https://youtu.be/InsuRkKCdFE - SHE LIED about POLICE and I CAN PROVE IT by former Officer Brandon Tatum. Everything Mr. Tatum says in this video is 100% factually accurate in discrediting the black woman speaking during an interview on a MSM show. Prove him wrong.

I am not the first to discuss this case and that sham organization, as Candace Owens has been all over it. Her NEW documentary, "The Greatest LIE ever sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM." The truth, which the media and democrats have fought hard to hide is that George Floyd killed himself with a lethal dose of fentanyl & meth, that Derrick Chauvin's knee was on his shoulder and NOT on his neck; and all the money made by BLM was spent in one of two ways: (1) to Patrice Cullors and her cronies' buying mansions in white neighborhoods, and (2) to gender ideology organizations. All of which Candace covers in her documentary. Bottom line, not a single penny actually went to a black business, black organization, black school, or even a black neighborhood. Not a cent. Everyone knows the inherent imminent danger that fentanyl poses, it's not rocket science. And the toxicology report of George Floyd proves beyond any doubt that he died of an overdose and not any knee on a shoulder or the spuriously claimed neck. The initial coroner's report substantiates the toxicology report AND denotes NO trauma to the neck, absolutely none. George Floyd had hypertension, an enlarged heart, and was grossly overdosed with fentanyl. The fentanyl and Police departments, cities, etc. always "settle" with families in racially charged cases due to the racial nature of the case. Why? Because of the black assailant, perp, suspect, violent offender, whoever is found at fault and the city, cops, or whomever was not...then there will be violent unrest and rioting, pillaging, burning and killing by black folk. That's just a fact of life in this country because blacks are not being held accountable for their actions.

Period. No knee on his neck, shoulder, butt, or anywhere else would have killed him given the FACT that he was ALREADY in respiratory distress before cops arrived on scene. The audio of the bodycam proves that as they approach Floyd's car. Floyd admitted to consuming too much narcotics too. Chauvin is a race based political prisoner. Period. Effects of Fentanyl "Fentanyl’s mechanism of action is believed to primarily involve its ability to act as an opioid agonist, which means that the drug readily attaches to neurons in the central nervous system that are specialized for neurotransmitters like enkephalins and endorphins. These substances are often referred to as endogenous opiates because they have a similar chemical structure to opiate drugs. Because the neurons in the brain that are specialized for these endogenous opiates substances are ready-made for synthetic drugs like fentanyl, these drugs are very efficient at controlling pain, reducing stress, increasing sedation, and lessening anxiety. They slow down the actions of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Because the brain is the control center for nearly every important bodily function, slowing the functioning of the brain also results in slowing the actions of other organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, etc., as well as reducing the ability to engage in voluntary actions, such as walking, talking, and even thinking." (emphasis mine) Fentanyl Overdose Symptoms The signs and symptoms that occur in individuals who have overdosed on fentanyl can consist of: Extreme drowsiness, lethargy, lightheadedness, or dizziness. Marked difficulty with balance, difficulty with walking, and decreased motor coordination. Complaints of nausea and vomiting. Significant mental status changes that often include slurred speech, decreased speed of thought (that can be observed by extremely slow rates of speech), confusion, irrational actions, and/or aggressiveness. Pinpoint eye pupils and/or bluish or purplish lips, hands, feet, fingernails, and/or toenails. Noticeably slowed or shallow breathing (In some cases, people may stop breathing or produce gurgling noises.). A marked reduction in blood pressure and heart rate. Becoming unconscious or comatose. The lethal effects that occur because of fentanyl overdose are most often due to significant respiratory suppression or the complete halting of breathing as a result of the central nervous system depressant effects of the drug. (NOTE: George Floyd was exhibiting all the above bolded symptoms easily seen in various videos recorded of the incident) The Deadly Effects of Mixing Meth and Fentanyl "Some people believe that the stimulant effects of meth and the opioid effects of fentanyl would cancel each other out, creating a strong high without the side effects that can lead to a deadly overdose. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Drugs don’t all have the same effects on every user, and their side effects do not counteract one another as if there is some simple, chemistry equation behind their use. Instead, what winds up happening is the use of two very powerful drugs at once puts an inordinate strain on the user’s body and brain. In addition, many people who are taking meth and fentanyl together do not realize they are doing so. Often, individuals who take meth or cocaine laced with fentanyl have a low tolerance for opioids and are at risk of overdose (NIDA). Essentially, these are two of the most dangerous drugs one could take alone but especially in combination when it comes to overdose." The Dangers of Combining Meth With Fentanyl The effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine on the body and central nervous system are oppositional, so when taken together, one substance can dull the effects of another. When meth is laced with fentanyl, this can cause the meth user to take more doses, increasing the amount of fentanyl in the system and leading to overdose and overdose death. When the two substances are being taken together intentionally, whichever product is being dulled by the other will result in increasing doses, posing a risk of overdose or at the very least overload in the body, which can have catastrophic results. In short, combining fentanyl and meth can lead to: Dulling the effects of one substance or the other Overtaking one substance or the other Not experiencing overdose symptoms Delayed symptoms of overdose Meth Overdose: Trouble breathing Heart attack Stroke Chest pain Seizures High blood pressure High body temperature Intense hyperactivity or aggression Fentanyl Overdose: Very small pupils Severe respiratory depression Cold clammy skin Gray, blue, or pale skin Blue or purple lips and nails Complete stop in breathing Loss of consciousness Unresponsiveness, even to pain Vomiting Choking or gurgling sounds (NOTE: Bolded points Floyd was obviously experiencing as seen in the various videos of the event) Then there is this: "Cardiopulmonary arrest is simply when the heart stops beating and lungs stop moving, which other medical examiners The Times reporter spoke with often do not include on their reports, as this happens in all deaths." ~ Forensic Pathologist: If We Found George Floyd at Home with That Amount of Fentanyl and Meth, It Could Be an Overdose (westernjournal.com) It is odd that medical examiners do not note that medical fact since it is an obvious occurrence in ALL manners of death. In other words, it is of absolutely no clinical significance as to the actual "manner of death," since it is an end result "in all deaths." "“A. Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens: “1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL” That’s just the first few words of the “Toxicology” section. Also listed are norfentanyl, 4-ANPP, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, morphine and so on. But the 11 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl is rather important, inasmuch as the chief medical examiner called this “a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances,” saying, “deaths have been certified with levels of 3.” Three. But George Floyd went up to 11. Fentanyl Facts (cdc.gov) Facts about Fentanyl (dea.gov) How much fentanyl will kill you? - Harm Reduction Ohio T.

Two common results of an overdose when one is “speedballing.” In other words, when one is taking/consuming a strong stimulant like meth that staves off the effects of depressants like fentanyl and amphetamines, when the stimulant(s) wears off, fatality more often than not occurs (unless medical intervention is immediate upon noticing the symptoms of an overdose). As in the case of Mr. George Floyd. An individual addicted to illicit drugs like fentanyl, amphetamines, morphine, marijuana and methamphetamines. However, pseudo know-it-alls, Floyd did not die from what they would consider as a “recreational drug,” but rather from the neck compression (despite the coroner clearly reporting absolutely “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.” In comments in another formal debate, Mps1213 basically, for a lack of better terms, mouthed off that he knows better than Sir.Lancelot, myself and anyone else on this subject of Floyd’s death who dares say otherwise. So, this forum thread is being created to challenge him on this very subject, and to allow anyone else so interested and inclined to join the debate/discussion, pro or con, may do so. This shall (or rather should/could) provide a learning experience for all involved. So without further adieu… On May 26, 2020, at 9:25am, just 12 hours after Floyd’s pronounced death, the coroner completed the autopsy of George Floyd. “As was released earlier by the medical examiner’s office, Floyd’s cause of death is listed officially as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.” The full autopsy report states further that “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.” The medical examiner’s office had also previously deemed the manner of Floyd’s death a “homicide.” The report describes Floyd as a “46-year-old man who became unresponsive while being restrained by law enforcement officers; he received emergency medical care in the field and subsequently in the Hennepin HealthCare (HHC) Emergency Department, but could not be resuscitated.” https://lawandcrime.com/live-trials/live-trials-current/george-floyd-death/authorities-just-released-george-floyds-complete-autopsy-report-read-it-here/ The above quotes are not only poorly written grammatically and contextually, but they are also self-contradictory. Then there is this: “Critically, the report says Floyd “experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement officer(s).” https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/authorities-declare-george-floyds-death-a-homicide-but-still-contradict-familys-independent-autopsy/ Having provided those two quotes (and sources) to describe the coroners official findings of the manner in which George Floyd died, what I implore upon anyone and everyone reading this thread is the fact that you each have to look at the data and circumstances OBJECTIVELY, not subjectively driven by emotion or otherwise. Nor any absurd appeals to authority either. The people with letters after their name all perjured themselves on the stand regarding the subject matter being discussed herein. To clarify my position on the stated manner of death: “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression” The wording of this statement, contextually, directly implies that Floyd’s experiencing a heart attack – in the moment (i.e., excited delirium) – complicated the subdued, restrain, and neck compression” executed by law enforcement. When I read this from a law enforcement perspective, this tells me that while all the officers involved, especially Chauvin, were doing exactly what they were trained to do in order to calm Floyd down and subdue him without increasing the use of force continuum…Floyd’s heart attack “complicated” that effort that required EMS to be called vs routine transport to the county jail for booking. Yet people like Mps1213, BLM (Burn Loot Murder aka Black Lives Matter), and the leftist propaganda machine (MSM) would have everyone believe that Chauvin either broke or compressed his neck so much that it caused damage to his larynx and caused asphyxiation. That couldn’t be further from the truth. As the coroner clearly noted: “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.” Given the fact that there were “no life-threatening injuries” identified during the initial/original unbiased autopsy by the county coroner, that leaves the question: why/how did George Floyd die. Well, the next place to look is the Toxicology report: https://famous-trials.com/george-floyd/2648-george-floyd-the-toxicology-report for the (in your face) obvious answer. He died of a drug overdose brought on by a lethal concoction of fentanyl, methamphetamines, amphetamines, morphine and marijuana. Stimulants vs depressants. A deadly combination either way you slice and dice it. And when you add comorbidities like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and a positive test for COVID-19…well, death was certain and imminent. See below: “Underlying Conditions The report says Floyd’s autopsy revealed three “natural diseases:” (1) “arteriosclerotic heart disease,” which it described as “multifocal, severe;” (2) “hypertensive heart disease,” which included a “clinical history of hypertension,” and (3) a left pelvic tumor, which it described as “incidental.” (Incidental tumors are generally benign.) The report elsewhere said that a “cross sections of coronary arteries, though not all ideally oriented, confirm the gross impression of atherosclerotic narrowing.” Then add into that mix the toxicology findings, broken down and sectioned out here (same place the above quote was taken from): https://lawandcrime.com/live-trials/live-trials-current/george-floyd-death/authorities-just-released-george-floyds-complete-autopsy-report-read-it-here/ The obvious fact of the matter is Floyd consumed a fatal dose of fentanyl and meth in what is commonly known as “speedballing.” https://www.training.fadaa.org/Speedballing/Speedballing_PPT.pdf The lethal dose of fentanyl is 2mg (but can be less); Floyd had 11ng/mL in his blood as reported in the toxicology report. But when combined with all the other stimulants and depressants he willingly consumed that day, Floyd was “dead man walking.” Which perfectly explains why he can be heard on body-cam footage upon initial and immediately following contact by police (long before the infamous knee) telling them he was having trouble breathing. Respiratory distress and failure is a common result of mixing potent stimulants with deadly depressants. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/george-floyd-told-police-he-was-struggling-breathe-officer-put-n1218556 The risks of combining fentanyl and meth is no secret. Fentanyl is not a new drug, but it is certainly more dangerous than most others, especially when combined with other drugs like methamphetamines, amphetamines, et al. https://www.ashevillerecoverycenter.com/methamphetamine-and-fentanyl/ “Deaths related to methamphetamine cut with fentanyl appear to have spiked in recent years; for instance, a 2022 report from the New York State Department of Health noted that overdose deaths involving methamphetamine notably increased in the state (outside of New York City) from 2016 to 2020, but that the majority of those deaths also involved fentanyl. This suggests that “the potent opioid [fentanyl] has actually been driving the increase.” Part of the reason the combination is particularly dangerous is because it combines an opioid (a depressant) with meth (a stimulant). According to the Florida Alcohol & Drug Abuse Association, the combination of an opioid and stimulant, when taken intentionally, is sometimes called “speed-balling.” The opposing effects of the two types of substances can mask each other, making overdose more likely. For instance, in some cases of overdose, the stimulant’s effects may wear off, and respiratory failure can result—particularly from an opioid as strong as fentanyl.” https://www.webmd.com/connect-to-care/addiction-treatment-recovery/fentanyl-overdose-and-adulterated-methamphetamines https://www.rehabcenter.net/polysubstance-abuse/opiates-amphetamines/ Taking into consideration the multitude of deaths, reported overdoses, and the scientific evidence that explains the ever increasing uptick in deaths related to fentanyl overdoses when mixed (laced) with other illicit drugs, and the fact that the coroner made it perfectly clear in his report that there was absolutely no life threatening injuries to Floyd’s body (e.g. his neck, specifically), the ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION is that he died from an overdose complicated by excited delirium during his arrest. That’s all on him and has no bearing on the officers and the manner in which they conducted their arrest per their own departments training guidelines and S.O.P. The ONLY reason the officers were ostracized and Chauvin was tried is it was yet another (among many) distractions the left and Democrats took advantage of (never let a tragedy go to waste) in further dividing this country and gaining or solidifying current democratic voters to continue voting for the Democratic Party. Officer Chauvin is innocent and he is nothing short of being a political prisoner in his win country for which he swore an oath to defend, and that country turned its back on him all in the name of divisive political rhetoric on faux racism and police brutality claims. "Thao’s attorney, Robert Paule, asked Tuesday whether Baker was pressured into listing “neck compression” as a factor in his autopsy report. Baker testified that he told prosecutors on the day of Floyd’s autopsy that there was no physical evidence of asphyxia, or insufficient oxygen. Prosecutors put that information in their initial complaint against Chauvin, and listed existing health conditions, police restraint and potential intoxicants as contributing factors."

