Following the tragic violence in Chicago this past week I'm thinking..where is all of the outrage!? One child dead and another barely clinging to his life, and I don't see activists lining up to condemn the violence. This is the democrats own backyard and they are saying near to nothing. The strongest voice I heard about the attacks was the passionate plea from hated Fox News commentator Glenn Beck.
How is it there is more outrage about the arrest of Roman Polanski than the death of a 16 year old boy. Why isn't Hollywood lining up to pour resources into the embattled streets of Chicago. Is a child rapist more important than a child murder? Obama, Michelle, and Oprah fly off to extol the virtues of the Windy City instead organizing a counter measure to the violence in the streets. That is probably why they didn't want to make such a big deal about it. Pictures of smashed heads wouldn't impress the IOC; meanwhile, another child has a fractured skull.
Debra Winger talks about philistines, does she even know what that means. I would not describe a person that decries rape and sodomy of a 13 year old as having too strict of a moral code. I call someone who supports such activities an animal. If that is bohemian behavior then they should all be banished to Bohemia. On second thought, I wouldn't want to do that to the people that really live there.
It is just these same misplaced moralities that allows children to run the streets in violent battles. It condones fathers leaving their families unsupported while he "does his thing."
The racism in this country is not the criticism of Obama and his policies. The racism is the corrupt inner city dynamic that lets murder and mayhem rule outside our schools, and kills an honor student who just happened to be there.
