Anti Brutality


The George Floyd case is the perfect time for liberals who are nominally anti police brutality and usually anti public (criminal) brutality conservatives to unite on this issue, given so much shared outrage.


At day's end, both sides can be on the same side: anti brutality.

Geraldo Rivera's Toxic Tweet

Image
The famed liberal Republican newsman just tweeted: "If #Chicago authorities had any guts they'd bring #StopAndFrisk to gang-riddled streets. At yesterday's funeral massacre every man there was illegally armed. 14 shot. It's not a rap song. It's real. A ghetto civil war, gangs fighting for drug turf-Kids getting caught in crossfire." As if resurrecting a problematic public safety policy like Stop & Frisk isn't bad enough, his use of the racially loaded phrase, "ghetto civil war" raised eyebrows until they touched my ceiling. Racially loaded language doesn't help captive communities. My safety advocacy was born opposing sudden waves of violence and theft when Crack Cocaine hit Black America, so I know the problem all too well, including threats and confrontations. Creating urban safety and liberating hostage, law abiding residents written off as collateral damage can't be done with toxic tweets, especially from a minority r...

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist.

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist. I hear Individualism purists brows loudly wrinkling. Some snap, "Huh? What if I said, 'Support White Business?' You'd saying I was being racist!!!" Actually, I'd say Black people already support White owned businesses, to the yearly tune of billions of dollars. Clearly we're not racist with our money. When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization. Elite liberals want Black people thinking we can't create anything for ourselves and must rely on "concerned" colonizers for leadership, goods and services. As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more  within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare...

Tim Scott: Lone Conservative Watchman on the Wall of Police Brutality

Image
US Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) has been a lone mainstream conservative watchman on the wall of addressing   police brutality, an area of government overreach usually associated with liberals or libertarian-Republicans like US Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). Beginning with his stonewalled " Walter Scott Notification Act, " the South Carolinian recently asked US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to let him lead the legislative response to George Floyd's murder, protests and rioting. Senator Scott shares his racial profiling experiences, from seven police stops while driving as a Congressman, being followed by store clerks, and numerous older incidents. These disclosures broke a taboo among our generation of Black conservatives, admitting racism continues to have a negative impact. He's ripped away a gag order that kept many Generation Xers quiet on the topic during their late 20th Century rise in Republican politics. I know from first-hand experience how speak...