8 Facts you should know about racial injustice in the criminal justice system: Racial discrimination has been ingrained in the criminal legal system from its earliest days and persists today. "The legacy of slavery, racist Jim Crow laws, and hateful lynchings has translated into modern-day mass incarceration and the disproportionate imprisonment of Black people." 1. More than half of death row exonerees are Black. Of the 185 people exonerated from death row since 1973, about 53% are Black, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Historically the death penalty has been disproportionately applied to Black people in the U.S., and they are still overrepresented on death row. FACT: Black or African American commit over 50% (53%) of the homicides for the entire country. FACT: Black or African American are 58% of the homicide victims (with over 90% being killed by other blacks or African American). 2. Nearly half the people currently on death row are Black In 2020, about 42% of people on death row were Black...though Black people make up just 13% of the U.S. population overall. The death penalty is more likely to be used in cases in which a white person is killed... When less than 0.5% of the 6% black population of 13% total black or African American population are committing over 50% of the entire nation's violent person crime, it stands to reason that blacks would be overrepresented on death row for the homicides they commit. Every year blacks or African Americans kill more whites than vice versa. So, it stands to reason that the death penalty would be "more likely" used in such cases, versus when a white killing a black, which are significantly fewer. 3. Half of the 2,947 people exonerated since 1989 are Black. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, 1,471 Black people have been exonerated since 1989. Clearly for a multitude of differing reasons on a case-by-case basis. 4. Innocent Black people are seven times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than innocent white people. Among Black people exonerated from murder convictions, approximately 31% were wrongly convicted of killing white people, though just 15% of homicides by Black people involved white victims... They need to define "wrongly," as there are a multitude of differing reasons; and the other 85% of homicides by black people involved black victims. Intraracial violence is grossly excessive within the black community. 5. It takes longer to exonerate an innocent Black person. Black people wrongly convicted of murder spend an average of three more years in prison than white people — four if they are on death row. Innocent Black people spend an average of 16 years on death row before they are exonerated. The appeals process and filing of motions by the innocence project takes time. No legitimate exoneration happens overnight. 6. Police misconduct occurred in more than half of all wrongful murder conviction cases involving innocent Black people. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, cases of Black people exonerated from wrongful murder convictions were 22% more likely to involve police misconduct than similar cases involving white defendants. Vague. Misconduct needs to be defined here; and white defendants sure as shit have been railroaded by police "misconduct" as well. 7. About one-third of unarmed people killed by police are Black. Of the more than 149 unarmed people killed by the police in 2017, 49 were Black, according to Mapping Police Violence. And? It is common knowledge that since then (and even prior to), blacks have become ever more brazen with law enforcement encounters where they immediately become defiant, verbally accosting, resist arrest, flee, fight and even try to harm the police. As such, 90-95% of all shootings are ruled legally justified. Cops are approximately 19x more likely to be shot and killed by an armed black person, than an unarmed black person being shot (and not necessarily killed) by police at approximately 2.5-3x. In the aggregate, whites and Hispanics are shot more by police, not blacks. A Washington State University study has conclusively shown that law enforcement are less likely to pull the trigger on a black suspect than any other race. "Participants in an innovative Washington State University study of deadly force were more likely to feel threatened in scenarios involving black people. But when it came time to shoot, participants were biased in favor of black suspects, taking longer to pull the trigger against them than against armed white or Hispanic suspects." ‘Deadly force’ lab finds racial disparities in shootings – WSU Insider This study found race matters in police shootings, but the results may surprise you | CAS in the Media | Washington State University (wsu.edu) 8. Black people are more likely to be stopped and searched. Studies have shown that Black people, Latinx people, and communities of color are more likely to be stopped, searched, and suspected of a crime — even when no crime has occurred. FACT: Black and brown people commit a disproportionate amount of crime in this country. Law enforcement go where the crime is, not where it is not. FACT: Majority of crimes in the NYC subway system were being committed by black and brown people; Guliani's Stop n Frisk program WORKED! Racial bias in policing contributes to the wrongful incarceration and conviction of innocent Black people and is also seen in arrest quotas, the use of surveillance technologies like facial recognition software to identify suspects, predictive policing tools, and gang databases. FACT: Criminological data conclusively demonstrates that black and brown people commit a disproportionate number of certain crimes, so law enforcement, in being proactive, will target those demographics committing the most crime in order to prevent that crime. Bottom line, this article by the Innocence Project is nothing short of misinformation and disinformation. It's part of the reason why many on the left carry and parrot the wrong ideas about law enforcement and the criminal justice system.

As of late this world is going crazy over criminals being treated like criminals to the point of placing them into the category of heroes and if killed, martyrs for their criminality just because they are a person of color #POC. As a result, law enforcement has been castigated and labelled the criminals for upholding the law. This is pure insanity and a recipe for anarchy and chaos. The most recent shooting involves Patrick Lyoya, an immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Africa), who was pulled over by an officer for having a state issued license plate with a registration that did not match the vehicle Patrick was driving. The officer pulled over the vehicle and the video immediately shows Patrick getting out of the vehicle. Upon doing so, the officer gives a lawful order directing him to return to his vehicle. Police are trained that when a person exits a vehicle upon being pulled over is cause to escalate the use of force paradigm, especially when the person exiting the vehicle tries to flee and/or fights with the officer, which is precisely what follows. The real tragedy here is the glowing fact that since the death of George Floyd , people have gone bat shit crazy over race relations. Problem with that specific case is the glowing indisputable fact that Floyd killed himself. Yes, I know. Everyone believes Officer Chauvin killed him with the infamous "knee on the neck," but that is NOT what killed Floyd. His death was turned into a political shit show for the sole sake of appeasing blacks and white guilt liberals. Otherwise the riots that already destroyed numerous cities across America and abroad would have been renewed once again had Chauvin been acquitted. Therefore, just like OJ trial on the heels of the Rodney King "incident," jurors were too scared to acquit when they knew that was the legally correct ruling. Some jurors refused to uphold their oath and ruled merely because they "felt" it was justice for Rodney King. Unfortunately, and as unprecedented as it clearly was, the jurors in the Chauvin case faced death threats if they acquitted. Moreover, the jurors were never sequestered, allowing them to be bombarded with race baiting propaganda from the left and democrats, in addition to the death threats. As a result, Chauvin became nothing more than a political prisoner to appease people of color and white guilt liberals in America. Michael Brown, Trayvone Martin (shot and killed by a "white" Hispanic), Tamir Rice, and many more have all been in the headlines as unjustified "police brutality" or "white rage." All of which has been proven unfounded time and time again. But it simply does not stop the leftist anti-American and anti-law enforcement zombie bandwagon members from foaming at the mouth on indefensible claims of injustice at the hands of police. Especially when the #facts fit the opposite side of their unfounded claims. The simple and justifiable (provable) fact is that black boys/men are the direct cause of over 50% of the entire nation's violent person crimes. Murder. Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Robbers. Rape. Et al. The aforementioned is an inconvenient truth that POC, namely blacks, simply refuse to admit. It is called #denialism. Blacks are in #denial of the #fact their own people are more of a problem for America than any other race. And a lot of it has to do with the subculture that black Americans created. Patrick should have just done what he was told, but because of the black subculture in America, black leaders and black peers are constantly telling blacks, men and women, since his arrival via social media, that he should feel empowered to run and fight police, even reportedly yelling "I'm a black man" just before the officer's body camera suddenly cut out. This article breaks things down pretty good. LINK. The officer involved in the shooting has since been identified due to the growing pressure from Ambulance Chaser Civil Attorney, Benjamin Crump. Unfortunately for Crump, the officer involved has a stellar record with no legitimate complaints. But one thing that always stands out about Crump is he makes a lot of baseless assertions when it comes to law enforcement Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), training, and legal authority of officers. He is a civil attorney, not a criminal attorney and he definitely has never served a millisecond as a law enforcement officer. And yet Crump feels comfortable making sweeping hasty generalization fallacies and outright lies about what cops are supposed to do and not to do when engaging suspects fighting back: "The video clearly shows that this was an unnecessary, excessive, and fatal use of force against an unarmed Black man who was confused by the encounter and terrified for his life. It should be noted that Patrick never used violence against this officer even though the officer used violence against him in several instances for what was a misdemeanor traffic stop.” Patrick never used violence, really? He grabbed the officer's taser. He fought with the officer. He refused to abide by the officer's lawful orders. Why would Patrick be "terrified for his life" for merely being pulled over for a traffic violation? He shouldn't; but that is what a segment of black Americans have brainwash the rest of blacks living in or coming to America with: outright lies regarding law enforcement encounters. POC are to fear the police. To fear white people. And yet statistically, black males kill (murder) more whites (and police officers) every single year than vice versa. This is one example for the year 2019, and it is about the same every year before and after. Blacks kill more than twice as many whites as whites killed blacks. And intraracial violence among blacks is 2x as deadly given the fact that blacks are less than 14% of the population compared to 70% of whites. If anyone needs to fear anyone in this country, it is whites needing to fear black men. Black men who are 18.5x more likely to shoot and kill law enforcement officers than law enforcement officers being 2.5x more likely to shoot blacks, but not always necessarily killing them. Violent black boys/men are the problem in America, not whites, not law enforcement officers. That is just a fact, an inconvenient truth that black Americans, rich or poor, are in denial thereof. And it is all due to black culture. Until black Americans and black immigrants stop buying into the racial snake oil victimhood mentality being peddled and sold by #grifters like #BenjaminCrump, #JoyAnnReid, #DonLemon, #AlSharpton, #JesseJackson and liberal white boy #ShaunKing, among so many others, blacks will continue to face an uphill battle never before faced since the 1960s and civil rights. It also does not help when the lunatic left is pushing the incendiary version of Critical Race Theory upon children without appreciating the dangers it imposes. - Voddie Baucham Jr. Sounds Off on CRT: ‘Demonic Ideology’

As of late, the black community has shown its true colors and in doing so, they have firmly established their "black privilege." The New Black Privilege We are so focused on white privilege, we forgot about black privilege The birth of black privilege Black Privilege Check your black privilege? That's a discussion worth having. Black Privilege? Black Guilt? I think I have them The reality of black male privilege For all the choices made, actions completed, things said and done...the following are examples of black Americans who are living proof of Black Privilege: Jussie Smollett = black privilege Joy-Ann Reid = black privilege Elie Mystal = black privilege Michael Eric Dyson = black privilege Nicole Hannah Jones = black privilege Jada Pinkett Smith = black privilege Will Smith = black privilege Al Sharpton = black privilege Jesse Jackson = black privilege Van Jones = black privilege Whoopi Goldberg = black privilege George Floyd = black privilege Jacob Wright = black privilege Benjamin Crump = black privilege Every black male that kills another black person = black privilege And every black person that make a hoax claim of a hate crime/racism (e.g., Jussie Smollett, Tawana Brawley, etc.) I mean, I can go on and on and on with example after example of blacks getting away with things said and done that no white person, or any other non-person of color (e.g., Jews) would be allowed to get away with. Anyone not black would just be castigated for being a "racist." The all too common "race card" being pulled to shut down any argument or proffering of the truth about a black person. A fact we see all the time in the immediate aftermath of a black male being shot and killed by the police. Take the recent incident in Akron, Ohio involving Jayland Walker who was wearing a ski mask and led police on a high-speed felonious case chase (in a vehicle sought by police for an earlier incident) while shooting at the police, leaping from the driver seat out the passenger door to run from police while the vehicle was still moving, refusing to obey commands to stop and comply (with officers deploying tasers without a successful result), then reaching for his waistband and turning towards please in a perceived threatening manner...he gets shot and rightly so. Yes, I said that. You reap what you sow when you do not comply with lawful commands and put law enforcement within the position to defend not only innocent lives around them (to include those sleeping in their beds within their homes), but also their own life and that of their fellow officers. Despite facts that clearly depict the black male being the criminal that they clearly are, assailing others, and more poignantly law enforcement officers, many on the left, both democratic blacks and white guilt liberals, simply jump to emotively driven ignorant subjective judgments without knowing any of the facts, or simply denying those concrete facts. The truth is too difficult for them to swallow, so they deny that reality for their emotively filled fantasy of anger, resentment and disdain for white people. People they should be grateful for the life they have; versus the life they likely would never have had to begin with. After all, only roughly 334,000 Africans were even brought to the shores of North America. The remaining 10.7 million that survived the Atlantic journey were taken to the Caribbean and South America. A glaring difference between Africans taken to North America and the other southern locations is the obvious fact that Africans and their decedents in north America have taken their freedom for granted. So much so that they cause more violent crime, steal, cheat and demand reparations whereas those African descendants in the Caribbean and South America do not. That is just a reality. A fact. Which is precisely why those from the aforementioned regions, even Africa (e.g., Nigerians), are far more successful academically and professionally than native born blacks. Think on that.

