Geraldo Rivera's Toxic Tweet




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 reporter who claims membership in the more socially enlightened wing of the GOP.

Vernon Jones: Standard Bearer for Conservative Black Democrats.

I don't think every Black person needs to be a Republican. The community needs Democrats fighting for effective public safety and other non liberal policy in that party too. Georgia Democrat Vernon  Jones is such a Democrat. He's made headlines and haters among elite liberals for his vocal support of Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent. He even was one of the speakers for the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Conservative Democrats are part of a broad bipartisan coalition of Americans deeply concerned about the direction of our country. My only suggestion to Mr. Jones and others is to refrain from accusing Black Democrats of being on a plantation. This is a very harsh phrase for one Black person to ever use against another. Instead, attack the elite liberal plantation master mindset!!! They've gentrified their way into the good graces of our community. Point out how they today, like ones of old, are always around us. Highlight how they really see th

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
