Why Do White Lives Matter?

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

To answer this question you need to know what you are talking about. And before you suggest that I am wrong, you need to do a little research, to discover the real truth. Before I start this article, I want you to know that I do not support racism in any way. Equality, fairness, and social harmony; yes, racism; no.

Okay first: The Washington Post database that demonstrates that the population of Black people in the U.S. is approximately 13 percent. This is true, but misleading because believe it or not there are places in the U.S. that don’t have Black people. If you compare the populations of many of our major cities, the Black population ranges anywhere from 23 to over 60 percent. Using those same population figures there are more White people killed by Police than Black people. Before you get all up in your stuff to tell me I am wrong, go look at the data. Knowing this fact is not the big deal you may believe it is. Knowing this fact and wondering why our government, clergy, educators, and people we trust aren’t doing the research and telling us the truth is the big deal.

And second: Black Lives Matter, the organization was made to support a gay sports player, had nothing to do with supporting the Black population at all, and had no intent to do so. Having the right name and being in the right place at the right time allowed these people to take advantage of White Corporate America that in fear dumped millions of dollars in donations while BLM founders scooped it up, laughing it up as they were suddenly rich. BLM was not there to support George Floyd. They were there to grab misdirected money and did so. Since that day BLM people have done nothing to support Black people. They have however, joined the ranks of the “rich and famous.”

And third: The claims that Black people do not have opportunity as the Whites is another lie not adequately researched by anybody to make such claim. The data is available but not yet collected adequately to make a true determination. However, what data is available paints a very different picture. My interest in this topic came about from a situation in which a sports team hired a temporary head coach with no experience over a Black Assistant Coach and the media erupted with claims of racism. Looking at the sports organization I discovered that not only do they report the racial figurers for Players and Coaches but they also provide racial figures for damn near every employee of the Organization. Black Players made up from 60 to 80 percent of the Organizations Players, Black Coaches made up roughly 35 percent of the coaching staff. This prompted my delving into the topic further, so I reviewed “entertainment.” Who is the big loser in this topic? Asians! Blacks scored 25 to 35 percent in a majority of media and entertainment occupations. Again, knowing this fact is not the big deal you may believe it is. Knowing this fact and wondering why our government, clergy, educators, and people we trust aren’t doing the research and telling us the truth is the big deal. Going back to the 13 percent rule . . . what percentage of these jobs?

The point I am trying to show you is we are being fed lies with intent to create racial disharmony, and we are falling for it. Aren’t you tired of being lied to? Right now coast-to-coast in America our Government and Organizations are giving benefits to Black people while precluding Whites opportunity for the same benefit. Corporate America is telling their Hiring Managers not to hire White people. Do you really believe that Black people are the only race suffering the lower economy levels. Even if the entire 13 percent Black people were at such level, which they are not. There are at least an equal number of Whites suffering the same issues. And you have to ask, “do White Lives Matter.”

They are giving these benefits to Blacks and Others, excluding Whites under guise of fairness to the Black race. But what they are actually doing is building a whole new racism. This is the bottom of our economy levels. Do you think it fair one race benefit while another doesn’t? Another thing this situation does is highlight the true problem. Our Government is STUPID and cannot figure out the need for color-blindness in Government. To become color-blind requires maturing enough to seek fairness and equality regardless skin color. Really not that hard to do.

We need to stop living these lies. Don’t believe me. Do the research yourself. If you are in an occupation in which you are carrying these lies forward, quit your job or do the research to find the truth. All Lives Matter lets accept that and move forward.

Are We All So Unaware . . .

I was reading an article which read that the woman insulted her deceased father calling him racist. No, I didn’t continue reading that article because it suddenly occurred to me, “What else did she expect of her father?”

I’m elderly, which means dinosaurs roamed the earth up until a week before I was born. Not really, but the generation before mine was really racist. My grandfather and yours regardless of skin color was absolutely racist. Why? Because society at that time required it. Interracial relationships of any sort were not very popular and the idea of a romantic relationship would not make it past the idea stage.

