The Race to Hell
I’m not sure what the “race” stats are for homicide each year by cops or common citizens. Out of a nation of 350 million, it’s likely a very small number regardless of which “race” is involved.
With that in mind, imagine if, every time a black person murders a white person it becomes a major news event marked by non-stop coverage and outrage. Imagine people marching in the streets and less-sincere protestors destroying property and making demands.
This circumstance is not likely to happen — obviously.
I don’t conjure this hypothetical as an excuse for justifying white on black crime or to minimize genuine cases of racism or the legacy of injustice that has occurred toward marginalized groups in the U.S. (or every country for that matter).
I note this because society is being turned upside down and unwarranted animosity is being stoked by players that have little genuine concern for aggrieved parties or honest appraisal.
The news media and its favored groups in leftist faux-rebellion have deliberately skewed attention from reality for their own personal ideological objectives.
Virtually anyone who has seen the video of George Floyd’s treatment at the hands of a rogue cop can call it for what it is — murder. Which is why the cop is currently being held to be tried for....murder.
Likewise, people can view the less conclusive video footage of Rayshard Brooks’s attempted arrest (a video that some outlets have selectively edited). There have certainly been more than a few photos of the deceased, shown smiling with his children (why not mug shots of previous arrests?).
Today, there are numerous groups whose only end goal is the destruction of the United States. If they can burn down some small businesses on their path to a complete takedown of American civilization, all the more fun for them.
There are forces in America today that, in spite of their talking points about race and slavery, would gladly enslave all citizens equally. Those who hope to become new “masters” of our time are motivated by envy, rage, and a desire to dominate and control — in revolutionary turmoil, the pathological elements always float to the surface. It’s no coincidence that so many in Antifa and the public outrage brigade are...white. These catalysts to destruction are an archetypal force. They used to use “class” as their excuse for seizing power. Now it so happens that “race” has become a convenient excuse.
Regardless if where media’s cameras choose to focus...It’s not about race.
