The images of the violent abuse of a young man at the hands of vicious Chicago youth are hard for any decent person to consume, but they pose particular challenges for the left.
In their world, the only racism worthy of note is practiced by whites; the only political violence they care about is what they see (or can concoct) from a Donald Trump rally. So four black teens torturing a white special-needs kid sends them into instant short-circuit, forcing conversations they have no interest in hearing.
To their credit, some liberals have found a way to reach the only coherent conclusion—that these monsters were motivated by hatred of white people and hatred of Donald Trump. It’s not as if mind-reading is required here. The attackers did us the favor of profanely identifying their hate on Facebook Live. Sometimes evil leaves a business card, as in Dylann Roof’s self-admitted murderous grudge against blacks.
But some voices on the left have made an observation that cannot be allowed to stand. Even as they are forced to absorb a hate crime perpetrated by blacks against a white victim, with the additional layer of Trump hatred as a contributing factor, they will say something like: “It is unfathomable how people can treat someone like this; there’s no understanding such an attack.”
Are they kidding? The toxic roots of this outrageous crime are on display every day. They are found in the sick and malicious rhetoric that filled the air in reaction to the Trump campaign, that has only intensified since his victory. And it wasn’t only from liberals.
How many people on TV, in elected office, from the stages of shrill rallies, have spread the following damnable lies:
-- Donald Trump is a racist.
-- Our cops are racist.
-- Our country is racist.
Pour this poison into the heads of kids already damaged by the societal dysfunctions around them, and we might wonder why we don’t get videos like this with nauseating regularity.
The animus of the left is on constant display. Black Lives Matter tells America that waves of racist cops are out to kill our black youth. Democrat politicians have maligned Trump as a bigot for pure sport, joined by some unhinged NeverTrumpers.
Astride it all, we have had a President for eight years who has discouraged none of this, while adding his own winking double-talk that makes clear his belief that racism is still rampant in the nation that elected him twice.
So don’t let anyone get away with feigned bewilderment over how this barbaric cruelty happened. The responsibility for it is shared by anyone who has engaged in the slanders that fill the daily talking points of the left.
As the week began, we were treated to another pathetic video of Hollywood B-listers wagging fingers at Congress to stop the hateful monster we have just elected. For about five minutes, it was easy to enjoy a “there they go again” chuckle.
Now it’s not so funny. Their venom, mingled with countless voices in grotesque harmony across the platforms of media and politics, can now be seen played out in the agonizing experience of a young man subjected to barbaric cruelty, spurred by racial and political hatred.
Clumsy myths of equivalency have arisen in calls for examination of what motivated Roof to his hate crime. But I’ll examine that all day, and offer a comparison which is the foundation for our nation’s skewed racial discourse.
Anyone suggesting there was a valid basis for the malice that led to Roof’s church rampage would be chased into the deepest corners of derision. But walk around spouting about racist voters elevating a bigoted President in a prejudiced nation policed by redneck cops? You can say those things and have a TV show or a high elected office.
And as long as such lies get wide nods of approval, no one should be surprised if unbridled hooligans occasionally act on them.
I can’t imagine why this poor kids parents would let him spend the weekend with a feral. IIRC, this is how the entire episode started. He was dropped off at a McDonald’s to wait for the feral to pick him up.
I want the mugshots.
This will be Obama’s single enduring legacy: increased racial hatred in the black community.
This is why Hillary lost- too much of a disconnect between the people that make the country work, and the whack-a-do liberals who have to think for a few days if a story like this is a hate crime. they’ve basically decided it’s a hate crime because he’s retarded, not because he’s white. They still won’t admit that, hence, President Trump
I wonder which of these animals Obama’s son would look like.
All of them!
The Four Perps = Democrat supporters, Democrat beneficiaries. Thassall I needs to know.
They’ve been posted on another thread, from yesterday.
Exactly what you’d expect....and, then some.
(If 0 had sons....)
Look for a massive clean-up of the cities with all the levels of LE working together once Trump gets in and Sessions become AG.
And leaving a mess for Trump to clean up.
Malaria and Slasher could well have been one of the girls in the video.
Growing up there were two rules in life.
1) you don’t hit girls.
2) you don’t hit, mock or otherwise harass retards no matter what they did.
It’s clear that the rules of civilization had disappeared in Chicago.
Now it has come out they were trying to extort money from family..thus the communication via his cell phone
Gofundme is over 30k for him with lots of small donation support
My local rag carried the story, with pictures of the feral reptiles, the words “Black” and “White” in the appropriate places.
Must have been real hard for them to admit that their favorite victim group is full of angry subhuman racists.
Has there been any word on why this was streamed on Facebook? Were other people watching it? Was the video shared? If so, could anyone who shared it be subject to criminal action?
But, but, but........ I coulda sworn I just heard him say that. just like the rest of the world has more trust and respect for the U.S. since he took office, that race relations are better than they’ve ever been since he’s united everyone. Psssstttt. I got some beach front property here in NV for sale.
Facts are funny things.... they are immutable and if you try to call a thing what it is NOT... the fact becomes even MORE apparent.
Liberals never GOT this.
I did...That was WAAAAYYY back when my mom showed me the consequences I had to face for playing word games with the FACTS.
