Lots of racism on the Left.
Oh parts of it are very racist. Those parts are blue.
Tucker Carlson’s monologue from last night should probably be viewed by every American.
In it he uses data drawn from a Washington Post database on police shooting incidents to draw the following facts:
In 2019 there were 41 incidents in the US where police fatally shot killed and unarmed suspect.
Of those 10 victims were black and 20 were white (the others were either various races or racial data was not captured).
In four of the 10 black shooting cases the police officer was also black.
In three of the cases the officer shot to protect himself as he was in imminent danger from a suspect using a knife, taser or some other weapon.
Two of the shootings were deemed unjustified and those officers were prosecuted.
In 2019 conversely 89 police officers were shot dead by suspects.
Shootings of unarmed black suspects by police have declined 75% since 2010, the year the WaPo began keeping this database.
Barack Hussein Obama was POTUS in 2010.
Facts are stubborn and inconvenient things.
Blacks are racist
I didn’t really understand what’s going on until I read John McWhorter’s piece from 2015 about how “anti racism” is the new religion of the dominant culture. And like most religions, it’s built on articles of faith. You can’t question it; you can’t point out its contradictions or factual errors. Your white privilege is your original sin, and that can never be cast off.
China and Japan are profoundly xenophobic
Caste system still exists in India
Christians being widely persecuted
Sunni and Shites are perpetually at war
reminds me of little ditty

The source of the American black despair lies within blacks themselves, their undeveloped abilities and widespread destructive life choices.
When facts are issued the first thing it’s called is racism and the media are the kings in that arena.
The Antifa parades and the trail of simpletons who fallow are the lemmings the rioters need.
America may not be a particularly racist country anymore, but it will become one again at this rate.
When one or more aggressive tribes exist, there is going to be a defensive reaction.
There have been less shootings of blacks by police under Trump than Obama, and black unemployment was also lowest in decades under Trump pre COVID.
Yet they call POTUS a racist and the problem.
It’s utterly disgusting these frauds.
I believe there are systemic problems, primarily economic, that disproportionately affect blacks. The end of factory jobs, exporting jobs, importing labor have hurt the working class especially when it comes to family formation. Whites affected too, many turning inward to drugs and despair, whereas blacks are more likely to turn outward to crime.
50s and 60s welfare policies explicitly kicked the man out of the home.
The war on drugs as started by Nixon was a means to specifically target black opponents.
Education has fostered black resentment and hence black rejection of education, along with white guilt, leading to alienation rather than true integration.
Education has also fostered a disrespect for the trades. Not everyone is cut out for office work.
We were promised no more racism if we elected a black president. We did. They lied.
Yeah, racism in America. All those black celebs, athletes with so much $$$ they don’t know what to do with it, major CEOs, BET and Oprah tv channels, Black beauty pageants, black colleges and black profs at every university, black only scholarships, huge wealthy black churches, Black Caucus but no white caucus, every black news person is front and center on this event, etc. There is racism but it’s against every other race than Blacks.
Systemic dumbassery and white guilt. Someone should be shouting from the roof tops the question:
“schmuckee and nanzi and pedo joe and their feckless buddies have been in CONgress for XX years but suddenly this week this is an issue? What have you been doing for 40(56?) years”
The CRA was passed in ‘64. Notice the percentages of votes:
The final vote in the House of Representatives was 290–130 with 138–34 (80%) in the House Republican Conference and 152–96 (61%) in the House Democratic Caucus with 11 members voting present or abstaining,[5] while in the Senate the final vote was 73–27 with 27–6 (82%) in the Senate Republican Conference and 46–21 (69%) in the Senate Democratic Caucus.[6]
In the house, Rs=80% vs Ds=61%. In the senate, Rs=82% vs Ds=69%. So the Ds have continued to actually work against AAs behind closed doors all this time while proclaiming they’re all about “fixing” race issues. Odd definition of “fixing”. How many more year left on lbj’s projection? About 140 give or take. But, #factsdontmatter.
Attempted to post the following comment yesterday in local ‘nuus’.
Why doesn’t BLM address the Real American reason for the state of bigotry among races in the United States - the natural law that people TRUST people who look more like them than not; aka, Birds of a Feather Flock Together. Intelligence is the reason our civilization has advanced to this point, and has provided all the things we are envious to possess - Arts, Sciences, Economics. Just as it was man’s brain that got him out of trees and off the African plains, it is American brains that have provided for us so well, aka, ‘Yankee ingenuity’ was a common phrase in my household when growing up. What BLM misses is the degree of bullying at school against black kids trying to learn ‘... to be like white bread’ or ‘Crackers’. This is reinforced in some of these kids’ homes by their parents, who discourage studying because it’s a ‘hopeless waste of time - yo ain’t gonna get nowhere’, guaranteeing the continuation of a lifetime of indentured servitude by their own making. When BLM is smart enough to realize this, meaningful changes might occur. Until then it’s a waste of ink and time considering the issue. So if there is some benefit for some segment of humanity to ‘dumb themselves down’ to avoid conflict with an uneducated and foolish segment of humanity, I’d like to hear it. Otherwise, you won’t see me ‘taking the knee’ to honor stupidity. That would be insanity.
American black youth are not oppressed. Quite the opposite, they have quickly become, for society, the most entitled, privileged group that exists in America.
The only thing systematic is Democrat Greed and control.
Bkmk
I have been all over the world. Minorities here are treated better than anywhere else.
I disagree. Only whites can be racist-is racist. Blacks can’t take care of themselves without a white liberal savior-is racist. All whites have racism in their DNA- is racist. There are a few freak KKK types still around. It’s with all Americans, not just whites.
