It's Not About Race

A black man is arrested and murdered in an act of heinous violence while
handcuffed and defenseless. Three fellow officers, in close proximity to the
killer cop, watch the crime, listen to the black man plea for his life and
do nothing to stop it. For the next several days angry mobs tear up American
cities, looting stores, burning buildings, police cars and American flags
and even killing individuals in their path. The rationale offered for their
violence and criminal acts is that they are protesting a racist system - or
in Senator Bernie Sanders more colorful words, "a grotesque system of
ingrained racism and economic disparity that now more than ever needs to be
ripped down." These attacks on America are what the riots are really about.
Sanders' "grotesque system of ingrained racism" is a leftwing fantasy that
fuels the rage of the rioters and their violence, which is directed not only
against white Americans but also black Americans whose neighborhoods and
shopping centers and businesses Sanders' comrades are pleased to torch
.
No one knows for certain the motives that actually led Officer Derek Chauvin
to take George Floyd's life and to do so in such a brutal manner. Chauvin
was a bad cop with a long dossier of misconduct complaints and three
killings already on his record. But let's posit the most logical
explanation: he was a racist. And so were his three accomplices. What does
this say about "a grotesque system of ingrained racism" in America?
Absolutely nothing.
Is there a cop, or a politician from the president on down, or a publication
that in the week of George Floyd's murder rose up to defend the murderer? Is
there any public voice claiming that there were extenuating circumstances -
that he was resisting arrest for example - that would justify the act? There
wasn't. The attorney general for the state of Minnesota is black; the police
chief is black; the vice president of the city council is black, the
congresswoman for the district is black. A normal view of this matter would
recognize it as an isolated incident involving four bad cops who should long
before have been removed from the force by the Democrat politicians who
control the state.
But these are not normal times. In the same statement, Sanders accused
President Trump of "advocating violence" against black communities across
the nation because he called for law and order, while at the time praising
those demonstrators who were actually protesting and doing so peacefully. We
live in times when the Democrat Party and its leaders conflate the black
community with its criminal element in order to indict white Americans as
"white supremacists," bearers of "white skin privilege - a term coined by
the Weathermen, a domestic terrorist organization in the 1960s.
Fueling the flames of hate against white people, against police, against
America's president and America itself is the daily message of Democrat
leaders like Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden.
This hatred is magnified by the Trump-hating and America-trashing leftwing
media. This hate has now born bitter fruit across the nation.
There are voices, however - black voices on the left - who see through the
hypocrisy. Atlanta is a major American city that has been run by black
politicians for decades. In Atlanta rioters attacked the CNN Center, site of
a channel that is relentless in attacking Trump, white America, and its
allegedly racist system. CNN is openly blaming "white supremacy" for the
riots. An Atlanta black rapper named "Killer Mike" had this to say about
CNN's role in fueling the hatred whose chickens had come home to roost: "I
love CNN, I love Cartoon Network. But I'd like to say to CNN right now,
'Stop feeding fear and anger every day. Stop making people feel so fearful.
Give them hope.'"
Virtually every official in Minnesota with influence over the Minneapolis
police and the decision to keep Derek Chauvin on the force despite his
alarming record is a Democrat: the governor, the attorney general, the
Minneapolis congresswoman and the mayor. The city council consists of 12
Democrats and a Green Party member. The Democrat Party is the "system" that
protected the bad cop and led to George Floyd's death.
Just as the Democrats protected the bad cops, so they encouraged the rioters
by fueling the myth of America's systemic racism, by not providing a
sufficient police presence, when the mayhem started, to nip it in the bud,
and by attacking Trump for "glorifying violence," when he warned the rioters
that if the local authorities failed to protect law-abiding citizens he
would meet force with force.
The organizers of the violence were two far left organizations - Antifa and
Black Lives Matter. Until the Minneapolis riots Attorney General and former
DNC head, Keith Ellison featured a picture on his website advertising the
Antifa handbook for conducting civil war. The proximity of the
Antifa-spearheaded riot in Minneapolis prompted Ellison to remove the photo,
because Antifa's destruction of his capital city would obviously lead to bad
press.
The racist organization Black Lives Matter, which has led the war on cops
for several years, is officially endorsed by the Democrat Party, was invited
multiple times to the Obama White House, and is funded along with Antifa by
Democrat donors like George Soros.
The Democrat Party's leaders without exception have spread the lies that
there is an open season on black Americans conducted by (white) police. They
neglect to mention that police departments in major cities are frequently
run by black Americans; that black cops are actually more likely to kill
black suspects than white police officers, and that an unarmed black is less
likely to be killed by police than to be struck by lightning.
<https://www.larryelder.com/vi
al-police-shootings/> Black males are 6% of the population but they are
responsible for more than 50% of the homicides and violent crimes. This is
why virtually every civil rights cause celebre of the last fifty years has
involved encounters with the law rather than racist vigilantes from the
general populace.
Democrat leaders like Sanders, Warren and Harris feed the myth that economic
inequality is a systemic oppression of blacks when the majority of African
Americans are in the middle class, and the source of gross poverty is the
bad behavior of individuals. It has been statistically shown that not having
children out of wedlock and getting a high school education will lift an
individual out of poverty. The Democrat Party controls virtually all the
failed public schools in the nation where year in and year out 40% of the
students drop out before they graduate and 40% of those who do graduate are
functionally illiterate.
Democrat welfare policies and political dependence on teacher unions are
100% responsible for these deficiencies. The Democrats' defense of their
indefensible behavior is to blame Trump and Republicans for the resulting
inequities and to call all their critics racists. Democrats are wedded to a
collectivist ideology called Identity Politics, which erases the individual
and individual accountability in order to indict and hold races responsible,
as it happens the white race. This is the poisoned well of Democrat politics
and it is why self-anointed champions of "black folk" have felt so free to
dishonor the memory of George Floyd by burning American cities in order to
advance their civil war against the United States.
