HOW MANY ILLEGALS WORK AT WALMART FOR CHEAP?
Walmart Pledges $100 Million to Fight ‘Systemic Racism’
2:42
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon on Friday condemned “racial violence” and pledged $100 million to “address systematic racism in society head-on and accelerate change.”
In an email sent to employees, McMillon embraced the worldview of the radical left and pledge to fund its goals.
“The global health crisis has tested all of us in recent months, and the racial violence in the U.S. — in particular, the murder of George Floyd — is tragic, painful and unacceptable,” McMillon wrote in the email.
Like many companies that have recently adopted the view that America is plagued by systemic racism, Walmart is not aiming only to change itself. It has moved on to the second stage of woke corporatism, which involves attempting to reform the world according to the leftwing agenda.
From McMillon’s letter:
To influence and lead change in society more broadly, we are going to invest resources and develop strategies to increase fairness, equity and justice in aspects of everyday life. We will find the natural overlaps between Walmart’s core business and society’s larger needs that perpetuate racism and discrimination. Specifically, we’re going to focus the power of Walmart on our nation’s financial, healthcare, education and criminal justice systems.In addition to leveraging our business to drive these outcomes, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are committing $100 million over five years through a new center on racial equity. The goal of the center will be to address systematic racism in society head-on and accelerate change. Through the $100 million commitment, the center will support philanthropic initiatives that align with the four key areas noted above. The center will seek to advance economic opportunity and healthier living, including issues surrounding the social determinants of health, strengthening workforce development and related educational systems, and support criminal justice reform with an emphasis on examining barriers to opportunity faced by those exiting the system.
Employees of Walmart were instructed that they must not only comply with Walmart’s internal and external changes but must believe in them “authentically and more deeply.”
“As an associate at Walmart, you are expected to truly, authentically and more deeply embrace inclusion,” McMillon said. “We must work together to actively shape the culture to be more inclusive and not just accept our differences but celebrate them – all the time – within every team.”
The email made no mention of the violence seen in cities across America or the victims of riots and looting.
Black Christians should protest the Democrat party's anti-Christian agenda which has led to the moral decay of the black community; fatherless households, gangs, crime, generational poverty, incarceration, and record-high black on black homicides.
Barack Obama’s race hustling criminal coddling set the more recent tone where state and local law-enforcement officers were routinely attacked, accused of serial hate-inspired killings of suspects; where civilized norms were declared the illicit fruit of white privilege; where the epidemic of black-on-black homicides was either ignored or blamed on unresolved racial grievances.
This
mindset not only ignores the blacks who do just fine without these would-be
masters, it parades the helped group as mascots to be forever reminded that
their lives are only possible due to the tireless effort of their white
benefactors. It is an overlay of weapons-grade condescension atop the stench of
rank bigotry. Because what else can it be but bigotry when the pathological
altruist essentially says “you’re nothing without me” to the minority
individual while claiming “they’re as good as anyone else” to the rest of us.

The
Truth about Interracial Violent Crime
During those years, white killers nationwide
chose to target white victims approximately
93 percent of the time, and black victims 7
percent of the time. Meanwhile, black killers
targeted black victims 84.7 percent of the
time, and white victims 15.3 percent of the
time.
But violence in America crosses racial lines much more frequently when the crimes in question are rape, robbery, and assault. In 2012 and 2013, for instance, blacks in the U.S. committed an annual average of 560,600 violent crimes (excluding homicide) against whites, while whites committed a yearly average of 99,403 violent crimes against blacks. In other words, blacks were the attackers in about 85 percent of all violent crimes involving blacks and whites, while whites were the attackers in 15 percent.[1]
Those broad figures, however, do not even begin to tell the full story about interracial crime. To get a complete picture, we must also look at crime statistics from the perspective of the offender. That is, when a given violent offender chooses a victim to target for a crime, does he tend to target a victim who is a fellow member of his own racial group, or does he tend to go after a victim from another racial group? Here are the facts:

dark-complexioned stout black woman, become one of the wealthiest and most
influential persons on the planet? The myth of America's racism is evil, destructive,

The Black and White of 'Systemic
Racism'
If you’re going to
champion a cause, have the good grace or basic intelligence to push one that is
not so easily undermined by reality... like “systemic racism.” At last check, we’re
more than 50 years removed from “colored-only” anything; television commercials
would have us believe that inter-racial couples are the rule today; and,
diversity/inclusion is a lucrative industry and that’s on top of affirmative
action. In short, there has never been a better time to be black in America.
Until a few months ago, there was never a better time to be black and employed
in America.
Then came the death of
George Floyd, which was universally condemned. That point cannot be repeated
often enough. No one supported the officer whose name won’t be mentioned here.
In the ensuing outcry over Floyd’s death, however, many more black men were
killed, by the people doing the protesting. These further black deaths
have largely gone ignored because they cannot be squared with claim of systemic
racism -- they cannot be rationalized at all. Forget the concept of “all lives matter;”
it’s apparent that not even all black lives matter. Unless a
cop is involved and facts don’t matter then, either.
Not only is ‘systemic
racism’ grossly inaccurate, so is the claim that law enforcement officers seek
out and target black citizens. No one told Tony Timpa that being white
carried special privileges when he encountered cops. Or Daniel Shaver. In fact, the Shaver
case was so egregious even the Atlantic couldn’t ignore it
and to publication’s credit, it also noticed the elephant in the living room:
“The case hasn’t
attracted the higher degree of attention from the press, the public, or
policing-reform activists, partly because…. the cop and the dead man were both
white, rendering the killing less controversial than one possibly animated by
racism.”