Just this past July 4, 2022, actress and comedian Leslie Jones took to social media to berate America not being free and it is returning to slavery. Former Officer Brandon breaks down and unpacks her asinine rant here. During his video he makes a really great point regarding the vast freedoms of America that make it possible for people like Jones to become very wealthy despite "having no talent." Tatum then recounts the richest black women in the world and America has 6 of them with Oprah topping the list, obviously. I will wager a bet that 9.9 out of 10 people reading this blog doesn't even know who the very first woman to become a self-made millionaire was... Madame C.J. Walker; and she didn't make that money in 2000, 1990 or even 1960. She became a successful entrepreneur in the early 1900s, a time considered to be far more racist towards blacks than present day. America is also so free and provides a multitude of opportunities for anyone, even the poorest and most downtrodden like the humble beginnings of multimillionaire Chris Gardner, a tried-and-true rags to riches story. Yet despite all the freedom and opportunities that are out there that can make anyone in America very successful, it appears those who are successful complain the most about America and accuse it of restricting those freedoms, opportunities and rights of the people. Clearly that couldn't be any further from the truth, as Brandon Tatum so correctly articulated in the cited YouTube video. Over the past decade and beyond, any non-person of color could be fired, blacklisted, and ostracized for innocuous things said and/or done whereas if a person of color did the same thing would be either ignored or given a pat on the back for saying or doing so. This, by definition black privilege (or even Hispanic privilege), not white privilege. UPS Fired Worker on False Racism Claims, Attorney Says Man gets 'white woman' fired over alleged 'racist attack.' But the video does not show anything racist that happened The False Cry of Racism, When Racism Doesn't Exist 7 of the most ridiculous cries of racism ever made Media pushes false narrative of racism NY Times reveals the devastation after Smith College capitulated to a false claim of racism Leftists Claim Everything is Racist - Except for Actual Race Hatred Idaho Announcer Fired Over False Claims of Racism Another case of false racism...caught on video I could go on and on listing cases and example after example of how false claims of racism have been literally weaponized in America in order to not only shut down debate/discussion, but also businesses, personal lives, neighborhoods, towns and even entire cities - just look at the summer riots of 2020. Despite the level of damage structurally, financially but also personally for hundreds of thousands of people, to include those who lost their lives, no one on the left, let along Congress, will simply not investigate the rioting to get to the actual truth. In fact, many politicians (and celebrities) supported the rioting by BLM and created funding sources to get anyone arrested out of jail, politicians like Kamalla Harris. Politicians are not the only problem either, celebrities are also a huge problem when it comes to weaponizing false claims of racism and using it against white America, especially white males. No white person would ever get away with what Jada Pinkett-Smith did in accusing the Academy/Oscars of "being too white" (i.e., lack of diversity). That is black privilege right there. But the fact that escapes her and everyone who supported this asinine nonsensical accusation is proportionality of the white and black population juxtaposed to one another. When there are more white actors, actresses, directors, so on and so forth...there will obviously be more nominees than the much fewer or absent roles filled by blacks. For example, if only 10 movies were made one year with only 2 having a black lead, 2 having a black director, and 2 with black makeup artists the odds of any one or more being nominated will be less than their white counterparts. That's not a lack of diversity, that's a lack of black professionals in those roles jumping forward to act in or direct those movies. That's not racism; that's just a lack of qualified people. Then we have MSM correspondents, commentators, and pundits who get away with saying things on television and on social media that no white person would less they want to be fired, ostracized and their lives ruined (which includes death threats from leftist fanatics). People like Elie Mystal, Joy Ann Reid, Nicole Hannah Jones, Van Jones, Al Sharpton, so on and so forth. This doesn't go without saying white guilt liberals are just as bad, if not more, like race baiter transracial Jeffrey "Shaun" King. I can go on and on with example after example of the flagrant black privilege being used to further divide this country on faux racial grounds, but why beat around the bush. In the end the answer to the question of whether or not white privilege is a fact or fiction, the obvious answer is it is truly pure fiction; but black privilege is very real and dangerous to any and all attempts of moving America forward towards racial harmony.

According to Justice Clarence Thomas, the next issue(s) to be taken up and corrected by SCOTUS should be gay marriage, contraception and sodomy. I would also add the case that created protections that were NOT written thereof in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, transgender rights. For far too long the Justices have read into (i.e., legislated from the bench) the Amendments in order to create rights that are not explicitly written thereof. Justice Thomas is correct. Gay marriage, contraception, sodomy and transgender rights are NOT written into the US Constitution, and those gross errors of case precedence needs to be reversed and corrected. "Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for a 6-to-3 majority of the court, said that while the Civil Rights Act doesn't specifically mention the rights of homosexuals or transgender individuals, that law was written broadly enough to demand they be protected from discrimination in employment matters such as hiring, firing, pay and promotion." No, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was not written "broadly enough" to add factors that simply did not exist. It was very, very specific, not broad. "...outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin." In 1964, sex meant a biological man and a biological woman. Nothing else. Not gays. Not transgenders. Just a biological man and a biological woman. Below is NOT a biological woman. What Justice Gorsuch did was read into the statute without taking the legislative history into account, which is precisely what they are supposed to do. He failed, epically, to uphold his responsibility in that process of judicial review. He took nothing of factual history surrounding transgenderism into account where that 1964 Act is concerned. He failed. The Court failed. Transgenders are NOT protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Controversial pundit from the Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, has created a well written and produced documentary entitled, "What is a Woman?" And it is causing quite the stir among snowflakes and liberal whiners. Especially the interviews done on the Dr. Phil Show between Walsh and a couple other, well, guests. "What is a Woman?" is the documentary of our age. It addresses a reality that most refuse to accept. People who cannot handle the truth simply cannot handle the fact that their illusions are not actual reality. So, they deny truth, and charge truthsayers as bigots. Typical intellectual cowardice and a fine example of the Dunning Kruger Effect in action. It simply does not matter how hard liberals push, or their successes in getting others to become "woke," it simply will not change the FACT that less than 0.5% of the population in this country just will not accept men thinking they are women, women thinking they are men. In fact, the world over just will not accept the indoctrination of children into the homosexual and transgender agenda either. The latest Disney Buzz Lightyear movie has been an utter failure because of a same-sex kiss depicted within the animated movie. Normal heterosexual men and women are getting sick and tired of sexualizing children in today's liberal climate of "grooming." Over the past couple years there have been unrelenting efforts to "groom" children sexually, and in doing so, they become psychologically damaged adults. Ineffective as emotionally and intellectually intelligent free-thinking individuals that will be productive members of society. Rather, they will be born and bred democrats voting for them without a thought of what it will do to them in the future. Fact is, to destroy a populace, a county, is to destroy the adults as children before they become adults. It makes invasion easier for stronger countries who would destroy said country they hate. As of late, America has been producing pussies. Too many in fact. America is the last greatest country, and if we fail, if we fall...no country is going to air drop food, medical supplies and weapons. No one. As such, there will be no other place to escape to; precisely because there is no other country in this world that is freer or more secure than America. But because America is free, too many within this country take their freedoms for granted. And it is precisely that reason this country is failing. Evidence of this? Everything that has happened since George Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl blamed on a knee on the base of the neck (that no one can proved caused his death) of a black criminal who wanted to be on the ground in the first place. Now statues are erected of him, and police are castigated. America is doomed.

Shaun King Benjamin Crump Al Sharpton Jesse Jackson These are but a few names of anti-white & anti-law enforcement race baiting grifters concocting false narratives to drive their divisive narratives purely for money. First and foremost is Shaun King, a white man who claims to be half black by throwing his mother under the bus with accusations of her having an affair with a "light skinned black man." Yet his birth certificate, and family photos, show him to be nothing but a Caucasian male. Even his own family members affirm he is white. His real name is "Jeffrey Shaun King," but he dropped the Jeffrey to make his name sound more, well, I don't know. It doesn't make his name sound anymore "black," or African, that's for sure. Jeffrey has a litany of false narratives, false accusations, and insurmountable lies about his motives, failed business ventures and finances under his belt. Two of the most egregious false narratives/accusations he has made involve a little black girl murdered in crossfire at a Wal-Mart parking lot, and a Texas State Trooper being accused of kidnapping and rape of a black woman. Shaun King's lies lead to a bittersweet end for both the man he falsely accused and the actual shooters; afterwards Shaun dropped the story like a nuclear potato. Bitter for the man he falsely accused, and sweet for the actual two black men who shot and killed Jazmine. Shaun King and the Surprising End Result of the Jazmine Barnes Investigation Man, who Shaun King Falsely Accused of shooting Jazmine Barnes commits Suicide Then there is the innocent Texas State Trooper that he pushed, and pushed hard, the false narrative that Sharita Dixon-Cole was kidnapped and raped by that Trooper. King pushed so hard that it even brought infamous civil rights attorney Lee Merrit into the fray. And it wasn't enough that Shaun King falsely accused the Trooper of the crimes Sherita claimed, but another trooper in the same state with a similar name faced death threats over the case. A fact all too common with fallacious claims put forth by Shaun King. But where Lee Merritt apologizes for the fallacious claims, Shaun King claims to be a victim in the matter. A total intellectual coward move on his part, but what else is new. Jeffrey is, by definition, an intellectual coward. What makes the Sherita Dixon-Cole case even more absurd is the fact that she will escape any charges. That is, by definition, #blackprivilege. But before Sherita there was Crystal Magnum, the infamous stripper who falsely accused five members of a Durham/Raleigh, NC LaCrosse team of raping her at a Frat Party. Al Sharpton came to her defense, and Jesse Jackson paid for her future education. Low and behold, she got off on all false (criminal) charges only to end up stabbing her own boyfriend and going to jail. The following is a litany of negative press, believable accusations, and substantiated allegations against #FRAUD Jeffrey "Shaun" King: Black Twitter calls out Shaun King after he deactivates his social media accounts Shaun King Say's He is Moving out of His Swanky $840k House After Fraud Allegations A community word about Shaun King #SitDownShaun The Shaun King We're Not Talking About Shaun King threatens to sue activists who accuse him on Twitter of mishandling fundraisers An Open Letter from former Directors of Justice Together Where did all the money Shaun King raised for Black Lives Matter Go?

