Why Do Blacks and Leftists Wish the Attack on Smollett Happened?
townhall.com ^ | 2/26/2019 | Dennid Prager

The reactions of many on the left to the case of Jussie Smollett prove two important things:

1. There is little racism in America.

2. The left -- white and black -- is morally and psychologically impaired.

There is no doubt that most Americans on the left, including black Americans, are distraught over the fact that Smollet faked the "racist" attack on him. Apparently, leftists, Democratic leaders and, most depressingly, many of his fellow blacks wish Smollett had been attacked by white racist homophobes.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a white leftist, tweeted, "I hope this was not something that Mr. Smollett did to himself, or created...."

Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart told MSNBC there has been "an atmosphere of menace and hate" since Donald Trump was elected president, which made "people want to believe" Smollett's story. Exactly. Capehart a black leftist, wanted to believe that racists yelling "This is MAGA country" beat up blacks.

There is actually quite a lot of racism WHEN you look at the Left.

Where else but the Left do you commonly find people openly advocating judging by the color of skin? The Klan or Aryan Brotherhood? Compared the numbers of leftwingers they could hold their meetings in a rec hall while the Left fills stadiums.

There is a difference of course. When the Klan or Aryan Brotherhood acts racists they nominally do so to keep people out; but, when the Democrats act racists they do so to keep people in, divided up on their little plantations/reservations where people are assigned to go based on their outward appearance.

The demand for racism against blacks and hate against gays far exceeds the supply...

They wish it had happened so as to continue to blame Whitey for their self-inflicted failures.

If Whitey is to blame, they don’t have to admit that their failures stem from their lack of self-confidence, which comes from years of special privileges and affirmative action.

Interesting observation.

There's a lot of racism, including by whites.

What there isn't a lot of is theatrical racism by whites.

Their actual paranoia gives everyone else an overall impression of a geeked up drama queen...in heat.

They wish it had happened because it would be another load of ammunition with which to attack white people. That is the leftist agenda. They hate you and want you dead as soon as possible. They want your children either dead or reproducing with other races. Smollet’s stunt was an opportunity to further guilt you. They needed it coming off of the Covington Catholic debacle. They’ve had a rough few weeks.

Why do headline writers refer to large groups of people as though they all think the same thing?

Inquiring minds want to know.

People are bombarded day and night with Fake News brainwashing saying Trump and his followers are racists. Weak minded people are easily led to believe lies and are too lazy to do their own research on the President.

....”But they’re really upset that he wasn’t actually attacked my Trump supporters so they could use the incident to blame Trump.”

That won’t diminish their hatred one iota.

That’s why I made the “broad brush” comment. It happens all the time and is not, in my simple mind, the best way to present something.

I totally disagree with the inferred premise that 'racism' is a white thing.

From the FBI's 2017 Hate Crime Statistics, of the 6370 known offenders, 50.7% were white and 21.3% were African American or black. That's less than the percentages of whites in the US and more than the percentages of African Americans or blacks.

Swallow-well is the same guy who said he would vote for NUCLEAR WEAPONS to be used on Americans who wouldn't turn in their guns. Swallow-well is a dupe--Jussie IS a fake.

Here is an article of a guy who collects a lot of antiques

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fbi-makes-staggering-discovery-while-seizing-trove-of-artifacts-from-home/ar-BBU6oRA?ocid=spartanntp

He might have gotten some of collection is illegal manners, such as digging up burial grounds

The money shot quote is here

“We have to think about the context of: Who has been the target of grave robbing for centuries? Whose ancestors have been collected for hobby?” Cusack-McVeigh said. “And this comes down to racism. They aren’t digging white graves.”

Yes, they invoke racism into EVERYTHING, its insane. It is almost like the word means nothing like you have stated. A guy collecting certain items through grave robbing and he only looks for Indian (native american) burial grounds, isn’t a racist because he doesn’t do it to white burial grounds.

No, not almost.

A word that has no fixed definition and that can be used to give one person, or the state, power over another, ACTUALLY means nothing.

If someone, or some agency, accuses YOU of being a racist, you cannot prove them wrong - because, even though you think you know what it means - it really means everything, or nothing.
