I\u2019m glad you waited, sir.  Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, I just have something to tell you about this Trayvon Martin thing. It\u2019s a tragedy. I understand that. I feel sorry for the family. But I just want to know where is the outrage in the African-American community?  We are&#8230; The crime, black-on-black crime, the teenage pregnancy, the high school dropout, HIV.  I mean, this doesn\u2019t make any sense to me. All this town hall meetings and protesting and stuff about that situation, what about all the other situations that we\u2019re going through?  This is ridiculous. <\/p>\n<p>I just don\u2019t understand what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are doing, all over TV about this, and we are killing each other out here every day.  What about the three men that got shot last night in Atlanta?  The baby that got shot in Stone Mountain during a robbery? What&#8230;? What\u2019s going on?  I mean, this is ridiculous.  It\u2019s just have to say, all African-Americans is not behind Al Sharpton and them.  We\u2019re not, because this doesn\u2019t make any sense.  We are dying out here. We\u2019re killing each other. It\u2019s like a war. It\u2019s like a war zone, and it\u2019s in America, and nobody says anything about it.  This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, people are afraid to, Tony.  They\u2019re afraid to mention it.  You can.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_78876\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushReestablishConserveCongrssDittoheadNation.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I mean, when I was coming up, when I was a child, you wanted to be a police officer, a fireman, a teacher.  Now you want to be a rapper, a basketball player, a drug dealer! I mean, this is craziness.  I mean, I\u2019m educated, and I have a family. I\u2019m a family man, I\u2019m married, I have kids, and I\u2019m seen as a Uncle Tom and a sellout.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019m gonna ask you something. I\u2019m gonna go back, but you ask a really good question.  You acknowledge that there\u2019s a lot of anger over the Zimmerman-Martin verdict. Are you angry&#8230;? Is the anger at the verdict or is the anger at Zimmerman for what he did?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  This is my anger.  I feel bad for both of \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, well &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I do think he was wrong for getting out of the car and doing what he did, but at the same time, we can\u2019t do anything about this. The jury has spoken.  We\u2019re not understanding that all of this anger and stuff is just making us look bad.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s my question.  You asked a really, really, really good question.  You acknowledge that there\u2019s anger over the Trayvon Martin\/George Zimmerman thing. But I\u2019m gonna turn it back and I want to ask you the question: Why isn\u2019t there anger over all of the&#8230;? In Chicago alone, the murders there mostly are black-on-black.  You cited the incident happened at Stone Mountain.  Why isn\u2019t there anger about that? Not just with Jackson and Sharpton, but why isn\u2019t there anger throughout the black population over that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019m gonna tell you why.  Because it has become as though it happens every day; they\u2019re just used to it.  This is the normal way of living.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, that\u2019s just unacceptable!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I know it\u2019s unacceptable, but if you keep saying or keep doing the same thing, it\u2019s just like a lie. If you keep telling somebody a lie, eventually they\u2019ll believe it.  And that\u2019s the same thing that\u2019s going on in the African-American community.  It\u2019s so much murder, so much killing, so much disease. I mean, it\u2019s just ridiculous. Yet, this is normal.  So when people try and get out of it situation like I did&#8230; I\u2019m a college graduate. I got a good job. I live in a nice community, my kids are good kids, good grades. But African-Americans, to them, I\u2019m a sell out. I\u2019m a Uncle Tom. I mean, I can\u2019t be positive to a lot of them because that\u2019s what they see me as. But if I was a rapper?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_78898\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushConstitution5.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, I don\u2019t understand it, either, and it\u2019s really frustrating.  I have some black conservative friends and they get the same treatment, and it is really maddening.  But, you know, I was thinking about it. There\u2019s a lot of white-on-white crime, too.  It makes&#8230; (sigh) Uh, how to say it? I get mad at all of it.  There\u2019s no white-on-white crime that I say, &#8220;Well, you know, it\u2019s two white guys. I don\u2019t care. Fine.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s never my reaction. I don\u2019t know anybody with an attitude like that, unless it happens in a prison. But, I mean, in the normal course of events, it angers everybody all the time, particularly if it needn\u2019t have happened, if it could have been stopped or what have you.  But at no time does anybody look at it and say, &#8220;Oh, well it\u2019s just the way it is,&#8221; or what have you.&#8221;  You\u2019ve asked such a great question that nothing can answer, I don\u2019t think.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I want to know, &#8220;Where\u2019s the outrage?&#8221; Where? I mean, this doesn\u2019t make any sense to me.  I mean, I listened to the radio the other day. The deejay was talking about Trayvon Martin, &#8220;This is a tragedy! We need to stop this,&#8221; and then the next song he played was a Lil\u2019 Wayne rap song.  What? This is craziness.  Here you talking about murder and killing children &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, see, that\u2019s another brilliant point.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; and now you\u2019re playing a song about murder and my guns, and I just don\u00c2\u2019t understand. How can you be so outraged about him being killed, but then you\u2019re playing a song with a guy talking about having guns!  This is craziness!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I can\u2019t add anything to that. That is exactly what so many people don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  They\u2019re not taking \u2019em serious.  How can you be on the radio?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, people are told, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s a cultural thing and you just don\u2019t understand it.&#8221; We\u2019re told that rap music is rooted in cultural reality &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s not!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; and it\u2019s a way of relieving a bunch of pent-up tension, stress, and so forth. It\u2019s not something that just everybody can understand.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  You know, in Atlanta the deejays are all having town hall meetings this weekend, but listen to the music that they\u2019re gonna play after the town hall meetings!  How can somebody take you serious when you\u2019re talking about this but then the music you\u2019re playing is not adding up with what they\u2019re saying? You\u2019re a joke.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I hear you.  Believe me, I hear you loud and clear, and I\u2019m really glad you called.  Tony, thank you very much.  I have to go because of time constraints.  But it\u2019s been great having you here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Okay, Tony in Atlanta. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir.
