Lawlessness Is Not ‘Racial Justice’ — It Has Nothing To Do With Race At All
The Federalist ^ | MAY 22, 2023 | ELLE PURNELL

Divisive activists and media trick people into believing their sensibilities about right and wrong are something racial that must therefore be rooted out.

A courageous man, along with his fellow passengers, restrained a mentally disturbed vagrant who was allegedly threatening to kill commuters on a New York City subway. A few weeks later, in the same town, a pregnant hospital worker checked out a Citi Bike to get home from her 12-hour shift and was surrounded by a group of men who falsely accused her of stealing the bike from them, physically harassed her, and then smeared her name on social media.

There is a concerted effort from powerful people in the media, on the internet, and in district attorney’s offices, to paint both incidents, not as a conflict between law-abiding citizens and their aggressors, but as representative of a racial struggle that they accuse everyone in the country of being a part of.

But these two events are not stories about their participants’ race. A thoughtful person who hears the details of each case could see that, from the facts we know, each was a struggle between the helpless and the lawless; in one case, there was someone to intervene on the innocents’ behalf, and in the other, there was none.

The average law-abiding, middle-class man, of any color, who fairly observes the Daniel Penny/Jordan Neely scuffle would see himself reflected more in the subway rider who was threatened by a drug-addled vagrant’s actions than in the vagrant.

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”
This runaway crime is a tool to be used to control the dumb masses. A useful distraction from the politicians’ criminality and to cull the Herd from alphas who would dare challenge the .gov power

It’s not racial. It’s archaic cultural. In Africa there is no law

The actual black community has been saying this since the first George Fraud riots, but while Black Lives supposedly Matter, indigenous black opinions are ignored in favor of those of the race hustling media darlings.

Without the race card, what's the justification for white liberal 'elites' to impose their crap on the rest of us? It's all they've got.... the working class has walked away. Hispanics are walking away. They've got 'abortion crazies and the race card'... that's it.
