Letter to the Editor: Black lives matter

TO THE EDITOR:

Black lives matter! Black lives matter greatly and Blacks have every reason to be upset. In the last fifty years blacks have been continuously and further isolated from assimilation into America's society and it is getting worse. Democrats and the major media have encouraged demonstrations and violence against whites as the way to correct the problem. However, the problem is a result of Democrat policies and liberal media propaganda, not America or capitalists. Blacks have been segregated into our inner cities like South Chicago by Democrats promising government charity instead of economic independence with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities guaranteed for all Americans by the Constitution.

Democrats have failed and Blacks suffer. Democrats have further isolated blacks into Hillary style villages by promoting divisive racists actions such as promoting Ebonics to form communication barriers, castigating of all job producing enterprises, retarding education by removing achievement and discipline from the schools. Democrats have hidden their priorities with "political correction" to all Americans in general and blacks in particular. If one builds something they are entitled to payment. Government gifts such as free phones, food stamps, cash cards, subsidized housing, and a multitude of other subsidies are government charity and not entitlements. Why do Democrats segregate and denigrate blacks? One word-votes. How do they do this? Free stuff and extensive blame that everyone but Democrats are racist and against blacks. Democrats have been in total multi-generational control of inter cities and conditions have proven that Democrats cannot and will not improve black lives.

Socialism creates racism and hatred against non-socialists for votes and political power. Capitalism does not hate and is color blind. Shoppers at Walmart select the best quality at the lowest price with no interest in the color of the producers. Capitalism available to the common citizen is the "American Dream"-not socialism. If people produce a better product at a lower price in a free market they are entitled to keep their profits. Ever improving cars, cell phones, TVs' and computers are prime examples. 

Just five years ago Democrats endorsed Venezuela as a great model of socialism to be adopted in America. Really? Today Venezuelans are violently invading Columbia just to get food. 

Black lives do matter. Blacks should reject 50 years of failed Democrat performance. Try capitalism. When blacks make better products at a lower cost while making a profit they will be entitled to and will get the rewards of their contributions. It will take hard work and less than 50 years.