Less controversial... A
cute euphemism for “not politically expedient.’ As for the underlying claim of
disparate treatment of minorities by law enforcement, a study from Michigan State published last year
reports that the mythology of racist cops does not match the reality. It
doesn’t even come close. If anything, black citizens are more likely to be shot
by cops who are black, and if there is a causal link, it’s the volume of
violent crime that occurs in any jurisdiction. Simply put, more crime usually
equals more shootings. And yet, the talking point of ‘systemic racism’ has
taken hold like a prairie fire that refuses to be doused by any volume of
contrary facts or evidence.
At the same time, a
combination of self-flagellation and self-congratulations is emanating from
white leftists eager to atone, or give the appearance of atoning, for their
lack of melanin while also getting their woke on, as if there is a contest to
see who can preen the loudest. It’s what a friend of mine terms “pathological
altruism,” the paternalistic conceit of the left that is built on the belief
that black people can only advance and succeed when guided by the benevolent
hand of progressive America.
For an ever-so-brief
moment, there was something on which we all agreed: the cops in
Minneapolis were in the wrong. Unity, of course, is offensive to many in the
political and pundit class, so the cohesion had to be ripped asunder and few
things create division as effectively as race. Was that even a factor here?
Maybe, but given the number of complaints against this officer, it is plausible
that color doesn’t even register with him, that he is a sociopath with a badge
and gun, and woe unto the person who falls within his crosshairs. Which speaks
to an actual problem, that of far too many law enforcement agencies protecting
officers who do not deserve it.
For several years now,
the Washington Post has kept a running database of fatal force
incidents involving lawmen and civilians. The numbers are available in literal
black and white for any interested party to peruse. About half of the people
shot and killed are white, but the proportion of blacks relative to total
population is higher.
There are two other
factors that are often sidestepped: the incidents that generate publicity
tend to occur in blue cities where unfettered Democrat rule has been the norm
for decades. Secondly, when the elected class passes one law after another,
someone has to enforce the rules. In 2016, after five of his officers were killed
as Black Lives Matter was announcing its presence, the Dallas police chief noted that societal
failures from bad schools to single-parent homes to inadequate mental health
are dumped in the laps of cops. When the number of interactions between cops and
citizens increases, and in tense situations, the odds of an interaction ending
badly also rises. Yet, the same people behind the laws, the policies, and the
increased contact keep being re-elected.
The reality is that there
are genuine issues to address: too many laws, one-party rule that kills
any incentive for change among the political class, and the blue wall that
instantly surrounds any cop found in a tight spot. We all understand the
presumption of innocence, but that depends on the evidence at hand and too
often, it appears rogue cops go unpunished. Each of these factors
is color-blind, which may be the ultimate problem. It hints at a unity of
purpose among different people, and there are too many whose power rests in
perpetuating division.

The
Truth about Interracial Violent Crime
Debunking the Left's pernicious
lies.
Thu Jun 4, 2020
Prior to
the May 25th death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, a major focus of the media
during the preceding two weeks had been a video showing an incident where a
young black man named Ahmaud Arbery was fatally shot by
two white men in Glynn County, Georgia. The killers say that they pursued
Arbery, whom they suspected of having been involved in some recent local
burglaries, when they spotted him running through their neighborhood – though
some accounts claim that he was merely out for a jog. Eventually a fight broke
out, and Arbery was shot and killed. After a video of the deadly altercation
went public in early May, there were massive protests in
Arbery's behalf. On May 8 – which would have been Arbery's 26th birthday –
activist Al Sharpton used the Internet to lead a “virtual
rally” in the young man's memory, drawing some 105,000 participants.
In an interview four days later, Sharpton, exhorting members of the black
community to “sustain” their “indignation” vis-a-vis the Arbery case for as
long as possible, portrayed the Georgia killing as an extension of racist
American violence dating back to the epoch of slavery: “It was expected that if
you saw a black, that you would suspect that he was a runaway slave, and you
had the runaway slave laws that … they would use that to hunt down blacks for
vigilante groups, the KKK and others, all the way up until the modern era.”
Television personality Oprah Winfrey likewise characterized Arbery's death as a consequence of intransigent white racism: “He went out for a jog while being Black. I wonder what was he thinking in those last seconds of his life? Unimaginable to go for a run in 2020 and end up dead because of the color of your skin.”
Notably, there is no record of either Sharpton or Winfrey uttering even a single public word in memory of 34-year-old Zackary Randalls, 37-year-old Mark Gassett, or 58-year-old David Jackson. You've never heard of these individuals, of course, because they were merely three white men who were murdered three years ago in Fresno, California by Kori Ali Muhammad, a black racist who candidly sought “to kill as many white males as possible” – killings for which the perpetrator was convicted just six weeks ago. Regarding the Zackary Randalls murder, Mr. Muhammad has since explained: “When I walked up to the truck, I saw a Mexican driver and a white guy. I didn’t want to target the driver because he was Mexican, so I shot the white dude.” The media, for some mysterious reason, didn't find the story compelling enough to cover.
