Leftists aided by our corrupt news media are past masters of replacing truth with narrative. Ninety-seven percent of scientists believe in catastrophic man-made climate change. Women are paid 77 cents on the dollar. These statements are indefensible lies, but when you have a leftist press trained in leftist universities to repeat the assertions of leftist politicians, it's easy to make these "facts" part of what ordinary people think they know.
Especially impressive is the way in which leftists manage to bake dishonesty into the language itself. Take the repellent phrase "objectifying women," which is used to support the equally repellent philosophy of feminism. The phrase essentially asserts that the normal male sex drive, with its emphasis on visual cues, is somehow in and of itself immoral, that it's wrong and unfair for guys to desire the beautiful Giselle Bundchen, say, more than the dumpy Lena Dunham. Men, simply by being as God made them, are in some sense doing wrong and if you fight back against this calumny, you are accused of "man-splaining." Well, I intend to continue man-splaining until feminists begin to girl-understand.
When it comes to the problems of black Americans, the left outdoes itself in the art of deception. Virtually every assertion of the violent Black Lives Matter hate movement is a falsehood. Even the name of this vicious collection of groups is offensive. When challenged by those who respond with "All Lives Matter," the BLM people thug-splain that what they really meant was "Black Lives Matter too." But this assumes that white people don't know this, that blacks in this country are treated as if their lives matter less than others.
The facts tell a different story. In about 85% of crimes involving whites and blacks, blacks were the attackers, whites the victims. Racial hatred of whites is at least at least as virulent among blacks as racial hatred of whites is among blacks. Assertions that black people can't be racist are just more lies.
And, of course, as anyone who follows the data knows, the assertions made by leftists from Barack Obama to the Justice Department on down that police harass or over-police blacks always always fail to take into account the massive difference in the crime rates between black and white communities. When you consider that between 1980 and 2008 the black 13% of the population committed 52% of the nation's murders, the phrase "racial profiling" is revealed to be what it always was: another leftist lie baked into the language, a nasty way of describing ordinary, heads-up police work.
In Milwaukee this weekend, blacks rioted after police shot and killed a fleeing suspect who was brandishing a stolen gun. The racist rioters targeted white people for beat-downs as if "whites," whatever that means, were to blame. In Democrat-owned-and-operated Chicago, meanwhile, 65 people were murdered in July alone. No need to ask what color the victims and killers were. Only 3.5% of Chicago murders are committed by whites, 4.6% of the victims are white, just about all the rest of the murderers and the dead are either black or, to a lesser extent, Hispanic. No riots in Chicago though. What would the rioters have said: "We demand we take responsibility for our own lives!" I don't think so.
BLM, the reparation people, the president, the Justice Department and the press are all lying to our black citizens about the source and nature of the dangers to their lives. They tell black people things that are the opposite of what a friend tells a friend. They say, "It's not your fault." They say, "There's nothing you can do until other people stop oppressing you." They say, "Things will get better for you when your superiors fix the world."
This is crap.
A true friend to black Americans would say: "Your treatment as a race is as good as it is anywhere, and as good as it's gonna get. The past is past. It's on you to make your lives better now. Take responsibility. Join with good guys of whatever color to fight bad guys of whatever color. Then get on with making something of your lives. Because it's all on you. And anyone who tells you differently, is lying you to death."
gggrrrrrr
The leftist press repeats what it “feels” comfortable with. It’s all about feelings, seldom fact.
Plato’s Myth of the Cave explained how painful it is for people, living their lives in darkness, to be brought into the light. So it is here.
Stupid, racist people believe stupid, racist things.
End the Dole. Give the ferals 90 days notice.
That picture kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
If it brings in the big bucks they’ll be saying anything. It’s all about the money.
BTTT.
At first I thought this thread was about the Black Death.
And the majority of Millenials THINK the LGBTQXYZ percentage of Americans is around 25%. Not the actual percentage of around 3%. The Leftist Media is very successful at manipulating the population toward their agenda.
I ran job seeking classes for welfare & food stamp recipients for many years. They hardly ever end up working in any meaningful way.
No Controlling Authority!
Yepper. The left knew this and started infesting the schools to brainwash the kids so they would grow up to be good little indoctrinated adults who would believe anything the left tells them. Pitiful to see generations ruined by this.
You could also say "control ejaculation; control the massive gimme class".
