White Americans have been under a spell since at least the 1960s with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What was supposed to be, and should have been, the great legal leveler that banished government discrimination against any race of people has instead been used as a cudgel against white people while blacks predate on each other and everyone else.
You can see that it’s a magical spell by the way people talk. Everyone in the U.S. sees the explosion of horrific behavior from black people. Everyone. Everyone knows it’s true. Everyone knows it’s thuggish and disgusting and dangerous, but everyone is terrified of calling it thuggish, disgusting, and dangerous. What scares white people the most, even more than an actual threat to their lives, is the idea of being called “racist.”
Who do we see brawling in online videos every day? American blacks.
Who’s tearing up the furniture and shredding people’s hair at Waffle House? Blacks.
So decent, law-abiding people pretend they don’t see what’s going on. They pretend that it’s not true that America’s black population is responsible for the majority of violent crimes. They pretend it’s not true that black people are enormously more likely to hurt or kill a white person than the other way around. But all of that is true.
When a white person begins to emerge from the spell, he tiptoes as if he’s trying to sneak past a sleeping monster. He hems and haws, and uses lots of qualifying language. “I don’t want to seem racist but,” or “I know this may sound racist, and I wish to assure you that I have the utmost respect for the African American experience and the burden of slavery,” are common excuses from white people who think they need permission to notice that the black people around them are on a hair trigger.
That was the approach Bill Mitchell took in a recent post on X. The CEO of Your Voice Studios tentatively, apologetically, asked why it seemed to always be blacks who were brawling in public.
In his post, Mitchell wrote:
“I hesitate to post this because I don’t want to sound racist but I have to ask.
Are these huge brawls in public between black people a cultural thing? Because you never really see a bunch of white people fighting in the street or in a public place like a mall or an airport or a restaurant.
And the head-stomping part. I mean that’s attempted murder. You could go to prison for years for that and even though they’re being filmed, they seem to do it with abandon.
I’m having a hard time comprehending the whole thing.”
Only because we’re living in a society that has allowed blacks to get away with violence and murder (just look at the people who donated half a million dollars to 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony who admitted to knifing and killing a white teen at a track meet) for decades does anyone say “I don’t want to sound racist” before making such an obviously true statement.
Let’s take a look at the responses to Mitchell’s post. Naturally, you have some liberal white people lying so they “don’t look racist.”
Then this:
Which got the usual response from a liberal white woman, the demographic most disconnected from reality:
The majority of responders, though, said that they too noticed reality: it’s almost always black people.
