OBAMA & COMPANY NEED TO STHU!!!

hello america!!! 'gun control'---regardless of which side of this issue you're on, GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE---PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!!!

before you even think to respond to the above, follow this...
1.....guns are either obtained legally or illegally PERIOD
2.....guns have to be picked up & loaded PERIOD
3.....guns have to be aimed/pointed at somebody or some thing PERIOD
4.....guns have to have the safety off (those that have them) before they can be fired PERIOD
5.....guns have to have somebody or something press the trigger to fire them PERIOD

whether you're legally shooting a deer or illegally shooting another person, withdraw any sequence from the above & the gun is rendered harmless PERIOD...

good people, chicago's (YTD) stats are---2,647 people were shot of which 559 of them died---eliminate any one of the above sequences & the stats would read 'ZERO SHOT'---somebody had to run through those sequences to effectively fire those guns because the guns damn sure won't fire themselves...

every time there's a shooting, the dems & left-wing media cry out for stricter 'gun control' & then ignore the facts---i.e; the recent deadly mass-shooting in texas---there are laws on the books that should have prohibited the shooter from legally obtaining a gun (s) however, the air force dropped the ball by not entering his information into the national data-base---unfortunately, 26 innocent people paid with their lives for that colossal screw-up but, the dems & left-wing media are not going after the air force...

america, chicago reportedly has some of the strictest gun laws on the books & yet, they have our nations highest totals concerning gun-violence---if you can figure the 'why' of that out, please let me know---look, we have all of these laws & regulations in place but, we have far too many different agencies &, they don't always coordinate with one another in a timely fashion (that's why 9/11 & several other atrocities have occurred)---somehow, we have to fix that...

what we really should be talking about is how to 'identify & fix' the people so willing to take the lives of others because that is the very root of our gun-problem---people that want to kill others will always find a way to do so regardless of what laws we put on the books to prevent that &, just so you know, simply threatening criminals with extended jail time is not a deterrent---most people that do 'anything' illegal know that it's wrong long before they do it &, that runs from jay-walking to renting a truck to mow people down---it's like you being late for work & yet you try to make up that time by speeding (all the while knowing you're wrong & yet, hoping you don't get caught)---in 100% honesty, it's the actions of people that cause the deaths of other people regardless of the 'tool' they utilize to do it---&, if you disagree with that, answer me this---when was the last time a knife in your kitchen draw magically appeared in the street & cut somebody's throat??? or, when was the last time a truck (without a driver) turned itself on & mowed down some people far from where it was parked???

&, another thing---there is no such thing as 'bad people'---nobody was born 'bad'---we have people that (for whatever reason) do very 'bad deeds'...

the next time you hear a person yelling for more gun control ask them this---if you were to get caught in the middle of 2 gangs gun-fighting, would you rather have whoever was attempting to rescue you show up with or without guns???

the dems & media sound like they want the firemen to show up to a burning house without water--(DAMN, CAN I JUST DROP THE MIC & WALK AWAY NOW???)

KNEEL FOR ALL PEOPLE IF YOU MUST KNEEL!!!

hello america!!! first, i wrote this monday-aug 21 (READ HERE) & now, 2 months & 8 days later, we have this from the 6 communities i'm following...

1,756 homicides/1,167 of them black/396 of them hispanic/police killed 52

chicago---584 homicides/449 of them black/101 of them hispanic/police killed 10-wounded 10 others...
baltimore---291 homicides/255 black/3 hispanic...
la county---517 homicides/160 black/284 hispanic/police killed 35...
jacksonville---105 homicides/72 black/2 hispanic/police killed 7...
milwaukee---94 homicides/78 black/5 hispanic...
st louis---165 homicides/153 black/1 hispanic...

so, why does the msm (main-stream media) continue to remain silent about all that senseless violence---more importantly, where are the voices & concerns of the communities??? where are the voices & concerns of the elected politicians from those communities??? where are the voices & concerns of the 'so-called' civil rights groups??? since you honestly can't answer those questions, let me try it this way...

