Bandidos vs Cosacks

On numerous occasions you will observe Mad Man referencing a book written by the late, great sports writer, Ralph Wiley. The title of his book is "Why Black People Shout!" Mr. Wiley's reference was that Black people were always shouting about their subtle and not so subtle mistreatment in America.

The recent shootout in Waco, Texas between the two motorcycle gangs, the Bandidos and the Cossacks, which left 9 people dead and numerous wounded, is yet another indication of how gun violence is teetering on the edge of an epidemic in this country.
Due to this melee there were 170 people arrested with bail bonds totaling $ 170 million dollars.

What transpired in Waco should be alarming and a precursor to the forthcoming events when crazy old white men feel that it is time to take back their country. These types of idiots not only occupy our government, but are openly engaging in gun warfare in our society and nothing is being done to stop them through the legislative process. Why else do you think that there is no movement on gun control in this country?

Mad Man became an observer of these issues and happenings because of a directive he received from his grandfather and simply put, it said; "to maintain happiness, one must stay out of people's way." You don't want to get in the way of these types of gun toting killers because if they will kill over a parking spot, they will easily kill you because of the color of your skin, your religious beliefs, or your sexual orientation.

But, what has Black people shouting the loudest, is the fact that while these very hostile, old, and  heavily armed white men are shooting up an entire community the police tiptoed in like the dancers in Swan Lake.

Where were the armored cars, the assault rifles, the military attack gear, the smoke bombs, and all of the other militaristic hardware that the police used on the non-violent protestors in Ferguson and Baltimore? Could it be that there is a difference in the handling of Black protestors versus white gun toting motorcycle gang members who are actually killing people?

Whatever the reason, our white politicians will continue to do nothing and since we're talking about Texas, our Black politicians will continue to be as worthless as tits on a bull. There is no real legislative solution in sight except that President Obama is trying to stop these police forces from obtaining the military type warfare machines that they use on Black people but not whites.

And it continues in harmony since slavery, that Black people will continue to shout!
