How Black Leaders Exploit Their People for Political and Financial Gain March 30, 2012 by Gary DeMar The killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman is showing how liberals – especially blacks – care more about getting the political upper hand than affecting long-term change in black communities. Blacks are used as props to raise political capital. The shooting deaths of two British students — James Cooper and James Kouzaris — murdered last April in Florida by a black youth received no attention by black leaders or President Obama. Three letters were sent to the President that never received a reply. “It would perhaps appear,” friends of the victims said, “that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time.” Why no national attention to the two Chicago men who were wearing hooded sweatshirts (“hoodies”) and were involved in a shooting that left one dead and five injured. This happened in the same congressional district represented by former Black Panther Bobby Rush (D-IL). This is the same Bobby Rush who wore a “hoodie” during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out. The goal of people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Maxine Waters is to build up political capital. Fixing the problems of black communities is not their goal. They need bad neighborhoods, escalating crime, and high unemployment so they can use these as political and economic clubs to extract votes and money. It was Al Sharpton who said that Herman Cain was not “authentically Black.” What did he mean? Cain didn’t have the usual markings of a poor, disadvantaged, ghettoized, welfare-raised black man because he succeeded in business. Cain could not be used as a poster child or neglect and need for the guild-laden white community to donate to liberal black causes and to get them to vote Democrat. Jesse Jackson has made millions by “shakedown” tactics to extract money from corporations. Willie Ellis expressed his frustration with Jackson: “Open your eyes: Jesse Jackson is for Jesse Jackson and Jesse Jackson only. He stole from the people long enough. It’s time the people know the true man Jesse Jackson is. He has rode on black peoples’ coattails long enough.” Harold Davis said Jackson “is a shakedown artist, and nobody holds him accountable.” Jackson is “worth $40 million dollars … and Martin Luther King died broke,” Davis went on to say. Jackson ignores the needs of his hometown of Chicago, “In Chicago, the kids’ reading scores were the worst in 13 years; [Jackson] ain’t opened his mouth. Why? Because he don’t fight in his backyard when he sees a reason to go fight somewhere else,” Davis said. While Sharpton and Jackson are making their money, black communities across America are disintegrating. Welfare policies pushed by liberal do-gooders have created a perpetual dependent class – good for winning elections but bad for the overall health of black families. While the killing of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy, there are daily tragedies in black neighborhoods. For example, the unemployment rate for black males is at 18% while black youth unemployment was at 46.5% in late 2011. Who’s to blame? Whites? The rich? Are whites and the rich to blame for dramatic school drop-out rates? Are whites to blame for the way many black young people dress when they show up for job interviews? Who should we blame for out-of-wedlock births? Welfare has led to the disintegration of the black family similar to how slavery affected the black family structure. Welfare family disintegration is worse than slavery because politicians and so-called black leaders believe that welfare is a right that is due blacks because of slavery. The welfare has done more to harm poor people than slavery ever did. Who’s to blame for black-on-black crime? Here are some statistics from the Black on Black Crime Coalition: While African Americans comprise 13.5% of the U.S. Population, 43% of all murder victims in 2007 were African American, 93.1% of whom were killed [by] African Americans. The U.S. Justice Department provides a breakdown of homicides by the race of both the victim and offender. Looking at the data for 2005 (the latest year available), we find that whites committed 48.0% of all murders and blacks committed 51.2% of all murders. However, whites outnumber blacks in the population. In fact, non-Hispanic whites are about 69% of the population and blacks are about 13%. These statistics alone, shows that blacks are 13% of the population, but commit 51.2% of the murders, indicate that blacks commit a seriously disproportionate number of murders.” None of this is to indict all blacks. There is a developing black middle and upper class in the United States. Their rise came about despite economic hardships, prejudice, bigotry, and outright racism. They didn’t use these as excuses to explain failure in the black community. They fought against it. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Maxine Waters are political opportunists. Their comments end up inflaming many in the black community and creating resentment among whites. Do blacks benefit? Yes. Some of them do. Ask Jesse and Al.

In the the first half of the 20th century, Detroit was one of the most prosperous, dynamic, and architecturally beautiful cities in the country. Southern blacks starting flooding into Detroit in 1940 to take jobs in the auto industry during WWII. 25 years later, blacks were the majority and Detroit disintegrated into a violent, poor, burned out, third world hell hole. 25 short years -- that's how fast we can go from the pinnacle of western civilization and industrial might to primitive tribalism. Just think about. And how many other cities in this country are being ruined by the trifecta of Blacks, Leftards and Unions????