when a cop shoots a person of color (justified or not), the politicians, the media, black lives matter & other groups as well as all the 'big-named/so-called' civil rights leaders are all over the tv 24/7 demanding 'justice' &, unfortunately, retribution---hell, we even have the 'outrage' of those police actions spreading into our sports in the form of kneeling/sitting/etc during the playing of our national anthem---&, before i forget, where are the voices of the women's groups because women are being killed right along with the men???

good people, our whole country should be in an uproar over the senseless killings PERIOD!!! that said, people of color should be even more upset because we're killing one another at an alarming rate  with no regard to any of the consequences & yet, we're blinded by the sensationalism of a cop killing one of ours to the point that we only concentrate on that & we take to the streets for retribution & destroy our own communities---even as a kid i never understood that logic &, i don't mind admitting, i still don't but, that's another story for another day...

look, we've all seen the coverage of our politicians & 'so-called community leaders' marching in our streets because of a cop killing a person of color---&, we've seen 'black lives matter' & others creating hell in those same streets---hell, the media can't get out there fast enough to cover those marches & yet, for those 6 communities that lost 1,563 people of color, you don't hear SHIT---for that matter, i don't even hear about them from my own people...

america, is the life of an unarmed person of color shot by a cop worth more than the lives of those 1,563 people of color??? if it is, i can understand the attention it gets, however, if it isn't, we've got a more serious problem that our silence will only enhance...

our problem is not the police but with each other &, before we can even begin to correct the problem, we must first discover 'why' guns are so able to magically appear in our communities &, before you laugh, i've often said 'it's easier for a kid to buy a street gun than it is for a citizen to legally buy one'---i have this theory that guns are being allowed to enter our communities &, once we find out why, we can then find out how & put a stop to it---&, before you call me stupid, i'm not dumb enough to think that keeping all the guns out of communities will solve our 'violence problems'...

for all of you that think that disrespecting our national anthem & flag is the way to get your message out to combat police brutality against people of color, you're dead wrong on several fronts---the biggest problem people of color have is the willingness to kill one another...

THE BIG-MOUTH DEMS ARE 100% WRONG!!!

hello america!!! this post is not about the senseless murders that occurred in las vegas---it's about the dem party trying to blame the repubs for it...

please, let's keep it real---when i hear the left demanding stricter gun control, i can only wonder why they never passed a 'national gun-control law' when they had control of all 3 branches of our gov't (1/2009-1/2011)---HMMM??? &, before any of you get to bumping your gums, they crammed obamacare down our throats without any repub assistance of any kind so, you'd be doing yourself a favor by appearing educated by not going that route...

for starters, you voting dems really need to take a totally new & honest look at your party & realize that there is an extremely big difference between what they say, what they do &, who they blame for their failures---they are now using the las vegas massacre for political tricks & appeal, & hey, i'm here to tell you the 'TRUTH' because 'THE TRUTH IS RIGHT'...

the dems had an opportunity (under obama-june 2010) to actually 'outlaw' the so-called 'bump stock' that was used by that sadistically-sick killer &, not surprisingly, the dems failed to do---now they're trying to blame donald trump & the repubs for the multiple killings amidst calls for stricter 'gun control'---however, you'll discover the irony of redistributing blame---[you can actually read the letter here from THE THEN OBAMA JUSTICE DEPART & they declared "the bump stock is a firearm part is & not regulated as a firearm under gun control act or the national firearms act")...

good people, blaming trump & the repubs for what happened in las vegas is just plain ludicrous when it's pretty obvious that the dems are at fault for not regulating the 'bump stock'...

