Crime on the streets of Washington, D.C., has become practically apocalyptic, to the point that President Donald Trump has been forced to take control of the city’s law enforcement operations and deploy National Guard troops to return order.
“This is liberation day in D.C., and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump declared. And, of course, the left-wing response was to either deny that crime in our nation’s capital even exists—which is only true in the wealthy elitist bubbles in which they reside—or accuse Trump of racism.
“As D.C. the National Guard arrived at their headquarters Tuesday, for many residents, the prospect of federal troops surging into neighborhoods represented an alarming violation of local agency. To some, it echoes uncomfortable historical chapters when politicians used language to paint historically or predominantly black cities and neighborhoods with racist narratives to shape public opinion and justify aggressive police action,” wrote Matt Brown in an article titled “Trump’s rhetoric about DC echoes a history of racist narratives about urban crime” for the Associated Press.
There’s just one problem: Why does nobody give a damn about the black victims of crimes?
Let’s dispense with the theatrics. Yes, the perpetrators of the majority of violent crimes in D.C. are black: a statistical reality that many reject as racist on its face. Except, the same is true of the victims of these violent crimes! Critics may howl that this language—let alone action—is just old-fashioned coded racism, but why do they simultaneously ignore that black people are disproportionately victimized alongside being overrepresented in crime data? So why isn’t Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s law enforcement under a real “public safety emergency” being correctly viewed as a non-racist liberation of the majority-black victims of this crime spree, regardless of the racial makeup of the perpetrators?

Because dems are the party of the KKK.
It ain’t just d.c. They take advantage of them all over the place by keeping up the “You can’t make without us benevolent white dumbocrats helping y’all out!”
Democrats are against common sense. It has nothing to do with race but they throw that card out the second someone calls them out or the Nazi card which is exactly what the Democrats are social fascist scum.
Just for fun, he should’ve called it Augteenth. That would’ve made some Liberal heads explode. Or implode in some cases.
Democrats hate PEOPLE. Not just those they can or can’t control.
So more blacks were being locked up than whites. Then the black "leaders" said it was racist to arrest more blacks than whites.
One problem that blacks have of their communities getting somewhere is too many of them fall for the sensationalist political talking point of what's best for the "black community" and not enough stay on point to actually get real improvements.
what are you talking about?
dems have hated blacks ever since they were forced to give up their slaves.
since then they’ve done what they can to kill them off (planned parenthood) and keep them down (anti civil rights)
Their worst problem isn’t being hated by Democrats,
it’s the hatred and resentment they feel for others.
Nothing has changed in the 50+ years since I left DC.
I won't quote LBJ, but y'all know what I'm talking about.
Because they still see them as their slaves. The white liberals still own the black slaves.
Black criminals and black victims. It’s an important relationship that I don’t think is mentioned often enough. Soft on crime polices are systemic racism. It keeps black people down.
Liberal Democrats have incited many black riots over the decades. A few days of violence and looting by a few are followed by decades of shopping and work deserts experienced by many. The neighborhoods most depressed are black neighborhoods. That is another example of modern day systemic racism.
Low quality government owned city schools regularly fail to teach black students. Systemic racism once again.
Because they are utterly incompetent and need a group they can look down on.
Dems want blacks miserable and poor. At election time dems get their money and votes by promising to get Whitey’s money for them.
Bowser is on vacation in Martha’s Vinyard right now, how many of her constituents could even dream of going to the vinyard for a vacation YET they still vote for the bitch!!!
“Why Do Democrats Hate Black People in DC?”
Democrats fought the Civil War to be able to keep black slaves, founded Jim Crow and the KKK, and were behind segregation in the South. What else do you need to know?
Democrats are pro-crime, not pro-black except as a pretext.
It’s not that they hate them, just that the ones that aren’t aborted in thrir women, they want dead any other way quickest. More food and climate for the rest.
“Black criminals and black victims. “
And thanks to AA and DEI, more black operators of the justice system. Another patronage job source.
