A clear as black & white
July 15th, 2010
The idiot socialist mayor of Toronto tells us that “diversity is our strength”. I live in Little Jamaica, so I’m not so sure I agree with him, but whatever. This post isn’t about the stabbings and shootings that take place within meters of my apartment - it’s about the differences between the black and white communities in the city.
In Toronto’s black community, crime is a daily occurrence. Whether it’s a drive by at a community “non-violence” barbecue, or a shooting in a parking lot on Canada Day, or a stabbing down the block from me, witnesses are reluctant to come forward. Two hundred people can witness a crime, but because the assailant and witnesses were all black, the witnesses will shut their mouths and plead blindness. Shooting? What shooting?
Let’s compare that attitude to an equally marginalized community - the homeless. The white homeless. On Monday there was a rape in an east end cemetery. A 61 year old woman, visiting her mother’s grave, was dragged of the path, beaten and raped. She is still in hospital. Her assailant was white, and the old biddy put up quite a fight, scratching up his face. Once her attacker’s description was released, it was less than a week before he was picked up. In fact, it was his so-called friends who lived with him in a local homeless shelter who turned him in.
In Toronto, our black communities are always bleating about crimes committed, but rarely do anything to turn the tides. This conspiracy of silence in the face of gang activity - while understandable - is one of the main problems. Us crackers have no issue with turning our own in if they hurt someone. Does that make us untrustworthy? Maybe. But at least it means our communities have less violent crimes, because we’re not willing to tolerate it.
The police can only do so much to stem the tide of violent crime if the most affected communities refuse to break their ghetto code of silence. Blame whitey all you want, but we take care of our own.