Neither is there any record of Sharpton or Winfrey lamenting the deaths of 86-year-old Paul Marino and his 85-year-old wife, Lidia, both of whom were murdered in cold blood by a black gunman on May 8 – the very day of Sharpton's “virtual rally” in honor of Ahmaud Arbery – while they visited the gravesite of their late son, Anthony, in a Delaware cemetery. To borrow Oprah's pithy maxim, we might say that Mr. and Mrs. Marino were just “visiting their son's grave while being white.”
Other victims whose recent murders were ignored by media outlets and camera hogs like Sharpton and Winfrey include:

Other victims whose recent murders were ignored by media outlets and camera hogs like Sharpton and Winfrey include:
· Joyce Whaley, Patricia Nibbe, and Nettie Spencer – three middle-aged white women who
were brutally stabbed to death by a black killer at a Tennessee truck stop in early April;
· Heather Perry, a 21-year-old white woman who was shot to death in a
Denver alleyway on May 9 by Cornelius Haney, a convicted armed robber who had
just been released from prison in order to protect him from contracting the
coronavirus;
· Logan Allen Stacks, a 17-year-old white boy who was gunned down by two black teens on
March 27 in Lancaster County, South Carolina;
· Dr. Beth Potter, a 52-year-old white physician who dedicated her
career to helping “underserved communities,” and her husband, educational
consultant Robin Carre, who were shot execution-style by a pair
of black teens on March 30 in Madison, Wisconsin; and
· Kristopher Dacus, a 33-year-old white man who on February 26 was
shot multiple times and killed by four black teens in the
North Little Rock, Arkansas cemetery where he worked.
Let us assume for a moment that Ahmaud Arbery – who quite
obviously was a volatile and
menacing character with a criminal history – was in fact the innocent victim of a horrific, wholly
unjustifiable murder. Even if that were the case, why should his death garner
more attention from American media outlets and civil rights activists, than,
say, the deaths of the 13 aforementioned whites whose lives were mercilessly
snuffed out by black killers in 6 different states? Perhaps a case could be
made in favor of such a double standard if white-on-black killings were
commonplace in American society – on the theory that the condemnation of such
occurrences might help raise people's collective consciousness about the deadly
ramifications of white racism. But in fact, white-on-black homicides in the
U.S. have been exceedingly rare for many decades.
Conventional “wisdom” maintains that violent crime tends largely to be an intra-racial affair, where whites target mostly whites, and blacks target mostly blacks. This is certainly true for homicide, but much less true for other crimes of violence such as assault, rape, and robbery.
Let us look first at homicides that involved whites and blacks during 2012 and 2013.

In other words, blacks were the attackers in about 85 percent of all violent crimes involving blacks and whites, while whites were the attackers in 15 percent.[1]
Those broad figures, however, do not even begin to tell the full story about interracial crime. To get a complete picture, we must also look at crime statistics from the perspective of the offender. That is, when a given violent offender chooses a victim to target for a crime, does he tend to target a victim who is a fellow member of his own racial group, or does he tend to go after a victim from another racial group? Here are the facts:
· When white
offenders committed crimes of violence (excluding homicide) against either
whites or blacks in 2012-13, they targeted white victims 95.8 percent of the
time, and they went after black victims a mere 4.1 percent of the time.
· By
contrast, when black offenders committed crimes of violence against either
whites or blacks in 2012-13, they targeted white victims a whopping 48.5
percent of the time, and they went after black victims 51.4 percent of the
time.[2]
If we
factor into the equation the relative sizes of America's white and black
populations, we find that, statistically, any given
black person in 2012-13 was about 27 times more likely to attack a white, than
vice versa.
In more recent years, the disproportionate prevalence of black-on-white crime has only gotten worse. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2018 there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between blacks and whites in the United States. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90.4 percent, while whites committed 56,394 of them, or about 9.5 percent. Moreover:

when black offenders committed crimes of violence against either whites or
blacks during that same year, they targeted white victims 58 percent of the
time, and they went after black victims 42 percent of the time.[3]
City
Journal also reports that
according to Justice Department data, blacks in 2018 were overrepresented among
the perpetrators of offenses classified as “hate crimes” by a whopping 50
percent—while whites were underrepresented by 24 percent.
These
numbers are staggering.
If America were teeming with white racism, those guilty of interracial crime
would be disproportionately white. But instead, the exact opposite is
the case. Thus, the enormous amount of attention given to white-on-black
attacks – which are statistically rare in the United States – is an obscene and
senseless absurdity. The notion of ubiquitous white racism manifesting itself
in unacceptably high levels of white violence against blacks, is one of the
most destructive and monstrously evil lies of our time, creating levels of
racial mistrust and animosity that are wholly unwarranted.

This Black American Deems Floyd Protests Unnecessary
As a black
American, Democrats and fake news media demand that I agree with the George
Floyd protests. I say the protests are unnecessary and are totally politically motivated.
The American people of all races including President Trump have expressed their
outrage over the wrongful death of Mr. Floyd. The officer who killed Mr. Floyd
has been charged with murder. The three officers who watched the abuse have
been fired and investigated. So, where's the beef? Why
are opportunists looting stores, burning businesses, and beating up whites in
the name of demanding justice? Who is opposing justice for Mr. Floyd? The
answer is no one.
Therefore,
what is the real purpose of the riots, hate, violence, and chaos in our
streets? The answer is politics. Democrats and fake news media believe by
generating racial hate, they can ensure that blacks will vote against Trump in November.
Like a
magician uses misdirection, Democrats and fake news media hope to focus blacks'
attention away from the fact that blacks have experienced unprecedented
prosperity and record low unemployment since Trump has been in the Oval
Office.
