The War on White People

Racism is the answer to everything today. But only when it can be twisted to apply to white people.
It was predictable that the mainstream media and other social justice advocates jumped to the conclusion that the mass murderer in Boulder was another white supremacist. Anyone familiar with Boulder, CO knows if there is a mass shooter in Boulder, most of the dead will be white. In this case, they were all white.
Was Ahmed Al Aliwi Alissa a racist? The preliminary data can make that case, but no one is calling him a racist and not a Islamic Muslim terrorist either. Most news reports are mum on describing him as a brown person. That’s become common. It’s called culprit shaming or racist.
Same goes for noting he is Islamic Muslim. In fact, the news overall is relatively light. How can the mainstream media and politicians get ratings from the story of a non-Christian brown man that hated Trump, and murdered ten white people, including a dead hero white Christian cop?
The murder of eight people in Atlanta, six Asian, immediately became an act of white supremacy. It had to be because Robert Long is white and widely reported to be a devout Christian. When it was reported that the motive was related to sex addiction, Long was cast as another white guy using white privilege to get charges dropped.
Most of the recent physical assaults, some deadly, on Asian Americans have, however, been carried out by African Americans, but they don’t make headlines or even the back page. Because they aren’t racist?
President Obama weighed in on the recent mass murders this year by saying disaffection, racism, and misogyny are to blame. He may have got one right. Disaffection means dissatisfaction with people in authority. Scanning 128 mass murders this century, only two seemed to fall into the category of racist and none, misogynist.
President Biden now holds the record for the number of mass shootings this early into his presidency.
Meyers Leonard is a white basketball player for the NBA. He was front-page news for two days because of an anti-Semitic slur. The coverage of the slur included a picture of him uniquely among his teammates standing for the National Anthem. A picture is worth a thousand words. Meyers is a white patriot that is anti-Semitic.
Undoubtedly a Trump voter. Is Leonard anti-Semitic? He said he didn’t know what k*ke meant. I suppose a lot of Americans might not know that Yankee is a racial slur for white people and so is Abe Lincoln. Of course, Leonard could be lying.
Here’s the rub; blacks are 2.1 times more likely to be anti-Semitic than whites, (For Latinos it is 1.9 times more likely.) but anti-Semitism by black NFL or NBA players is only reported on the back page and any published punishments are relatively minor, compared to Leonard’s monetary fine, and suspension followed by a trade.
Anyone that questions the crisis at the southern border is a racist against brown people and Texas Governor Greg Abbot who is married to a Mexican American woman is the head racist. He has pointed to a humanitarian crisis and the spread of covid. The news denounced his ulterior motives as racist. Good for Abbot. He has been undeterred. He sees the racist label for what it’s become. A hackneyed accusation used against white people.
How can it be in a nation that has become supercharged about diagnosing racism anywhere and everywhere that it is okay to be blatantly and unapologetically racist against whites? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects white people too. At least, it’s supposed to.

A Tale of Two Shootings By: Judd Garrett Objectivity is the Objective March 24, 2021 Last week, a man walked into massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia, opened fire, and killed 8 people, 6 of whom were Asian-American women. Vice President Kamala Harris was quick to turn the Atlanta shooting into a racial issue. Standing on foreign soil, she told the Irish Prime Minister that the Atlanta shooting “speaks to a larger issue” referring to “violence”, but then, she quickly pivoted and tied the motivation of the shooter to anti-Asian racism when she referred to the, “increasing level of hate crime against our Asian-American brothers and sisters.” Even though, the motivation had yet to be determined, V.P. Harris assumed the motivation simply by looking at the race of the shooter and the victims. She went on to say, “Racism is real in America... Xenophobia is real in America... Asian Americans have been attacked and scapegoated.” She very adeptly, yet falsely linked the shooting to an anti-Asian sentiment stemming from Covid-19. Joe Biden also tied anti-Asian racism to the shooting in Atlanta when he said, “Whatever the motivation, we know this: Too many Asian-Americans have been walking up and down the streets and worrying, waking up each morning of the past year feeling their safety and the safety of their loved ones is at stake… They've been attacked, blamed, scapegoated and harassed,” Even though he admitted to not knowing the motive of the shooting, Biden irresponsibly attached a racial component to the shooting. Biden and Harris’ words were thrown back in America’s face by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, “Vice President Harris was telling the truth about the United States. In recent years, hate crimes and racism against Asians have been on the rise in the United States, and many tragedies have taken place.” And at last week’s summit with China in Alaska, Chinese diplomat, Yang Jiechi, used that forum to lecture America on human rights, “We hope that the United States will do better on human rights,” while also claiming that black people are being “slaughtered” in the United States. Our leaders' constant need to view our country through the lens of race, and to paint the United States as racist, has caused the United States to cede the moral high ground to one of the worst human rights violators in the world, China. After all this damage was done, the FBI has determined that the motivation of the Atlanta shooting was not racial. The shooter was an emotionally disturbed sex addict, and he saw the massage parlors as temptations he wanted to eliminate. As with many of these types of shooters, mental illness played a large role in why he committed this violent act. In his attempt to tie the shooting to anti-Asian sentiment stemming from the origin of Covid-19, Joe Biden said, “They’re warning again what we’ve always known: Words have consequences.” Too bad, he did not temper his words accordingly. Kamala Harris paralleled anti-Asian sentiment to anti-Muslim sentiment following the 9/11 attacks, “People who are perceived as Muslim know what it was like to live in our country after 9/11.” Using the experiences of Muslim-Americans, Harris made the point that it is wrong for people to impugn an entire race or religion for the evil acts of a few members of that race and religion, except when you are assailing the entire white race for the crime committed by one white person. On Monday, a man walked into a Boulder, Colorado grocery store, opened fire, and killed 10 people. Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris followed her aunt’s lead by quickly using that incident to condemn an entire race and gender when she twitted, “violent white men are the biggest terrorist threat to our country.” She just as quickly deleted her tweet after finding out that the mass shooting was actually committed by a Middle Eastern Muslim immigrant, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. Would she have deleted her tweet if the shooting had in fact been committed by a white man? Of course not. The tweet would have been true in her mind, because the shooting would have validated her prejudices. This is called confirmation bias; the “tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values”. |