25 years later, blacks were the majority and Detroit disintegrated into a violent, poor, burned out, third world hell hole. Even so, once you discount the impact of the '68 riots, something the auto industry did not recover from prior to the gas crunch of the late Seventies that saw their sales dented hard by fuel-efficient imports, there was already a loss of entry-level factory jobs. If you want to save these cities, you need relatively clean industry, the kinds of jobs with adequate automation to compete. The real opportunity to do this is right in front of us. America is seeing natural gas prices plunge overall. At an energy cost of 20% or less than our major industrial competitors, many companies including chemical plants and steel plants are planning to move back to America. Asia's labor will be cheaper but our energy costs are expected to more than offset that over the course of these plants' lifespan. As with so many stories of American ingenuity, Mitchell Energy had a little help. In the 1970s, the federal government initiated the Eastern Gas Shales Project and funded dozens of hydro-fracking demonstration projects. The Energy Department pioneered a technique known as massive hydraulic fracturing, a key step along the way. It subsidized Mitchell Energy’s first successful horizontal drilling in the North Texas Barnett Shale region in 1991. Between 1978 and 1992, the federal government spent $137 million to develop these technologies. Whoever gets the credit, the effects are widespread. The United States now has, at current consumption rates, at least 75 years’ worth of recoverable natural gas. More important, the United States has become the world’s low-cost producer of natural gas. That fact is already changing the future of U.S. manufacturing. Companies such as Dow Chemical and Westlake Chemical are finding that low U.S. energy costs can mitigate the lower cost of labor in Asia — making it economical to keep and even build manufacturing facilities in the United States. That might also help explain why high oil prices are not slowing down the U.S. economy as much as has been feared. Robert Hefner, a natural gas entrepreneur and author of “The Grand Energy Transition,” points out that the cost of heating 65 million American homes by natural gas has fallen $20 billion annually. Energy development is going to transform this country.
One moment there, comrade. Perhaps you should consider that the best solution for America's downtrodden is an industrial renaissance. But we have to get rid of the Kenyan and a bunch of his crony Lefty Democrats to do it.
Whites started fleeing Detroit after the 1943 riots. Detroit's suburbs continued to prosper in the 1950s, 60s, 80s, and 90s while the city continued to decay. So, Detroit's condition has nothing to do with the auto industry. Detroit's decay has little to do with liberalism either. Seattle and Portland and very liberal cities, yet they are prosperous and nice places to live. Of course, there are very few blacks in Seattle and Portland. That's the difference. The only place in the world that you can compare to Detroit is Zimbabwe, which was once one of the most prosperous countries in Africa (called Rhodesia). Once Africans gained political power, the country collapsed. That's what happened to Detroit.
Here's a blast from the last industrial renaissance past. How do you want your melamine, well done or rare?
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
Those buildings are partially destroyed and abandoned because that's what industrialists do. They leave their messes for someone else to clean up.

Plenty of other differences too. Major seaports and transport hubs. Microsoft HQ, etc.
Detroit was a major seaport and transportation hub as well. Detroit was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the country in the 1st half of the 20th century. The city of Detroit lost over 60% of it's population from the 1940s to 2010 -- from just under 2 million to barely 700,000 because of white flight out of the city.

Who just happened to settle in those thousands of acres of newly created post WWII tract homes, made accessible courtesy of the newly created network of highways bought and paid for by the taxpayers, thereby making other types of industrialists fabulously wealthy.

Of course. Why should the elite have to look abroad for slave labor when they shouldn't have to look further than their own backyards.

Da, comrade.
The only place in the world that you can compare to Detroit is Zimbabwe, which was once one of the most prosperous countries in Africa (called Rhodesia). Once Africans gained political power, the country collapsed. Fred suggested looking up the Tulsa riots, aka the Bombing of Black Wall Street - you should do that now. Batswana continues to have one of the world's fastest growing economies with a stable government, proving that Africans are capable of managing political power just fine. Perhaps it was their great good fortune that Batswana's mineral wealth was not discovered until after their colonial masters left.

We can again supply the kinds of industrial entry-level factory jobs that pay a living wage for a family. It does have the potential to once again lift the black underclass and all those in the Rustbelt out of their current economic situation. It was only a few years ago that most experts were warning of an imminent shortage of natural gas in the United States. But thanks to the efforts of a small private company, Mitchell Energy, combined with a horizontal drilling procedure called hydraulic fracking, it has become possible to extract vast quantities of natural gas from shale, which this country has in abundance.
