This particular suburb was separated from Chicago proper, and had been a quiet and safe place. Then the people from downtown had been brought in. (More correctly, I guess, encouraged to come, but the effect was the same.) What happened, the cop told me, was that an urban family would show up from the projects with five kids, three of them gangbangers. The bangers would invite their friends from the city to come live with them. They’d put sleeping bags on the floor.
Drugs immediately appeared in larger quantities — drugs are already everywhere — and crime increased and murder began. In Chicago, gangs are industrial strength: the Vice Lords, Latin Kings, Black Gangster Disciples, dozens of others. Not good.
The Talking-Heads Chorale will see the riots, are seeing the riots, not as an intensification of the undeclared racial war, but as a protest against racist police or the racism of whites. Oh, quite. Never mind that Ballmer’s black government sets standards for the hiring, training, and behavior of its police, and half of the accused cops are black. But the conduct of their police cannot be the fault of blacks, because nothing is.
Where does this lead? The Chorale will speak in unison, with the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of a migraine, of White Privilege, Jim Crow, racism, institutional racism, White Supremacy, and so on. (Funny: I do not think I have ever met a White Supremacist. I have met a very great many white people who want to be allowed to live where they want with whom they want, among people who share their values and do not engage in crime, looting, arson, and the Knockout Game.)
This is not an ideal solution, there being no ideal solution. It is obvious that blacks, or at least the urban underclass, cannot on average support themselves in a modern technological civilization. We are not supposed to say this but, I suspect, most of us know it. Fine. Keep the welfare flowing. Regard it as equivalent to a golf handicap. (The other day I saw that some city is going to make both breakfast and lunch free in schools. This is better than letting go hungry. It is also a step toward an undisguised custodial state.) But if the riots go on, and spread more widely as they seem likely to do, and the attacks on whites continue, the danger is that one day whites will shoot back. The country would never recover.