Leftist
political hacks say the killing of George Floyd reflects America's systemic
racism, a country dominated by white supremacists. They say America was founded
by racist white men for racist white men. Folks, such bogus and divisive
rhetoric is nothing more than leftist intellectual-sounding gobbledygook. There
are not enough white supremacists in America to elect anyone to any public
office.
In the
real-world America, blacks are not suffering persecution. I realize saying that
will get me in trouble, but it is true. America is the greatest land of
opportunity on the planet for all who choose to pursue their dreams. The
perverted thinking of leftists has to make everyone a victim of someone or
something. Democrats and fake news media brand blacks who do not harbor
resentment for whites and America traitors to their race.
Blacks are
only 13% of the population. White America gifted its first black
president two terms. And yet, far too many blacks absurdly believe Democrats'
and fake news media’s lie that white America did not want a black man in the
White House. If America is such a hellhole of racism, how did Oprah
Winfrey, a dark-complexioned stout black woman, become one of the wealthiest
and most influential persons on the planet? The myth of America's racism is
evil, destructive, and must end.
Racism
along with every other sin will exist until Jesus returns. However, there is not
enough racism in America to stop anyone. This is why it is so offensive hearing
wealthy black celebs filling young black minds with the lie that white America
has stacked-the-deck against them. I wish blacks would ignore such crap and
simply pursue their dreams.
Despite
countless glaring examples of blacks thriving in America, Democrats and fake
news media relentlessly sell the lie that blacks can't catch a break in this
horrible country. This is why they persecute successful blacks who love their
country and do not view themselves as victims.
Democrat
presidential candidate Joe Biden said, “If you don't vote for me, you ain't
black.” Biden has also absurdly said, “Republicans want to put y'all back in
chains.” Biden insultingly views blacks as brain-dead idiots eager to stay on
Democrats' government dependency plantation.
In 2020
America, the tired old battered, tattered, and torn race card has been begging
to retire for several years. Democrats refuse to retire it because they believe
playing it wins them emotional, mindless black votes, trumping logic, facts,
and commonsense.
All of the
people who are protesting because cops routinely murder blacks and because
America is racist are responding to lies. Cops do not murder blacks so much as blacks
murder blacks. America is not racist. Why do you think people risk
everything to get here? Trump is building a wall to keep illegals out, not to
keep people in. We are extremely blessed to be Americans living in America.
Americans
should be angry and protest about failing schools controlled by Democrats.
Students graduate who cannot read their diploma. People should be angry and
protest Planned Parenthood's black genocide. Why are 36%
of America's aborted babies black?
Black Christians should protest
the Democrat party's anti-Christian agenda which has led to the moral decay of
the black community; fatherless households, gangs, crime, generational poverty,
incarceration, and record-high black on black homicides.
I refuse to pander to Democrats'
and fake news medias' lie that protests against cops, white supremacy, and
America are necessary. America is the greatest land of opportunity on the
planet for all who choose to pursue their dreams. This truth should be
repeatedly shouted from the rooftops.
God instructed Pharaoh, “Let my
people go.”
God instructs us, “Let my people know.” Spread truth.
God instructs us, “Let my people know.” Spread truth.

cities aflame after the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis

own the consequences of their devastating policies, starting with Lyndon

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, who finally had Chauvin arrested on
Friday. And it was current Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar, the former county
attorney, who failed
to prosecute Chauvin for misdeeds in the past.
Democrats collectively run a state that has one of the widest racial
disparities in the country in terms of
education and income.”
“In a magnificent monologue on his television show, Tucker Carlson peeled back
the headlines to expose the festering reality that has brought us to this pass.
“The ideologues will tell you,” he noted,
“that the problem is race relations, or capitalism, or police brutality, or
global warming. But only on the surface. The real cause is deeper than
that and it’s far darker. What you’re watching is the ancient battle
between those who have a stake in society, and would like to preserve it, and
those who don’t, and seek to destroy it.” That’s exactly right.
“Writing in the dark days of 1939, Evelyn
Waugh noted that “barbarism is never finally defeated; given propitious
circumstances, men and women who seem quite orderly will commit every
conceivable atrocity.”
“Many if not most of the violent hooligans
defacing our cities today are young beneficiaries of the richest and most
generous society the world has ever seen. At school, they were taught to
despise their country as racist, sexist, colonialist, and exploitative,
attitudes that were reinforced in college and from the megaphones of the media,
Hollywood, and our elite universities. How thin is the line between
civilization and violent anarchy!”
It was the Dems who created multi-generational wards of the
state, yet never delivered a better life to any of its captives, filling a
reservoir of resentment, and pent-up fury.
Instead of safe neighborhoods, good schools, and a climate
for businesses to thrive and add jobs, the Dems ushered in wretched schools
where union spoils are a higher good than children’s futures, where small
business entrepreneurs have to compete with drug dealers on street corners, and
no one is shielded from gunfire.
Where vermin infested apartments are better than living on
the streets, barely.
Where police officers and firefighters don a bulletproof vest
before responding to a call. Where corrupt mayors and city councils loot their
constituents’ meager take-home remains, to pay for second homes and obscene
wardrobes.
And now the good citizens who endured such prolonged humility
and depravation, especially small business owners who just wanted a chance -- a
puncher’s chance against all odds -- have seen their sweat equity, a tiny bit
of tangible reward, up in flames as Dem mayors and governors talk of the
sanctity of protest voices even as some use violence as their medium, while
watching their cities burn to the ground.
