In  two separate headlines today we have two mountain Rams  that inadvertently have two different opinions on the same subject of race relations but neither one of them are coming up with the right solution.

Butting heads and violence is not the answer. In the real animal world; one of the rams always gets their ass kicked. America needs an amicable solution so all sides are winners not just one Ram.

Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson: ‘It Feels Like Open Season on Black Men in America’

Bill O’Reilly: It is open season on white men and Christians

Essentially they are saying the same thing in a different light.  There is only one resolution to the racial dilemma in this country; EDUCATION. Not appointing czars, committees or time studies. Education and direct action are the only answers.

The fact of the matter is both men are correct.

First we have Hank Johnson claiming that it is open season on the black men in America. Sad to say, in a small part I do agree that the blacks have been targeted by some very negligent and probably prejudicial police forces in this country. Thankfully they are in a very small minority but that can also be resolved through education as well.

On the other side of the coin; did Mr. Johnson ever take the time to look at the crime statistics where over 80% of all crime are committed by black men?  If a person doesn’t put themselves in an illegal/compromising situations it is less likely there can be a confrontation. Behave and act in an acceptable manner and much of the stereotyping will disappear. This mentality should apply to all races.

RACE AND CRIME – METROPEDIA

• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is Black and Hispanic. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving Blacks and Whites, Blacks commit 85 percent and Whites commit 15 percent. These are accurate, documented statistics. 

Then we have (by his own admission) the king of bloviating Bill O’Reilly, claiming that it is open season on white Christian men. He is also correct.

This happens to be a cold hard fact of life. Once any person allows someone to punch them in the face and they do not retaliate, they are setting an irreversible pattern.  Life is supposed to be a compromise between civilized people not a monopoly.

When people, a company or a national has an out of control situation, no matter what it may be; INTELLIGENT people should get together, leave their hostilities on the doorstep, sit down, and by using compromise and level headedness they can come to a resolution on how to correct the problem.  That is IF they truly want to resolve the problem.

There happens to be people in this country that thrive on controversy and upsetting the apple cart.  We know who they are. The guys with the gas cans in their hands, standing on their soap boxes, ready to pour gas on the embers. They only show up after the fact to piss people off.  These guys are the serpents that do not want racial harmony. They make a good living off dissention, ciaos and other peoples misery.

Racial harmony can be attained if handled the right way through EDUCATION but that is not how our government operates. Their MO (modus operandi) is to put together several hundred commissions to do a study that takes 10 years and billions of dollars to try and decipher the problems. It never works.

I have seen some different communities in the USA put together social programs for kids to keep them away from the trash that is out in the streets corrupting them.  They all have had great success. I don’t care if is the martial arts, music, sports, art or anything that will help develop their minds and bodies and keep them on the straight and narrow.  That is what education is all about.

Obviously the money is there but our government rather send it across the pond. Charity should begin at home.

Turning around something as huge as racism will take decades to achieve but it has to start somewhere but no one in the big seats wants to make a move; it is all lip service/politicking.  If it doesn’t give the politicians instant popularity so their ratings go up, they run away from the tough issues like it is a leper colony.

If anyone is truly interested in turning the corner, they absolutely have to forget about what happened yesterday or in the last century; that cannot be changed. The main focus has to be on, WHERE CAN WE GO TOMORROW so future generations do not have to put up with the same hostility and discord between races.  If all parties involved are not willing to do that, they are pissing up a rope.

I wrote a very simple self-help book years ago called The Candle. The candle is symbolic. The concept of the 5 page book is primarily for individual use to assist people that have little to no self-control in their addictions or bad habits that want to get their lives under control. The perception of the books contents can be used on a broader scale.

If any person or entity has a severe problem and they are not doing anything to correct it but complaining; they are essentially sitting there holding their finger in the flame of the candle and burning the hell out of it.   The solution is very simple; pull your finger away from the flame, in doing so the problem is being resolved.  Leave your finger in the flame and burn it or pull it out and resolve the problem. It is that easy.

If this person or entity is so stubborn, stupid, bull-headed or unreasonable to take their finger out of the flame; then shut up, quit bitching about it and keep burning your finger.

There is an answer to 95% of the problems we have in this world, if the parties concerned really want a solution!!! Cut out the politics and grandstanding and do what has to be done. It is that easy!! It usually is about power, greed, ignorance or money that keeps the fire burning.
