‘Acting Black’: The Real Reason Black Men Get Shot by Police

For over half a century now, the U.S. federal government has insisted that black people do not have to abide by the same rules and standards as everyone else. Initially, the reasoning was that since they’d been deprived of equal education and opportunities by continuing racial animosity (e.g., Jim Crow legislation in some states), government programs would help level the playing field, giving blacks a jump start on developing the practical and social skills to compete equally in the job market. Sounds great in theory, doesn’t it?
However, like all government programs, the practical effect didn’t live up to the rhetoric. The fact that some black Americans continued to live in poverty was supposedly the proof of an ongoing racism, so from the sixties until this very day white guilt-ridden politicians continue throwing money and programs at the perceived racial inequality. Nobody knows the true amount, but the trillions spent specifically for blacks since the sixties is a damn sight greater than the once-promised “40 acres and a mule”! Yet the New Black Panther party, for one, is still calling for reparations and “what we’re owed,” one hundred and fifty years after slavery was abolished and after over half a century and trillions of dollars have been taken from the rest of the country to help black Americans escape poverty.
