An African-American sheriff from Milwaukee is discussing an aspect that many race-baiters refuse to discuss when it comes to a rise in shootings within the black community.
David Clarke slammed the NAACP after their comments regarding the shooting of a young black male in Oklahoma. The NAACP claims that police have adopted a “shoot first, ask questions later” policy.
Clarke responded by saying the NAACP has not accomplished anything noteworthy for the black community in recent memory, and said they are nothing more than “a political propaganda entity for the left.”
Instead, Clarke explained that the number one factor in shooting incidents becoming more numerous is that too many homes in the community are fatherless.

Clarke, who has become a prominent figure in the gun world, urged the organization to “stay off the police” and lead a more meaningful discussion, namely why these incidents are happening and what can be done to prevent them.
“The number one cause of this is father-absent homes,” Clarke said. “So what are we going to do in terms of having more effective parenting, more role modeling, more engaged fathers in the lives of these young black men so that we don’t have this behavior.”[…]
“When you run from the police, I’ll tell you right now, you’re headed toward a very dark place where things are not going to go well for you,” Clarke added. “That doesn’t mean that you’re automatically going to be shot and you should die. But the fact is, that is one of the most dangerous situations an officer can be involved in.”
Clarke said the loss of Walker’s life was “unfortunate,” but reiterated that the focus needs to be “on the behavior of our young black men, and not the police.”
Do you agree with Sheriff Clarke that violent clashes with the police would be reduced in communities that focus more on family?
In 2004, Black males ages 14–24 constituted
1 percent of the general population;
however, they comprised nearly 15 percent of all victims of homicide
and more than a quarter – 26 percent – of homicide offenders.
Black youth comprise only
16 percent of the adolescent population in the U.S….. they accounted for
50 percent of adolescents arrested for murder,
46 percent of those arrested for violent crimes,

Sheriff Clarke is absolutely correct. But, the Democrats and their social programs are to blame. Since LBJ was POTUS and launched his “Great Society” women have been having more and more babies so they can collect Aid to Dependent Children from the government and get an apartment in public housing. Here is the rub: In order to collect that check and have that apartment there could be NO male role model (Daddy or otherwise) living with the family. If Daddy lived with Mama and helped raise the kids he was also expected to work to support them; ergo – no ADC check for Mama. This government handout to women so they could be stay at home Moms created the Fatherless society in the black community. I know this because I was a police officer in the 1970s in a city with 3 very large public housing projects. It was part of my job to arrest any male staying in an apartment with a woman collecting ADC checks to raise her kids. The charge against the man was Trespassing in Public Housing and the woman who let him stay in her apartment (even for one night) was in danger of losing her ADC check for allowing him to be there.
stop the father dose not pay wants to ship off this to the momys an state to send a check to help take of the kids