A civil rights attorney who makes millions off the misery of alleged black victims while making false allegations against white people, law enforcement and the criminal justice system. One of his biggest supporters is, none other than MSNBC #racist Joy Ann Reid and liberal pundit Elie Mystal. Ben Crump is just another profiteer like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, without question. Nevertheless, Crump is just another evil black profiteer like the founders of BLM, he makes his money off the misery of those he claims to defend. Gets rich off their misery and lives a lavish lifestyle at their expense. Ben Crump is an Ambulance chaser of any incident where a black person is a victim. Even if he exploits those victims for his own gain, which is typical of those professing to be saviors of blacks in America. Sad, but it is an all too common tragic tale of black Americans where one takes advantage over another for personal gain. Like Shaun King, Crump denies, refuses to acknowledge, and epically fails to address any transgression against a black victim when the perpetrator is black. When it comes to white victims by black perpetrators, he triples down on that denial, refusal and failure to address that transgression. There is no money in it. No fifteen minutes of fame. And when a black person is shot and/or killed by a law enforcement officer but there is evidence that the person shot provoked that response, Crump, a non-trained criminal attorney, but more importantly a non-trained law enforcement officer, just simply creates fictions about the officer's actions conveniently leaving out what the black suspect did leading up to being shot, falsely accusing the officer of illegal acts that go against department policy and the law. Benjamin Crump: A Legacy of Lies and Racial Division Ben Crump is the most Dangerous Man in America - a Man who is Destructive through his Lies Benjamin Crump - Attorney and Manipulative Liar ... The Modern Al Sharpton Candace Owens: Attorney Ben Crump is a Race Hustler like Sharpton, Jackson Florida Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump Falsely Claims Columbus Shooting Victim was Unarmed Benjamin Crump is an Agent and a Fraud (language warning) The Abysmal Record of Benjamin Crump Cop shot by Breanna Taylor's boyfriend blasts 'grimy' attorney Ben Crump in new book Ben Crump's Race Riots are Just getting Started Finally, when it comes to Al Sharpton and Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson, no words are necessary. It is above and beyond common knowledge the depth of their race baiting and charlatan grifting ways of making money off those they profess to defend and protect. Neither have made any significant positive impact to and for the black community. None. Al Sharpton is a Huge Fraud Al Sharpton's Rap Sheet Al Sharpton, Civil Rights Fraud Stores that pay Al Sharpton Hush Money MSM Continues to Cover up Al Sharpton's Racism, Homophobia, Misogyny, and Antisemitism Al Sharpton is a Race Man and a Fraud Al Sharpton's Ugly History of Opportunism and Bigotry What is Al Sharpton's Net Worth? Shakedown King Jesse Jackson Quacks Up Why Martin Luther King Distrusted Jesse Jackson Take that Sharpton! Jesse shakes down INTEL Jesse Jackson's ties to terrorists exposed Unmasking Jesse Jackson Jesse Jackson Says Organization Will Pay Alleged Rape Victim's Tuition (Crystal Magnum) I could go on and on with fact-based truths about both #fraud Al Sharpton and #shakedownartist Jesse Jackson. But again, their litany of race baiting to enrich their own lives is well known and common knowledge. Taking their place present day is Benjamin Crump and Jeffrey King passing himself off as biracial when he is 100% Caucasian. Both #grifters taking millions off the misery of alleged black victims.