Yes, the Dems are directly responsible, and the rest of us
would be complicit in denial, or in soft-pedaling the obvious.
"Progressive Democrats are incapable of keeping
their people safe," he said, "because they
have criminal-friendly policies that are pathetic, that are
dangerous, and now we are seeing the results not only there [in
Minneapolis], but watch the cities that start burning.
"They are all going to be run by so-called
progressives, idiot Democrats who let criminals out of jail, who
set bail for murderers and encourage exactly this kind of
thing."
As John Wohstetter points
out from The American Spectator “ When you reward bad behavior, expect more of
it”
Wohlstetter
chronicles the inept and incoherent responses to riots in the late 1960s to the
1990s from which we have learned nothing.
“Detroit
1967-- five days of violence, with more than 40 fatalities and more
than one thousand injured. …It was the worst rioting in America since the 1863
New York City draft riots, not to be exceeded in scale until the 1992 Rodney
King riots (LA 1992)…
“Detroit
and Newark (also 1967—four days of violence 26 deaths, over 700 injured) never
recovered from the destruction of 1967. Washington, D.C. never fully recovered
from the riots after the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King…
“And
in 1991 NYC Mayor David Dinkins took a “let
off steam” approach, as black rioters marched through the streets of Crown
Heights shouting “Heil Hitler!” as they assaulted Jews, after a rabbi’s car
accidentally struck two children, killing one. A rabbinical student — a student
guest from Australia, a more civilized place than was New York City in 1991 —
was stabbed to death. “
The
false narratives endorsed and disseminated by Democrat politicians and the
press about the Baltimore police and Freddie Gray, George Zimmerman and Trayvon
Martin, the Ferguson police and Michael Brown endure against truth tellers
consigned to the shadows.
Dems
stood aside while dozens of their neighborhoods were firebombed, businesses
destroyed, cities ravaged --- activated by Democrat mayors and their states attorneys,
county and city DAs whose selective readings of criminal statutes
emboldened and offered safe harbor to unrepentant violent criminals and
revolutionary anarchists -- all supported by Obama’s radical communist
community organizer sympathies, who vilified Tea Party patriots while
beatifying Occupy Wall Street deconstructionists.
The
Democrats have successfully disintegrated decency and civility, re-shaping
society. Lawlessness, anarchy, random violence, and destruction of
private property frames their new normal. Imposing nihilist tyranny of
the majority as a substitute for a constitutional process in resolving
competing political visions, punishing victims while cheering criminals, are
all standard- issue Dem behaviors, unconditionally underwritten by the MSM and
purveyors of social media.
And
so, we have the likes of David Gergen, establishmentarian, onetime advisor to
four presidents, now a political analyst for CNN, lamenting that AG Barr’s plea
for returning to “law and order” was a dog whistle, harkening to the civil
rights days in the South, having no place in the present discourse.
Clueless
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey issued this pee-on-the-ashes nonsense while his
city was ablaze:
“The City encourages everyone to exercise caution to stay safe
while participating in demonstrations, including wearing masks and physical
distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19,”
All
of America’s most important cities from NYC to LA, to Chicago, to Seattle, to
Boston, to Chicago, to Minneapolis, to St Louis, to Houston to San Francisco,
to Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia are run now, and for the most
part have been for last half-century, by Democrats, are to some degree in ruin,
ungovernable.
Covid-19
is a sideshow compared to the takeover of American urban life by the malignant
Democrats, as they champion the house arrest of everyday innocent and healthy
Americans, while reopening America to the erstwhile underworld, now mainstream
practitioners of despoiling all that is good.
The Illusion of 'Peaceful
Protestors'
The rioting is all about politics,
not justice.
June 2, 2020
Bruce
Thornton
Bruce Thornton is a Shillman
Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Last
week we watched the sorry spectacle of aimless destruction supposedly in
response to the death of a black man at the hands of the police. The
predictable script from Ferguson and Baltimore was reprised, the same
bumper-sticker empty slogans brandished, and the same pointless destruction and
looting occurred that were worse than useless for solving the injustice the
protestors supposedly want remedied.
Just
as predictable was the media coverage, which mixed ratings-bait lurid footage
of the violence with clichés like “peaceful protestors,” youthful passionate
idealists moved by righteous anger over racial injustice, but compromised by
“outside agitators” exploiting the tragedy for their own nefarious extremist
ends, most likely alt-right and white supremacist ones. And, of course, the
blue-state mayors and governors whose appeasing riot-control
protocols worsened the riots while frantically trying to avoid blame and
exploit them for their own political aims.
What
is missing, as usual, is the truth about these protests and their alleged
causes––They’re all about politics, not justice.
One
thing that is obvious from watching the footage is that these riots have become
a rite of passage for the college-age demographic, a sort of “woke” spring
break memorialized by cell-phone cameras, selfies, tweets, Instagram, and
Facebook postings. The other cohort comprises the shock-troops of left-over
leftism like Antifa, the same bougie thrill-seekers and political illiterates
who filled the ranks of Occupy Wall Street and the other international outfits
that regularly protest at meetings of the IMF and G7. Young people,
particularly young males, are naturally drawn to vandalism and posturing, and
these “protests” give them ample opportunities to preen before the
international press. And who doesn’t like some free stuff looted from stores?
Isn’t all property “theft” anyway?
