Black racism is the unmentionable word in American polite society.
A black racist failed reporter killed two white liberal journalists.
That was a shocking hate crime. But we’re not allowed to discuss the hate crime angle of the killings.
White Lives Matter, too. Except when they don’t.
For all practical purposes white racism came to a complete end decades ago. For all the courage of MLK and others that may have begun it the thing that ended it was white people letting white racist know that was unacceptable. They were shamed.
For black racism to end blacks are going to have to end it. No one can do it for them. Just as white racists were shamed into oblivion so black racists will have to be shamed by blacks. Problem is nowadays no one knows any shame. Certainly not newspaper editors. This story blew up so fast because they were just certain that a deranged Tea Party Trump supporter had killed journalists. When it was discovered that the killer was a queer black guy they couldn’t put the snakes back in the barrel.
“Black racism is the unmentionable word in American polite society” and as in this case when it was fueled by affirmative action. The killer should have never been hired by the Roanoke station after being fired in Florida. If he were checking out groceries he would never have had the glorified image of himself or had the chance to meet the unfortunate victims.
