By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Gangsta rap[2] is the language of the Ghetto—of the thugs, slugs, hoods and mongrels of "Black Lives Matter," Antifa and other far-Left groups.  They have burned our cities; killed or hurt innocent Americans including our police; and destroyed black and other businesses.  They have deified thugs like George Floyd; defaced our monuments and tried to rewrite history; and they should not be role models for anyone. They are the dregs of our society.

America's blacks constitute less than 13 percent of our population.[3]  Yet, turn on the TV, and one might think they are the majority, and whites are in the minority—which is a byproduct of woke guilt.  Tragically, the Democrats gave us slavery; and after our Civil War, they perpetuated it with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), segregation, and then Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" programs, which destroyed black families and consigned them to economic servitude.

Contrariwise, there are many fine and highly-educated and intelligent American blacks who have risen up the societal totem pole, such as Condoleezza Rice and Edward W. Brooke, the first black Senator after Reconstruction, following the Civil War.  There are other unsung blacks who work hard each and every day, and contribute to America simply by doing this.  They do not bristle with racial hatred like Barack and Michelle Obama.[4]

Because of the Obamas' anger and underlying hatred for white America, they have sown divisions that separate us today.  And the "dumbing down" effect has become more visible and pronounced.  It seems the Obamas revel in the divisions, which is sad.  Ours is a nation that desperately needs to come together and heal.  Crime and divisions need to be "torn asunder," not perpetuated.