More
recently, the cause du jour has been the alleged racist killings of young black
men by the police, which spawned Black Lives Matter. This canard has been exploded repeatedly
by scholars analyzing FBI and DOJ homicide data. But facts are irrelevant when
it comes to the “truth,” as Joe Biden made clear last year when he said “we choose
truth over facts.” The lie’s purpose is really to keep alive the idea of the
indelible racism manifested now in “systemic racism” and “implicit bias.” These
vague ideas are in fact confessions that real racism––obvious in Jim Crow laws,
legal segregation, daily violence and humiliation, lynchings, and riots––is
negligible today. Thus any pretext, no matter how specious or even false, must
be promoted and exploited to keep “racism” and victimization alive. It is the
mechanism victim-based identity politics relies on to gain political leverage,
and keep the racialist grievance-industry factories humming.
So
every time a black man is killed by the police, even if, unlike the current
tragedy, it is justified, as it was in Ferguson, the race industry hacks and
hustlers congregate like vultures to feast on the dead. After all, such
relatively rare shootings are one of those “crises” the left never let go to
waste. That’s why the “peaceful protestors” cliché is dubious. First, despite
the rote adjective “peaceful,” most of them are willing to act as buffers
between the police and the thugs who hurl rocks and bottles, burn cars, and
loot businesses. The “peaceful protestors” and Antifa are two brigades in the
same army, and there’s no more ideological difference between the two than
there is between Hamas’s terrorist and political wings.
Next,
their youthful “passion” and “idealism” don’t cut any ice. Nazis and
Bolsheviks were passionate idealists too. What counts is what you are
passionate about. Passionate protest predicated on a lie, whether it’s Jewish
treachery or racist cops murdering innocent blacks, in the end serves evil
rather than good.
Finally,
the idea that these “peaceful protestors” should be given the benefit of the
doubt because they are trying to effect “change” and promote “justice” is
equally bogus. First, even if they are sincere, as no doubt some are, they are
protesting against a crime that is relatively rare. It is juvenile utopianism
to expect that out of nearly a million police officers in the U.S., there won’t
be a few bullies or psychos. Thus given the 50-60 millions of encounters
between police and civilians every year, it is equally childish to expect none
will not result in abuse of authority. Of course, police departments should be
held accountable for their hiring, training, and accountability protocols, but
they can’t keep out every potential abuser.
Second,
as we’ve already noted, the crime they are protesting is rare. If black lives
really “matter,” all this “passionate anger” should instead be directed towards
the shameful toll of dead black men every year, 6200 in 2019, the overwhelming
majority at the hands of other blacks. This is the real crisis, one that the
black establishment elites in government, popular culture, and media shamefully
ignore. The reason is obvious: black-on-black crime doesn’t advance the
politically and fiscally profitable narrative of white “racism.”
Nor
will the “legacy of racism” determinist argument work. It ignores the
significant improvement in most black lives since World War II, and the role in
weakening black families and communities in the Sixties played by progressive
Great Society redistributionist entitlements, changes in sexual mores,
the decline of faith, and the whole “if it feels good, do it” ethos––all of
which were promoted and celebrated by the left. Better stick to manufactured
crises and fantasies like “implicit bias.”
Finally,
as Ross Douthat pointed
out last Sunday (amidst his usual irrelevant NeverTrump
clichés), disorganized violent protests have been shown to be
counterproductive, achieving the opposite of the protestors’ alleged aims.
Summarizing the research of Princeton political scientist Omar Wasow, Douthat
writes:
Looking
at data from the civil rights era, Wasow argues that “proximity to black-led
nonviolent protests increased white Democratic vote-share whereas proximity to
black-led violent protests caused substantively important declines” — enough to
tip the 1968 election from Hubert Humphrey to Nixon. More broadly, in news
coverage and public opinion from those years, nonviolent protests (especially
in the face of segregationist violence) increased support for civil rights,
while violent protests tipped public opinion away from the protesters, and
toward a stronger desire for what Nixon called law and order, and Wasow calls
“social control.”
Scenes
of vandalism and violence such as those broadcast last week, and the
destruction of businesses and neighborhoods, some of them black, will likely
have a similar effect, contributing nothing to the protestors’ alleged
purposes, and more likely turning more and more ordinary voters against them.
After all, Derek Chauvin, the cop who leaned on George Floyd’s neck for 9
minutes while Floyd pleaded for help, has been charged with 3rd degree
murder, as well as being fired along with three other officers. It’s not clear
what more the protestors want done.
Of
course, Chauvin could be acquitted, which would indeed be a miscarriage of
justice. And if that should happen, we will no doubt see the same violence from
last week replayed. But if––a big “if”–– there are sincere “peaceful
protestors” who want to demonstrate against that verdict, they’ll avoid last
week’s carnival of vandalism and looting. They will look to the protests of the
Civil Rights movement, and organize a march in which clergy, politicians, and
other civic leaders and adults participate with solemn dignity and decorum, and
with specific proposals for avoiding such an outcome. But gathering a crowd of
slovenly, entitled overgrown teenagers––mixed in with thuggish punks who
somehow can afford to travel around vandalizing and looting–– will harden most citizens’
antipathy to such spoiled ingrates and their specious pretexts.
Of
course, that’s all improbable speculation. The point of these violent protests
is not to effect change. It is to generate disorder and leverage more power for
the left, and more immediately to damage Donald Trump, who of course is already
being blamed for Floyd’s death and the subsequent riots. That death is being
demeaned by the progressives who are adding it to their long, dishonest
indictment of Trump.