DiAngelo kicks this chapter off with one of the most incredibly ridiculous statements: "But systems of oppression are deeply rooted and not overcome with the simple passage of legislation." This idea, that "legislation" is the cure all for the ills of the world, is wholeheartedly misguided. No amount, strength, or reach of so-called legislation can or ever will change any level of "oppression" as such oppression is rooted in human behavior. Laws cannot change human behavior directly, but if carefully crafted they can change them indirectly. But this is for another blog, not this one. "One line of King's speech in particular -- that one day he might be judged by the content of his character and not the color of his skin -- was seized upon by the white public because the words were seen to provide a simple and immediate solution to racial tensions: pretend that we don't see race, and racism will end." False equivalency fallacy. Focusing on the inherent positive attributes of an individual that they have to offer to better their lives and the lives of others through their employment is in no way shape or for a way for white people to "pretend that we don't see race, and racism will end." This gives credence to the saying one can be so educated and smart but yet be so damn utterly stupid. DiAngelo then makes this spurious claim: "... a common response in the name of color blindness is to declare that an individual who says that race matters is the one who is racist. In other words, it is racist to acknowledge race." Context matters. So yeah, depending on the context in which one acknowledges race it can in fact be racist. That's not rocket science, that's common sense. Well, at least for the literate and educated. "While the idea of color blindness may have started out as a well-intentioned strategy for interupting racism, in practice it has served to deny the reality of racism and this hold it in place." Color blindness was the goal, not the strategy. The end result was to see everyone as equals and focus on merit and not skin color. It is to white guilt liberals and black democrats that kept racism alive, especially the race hustlers like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and militant blacks like Louis Farrakhan and the Black Panthers. They were the ones truly resistant to change and wanted nothing to do with a color-blind society. They needed to keep fanning the flames in order to make money for themselves off the misery of those they claim to represent. "Racial bias is largely unconscious, and herein lies the deepest challenge - the defensiveness that ensues upon any suggestion of racial bias." We are all born empty slates, racism is taught not inbred. Like all stereotypes, biases, defense mechanisms, etc., the innate survival mechanism determines what is a threat and what is not. Personal experience. Vicarious experience. Academic experience. Professional experience. All, some or parts inform us through one measure of experience what is and what is not a danger to our survival. And when half the black male population commits over 50% of the entire US populations violent person crimes (e.g., murder, non-negligent manslaughter, robberies, rape, etc.), it is perfectly logical and understandable to fear black men. Even Jesse Jackson was famously quoted fearing for his life when he heard footsteps behind him on a street, only to feel relief when he turned around and saw it was a group of white people. If a race hustler like Jackson can feel fear from other blacks, that alone speaks volumes about this problem that has nothing to do with any racist bias but a reality bias for self-preservation. "Research in implicit bias has shown that perceptions of criminal activity are influenced by race." "White people will perceive danger simply by the presence of black people; we cannot trust our perceptions when it comes to race and crime." "Racist images and resultant white fears can be found at all levels of society, and myriad studies demonstrate that whites believe that people of color (and blacks in particular) are dangerous." No, fact-based data regarding the demographics of offenders is what influences the perceptions of criminal activity based on race. As aforementioned, black males, that is half the black male population in the United States (approximately 3% of their 6% of the total 14% black population) commits over 50% of the entire nation's violent person crimes (e.g., murder, non-negligent manslaughter, robberies, rape, etc.). But more than that, personal experience as victims of crime, black or white, substantiates that bias. Especially given the fact that intraracial violence is nothing short of an epidemic in inner city black communities. Blacks in this country are violent, and they cause a disproportionate amount of both violent person and property crime in this country. The recent summer #BurnLootMurder riots of 2020 prove that, in addition to any and all race-based riots from Rodney King forward. Such race-based riots simply do not happen when white people are victims of either black murderers like this (every year blacks kill more whites than vice versa), or by cops. And a recent Washington State University study has proven that law enforcement are less likely to pull the trigger on a black suspect than they are white or Hispanic suspects. "Whites rarely consider how sheltered and safe their spaces may be from the perspective of people of color (e.g., Trayvon Martin's experience in a gated white community). Because it reverses the actual direction of racial danger, this narrative may be one of the most pernicious." Yeah so sheltered that many, and I mean many blacks leave the inner city (i.e., hood) and move into predominately white neighborhoods because they want to be subjugated to that reversal "direction of racial danger." I am sure that that is exactly what #grifter #fraud #charlatan #BurnLootMurder founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors thought when she bought million dollar homes among whites and the rich and famous. Give me a break, DiAngelo. "We believe we are superior at a deeply internalized level and act on this belief in the practice of our lives, but we must deny this belief to fit into society and maintain our self-identity as good, moral people." It does not matter what I, you, we, them or anyone "believes," feels, or thinks. The only thing that matters is what can be proven. Your subjective spurious claims cannot be proven on the scale that you infer them. Fact is, a history of personal and vicarious experience (i.e., through reported data obtained through research) is what is used to prove that some races are simply just smarter and better than others. Asians being at the top of that list, and blacks and other people of color at the bottom of that list. This reality has nothing to do with racism, a "belief" that one race is superior to another, it is a fact proven by the data. The various races have simply tested academically, and professionally, differently from the other. While there are obvious exception to the rule, those exceptions are not the rule. "To understand how white people become so difficult in conversations about race, we need to understand the underlying foundation of white fragility; how being white shapes our perspectives, experiences and responses." There is no such thing as white fragility, let's get that clear. That is a made-up term spawned from white guilt liberals such as DiAngelo. Every child, regardless of any demographic background, is born a blank slate. Racism is learned, just like anything and everything else in interactive social life of human societies. It is not an innate factor of being a human being. But through constant bombardment of suttle and overt messages indoctrinating children, they learn to become what those messages are designed to illicit. "... whiteness has psychological advantages that translate into material return." No, it does not. People, regardless of background, have to earn their way in life, and they only get out of it what they put into it. Period. Justice Clarence Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, John McWhorter, Thomas Sowell, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, former Officer Brandon Tatum, and so many others prove this salient fact of life. It is the victimhood mentality that creates barriers to the material returns in life, not whiteness or blackness. "Another way that life has been shaped by being white is that my race is held up as the norm for humanity." Whiteness, or Caucasians are not the norm for humanity. What is the norm include but are not limited to integrity, honesty, loyalty, law abiding, hardworking, and all the other like-positive attributes of humanity. How one chooses to live their life is on them and it has nothing to do with whiteness, blackness, or anything else other than individual desires to be good, bad or a little of both to their own self-serving ends. "Virtually any representation of human is based on white people's norms and images - 'flesh colored' makeup, standard emoji, depictions of Adam and Eve, Jesus and Mary, educational models of the human body with white skin and blue eyes." If black skin was the predominate color of human beings on this planet who have created new advancements and moved the world forward, then any representation of human would be based on black skin and brown eyes. Whatever or whomever is the dominates feature in any aspect of the world and our human existence will likewise be equally represented the norms and images put out for consumption. That is just a fact of life. "White solidarity requires both silence about anything that exposes the advantages of the white position and tacit agreement to remain racially united in the protection of white supremacy." Please. Replace white with black and it means the same thing. Every racial group has solidarity, and each has its own culture and heritage they are proud of. It is their individual and collective right to be who they are without worry of an outside group criticizing them for being who and what they are by race, heritage, culture and/or religion (if applicable). "Romanticized recollections of the past and calls for a return to former ways are a function of white privilege, which manifests itself in the ability to remain oblivious to our racial history." Really? So, whose idea was this: Then you have authors who have studied/researched and written about this: Neither of these realities have anything to do with white privilege but rather personal choice of the individual(s) involved. As of late, blacks and other people of color, but namely blacks are self-segregating themselves. They are being far more outspoken in the media, books, talk shows, pundits, etc. in open ways on par if not more so than what the Klu Klux Klan were. Joy-Ann Reid, Elie Mystal, Al Sharpton, Ben Crump, Louis Farrakhan, Nicole Hannah Jones, and so many more are exercising their #blackprivilege to be outwardly #racist towards #whites, #Asians, and anyone else not #black. Especially if they do not agree with their position(s), which definitely includes other blacks for whom they ascribe the label Uncle Tom, race traitor, coon, so on and so forth. "Claiming that the past was socially better than the present is also a hallmark of white supremacy." Are you kidding me!?! The past was socially better than the present, and none of it has to do with white supremacy. People were more respectful, kind, compassionate, honest, cooperative and exhibited all the other positive attributes of humanity. None of which is a hallmark of white supremacy, but rather our capacity to be "human." "The romanticized 'traditional' family values of the past are also racially problematic." Really? Before civil rights, black families maintained a nuclear family and the abortion rate was at or below 22%. Despite racism and Jim Crow, blacks were prosperous. The very first woman to become a millionaire in this country was a black female, Madam CJ Walker. The first renowned black doctor, Dr. James McCune Smith, worked hard and attained his position before slavery even ended. How did either one of them, or any successful black American throughout history ever achieve such success despite so many "racially problematic" obstacles? Faith. Motivation. Perseverance. Devotion. Integrity. More importantly, personal responsibility and accountability. "White flight may be seen as another aspect of white racial innocence, as it is often justified by beliefs that POC (again, especially blacks) are more prone to crime and that if "too many" black people move into a neighborhood, crime will increase, home values will go down, and the neighborhood will deteriorate." Truth to be told, this is about the only factually accurate statement DiAngelo makes in the entire book. And it isn't an issue or matter of belief, as it doesn't matter what one believes, feels or things but rather what can be proven. The historical data proves factually accurate that when blacks moved near or into better neighborhoods, they soon declined due to the criminality brought to it. It is the very reason or basis of the "broken windows" theory. Something that DiAngelo clearly knows nothing of seeing as she is neither a criminologist nor has had any experience in the field to know one way or the other. Hence her lack of an argument to substantiate her spurious anti-white position regarding her assertion. "For most whites, the percentage of young men of color in a neighborhood is directly correlated with perceptions of the neighborhood crime level." DiAngelo just does not speak for "most whites" or even a few whites; but regardless of that obvious fact, the criminological data affirms such a perception making it more of a reality that fantasy. The fact is and has been for decades that half the black male population in this country commits over 50% of the entire nation's violent person crimes. That's just a fact. There is no way around it. "Deeply held white associations of black people with crime distort reality and the actual direction of danger that has historically existed between whites and blacks." Crying (Wolf Syndrome) racism doesn't change the aforementioned fact either. It just screams your ignorance when you do so. After all it is precisely why Jesse Jackson was quoted as saying he is always relieved to turn around in a dark alley seeing a group of whites than blacks when hearing footsteps approaching him from behind. Whites are not prone to attack a black man walking alone, but a group of black men will most certainly do so. Which is precisely why intraracial violence within black communities is such a problem in inner cities. "It has been well documented that blacks and Latinos are stopped by police more often than whites are for the same activities and that they receive harsher sentences than whites do for the same crimes." Nothing like a non-criminologist opining on criminal justice matters she clearly has no comprehension thereof. Blacks and Hispanics commit a disproportionate amount of crime compared to whites; and they likewise have longer criminal histories than whites charged with the same crime. It is for that very reason, criminal history, that goes into implementing sentencing harsher for blacks and Hispanics because that is exactly what the sentencing guidelines dictate. Blacks and Hispanics are just far more violent than whites. US DOJ Statistics on Race and Ethnicity of Violent Crime Perpetrators "American police must face down armed violent criminals. That’s their job. Often those violent threats come from young, male, urban African Americans. As long as that is the case there will be violent confrontations between police and black civilians. Increasing the number of black police officers won’t change this. Nor will study commissions, police budget reductions, chokehold prohibitions, or the elimination of qualified immunity from civil suits, to mention a few of the proposals to curb police being bandied about. Some of these proposals may be wise, some not. But none will dramatically reduce the number of violent confrontations between police and African Americans." ~ The Facts on Race, Crime, and Policing in America "There is no doubt that African-American juveniles are more likely than Caucasian juveniles to be arrested for serious (index) violent offenses in the United States (homicide, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault)." ~ How can the relationship between race and violence be explained? I can go on and on and on citing study after study, fact after fact outlining just how blacks, black males specifically, are just more prone to violence and a problem for society despite being such a small percentage of the overall population. But the one thing that bothers me is the consistent erroneous citation that black Americans are 13% of the population committing X crimes. That just isn't the case. While black Americans are 13% of the US population, it is predominately black males committing the crimes. Not all black males, obviously, but statistically it is about half the black male population, which is 6%. That means roughly 3% (or less) of the black male population is committing more than half the heinous violent crimes in the United States and have been for decades. "Life in the United States is deeply shaped by racial segregation." That goes without saying, as all races have a natural proclivity to congregate together versus mingling together. That is both a fact and just human nature. Trying to make it into some "racist" narrative is counterintuitive and counterproductive to the realities of humanity. We all just associate with whom we choose to associate with. That's life. Like it or not, it is what it is. "Of all racial groups, whites are the most likely to choose segregation and are the group most likely to be in the social and economic position to do so." Psychology tells us that we all desire to congregate with those most like us. That's not segregation. That's choice. The same as blacks choosing to congregate with those most like them. As cited above, "why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria." "Meritocracy is a precious ideology of the United States, but neighborhoods and schools are demonstratably not equal, they are separate and unequal." "Tax bases, school resources, curricula, textbooks, opportunities for extracurricular activities, and the quality of the teaching staff differ widely between school districts." Not by design, but rather by circumstances of each district. Schools are placed in areas to service the nearby homes within that district. Schools that are built to service the inner-city districts lack funding precisely because the property taxes are relative to the value of the homes in those districts. Those homes have low values due to the fact that the neighborhoods are rundown and high in crime. No one can afford to fix up their homes in order to increase their value. No one will cooperate with law enforcement against those who trespass and commit crimes against thy neighbors. So, there is no interest by anyone, anywhere to improve these districts. As such, the county cannot increase the property taxes since the value of the homes do not support it. Without an increase in that primary source of funding, the inner-city schools suffer; that fact of reality has nothing to do with meritocracy, inequality and/or racism and everything to do with the residents (to include parents of kids attending those schools) just not caring about their home, their neighborhood and equally the very schools they depend on educating their children. Regarding districts that are predominately white having better funding, resources, etc., it goes without saying that the homes being assessed property taxes are of higher value because the owners take pride in not only their homes, but also in their neighborhoods and cooperate with law enforcement in order to keep crime down; thereby making their districts desirable places for others to live and move into. Again, none of that has anything to do with racism and everything to do with personal responsibility and accountability. Something of which the inner-city neighborhoods just lack, collectively and individually, making it tougher on themselves internally which affects them externally. DiAngelo then uses a quote from an African American scholar and filmmaker, Omowale Akintunde to support more of her nonsensical tripe: "Racism is a systemic, societal, institutional, omnipresent, and epistemologically embedded phenomenon that pervades every vestige of our reality." Racism is a part of our very existence as human beings, for there is no one group that does not feel more superior over another. So yes, racism is a part of our reality, but it doesn't have to be. Racism is learned, it is not intrinsic. Which is a salient point that scholar Thomas Sowell made regarding blacks who remained in Europe post WWII and had children. Those children grew up with their white counterparts and had absolutely no difference in IQ or educational success. The question then becomes what happened in America where there was a difference with blacks scoring lower and being less successful academically. Answer: Black Culture. "In a society in which race clearly matters, our race profoundly shapes us." Well of course it does due to the fact that the left, democrats and race hustlers make race the central theme of everyday life in America; and more often than not where it most definitely simply does not exist or needs to exist. "Those who claim to have been taught to treat everyone the same are simply telling me that they don't understand socialization." "... we wouldn't want to treat everyone the same because people have different needs and different relationships." OMG! When people say they have been taught to treat others the same as they themselves would like to be treated is about showing compassion, empathy, respect and kindness. It has nothing to do with "socialization" or kowtowing to the "different (personal) needs and different (personal) relationships" of others. Those matters are of a personal nature, in other words, personal responsibility and accountability. Outsiders have no say or play in those personal matters. "Many POC have told me that they initially tried to talk about racism with their white friends, but their friends get defensive or invalidated their experiences, so they stopped sharing their experiences." This anecdotal evidence without any real legitimate references or citations is meaningless. While I served in the US Army, I had a close relationship with a black soldier serving on the Drug Suppression Team under the Criminal Investigation Division. One day he came to my office and gleefully made his presence known, "What's up my Ni**er!!" I was shocked. I asked him, "What did you say!?!" He repeated himself and said it was "cool" cause we are friends. I candidly replied that while we were friends and colleagues, there was no way I would refer to him the same and I didn't want him doing it with me, as I had too much respect for him. He understood and appreciated it. Bottom line, whites do not get defensive or invalidate anything...that is an empty claim that simply cannot be proven by DiAngelo. She only asserts it because of its appeal to emotion and ignorance value. "While a white person may have been picked on - even mercilessly - by being in the numerical minority in a specific context, the individual was experiencing race prejudice and discrimination, not racism." Wow. Just wow. At this point, might as well ask DiAngelo, "What is a Woman?" She could no more answer that question than she can what the factually accurate definition of "racism" is. When a black man feels superior to a white man, that [is] racism. And that level of racism I experienced while serving in the US Army while stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I know racism as a white male in this country. From both blacks, Hispanics and others. But I did not let it keep me down. No. Merit. I persevered. I succeeded in life and retired at the young age of 45. Not entirely by choice, more medically; but the choices I made in life made it possible for me to do so at that age. I took personal responsibility and accountability for my behaviors and choices, or rather didn't make piss poor choices by acting with bad behaviors. Most POC can and never will say the same. That's just a fact and has absolutely nothing to do with race. "While it isn't comfortable for most whites to talk about racism, we must do so if we want to challenge - rather than protect - racism." *Roll eyes* Whites do talk about racism and want to; but when they speak the truth, they are relentlessly crucified with the accusation of being "a racist." I know, as I deal with on a daily basis online, be it Twitter, Instagram or Facebook (among other social media sites). Truth is a cancer to those in utter ignorant denial of that truth. The social media platforms do not like the truth either. I have been kicked off Twitter three times, Instagram four times and Facebook two times. It is an utterly pathetic display of intellectual cowardice on their part. Each and every time it was because I cited fact based criminological data affirming that less than half the 6% population of black males were committing over 50% of the entire nation's murders and non-negligent manslaughters, in addition to being overrepresented in mass shootings as well. Fact. Truth. And I even appealed to Twitter and Instagram and was denied. Truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth. "Racism is complex and nuanced, and its manifestations are not the same for every group of color." Naturally. Other groups of color do not focus on racism like black Americans do, especially the left, Democrats and race hustlers who make it their mission in life to "Cry Wolf" (racism) any and every chance they get. "Exploring our collective racial identity interrupts a key privilege of dominance - the ability to see oneself only as an individual. We need to discuss white people as a group - even if doing so jars us - in order to disrupt our unracialized identities." Being an individual is not dominance, it is individuality, the core of our humanity. As individuals we are responsible for our own individual actions, choices and behaviors. Sadly, the left, Democrats and race hustlers absolutely refuse to hold people of color to the exact same level of personal responsibility and accountability they do upon whites. They hold whites to a higher standard while keeping POC at a lower standard. It serves their interests. Personal financial interests, that is. "... I believe that in the white mind, black people are the ultimate racial "other," and we must grapple with this relationship, for it is a foundational aspect of the racial socialization underlying white fragility." And yet that was never the same interpretation, application, thought process or otherwise in Europe after WWII, as Thomas Sowell so eloquently factually describes. "... anti-blackness is foundational to our very identities as white people." "Whiteness has always been predicated on blackness." These two statements in and of themselves are purely racist. More than that, whiteness is no more predicated on blackness than blackness is predicated on whiteness. What all our lives are predicated on is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on an individual level. What is good for one, is not always good for another. Or enough for one, or another. We all have "individual" desires. Again, Thomas Sowell has made it clear through decades of research that race has nothing to do with any issues between the races. Many black people are posting videos on YouTube of their reactions to learning these facts. I encourage others to check them out. The following are but a few examples: https://youtu.be/wuhYEsxDTlA https://youtu.be/XzxLk6iEWQI https://youtu.be/1MMAMlvepZw "Affirmative Action is a tool to ensure that qualified minority applicants are given the same employment opportunities as white people." This is patently false. Affirmative Action was designed to give a leg up to minorities. A leg up that did not account for their deficiencies in academics and/or professional experiences. The Ricci v. DeStefano case is a clear-cut case of reverse discrimination. "A 2015 study by the American Sociological Foundation found that the highest level of segregation is between black and whites, the lowest is between Asians and whites, and the level between Latinx and whites occupies an intermediate position. A majority of whites, in both the expression of their beliefs and the practice of their lives, do not want to integrate with blacks." The relationship between blacks and whites is far more contentious than the relationship between Asians and whites. Blacks harbor unsubstantiated paranoia about whites due to their inability to acknowledge let alone accept personal responsibility and accountability. As such, it draws deep resentment that results in blacks with their psychological projection of their problems and failures onto whites. A fact that remains true today. "We see anti-black sentiment in how quickly images of brutality towards black children (let alone black adults) are justified by the white assumption that it must have been deserved." Strawman Fallacy! Studies have shown time and again that behavioral issues with black children have been the cause of their punishment, NOT "brutality." "Thus, white identity depends in particular on the projection of inferiority onto blacks and the oppression this inferior status justifies for the white collective" "To put it bluntly, I believe that the white collective fundamentally hates blackness for what it reminds us of: that we are capable and guilty of perpetuating harm that our gains come through the subjugation of others." Cleary DiAngelo hasn't read let alone consulted The Bell Curve, which was a well-researched book on intelligence quotients. People of color, namely blacks, score lower on the academic scale. So, it is impossible for whites to "project" inferiority onto blacks, since blacks, in general, are less educated than whites and Asians. "We see it in the outrage of the crowd of white progressives who showed up to hear Bernie Sanders speak in Seattle and were asked by black activists to grant four and a half minutes of silence to honor Michael Brown..." Michael Brown? Really? He was a thug. He committed a strong-armed robbery of a convenience store for cigars, and then attacked a police officer who politely asked him to walk on the sidewalk versus the middle of the street. During the fight he tried to get the officer's service weapon. Michael Brown reaped what he sowed. And good riddance. Even the so-called "white progressives" (i.e. - white liberals) knew Brown was a POS not worth mentioning, let alone "honoring." "White racial socializations engenders many conflicting feelings toward African-Americans: benevolence, resentment, superiority, hatred, and guilt roil barely below the surface and erupt at the slightest breach, yet never be explicitly acknowledged." Um, the exact same thing can be said for blacks who self-segregate for this exact reason(s). This statement is one of pure #hypocrisy. "Most white people have limited information about what racism is and how it works." Clearly DiAngelo has never heard of the dictionary. Definition of racism 1: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race The rest of her book is pure garbage. I can go on and on and on dispelling her nonsensical positions and fallacious accusations against white people. Especially since it all comes from a white woman. A white guilt liberal woman, no less. * This Blog Entry is a work in progress, as time allows.

