Every time I think the Black Lives Matter narrative can’t get more bizarre, they prove me wrong. The latest example of that is the death of 16 year old Ma’Khia Bryant. She was shot and killed by a Columbus, OH police officer as she was about to stab another black teenage girl. That’s no little pen knife in her right hand, that’s a five or six inch long deadly weapon. Instantly, the talking point pushed by various liberal commentators on various networks compared her knife attack as perfectly normal behavior, just a typical “schoolyard fight”, that happen all the time. It’s their culture. Ponder that for a moment. I’ll wait……….
Well, maybe it is a “cultural thing” in predominantly black neighborhood schools, but I find that hard to believe. Sure, there may have always been schoolyard fights, but they were mostly boy on boy, and the weapon used was fists, not deadly weapons. Public schools, particularly in Democrat controlled cities with large minority populations, have become almost war zones, not places of learning. The dropout rate is enormous, exceeding sixty percent in many school systems.
Add to that, the breakdown of the black nuclear family, which is promoted by Black Lives Matter as a virtue, contributes to an illegitimate birth rate in black communities which exceeds seventy percent, with many black women having children with two, three, even four or more men, none of which live in the household or provide a good roll model for the children they sired.
The thousand of black on black murders committed each year, predominately in major Democrat controlled cities, are ignored by the media, which instead promotes the narrative that there is widespread systemic racism in our law enforcement personnel. Repeat a lie long enough and loud enough, and it will be accepted as the truth. So, although residents of our inner cities, when polled, say they want more, not fewer police in their communities, the Democrats are demanding defunding or even eliminating law enforcement agencies altogether.
On the other hand, many well educated blacks, like Leo Terrell, Candace Owens and Thomas Sowell, to name a few, realize the scam being perpetrated on the American people, particularly the African-American community, and are speaking out. They know they have been lied to for over fifty years, when Democrats convinced that community they were their saviors, rather than their oppressors.
If, as was the case last year, the violence spills out of the inner city neighborhoods and into the suburbs and rural areas, people will inevitably be forced to fight back, defending their homes and way of life. To combat this concept, now the left is expanding the push for the teaching of “Critical Race Theory” in our schools and corporations, even in our military. This vile concept, which damns another race, namely Caucasians, simply because of the color of their skin, is as irredeemably racist as you can get.
Drunk on perceived power, the radical left, in the form of the current Democratic Party, is intent on destroying our Constitution, and the liberties it guarantees American Citizens. They must not be allowed to do this. It is really, using a much abused terminology, a real: “Battle for the soul of our nation”. This is a fight patriotic Americans cannot lose.
It would be comforting to believe we can win this struggle using the conventional method we have always used. The ballot box on election day. However, the travesty of the 2020 elections should disabuse us of that foolish notion. Just as was the case in the Revolutionary War, a small group of dedicated patriots may have to lead the country away from where the Democrat Left would take it. Just as the Founding Fathers pledged their very lives to form this nation, a new group of patriots may have to do likewise to save it for future generations.
