Here’s the cold, indifferent yet highly predictable company line, coming out of “the Right” via its official, authentic voice - Redneck Radio, concerning the cold-blooded murder of Treyvon Martin at the hands of an angry, paranoid, hostile White man: “What’s the big deal here, a few-dozen Black boys die on the streets of LA, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Boston Houston and Philly every Friday n’ Saturday nights across America...at the hands of other young Black men and there’s no outcry, no demand for justice.”

Open Season on Ni**ers Sharp n' Blunt By Desi Cortez BlackCommentator.com Columnist

Here’s the cold, indifferent yet highly predictable company line, coming out of “the Right” via its official, authentic voice - Redneck Radio, concerning the cold-blooded murder of Treyvon Martin at the hands of an angry, paranoid, hostile White man: “What’s the big deal here, a few-dozen Black boys die on the streets of LA, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Boston Houston and Philly every Friday n’ Saturday nights across America...at the hands of other young Black men and there’s no outcry, no demand for justice.” There are a number of rebuttals to such a simple-minded observation, but they start with US History 101 and the White man’s documented propensity to randomly kill Black folks on a whim... The desire to declare “Open Season on Ni**ers” is an age old, All-American concept. But let look at this from all-sides. An internal family conflict is one thing - the   brothers can call each other all kinds of names - beat the hell out of each other - but let the Spaneilli family or the Pagona brothers call little Billy O’Leary a cheat and a liar... that’s another different kind of thing all together, and that’s merely human nature. Can you say the Hatfields and the McCoys... internal conflict? I do not need to draw with the written word a picture depicting the Black mothers who beg for peace in the ghetto. The community activist, politicians and preachers operating “this program” or funding “that project” achieve only feeble results in attempting to slow the internal self-destruction we Blacks wage upon ourselves. No one, not even angry White folks, can tell me there’s no effort by Black folks to halt the murders of Black boys by Black men, nonetheless we face millions of Black boys who were born into a contrived, make-believe world where they’ve been painted n’ tainted by the White majority as inherently inferior, as well as violent, war-like, and extremely over-sexed... and a sorry but significant portion lower themselves to such gutter-low expectations. “If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don’t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.” - Carter G. Woodson On top of the brainwashing, there’s no debating we live in a designed-to trickle-down-society, where the folks at the bottom are there by design, not coincidence nor happenstance, and purposely divided along lines of color, class, gender and religion, left to fight over the crumbs and make our collective / individual conquering a coldly calculated given. And my God, Black folks have been stuck at the bottom now for four hundred years. Scores of us have been mentally, emotionally, financially and physically pushed and shoved, beaten down into believing, accepting the value placed on our Black lives by White folks - which is zero, absolutely nothing, the same identical value the Sanford Florida police force placed on young Mr. Martin. It is accurate and true; we don’t think much of ourselves, by design. It’s no secret that there is an elite power base in America which endeavors to make sure the condition of Black America is critical by out-pricing quality health care, undermining the funding of public education, and making a concerted effort to mark and tag from birth Black males as “thugs.” It starts with the tip-top establishment, from the Heritage Foundation to the Koch brothers and the Coors family, sexist and racist elitists who underwrite politicians who, in turn, write more laws than create US jobs - laws which authorize the building of more prisons than preschools. Insert Ronnie “666” Ray-Gun’s Revolution and specifically the Iran-Contra-Compton-Crackgate, which upped the ante, put AK 47s and Uzis on the streets ushered in this latest era of gangster warfare being waged by young, mildly educated and very desperate Black men who see the “underworld” as the only world in which they are equipped to prosper... and you’ve got a wild, wild west frontier mentality enveloping Black America. Need I pull out Chuck-the-Chalkboard and graphically illustrate in Black n’ White how the deliberate, coordinated economic evacuation of the US industrial and manufacturing base, the strategic exodus of urban Breadwinner gigs eroded any slim chance held by Black workers at achieving the American Dream? The transference of jobs to India created drug dealers and hustlers in the Gary and Peoria Indianas all across the land. Please, it doesn’t take genius to recognize the Blue-blood aristocrats and their butt-kissing wanna’ be sidekicks - those in the investor class. They have, in a calculating, Vulcan-like manner, sold out the American worker, and specifically the Black worker, tactically pulling the floor from beneath the American worker. The last hired... very first fired. Please note: today it is the haves, the have mores, the have every damn thing there is folks who sit-back and sip wine, openly marveling at the barbaric measures the little people will take to survive. Ain’t that a... Every night, hundreds of White men beat their wives, and I mean beat the hell out of them, and despite the anger management programs out there and the shelters for abused women, White men continue to beat women. White men with degrees from Ivy League schools, military academies, noted private religious institutions, from some of the best homes in the best of neighborhoods... And some of those same credentialed White men steal retirement funds, knowing they hurt working class people of all colors with real dreams of college or retirement. So-called “White collar” crimes also damage. But before I allow card-carrying John Birch Society members to take some high n’ mighty moral high road, presenting themselves as innocent spectators in American violence, I must ask the obvious: Why do White men on Wall Street pimp n’ exploit, loot and pillage poor White women on “Main Street?” Why do minor league investors allow the undercutting of 90% of the American work force so that they can buy another German made car or purchase another vacation home in Cabo? What about the molestation which takes place in the Catholic Church... Dysfunctionalism reigns free in US society, and no racial group, no “tribe” has a monopoly. No racial group has cornered the market on Neanderthal behavior detrimental to our overall good. Why do the vast, overwhelming majority of White folks sit silently as half the country cries out for justice? Is it because this silent-majority believes Black people, as a whole, are little more than criminals and drug addicts? Expectations are that low? If they do sit as mutes, and millions do, it only verifies that today’s Republican TEA Party member sees Americans of Color just as his father did, and his father before that, and his father before him. Yes, we’re just Niggers, Injuns, Spics and Chinks. We don’t love our children, we don’t have morals, values, character nad goals - we just want to make little brown people and have White folks foot the bill. I don’t know. I don’t have a easy answer why Black boys kill each other. Why did all Euro-American immigrant groups spend a few decades mired in organized crime before being permitted to drift into mainstream America – to assimilate and be absorbed. Oh, what do you say - Black folks aren't welcome in Mainstream USA? That’s what White Flight translates into. This is where I get lost. Have Black folks forgotten recent US History? No! The last two generations, those born into a post-apartheid America seemingly, apparently never learned it.