WHERE'S ARE THE PLAYERS ON THIS??? CRICKETS!!!

hello america!!! this is an update to previous posts concerning america's senseless homicides in 6 of the communities i'm following this year...

chicago (ytd)---536 total homicides of which 499 were by gunshot/2900 total shootings/police killed 10-wounded 10/419 black homicides/93 hispanic homicides
per http://heyjackass.com/category/2017-stats/ 

baltimore (ytd)---272 total homicides of which 236 were by gunshot/238 black homicides/3 hispanic homicides
per http://data.baltimoresun.com/news/police/homicides/index.php?

la county (ytd)---464 total homicides of which 325 were by gunshot/police killed 28/110 black homicides/219 hispanic homicides
per http://homicide.latimes.com/year/2017   

jacksonville (ytd)---99 total homicides of which 79 homicides were by gunshot/police killed 7/67 black homicides/2 hispanic homicides
per http://jacksonville.com/homicides 

milwaukee (ytd)---94 total homicides of which 78 were by gunshot/69 black homicides/5 hispanic homicides
per https://projects.jsonline.com/apps/Milwaukee-Homicide-Database/

st louis (ytd)---144 total homicides/135 black homicides/1 hispanic homicides
per http://www.slmpd.org/images/Homicide_Stats_for_Website.pdf

1,609 total homicides/1,038 black homicides/323 hispanic homicides/police killed at least 45 people & you're trying to tell me that we have a problem with the police---true math will never lie although those on the left only wish to speak about 'cops killing people of color' numbers---what they refuse to talk about is, we are killing one another at an alarming rate &, we're doing it with guns that are somehow-magically allowed to enter our communities...

we burn our own shit down when a cop kills one of us & yet, we don't even talk about black-on-black crime---hell, you don't even see 'prayers' on facebook for our own---the flip-side of that is, let a celebrity die & that's all we talk about...

our pro-players want to kneel to protest 'social injustice' without ever mentioning the problems we cause each other---maybe they can tell me what's 'socially just' about 'people of color' killing other 'people of color...

JUST SO YOU KNOW!!!

hello america!!! let's just assume i'm upset at the high prices they charge in the stores in the hood...

if i were to visit you at your grandma's house & i entered without taking my hat off (which i know to do out of respect), would i be disrespecting the house??? would i be disrespecting your grandma??? would i be disrespecting you???

would you allow me to stay in the house after i explained to you & your grandma that i wasn't going to remove my hat until the prices went down???

i think we all know where this is going---disrespect, whether intended or not, is still disrespect PERIOD!!! furthermore, i'd probably be removed from your grandma's house by force if i didn't leave on my own volition---you already know...

colin kaepernick's action by refusing to stand for the playing of our national anthem was willful disrespect from the onset---he's the one that said "i'm not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people & people of color'---what seems to be lost on everybody is that opening statement directed at the flag &, no amount of 'spin' can alter that fact---&, those that have taken to kneeling &/or sitting during the playing of our anthem are continuing that disrespect regardless of the reason (short of a medical or mental one)...

look, going into your grandma's house would have been the wrong 'platform' for me to protest just as the nfl sidelines are/were for kaepernick & his follower's...

the more i look into kaepernick, the more disappointed i am that he did what he did where he did it---there are reports that he's never-ever registered to vote READ HERE & hey, how can you effect 'change' if you never-ever voted for change??? &, although he has done some good with his money, he's also done some bad CLICK HERE...

not to be unfair to kaepernick, here's his own website & you can judge it/him for yourselves---
http://kaepernick7.com/million-dollar-pledge/...

everybody wants to talk about the respect/not disrespect & kaepernick's reasons for his protest seem to have taken up a back-shelf space---i will be the first to admit, he has some very valid points that we need to address but, i'll also be the first to tell you that police brutality against people of color is not the primary one &, i've addressed this & other issues in previous blogs &, i will continue to so in the future---NO, CHECK THAT & READ THIS & then tell me our problem is with the police...

the social injustice/racial discrimination towards people of color goes a hell of a lot deeper than blaming our police &, i'll address it in a very near blog...

