Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
Charging Black Officers in Black Man’s Death is Racist
No matter what happens, it's racist.
The first rule of America is that everything is racist. If you’re confused about this rule, you’re racist. If the sun rises in the morning, it’s racist. If it doesn’t rise in the morning, it’s also racist. If the earth turns out to be flat, it’s racist.
If a black man dies in police custody and nothing happens to the officers, it’s racist. If a black man dies in a confrontation with black police officers and they’re put on trial, it’s racist.
In response to the Memphis arrests and murder charges (which seem to be disproportionate) in the death of Tyre Nichols, Philadelphia’s finest racist onionskin offers these deep thoughts from a columnist.
Five Memphis, Tenn., police officers were fired 10 days after civil rights activists say they brutalized a young Black motorist named Tyre Nichols earlier this month when he tried to run away from a car stop…
The swift firings were met with rumblings from academics who said that the pendulum was finally swinging toward justice — that the decisive discipline in this case would soon become the model for handling such things. For a moment, I was hopeful that the academics were right, but then I saw pictures of the officers in question. All five of them are black, and when it comes to the calculus of punishment, blackness matters.
The blackness of these officers helped me make sense of the conspicuous silence of the police unions who so readily defend the indefensible in other brutality cases. Their blackness also allowed me to better understand why politicians in Memphis condemned the officers for a beating that Nichols’ family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci described as “violent” and “savage” after reviewing video evidence.
If the five officers hadn’t been arrested and put on trial, it would be racist. Now that they are, it’s also racist.
One significant factor in the Tyre Nichols case is that he doesn’t seem to have had a prior criminal record. He also seems to have been on the underweight side and there were quite a few officers. That’s pretty different than the Michael Brown case. That said, charging the officers with murder seems like the kind of racial overreaction fed by BLM riots and runaway white guilt. Since quite a few of the officers on police forces are actually members of minority groups, the leftist anti-police hysteria was bound to affect them.
Memphis’ police chief is a black woman. The current president of the Memphis Police Association, Lt. Essica Cage, is also a black woman. She issued the official union statement, “The citizens of Memphis, and more importantly, the family of Mr. Nichols deserve to know the complete account of the events leading up to his death and what may have contributed to it.”
Is she a racist?
The obsessive need to see racism everywhere is conspiratorial thinking. And, like all conspiratorial thinking, the Philly Inquirer columnist explains a discrepancy in his racialized worldview, the seemingly impossible prosecution of police officers under the shadow of systemic racism, by once again resorting to racism.
Except that it was politicians caving to BLM that led to police prosecutions. Some, like the Baltimore failed Freddie Gray lynching targeted minority law enforcement personnel, most however came after white officers. The Derek Chauvin trial was little more than a kangaroo court in which anyone testifying on his behalf, including expert witnesses, faced immediate consequences in something straight out of the USSR.
This was never about race, it was about crime. But making it about race is a convenient distraction and a way for the Left to mobilize for the next wave of political and cultural violence against America.

Nolte: Democrat-run Chicago Year-to-Date Crime Rate Up 97% Compared to 2021
Compared to the first 22 days of 2021, the major crime rate in Democrat-run Chicago is already up 97 percent this year, reports Wirepoints. Compared to those same 22 days last year, crime is up 61 percent.
Another great American city utterly destroyed by unchallenged Democrat rule under Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Chicago is what happens to a society when Democrats get everything they want– when the left gets their Utopia.
More from Wirepoints:
Major reported crimes in Chicago in 2022 were 41% higher than in 2021 and 33 percent more than 2019. Versus the pre-George Floyd baseline of 2019 murder, robbery, theft, motor vehicle theft and shooting incidents for Chicago in 2022 were all up notably. But it’s worse than that. New major-crimes data for Chicago is out, covering the first three weeks of 2023. And what a three weeks it’s been.
The numbers show that overall reported major crimes through January 22 in the new year are 61% higher than the same span in 2022, and 97% greater than in 2021.
In just 22 days, there have been 2,189 cars stolen. That’s nearly 100 car thefts per day.
Compared to the first 22 days of 2022, that’s a 165 percent jump. Compared to the first 22 days of 2019, that is a — not a typo — 349 percent increase.
Already this year, in just those 22 days, 32 people have been murdered in the once-great Windy City. Nevertheless, murder is the only crime that has decreased in Chicago. By this time last year, 35 had been murdered.
Watch below as surveillance camera catches an attempted Chicago kidnapping in broad daylight:
Chicago Police Department / YouTubeYear to date, robbery is already up 26 percent, sexual assault increased by 12 percent, and burglary and theft climbed 11 and 24 percent, respectively.
Chicago’s utterly inept mayor, Lori Lightfoot, assumed office in 2019 and is up for re-election this year.
Last week, when this lunatic mayor was asked during a debate what could be done to decrease the crime plaguing Chicago street vendors, she said they should go cashless.
“We have been in Little Village working with those street vendors, understanding what the nature of the crime is, making sure that we’re doing things in concert with them to help them, to make sure that their money is secure,” she told all of Chicago. “Not use money, if at all possible, using other forms of transactions to carry themselves.”
Good grief.
Hey, maybe there would be fewer car thefts if people stopped driving cars?
Hey, maybe there would be fewer sexual assaults if people never left home?
Hey, maybe there would be few property crimes if people stopped owning property.
As I have said many times before, putting a stop to this is a matter of will. You have a very small percentage of the criminal population committing all these crimes. But you must put those people in jail for a long time.
Democrats don’t want criminals in jail.
Why?
Because nothing would make Democrats happier than 1) America going cashless so they can track our every movie and 2) Americans giving up our cars.
If allowing violent marauders to roam the streets accomplishes those goals, Democrats see those means as justifying their fascist and authoritarian ends.
You get what you vote for, morons.
Lightfoot might very well lose re-election, but it will only be to another far-left Democrat determined to make Chicago worse.
