Black Pastor Aubrey Shines: If Obama Had a Son, He’d Look a Lot Like the Knockout Thugs

Pastor Aubrey Shines hails from Chicago, much like our Fearless Leader,  Barack Obama. But that’s where the resemblance ends. aubrey_shines2Unlike Obama, Pastor  Shines  has had the courage to point fingers in the deadly trend of “knockout” that is  causing injuries and death across the country. In an opinion piece,  published on The Blaze, Shines wrote:

“The more the media reports these attacks a few things become clear. First,  the perpetrators are young black men. Second, the victims are white and most  often Jewish. Because the victims are white, the game is also referred to as polar  bear hunting. Third, there has been radio silence from black national  leaders condemning the acts. Al Sharpton finally condemned the game at one of  his weekly National Action Network meetings. But the outrage pales in  comparison  to the outrage that Sharpton and his fellow Race Warriors are able  to muster  when it benefits them financially and politically.”

Yep, you read that right. A black man is pointing  out what the white mainstream media is failing to explain.  Knockout is a  racially motivated hate crime, but since it is black on white, everyone is  dancing around the subject.

When researching these shootings, race is never mentioned.    In the  alternative media, much of our information comes from mainstream reports.   Unless a photo is published of perpetrator and victim, we are generally unable  to find out the races of the people involved. Why?

Because it’s politically incorrect to make members of minorities look like  criminals, even when they are.

According to Shines’ essay, statistics show that race is a definite factor,  whether it’s polite to mention it or not.

“You can be sure if those doing the knocking out were white and the victims  were black, Sharpton and the Race Warriors would be demanding 24-hour news  coverage. The truth is that while the knockout game is a rather new phenomenon,  the problem of black-on-white crime is not. Statistics  from all credible sources reveal that whites are the victims of crimes  committed  by blacks far more frequently than the reverse.”

The worst culprit of all, according to Shines, is President Obama, who famously said, “You know, if I had a son, he’d look  like Trayvon.”

“As much as I would love to hear strong reproaches from these black leaders,  the most deafening silence comes from President Barack Obama. Some people have  argued that Obama should not weigh in on these issues of race because a white  president would not. But Barack Obama is not a white president and we all would  be wise to stop pretending that his race does not matter…’

“…The President has weighed in on issues of race that had far less global  consequences in the past. Remember the beer  summit with Black Professor Henry Louis Gates and James Crowley, the white  police sergeant who arrested him as he entered his own home? Remember the  recent  response to a reporter’s question where President Obama said if he were  the  owner, he would change the name fromRedskins?  Remember after the Trayvon Martin verdict, President Obama reminded us that if  he had a son, he would probably look like Trayvon?’

“When he speaks out, other black leaders will  join the chorus and speak out. For that reason alone, President Obama must use  his influence to create a ground swell against the immoral foolishness that  comes with sucker punching a perfect stranger for sport.  If he doesn’t speak  out, Black America will be the ones that are sucker punched in the end.”

Shines is correct – black leaders have been resoundingly silent on this  matter.  Meanwhile, the criminals are getting younger and younger, and the attacks  more brutal.

If this trend was reversed and white kids were punching out elderly black  ladies, can you even imagine the hue and cry?  The shouts of “hate crime”?  The  blistering essays on liberal news outlets?  No one would say you were a racist  for tweeting that a bunch of white thugs beat up an old man with a walker, but  in this incidence, we’re supposed to ignore the race of the criminals and the  victims. This is every bit as racist as a group of ignorant hillbillies in  pointy white hats with a load of gasoline-doused crosses in the back of their  pick-up, but we aren’t supposed to make that comparison.

I’m sure that the black leaders feel the same embarrassment that I feel when  some white  redneck yahoo goes and burns a cross in some decent family’s front  yard because of the color of their skin. They probably feel the same cringe of  discomfort that I feel when I overhear some bigoted idiot refer to people of  other races by derogatory slurs.  They most likely want to dissociate  themselves  from people who behave like uncivilized, sociopathic animals who  hate and harm  based on race, just like I want nothing to do with people like  that.

But when you’re in a position of leadership and influence, you don’t get the  luxury of turning a blind eye.  Not if you’re truly a leader.  By saying  nothing  and not denouncing it, you’re accepting this behavior.  By silently  accepting  it, you’re saying – “This is acceptable.  It is acceptable to punch  someone as  hard as you can, all in the name of fun, just because they’re  white.”

Pastor Shines stands out as a real leader.  He is calling out these  criminals, and he is calling out these people who are failing to use their  influence. He is using his own platform to bring awareness to this situation,  and he’s embarrassing a lot of “important” people in the process.

Personally, I have nothing but scorn for the lack of courage shown by these  black “leaders” who seem to be blithely oblivious of what these young people  are  doing.

Way to go,  Obama, Sharpton, and Jackson. With your silence, you are just as  guilty of the next assault as those participating in the “game”.
