Smash & Grab: A View Through The Broken Glass
By J. Johnson
I promised to answer an important question to a reader. Bogged down by family health issues, perhaps it was a blessing to allow other recent events to take place before a proper response:
A reader wrote:
"… Things are looking bleak for continued civilized country. Crime is going crazy. I know and work with many blacks. I’m in the engineering arena. I cannot ask a single person. What do successful blacks think about the absurd levels of black crime? ….
[snip]
"Long question short, what do average successful blacks think about things like this story? Broad brush question. Feel free to ignore if you think it’s a rude question. Not my intent..."
No, it is not a rude question, and you are certainly not the first to ask. Since this question was asked, we have suffered a domestic terrorist act in Wisconsin by a black racist, as well as the rash of dark-skinned barbarians in the process of ‘sacking’ blue cities in America.
To answer your question directly, I do not believe a ‘white’ person could be any more repulsed at what is going on than any black person (such as myself) who has escaped that culture. It is the same as any natural born American of Hispanic descent wondering if they are being viewed as an illegal immigrant simply because they are Latino. The problem is, most of us who complain and/or speak out against the behavior of too many black people of this generation are ignored.
You see, we do not fit the narrative of the day.
It is this narrative, that I would like to cover in detail; from the Rittenhouse verdict, to the smash and grabs, and all the actions in between.
After the Kenosha verdict, many of my colleagues and I had been wondering why the court-jesters-of-the-narrative (read: media) insisted this was somehow a racial issue. Over the past few days. Along with a little anecdotal data, I believe we’ve come up with a reason for the blatant lies being hurled in our direction.
The event of 25 August 2020 in Kenosha was textbook self-defense – all caught on video. The jury agreed. But I’ll take it one step further: Kyle Rittenhouse should become more than just a name, but a verb; a proper response/action to be taken against criminals, rioters, and true insurrectionists. But the narrative makers must defend their 'foot soldiers' currently on the offensive looting operations. You see, the ‘narrative makers’ know what we know:
As the burning, looting, and murdering continues, those conducting such operations are playing a game of American roulette. The revolver wheel they are spinning will eventually land on the loaded barrel and let’s put it this way: They won’t be talking about January 6 anymore. – and for good reason.
It will not be a false-flag event. It will be a natural attempt to remove at least part of a cancer that is killing this nation, or simply someone’s natural attempt to survive.
Thus, the action/attitude we’ll call "a Rittenhouse" must be given the label ‘racist’ to demonize what is bound to happen as a retail/worship/local community someday. The narrative will focus on whatever outrage they can’t gin up themselves. You’ll see all the familiar black faces (and a few white ones) that never got elected to anything but will be deemed the ‘voices of the black community’ will be given bloody shirts to wave in the air. Phrases like ‘white supremacy’ will be used more than the word ‘covid’. The ‘white nationalist’ or ‘domestic terrorist’ label will be placed on anyone who disagrees with the narrative (even if they are NOT white).
… at which point, the few remaining who think the Second Civil War hasn't started yet will get the cold water of reality splashed in their face. We are at war - and have been for some time. 1/20/17? 1/6/21? You make the call. The point is, the first step to resolving any issue is to accept that the issue exists in the first place. Let us address this reality with a sober analysis.
How did we get to a point where scores of thugs (mostly black) are attacking retail outlets, restaurants, parades and even people with no fear of reprisals?
Answer: We allowed this, and by we, I mean ALL OF US. We coddled. We made excuses. We turned the other cheek. We made special provisions. We told them they were not American, but African-American. We told them they didn’t need fathers. We told them they didn’t need God. We told them ‘Their Lives Matter’, and by omission, No One Else Lives Mattered. We told them they didn’t need any self-respect because the government was going to do that for them. And with no self-respect, they can’t respect anyone else. We over-expose them on every television commercial while at the same time claim the entire nation is systemically racists. When black folks pleaded for more law and order in their community, the cameras panned to those screaming “defund the police”. The results of this ‘moral high ground’ can now be viewed on your nightly local news:
"Undisciplined, Out of Control Black People Causing Burning, Looting and Murder (but it’s not their fault) – Film at 11"
For over a generation, we did not hold black people to the standard of being American. Call it the soft bigotry of low expectations, or maybe the longest ‘guilt trip’ in world history. The point is, treating black Americans as “Africans” has failed, and it’s time people (yes, you too WHITE PEOPLE) come to grips with this before this barbaric behavior shows up at our cull-de-sac or our rural safe places.
And when it comes to that, you’ll need more than just your guns since they’ll probably have the tacit approval of government. After all, we’re already being labeled with those bad words I listed above (even if you’re not white).
We are well past the ‘it-can’t-happen-here’ fantasy. It’s happening here. You are witnessing another example of a nation in free fall. It has been stated that “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” We are witnessing the fruits of doing nothing. The time as come to address these so-called black leaders of the so-called black community, that our patience is wearing thin.
If this black man were in charge, ANY program that makes a determination based on race would end immediately. That means no more affirmative action (read: racist) policies, hiring quotas, race-based scholarships, etc. Either we must accept being treated as every other American and live as Americans under American – no special privileges. And if any black person has a problem with that has the right to burn their U.S. passport after landing in the country of their choosing (and take your left-wing, white racists with you).
A final thought: Let us be mindful that those who wish to hold power would love nothing more than a race war in America (film at 11). And nothing terrifies them more than a united front. This is one of the reasons they throw race at everything – to keep us divided. With that said, white people need to stop cowering in fear with the word ‘racist’ is applied. To white people, the R word should be met with same response as the N word to black folk. But in all cases, don’t let name calling get in the way. There are plenty of black folks are just as sick of all of this; just like everyone else. The time has come to stop complaining about what should happen, and taking steps to make things happen. After all, it's only the survival of this nation at stake.
Just my $0.02
Good post, jj.
I only see two types of people—those with good character, and those without.....
Race hustlers fit into the second category, no matter what their race.
“There are plenty of black folks are just as sick of all of this; just like everyone else.”
I’ll believe it when they stop voting overwhelmingly for democrats.
Nail on the head FRiend.
“And nothing terrifies them more than a united front.”
Great post. Thank you.
“And with no self-respect, they can’t respect anyone else. Johnson has plenty of self-respect.
Thomas Sowell talked about the "black redneck culture." America's elites and media seem determined to convince both black and white alike this is what normalcy in the black community looks like.
Powerful sentiments, thank you for sharing your clear thoughts.
We also told them they don’t need jobs or a vocation because the government will pick up the tab.
We also told them that women are hoes and men are pimps.
We also told them that they needn’t worry about fathering children because Planned Parenthood will kill the baby, and if not, the government will raise the kid.
We also told them that they can be anything they want, doctors, lawyers, NBA superstars... but we didn’t prepare them for when that would not happen.
We also told them that not wearing a belt is a symbol of status and that snitches get stiches.
We also told them it’s not their fault.
Woe to those by whom sins come.
I'll never forget that poor old lady crying in the news that they burned down the only store she could walk to. I know she and her neighbors abhorred the leftist orchestrated lawlessness.
I’ll believe it when they stop voting overwhelmingly for democrats.
What's your imagined excuse for White people voting for Democrats in total numbers far greater than Black people.
Not in greater percentages
Total numbers mean nothing given the percentage distribution. Who the hell made any excuses? I despise ALL democrat voters!
Your question was answered in this post.

Agreed. Here my small town is being taken over by white leftists.
