Anyone paying even the slightest attention to the news is aware of the rampant crime that’s evident in so many large major cities. Though we observe wanton criminal activity in Europe, the most brazen criminal activity occurs in the large cities of the United States.

For the majority of normal people, this is not a good thing. Despite the political bleats of such as Chicago’s mayor Brandon Johnson, most would prefer a safe city where the average number of shootings on a weekend is not close to an average school classroom.  How can this be allowed to happen on a regular basis?

On a frequent enough level to be newsworthy, a ‘mass’ shooting of some kind takes place in the US and the usual tired narratives of gun restrictions surfaces once again. Conveniently ignored is the fact that a large percentage of these shootings are carried out by mentally disturbed people who are coincidently gender confused. It’s as if they blamed shootings on the guns rather than the obvious fact that all the shooters happened to wear a bear costume.  Like blaming the fork instead of the fat guy.

It’s logical that the ‘population’ will demand that the government in charge do something to keep people safe.  In the UK, there have been rumors of food stores soon requiring digital ID to shop in order to protect from criminals who would enter there to rob or create havoc.  You read that right; people will require digital identification to buy food at the stores.  This is their government’s idea of helping the people.  What could go wrong there?

For some reason, this modus operandi reminds me of a very successful business model that has been in place for centuries.  The model is the Mafia. As in, “nice restaurant you have there.  It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.  Why don’t you pay us a regular fee to keep you safe?”

If we step back and reflect upon the authorities’ attempt to restrict people during the last Covid pandemic charade, the steps taken were all about controlling the movements and activities of people. Where you could go, whom you hung out with and what you could do were all dictated by the state because, you know, to keep everyone safe.

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to connect the possible dots on the long range plan for the big cities.  Violence and crime are rampant: citizens will demand action: politicians will decree control measures on everyone, even on your currency. In the nation formerly known as Canada, some of the measures taken to protect the public are straight out of Monty Python.  Some may recall the advice of police regarding car thefts from people’s homes.  Just leave the keys at the front door to make it easier for the thieves.  Recently, a man was charged with aggravated assault for daring to use a knife to fight off intruders in his own home!

People can cluck about the ineffectiveness of politicians; that they don’t know what they’re doing.  But there’s the other possibility….that they know exactly what they’re doing.

The fact that the author separates people as being part of “White America” already tells you something about his mindset.  But he is mistaken if he thinks that “White America” which includes everyone, including blacks, monolithically trounces the “rights” of “Black America”.  Objective studies have shown that the police are as statistically likely to shoot a non black person as a black person during contentious arrests.

According to the linked study above compiled by the Washington Post, no beacon of conservatism, objective statistics show a much different truth than the Kaepernicks and their ilk would have you believe.  Put simply, blacks disproportionately commit larger shares of violent crime.  The most telling illustration of this is from very recent history.  In August of this year, Chicago recorded 90 homicides ,a new and unenviable record for that city.  This has nothing to do with police killings or oppressive behavior by law enforcement.  It’s not the Irish or the Italians fighting turf wars.  This is gang and drug related violence and typically black on black crime.

This phenomenon is repeated in cities all over the United States from Baltimore to Cleveland to Philadelphia to New York.  When violence occurs in those black sub communities, the police are required to step in to address it.  It is not systemic persecution of blacks as the Kaepernicks of the world profess.

While Kaepernick’s recent hairdo evokes the ’70’s, in 21st century America, systemic racism has all but been wiped out by advances in laws and attitudes during the past 50 years.  The only people insisting that the great racial divide still exists are those that can politically benefit.  There is no job or position that is off limits for a person of color.  In the case of blacks, they have attained the pinnacle of success in every field from entertainment, to sports to business, to politics, perhaps even disproportionately so.  If a guy with as little talent as Kanye West can be a star, there can’t be any barriers to success.   The oppression and racism narrative doesn’t fit, except by those hoping to exploit the people who believe it.

Guys like Kaepernick may think that they’re taking a principled stand on an issue and of course, they have that right.  But his ignorance of the facts makes him just another stooge in the narrative that the racists want to perpetuate.  It’s not being black that is dangerous to one’s life…it’s being a criminal.  Rather than blaming others as they’ve been programmed to do by political opportunists over the years, blacks need to push back into their communities and set examples and pass on the opportunities that they themselves have grasped.  Be Michael Jordan, not Kanye West; be Jerry Rice, not Aaron Hernandez.  White or Black America only exists in the minds of deluded perpetual victims.