My fathers generation brought with it the racism from their parents but found a portion of acceptance and tolerance between the races. It was the age of segregation and the KKK but the entire population was not diehard racist. By the end of my parents generation the “N” word was still commonly in use and a society that claimed equality of man, made efforts to become such with only a small step forward.

Along came my generation, and with an angry parentage due to riots, affirmative action, and desegregation my generation was wrought with racial discord from every angle. But with my generation came hope. By reaching the age of adulthood most of us had learned that we had to do better. We had to learn acceptance and tolerance and actually believe in the idea of equality. Many of us did just that, but not enough. Racism still flourished throughout my lifetime and into my children’s generation. How did we fail?

The first significant failure was brought about by our own government. You see, our government is full of idiots trying to do right the wrong way. Affirmative Action did one thing. It took jobs from qualified White men, giving those jobs to unqualified men of color. It doesn’t matter that a small amount of fairness or equality resulted from it because it brought about a completely new reason for hatred between the races. Nobody cared that taking from one race and giving to another race regardless the impact to those displaced by such action, would create hostility and furtherance of racism. But from this came the intended ability to work together and show respect for our fellow man. Still not enough but moving in the right direction.

One of the biggest road-blocks we faced was the lack of racial acceptance from the people of color. Most people of color to this day have not yet accepted the extended olive branch from White people. Then along comes a database compiled by the Washington Post which paints a picture of a complete racism with Black people being subject to abuse and killings by police at a higher percentage than White people. What this database fails to do is demonstrate the 13 percent Black population nation-wide was not the population percentages of the areas the claimed abuse came from. Black populations in the individual cities ranged from 27 to 69 percent and demonstrates more Whites killed by police every year. What is a higher concern is the use of the database by government, educators, politicians, and clergy without actually researching the database data for accuracy. It’s quite easy to understand, Black people make up 13 percent of the population nation-wide, but there isn’t any Black people in Tiny Town whatever State U.S.A. this means these Black people are not 13 percent everywhere, resulting in a much higher percentage of Black people someplace else. Use of the corrected population percentages demonstrates a far different picture. The problem is almost all Blacks as well as a significant portion of Whites believe the 13 percent lie.

Moving forward to about a year ago, a cop negligent in his responsibilities, kills George Floyd while in custody. The Country, both Black and White armed with the 13 percent lie start rioting in the streets nation-wide. City streets are filled with protesters of all colors rioting, looting, and destroying all they can. Prior to this event an organization was formed to support a Gay-Black athlete was formed. This organization was not formed to represent the Black populace in any way. But being in the right place, at the right time, Black Lives Matter is there when the riots began and Corporate America in fear of their lives dumps millions of dollars donating to the coffers of Black Lives Matter. This was not a planned event, but it is proof that having the right name at the right time can make a couple of Black Activists very rich. Corporate America suffering from rectal-cranial inversion believes they have done something to support the Black man has done nothing but toss their cash to be used as personal money by the founders of Black Lives Matter. Most of America believes that Black Lives Matter intended to provide support for the Black man. Black Lives Matter have yet to do anything but escalate racial tensions and fill their pockets with donated money building their personal wealth.

Another problem arises as America, tired of abusive cops scream “Defund The Police,” which may not be an all-together bad idea. Spineless politicians jump on the band-wagon and cities across America start cutting funding for their Police agencies. Interest in employment in Law Enforcement drops to lower than an all-time low, crime starts running rampant nation-wide as the criminal element has nothing to fear. Law Enforcement Officers treated like the enemy retire early or just quit leaving every police agency under-staffed, some by hundreds of officers. Today in America no street is safe as criminals take over the streets committing crimes, violent crimes, everywhere. This escalation of criminal activity leads to many retailers closing their doors for good as they do not believe police has the ability to protect them.

And yet, our political leadership believes the way to solve the problem is to give to one race by taking from another race. Government nation-wide is doing money giveaways in the form of guaranteed incomes, housing, and even employment excluding White people. Does anybody see the racial implications of this? Instead of our leaders correcting the issues necessary, they create new cause for racial divide. Apparently we have not yet learned enough from our past errors to be able to fix this.

