WHY TALEEB?
In 2011, when Ann Coulter told SeanHannity, Our blacks are so much better than their blacks, themainstream media went nuts. Whoopi Goldberg said, I didnt know we wereanybodys blacks, and even right wing news sources were informing Ann thatslavery had been abolished. They were all being willfully ignorant because weare so desperate for racist villains, well lynch anyone who talks openly aboutrace. Ann was clearly referring to Herman Cain, and everyone ignored the secondhalf of her quote where she added, You have fought against probably yourfamily, probably your neighbors... thats why we have very impressiveblacks. She was speakingabout African-American people of color (or whatever the term is this week) whohave the courage to be truthful and blunt no matter how uncomfortable it makestheir fellow blacks feel.
Half a century ago, we had the FreedomRiders daring to go town-to-town in the South comingling with blacks in areaswhere such actions were verboten. Today, the courageous ones are on the right.When Ann says our shes talking about the likes of Thomas Sowell, Deroy Murdock, Jason Riley, and Allen West. These black menbrave family gatherings such as Thanksgiving and confront their family memberswith counterintuitive thoughts like, welfare is bad for the black familyand legal guns make bad neighborhoods safer. This is not how liberalswant blacks to behave. Blacks are meant to push for social programs and voteDemocrat even though the Dems have caused them nothing but trouble since theCivil Rights Act. Liberals demand blacks vote for gay marriage even if thatcontradicts their religious beliefs. If ex-KKK member David Duke likes Trump,we have to gasp in horror but if ex-KKK member and Democrat Robert Byrd endorses Hillary and Obama, were meant to ignore it.Liberals push Planned Parenthood on the hood even though abortions have killedmore blacks than, well, anything. The left treats blacks like whimpering petsthey can trot out in commercials to gain more votes, taxes, and power. Theright wants to treat them as adults.
When I think of our blacks, I casta wider net than Ann. Our refers to those of us brave enough tochampion free speech and tell it like it is no matter how much it hurts. Wespeak on the record the way we all talk in bars. Our is the people inthe trenches, willing to make the tough decisions no matter how unpopular itmakes them. The aforementioned conservative black intellectuals are great, buttheyre also nerds. Im a fan of conservative blacks who possess an urbanveneer. Im talking about the likes of Sonnie Johnson and yes, Taleeb Starkes.Thomas Sowell lives in a beautiful mansion in sunny California. Starkes livesin a modest row home in Philly. Where many of the conservative blacks Ann wasreferring to make their living pontificating about a history they left behind,Taleeb is in it. His full-time job is working with troubled teens who dont fit into the system. They challenge him to fistfights and he has to constantly juggle not losing face with not losing his job.Im more apt to listen to Taleebs views on poor, black teenagers or as themedia call them youths. Its easy to come up with solutions for theworst of the worst sitting at your desk, but Taleebs answer is shocking. Removethe weeds from the garden, he says of the irreparable few, Separatethe liabilities from the assets. While many can be whipped into shape andencouraged to assimilate, there are plenty who are disrespectedbecause they havent earned respect.
This is the kind of voice needed movingforward in America, someone whos actually been there. When we listen to the peoplein the trenches such as Starkes, we all prosper. Hes rough around the edgesand so blatantly honest, it makes most of us uncomfortable. Hes not anacademic and doesnt use pretentious verbiage. Moreover, his books explain whatis really going on in America in a language that the people most affected by itcan understand. In that sense, there is no voice more relevant than Taleebs.These are not hypothetical scenarios. This is the truth.

The RaceGrievance Industry
White America is a syndicate arrayed to protect itsexclusive power to dominate and control our bodies. Sometimes this power isdirect (lynching), and sometimes it is insidious (redlining).Ta-Nehisi Coates
Have you noticedthe unchanged pattern of outrage that manifests from the black communitywhenever a black life is taken by a white person, especially a whitecop? Also, have you noticed that the same culture-vultures arrive withouthesitation to gluttonously feast during these incidents? Theyfiguratively pick apart the black body until its a carcass leaving nothingfor bacteria to decompose. These opportunists are arsonists dressed as firstresponders, and their mission is to start racial infernos. In other words, theyracialize not harmonize.
Undoubtedly, youve noticed this trend even if youre a bleeding-heartliberal.
One must understandthat these call to action reactions are not spontaneous; theyre calculatedmaneuvers promoted by an ever-present Race Grievance Industry an industry whose only product isvictimhood... and its manufactured without pause.
The Race GrievanceIndustrys sole purpose is to profit from racial strife under the guise ofpursuing racial peace. Its modus operandi is rooted in a lie that refuses todie: blacks are permanent victims of racism and no amount of effort willovercome it. The lie is rinsed and repeated in different ways, but themessage remains unchanged America is a racist labyrinth specifically designed to stifleblack advancement.
A century ago, Booker T. Washington noticed the RaceGrievance Industrys agenda:
There is another class of coloured people who make abusiness of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negrorace before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living outof their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising theirwrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some ofthese people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do notwant to lose their jobs.
On one hand, the R.G.I. will declare thatrace is a social construct, but then use race to socially construct a paycheck.Even when blacks are the majority population in cities such as Baltimore, and occupy key positions mayor, city council, citycouncil president, police chief, fire chief, school superintendent, etc. the Race Grievance Industrystill schemes to convince blacks that racism is Americas default setting. Food for thought:If a city that had a predominantly gay populace, gay mayor, gay city councilwith a gay president, gay police chief, and gay fire chief, etc. blamedhomophobia for its problems, wouldnt that be laughable? By the way, I hope theGaystapo doesnt come after me for that analogy.
