Racial Divide Deepens

It is amazing that having just elected a black president, this country is experiencing its worst flair up of racial tensions that I have experienced. Rather than promoting unity amongst the races, the administration is creating more polarization and worse is creating more radicals on BOTH sides. While BO, Holder et al. think they are doing black people a favor by treating them more favorably than the remainder of the population, in the long run they are creating more hatred and racism both against the blacks and black racism against whites.

A recent example is where the black panther in Philadelphia was engaged in voter intimidation and the case was dropped. An official at the Justice department testified that no case will be pursued where a black person is accused of racism. This exemplifies different standards of treatment based on the color of one's skin which is by definition racist. But by the law of unintended consequences, although BO thinks he is doing black people a favor by this policy, he is doing the complete opposite.

If black people feel there is no consequence to radical behavior then one would expect more episodes of these acts and perhaps much worse. If white people feel there is no law enforcement against black crimes then they will take the law into their own hands. It will also push whites into more radical racist groups. By treating people differently in front of the law based on skin color, people will see the law as arbitrary and lead to greater polarization of the races into more extreme ideologies.

We already hear a call to arms by black extremists and murder of cracker babies and their mothers. The administration does nothing to pacify these extreme voices. The media only reports about the radicals on one side and not the other. Both the administration and the media are unintentionally encouraging more radicalism by their inaction and bias.

This radicalism is likely to continue to worsen as this administration continues with its policy failures. Blacks will falsely blame BO's failures on racism as they have so much invested in this president's success. As BO become more unpopular and the GOP regains control this will further polarize the black community and they may become desperate as their great hope whithers. I predict we are heading into a time of extreme racial unrest and I fear where these trends leads to. Is it not logical to assume that violence will eventually be the outcome of this radical racial polarization.
