What a despicable person Loretta Lynch is

[WVPATX]

She said this this weekend in a Church:

"Waves of hatred, waves of intolerance and injustice that are still blowing in this country, and they seem to grow stronger the more that we achieve,” Lynch said.

Lynch is the Attorney General of the United States. Obama is President. Eric Holder was Attorney General. The most powerful women in the White House, Valerie Jarrett was black. We, as a country have come a long way since 1863. We have come a long way since 1965. Yet, Lynch claims that WAVES of intolerance and injustice are blowing as blacks get stronger. What country does she live in? She is a liar and a demagogue. She is claiming victimhoood and that is exactly the wrong message to send. Others blacks read this and if anything goes wrong in life for them, they now have someone else to blame, whites. No wonder race relations in this country are in very, very bad shape.

She is pitting white against blacks. She is a race baiter. Nothing but more hatred and animosity will be achieved with statements like this.

Do racists still exist, or course. But not nearly as many as existed in 1965. But she will turn whites off with this kind of rhetoric. She is making whites out to be the villains and thus stopping black progress. That is a recipe for more hatred.

I wouldn't say this quote makes her a despicable person. I don't think she's been a very good AG, but despicable is a strong word to use.

Very good AG? Respectfully and vehemently disagree. Her meeting on the tarmac with Clinton was the height of either stupidity or duplicity. Either way, very, very bad judgment if not an outright bribe. Her alignment with black lives matters over the police (she should have stayed even handed with much more support for the police than she gave) was a huge black mark. Her comments I posted are both a lie and serve to separate the races rather than heal racial divisions. Why inflame an already bad situation? Her various investigations into police officers in cities across the country was fatally flawed. She used disparate analysis.

In her analysis, if blacks make up 13% of the population and they are arrested or stopped or searched at a higher percentage, it was due to bad and bigoted policing. Ridiculous. We need to look at who is committing the crimes. What percentages. Where the crimes are being committed. We need to look at the specific circumstances surrounding stops, shootings, tasings, etc. Disparate analysis is completely irrelevant to statistical studies of this kind. Yet, she has indicted police across the country.

The black community and the police need to heal. They need to reconcile and come together. Black murder rates in many big cities have gone up dramatically because police are backing away from proactive policing and who can blame them. The victims are blacks shot and killed because the police are simply not as present as they used to be.

Racism is a subject near and dear to my heart. And I really do feel that a new era of racists are being empowered by Trump. In that regard I understand what she is saying. But I find it equally disturbing that Loretta Lynch and others don't realize how far we have come in such a short time and how her and Obama's praise of unworthy African American young men like Michael Brown pushed us backwards. (Especially Obama's). The Obama's administration's embrace of Jay-z and Beyonce and their anti-police stance is repulsive to the majority of Americans. As I have said numerous times, their are plenty of whites and blacks that were worthy faces for the fight on police brutality and Lynch and Obama picked the asshats to be the faces of police brutality.

I appreciate your post and it is very thoughtful. However, I do have one question. You claim Trump has empowered the racists. I know he talked about Muslim immigration and Mexican illegal immigration. But what has he said specifically about blacks that has emboldened the racists?

He has met with black leaders, Jim Brown, Kanye West (LOL), Ray Lewis, Steve Harvey, etc. He has promised to help rebuild inner cities with stimulus funds. He supports alternative education for failing public schools in inner cities. He has promised jobs in inner cities. He has offered federal help to stop the murders in Chicago. And yet, Loretta Lynch makes these comments apparently referencing Trump. I honestly don't get it.

Do you want me to post some racist libs on you tube? There are lots and lots of them. BLM, Nation of Islam, La Raza, etc. Not individuals like you posted and much, much bigger than the KKK. Nice try.

 

[WVUCOOPER]

Good catch, my bad. In your opinion, what did you think of her comments?

