“The Real Crisis of Black America”

June 1, 2018 By Richard C. Young

Writing at The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan wonders why Roseanne Barr’s recent tweet, though “Offensive, juvenile, [and] crude,” has been given so much attention, while what he calls “the real crisis of black America,” goes relatively unnoticed. Pat writes (abridged):

For Roseanne Barr, star of ABC’s hit show “Roseanne,” there would be no appeal. When her tweet hit, she was gone.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement, is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” declaimed Channing Dungey, the president of ABC Entertainment.

Targeting Valerie Jarrett, a confidante and aide of President Barack Obama, Roseanne had tweeted: “muslim brotherhood & the planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

Offensive, juvenile, crude, but was that not pretty much the job description ABC had in mind for the role of Roseanne on the show?

Roseanne also tweeted that George Soros, 87-year-old radical-liberal billionaire, had been a Nazi “who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps and stole their wealth.”

Her firing came the same day that 175,000 employees of 8,000 Starbucks stores were undergoing four hours of instruction to heighten their racial sensitivities.

The Philly Starbucks manager had called the cops when the two black men she took to be loiterers refused to leave.

The America of the 1960s, with its civil rights clashes and “long hot summers,” was a far more segregated society than today. Yet the toxic charge of “racist” is far more common now.

And how much do these conversations correspond to the real crisis of black America? Here is a sentence culled from another Post story this week: “Three fatal shootings…over the Memorial Day weekend brought the (Ward 8 total) to 30 homicides so far this year.”

Are white cops really the problem in Ward 8, Anacostia, when 30 people in that black community have been shot or stabbed to death in the first five months of 2018?
