We are watching our culture morally and psychologically dumbed-down to a level dangerously below retardation.
And a huge new wave of stupid and depraved as recently arisen during and as a direct result of the age of Obama: the flash mob.
We watched (some of us with horror) the devastation of London, in which a socialistic nanny state was powerless in the grip of entitlement-driven young people who burned and looted as law-abiding business owners learned that the state not only could not but would not protect them.
We saw the results of a government that was presented as the answer to everything – the entitlement society and the entitlement mindset. We saw the results of a generation conditioned by the political left to be dependent supplicants of the government as Savior.
In particular, we saw in Greece and then again in London what happens when – as Margaret Thatcher said in her description of the problem with socialism – “we run out of other people’s money.”
What happens when people who have been trained and conditioned to believe that the government will provide for them discover that the benefits have run out?
The answer is violence.
If the rich owe us, as Obama and the left keeps telling us, and if the rich aren’t forking out what they owe society to keep it functioning, then what conclusion is rational and inevitable but that we have a right to take from the rich what they will not give us?
Enter the Barack Obama Flash mob epidemic of young blacks who parasitically prey on “rich” whites (“White folks’ greed runs a world in need” alert!):
Young Black Men, and The Power of Flash Mobs!!
June 13, 2011 by Staff(ThyBlackMan.com) We cannot police hopelessness and despair!
There are those who are angered and surprised by the violence of urban “Flash Mobs” (quickly forming groups of young people using technology to organize), especially crowds of young Black men, descending on mostly White, affluent downtown American cities. However, if we analyze this phenomenon, it is not so surprising. In fact, it is highly predictable. While there is no justification for young Black men to rob and beat people of any race, the activities of flash mobs are easily understandable in the context of recent social history and current economic conditions.
Most of these young men are poor, desperate and hopeless. They come from broken families and broken communities. They have been failed by their schools and by social and faith organizations in their communities. They don’t have jobs and many of them will never have jobs. They live at the bottom rung of society. The kind of havoc they wreak among us through “flash mobbing” is the kind of havoc they have lived with their entire young lives. For them, there is a perverse kind of justice and sense of fairness in their ability to create flash mobs that breathe terror into the hearts of other Americans.
Predictive factors for young Black males participating in the activities of violent flash mobs in Chicago are shown by recent data:
- This summer, 90% of young Black men in Chicago between 16 and 19 years old are unemployed.
- Only 44% of Black males graduate with a high school diploma from Chicago public schools.
- Only three out of 100 Black boys who start kindergarten in the Chicago Public Schools earn a bachelors degree by age 25.
- 70% of Black children in America are born into and live in single, female-headed households that are usually impoverished.
- Black males are 6% of Illinois’ population but they represent 60% of the state’s prison population.
The power and strength of a flash mob are in its large number of congregants and in its ability to assemble quickly and to disband equally as fast. The word “flash” is an allusion to social media — texting, smart phones Twitter and Facebook. Flash media, an effective tool for organizing a social cause, is the same media that brought down the government of Egypt. Now inner-city youth are using this same media, but instead of toppling governments, they “topple” Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Old Navy, and they steal IPads and IPhones from defenseless citizens.
The message from the flash mob to us is even more threatening than the mob itself. That message is, “You can’t control us! You don’t scare us! Your police don’t scare us! Your prisons don’t scare us! We are mightier than you! We will take what you have because you have given us few other options in life for earning similar things. And most importantly, we will take your peace of mind. Just as we in our communities cannot ever feel secure, now neither can you! We are more afraid of continuing to live our lives as they are than we are of you locking us up. What do we have to lose? For once, we are more powerful than you!”
Flash mobs are not new. In Black communities across America for the past 30 years, large groups of Black males have attacked others. In the past few years, jobless, desperate, hopeless youth have rioted in France, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Tunisia, and Egypt in efforts eerily similar to America’s flash mobs, but on a much larger scale and with politically clear motives and demands. These youth have taken over business districts, cities and countries and they have destroyed billions of dollars in property while toppling governments. The same root causes for these youth riots and disturbances in Europe and Northern Africa are producing similar actions, and possibly similar politically conscious attitudes, in the youth of Chicago, New York City, Charlotte, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia and other American cities.
Politicians and the police are working under the false and dangerous assumption that hopelessness and despair can be policed. The police are out-numbered and out-maneuvered in this battle of minds, spirits, bodies and technology. Even as thirty-three flash mobbers were arrested in Chicago this past week, the communities in Chicago were producing a thousand more potential flash mobbers to replace them. When Black boys are not reading at grade level by the third grade, we are creating conditions for a flash mob. When Black teenagers cannot find meaningful work, we are creating conditions for a flash mob. When young Black boys do not have suitable role models and mentors, we are creating conditions for a flash mob.
The best way to deter a violent flash mob is to stop it from forming. The best time to stop it from forming is when the potential congregants are 2 and 3 years old, not when they are 16, 20 and 30 years old. The best weapons against flash mobs are jobs, not police with guns; education, not incarceration; and positive guidance and direction, not threats or curses. Can flash mobs be stopped? Absolutely. Is America working properly to stop them? Absolutely not.
Welcome to the year 2011 where ethics, sociology, economics, criminology, politics and technology cross! The flash mobbers are trying to tell us, “You can’t stop us, but with your help, we can stop ourselves!”

