America has been living in a fantasy land since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. The legislation finally made into reality the promise of equality before the law, regardless of race. Yet with every year that has passed since, black Americans have become more lawless, more aggressive, and much more likely to claim that they are victims of racism.
Oh, and what racism they claim to suffer from. It’s not just being directed to “colored” fountains. It’s not just being harassed individually. No, the claim is that “systemic racism” is to blame for everything that goes wrong in the lives of black Americans. The fact that 70 percent of black children are born out of wedlock in fatherless homes? Systemic racism. The fact that most of these single-mother families are sitting around on welfare and food stamps instead of getting married or working? Systemic racism.
Now, in the 21st century, racism against whites by black people is so everyday common that almost no one remarks on it. At the same time, greater numbers of black people defy the law, societal norms, and the police themselves, then scream “discrimination” when anyone pulls them up short and reminds them that they, too, must obey the rules.
Check out these two examples. In the first one, a number of young black men surround a Boston cop and scream at him that he’s “a bitch.”
In the next one, a black woman who is somewhere she shouldn’t refuses to make eye contact with the cops (too busy on her phone) and then just states she isn’t going to obey them.
But we may be at a turning point after the knife killing of white 17-year-old Austin Metcalf by black 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony. Not only did the knife killing appear to be unprovoked by anything reasonable, but the admitted killer’s family is holding fundraisers and press conferences. They insult the character of the dead boy’s father (he’s dead because their baby boy, Karmelo, killed him) and accuse the dead kid, his father, and society, of “racism.” It’s an ugly spectacle.
But there are signs of hope. Below is a four-minute video of a conference where speaker Myron Gaines, a fitness instructor, chastises the black people in the audience for laughing at the anger of a young white attendee who spoke. The young man said with emotion, “How long are we going to let white people be murdered in the streets before we do something?”
The “audience of color” thought that was absurd and funny enough to laugh at. Speaker Myron Gaines was having none of it, asking them why they were laughing at the white man’s rage when they know they would be burning down cities if the races were reversed.
Let’s see what X/Twitter onlookers had to say. Some, of course, just want to laugh and dismiss:
Others want to misdirect so the topic of black violence is never discussed:
Others want to see more truth-talking.
