Abolish Police? Black Residents in Harlem say ‘No’ as White Liberals push for it in video.

The only one's that are pushing for the police to be defunded and removed are those that think they can police themselves.  This is coming mainly from those under 30, and the communist/fascist/ socialist/Democrats are backing it, because they know it means votes for them in the future.  They are a sad bunch, that realize that we do not need law enforcement.

He is right.  The problems of black people can never be settled by white people.  It starts in the home and branches out to government.  We don't elect poor, uneducated, ill-mannered ex-criminals in congress.  While that sounds like profiling, it is not.  The problem with the black community is simple, but complicated to fix.  Black Americans started off deprived of education at its lowest levels.  When released from slavery, they were still mostly deprived of education except in schools run by Black people who were slightly educated in homes of white people.  That evolved but for generation after generation, families grew up uneducated.  That has been rectified mostly with integration and college scholarships.  However, you can't change the value of education...  Stay tuned, this ties into the rest of it...

This leads us to being poor.  When released from slavery, most former slaves were just turned free.  No job, no real trade.  So they went back to their former "Masters" and worked for just enough to feed their family...  Which also led to every capable person in their household to work to make ends meet.  That means 10 year olds working instead of school.  That becomes a mentality... trust me... I come from a home where it was hard to overcome the pressure of "making money now" instead of going to school...  That is what my family always did... I broke the mold, but it wasn't easy.  I am now very successful and so is my wife.  Which also means the likelihood of my children leaving home to be educated and specializing in a field extremely more likely than a person who does not continue education after school.  Stay tuned, this ties into even more...

This leads us to the criminal and "ill-mannered" black person.  Blacks were criminalized post slavery.  They look at a white woman they go to jail.  If they didn't say "yes sir" to a white man, they could be beaten and hung for disrespecting the white man.  All of the police were white.  Hell, the police were basically the front lines of the KKK.  So you oppress them so much, they are uneducated with no real trade, and you already criminalize them, they turn to stealing just to make ends meet.  Fast forward to today... 

None of this has really changed much.  We have seen an increase in educated black people in America, but not at the rate that would change lifestyle and public perception.  Poor black criminals in the 80s-90s finally found some black men who "made it."  Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Easy E, Snoop...  They were pot smokers (criminal at the time), disrespectful to women and authority, mostly uneducated, and sung about being gangsters and shooting police...  Huge increase in crime during that period...  

When I talk to my high school students about what they want to do after high school, most of my white middle class students talk about their unrealistic vet school and surgeon dreams.  My lower income black students are mostly "I don't knows" and "Professional athlete."  I try to stress the importance of education in my students.  Not just college, but trade skills also.  A skilled welder can leave high school making $42-50k a year with no professional experience.  A hard working oil-field "hand" can start at $40k +.  An 18 yr old truck driver with a CDL (you may have to be 21) can make $60k+ a year traveling cross country in a truck.  However, the typical low-income black family grows up hearing "you need a sports scholarship to go to school."  Or "we aren't ever going to make it out of this neighborhood."  It's sad, but its not fixed by white people...  This last part is why:

Us white people, conservative and liberal fix black problems in these ways:
1) We give away money without any real designation
2) We ignore it and hope time fixes it
3) We categorize it and analyze it but do nothing but talk about it
4) We join causes we don't really understand

Black Americans can be a superior race in this country.  The best athletes, best actors, best singers... hell, even the best golfer for a while has been BLACK.  I wish it was more than "get rid of the police" or "they are criminalizing us" etc.  It should be "Be like Alicia Keys.  Strive to be Barrack Obama.  Work hard at your craft like Tiger Woods.  Have the grit and goal of being the absolute best regardless of the cost like Micheal Jordan."  There are role models out there for black people to overcome the "oppressed" people group.  The people at home don't stress enough the value of these role model's hard work and education.  It is a mindset and it starts at the bottom and is hard to move up a level. 

I pray for this country and all black people that they can overcome this feeling of oppression and work to be model citizens and entrepreneurs and leaders of our country.  Making martyrs and heroes of criminals and saying "look at me!  Look at me!" will never fix the underlying issues.  Are some of the talking points today valid?  Hell yeah they are.  Police does need some changes.  If you ever find me the perfect organization or group that isn't called "Heaven" please hit me up so I can model my Utopian society after it.

Here’s an Even better example of someone for blacks (or Anyone, for that matter) to strive to emulate. If people cast off the “victim” mentality, the Sky is the limit....