ANTIFA, BLM, Grooming LGBTQ+ all = the destruction of American Society This is but a small sampling of the liberals who wreak havoc upon innocent citizens across the country. These clowns were arrested in Portland, Oregon...no surprise. Liberals firebomb abortion clinics that provide a valuable service to the women of America. Mad Maxine Waters encourages (incites) a crowd of liberal democrats to confront, get in the face and harass conservatives and/or republicans. Liberals are purposely demonizing, intimidating and persecuting people whose politics they disagree with. They are inciting violence. And this is no joke: They are going to get someone killed. Whether it’s a Republican politician, or an ICE agent, or just a conservative in the wrong place, at the wrong time, wearing a red Trump MAGA hat.

I could easily begin this writing by describing my surprise at how so many liberals are buying into the ridiculous hype over this book, but that would be stating the obvious. The gross display of the bandwagon effect and its bus driver (Elie Mystal) driving his passengers further into ignorance of the US Constitution. Even more obvious is the fact that Mystal simply will not respond to any criticism of his book. His flagrant narcissism and lack of either academic or professional integrity simply will not allow him to admit that he is wrong on so many aspects he put forth in his book. Which makes him entirely incorrigible, shameless, stubborn, and wholeheartedly arrogant. Not to mention bigoted seeing as the entirety of the book is seen and written through the "Cry Wolf" #racism Syndrome. The following is, in part, my constructive criticism of his so-called guide to the US Constitution. A document he clearly does not understand in its making, design and the entirety of the debates and legislative history that went into its affirmation and the addition of the Bill of Rights (BOR). Chapter 2 focuses on the 1st Amendment of the BOR, which is clearly premised on "freedom of speech and expression," yet the entirety of the chapter is spent being critical of the "freedom of religion and exercise thereof" clause. The title infers bigotry is illegal even if Jesus orders you to do it. Well, that simply is not true. First off, bigotry is NOT illegal; and by extension neither is hate speech. Notwithstanding, basing the whole of this chapter on freedom of speech but premising it on freedom of religion results in a glowing false conclusion. Chapter 3, titled "Everything you know about the second amendment is wrong" is likewise based on a false premise, resulting in an equally achieved false conclusion. Within a few sentences he makes a completely false assertion about the events that took place at the Capital on January 6th. "Instead of using guns, the violent mob beat cops and killed one of them using blunt objects." No capital officer died that day. In fact, the only people that died that day were supporters of President Trump; specifically Ashli Babbitt. Mystal then rambles on about self-defense: "...self-defense is not mentioned once in the text of the Constitution." Neither is the right of women to have an abortion, yet Mystal is a staunch supporter of it, even citing the Constitution in support of it. But just like this book being seen and written through the prism of racism, he pulls the #racecard during his interview with none other than MSNBCs personal #bigot, Joy-Reid . Just because self-defense isn't mentioned doesn't mean it isn't intended, because it is in the historical context. In order for the people to defend a nation, we must first be able to defend ourselves. In other words, #selfdefense. Just like how women have the right to an abortion via the right to privacy in their medical status and decisions. Here is where Mystal really goes off the deep end regurgitating another poorly asserted argument through the prism of racism by Carol Anderson: "There was an original purpose to the Second Amendment, but it wasn't to keep people safe. It was to preserve white supremacy and slavery." This is so ridiculous on its face it is almost not worth dignifying with a response or retort, but prudence demands one. The root history of the second amendment can be traced back to free men defending their home, land and family rooted in self-defense (i.e. self-preservation). " The founding fathers drew from Biblical principles, English and American history, and English common law to present an amendment protecting the individual right of Americans to keep and bear arms. At its center lie two core principles upon which both the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence were founded: the law of self-government and the right of self-defense. The purpose of the Second Amendment was to promote peace, prosperity, and liberty, both by protecting one’s life and property from invaders and by lawfully resisting a tyrannical government." The Meaning, History, & Purpose of the Second Amendment ~ The Imaginative Conservative Mystal then "retorts" the following: " The Second Amendment is in the Constitution because Patrick Henry and George Mason won a debate against James Madison. Henry and Mason wanted the Second Amendment in there to guard against slave revolts" Complete rubbish! If that were even remotely true, then the amendment would reflect that in the language and it simply does not. See the above quote and cited links regarding the #TRUE history of the second amendment, which has absolutely nothing to do with "preserv(ing) white supremacy and slavery." This next statement just demonstrates the sheer ignorance of the intent and purpose (i.e. red herring fallacy ) of the second amendment on Mystal's part: "The Founders didn't know that guns would be used in over half of the nation's suicides." What do suicides have to do with the price of Tea in China! Nothing! Even back in the days of the Founders people used single shot pistols and even rifles to commit suicide. It is not as if the Founders were ignorant of the capacity for people to take their own life, as human beings have done so for centuries with whatever tools where at their disposal to see it through. This is a not only a non-academic argument, it is also a non-legal argument against the Second Amendment. In fact, it is a rather uneducated one for someone so educated. Mystal once again goes down the Cry Wolf racism Syndrome path with the following ridiculous notion: "Gun rights are not about self-defense. They literally never have been. Gun rights are about menacing, intimidating, and killing racial minorities, if necessary." Reading this it becomes painfully clear that #ElieMystal knows absolutely nothing about the #SecondAmendment. This position, clearly seen and written through a divisive and racial prism is so patently absurd that I am not going to dignify it with my own written response. Rather, I will just cite evidence that conclusively disproves Mystal's victimhood mentality version of the intent of self-defense and the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment and the Inalienable Right to Self-Defense Historical Roots of the Second Amendment Second Amendment: Doctrine and Practice "Noting that by the 1850s the perceived threat that the National Government would disarm the citizens had largely faded, the Court suggested that the right to keep and bear arms became valued principally for purposes of self-defense, so that the passage of Fourteenth Amendment, in part, was intended to protect the right of ex-slaves to keep and bear arms." To Bear Arms for Self-Defense Chapter 7 is about stopping police brutality, but with other similar arguments on point, he ultimately fails to substantiate it. His (and those like-minded) narrative simply cannot be substantiated given the objective facts disclose an undeniable truth that directly contradicts their narrative. His positions are based solely on claims of racism and pulls out the race card: "Make stopping people because they're black an "unreasonable search." "Make shooting people because they're black an "unreasonable seizure." "The unnecessary destruction of Black Lives would stop." "But applying the Fourth Amendment as I suggest would make police officers think twice before killing black children." Where to begin discrediting all this flagrant nonsense. Before I do let me make one obvious truth crystal clear: TRUTH does not equal racism. Truth may hurt, you may not like the truth, but your feelings and/or misconceptions about reality won't ever change the truth. What Mystal proffers in this chapter is pure fiction, as much of the rest of his book is. The following is fact-based truth, like it or not. Starting with the last quote regarding police shooting black suspects, Mystal's assertion is completely false. Washington State University completed a comprehensive study that demonstratabley proved that law enforcement officers are more hesitant to shoot black suspects versus whites and Hispanics. If and when police do shoot a black suspect, it is because they were forced to due to the actions of that suspect. When the video doesn't fit their narrative, anti-cop protesters refuse to believe their own eyes "Mattson is guilty of nothing except electing to serve as a police officer during these woke times. He is also the “beneficiary” of slanted and loaded anti-police news coverage: the grist that helps to fuel activist rage. An armed white male shot while charging a police officer would never receive the level of press coverage or have clear-cut video footage of the appropriate dispensing of lethal force continue to be questioned." And yet Mystal's position on law enforcement and white Americans is that whites "want the police to be brutal," "white people want the police to act this way. They want them violent and unshackled from constitutional restraint." This is so ridiculous and just demonstrates that while he is so educated, he is also so incredibly stupid and quite obviously a bigot towards whites and law enforcement. The left, which includes some that I have seen on Twitter call Mystal "Black Jesus" refuses to read fact-based truth and accept the reality that Mystal is just wrong. The fact that the emotions interjected in the left's arguments resulting in their aggressive knee-jerk reactions simply will not change the truth. That truth being that they are wrong, that their emotive retorts are not supported by fact-based truths. The Toxic Narrative about the Police is Wrong "The data on police use of force predominantly reveal professionalism and restraint. Yet, as with so many aspects of America’s criminal-justice reform debate, context and nuance are regularly cast aside in favor of obfuscation and mischaracterization." A poignant truth about the black community that the left simply refuses to acknowledge let alone accept is the fact that half the black male population (3% of the total 6% total of the black male American population) commit over 50% of the entire nation violent person crimes (e.g., murder, non-negligent manslaughter, robberies, rape, etc.). Black males commit a disproportionate amount of crime in general; and yet blacks consist of roughly 13-14% of the population. Police go where the crime is, not where it is not. Police operate on offender profiling to stop crimes before they happen, or to find those who committed a crime. If a part of that offender profile involves their race or ethnicity, that is an obvious demographic applicable to the profile and has absolutely nothing to do with racial profiling , which has been illegal for decades. Mystal's statements about stopping people, using deadly force, and the application of the Fourth Amendment is easily debunked here: "Fourth Amendment Constraints on Searches and Seizures The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protects “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” It does not specifically prohibit racial profiling, but courts would not consider stops and searches based solely on a subject’s race to be reasonable seizures because police have identified no individualized reason for suspicion. The Amendment has been interpreted to permit police to detain a person briefly for investigative purposes if an officer has a reasonable suspicion “that criminal activity may be afoot.” A mere “hunch” or inarticulable suspicion does not meet this standard. And “law enforcement officers must satisfy escalating legal standards of ‘reasonableness’ for each level of intrusion upon a person—stop, search, seizure, and arrest.” Courts have held that an officer cannot meet the Fourth Amendment standard by relying on a person’s racial appearance, alone, as grounds for reasonable suspicion. By contrast, the officer may use race, for Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov LSB10524 Congressional Research Service 2 example, searching for a person matching a suspect’s description and part of that description is the suspect’s race. That said, an officer’s groundless use of race by itself does not violate the Fourth Amendment; it is performing a search or seizure without individualized justification that violates this provision. As long as they can point to individualized justification, the personal motives of an officer are not a factor in the Fourth Amendment analysis. Police may pull over a driver for a traffic violation, even if they intend to search for drugs. The standard is an objective one. “[T]he constitutional reasonableness” of stops depends on the circumstances, not on the officers’ “actual motivations.” Racial Profiling: Constitutional and Statutory Considerations for Congress Now regarding Mystal's commentary about the unnecessary destruction of black lives via law enforcement interactions, it too is easily debunked. While half the black male population commits over 50% of the violent person crimes, of the victims of that violence, the vast majority are other blacks. Blacks also commit violent acts against other races more than vice versa. Blacks kill more whites every year than whites kill blacks. Blacks kill Asians more every year that vice versa. And blacks kill more blacks every year than any other race killing blacks. The only cause of the "destruction of black lives" is from other black lives taking other black lives. As such, the whole "Black Lives Matter" slogan is pure bullshit where blacks taking other black lives are concerned. Chapter 8 covers the Fifth Amendment and self-incrimination. Mystal believes and asserts the following: "Confessions should be unconstitutional. They shouldn't carry any force or effect. They shouldn't be used against defendants who recant later at trial." Even a lay person should read this and react with a face palm. This is just so obviously stupid it is hard to believe an educated person in the law would even make such a patently absurd argument. Gives meaning to how can smart people sometimes be so stupid!?! Mystal's reasoning behind this ridiculous assertion is the claim that confessions are obtained "sometimes coercively, sometimes violently, until they (the suspect) blurt out a statement against their own interests..." Now I will not deny that there have been some isolated case examples where police and prosecutors have been entirely too overzealous in their effort to solve a crime and hold someone accountable, but it is an exception to the rule. It is also an exception that doesn't just happen to people of color, it also happens to white people too. A recent and rather infamous example of that fact is the case of Steven Avery made notable by the Netflix series "Making a Murderer" Nevertheless, Mystal and the lefts claims regarding alleged police brutality is pure bunk and easily disprovable. Morality, Truth and the Police Brutality Narrative A look at the facts shows the left is propagating a false racist narrative Officer Lives at Risk Over False Narrative of Police Brutality Reviving the False Narrative on Police Narrative of Racist Police Killings Melts When You Know These Stats Numbers don't lie: New Study Upends Racist Cop Narrative Silence from New Rochell'e Elected Leaders on False Narrative from PBA on Police Brutality Video The Myth of Systemic Police Racism Barr says "epidemic" of police brutality against Black people is "false narrative" I could go on and on further debunking Mystal's racist anti-cop narrative, but I believe my point has been made. Chapter 12 focuses on the 14th Amendment, but one key part stood out for me. One sentence opining on the citizenship clause which is so wrong it is, well, just factually inaccurate. "Everybody born here is a citizen. Everybody. There are not people who are less citizens just because of where they came from, or how recently they became citizens, or where their parents were born." Mystal makes a very leftist simplistic argument with no foundation or basis in fact. Let me begin with what the 14th Amendment actually states, then I will explain why he is so very wrong in his interpretation of the citizenship clause. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Birthright Citizenship: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment "Sen. Lyman Trumbull, a key figure in the adoption of the 14th Amendment, said that “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. included not owing allegiance to any other country." Jurisdiction is the key word here, and the meaning within the context given, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." Based on legislative history and existing law prior to the 14th's passage: "The 14th was just an extension of existing law. In 1866 , two years before the 14th Amendment, by U.S. statute Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised defined who is a citizen: “All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power … are declared to be citizens of the United States”" Allegiance to a foreign power where one was born, or when one renounces their citizenship by declaring their allegiance to a foreign power is what establishes non-citizenship under the 14th where "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is concerned. When illegal aliens cross the border, for whatever reason (e.g., travel on a Visa, requesting asylum, etc.), and pop out a child, it is automatically assumed that that child is an American Citizen. Fact of the matter, and as a matter of legislative history and legal intent, that child is NOT an American Citizen. Why? Because its parent(s) are beholden with allegiance to a foreign power, the country that they themselves were born in and are a citizen thereof. Therefore, every single child born to foreign immigrants who entered this country either legally (Visa, Passport for vacation, etc.) or illegally, they child born on US soil simply is NOT an American Citizen. But Democrats have ignored the 14th Amendment and have, by political fiat, granted unjust and unearned citizenship to children born to aliens who are under the jurisdiction (political allegiance) to a foreign power/country. So, it does matter where a child's parents are born where the 14th citizenship clause is concerned. As for the rest of the "less of a citizen" or "how recently they became a citizen" (i.e., naturalization) nonsense, Mystal is just babbling nonsense here. He's just flat out wrong. He has demonstrated in this chapter he has absolutely no comprehension of the history or intent of the 14th Amendment and how one becomes a citizen of the United States of America. Chapter 14 is titled, "Reverse Racism is not a Thing," and begins with the following rant: "Speaking just for me, I'm prejudiced against dumb people...who have had all the education and knowledge thrown at them, only to see it bounce off their information-resistant brains." This is about the only passage in the book I found hilarious simply because it just oozes irony on the highest point on the Richter Scale. Again, for someone supposedly so well educated at Harvard College and Harvard Law School, he is incredibly dumb when it comes to the US Constitution, and his book proves that fact beyond any reasonable doubt. While Elie Mystal claims the Constitution is " kind of trash ", well, it is not; but his book is most definitely trash ! It is pure fiction. It is bigoted. It is racist. It is narcissistic. It is self-serving. It is not scholarly. It is not authoritative. It's pure rubbish. And anyone who believes anything in this book is as dumb as Mystal. In fact, they are dumber. But then again, it is easy to dupe the masses happily lining up to buy the snake oil from grifters like Mystal. Idiocy is contagious, and elitists like Mystal know that. It is exactly how race hustlers stay wealthy while those they profess to represent continue to suffer. Shame on Mystal. Shame on anyone buying into his bullshit criticism of the greatest document every produced in the world, the U.S. Constitution. The very document that gives him the freedom to trash talk it without any repercussion. Try that in China, Elie. *Initial Draft