IT'S HARD TO CHANGE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED SINCE BIRTH!!!

hello america!!! life can get agonizingly twisted real quickly &, a prime example of that is colin kaepernick---his status, his cause, his platform, his actions &, other's reactions...

his status---currently a multi-talented nfl free agent that seemingly was black-balled by the nfl & the owners because of his 'sitting/kneeling' during the playing of our national anthem (the nfl's position is his performance level dropped off)---he opted to drop out of his contract at the end of the 2016 season...

his cause---"i am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people & people of color. to me, this is bigger than football & it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. there are bodies in the street & people getting paid leave & getting away with murder"---those were kaepernick's own words during a post-game interview in 2016---he went on to say that he would continue to protest until he feels like 'the american flag represents what it's supposed to'...for reference, CLICK HERE... 

his platform---the football field sideline during the playing of our national anthem & the post-game media...

his actions---'sitting/kneeling' during the playing of our national anthem...

other's reactions---other pro-players have taken to 'sitting/kneeling' during the playing of our national anthem &, in a show of continued support, locking arms...

his status in a nutshell---if it's truly about talent, kaepernick should be playing this season---there are too many squads that could actually benefit from his skill-set so, there must be another reason (other than what a new contract-signing would cost) for why he isn't playing---i honestly feel he was/is being black-balled because of the distractions his protest caused/is causing---having said all that, kaepernick voluntarily opted out of his contract so as to become a free agent which has not worked out well for him...

his platform in a nutshell---first, one must realize that we have 31 full-time national football league stadiums (not 32 because the giants/jets share one) &, they all have their own name---secondly, what transpires on those fields (all 32 of them) is directed by the national football league &/or owners---thirdly, those fields are national football league employee/employer work-places PERIOD!!! i know the question 'if not there, where?' is coming so, allow me to address it like this---i do not believe this particular platform is going to be conducive for the original issue---we tune into the games for the entertainment they provide, not to see somebody protesting (any issue) on a platform they have no control over---if you watched the cowboys/cardinals monday night game, you saw how both squads showed their support & yet, stood for that beautiful rendition of our national anthem (thank you jordin sparks)---&, because this was the wrong platform, the cause has been glossed over & the focus has been on the actions...

his actions & other's actions in a nutshell---his actions were to purposely show his disdain for our flag by sitting/kneeling during the playing of our national anthem PERIOD---his own words talked about not standing to show pride in a flag for our country (i'll get to the rest of his sentence in a minute) &, many others have taken to sitting/kneeling in support of kaepernick---now, others have tried to downplay &/or deny that his actions (to include those that followed his lead) displayed disrespect for our national anthem & national flag but, you cannot just will the facts away---he deliberately directed his cause at our flag by refusing to stand & show pride to it &, he admitted that PERIOD!!! his actions, as well as the actions of his followers, are the actions of blatant disrespect towards the american flag...

his cause in a nutshell---racism is very real/oppression is very real/indentured servitude is very real/police brutality is very real &, i applaud kaepernick for bringing that out, however, i just wish he had chosen a better platform & way to do it---unfortunately, it seems everybody is arguing on whether the actions are disrespectful or not &, not the issue---at this point, none of the media are focusing on the issues that so very much need addressing---until the messaging is consistent & wide-spread, no amount of pro-players kneeling will alter any of the problems one iota---instead, they will only create more division...

HAVING THE RIGHT DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT!!!

hello america!!! for a very long time i have been telling my friends that i was against any form of disrespect directed towards our american flag (that disrespect became prominent during the vietnam war) so, it should come as no surprise to any of them (&/or you) that i very strongly support what donald trump said about pro-athletes kneeling (&/or sitting) during the playing of our national anthem PERIOD!!!

when i hear the remarks of our pro-athletes that support that disrespect (regardless of race or religion), i have to ask this---exactly what are they protesting---& yes, i want specifics because many of them are simply caught up in this 'social injustice/civil rights thing' & hey, that's far too large a subject to object to broadly...

look, colin kaepernick seemingly started this kneeling in protest of 'civil rights' &, just like blind rats following the scent of food, others have joined in &, here's the kicker, those on the left were so upset when tim tebow took a knee during the games to give thanks to his GOD...

