That genius, Juan Williams, is at it yet again. Because it’s according to this boob that Michael Brown's death ought to encourage both blacks and whites to think again about the causes of racial mistrust. This sage advice comes to us courtesy of Williams’ recent little piece in The Wall Street Journal. Williams is nothing but a pathetic fraud. He claims to care about the problem that blacks are made to face every single day, and yet refuses to admit what it is that’s the primary cause of those problems.
And of course, as to be expected from someone like this guy, he comes at this most recent incident from the direction that should come as no surprise to anyone. Because he writes, "If we are to stop angry clashes between police and poor black men, it is time to admit that thuggish behavior creates legitimate fear in every community." But let’s face it, blacks enjoy the intimidation factor. And perhaps if this poor black man hadn’t seen fit to go after the cop, he would not be dead today. But, that was his choice.
Williams goes on to say, "Close to half of black men drop out of high school. High unemployment and high rates of out-of-wedlock birth leave too many of them without guidance. Given this reality, the violent behavior of young black men and the police response have become a window on racial fears." And yet every time I see this moron on TV, he refutes the argument that it’s the same liberal policies he holds so dear that have decimated the black family. Which as we all know is the root cause for nearly every problem faced by the black community today.
It’s also according to Williams that black ‘leaders’, and I use the term loosely, make "troubling excuses" for criminal behavior. He cited how Bill Cosby has repeatedly called on civil rights leaders to speak out against loutish conduct by young black men. Brown can be seen in a police-released video violently menacing a convenience store clerk in Ferguson, Missouri, before stealing a box of cigars. And if you approach this incident responsibly, most eyewitness accounts back up the cops version of events. Which has Brown going after the cop.
Williams wrote, "More than 90 percent of the young black men killed by gunfire today are not killed by police but by other black men." Sadly the leading cause of death for black men ages 15 to 34 is murder. And at the same time he makes the claim, "too many poor black people fear white police as a threatening group that is not protecting them so much as intimidating, punishing and jailing them." Ok, so whose fault is that, really? And like I said, we all know that blacks get a certain thrill out of intimidating people, so might what we have here be another sad case of ‘what goes around, comes around.’
A recurrent racial theme is that a "thin blue line" of police protects law abiding society from dangerous elements. And according to Williams, the release of the convenience store video was intended for no other reason than to play to the fears of the white community by demonstrating that the dead teen "was no gentle giant but a threatening presence." Williams claims to support peaceful protests in Ferguson, and that would be fine if that’s what was actually taking place in Ferguson. But it’s not!! At least not the way I define ‘peaceful protest’.
Williams said protesters should move on to America's big cites. He wrote, "There they should hold protests against the forces feeding the racial fear of young black men among white people, black people and everyone else – the drug dealers, the gang bangers, the corrupt unions defending bad schools, and the musicians and actors who glorify criminal behavior among black men." What really needs to happen is for blacks to shun the race baiters. Because as long as blacks continue to listen to guys like Sharpton and Jackson, not much will change.
Look, like I’ve said before, if I’m a cop and I’ve got some big black dude coming after me and who tries going for my gun I’m not going to bother asking how old he is. And even if he’s unarmed, guess what? It’s not going to end well for one of us, and it ain’t gonna be me! Because at that point, my life has become infinitely more important than his. He’s the one who made the conscious decision to place his life in jeopardy, and I will not hesitate for a second to prove to him just how unwise that decision of his was.
