Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

Forget about white supremacists, black privilege is here ...

 After all the years being lectured about the threat from white supremacy and pervasive ills of systemic racism it’s time we all took a breath and understand the reality.

That was all bullshit. 

There’s absolutely no evidence that white supremacists pose any kind of significant threat to minorities, much less American society as a whole today.  First, there aren’t that many of them – maybe a handful here and there in our nation of about 340 million. Nobody takes these crackpots seriously except for those constantly warning of never proven “threats” to minorities and our “democracy” from “white supremacists.” In fact, nobody can even provide tangible proof of how many exist or why we should care.  Not the DOJ, the FBI, or any other government entity. 

The reason is simple: there aren’t enough to count. The magnitude of the threat is completely made up. That’s not to say there aren’t isolated wackos out there who may be dangerous – there always will be – but there aren’t enough to justify mobilizing vast Federal resources, and worse, trampling on our basic rights under the Constitution, ostensibly to “protect” us and our democracy.  

The Feds, politicians on the left, and media types don’t want the public to realize how little we are threatened by such small numbers of loons.  So to keep up the facade everybody in government and the media keeps inferring “white supremacist” movements from unconnected things like NRA membership, support for Trump, opposition to government overreach, parental rights advocacy, pro-life sentiments, living in rural areas, and voting Republican.  

None of these things have anything to do with white supremacy.  Going to church, being politically conservative, and owning a gun shouldn’t make anyone suspect.  

Besides it’s not white supremacists we all see attacking minorities like Asians, Jews, gays, and Hispanic shopkeepers. The attackers are overwhelmingly not white.  And most often the reports of alleged attacks on minorities – especially on blacks – by white supremacists turn out to be hoaxes. Like Jussie Smollett. Like Bubba Wallace. Like so many others.  

Yet, it remains the popular boogey man.  These imaginary white supremacists are supposedly everywhere, according to Democrats and the media.  But nobody knows where they are or how many there are; all we need to know is that – like the demons and witches from the Middle Ages – they are around us all the time and need to be rounded up and exorcised. 

Of course that’s the problem.  You’d have to find them, first.  To do that, you’d have to identify them and in such large numbers we’d all have to accept they’re really a threat. 

That’s never going to happen. Just as the witch hunters never wanted to eliminate all witches. How would a self-respecting witch hunter make a decent living without witches? How would they keep their power to terrify others if they ran out of witches? That’s why they always found more witches (mainly by falsely accusing people they didn’t like).  

Think about that. What would all the DOJ, ATF, and FBI task forces do? What could professional race baiters like Sharpton, AOC, Joy Reid, Whoopi, Marc Lamont Hill, Joy Behar, and all the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC do?  Without the specter of whites targeting and oppressing minorities they really don’t have a lot of other fodder for their shows.  

Still, as fake as the mythical robe-clad white supremacists are, there actually is a threat today from other race-fueled supremacists.  Only this time, they’re black. 

Yes, I am saying out loud what we all know to be happening. 

Ever since a drug-addled, career criminal fat black guy with a bad heart died because a single stupid cop triggered his death, black privilege has taken off. 

Blacks were allowed to burn down cities, attack police, loot, and murder others, because ... well, they had the “right” to do that.  All because of an isolated arrest with tragic results.  

That led would-be black supremacist grifters such as BLM to realize they had now ascended to power they never imagined.  The power to extort payments from corporations for protection. The power to demand and get special treatment by police and the courts. The power to elect representatives to legislatures and even Congress beholden to them, and afraid to cross them. 

Blacks almost overnight became a super class in this country, with special privileges over other citizens.  They had achieved what they always accused whites of having. They had achieved black privilege.  They weren’t held to the same rules. They were excused from responsibility for criminal acts. Their felonies, even for violent crimes, were routinely downgraded to misdemeanors. 

Consequently, with no fear of incarceration or serious punishment, mobs of mostly younger blacks felt entitled to do whatever they wanted, to take whatever they wanted, and to destroy whatever they wanted.  Their mobs rampaged through major cities such as Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others. 

They’re still doing it. And they’re still not being held accountable. 

So the often violent attacks on Asians, Jews, gays, and other minorities by blacks continue. Storming and looting convenience stores, drugstores, other retailers by mobs of black juveniles remains an everyday thing.  As are their beatdowns of people just waiting for a subway or a bus.  

Blacks are also shooting and killing each other every day in our major cities. It’s not unusual for a city like Chicago to record almost 25 shootings – typically black on black – in an ordinary weekend.  Holidays are even worse.   Black teens are settling scores with other black teens by spraying gunfire indiscriminately at block parties, concerts, festivals, and even birthday parties and funerals. Innocent black kids as young as toddlers are often collateral damage.  

Yet nobody wants to call out what can only be described as systemic violence by blacks. 

Maybe it’s because nobody cares when it’s black on black. Or when a black violently attacks another minority.  Or maybe it’s because blacks now get a pass for just about anything.  

Maybe that’s what their new-found black privilege buys them.
