Watching the confirmation hearing with regard to Jeff Sessions, and seeing the disgraceful outburst by first term senator Cory Booker, was disturbing to say the least. Booker, is the former mayor of Newark, N.J., that is one of the more troubled cities in New Jersey. Like Chicago, the impoverished predominantly black neighborhoods spill into more affluent areas, bringing gang violence and crime with them. I have been to Newark, along with the adjoining town of Irvington N.J. These are the kind of places where you lock your car doors, even when the car is moving.
Booker’s inappropriate comments, with racist underpinnings at the Sessions confirmation, was despicable. His motivation for the outburst in the hearing is clear, there have already been rumors that he is being groomed to replace Obama, and restore Obama’s failed legacy and agenda, with a White House run in 2020.
The Obama administration has shown several examples of racism throughout the past eight years. Eric Holder can be quoted as stating, “I would rather be true to my race, than the constitution.” Obama gave a personal invite to Al Sharpton, an outspoken racist, to the White House, as well as other Black Lives Matter representatives, a clearly criminal organization, operating under the guise of “racial equality.” President Obama has inserted his racist opinion in almost every police confrontation involving a white officer and black suspect, accusing the white officer of racism before any trial or hearing was even set. In all the cases Obama was incorrect in his rash assumptions in these cases. Loretta Lynch did the same with the Freddie Gray incident in Baltimore, where four officers were accused and later found innocent of wrong doing. These are not attempts to achieve racial equality, they are attempts to give blacks preferential standards in society over not only whites, but all other people. Both Lynch and Holder have campaigned for preferential treatment of black people by our nation’s police forces, and frankly, have had some success in achieving this inequality.
Racial intimidation at the federal level through Obama’s tenure, directed at local and state law enforcement agencies across the country, have caused many agencies to take a hands off approach with black suspects. This is one of the primary causes for the substantial increase in crime in all the major cities across the U.S. The other main cause, although not readily recognized is the failed liberal entitlement programs that have encouraged the continued trends of fatherless families, rewarding unwed mothers for the number of children, not the success of the family unit. The generational dependency on these programs, have numbed the aspirations of dependants, leaving little or no incentive to improve themselves. The example of dignity and self-respect that comes from a child observing a working parent’s satisfaction and reward for their efforts is absent from the family unit. In essence these programs cripple families and children, leaving them to fend for themselves with the information learned on the streets from their peers.
All the literature that affirms this hypothesis is available if you know where to look. Several mayors and governors have adopted an approach that forces people to return to work, after receiving public assistance for short periods, through different types of incentives. In every single case the people who return to the workforce look back with gratitude for the ability to be rid of the assistance program.
Donald Trump understands this and has indicated to the impoverished inner city people that he wants to help. Democrats have taken a “hands off” approach to this for decades just throwing more and more taxpayer money at these failed programs. This has only exacerbated the situation, and now the situation has grown to an almost irreversible problem for the nation. Statistics do not lie. All the cities that have Democratic leadership, also have the biggest problems.
America needs to be honest with itself in a bipartisan way or the majority led Republican congress has to address this problem, or there will have to be martial law declared at some point to clean up the pestilence of crime and gang rule in these inner cities. Either way, the entitlement programs still need to be overhauled, or this situation will still persist. Democrats are not going to ever address this, because when you give people free money, you will always have their votes. The fat rich senators in congress don’t give a crap about how these people live, they live in huge houses, far from the inner cities and the threat of this stuff ever happening to them.
