Fast Eddie Friday....An honest conversation about race from the white of my eyes.

Civil rights leaders have said it over and over.  The attorney general, Eric the red Holder, calls us too cowardly to have it. The President insists we need to do it. So let's have at it. An honest conversation about the racial divide from a middle aged creepy ass cracka. So here we go, Fast and loose.

You can search through the early archives of this blog and other than the writing style, you'd think someone else wrote it. There was a shift, a tipping point. Somewhere I went from a moderate liberal-ish type to what some would say is a not so moderate right wing loon. That's especially true where my views on race are concerned. In my earlier stuff, I made the contention that young criminally inclined black males just needed some guidance, maybe a trade, a decent shot, because hey, the fuckin deck is stacked against them. Full disclosure here, It was bullshit then and if anyone is selling it today, it's still bullshit. I'd say the final tipping point came after my uncle Jimmy Ray was beaten and robbed in his own home by 3 young black scholars. He never recovered physically or psychologically. Though he would never admit it, he lived out that last year or so of his life in constant fear. He lasted another year or so, never quite right, not really the same guy I'd idolized since my childhood. His wife, my aunt, hung around for another year after his death. I'd wager she spent most nights awake, in fear, locked up in her home, awaiting the return of the misunderstood youths to  finish what they started.

I'll let you all in on a secret. When the vast majority of people think of young black males, myself included, they see these guys. If they tell you otherwise, they are fucking liars. Even those uber leftist , save the children types, they see these guys every time some young black kid gives them that sleepy eyed prison yard stare.

These fine young cannibals beat and repeatedly stabbed a Kansas City Metro bus driver.

Notice the concern of the other passengers? Yeah, neither did I.  Although I did see the young woman pick up something off the floor. I'm going to assume it was the drivers wallet, if for no other reason than the way she stood right next to the the guy getting beat and stabbed, like she was waiting in line at Mcdonalds. If the driver had a gun, I wonder if Eric Holder would have told him to retreat as he suggested when addressing the recent meeting of the NAACP.  My recommendation, had he been armed, unload, reload, unload, lather, rinse , repeat.

Before I continue, here's a disclaimer..... Not all young black males are willing to beat and stab you to avoid paying a one dollar bus fare. It's up to you to decide if you want to assume the best or worst.I'd recommend erring on the side of caution. ......

In a perfect world we would all join hands, sing a sappy song, buy each other a coke. But this isn't a perfect world, not even close.

There's two sides to every coin. Al Sharpton and the talking airheads on MSNBC or Slate, or Huffington Post, or any of the usual mainstream peddlers of horse shit would have you believe that AmeriKKKa is overflowing with white boogey men. Armed to the teeth, white sheet in their pick up truck, hunting down innocent African Americans. These same race baiting poverty pimps would have you believe that if you fear young black males then you are the problem. You are what is holding America back like it's Selma Alabama circa 1959. You should feel ashamed. Furthermore, you should make amends by reacting with righteous indignation to any negative critique of young urban black youth. You should join the right rev. Sharpton in his mass protests planned for this Saturday.  Should you decide to join in on these protests, you'll hear the fairy tale of young black males being murdered by the George Zimmermans and Jack Booted cops. What you won't hear is this......

African Americans make up about 13 percent of the population. They account for roughly half of all homicide victims. At least 94 percent of these victims are murdered by other African Americans. They are 6 times more likely than whites to be murdered. Seven times more likely to murder someone.  I didn't pull these numbers out of thin air or my ass. These are the hard cold facts in America today.

So there it is. The honest jagged edged take on race and crime in this country, as seen through the eyes of a soon to be 54 year old creepy ass cracka. The big secret, the one most people are too afraid, ashamed, or patently dishonest to admit.......most people, white, black, brown, whatever, most people, in their heart of hearts, see it the same way. That kid with the sleepy eyed stare in his saggy pants and 3x t shirt is suspect. The proof is on the news nightly. Sure he could be harmless, a 3.0 honor student, or not.