This chapter is really problematics, in particular, and it starts off on the wrong foot with a factually inaccurate assertion grounded in the absurdity of wokeness. "Many of us have been taught to believe that there are distinct biological and genetic differences between races." "The idea of race as a biological construct makes it easy to believe that many of the divisions we see in society are natural. But race, like gender, is socially constructed." Race is no more of a social construct than gender is. There are biological differences between the races, that is just a scientific, anthropological, genetic, psychological, and physiological fact. The same as there are differences between genders, male and female, the only two genders on the planet. But I digress, the discussion on gender is for another blog, not this one. The following are biological differences between the races: IQ and Human Intelligence The Racial Divide: Genetic Differences between Races Race and Physical Differences Major Physical Characteristics of Racial Groups I can go on and on with factually accurate scientific data further debunking DiAngelo's fallacious assertion that race is socially constructed. It is not. It is rooted in scientific fact. As such, it is one of many concrete arguments that debunk the infamous Critical Race Theory (CRT). This next part of this chapter is so absurd it is laughable. "... the US economy was based on the abduction and enslavement of African people, the displacement and genocide of Indigenous people, and the annexation of Mexican lands." The US economy was NOT based on the abduction and enslavement of African people, period. Slavery actually hurt the US economy. The US economy was NOT based on the displacement and genocide of Indigenous people. They were just collateral damage in the name of human progress. Yes, that is a crass thing to say, but when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, that is what happened. The US economy was NOT based on the annexation of Mexican lands. All three of these failed assertions just do not substantiate the underlining claim. The US economy was built upon the industrial revolution. Entreprenurial ventures. Inventions. Progess. Real estate purchases. So on and so forth. As a so-called sociologist, DiAngelo put forth this absurd claim that racial inferiority was "created" in order to "justify unequal treatment" and likewise triggered it. This is so patently absurd on its face that it is just counterintuitive to reality. All human experience is rooted in observation. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to observe that an Asian child excels in school whereas an African student does not. That a white student excels whereas an African student does not. There is enough data that has been collected over the decades that firmly establish that blacks simply lag behind all other races. That is just a scientific fact. Racism has nothing to do with it. As I read on, I could not help but feel dumbfounded by the sheer ignorance of DiAngelo's juxtaposed concepts of racism, discrimination, and prejudice, all of her definitions were simply prima facie fallacious. Pure fiction, on her part. "Prejudice is pre-judgment about another person based on the social groups to which that person belongs." "Prejudice is foundational to understanding white fragility because suggesting that white people have racial prejudice is perceived as saying that we are bad and should be ashamed" "Most of us acknowledge that we feel some unease around certain groups of people, if only a heightened sense of self-consciousness." The following is a famous quote affirming a position held by the Reverend Jesse Jackson. "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved." Even Jackson knew that whites were far less harmful than black Americans, his own race. He knew too that intraracial violence was more of a problem for the black community than was any measure of white racism. Notwithstanding, DiAngelo once again gets the definitions of key terms in this debate/discussion all wrong. "To understand racism, we need to first distinguish it from mere prejudice and discrimination." No, we do not. Each term is inherently different at its core. Racism is a false belief that one race is superior to another with no basis in fact. Prejudice is just simply misconceived notions or unreasonable preconceived judgments for one thing over another. Discrimination is merely a distinction between unlike things. Things that one prefers over another due to inate desires. That's it. DiAngelo goes on to claim that "Discrimination is action based on prejudice. These actions include ignoring, exclusion, threats, ridicule, slander, and violence." Wrong. Discrimination is based in personal and vicarious experiences, not prejudice. One cannot be prejudiced if they know not that which has the potential to be a danger to them. Knowledge makes us aware of our surroundings beyond immediate perceptions. I could not help myself but laugh when DiAngelo wrote the following: "Most of us cannot acknowledge that we do feel some unease around certain groups of people, if only a heightened seance of self-consciousness" Read her statement again and consider what Reverend Jesse Jackson declared he felt relieved when he turned around in a dark alley to realize it was white people. versus blacks. "Discrimination is action based on prejudice. These actions include ignoring, exclusion, threats, ridicule, slander, and violence." No, discrimination is not action based on prejudice. Discrimination is the cognizant ability to make informed distinctions or informed judgments. What DiAngelo should have said was Stereotyping is an action based on prejudice, as both require an uninformed, irrational reaction to a thing, something, or someone. "Most of us can acknowledge that we do feel some unease around certain groups of people, if only a heightened sense of self-consciousness." The following is a famous quote from Reverend Jesse Jackson: Anyone and everyone can acknowledge that they feel some unease around certain, or even from members of their own group of people. His fear is substantiated by decades of criminological data that firmly establish a certain segment of the black male community are incredibly violent, as Jesse Jackson well knows. "Everyone has prejudice, and everyone discriminates." That goes without saying, DiAngelo. Whites, blacks, browns, yellow, red... everyone discriminates but not without actual justification. A justification that even Jesse Jackson knows all too well. "Racism is a system." That statement is patently absurd on its face and counterintuitive to common sense. Let us look at the definition of racism and system, respectively. Racism - noun a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. System - noun an assemblage or combination of things or parts forming a complex or unitary whole:a mountain system; a railroad system. any assemblage or set of correlated members:a system of currency; a system of shorthand characters. an ordered and comprehensive assemblage of facts, principles, doctrines, or the like in a particular field of knowledge or thought:a system of philosophy. a coordinated body of methods or a scheme or plan of procedure; organizational scheme:a system of government. any formulated, regular, or special method or plan of procedure:a system of marking, numbering, or measuring; a winning system at bridge. due method or orderly manner of arrangement or procedure:There is no system in his work. Racism and System are mutually exclusive terms. Racism is purely an unfounded belief in superiority. A system is more ordered, informed, specific and with purpose. There is no purpose to racism. There is purpose to an efficient system. Racism does not make or equate to that of an actual system, by definition and/or purpose. The following passages from this chapter are patently absurd and draw absolutely false conclusions. "The system of racism begins with ideology, which refers to the big ideas that are reinforced throughout society." "These ideas are also reinforced through social penalties when someone questions an ideology and through the limited availability of alternative ideas." "Examples of ideology in the United States include individualism, the superiority of capitalism as an economic system and democracy as a political system, consumerism as a desirable lifestyle, and meritocracy (anyone can succeed if he or she works hard)." The glowing irony here is dumbfounding. The United States is the greatest social, cultural and self-governing experiment the world over. It is the pinnacle of the world where anyone and everyone wants to come here because of this country's successes and aforementioned ideologies. America is a success because of those ideologies. And yet DiAngelo decries we failed and because of America's greatness via those ideologies, that racism is still as bad as it was since the first African slave landed on the shores of the Eastern coast. What a joke. DiAngelo then goes off the rails with this crazy statement... "People of color [may] also hold prejudices and discriminate against white people, but they lack the social and institutional power that transforms their prejudice and discrimination into racism; the impact of their prejudice on whites is temporary and contextual." Temporary? Contextual? How temporary or contextual is this: Celebrities who got fired for "alleged" racism SDG&E Employee Fired Over Alleged White Supremacist Hand Sign is a Latino I could go on and on and on with one example after another of the bullshit trumped up fallacious allegations against any non-person of color (specifically blacks) that have been weaponized to destroy numerous innocent people's livelihoods and their family altogether. The factual inaccuracies and historical errors in this following statement are just bizarre: "Whites hold the social and institutional positions in society to infuse their racial prejudice into laws, policies, practices, and norms of society in a way that people of color do not." What a bunch of malarky. Blacks have been involved in social and institutional positions since the 1800s. Joseph Hayne Rainey - first black male Congressman, a republican, no less. There have been numerous people of color in the United States Congress, and yet the progressive left would have you believe otherwise. Mary Ellen Pleasant became one of the first black female millionaires, next to Madame C.J. Walker. Then there is Macon B. Allen, Lawyer and Teacher, one of the first black lawyers in this country. I could go on and on with a factually accurate historical recounting of all the people of color who made a very specific and direct impact in this country serving to categorically debunk DiAngelo's fallacious claims. But why bother, right? The leftists will just scoff at factually accurate historical truths. Those who hate the truth do so cause to them, truth sounds like hate. Therefore, they hate the truth. The rationale DiAngelo gives in this following statement is utterly dumbfounding. "People of color may also hold prejudices and discriminate against their own and their groups of color, but this bias ultimately holds them down and, in this way, reinforces the system of racism that still benefits whites." So, in other words, DiAngelo, a white woman, is ascribing the label of coon, Uncle Tom, sell out and the like to any person of color who rightly, intelligently, and factually calls out their own for the criminality and anti-social behavior that they exhibit and instill in their fatherless children, generation after generation. It is, factually, what leftist progressive white guilt liberals want. They are the true racists, not conservatives. Not honest innocent people of all colors trying to live their lives. Simply put, calling out those for their illicit behavior has nothing to do with racism, but everything to do with personal responsibility and accountability. The following claim by DiAngelo is so fallacious it is beyond fake. "Racism is a society-wide dynamic that occurs at the group level. When I say that only whites can be racist, I mean that in the U.S., only whites have the collective social and institutional power and privilege over people of color." Racism does not require group level participation. Any individual can and has the right to discriminate against those that are not a part of their group or personal persuasion; this is just a social-psychological fact of human interaction and groupthink. Moreover, blacks have as much social and institutional power as anyone else within their respective areas of their profession. In fact, as of late, blacks hold more collective social and institutional power and privilege over whites. "David Wellman succinctly summarizes racism as "a system of advantage based on race." These advantages are referred to as white privilege, a sociological concept referring to advantages that are taken for granted by whites and that cannot be similarly enjoyed by people of color in the same context (government, community, workplace, schools, etc.)." Well as previously detailed, Wellman needs to get a dictionary because that is not a summary or even a hint at what the actual definition of racism is. In short, he is factually inaccurate with that "summary." White privilege is a myth created by the left to deflect from personal responsibility and accountability from people of color. White privilege is just a myth, period. A "concept" is NOT a fact. It is at best a theory, at worst flatulence. The following are examples of actual privilege, black privilege, that gives blacks an advantage over whites: Being black gives you carte blanche to murder white people and the mainstream media, along with everyone else afraid to be called a "racist" turns a blind eye. Fact: less than 2-3% of the 13-14% black American population commits over 50% of the entire nation's homicides and non-negligent manslaughters. "A white college student was brutally stabbed to death by a black assailant last week, according to witnesses in a furniture store in Los Angeles, Calif." "Black man gets charged with murder after he killed white woman who was protesting for BLM." AND THE LIST goes on and on... Hell, even after the Wisconsin Christmas Parade assailant plowed through the crowd, that story was dropped like a hot potato within days. Why? Simple. He was black. #BlackPrivilege You can be a liar, antisemite, non-tax paying thief and shakedown companies for money over factually inaccurate claims of racism and get away with it, just like Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson and so-called Reverend Al Sharpton. Black Privilege. Sharpton bashes gays and STILL gets a television show on a cable network that champions LGBT rights. Go figure. "You can be arrested for crack cocaine possession and still finish your term as mayor." "You can threaten voters with bats at polling stations and never face prosecution by the DOJ" "You can be the first Representative to be censured by the House in 30 years for tax evasion and illegal campaign financing and still get reelected indefinitely" "You can be under investigation for voter registration fraud, have the entire warehouse of evidence be consumed in a mysterious fire, and get the investigation dropped." "You can sit in a Church for 20 years where the Pastor preached White Hate and Damned America and still become President of the United States." "You can make frequent trips to North Korea, hail the insane, murderous, tyrant of that country as a wonderful guy, and still be a loved celebrity in America." "You can trash a talented conservative black actress with hateful streams of racist and misogynistic threats and immediately go back to tweeting about the evils of racism and #waronwomen without being called a hypocrite." "You can wail about the injustice of one black youth being shot after attacking a Hispanic in Florida yet remain silent when 6 black youths beat a 78-year-old white man in revenge for that event." And last but not least (or the end of the exhaustive list), you can get caught in scandal after scandal, lie after lie, violate the Constitution, and break federal law with impunity without ever having to worry about being impeached. Obama ring a bell, anyone! This statement by DiAngelo is the crux of all white guilt mentality: "Being perceived as white carries more than a mere racial classification; it is a social and institutional status and identity imbedded with legal, political, economic, and social rights and privileges that are denied to others." Is it really? Or could it be because whites are simply not as violent as blacks and browns? Ever think of that! As previously stated, black males are roughly 6% of the 13-14% black American population and yet half that (3%) commit over 50% of the nation's murders and non-negligent manslaughters. Browns, the extremely violent gangs like MS-13 need no explanation. Their infamy with violence speaks for itself. While whites may be the dominate percentage of the nation's population, statistically whites are less violent than people of color. That is just a verifiable criminological fact. And that fact has nothing to do with "legal, political, economic, and social rights and privileges" since people of color, namely blacks, have absolutely far more "privilege" than whites do in this country. This statement is pure bullshit on its face. "To say that whiteness is a location of structural advantage is to recognize that to be white is to be privileged position within society and its institutions - to be seen as an insider and to be granted the benefits of belonging... This position automatically bestows unearned advantages." What a crock! I am white. I had absolutely no advantage despite growing up in a middle-class lifestyle. While my father provided for our family, he was not exactly responsible, and he was mentally abusive. I had no future in the town I grew up in, so I took personal responsibility and accountability for my future and made a choice. A choice that resulted in what has manifested into a prosperous future and a comfortable early retirement. None of that happened because I am white, it happened because I made it happen through the responsible choices I made. There are blacks with less who are more fortunate than I. Yet some of them have not been as fortunate as I simply because they made less than desirable choices with their life. "Whites control all major institutions of society and set the policies and practices that others must live by." ... "Whites also produce and reinforce the dominant narratives of society -- such as individualism and meritocracy -- and use these narratives to explain the positions of other racial groups." One of the most irritating positions people on the left argue is the fact that it lacks an understanding of proportionality of aggregate numbers compared to other numbers. When more than 70% of the total population is one particular race of individuals, it is not only logical but also common sense that that dominate part of the population will invariably control most of the institutions of that society and set policies, practices and make laws that others must adhere to, regardless of race, gender, creed, religion or otherwise. And what, precisely, is wrong or detrimental to individualism and meritocracy? The individual has a lot to offer not only themselves, but others as well as society on the whole BASED ON their merit. I mean, a corner street drug dealer has nothing to offer anyone but misery and eventually death; be it their own or those they affect directly and/or indirectly. But a man (or woman) who stays the course, works hard, takes care of those close to them, and makes a difference in the world has merit and value to society. Sadly, as of late the criminal scum like George Floyd are praised and honored with memorials and statues while those with actual merit and put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve are ridiculed, scorned and discarded (i.e., - assassinated) like trash. Why? Because of white guilt liberal rhetoric like this scam artist and black liberal democrats who swallow this tripe hook line and sinker. As a result, American are berated with the following nonsensical unsubstantiated garbage: "For sociologists and those involved in current racial justice movements, however, white supremacy is a descriptive and useful term to capture the all-encompassing centrality and assumed superiority of people defined and perceived as white and the practices based on this assumption." ... "White supremacy in this context does not refer to individual white people and their individual intentions or actions but to an overreaching political, economic, and social system of domination." Again, proportionality is set aside for a sweeping hasty generalization fallacious argument attacking white people on the whole, an ad hominem argument, basically. The clear opposition to "whiteness" is the fact that those who are categorically ascribed the label as being "white" are the very ones who have moved western culture in a positive direction socially, economically, legally, prosperously, and globally while others simply feel left out because they failed to contribute to their fullest potential. Their lack of participation and feeling helpless to do so fuels the victimhood mentality that they are bombarded with by their so-called community leaders, democratic politicians and mainstream media peddling racist division and messages that they are utterly failures because of their race. "(Charles) Mills makes two points that are critical to our understanding of white fragility. First, white supremacy is never acknowledged. Second, we cannot study any sociopolitical system without addressing how that system is mediated by race." When you break everything down by race, whether or not race is even a factor in that breakdown, all you do is sow the seeds of racial paranoia that fuels further racial division premised on purposeful disinformation. Thomas Sowell said it best... "Racism is not dead. But it is on life-support, kept alive mainly by the people who use it for an excuse or to keep minority communities fearful or resentful enough to turn out as a voting bloc on election day." The likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson, Joy-Ann Reid, Ben Crump, Jeffrey "Shaun" King, Lee Merritt, Don Lemon, Jussie Smollett, and many more who thrive off of racial division, both personally as well as financially at the expense of those that they claim to help. "White supremacy describes the culture we live in, a culture that positions white people and all that is associated with them (whiteness) as ideal." When someone creates something that benefits the majority, if not all of humanity, is it not helpful, beneficial...ideal? As aforementioned, those ascribed the categorical label of being white are the very ones who have made the world a better place for all, despite the hiccups and shortcomings along the way. In the end, the world has been made better by those, who despite their shortcomings, still are the ones who took charge and made a difference that was helpful, beneficial and ideal for all of humanity. To complain about such progress is not only counterintuitive, but also counterproductive to the end result of that progress that benefits us all. "White supremacy is more than the idea that whites are superior to people of color; it is the deeper premise that supports this idea -- the definition of whites as the norm or standard for human, and people of color as a deviation from that norm." White supremacy being more than an idea that whites are superior to people of color? Um, that is the textbook definition of racism. So why not just call it racism; why create another term to say the same thing? The way blacks have been acting in America over the past decade, it has become abundantly clear that they think and believe that their race is superior to all others, which makes them racist, or a black supremist. The belief that one person's race is superior to another is transmittable to/among all races, not just Caucasians. Therefore, all races have the capability to believe they are more superior to any and/or every other race. That's just a fact of human nature, and blacks and browns are not immune from that fact. "This does not mean that people of color do not play a part but that the full weight of responsibility rests with those who control the institutions." Last I checked many of the democratic ran cities that have been the center of controversy over the past decade have been ran/operated by people of color, namely black Americans. If blacks are in control of the institutions in Ferguson, Baltimore, so on and so forth...then what does that say about them when the system there fails black Americans? "If the schools in your area were racially segregated (as most schools in the US are), why didn't you attend school together? If this is because you lived in different neighborhoods, why did you live in different neighborhoods." Children do not have a choice where they live, nor what school they attend. But while they are in the school, they do have the choice whom they associate with or not to associate with. People in this country have the freedom of association, to choose who they want to be around or not be around. There is no law, rule or otherwise that forces anyone to hang with anyone they don't want to hang with. It is precisely why black children have begun to separate themselves from anyone and everyone not black. Take the following stories, for example: Segregated Proms Segregated Dormitories Segregated Housing Then there are books being written about this very same thing, once specific book was written by Beverly Daniel Tatum Ph.D., "Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" The hypocrisy of the left, white guilt liberals like DiAngelo, and racist black elitists who enjoy living off the misery of those they profess to help is beyond detrimental to this country.

