#BlackLivesMatter, White Guilt and the Marketing of Racism
townhall.com ^ | 7/8/2016 | Ryan Bomberger

I can’t breathe.

I’m literally fighting back tears as I write, again, about this prevalent injustice. They don’t see us as individual human beings, but a group to be exploited, separated, and judged based on our pigmentation.

I’m talking about mainstream media and their manipulation of all Americans, corralling us into our respective color zones. They have a narrative to peddle. And we see it with every tragic account of black Americans killed by those tasked with the extremely dangerous job of serving and protecting. I’m repulsed by a news media that is hell-bent on fomenting a racial war.

Whites are killed by cops, according to a database created by the Washington Post twice as much as blacks. Out of a total of 990 killed, 494 (or 49.9%) were white and 258 (or 26%) were black. 782 of those killed, or 79%, were armed with a deadly weapon. But hey, let’s only report when unarmed black individuals are victims of police brutality. This is a deliberate and despicable attempt by mainstream media to color the issue.

Apparently it isn’t enough. And if you pressed them, I bet that they are all talk and no action (if they are like my liberal friends).

“IMO, they are being manipulated by the elites (Democrats and race hustlers). It is pure evil what the elites are doing and unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a solution.”

Of course they're being manipulated. To some extent, we all are. Hitler tapped into resentment and other unfortunate aspects of human behavior and road it to power, with the deaths of millions as a consequence. If society kept telling you that every bad thing that happens to you is because of another group that dislikes you and is trying to hold you back and stacking the deck against you, there's a good chance you would resent that group, distrust them, and potentially want ‘payback’. That's unfortunately part of human nature.

NO we can't. Neither on a personal nor a societal level, it seems like.

I had a co-worker once, that for no reason that I could ever figure out, lied about me and stabbed me in the back.

I had never harmed, nor disrespected this person in any way that I knew of, and she never explained her beef with me. Getting rid of me gave her no professional, nor financial advantage.

There must have been some reason, but I can only ascribe it to malice.

I know for a fact that she later tried the same thing on someone else.

How do you get along with someone like that?

Oh absolutely! We have far too much common cause to be at each other’s throats like this.

What guilt. I'll bet there is not one white person in America who has lost one meal or one hours sleep over the fact that blacks were slaves and were segregated. "White guilt" is a media creation. However, I must admit if the lie is repeated often enough people will believe the lie.

What normal person feels "Guilty" over the fact that some black physically resists the police and ends up shot?

Without Virtue (inner control of base emotions with intellect), there is no Freedom and virtue is embedded in early childhood.

This Marxist WORLDVIEW is forced onto our children today with the psyops in curricula (neo-Marxism and neo-Freudian), It embeds hate for a Christian Worldview (whites) and creates non-thinking “bots”. They are being released by the thousands and being imported —young ignorant males (and orphans/traumatized people) to be the jackboots (no conscience) when the “race wars” begin for the FEMA camps which will be for people who want Freedom (US Constitution).

It is training for trans-humanism—One World Mind. We are dehumanizing children—for 50 years—removing the Natural Family (the humanizing/individualism/Reality conduit) through publik skools indoctrination (artificial institutions) to destroy Wisdom and Knowledge and to prevent maturity (Common Sense). Addictions (emotions) and AI controls every action (Free Will is destroyed because choice is impossible in ignorant people). We will be controlled by the Cloud. Implantables-—inside people which will allow a few psychopathic, satanic elites to control ALL thoughts/actions making people into a computer terminal. Watch Matrix-—or Hunger Games or Brave New World or The Giver and 1984. The psychopaths like to “Play” with their victims (pets).

Without information and Wisdom (reading the Great Books), children will be dupes, dumb, tribal minds (easily herded). F451 also is about access to Wisdom of the Ages. Burn the books and you ERASE the worldview in children and create tribal mindsets (killing cops.) It is all Mind Control. (Word Government means “to control the mind”) Funny how the Founders stated that government was evil and needed to be very limited since absolute (government) power corrupts absolutely.

But WTH, its all so easy and fun to allow others to raise and program your own children WITH OUR MONEY, and insert their worldview, so free will can never EVER exist. Fichte’s wet dream of “1810” where children are so dumb and irrational they “think” snow is black and men can be women.

I have a very liberal Jewish friend who lives in an upscale area here in So Cal. When his worldview clashes with Reality, which it often does, he flounders as he tries to reconcile the two. He NEVER goes to the common sense/ conservative side for long, though. And I believe he is totally fraught with white guilt. It’s all theoretical - he lives in theory, and drags these high-falutin’ theories around, trying to make them work. They never do.

Collectivism and determinism are attributes of libtardism, which creates, promotes, and exploits divisiveness to produce anger, hatred, and desire to kill and destroy, in order to change America into a hellhole.

“If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don’t understand being black in America. And you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk … It is more dangerous to be black in America.” ~ Newt G

Here’s what, black folks: You’ll never know what it’s like to be me.

I have to listen to your carping 24/7; the whoa is me mantra. I’m sick and tired of being discriminated against; to stand by, silent, while blacks take positions of power and influence due to affirmative action and simply the color of their dark skin.

Stay in school, get an education, make something of yourself like Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, or Allen West. Stop your whining. Boo Hoo!

I don’t recognize “white privilege” either. I tell people who say that that they’re confusing reciprocal civil behavior among people of all races as some kind of special benefit that they don’t get (or deserve).

Of course they're being manipulated.

There's a higher order effect than that. As always, follow the money. So let's go through a simple thought exercise:

1. Avg IQ of blacks is 85
2. Ergo, the avg base of blacks will never assimilate - they simply do not possess the basic cognitive ability to either speak, write or act according the the basic norms of society at large
3. As a result, they occupy the lowest order on the economic ladder
4. As illegal immigration and MENA refugees pour into the country, blacks continue to be pushed further down the social strata, to the point where they are isolated among themselves to percolate over perceived injustices
5. US (shadow) domestic policy is to dilute/displace the overall existing racial make-up overall. Stressors among all classes result in acts of violence between both law enforcement and those feeling the brunt of changing demographics.
6. Political websites like FR allow people who have to control to vent into the ether, whereas the smart money gives not one wit about the impact. Rather, it's quite trivial to see the action in play and hedge accordingly.
7. The uni-party is composed of smart players - they helped craft the policies under direction of their bosses - so it's almost like insider trading for them.
8. People are going to make a (financial) "killing" off of these events as they continue to escalate and create social disruption.
9. You can be a dope and complain, or be smart and play. Your choice - but as always, it's best to follow the money.

There is no white guilt. BLM and other black supremacist movements have used up all their historical slavery chits. They are equal to the slave masters now.

Fact: More white men are killed in police shootings than black men.

Fact: Media does not report on black on white crime Read “White Girl Bleeds A Lot!”

Fact: Authorities never arrest/shoot black rioters for destroying property & stealing.

Fact: Leftist media & politicians manipulate the black community using killings that have been singled out by media to incite riots.

I don’t like statistics like that. First they are usually wrong. Second they are subjective. My boss’s boss is an African American and he is one of the smartest businessmen I have ever known. In 15 years his company has grown from nothing to 30 million dollars with many well known clients.

You can’t do that with a low IQ.

I told my Jewish liberal friend once, “I judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skins.” Quoting MLK. He looked at me — “That’s almost impossible to do.” ?????

You don’t get along with those people. You are polite and you stay away. Humans can be just awful.