That’s
what happens when a political party has nothing to offer any voters not already
enlisted as its client––photogenic “crises” are created as a diversion from a
bankrupt platform and a senile candidate. The “peaceful protestors” are either
willing participants in this political theater, or useful dupes.
The Black and White of 'Systemic
Racism'
If
you’re going to champion a cause, have the good grace or basic intelligence to
push one that is not so easily undermined by reality... like “systemic
racism.” At last check, we’re more than 50 years removed from “colored-only”
anything; television commercials would have us believe that inter-racial
couples are the rule today; and, diversity/inclusion is a lucrative industry
and that’s on top of affirmative action. In short, there has never been a
better time to be black in America. Until a few months ago, there was never a
better time to be black and employed in America.
Then
came the death of George Floyd, which was universally condemned. That point
cannot be repeated often enough. No one supported the officer whose name won’t
be mentioned here. In the ensuing outcry over Floyd’s death, however, many more
black men were killed, by the people doing the protesting. These further
black deaths have largely gone ignored because they cannot be squared with
claim of systemic racism -- they cannot be rationalized at all. Forget the
concept of “all lives matter;” it’s apparent that not even all black lives
matter. Unless a cop is involved and facts don’t matter then, either.
Not
only is ‘systemic racism’ grossly inaccurate, so is the claim that law
enforcement officers seek out and target black citizens. No one told Tony Timpa that
being white carried special privileges when he encountered cops. Or Daniel Shaver. In
fact, the Shaver case was so egregious even the Atlantic couldn’t
ignore it and to publication’s credit, it also noticed the elephant in the
living room:
“The
case hasn’t attracted the higher degree of attention from the press, the
public, or policing-reform activists, partly because…. the cop and the dead man
were both white, rendering the killing less controversial than one possibly
animated by racism.”
Less
controversial... A cute euphemism for “not politically expedient.’ As for the
underlying claim of disparate treatment of minorities by law enforcement, a
study from Michigan
State published last year reports that the mythology of racist
cops does not match the reality. It doesn’t even come close. If anything, black
citizens are more likely to be shot by cops who are black, and if there is a
causal link, it’s the volume of violent crime that occurs in any jurisdiction.
Simply put, more crime usually equals more shootings. And yet, the talking
point of ‘systemic racism’ has taken hold like a prairie fire that refuses to
be doused by any volume of contrary facts or evidence.
At
the same time, a combination of self-flagellation and self-congratulations is
emanating from white leftists eager to atone, or give the appearance of
atoning, for their lack of melanin while also getting their woke on, as if
there is a contest to see who can preen the loudest. It’s what a friend of mine
terms “pathological altruism,” the paternalistic conceit of the left that is
built on the belief that black people can only advance and succeed when guided
by the benevolent hand of progressive America.
This
mindset not only ignores the blacks who do just fine without these would-be
masters, it parades the helped group as mascots to be forever reminded that
their lives are only possible due to the tireless effort of their white
benefactors. It is an overlay of weapons-grade condescension atop the stench of
rank bigotry. Because what else can it be but bigotry when the pathological
altruist essentially says “you’re nothing without me” to the minority
individual while claiming “they’re as good as anyone else” to the rest of us.
For
an ever-so-brief moment, there was something on which we all agreed: the
cops in Minneapolis were in the wrong. Unity, of course, is offensive to many
in the political and pundit class, so the cohesion had to be ripped asunder and
few things create division as effectively as race. Was that even a factor here?
Maybe, but given the number of complaints against this officer, it is plausible
that color doesn’t even register with him, that he is a sociopath with a badge
and gun, and woe unto the person who falls within his crosshairs. Which speaks
to an actual problem, that of far too many law enforcement agencies protecting
officers who do not deserve it.
For
several years now, the Washington Post has
kept a running
database of fatal force incidents involving lawmen and civilians. The
numbers are available in literal black and white for any interested party to
peruse. About half of the people shot and killed are white, but the proportion
of blacks relative to total population is higher.
There
are two other factors that are often sidestepped: the incidents that
generate publicity tend to occur in blue cities where unfettered Democrat rule
has been the norm for decades. Secondly, when the elected
class passes one law after another, someone has to enforce the rules. In 2016,
after five of his officers were killed as Black Lives Matter was announcing its
presence, the Dallas police
chief noted that societal failures from bad schools to single-parent
homes to inadequate mental health are dumped in the laps of cops. When
the number of interactions between cops and citizens increases, and in tense
situations, the odds of an interaction ending badly also rises. Yet, the same
people behind the laws, the policies, and the increased contact keep being
re-elected.
The
reality is that there are genuine issues to address: too many laws,
one-party rule that kills any incentive for change among the political class,
and the blue wall that instantly surrounds any cop found in a tight spot. We
all understand the presumption of innocence, but that depends on the evidence
at hand and too often, it appears rogue cops go unpunished.
Each of these factors is color-blind, which may be the ultimate problem. It
hints at a unity of purpose among different people, and there are too many
whose power rests in perpetuating division.
Democrats
and Antifa: Fighting Racism with Racism and Riots
An
ugly incident of police brutality has yet again brought the topic of race to
the center of public discussion, peddled by the leftist
media. Violent riots accompanied by looting, arson, and destruction
of property in dozens of American cities were presented my media and leftist
politicians as legitimate protests and expression of the black community's pain
— because America is racist. Leftist observers call it a "hybrid civil war"
instigated by Trump-supporters: "When they say 'Make America Great Again'
they mean Make America White Again." "Brown and black
people have been protesting for centuries. It's white people who are responsible
for what happens next." Somehow, it's the white people who should be
accountable for everything bad that happens, which fully corresponds with
"identity politics" promoted by the
left.