Robin Diangelo, the author of "White Fragility," has made quite a name for herself writing a book that purports to address the difficulties in discussing matters of racism, targeting specifically white people as being the sole source of the problem. A problem she calls "The Devil. Racism. Another metaphor. Same difference." The foreword, written by Michael Eric Dyson, remarked that "white fragility...is an idea that registers the hurt feelings, shattered egos, fraught spirits, vexed bodies, and taxed emotions of white folk." As if Dyson couldn't be more bigoted with that statement alone, he went on further to erroneously claim the following: "In truth, their suffering comes from recognizing that they are white - that their whiteness has given them a big leg up in life while crushing other's dreams, that their whiteness is the dearest example of the identity politics they claim is harmful to the nation, and that their whiteness has shielded them from growing up as quickly as they might have done had they not so heavily leaned on it to make it through life." As of late, Dyson has become one of the most outspoken critics of white people putting him in the top five of racist bigots on television, with Joy-Ann Reid being #1. The previous comment(s) demonstrate nothing short of Dyson's psychological projection. One, well rather two of the most critical deficiencies in many, if not most of the rhetorical responses of black apologists is the fact that they never, ever hold their own accountable, personally or otherwise. There just simply is no personal responsibility or accountability within a certain segment of the black community. Despite Robin Diangelo and Michael Eric Dyson, among other white guilt liberals and black apologists, the fact remains that there is neither "white privilege" nor "white fragility." White people simply do not like talking about any subject matter that involves race simply because most blacks and other people of color (POC) are easily "offended" due to their emotive denial of both factually accurate world and American history. Moreover, the only privilege in this world is what an individual makes for themselves and their family. Nothing is handed to any normal person in America on a silver platter. That is reserved for the elitists who decry their struggles that make their life hard, while blaming those less fortunate than they for said struggles. Much of the premise behind this poorly written let alone incredibly unsubstantiated book by Diangelo rests on the following statement within the author's note (xiiii): "American wealth was built on the labor of kidnapped and enslaved Africans and their descendants." This spurious claim is entirely factually inaccurate. First and foremost, Africans put upon vessels to cross the Atlantic were not kidnapped by the owner(s) of those vessels, they were purchased. Purchased from African tribal lords who were the ones who actually kidnapped those enslaved and sold to the Dutch and Spaniards that brought them to the "New World." A world that included not only North America, but South America and the Caribbean islands where the vast majority of Africans were taken for slave labor. Less than 335,000 Africans were taken to the shores of North America. The remaining 10.7 million Africans that survived the Atlantic journey were taken to the latter locations. Of all the places Africans were taken worldwide for slave labor, there is no place, no country, where Africans and their descendants have had it best than in North America. And yet it is also the only place, the only country, where blacks scream the loudest about their past and wrongs done to them. Which is precisely why there is a large segment of the black population in North America that lags behind other black populations in other countries, to include Africa itself. Case in point, Africans who emigrate to the United States do far better 1st and 2nd (and so forth) generations than those Africans/blacks that are native born. Why is that? The answer will come in subsequent essays written and posted to this website. Please keep reading and learning from the information I intend to share here starting with the preposterous assertions put forth in "White Fragility" by Robin Diangelo. As time goes on, I will be reviewing other books and submitting essays on other subject matter related to the black American experience(s) in the United States.