I don't think it does any good to lump basically half of the country as racist. I think it murders debate. That said, the 1/2 in control in a few days needs to recognize that major problems do exist. Unfortunately I'd bet one 1/2 will continue to claim the other half is racist and the other half will shut down debate out of pride.

It is more what he didn't say for a long period that bothered me. He refused to denounce the KKK and racist nonsense until the election approached and even then it was via a short response or delivered through a spokesperson. The crap at went on during his rallies and caught on tape was disgusting. His silence encouraged it in my opinion. His repeated claims to keep Hispanics and Muslims out fueled the racists. It is really that simple

If Trump , relocates some of the branches of the government to places with economic blight, (such as Detroit ). It will stuff a BIG FATTY in all of the #MAGA haters,BIG TIME! And with the cost of property being so abundant in Detroit and all the cost of living so affordable. It would be a no Brainerd not locate to Detroit

We've discussed this before PAX...this is classic Leftist ideology. Any progress we make is only because of Government. Since Blacks or the Left don't control Government, we're all still slaves don't you know?

If all of that progress which you correctly pointed out has been made, what are they still complaining about? And how come someone like Ben Carson is "unqualified" to run HUD instead of celebrated yet someone as incompetent as Shelia Jackson Lee is a designated spokesperson for the Black Congressional caucus?

Dave, I drove through eastern WV in September 2016. Confederate flags everywhere. They are now popping up all over the interstates in VA. We all have read about the two elected officials making sickening racist comments about FLOTUS. I saw on facebook a post about exterminating Muslims. (religion not race) There is zero doubt in my mind that Trump's silence encouraged these idiots to surface and rally.

That's disingenuous. That's like saying Reagan's silence encouraged the bigots of his era. Racists are going to peddle their hate regardless...no one has to be "silent" to encourage them.

Ben Carson is a brilliant man but if you watched his confirmation hearing, he appeared unqualified. He didn't even appear to have prepared at all. But I have no issue with his nomination

She is right. She is not race baiting and she isn't pitting blacks against whites.

If you didn't see racial hatred and tension at the Trump rallies this past summer and fall, you had your eyes closed. If you didn't see it between November 9th and today, you aren't looking.

People calling Michelle an ape, swastikas everywhere, the PEOTUS attacking a civil rights leader on the weekend of the MLK Jr holiday.

Success by African Americans brings out the hatred from the racists.

We have got to figure out some way for the nation to come together (outside of a catastrophic event like 9/11 which did bring us together). We are now isolated groups of like individuals rather than a melting pot. I certainly have no answers, but I do know that vilifying opposing groups isn't the answer.

Maybe if the following happen, it will help:

1. Secure the border, deport illegal alien felon criminals, stop or greatly slow drug flow into the U.S., get rid of illegal alien gangs, and provide green cards for law abiding illegals that have jobs, speak English and pay a fine. I think most Illegals would accept if not outright agree with that policy.
2. Build a safe zone in Syria for migrants and deploy NATO forces to secure it. Have to work with Russia to accomplish.
3. Furiously vet potential muslim immigrants. If we can't vet (papers, ID's, background, etc.), they don't get entry. Don't jeopardize American lives.
4. Focus on inner cities jobs, education and rebuilding infrastructure. Give federal help to reduce murder rates. Initiate programs to reduce out of wedlock births, which is the genesis of high drop out rates, criminal activity and drug use. Work with minority churches to provide help.
5. Provide better training and other tools for police forces to help improve community relations.

He's never been an eloquent public speaker, but he is not unqualified or stupid as the Left suggests. He's just not a politician or a creature of doublespeak as most Government pols are. The man is a world renown Pediatric Neurosurgeon. You don't buy those credentials from some online distance learning College.

I too disagree. Trump's son said David Duke deserved a bullet. Trump has met with black leaders and seems sincere in helping inner cities and reduce murder rates. I think liberals were looking as hard as possible to label Trump a racist, because that is what they do during every election. It has worked since 95% of blacks vote Dem.