this comes from the nfl media---
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

while kaepernick &, the players that support him have a very valid point (&, because of that flag, they certainly have the right to protest), exactly what have their actions gained except a furthering of division??? the only issue that seems to be gaining any traction is the disrespect itself &, you have those that support it & those that don't---furthermore, it seems that many of the players are only showing 'support' for those doing the kneeling, not the issues...

for the record, while i support kaepernick's right to protest, we are 2 very different people mentally---i was born & raised here & need not visit another country to 'find my independence'---but, that's another subject---the hell with it, here's what i think---if kaepernick didn't have the 'name-fame' or, wasn't a 'millionaire', i can only wonder how his trip to ghana would have fared---nuff said!!!

if the 'pros' truly wish to protest 'present day' social injustice/civil rights, where is their 'collective support' for our young college athletes (of all races & religions) that are caught up in the collegiate indentured servitude system??? hell, our pros came from that very same system & yet, seemingly speak very little about it---KNEEL FOR THAT!!! colleges make billions off of our young people & yet, don't pay them a salary---what's worse is, those young people still have to 'pay' their own way through the system---HMMM???

where is the kneel-down for all of 'the people of color' that have died by the hands of other 'people of color'??? do you mean to tell me that all of these pros (that have become rich because somebody died to give them the right to get rich) can't get together & 'march' through our down-trodden communities in protest of the gangs, violence, drugs & conditions??? but wait, maybe i'm wrong because i thought 'social injustice/civil rights' was the problem & yet, the pros are so invisible---HMMM???

you don't hear kaepernick & his followers talking about the civil rights of our unborn 'children of color' that never even got the opportunity to take a first breath---& here i was thinking it was all about a white cop shooting a black person (justified or not); silly me---good people, the facts on reported abortions are staggering (&, even moreso for people of color) yet, there's a big volume of silence about that when listening to our protesting pro-athletes---black children are aborted at 3 times the rate of white children/hispanics at 1 1/2 times the rate of white children & yet, the black population has been surpassed by the hispanic population (& it has nothing to do with having less sex)---& all you hear are the crickets...

look here are some facts for the collectively brain-dead...
fact #1---the vast majority of black-on-black homicides occur in the communities controlled by democrats &, it's been that way for years
fact #2---planned parenthood is a democrat institution &, it's always been that way
fact #3---most athletes are democrats &/or lean that way &, it's been that way for years

i called you 'brain-dead' because, when you add it all up, you support the very party that is either allowing us to kill one another or is actually doing the killing---&, you have a problem with our national anthem---HMMM???

our pro-athletes have the 'AMERICAN RIGHT' (&, yes that's an exclusive 'right') to protest by 'kneeling' but, that doesn't make the act of it right---nor is it right that they are not more specific in exactly what they are protesting---hell, 'social injustice/civil rights' could be 'more females are hired as maids than are males through 'more blacks are hired to play basketball than whites or hispanics combined'---need i point out that blacks spend a hell of lot more money in white establishments than in their own but, what do i know???

when our pro-athletes or, any american, (while in another country) kneels during the playing of our national anthem & stands for that country's national anthem, that's an un-american act PERIOD!!!
which brings me to this---approx 20% of uk's whites live in poverty compared to approx 50% of the blacks population living there---&, you stood up for their anthem??? are you that stupid or that misinformed???

for all of you 'knot-heads' out there, have you heard any of our pro-athletes protesting the rape of women??? or, the abuse inflicted on our youth??? or, the more favorable treatment of illegal aliens over our own people of color citizens??? etc, etc, etc...

we can bitch & moan about anything (we have that exclusive right) however, i feel you, & we, would be better served if you protested on a different platform & were more specific in what you were protesting &, before you females jump on their band-wagon, have you heard any of the pros calling for more female refs or coaches &, just name me one male player complaining about the salary ratio between men & women in sports...

donald trump was correct in what he said & the nfl owners & the league need to make a stand before this gets too far out of hand---that goes for all other sports as well...

at this point, i'm opposed to buying any more pro-sports gear or attending any of their games until we can get all of our athletes to honor our national anthem & flag in the manner they so richly deserve...&, that includes not purchasing from the pro-sports sponsors...