Constant
oppression of "people of color" by their
evil
white counterparts indeed has been at the
heart
of the leftist discourse for decades. Leftists
talk
about "systematic" and "institutional" racism
that
exists in America. When asked for examples,
the
answer from the apologists is usually "Google
it." It
may seem odd that Google is headed by Sundar Pichai, an Indian-American
businessman who began his career as a materials engineer and made it to the top
of the one of the world's wealthiest and most influential I.T.
corporations. Some "institutional racism"! Then
there is a respectable organization, the National Museum of African-American
History and Culture (a part of the Smithsonian Institution), that gets the
lion's share of its funding from the federal budget. On its site, it
propagates an "anti-racism"
laced with racism toward white people. The chapter of its agenda called
"Whiteness"
emphasizes that "since white people in America hold most of the political,
institutional, and economic power, they receive advantages that nonwhite groups
do not." The museum opened its permanent home in September 2016
in Washington, D.C. with a ceremony led, ironically, by the America's
first black president, Barack Obama. Nothing illustrates
"systematic racism" better than the black president of the country
opening a museum of black history and culture.
Successful
businessmen and corporate executives,
athletes
whose net worth surpass the budgets of
small
countries, media personalities, celebrities of
all
sorts, politicians at all levels of the local and
federal
governments and legislatures represented
by
non-white people, and well funded "black
studies"
departments in the most prominent and
prestigious
colleges and universities suggest that
America
is not such a terrible place and has made
some
palpable progress in terms of racial
equality. To
many, it even looked as though Dr Martin Luther King's dream of his children
living in a nation where they would be judged not by the color of their skin,
but by the content of their character came true, but no.
Near
the point of victory, everything seemed to sour. Just as things
appeared better than ever before, the leftist rhetoric began to suggest that
things had never been worse. The more progress was made in the
righteous fight to right the most appalling historic wrongs, the more leftists
seemed to suffer from "St. George in
retirement" syndrome, as late Australian political philosopher
described it in his brilliant book Liberal
Mind: after slaying the horrible dragon, the brave warrior finds
himself stalking the land, looking for still more glorious
battles. He needs his dragons since he's useless without
them. Eventually, after tiring himself out in pursuit of ever smaller
dragons, he may even be found swinging his sword at thin air, imagining that it
contain dragons. As another great mind of our times, Brit Douglas
Murray, notes in his book The Madness of
Crowds, "[o]ur public life is now dense with people desperate to
man the barricades long after the revolution is over, either because they
mistake the barricades for home or because they have no other home to go
to."
This
is just as close to the truth as it can be. The home of the people
who believe they are warriors was meticulously kept a ruin by those who they
believed were at the forefront of the fight and those who kept fostering a
victim mentality among the "oppressed" ones. Today, they
even refuse to acknowledge that their sword swings against themselves.
You
can't stop the devastation until you acknowledge who's causing
it. It's not the "white supremacist" who pursues white
ethno-nationalism, the remaining sewers of true racism for which the American
public has nothing but disgust and condemnation. It is extremely
significant that the death of George Floyd was pictured as unjust and barbaric
accident by conservative media just as it was by the liberal
ones. Not a single commentator or journalist said it was right, and
all unequivocally supported criminal charges against Derek Chauvin.
So
who's to blame for a chaos?
There
was a joke popular in post-Soviet republics that suffered from the "color
revolutions" that in most cases cost those countries their sovereignty and
were orchestrated by the globalist establishment of the U.S. and supported by
European allies. It goes like this: "Why is the 'color
revolution' impossible in the U.S.? Because there is no American
embassy that would support it." The central actors of such
"revolutions" were not the embassies, but certain organizations that
were willing to employ violence against authorities. In the U.S., such
organization is represented by Antifa, which evidently organized riots
throughout the affected cities.
Ideologically,
these people represent far-left ideas based on Trotskyism,
which posits that communism (a perfect form of society) should be established
globally by continuous revolution using anarchy and
syndicalism. Socially, this group consists of lumpen proletarians,
to use Marxist terms. Those are criminals, vagrants, and the
unemployed — regardless of their skin color — who have "nothing to lose
but their chains," which makes them especially dangerous. As we
know from world history, economically deprived people serve as a social basis
of fascism and undemocratic regimes in general. A mob donning black,
wearing masks, wielding bats, and throwing Molotov cocktails and urine bottles
while chanting, "No USA at all!"
and now looting and burning all around itself is a good snapshot of what Antifa
is and what it stands for.
Substantially,
such a social group is mainly represented in the major cities that have been
run by Democrats, who claim to "champion minority
rights." All in all, those "minorities," and
especially economically depressed ones, are their core and most explosive
electoral base. That base's dramatic shrinkage, caused by Trump's
successful economic policies, was nothing but a threat for Democratic
ambitions, which require keeping the base loyal in return for welfare and continuous
victory over the racist dragon.
For
now, blue America reaps what it sows. Democrats and their media give
Antifa cover to destroy neighborhoods that support Democrats — even though it's
unclear how it is connected to anti-racism. Frankenstein's monster
got out of hand, and his irrational, violent behavior rips the mask off his
masters.
