Just Wow

Pondering a post discussing how charges of racism are a dishonest distraction from the real problems facing children of all races who grow up in single-parent homes, I found the video below. It's about an hour long, but you can move the scrub head to random points in the video and get the idea pretty quickly.

Kids growing up in Baltimore, read: black children, desperately need love and attention. They desperately need traditional families. Borrowing from a post of mine on the topic, the issue isn't racism and the solution isn't politics.

Navon's classmates are essentially illiterate and unemployable. They're growing up in a war zone. I didn't look it up, but illegitimacy rates must be near 80% in their neighborhoods. For all intents and purposes, there are no whites, asians or hispanics around them. The entire government is made up of Democrats and has been for decades.

The problem cannot be political because there is only one side present.

The problem cannot be racial because there is only one race present.

If you loved the children of Baltimore, if you loved them as images of God, as equals, as people deserving of the same opportunities as you and I, if you want them to grow up and be productive and accomplished, there is no way on Earth you'd be screaming about racism. It's all a lie. The topic is a lie. The accusations are lies.

No one cares about these kids. The Secular Left only cares about playing make-believe and the right has been cowed into silence.

These kids need to be the topic of conversation, not statues, flags or dog whistles.

Assessment of her prescriptions: She's a good SJW progressive. She wants other people to volunteer to help the kids and she wants more money for school. She blames "society" for the kids' failures and brings up racism. Assuming that she's right, the society hurting the kids is pure progressive. That means the Secular Left are the racists.

Whatever the shortcomings of her blame game, I know where we can find the necessary volunteers to act as mentors for the kids. Mom's bed. The men found therein can be given a special title. We'll call them "husbands." We can give them a special token of appreciation. Maybe it could be a ring they could wear. We could also give them a certificate acknowledging their volunteer status. We'll call that a "marriage license."

OK, that's enough for today.
