We are all familiar with blowback as the Empire attempts to assert its dominance around the world, that’s what most terrorism aimed at the US is about.
Now, a new form of blowback may be emerging: Domestic Blowback.
I have long chronicled the government rules and regulations that have made success difficult for many, particularly young black men.
Minimum wage laws prevent them from getting that first job. Drug laws have created an “opportunity” in the underground world for them, but if they get caught by the government operating in this world, they face long periods of incarceration.
Government education is a joke. And on top of that they have few role models to show them how to live and succeed in the modern world, as LBJ’s Great Society programs removed adult males from black family settings.
Instead, front and center are hustlers like Al Sharpton, who use the caged-like environment faced by many young black men to instigate racial strife. An instigation that has now been advanced further by the President and his wife (SEE: Michelle Obama’s Experience at Target Wasn’t Racist Back in 2012).
The anger is real, though generally misdirected. The problem is not racial but government oppression. Curiously, this anger is now being directed, though a bit in a confused manner, at the first line enforcers of government regulations, the police. It is, for all practical purposes, blowback against the government rules and regulations that have created a toxic brew of failure and anger among many black youth.
They experience the first line enforcers on a regular basis. They don’t understand the deep nature of the rules and regulations that are causing their plight, but they do know the police are on the opposite side of the plight, pushing them, stopping them, frisking them and arresting them. And thus the anger at the police.
The anger among black youth probably can be charted in the form of some kind of bell curve, with few actually wanting to kill coppers and willing to execute the killings, But there probably are a few–the exact number unknown.
The executions yesterday of two NYPD officers by Ismaaiyl Brinsley shows us that the tail end of the curve is not empty. It turns out that cop killer Brinsley is something of a wordsmith so he left it clear why he launched the executions:
