When an American white person has an opinion that has anything to do with an American black person, the opinion, by definition, is utter racism. This rant is an example. Racism is a given in America. When a white cop kills a black person, it’s not enough that the white cop is put on trial and pays for his crime. No, America is on trial. America must pay. American citizens must pay. People of all races must pay at the hands of Low-Lifes (yes, Low-Lifes) who commit their own crimes and hurt the innocent. With premeditation, Low-Lifes kill, burn, destroy, loot and pillage. Some Low-Lifes look for any excuse to join a riot and steal something. Generally, these are systemically uneducated, ignorant, lowbred people. But not always. Apparently, some are members of the “educated,” millennial, upper class. You know the type — spoiled and arrogant in their monumental stupidity. They embrace Marxist ideology and despise America’s founding principles. Mostly young, they live meaningless, unproductive and ungrateful lives. Concealed by Mob anonymity, they childishly think they display courage, when in fact they are civilization’s ultimate cowards. But never forget for a moment that political lefties dearly love to see a white cop kill anyone who’s black. It gives them cause to expertly organize riots, stoke fires and brand all police as racists. Unrest and anger are sweet music to the rabble rouser. Then, on cue, out of the woodwork come all the virtue signalers who can’t wait to weigh in on the alleged systemic war by police on African Americans. Big companies care so deeply, they line up to donate to Black Lives Matter. No one would accuse them of pandering, would they? Surely not. Sellers like Walmart, Wendy’s, Nike, Coca Cola and dozens of others wouldn’t stoop to curry favor with their important black customer base and bolster their bottom line, would they? Amazon or Facebook do not in any way benefit from from their public generosity, do they? Pro football star Aaron Rogers wouldn’t speak out because 70% of the combined NFL roster is black, would he? Everyone knows that professional black athletes always choose to step up and build their dazzling homes, as well as businesses, in low income neighborhoods, don’t they? Get off it. Your sarcasm noted, Americans of all persuasions and races should think about rejecting domestic terrorism and discovering the facts — the inconvenient truth.
1. Derek Chauvin kneeled on the side of Mr. Floyd’s neck for just under 9 minutes. Allegedly, this subduing act was the cause of his death.
2. Mr. Chauvin, a 19 year veteran on the force, was charged with homicide. The record shows he had a history of excessive violence.
3. George Floyd was a career criminal. He had moved to Minneapolis after being released from Texas prison for aggravated robbery. At the time of his recent arrest, he was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine. He was in prison at least 5 times for theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery and drug abuse. He had entered a woman’s home and pointed a gun at her stomach to search for drugs and money.
4. The raucous charge of systemic, racist violence by the nation’s police against African Americans is a premeditated, outright lie. Fact Check (https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-black-americans-commit-crime)reports the following:
4a. Black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded between 1980-2008; yet they make up only 12-13 per cent of the population. The offending rate for blacks was seven times higher than for whites and their victimization rate was six times higher.
4b. 3415 people were shot by police in the U.S. between 2017 and to date, 2020. Killed were 1398 whites, 755 blacks, and 1263 “others and unknowns.” (https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/)
4c. 93 per cent of black victims were killed by blacks and 84 per cent of white victims were killed by whites.
4d. Re all violent crime, the FBI data shows, between 2011-2013, 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black.
5. Author Heather MacDonald wrote, “However sickening the video of Floyd’s arrest, it isn’t representative of the 375 million annual contacts that police officers have with civilians.”
Understandably, the video shocked everyone. Too bad we don’t have videos of thousands of other sickening murders. We saw videos of an American journalist beheaded by jihadists but no one rioted. You question — if a video showed a black police officer killing a white suspect, would white mobs blow up their cities? When a white cop is shot in the line of duty, does Congress kneel in his honor? Tsk, tsk, unfair, racist questions, someone says. Whites haven’t suffered slavery, didn’t suffer discrimination, weren’t treated as second class citizens and weren’t economically disenfranchised, were they? You would have to ask the white Irish, Italian and Jewish slum dwellers of the 19th century. If anyone ever suffered, these white people understood the meaning of vicious, systemic racism, didn’t they? Nobody gave them handouts and nobody rescued them from poverty. There was no Irish Lives Matter. Sorry, the story behind African American protests, both peaceful and violent, is not tied exclusively to George Floyd. In fact, Opal Tometi, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, said as much — that “(her) movement is “bigger than (brutality)” and that Floyd’s death was a ‘spark point’ that encompasses other injustices such as African Americans’ housing, education and health care struggles.”
“Other Injustices.” If African Americans suffer “other injustices,” then who are the parties committing those other injustices? Who abuses black America? According to Tometi, not just the police. Schools? Government? Business owners? The white race? Without specific information, you must assume that a majority of angry black Americans want something they don’t have and they want white Americans to give it to them. Big cars? Big homes? Big incomes? Control of Wall Street? The Presidency? Oh, they already had that. No, Matilda, Black America wants respect and acceptance as people — to be liked, to be “equal” in the minds of all Americans.
You have a message for black and white America alike. No one has the right to command respect of anyone. You live in America. You own the single greatest gift any country ever endowed to any citizen. You have individual liberty. Under the law, you are sovereign. Free to hate or not. Free to own weapons. Free to speak your mind. Free to accept or reject. Born rich or poor, free to make choices for your life. If George Floyd was murdered, his individual liberty and right to life was denied — the most serious of all crimes. That crime was between him and his killer, not between him and the American people. The leaders of the organization that authorized Derek Chauvin is alone complicit, not all law enforcement agencies and the thousands of men and women in blue who put themselves at risk. So-called White individuals do not keep Black individuals down. Black individuals keep Black individuals down. So there it is. A racist rant. Obviously.
