Nothing has done more harm to black Americans this century than “Black Lives Matter”. This sinister movement cares nothing about black welfare but is obsessed with white sin. It has pounced with glee on the horrible police killing of George Floyd. It casts a light on a sad mystery of modern America. 

The mystery is this. Why have African Americans fared much worse in the last hundred year than other minority ethnic groups, such as Asian Americans? Why have they done worse than white Americans or, more significantly, than recent black immigrants (many black people around the world dream of living in the US). Violent crime is much higher among black Americans than other groups. The chances of a young black American being killed by another young black American are far higher than the chances of anyone else being killed by anyone else. Blacks are at the bottom of educational tables, and they are admitted to universities with lower academic scores than Asians or whites. Black family life is calamitous. Walter E. Williams, a professor of economics at George Mason University, argued in his autobiography, Up from the Projects, that even in the antebellum era, when slaves often weren’t permitted to wed, most black children lived with a biological mother and father. During Reconstruction and up until the 1940s, 75% to 85% of black children lived in two-parent families. Today, more than 70% of black children are born to single women. He writes: ‘The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn’t do, what Jim Crow couldn’t do, what the harshest racism couldn’t do. And that is to destroy the black family.’

Since then, the black family has fallen apart, and few black children are brought up with a married mother and father. Why?

The reasons are glaring across your TV screens: the black exploiters of black people and rich white parasites who encourage them.

George Floyd, a black man with a criminal record, was arrested by four policemen on suspicion of a minor crime. He did not resist. As Floyd lay on the ground, one policeman, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for 9 minutes, in gross violation of police procedures. The others watched and did nothing. Floyd died. Chauvin has been charged with second degree murder, the others with aiding and abetting. Floyd’s killing has been universally condemned, including by President Trump. Floyd’s previous crimes included breaking into the home of a pregnant black woman with four male accomplices, pointing his gun at her pregnant womb, and demanding valuables and drugs.

It is as if Black Lives Matter had been yearning for some incident of white racism. Good racial relations are death for them. The killing of George Floyd was manna from heaven. Gloating with delight, professional black racists such as the Rev Al Sharpton responded eagerly, launching a series of protests, riots, looting, burning and violence across America. A church was burnt down. Little businesses were smashed. A gentle old black policeman, David Dorn, was killed by the looters.

The data of police killings in the US show that a white suspect caught by the police is slightly more likely to be killed by them than a black suspect (I don’t know why).  I don’t know whether Chauvin was a racist or just a thug but there is no good evidence of institutionalised police racism in America today. This doesn’t bother Sharpton, who seems to care little about truth and less about the fate of black Americans. Decent black Americans are being terrorised in poor black communities by a minority of black criminals and political activists, with this violence often being excused by people like Sharpton.

Even worse than Sharpton is the sickening white elite, mainly from the Democratic Party, who excuse the black criminals and ignore the fate of their black victims. They mourn George Floyd but ignore David Dorn. They control most of the US big media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN. They live in splendid isolation from the working classes and the black ghettos; they would be horrified at the thought of their children attending a black school; they would run a mile to get away from poor blacks. They are now kneeling before the black wreckers, surrendering power to them – but not where they live of course. They agree with the fascists of Black Lives Matter that the police must withdraw their protection from poor black people and sacrifice them to the criminals. In central Seattle, the Democrat leaders have surrendered to the fascist mob who have taken over with guns, barricades, stop and frisk, and threats of violence. The fascists now call their little Reich “CHAZ” (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone). The Democrat Mayor, Jenny Durkin, cringes and cowers before them, but has never ventured into CHAZ. Under Covid-19 lockdown, Democrat mayors banned social gatherings and prevented children seeing their dying parents but have no objection to criminals rioting and looting at close quarters.

Whites are too cowardly to tell the truth. Some blacks are made of sterner stuff. Please listen to this black woman: Candace Owens Gives George Floyd Facts, although there are some in the white Democratic establishment who will try discredit her.
