Flash mobs: The answer?

 With the backdrop of rioting currently ongoing in the UK, Americans need to pay attention to what has been occurring all across this country for the past several months. Flash mobs are the new rage in minority social networks.

From Philadelphia, to Chicago, to Seattle, to Wisconsin, the spontaneous racial violence in this country has passed the level of simple isolated incidents. It is now occurring with regularity. The mayor of Philadelphia seems to be addressing it in his city with some tough talk and tough action. 

Mayor Nutter on black youth and violence in Philadelphia
Mayor Michael A. Nutter, telling marauding black youths “you have damaged your own race,” imposed a tougher curfew Monday in response to the latest “flash mob” — spontaneous groups of teens who attack people at random on the streets of the city’s tourist and fashionable shopping districts.

“Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer,” Mr. Nutter, the city’s second black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.”

“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you ‘cause you look like you’re crazy,” the mayor said. “You have damaged your own race.”
 I salute the man. this is precisely the type of recognition of leadership that is required amongst those in the black community in elected offices. Ironically, it's the same analysis that Bill Cosby has been giving for the past several years and he has been hammered by those in the black community for speaking out and speaking the truth.

The bottom line, Mayor Nutter hits the problem and the responsibility squarely in my opinion. We need more like him to speak out,  as this is a problem that is not going away. It will continue and it will spread and the time is here and rapidly increasing when the denials and racial alibis will no longer suffice to explain it away.

Wake up America. this is the face of anarchy and chaos and it has been being fermented and fostered via class warfare and racial division and a social mentality that financial equality is a right and those deprived of wealth are deprived through no fault of their own.  Wake up and look around. Watch what is presently occurring all across the UK. In my opinion, that same rampaging will soon appear here  in America soon.

It already has.