I think I know what needs to be done. First eliminate any organization that has a race as part of it’s name. All these organizations are is furtherance of racism and people making profit off racism. None of these organizations want to eliminate racism, racism is how they make their money.

Then look at all government and give them a choice, color-blind or find another job. And then, do not give any service, monitory benefit, or any other offering based upon skin color. Only give these items to those in true need and give to those in true need.

Equality is not so hard to achieve. Simply mature beyond skin color and enjoy being color-blind.

Let’s Add Another FAVORITE to the New Racism . . .

San Francisco’s Mayor finds a way to create another rift in the City’s racial divide by giving guaranteed incomes for Transgender People. “San Francisco launches guaranteed income program for transgender people” is the original story in the News.

And this is where it starts! Don’t give resources to those in need by degree of need, Just give to people of one group while the rest go hungry or homeless. Let’s see how many people of need suffer while this group is protected. When did Government get so damn stupid? All they have done is create hatred towards transgender people. Then they expand on their idea with more?

They expand their scope of people qualified for this financial give away:

According to its website, the program will prioritize the following demographics for enrollment: “transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex people who are also Black, indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), experiencing homelessness, living with disabilities and chronic illnesses, youth and elders, monolingual Spanish-speakers, and those who are legally vulnerable such as TGI people who are undocumented, engaging in survival sex trades, ​or are formerly incarcerated.”

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO NEEDY WHITE PEOPLE IN SAN FRANCISCO? That is what it says. Look above, they have managed to list everybody except Whites. People incarcerated and even undocumented people can be considered and manage not to include the word “White” anywhere in their demographic. I would love to believe that San Francisco has nothing but the “well to do” living without problems within the confines of the City. But sadly I cannot believe that. Can you really visualize a committee meeting where the members discuss how to exclude White people? And you don’t feel it wrong? If you don’t think there are just as many needy White people as there are others, then you need to educate yourself a little bit. Sure there may be 10 percent of one race needy amounting to a significant number, but 2 percent of White people amounts to a far higher number than others.

So the City of San Francisco has created another issue that will cause disharmony on our streets. They could of done the smart thing and put somebody in their government that is interested in stopping racism/favoritism, and ignorance in the street. Perhaps somebody that is smart enough to recognize need beyond skin color or sex? There is absolutely nothing today that should be given to anybody based on the color of skin or the spelling of a name. and/or sexual preference. Every organization that uses skin color as part of its name should be run out of town on a rail. These organizations make their living off of racial divide, yet do nothing to stop it. And any money, housing, assistance, or benefit to be offered should be distributed based upon need. And, if the responsible parties distributing such cannot mature enough to act as color-blind, they need to be unemployed immediately. As a matter of fact anybody in any government employ that cannot do their jobs less use of skin color, needs to seek employ elsewhere.

There is a way to fix this. And it starts by practicing what we preach of men being equal. Nobody should receive anything over somebody more needy. Nobody should receive anything based upon skin color. And no politician that supports doing so is acting for the betterment of their community. I had so much hope the Bay Area was going to do things right but see nothing but disappointment from acts of our politicians. It is simple folks! ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, treat them as such.

Damn, I Wish I Weren’t White . . .

A Washington Examiner headline, “Poll shows hiring managers discriminating against white men” caught my eye this morning. It comes at a time when being a White man seems a little unpopular. But is it fair? If the Black percentage of the population is around 13 percent, doesn’t that mean they should have about 13 percent of the jobs?

“In the 2015-2016 television season, 74.6 percent of roles for cable scripted shows went to white actors, whilst 13.3 percent went to black actors, and just 2.6 percent to Asian actors.” Okay, this seems about right, or does it?

“The majority of TV newsroom employees in the United States in 2020 were white, with African American staff and Hispanic and Latino employees making up less than 25 percent of the total. The survey projected that the share of Hispanic and Latino employees would increase slightly in 2021 but the forecasted percentage remains under 13 percent.” Somebody works with the same math I do.

