culture is the answer (see protest above), a sentiment akin to a smoker believing the only cure for his lung cancer is more cigarettes. Black militance has only ever brought violence and incarceration to the black population, with no progress made at all. In fact, after the noble cause of the MLK civil rights movement subsided and made way for the theatrics of the Black Power movement as John McWhorter points out, ghetto blacks have fared progressively worse. McWhorter stands as one of the most reasoned, objective voices in black academia today and his analysis of the problems of black America should be read by everyone.
