Black fatigue BREAKS the internet — and it was only a matter of time
The Blaze ^ | 5-12-25 | Jason Whitlock

Posted on 05/13/2025 9:20:18 AM PDT by dynachrome

The term “black fatigue” has recently taken the internet by storm, and Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” saw it coming from a decade away.

“It is the antithesis, it is the yin to the yang of Black Lives Matter. It’s white people boldly expressing their fatigue with black people,” Whitlock explains, adding, “This was inevitable.”

“That’s why I spent so much time during the whole Black Lives Matter psyop, about a decade, saying, ‘This is crazy, Black Lives Matter is going to create a boomerang effect, it’s going to harden hearts,’” he continues.

I think a lot of people with this fatigue are able to recognize that the problem isn’t really genetics. It’s not about the skin color.

No, it actually is about genetics and skin color. Plain and simple.

“ You want to hide behind big words—hope they keep you “safe”.”

I said no such words .
My post was about how bad victim mentality is.
You took that concept and raced all over the county stopping at any topic but what I wrote about about .
Wow, a totally useless waste of electrons !!!!

I feel that the expression "Black fatigue" still plays into the hands of BLM and Co.

The expression is namely too easy to attack as "racist" (as tired and ineffectual as that term has become).

It would be better to choose a more-robust expression that doesn't open us up to attack so easily.

Maybe "Proud to be White?"

That's certainly more provocative - and yet easier to defend ("What?! Are you saying that I shouldn't be proud to be White?! Aren't you proud to be Black? Well, then, don't I have the right to...?")

Regards,

Well, I’m white and I never counted sheep either. Seemed like a pretty stupid idea.

I THINK (but am not sure) the first time I heard it was when Dr. Laura played it on her radio show once in the late ‘90s. I never forgot it; it was so good.

By the lyrics you’d almost think Don Henley was a conservative instead of a whining liberal whack job.

And those on the other side weren’t grabbing for power? They were acting out of pure, disinterested concern for the public good? Or maybe they were entitled to power and their opponents weren’t?

Once you say that it’s all about power or money you set both sides as equals. You want to stop things there, but we can still go on to ask what distinguished the two sides and what might have made one side wrong and the other side right? Efforts to stop lynchings were all about power? Then all concern about law and justice is about power. Most people would disagree with that.

Or was it because the Republicans were hypocritical? Grow up. Everyone was hypocritical. You don’t think the Democrats talk about preserving civilization from the Negroes was in some sense hypocritical and self-serving? Democrats wrapped their cause up in supposed moral values. It’s just that society no longer accepts that their actions and beliefs really were moral.

Until you have been a real victim in the real world you have no business lecturing anyone about a “victim mentality”.

All true. Over 50 years I have perceived changes in attitude among many white people who were once neutral or supportive of black efforts. They have become sick of the arson and plunder and the constant complaining by wealthy and prominent blacks about nonexistent oppression of Negros in America.

The “culture” is a result of LBJ’x War on Poverty. Previous to that the blacks had been making rapid gains across the population tha got going in the Depression and accelerated in WWII as rural southerners migrated in large numbers to the northern cities to take jobs in factories. During the War Negros who were not really welcome into the military took many jobs that whit men left to go to war. They became skilled and the Negro population entered a phase analogous to the Irish and Italian mass migrations of earlier generations. It was ongoing into the 60s when Johnson’s War on Poverty that pretty much ended marriage as it paid new payments to women who had children and no husband.

“Until you have been a real victim in the real world you have no business lecturing anyone about a “victim mentality”.”

Having a bad thing happen is a bad thing.
Letting yourself be overtaken by victim mentality and a separate thing.
One we control and one we can’t control .

A friend of mine was shot protecting kids he was mentoring .
He absolutely refused to be a victim.
He was hurting badly physically and mentally .
But he pushed forward and kept the program going.

I don’t know your story but it sounds like something bad happened.
I hope you are ok.
And I hope you find the healing you need.

Trust is gained in drops; it is lost in buckets.

excellent summary

also, it takes years to build a reputation and one day to ruin it

Who is entitled to power?

Once you say that it’s all about power or money you set both sides as equals.

This is consistent with my view of humanity. I was always taught that everyone is a sinner, and only through diligence and the power of the Lord can mankind overcome their natural sinful nature.

You want to stop things there, but we can still go on to ask what distinguished the two sides and what might have made one side wrong and the other side right?

You want to figure out which compelled servitude was worse than the other compelled servitude? I'm thinking that will be in the eye of the beholder.

Efforts to stop lynchings were all about power?

You are doing that fallacy of false equivalency here. You cite the most extreme example, (appeal to extremes) and then equate it to something that is clearly in the best interests of the people making the law. (Guaranteed 100% votes for them.)

Then all concern about law and justice is about power. Most people would disagree with that.

Well of course. That is exactly why you framed it as you did.

Opposing lynching may have a component of self interest in it, but it is mostly a demand for adherence to societal norms.

Or was it because the Republicans were hypocritical? Grow up. Everyone was hypocritical.

Yeah, I know. That has been the point I have been orbiting for the last several years. They are all hypocrites and motivated by self interest.

You don’t think the Democrats talk about preserving civilization from the Negroes was in some sense hypocritical and self-serving?

From my reading of a large number of writings from that era, it would seem to me that this was a bipartisan view at the time. You should read what Lincoln wrote about it.

Democrats wrapped their cause up in supposed moral values. It’s just that society no longer accepts that their actions and beliefs really were moral.

Well of course. You have 160 years of propaganda training the public into consensus, and you can make them believe whatever you wish.

I keep telling people they need to familiarize themselves with two psychological experiments that occurred in the 1970s.

The Asch conformity experiments, and the Milgram Authority experiments.

Both of them not only explain what happened in 1861, but they also explain most of the insanity in modern times as well.

The media-lie-system exists to manufacture an appearance of consensus, to get the majority of the public to reach that level necessary for a preference cascade, which will have them believing big government Democrats spending money recklessly is just what the nation needs!

Seriously. Read Asch and Milgram. It will give you such insight into what is happening now.

And what happened then.

It’s certainly been good for gun, ammunition, and conceal carry holster sales.

Plenty of jurisdictions in the country, even in red states, will see you charged with murder if you lethally defend yourself from a violent black criminal.

George Soros paid good money to get those district attorneys elected and it was money well-spent.

Ok so be it .
But you are embracing victimology which is fully opposite of conservative values.
Thats your choice.
But that’s hurtful to people wanting to recover from bad things that happen.
And if you think you have a corner on having bad things happen , YOU KNOW NOTHING about what most people go through .
WE ALL GO THROUGH THINGS. And they are not fun.