  
Employed persons by detailed occupation, sex, race, and Hispanic origin <-This link goes to the actual data page


  Officials and administrators, public administration..............................      720     52.6      13.0         
    Administrators, protective services............................................       54     25.3      13.3    Inspectors and compliance officers, except construction............................      247     36.4      14.4

And, I can keep going down the list. The end column at the far right is the percentage of Black people in that occupation. Don't take my word for it, follow the link above to go to the actual data page. My point is Black people actually populate our workforce in some very good numbers. Add professional sports players and entertainers figures to this and I believe you will find that Black people have a bunch of the good paying jobs, exceeding the 13 percent  discussed above.

Now, we go and turn the apple-cart upside down because folks out there are making their living off of racism telling people that are too lazy a bunch of lies and unfairly taking jobs from the White man. I find this offensive as fuck!

I have never taken any opportunity away from anybody. Never owned a slave. Don't care what color your skin is. And, I have never taken the food off another mans table based on the color of his skin. Corporate America is afraid off the Black man, so instead of doing the right thing and ensuring that their hiring practices are color-blind, they turn around and do the opposite and create a new racial issue.

Listen up folks . . . We are where we are today because folks are making money off racism, and we keep letting them do it. It's not hard to recognize men as equals and if you can mature enough to be color-blind most issues will resolve themselves. Folks out there that can't mature to that level, are the problem. They come in all colors and they aren't helping nobody, but themselves at our expense. Corporations, Politicians, Government is so busy trying to make new racial issues that they can't see they are the problem. If they would have treated men as equals a long time ago, we would be in a much better place today . . .

Father Kills 2 Year-old Son . . .

That isn’t the actual headline of the story. But, it is true. The headline read: N.C. Boy, 2, Finds Loaded Gun in Front Seat of Truck and Kills Himself, and Father Faces Charges . And the father should face charges, murder chargers. It’s the same story over and over again. Somebody doesn’t secure their weapon properly, and someone gets killed because of it. The true problem in this case as is in many, a child gets dead. You have to ask yourself, what kind of jackass parent leaves a loaded gun where a 2 year-old kid can get access to it? While we are asking questions, why was he even carrying a gun in the first place?

I think we are seeing a pattern developing here. Parents cannot handle being parents so they have found a way to eliminate children. No, that is likely not the case. But can you think of any reason to endanger your children that qualifies as important or threatening enough that you need carry a gun?

Guns are a necessary evil in many of our lives. But the necessity has never included the killing of your own child due to gun owner negligence Yet it seems as though we hear it almost daily. With gun ownership comes responsibility. If you own it, you are responsible for any mis-use of it. If you are stupid enough to not secure it and it gets used in a mass shooting or even ends in the death of your own child, you are the one that made it happen, you are the one needs to be charged with committing the crime.

And I hope they throw the fucking book at you!

The Halloween, that wasn’t . . .

Have we already lost to those who wish us a lack of fun and lost imagination? Have they sufficiently beat us down so far that we cannot go into our city streets and have fun anymore? What has happened to the land that I love? What has happened to the people that used to live in this Country that enjoyed the party, the costumes, and the thrill of having our hearts beating in fear of something or someone hiding in the dark?

You may not have missed Halloween last night. If you were lucky and the Halloweens’ found you, tell em I miss em.

Wait, what the hell am I supposed to do with all this candy? I am diabetic, I cannot eat all this (munch, munch, burp . . .) candy! Diabetic Coma, here I come. You know, I only bought candy that I liked. Stuff like “Reese Peanut Butter Cups,” “3 Musketeers,” and “HoHo’s.” And, I bought gobs of it. I can swim in Peanut Butter and Chocolate for the next week if I want.

Man, I hope Turkey Day and Christmas doesn’t pass me by . . . Oh Santa?

Wait! I know somebody had a Halloween! So long as there be ex-wives and mothers-in-law, there be witches!
