The statistics are startling to the observer. Imagine being a parent trying to raise kids in this atmosphere! This is a crisis in Obama’s hometown and yet he has done nothing to address the disgrace. Hillary Clinton’s agenda is a continuation of the current administration agenda:
Reports this week are horrific and yet, not surprising. Chicago has had its most violent month since 1997, with the Chicago Tribune reporting 11 people murdered the last weekend of August. According to USA Today, the murder rate in Chicago has soared 72 percent in 2016.
But here’s the number which should give every American true perspective: In Afghanistan, from the start of the war in 2001 to August 2016, there have been 2,384 American casualties. In Chicago, since 2009 to August 2016, there have been 3,686 homicides. In other words, under President Obama’s watch, there have been 1,302 more people murdered in an American city in half the time compared to the longest war in U.S. history.
Law and order in Chicago is the responsibility of local authorities but the President has ignored high levels of mostly black on black murders while at the same time pursuing an agenda that targets police officers unfairly. His economic policy has failed to deliver an economy that answers the economic needs of people in communities like Chicago. His failure to support school choice or speak harshly about the unions stronghold that sends and keeps bad teachers in poor communities.
It’s a curious thing to watch the first black president embrace Black Lives Matter while failing so spectacularly to address these problems in a meaningful way. His agenda has instead been militant, an agenda to create animosity among the races and against law and order. What possible goal does this agenda serve? One possibility is a global goal to bring down Western (European white) nations in service to an open borders, centrally planned (Soros) vision:
Prominent on Black Lives Matter’s website is a list of its 12 “Guiding Principles.” These principles serve as a vision statement for what the group hopes to accomplish. So, if Black Lives Matter had the ability to wave a proverbial “magic wand” to create its reality in the black community, these principles would be it. However, if you objectively read these principles, you will quickly notice that most of them have nothing to do with the issues facing the black community and, certainly, not the black men and boys that the group has used as “martyrs” to gain a national voice. Moreover, as you read the principles, you will not find a single reference to black men and boys, except for “trans brothers,” which are men who want to be considered women.
Also, it is clear that the Black Lives Matter ideology sees no role for black men, especially not as husbands and fathers. For example, consider the guiding principle titled, “Black Villages”:
“We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially ‘our’ children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable.”
This is an African model. The model Hillary used in her book, “It Takes a Village.” I urge all Americans to take a look at the African village…it looks an awful lot like Chicago. Is that what we want for America? Or are we going to resoundingly send these militants packing? Donald Trump has a law and order plan to restore safety to our streets and revive failing cities. Hillary is a failing and frail villager without a plan.
If black lives matter, then Black Lives Matter would be addressing these issues, not creating a false, despicable, and intentionally disruptive and destructive left-wing narrative about police.
Black lives don’t mean squat, not to Obama, not to BLM, not to Democrats, not to many other blacks and black organizations. If they did matter, then these horrendous problems would be being addressed instead of fomenting riots and spreading hate about whitey.
I have visited the BLM website and have read their guiding principles. They are radicalized, extreme left-wing lunatics spewing a load of ineffective feel-good, half-witted socialist/communist garbage and offer NO solutions. In fact, what they do offer is part and parcel of boilerplate Democrat party lip service and the usual vomitous academic activist nonsense. The only thing they seek is to radicalize people to their “cause.” Much like Muslim jihadists seek to radicalize Muslims.
The only disgrace I’m seeing is the appalling resurgence of flagrant racism in this country, and across Europe … a sickening relapse … I hope we get through without any global carnage.
Nothing more telling about Obumble in that the carnage in his own home town continues to occur while he jets around on vacations and fundraisers and has been deafeningly silent on Chicago’s murder rate – for nearly 8 years!
And it also showes that all the claims that “gun control” would work is proved wrong with one word: Chicago.
Actually, Chicago is one of his chief arguments FOR gun control. You really, really should check in with the real news, once in a while.
Which shows the man is either blatantly ignorant or as cold and heartless as they get.
Chicago is run by the Chicago machine (His Buddies)…corrupt Democrats that care more about the money they can skim than the people. Obama has done nothing but fan the flames with all his divisive cop hating activist crap. He’s had eight years to make things better and done zot!
Chicago Reporter:
The don’t have to have white neighbors. They need business…balck businesses would be nice. But who would start a business in such a hell hole with no opportunity for survival. This is where Obama’s activist skills could be doing some good. And if his economy was 2% higher it would also make big a difference. Black folks have to figure it out that the problem is broken families, broken schools, and clean up their communities. A good economy would support that effort.
Are you normally ignorant, or do you have to practice?
Chicago has extremely strict gun control laws. However they don’t work because CRIMINALS don’t obey them!
Sheesh Libby, you are an emotional and mental train wreck. It is truly stunning just how stupid and ignorant you are. Did your “jerk” father have any kids that lived?
Gun control in Chicago only serves to stonewall law abiding citizens. With all that “gun control”, it is a murder capital in the US. Do you EVER pay any attention? Why are you so damn stupid?
Moving on from this idiot …
Murder numbers don’t tell the story in Chicago. Shootings do.
