Black sheriff: Most black problems ‘self-inflicted’

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke went on national television and told Fox News host Sean Hannity most of the problems in the black community, of which he’s part, are “self-inflicted,” a statistical fact liberals are only too anxious to ignore.

“It’s the elephant in the room,” he said, Breitbart reported. “Especially the liberal mainstream media does not want to acknowledge, because it doesn’t fit their false narrative about what’s going on in the American ghetto.”

In “Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America,” Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson – a true black leader whom many affectionately call “the other Jesse” – shows how the civil rights establishment has made a lucrative career out of keeping racial strife alive in America.

Clarke went on: “Seventy-five percent of the problems of the black community are self-inflicted. Things like father-absent homes, things like drug and alcohol abuse, school failure, failure to stay in the workforce”

And the remaining 25 percent?

“[Those problems] are inflicted by the Democrat Party with their modern liberalism,” Clarke said, on Fox News. “Which is conduct without borders, okay? They reward underachievement. They make excuses for criminal behavior, like black-on-black crime. And they blame everybody else for the problems that go on within our community.”

Clarke also said most people living “in the American ghetto are good, law-abiding people.”
But he warned their voices were being silenced. And that’s leaving the door open for “blowhards” to grab the podium.

“We have to hear from the blowhards and they’re only – they’re a one trick pony,” he said. “All they can say is ‘racism.'”
