Say Her Name: Some victims are more equal than others
Claremont Institute ^ | 9/14/2022 | Peachy Keenan

Some victims are more equal than others. If I were a real MAGA extremist, I’d be able to tell you about a specific murder trend happening in America right now, but I don’t want to get on the FBI terror watch list.

What I can tell you is this: we are living in a real-life version of The Purge. Murders are up at least 44 percent in two years.

For over two years, we heard a long list of murder victims shouted on TV every day. I know by heart the names and murder circumstances of Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbury, George Floyd, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, and many others.

This new trend is a little different. In fact, I couldn’t help noticing that some particularly gruesome recent killings have been met with a strangely subdued reaction by the mainstream media. Which is weird, because silence is violence.

Crime itself is nothing new. Like many of you, I’ve already been a victim of lots of crimes. Multiple cars broken into overnight, wallets pickpocketed at bars, that sort of thing.

I have also been the victim of a few much scarier crimes. Once, I was robbed at gunpoint. I was alone, walking home just after dusk on a prestigious East Coast college campus. The robber demanded my wallet as he jabbed his handgun into me. He snatched the $20 I gave him and ran away.

Last year, I arrived at a public park to retrieve one of my children from sports practice. As I pulled into the lot, I noticed a group of men hanging around a parked car. My inner systemic racist noticed that they were young, black, dressed like gangbangers, and smoking weed. My inner white privilege told me I should find a different place to park, immediately.

It’s simple: Reparations = redistribution = retribution!

Racist nails it. Brave girl. Needed to be put into words as she did. Well done.

As I read this, we are finishing up a vacation on the Outer Banks of NC. All there are here are white people and a few smiling Hispanics dutifully performing the jobs they do. Never felt safer in my life.

There were no rallies, marches, or protests in honor of Eliza Fletcher or Brianna Kupfer. No one bothered to organize a commemorative riot, or even host an honorary CVS looting in their names. No Target was ceremoniously burned to the ground in her honor.

There is a simmering anger in this country, at least the upper Midwest anyway. I travel 4 States for my job and get to work with lots of different types of people. White collar IT people, blue collar factory workers, people I meet while staying at mid range hotels, and while having a beverage at local watering holes.

No one is amused by what’s happening these days. And I have yet to meet one single person who will openly voice support for the chowderheads in charge.

Not one.

I expect the talk about insurrections and evil MAGA Republicans to only get worse the closer we get to the election. These people are after power and they mean to get it.

I except some false flag mass casualty event to happen in the next few weeks. Biden has already declared tens of millions of Americans a “clear and present danger”. The next step is to cut us out of the political process entirely, or at least try to do so.

Then things will get really sporty.

Maybe if 32 year-old mother-of-two Eliza Fletcher had been a little bit more “racist,” she would not have been kidnapped,
beaten, raped, and murdered in Memphis last week. A slightly more racist woman might have decided that jogging in darkness
through a city with a sky-high murder rate and a woke DA who refuses to keep dangerous predators incarcerated wasn’t
a good idea. A slightly more racist woman might have chosen to do a Peloton ride in her living room instead.

This racist article dares to advocate the exercise of common sense to save one's white ass.

If you feel a situation is sketchy, leave. Its that simple. Eff what anybody else thinks. You don’t owe them any explanation and you shouldn’t give a damn what they think.

Also, be armed. If you are in a communist state that does not allow your god given right of self defense and your constitutional right to keep and bear arms, leave the state. Move to America where your constitutional rights will be respected.

Ditto if you live in a craphole blue city with a crime enabling George Soros DA. Get out. Leave. Move somewhere decent that still has actual law and order.

I’m grateful for having been raised Catholic. It completely burned out the ability of others to try to control me via using guilt as a weapon against me. If I’m called a nasty name by somebody I don’t know, I do not think the problem is me. I know the problem is them and that they are just trying to control me. AND I make sure any such attempt fails miserably. I just laugh at them, insult them in return and ignore whatever it is they want. I’d suggest others do the same. Then those nasty names lose all power.

Bizarre that the leftie politicians and the entire media is pushing the idea that racist whites are killing black people in droves, when that is statistically the smallest incident of murders.

All of my life I've noticed the foundations of America have been eroding away. I did not , however , believe I would see the beginning of a dictatorship in my lifetime. When a Republic has a Fake Election it is no longer a Republic. It is a dictatorship and the growing tyranny and chaos all around us starts to make sense once you realize we in in the beginning stages of a dictatorship.

One day society will finally act in its own defense. It will have to.

Then things will change.

What a terrible article and terrible way to look at the world. Embrace racism! It sure serves a purpose though.

It is the poor and the working poor - people of color! - in urban areas, who are the overwhelming recipients of violent crimes like rape and murder, not middle-and-upper class white women. You know, the people this idiot writer wouldn’t likely ever even talk to, much less write about.

The White-Girl-Gets-Raped/Murdered-By-Generic-Predatory-“Black-Assailant” routine is getting old. But......it serves a purpose.