 

[atlkvb]

Maybe. But Trump didn't want to alienate anybody's vote so he sat their quietly and tolerated it. As bad as the Obama's embracing Beyoncé and Jay Z

Trump neither invited nor promoted bigots who showed up at his events. Obama has had Jay Z and Beyonce entertaining in the White House. BLM too!

I'd love to see the Department of Energy in Southern WV. Jobs desperately needed. Land is cheap. Lots of available workers. I like the Detroit idea as well.

Did you not see the riots? Did you not see the property damage? Did you not see the Mexican flags? You're the one not looking. It was also proven that many protestors were paid by the Dems.

Racists exists. Everyone acknowledges that. Calling Michele an ape is a single racist, one person. And frankly, John Lewis, had it coming. He called out Trump first saying he was illegitimate. Does Lewis's civil rights stance inoculate him from any criticism? No way. Even Manchin said Lewis was way out of line.

Lynch said this:

"Waves of hatred, waves of intolerance and injustice that are still blowing in this country, and they seem to grow stronger the more that we achieve,” Lynch said.

That implies that we are growing more and more racist as black achieve more. That is patently absurd and divides not unites.

Did she comment on black, Mexican or Muslim racists? No way. Nation of Islam? No comment. BLM, no comment. La Raza, no comment. Anti semites amongst Muslim groups (e.g. CAIR), no comment.

We have come a long way. Made a lot of progress. She doesn't cite any of that.

Trump didn't need to invite or promote racists. He allowed it. I also see the double standard desired and promoted by the left. BLM but police officers don't. But I also see the racism on the right.

Racism exists on the right and the left. But the media only discuss white racists as do many libs on this board. And racism is much, much smaller today than when I was growing up. And it is not even close.

But the KKK is dwarfed by La Raza, Nation of Islam, BLM, CAIR and other racist or partially racist groups. I don't think BLM is all racist, but many of their adherents are.

The Dems play the racist card each election. And the media goes along. No mention of lib racists. None.

I'm not saying this to be mean, but if it bothers you that African Americans stand up for their rights and stand up against racism, then you have a serious problem.

Standing up for that you believe in is fine. Protesting is fine if done peacefully. The riots were far from peaceful. Injuries. Shots fired. Fires set. Property damaged. But why were protestors paid for the the DNC? If they are so upset, why do they have to be paid?

And it is also fair to point out discrimination on the left. As I said, far more organized racism than the KKK and much, much larger. But you and the media don't acknowledge it. You pass it off as reverse discrimination that you ignore. What about those hurt by it and don't want it ignored? They want it highlighted so that others are not hurt.

Be intellectually honest.

 

[WVPATX]

Hahahaha! The Republicans just nominated a racist for AG.

You are so full of crap. Sessions is no racist. Look at his record. He had many black supporters at his hearing. He took on the KKK in Alabama. Put their leader on death row. Helped the victims win a private law suit and put the KKK out of business. They had to sell their building to help pay the lawsuit.

You throw the term racism out so much, it loses all meaning.

You keep bringing up riots, why?

You started this thread by saying how despicable Lynch is for stating we still have race problems in this country. I said she was right, the racism reared its ugly head at practically every Trump rally.

The riots have nothing to do with this conversation.

Racism still exists; you can see it on this very board. You see it on the news every single day. I will agree with you, it's probably not as bad as it was in the 60, but there is still a long ways to go.

She is saying racism is getting stronger. She is FOS. She is a race baiter.

Secondly, you said African Americans have a right to stand up for their rights. That is very,very true. What they don't have the right to do is riot as they did along with others at Trump rallies. Riots that injured, destroyed property and frightened. That is not acceptable. Then we learned that the DNC paid many of them to show up. That is not a spontaneous demonstration against racism, it is a well paid job.

Racism still exists ON BOTH SIDES. I would argue that leftist racists are much more organized than conservative racists. And you're right, I see and read abut leftist racism everyday. But you never seem to acknowledge leftist racism even exists.
