I read this from Jason Whitlock, who always seems to look through the BS that people like Scal and others like him spout. Here is the link: https://j.school/post/133025099640/crying-wolfe-exposes-real-problem
Chicago buried nine-year-old Tyshawn Lee on Tuesday. Police allege
gang members lured the boy into an alley and executed him in a revenge
killing aimed at his father.
Father Michael Pfleger, a white
minister in a predominantly black Chicago community, eulogized Lee and
castigated our society, blaming the boy’s death on our “lost
conscience.”
How can we argue?
The execution of an innocent
black boy draws the attention of a handful of local dignitaries while
the death of a black teenager foolish enough to wrestle a cop for
control of a gun helps foment unrest on a nearby college campus seven
months after then-attorney general Eric Holder destroyed the fallacy of
“Hands Up Don’t Shoot.”
Lies stacked on top of lies create the
bullshit we’re witnessing in Columbia, Missouri. Clever faculty members,
in my opinion, baited a small group of misguided black students into
stirring a racial shitstorm strong enough to attract Twitter-addicted
journalists looking for their next relevancy hit off the Black Lives
Matter crack pipe.
The absurdity of the past week at Mizzou couldn’t be duplicated on South Park.
A
25-year-old, “Fresh Prince” black grad student threatened to starve
himself to death under the pretense that the school president hadn’t
done enough to stop unidentified white men from uttering the N-word when
passing by in trucks and carving swastikas with poop.
The white liberal, Ta-Nehisi Coates-quoting mafia declared Mizzou an
unsafe space and a hostile killing field for blacks and opened their
media platforms to any person willing to share a story about hearing the
N-word while in Columbia the past 50 years.
“Cry Wolfe!” is how
this entire episode should be remembered. Liberal academics talked black
kids into crying wolf over racially tinged rude behavior so an
unpopular president would be unseated.
Adult professors who
should be educating kids on the continuing damage of institutional
racism, instead built a human shield around a tent city set up to host
the starvation of an N-word fighter disguised as a freedom fighter.
A
redneck showing his behind with verbal garbage while driving a truck isn’t
racism. It’s a redneck showing his behind. Racism is a system of
exploitation rooted in race. The NCAA amateurism charade is a solid
example. Walter Byers, the white conservative modern architect of the
NCAA, described the system he created this way in his 1997 memoir:
“Today
the NCAA Presidents Commission is preoccupied with tightening a few
loose bolts in a worn machine, firmly committed to the neo-plantation
belief that the enormous proceeds from the college games belong to the
overseers (administrators) and supervisors (coaches). The plantation
workers performing in the arena may only receive those benefits
authorized by the overseers.”
You’d think if the Missouri football
players were going to strike, they’d choose NCAA amateurism as their
cause, not the homecoming king’s hurt feelings. And you’d think if the
son of a millionaire was going to threaten to end his life over an
injustice, he’d choose an inspiration more heart-wrenching than a
poop-stained Nazi symbol.
Why not choose Tyshawn Lee?
Ask
one of those liberal academics to explain the connection between mass
incarceration and gang violence. They go together like peanut butter and
jelly. The ruthless, gang-related execution of a black child is a
direct outgrowth of mass incarceration and its corrosive impact on
morality, decency and humanity.
Concerned Student 1950 needs to
ask Mizzou’s liberal academics to carry them to Tyshawn Lee’s
neighborhood and create a safe space there. Seriously. Assimilated,
spoiled black kids showing up on modern college campuses and pretending
they’re standing on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965 is f—ing
embarrassing. What’s worse is assimilated, spoiled black journalists
selling the righteousness of their cause.
Columbia ain’t our problem. Chicago is.
That’s not a statement vouching for the purity of Columbia. It’s
rational, mature acknowledgment that there are not, never have been and
never will be any safe spaces on earth free of rude, uncomfortable
behavior by humans. We’re flawed. We do dumb garbage.
The appropriate
questions for the kids, the journalists and their white, liberal
enablers/manipulators are: 1) Which area is more in need of a safe
space, Mizzou’s campus or Lee’s neighborhood? 2) Why are liberals
pouring the most energy and passion into policing the safest space? 3)
Why have those same liberals declared war on the very people and
profession (police) they call at the first sign of trouble in the most
unsafe space?
It’s all enough to make you think they don’t really
have the best interest of black folk in mind. Let me remind you again:
In general, African-Americans are the most religious people in America.
We are traditionally conservative, which does not mean Republican. The
black church, where Father Pfleger serves, has always looked first to
create safe spaces where black people live.
I’m not evangelizing.
I’m trying to show you who’s on your Day 1 team and who’s driving a
limousine offering rides to tokens willing to be used as pawns.
I’m
also trying to avoid ridiculing millennials. Whatever their
shortcomings are, they’re a reflection of previous generations’
failures. We turned the education of our best and brightest kids over to
predominantly white schools. We allowed them to abandon the black
church. It’s not difficult to understand why they can’t distinguish
between rude behavior and racism.
Liberal elites define racism as
“code words” and “dog whistles” and the utterance of the N-word by
white people. They reduced racism to a language. Martin Luther King Jr.,
Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall and our Greatest Generation defined
racism as laws and policy.
Teach that in your home, at your church
and at school and there won’t be another smokescreen, racial circus the
next time faculty decide to overthrow a high-ranking administrator. I’d
suggest the media teach it, too, but I can’t reduce the message to a
140-character tweet.
