MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart Ready to ‘Flee’ US Over ‘Crazy White People’ Problem: ‘My Operation Von Trapp’

How do you solve a problem like MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart?

By considering leaving the United States.

The Washington Post columnist published a column on Tuesday that he and his husband, Nick Schmit, are ready to leave the United States due to what he calls “crazy White people.”

He cited the SPLC poll, which states that “nearly 7 in 10 Republicans surveyed agree to at least some extent that demographic changes in the United States are deliberately driven by liberal and progressive politicians attempting to gain political power by ‘replacing more conservative white voters.’”

“What’s terrifying is that this twisted belief is more widely held than we want to admit. The SPLC reports that more than a third of all respondents felt that demographic change in the United States is ‘a threat to white Americans and their culture and values,’” wrote Capehart. “Nearly half agreed that demographic changes were part of ‘a purposeful plan to replace white voters.’ Crazy, right?”

Capehart noted that he won’t be getting a gun to protect himself. However, he asked, “But would I actually leave the country for my own protection? It’s a question many people of color have been pondering the past several years.”

Washington Post op-ed asks if it's time for Black people to 'flee the country'

Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart explained that his fear of "crazy White people" could motivate him to leave the country in a new op-ed on Tuesday.

The article "Why Black people are afraid of ‘crazy’ White people" focused on how Capehart’s concern about the growing number of "crazy" White people is forcing him to consider fleeing.

"Let me try to explain. Things felt so dicey during the Trump years, I half-joked that my husband and I might have to reenact that scene from ‘The Sound of Music’ and flee the country. Now, an alarming new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center shows that my ‘Operation von Trapp’ might need to go live. The ranks of ‘crazy’ White people appear to be growing — and the rest of us don’t know what to do about it," he wrote.

He primarily cited the Buffalo mass shooting in May as a factor in his concern, referencing a WaPo poll that showed a majority of African Americans now fear White people to an extent.

"75 percent of African Americans worry they or a loved one will be physically attacked because they are Black," he cited. "70 percent of African Americans think at least half of White Americans hold white-supremacist beliefs. 75 percent of African Americans say white supremacists are a ‘major threat’ to Black Americans."

Despite the perceived threat, Capehart criticized the suggestion to arm himself, claiming that Second Amendment rights are not afforded to Black people.

"The right to self-protection, let alone the right to bear arms, doesn’t exactly apply to Black people," he wrote. "Think about it. Imagine I get a gun for self-protection (not that I ever would, but stay with me). A situation arises in which I use it to protect myself. But then the cops arrive, see a gun, ‘fear for their lives,’ and, well, the rest writes itself. Remember Philando Castile? We can’t win."

He is, sort of, right about that. The first gun control laws were created by Democrats aimed at keeping blacks unarmed and they've never stopped trying.

The Racist Roots of Gun Control.

SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “black leaders” line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.

I think that he’s afraid that if some of us good guys found out he was leaving, we would make sure he did. Even go a far as giving his fruit display a ride to the airport.

The fact that they have to resort to the ad hominem shows that they realize people are -finally- figuring them out. It’s tragic that the figuring out didn’t start a long, long time ago.

I think that leftists should have to sign a legally binding agreement when they announce that they’re leaving the country.

These idiots don’t realize that if there were truly a “Crazy White Person Problem” they (the idiots) would have been history years ago.

Here you go boys. Make sure you pack up your KY and special toys. Recommend you go to Western Africa or the Middle East - lots of black and brown people there who are oh so tolerant of your lifestyle.
