   Is Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory white or black?

   As Forrest Gump famously said: “Stupid is as stupid does.” Any organization led by a Julian Bond is bound to try to make something to be angry about of so obviously a true observation. Too bad the major is not black.

   McCrory’s comments….“too many of our youth, primarily African Americannon-caucasian, non-asian, non-hispanic, non-indian, non-muslim… are imitating and/or participating in a gangster type of dress, attitude, behavior and action.”

   There, tried to fix it and make it PC. Alas, tried.

   Where is the racism? Backing up his statement with statistics, the Mayor, was speaking to the issues he is facing in his community.

   If you are not the resolution to the problem you are the problem, NAACP. It is time to put up or shut up. Stop pointing the finger and bring a solution.

   Does this mean the NAACP is going to go after Bill Cosby next? Because he’s been saying the same stuff that McCrory said for years now. I’m not holding my breath.

    Now it’s “insensitive” to tell the truth?

    Well, let’s point out insensitivity by NAACP race-hustlers:

    Two officers were shot by three black men here in NYC. One officer is in critical/grave condition and is paralyzed. He’s now on life support. The other is recovering.

    This was a similar situation to the tragic events that took place when a black man was killed by police officers who approached his car outside a strip club (the individuals in the car made suspicious movements and began to flee, creating an ensuing fire-fight that left a groom to be dead). Al Sharpton led a march down the street in an effort to rally the black community against police officers.

    See any coincidence here?

    Also, I didn’t see Al Sharpton in NYC this week asking the black community to help find the suspects as the fled and to bring them to justice.

    Sharpton and fellow race hustlers should be held accountable for the hostile feelings toward police officers that they helped ingrain in the minds of blacks here in NYC.

    I also don’t see the NAACP in Newark condeming the behavior of it’s former mayor who was indicted today.

    Gosh, being insensitive! Heaven forbid…can we say that over 70% of the black children born are born to unmarried women?…can we say that over 49% of the U.S. Prison population is black?…how about if we say that one in three black men between the ages of 20-29 are in prison, jail, on probation or on parole…can we say that the fastest growing group of prisoners is black women!?…can we say that 12% of the black 16-24 age group are not now in school or did not graduate high school?….when are these race baiting scum going to look at the real issues and quit screaming like children when someone speaks the truth, no matter how unpalatable. To change these terrible statistics, you first need to get rid of the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons and the NAACP type organizations. Keeping race in the headlines is not the way and having an entire race as “protected” and needing to be taken care of…that is not the way either. Can’t we all just get along?

    According to Democratic Presidential candidate Gravel this is because of the war on drugs, which is “biased towards blacks”. He, consequently, wants to end the war on drugs when he becomes president (dreaming) and let all of the drug dealers out of prison.

    Black, black, black, Afro American, gangster, rap,…..blah, blah, blah,

    WHO CARES? Call me cracker, I am not offended. Most of them in this area want a free ride…welfare, babies out of wedlock, walking the streets, wearing designer duds, selling drugs, crime, - it’s sickening!

    I hope they compete with all the illegals. Fun to watch that unfold!

    It may be a tall tale, by my dad (who was a career Probation Officer in Cali) once told me about a proposed plan by the Los Angeles PD to give shooting lessons to L.A. area gangsters. The idea was, that innocents were being killed in drive-bys, and that by training the gangsters to shoot, they’d actually hit each other for a change. . .resulting in fewer gangsters.

    Of course, in the end, groups such as the NAACP found out and squashed the idea with a quickness.

    Some things just never change. A long time ago, during the Rodney King riots, someone asked me what my thoughts were. I replied that all it did was perpetuate the stereotype. This situation is exactly the same, and the NAACP, along with other “race card” players, still don’t get it. And as long as they continue to play the “race card”, it’ll never change. The stereotype lives on.

    The race card only has value if people let it have value. At some point the black community is going to have to address the problems in their community and take appropriate actions to correct them instead of looking for sympathy and living off of victimhood. It’s called growing up. If you have an issue, you own up to it and fix it. You don’t blame someone else for your shortfalls. That’s toddler mentality. It just kills me how, in this case, they were more outraged by the mayor’s comments than they were with the behaviour of the members of their community. Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees.

    As a Charlottean, I can tell you that Mayor McCrory just reassured his re-election this autumn. Even one of the city’s most prominent black Dems has come to his support. The state NAACP head did his news conference WITH the state’s Dem House minority caucus leader. It was there one attempt to take the mayor down and be Dem heros. It has backfired. Now if Bill Cosby will come on down and reiterate it. Congratulations on your re-election Mayor!

    I was merely echoing what I perceived to be your attitude, in particular the use of the word “immediately” when asking for sources on a blog comment thread. It seemed to me to be very rude and demanding, especially when such information is readily accessible via web search engines.

    White is a shade. Many of us could relate actual gross situations connected with gangs. Many, not all are black youth who grew up in single family homes with no male guidance. The fault lies with the Social-Democrats and their failed “war on poverty” beginning around 1965. Forty-two years later, things are not much better. The failure is with moral bankrupcy, not more money that is used to buy drugs and other frivolous items.
