Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has had enough—so have I.

Following another shooting in his city Tuesday night, Mayor Nutter called the alleged perpetrator “a dog”, and told the parents of young thugs in the city “not to act like idiots and a—holes.”

Last year Nutter went off after young black roving gangs hospitalized several people, including one man with a fractured skull.

This is yet another example of what black people can do to a community. BOND covered this deteriorating situation in our SPECIAL REPORT: BLACK THUGS GONE WILD, and our UPDATE: BLACK THUGS GONE WILD. 

We will continue to highlight the out-of-control, wanton violence being perpetrated by young black hoodlums, until elected officials, the news media, police department spokesmen and the media start telling the truth, instead of covering up for the criminals.

My nonprofit organization BOND is “Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man”, and black men and families cannot be rebuilt when political correctness prevents an honest discussion of the clear problems in the black community.

Following this most recent shooting, Mayor Nutter had choice words for Philadelphia parents: “Their little butts should have either been in bed, getting ready for bed, or doing some homework,” Nutter added. “Not out in a car, not in some other neighborhood, and not up to this kind of nonsense. I’m not your mom and I’m not your dad. We cannot completely legislate, or by policy, make people responsible for their children.”

I applaud Mayor Nutter, and agree with these comments, except for the last sentence: No, we CAN make people responsible for their children! If your little thug is out cruising the streets late at night and pops a cap into someone’s rear end, guess what, not only is your little thug going to jail, you’re going too. That’ll bring some responsibility back into the black community, if black parents are unwilling to bring back the responsibility voluntarily.

Did your parents teach you to believe in yourself?

The world teaches us that "believing in yourself" is a good thing. It sounds like the self-reliant thing to do! After all, if you don't believe in yourself, you're in real trouble, right?

I asked this question today on my radio show:

Give a listen and let me know how you see it...

I was in Colorado this past weekend to speak at the “Steeling the Mind Bible Conference.” I want to thank the sponsors, Compass Ministry for their hospitality, and for their dedication in assisting the Christian community. I know they really want to help Christians overcome the serious challenges this world presents, and I commend them for that.

After introducing myself, I let the crowd know that I don’t have an Afro, I have an Amerifro! They got a kick out of that.

The first question I asked the audience was, “Do you have anger?” Now mind you this was a Christian audience, lots of well-meaning people who want nothing better than to find peace and happiness in their homes...

In July, my organization released a SPECIAL REPORT: BLACK THUGS GONE WILD, WHITE AMERICANS GONE SILENT! The report details an underreported, simmering racial powder keg in America:

...A long, hot summer is getting hotter. From Miami to Mobile to Charlotte to Atlanta to Baltimore to Chicago, to even Peoria, young black mobs are robbing, assaulting and terrorizing white Americans... And they're getting away with it...

We've been receiving a truckload of positive feedback about our report, as Americans are thankful that someone is facing up to the truth.

Just this week we've released an UPDATED REPORT, which includes a link to the original report, as similar violence is occuring in other areas, including Wisconsin, Iowa, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, and Washington, DC...