“Flash mobs are not new,” the article says, pointing to incidents in Europe. But we never saw one in America until the age of Obama. Liberaism brought Europe to America, while conservatives did everything they could to try to prevent that cultural nihilism from ariving.
Decent people call it mob looting; liberals call it “the redistribution of wealth.” Decent people call it anarchy and the breakdown of society and civiliation; liberals call it “social justice.”
The hero of liberalism and of the Democrat Party is the black person. But consider:
The most dangerous possible place for a black child to be in America is in his or her mother’s womb. Nearly HALF of all black babies are aborted. The depravity of American blacks since 1973 DWARFS the holocaust that the shocked and horrorfied the world in the genocide that took place in Rwanda.
“Nobility” is defined by the left as killing your own baby.
For liberals, “nobility’ is defined as being a convicted criminal. Nearly 40 percent of young black men are under the control of the criminal justice system. Conversely, as the leftist black leadership puts it, more blacks are in prison than were in slavery in 1850 (as blacks have literally placed THEMSELVES in the chains of bondage).
Nearly seventy percent of blacks are in single parent households, as their culture is collapsing all around them.
And I am constantly lectured that white people are the ones who are immoral. And we’re bad people because 96% of us didn’t vote for Barack Obama the way blacks did.
And I am beyond sick and tired and disgusted with black leaders presiding over a community in total moral depradation calling me a racist when they are people consumed by race and dedicated to the ideology of taking more from other races and giving it to themselves.
You look at the cities that have voted Democrat for a hundred years, and they are ALL in complete collapse and in total despair. And all they can do is turn their rage outward – ignoring the consequence of their own lifestyles and their own voting record – and lash out at “white folks’ greed.”
Having said all that, this isn’t a failing of “the black race”; it is a total failing of the direction that black leaders have taken their community in America. Failed leaders have led their people to failure.
Conservatives predicted that Obama’s “hope and change” policies would lead to food stamps and unemployment. But now we’re seeing that Obama is leading to even more: it is leading to predation and collapse.

As Swedish national, I must point out that the Peace Prize is awarded by the NORWEGIAN Nobel Committee. Although the Swedish media applauded the nomination of Obama, our Nobel Committee would never reward somebody for his presumed future achievements. Weird! (as I believe Americans use to say about things that does not make any sense)

Penumbra,
“Weird” is a pretty good American slang expression to sum it up.
To whatever extent that the Nobel Prize meant anything whatsoever prior to Obama’s award, it means nothing now.
Giving the prize for science to Al Gore was another example of the fact that the Nobel Peace Prize is an award for ideological liberalism and nothing more.
Shame to piss away an award that used to truly mean something.
Glad Swedes haven’t drank the Kool-Aid to the last dreg of the bottle (at least not yet, anyway!).

Michael, there is no doubt that the Nobel Committee often tries to make a political point with the Peace Prize and the one in Literature, of course in the liberalism’s service. You will never see politicians like Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher rewarded in this way. However there are exceptions, like in 1953 when the prize in literature was given to Winston Churchill, probably because of his firm resistance to the Nazis. Sometimes the Nobel Committee gets it right, sometimes very wrong like in the case of Alan Gore and Barack Obama.

Penumbra,
It might be that the Nobel Committee – like everything else – was far more conservative in the 50s than it has since sadly become.
As an example in America, John F. Kennedy was seen as a liberal Democrat in 1960. Yet this man was a hard-core Cold Warrior who was as dedicated to defeating communism as Reagan EVER was, and who was every bit as much of a tax cutter as Reagan was.
Today John F. Kennedy would have been hounded out of the Democrat Party with disgust and contempt. And his vile brother Ted would have been the one throwing the most stones and rotten tomatos at him.
In every nation, moral depravity eventually sinks in, and that nation starts down the road to going the way of the Dodo bird. America was great until the modern Democrat Party poisoned the tree of liberty and freedom.
