Nike and the Left's Continued Low Expectation of the Black Male
Bob Parks

Black and Blonde Media

During Tuesday night's broadcast of the Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game, notwithstanding the horrifying live broadcast of Gordon Hayward's dislocated ankle/broken tibia, a long-form advertisement by Nike once again showed the world what too many assume are one of the few options of upward mobility for cinematically-depicted impoverished black people.

Basketball ...
Goes on to explain how Nike and Apple perpetuate this myth through their TV ads that a black child's only way out of the ghetto is sports or hiphop, with video clips.  Read the entire thing here

Thuggin' and druggin', pimpin', lootin' and shootin' is what the Left thinks the black man is and should be, and their OBLM suck ups play right along hoping they can grift some more big money out of the FedGov.
The Republic is lost.

There are slightly different stats on this, but the basic fact is that black males are around 6% of the population and they are responsible for over 50% of the violent crime, it may be 65% or higher.

That simply is unacceptable and i'm sure everyone else, black or white who cares about our country would agree.

Jesse Jackson:

"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating."

Remarks at a meeting of Operation PUSH in Chicago (27 November 1993). Quoted in "Crime: New Frontier - Jesse Jackson Calls It Top Civil-Rights Issue" by Mary A. Johnson, 29 November 1993, Chicago Sun-Times (ellipsis in original). Partially quoted in "In America; A Sea Change On Crime" by Bob Herbert, 12 December 1993, New York Times.

The staggeringly high   black crime rate has been a fact for almost one hundred years.  Some time ago I found a source on the internet for that info.  Some people believe that the Johnson admin was mainly responsible for the acceleration of black crime, but the facts are blacks have always committed outside numbers of crime. Not as bad as now, but still not good.
However, it is so embarrassing to all the correct people about that reality that black crime has been either glossed over/minimized or totally ignored by the powers that be. If mentioned  at all (black crime), Evil Whitey is often blamed.
The question is: what to do about it?
Keep minimizing/ ignoring the problem, keep blaming Evil Whitey, or try to face the facts and quit the lying and patronizing? Especially quit blaming Whitey for black problems.
My selection is the third option. It's way past time blacks and naive liberals learned the truth. Nothing will ever improve if things are allowed to go on the way they have for the past fifty years.
As a group, blacks will never get on the road to being treated the same as all other groups in America until the black criminality problem is addressed honestly.
