A UN official named Muigai from Kenya has reported that the biggest racists in America are the police, citing the high numbers of incarcerated minorities.
This is serious. Aren't you tired of the UN meddling in our affairs? They would like us to give up our second ammendment rights, foot the bill for every crazy police action they conjure up, and now they want to dictate how we enforce the law. Look, I know the police over step their bounds, but we don't need the help of the UN, which has been found to have corruption problems and racial affinities of their own. Besides, has anyone really thought about why arrests amongst minorities are nuch higher than amongst whites? Minorities, generally, despite efforts by the community to help which have been somewhat successful, have less education and money and a lower life expectancy. This is to be expected as we are raising them up so they truly do have all of the opporunities that whites have. However, equality is not going to happen over night. We are working very hard at equality, but it won't happen instantaneously. Unfortunately, most people arrested are minorities because those are the people who, due to economic and educational disparities, commit the crime, usually because they feel they have no alternative given the inequities I have mentioned. This problem will continue as society attempts to educate minorities with the skills they need to be truly equal, and as the process continues we will see less and less disparity when it comes to arests of various racial groups. However, again, we cannot expect to see this change tomorrow, no matter how many UN officials criticize us. We are doing something about it and things are getting better. More blacks own businesses today than in the past and that number is increasing, more minorities are college educated and are taking their places in government and the private sector. We have numerous programs, funded by tax payer dollars, to ensure that the process continues. So what else can we do MR. Muigai? Make sure we arrest more whites even though they've committed no crime? Or maybe we should let more guilty minorities go. I know some people would read this and say I'm a racist, but I am simply being honest. Too many times these days honesty about race is confused with racism, most often by people too fixated on race.
So, my suggestion is for MR. Muigai to butt out and be concerned with his own country, which is experiencing far more turmoil and bigotry than ever existed in this country.
