STOP DEMANDING. LOOK INWARD. GET TO WORK.
Harping on White Privilege and trying to prey on White Fragility and White Guilt is a form of begging. Like all that rap crap about "respect", it is futile. You do not gain your own "privilege" or "respect" by begging or demanding. You certainly don't get either by burning buildings, trashing monuments or looting stores. "No Justice. No Peace." basically threatens a tantrum if demands are denied. Childish behavior at best.
The mob enables regression into primitive states of aggression. The mob can destroy, but it cannot build a coherent and sustainable structure. No anarchy has ever succeeded over time. Anarchists tend to devour themselves and extinguish their own flames. The French Revolution's Reign of Terror is a stunning example.
Ignorance is a blunt weapon when manipulated by intelligentsia. Academics of this age have mobilized a madness against an imagined enemy. A peaceful and prosperous America has most likely proven fallow ground for their desire to seed revolution, so they may rule from their Ivory Towers. So they have mobilized the mob with slogans aimed at triggering the propaganda they have sown into media-dulled young minds for twenty years or more.
How many members of a given mob would be able to sculpt and cast a statue like the ones being defaced and hurled from their pedestals? How many would be willing to work in a foundry with molten metal or a quarry where granite pedestals are hewn from cliffs? Yet the glee in destroying the sweat and creative labors of the few with skills is the mob's fuel, not the ideals of justice or equality.
Building a peaceful and prosperous society is hard work. All those shining cities and pristine suburbs which the mobs despise have been built and maintained by hard work. Defacing and destroying is easy work for the mob, drunk on self-righteous entitlement. Picking up afterwards for minimum wage is the stuff of true grit.
There is ample evidence that placing your hopes on demanding or begging will ultimately get you nothing but a shabby tent under a freeway. Violent demanding in a destructive mob can reap you even worse results. Slogans like "Defund the police." belie the beggarly mentality of the current social justice brigades. After all, if you are a taxpayer and a citizen in America, you have many ways of living that value by working hard. Whining while holding a placard won't change anything. Take a job on your local police force, if you dare. Be the change, as Obama once exhorted.
Of whom are these mobs demanding the defunding of police? Their mommies and daddies, perhaps?Well, they should get a grip. Their moms and dads have no intention of giving up 911. Why? Because the moms and dads who have enabled many of these middle class children to spend days not working while partying in the streets have property and fairly decent lives to protect.
"Professional" social justice organizers, as represented by Antifa mug shots and BLM spokespeople, have their missions. Some of those missions have been born out of social dysfunction and poverty. Others out of drug abuse and bad company. Others perhaps are funded by remote actors who wish to sabotage America for any number of reasons. And the genuine few will participate, learn and move on as individuals. Good for them.
That latter group will look inward and realize that they can only contribute to the betterment of society by joining it, not by tearing it apart. And that is hard work for the idealist, because society is never ideal anywhere.
How will the disgruntled get "social justice"? Social justice comes from being socially just. It means working hard. It means staying at least relatively sober. It means accumulating social equity in the form of financial and emotional security. It means paying taxes, not causing destruction that must be paid for by taxpayers. It means helping others by first supporting yourself and your family, not the other way around.
Our troubles have little to do with race at all. Educators, religious leaders, politicians and social justice types have fostered the entitlement culture in poor America. Our business leaders have turned to globalism to cut labor costs at the expense of American workers who are not intellectuals but have manual skills for trades and manufacturing. Rather than opening generous pathways to sustaining work, our Leftist politicians have opened a path to exploitation of illegal immigration. Our welfare system enables poorly educated single mothers to have children.
There is no mass killing of decent Americans by police. There are no insurmountable walls stopping the willing from getting out of poverty in America. There are too many institutions in America promoting lies, old grudges, fear and hatred in poor communities. Stop demanding, Look inward and get to work. Stop listening to those who tell you you are a victim. See if you can prove me wrong.
