The article made a serious tactical mistake by not considering the obvious extrapolation:
“Is racist violence justification for racist violence?”
It isn’t racism that causes black Americans to *butcher* other black Americans at a ridiculous rate. As someone recently observed, was black America a country, it would have a higher rate of violence per capita than any other country in the world.
And when black Americans carry out their violence against *any* other ethnic group, they invariably scream hate-filled racist epithets at them while doing so. Often this violence is mob-based, their victims being outnumbered, and the effort is far more to injure or even kill than robbery or other motive. Pure, unbridled racial hate from black Americans against other Americans.
Right now, there is a grand experiment in progress. Some black Americans have railed at and attacked the police trying to protect them from the vicious and violent in their own communities. After getting a lot of grief from the people they are protecting, the police are giving up, and allowing the violent blacks to carry out violence in their own communities unchecked.
But this needs extrapolation as well. Some in the political left no longer want the police or courts to inhibit, arrest, or imprison the criminally violent offenders. But as with most things, they have not considered the consequences of doing so.
On the first day of the Rodney King riot, blacks invaded the Korean area and robbed and looted stores, while assaulting people. By the second day, had any rioter so much set foot in the Korean area, they would have been shot on sight.
Now imagine that extrapolated to the rest of the country. People of any other ethnic group see a group of young black men hanging out in their neighborhood, and an armed group of people will approach them and tell them to leave and not return.
Is this racism? Certainly. However, it also exhibits courtesy. If you wish to leave in peace, you may do so. If you refuse, we will kill you on the spot.
And yes, the people with guns will be white, for the most part. But they will also be Hispanic and Asian, two groups who admit to having zero “racial guilt” about black people.
Not sure this is true. My rough calculations are based on: approximately 7000 murders by black people in 2014, population of 37M.
By my calculation that comes out to a rate of about 19 per 100,000.
Meanwhile, Honduras has a murder rate of 90 per 100,000.
There are 31 countries with a rate above 19, so "black America" would be #32.
Interestingly, the US Virgin Islands are #3, at 52.6.
However, it's entirely possible I bleeped up the calculation. If so, corrections appreciated.
