Hollywood, the shining beacon of morality that it is, loves to preach to us about what we should say and do.
On Sunday, July 22nd at a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in Oakland, CA, a grotesque murder took the life of 18 year-old Nia Wilson. The alleged murderer, John Cowell, also tried to kill her sister. Thankfully, she survived.
Cowell’s family released a heart-wrenching statement about their son and his life-long battle with mental illness. It reads, in part: “First and foremost, we want to let the Wilson Family know that our hearts go to them and are mourning, for your family. This horrific tragedy never should have happened. John has been suffering from mental illness most of his life. He has been in and out of jail and has not had the proper treatment…knowing that he was diagnosed with being bipolar and schizophrenia, the system has failed in this instance. We had to get a restraining order at one time as well for our own protection…He was living on the streets…”
But none of that seems to matter. For those who see the world only in white versus black, Nia was black and Cowell is white. Of course it’s racism! Of course it’s white supremacy!
Anne Hathaway, the paragon of wokeness in Hollywood (funny, has she ever starred in any films that deal with racism or the struggle of Black Americans?), has unleashed an Instagram scolding of white people.
“The murder of Nia Wilson- may she rest in the power and peace she was denied here- is unspeakable AND MUST NOT be met with silence. She is not a hash tag; she was a black woman and she was murdered in cold blood by a white man.
"White people- including me, including you- must take into the marrow of our privileged bones the truth that ALL black people fear for their lives DAILY in America and have done so for GENERATIONS. White people DO NOT have equivalence for this fear of violence. Given those givens, we must ask our (white)selves- how “decent” are we really? Not in our intent, but in our actions? In our lack of action? Peace and prayers and JUSTICE for Nia and the Wilson family xx"
No, Anne Hathaway. ALL black people DO NOT fear for their lives daily. Not sure what kind of marrow you have in your bones, but it’s making you delusional.
I’m black, and you definitely don't speak for me. Nia Wilson's murder was horrific. I can't imagine her family's trauma right now.
So, don’t exploit it.
Cowell is a mentally ill man. So, please, Ms. Hathaway, stop this needless racial division and white privilege garbage. Nia’s family has suffered an unimaginable loss. You don’t know them. I don’t know them. But I know people in these tragic circumstances need prayers, not propaganda. They need justice, not faux white-guilt jargon.
Hollywood, a multi-billion dollar industry that profits from fake violence, gets (selectively) outraged when real violence happens. But not just any violence. Only that which is reported by mainstream media—alleged or actual crimes against black people.
Viola Davis, an actress that profits from a show about getting away with murder, asks when it will stop in real life against black people. Again, Cowell is bipolar and has schizophrenia. But let’s go with racism.
Rose McGowan, a celebrity who has led the #MeToo movement, opined on Twitter: “Indoctrinated hate is a deadly weapon #NiaWilson #SayHerName”.
Isn’t all homicide pretty much a form of hate? Does the color of the attacker lessen or heighten the heinousness of the crime?
And yet, not a word about mental health from any of these celebrities.
In this everybody-has-to-know-my-uninformed-opinion kind of social media universe, Nia Wilson gets reduced to a trending hashtag and any pertinent details get shoved aside to make room for the predictable and destructive race narrative.
I’ve been writing about this blaxploitation for years, since the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. Are there hashtag campaigns about white people being murdered?
Isn’t all murder wrong?
Social Justice Warriors, too busy texting and tweeting to be bothered with any facts, are demanding justice like it’s fast food. What? I just ordered it two seconds ago, and it’s not here yet! All they have on the menu are assumptions and accusations with a dash of twisted information.
>And that’s why violence like this happens—someone thought to be a member of an alleged white supremacist group, Proud Boys, was brutally beaten by a mob in Oakland. No amount of further violence will bring back Nia Wilson.
I hate racism, no matter the pigmentation of skin it comes from or the socioeconomic status of the perpetrator. We’re supposed to be a melting pot. Didn’t anyone pay attention to that Schoolhouse Rock? Ok, so millennials, that was way before your time, but the principle is still the same. America cannot exist if we are not one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Many of us have said that pledge thousands of times, but do we act with compassion and moral clarity to ensure that this is our reality?
If our heart, as a society, is not for racial reconciliation, these race hucksters will succeed. Division, distrust and distortion is all they have to offer.
The Church of Hollywood has nothing to give. Christians, on the other hand, do. If the Church doesn’t raise its voice louder than the clamor and confusion of Tinseltown, MSM and SJWs, the only noise we will continue to hear is the lie that we are a racist nation.
Let’s not allow another tragic death to be exploited for political gain. What needs to be elevated are the Wilson and Cowell families—in prayer—as they journey through the pain of indescribable loss and the senselessness of violence toward the healing they all deserve.
-a black person is over 50 times more likely to be killed another black person than a white person and
-a white person is ten times more likely to be killed by a black person than vice versa
So WHO should be complaining????
the media war on white people continues...
Nothing on the other two murders in the same time frame in bart stations.
The other two not mentioned were white males, perpetrators black males.
Didn’t fit narrative so was covered up until forced to report.

wow, didn't know that, nicely done.
Oh yes, the race whores are at it again. Just another - and perhaps the best - weapon they have in their arsenal to bring down this republic.
Absolutely, the libs favorite weapon the race card, no doubt about it.
First it was evil racist white cops. then it was evil racist white people calling the police on black people (usually because they broke a low or the rules) Now they're trying to peddle the lie that black people have to live in fear of white criminals. When of course white people have way way more to fear from black criminals.

This is truly sad. One person dead and then the truth is executed as well. The one common denominator of most mass killings mental illness.
Many of them had genuine,serious,chronic medical conditions like cancer,heart disease,lung disease and dementia.Also included in the "genuine,serious,chronic" category were several schizophrenics.
To those who've never seen it schizophrenia,in its more serious forms,is a nightmare for the patient,his family and his neighborhood.In an earlier day these people were kept in psych hospitals where they posed no danger to themselves or others.
But not today."Patient's Rights" advocates have convinced legislators that these patients have the right to sleep in the street,eat out of garbage cans and sometimes endanger those around them.
Our Marxists are largely responsible...but they'll never admit it.
I haven’t been able to find the race on each. I don’t doubt you, I just would like to know where you found it as I would love to throw it in the face of some liberals on another website.
So far I’ve got-
One BART murder was a (confirmed by picture) black man (no name given) beating another man to death, Don Stevens— race not given.
Another was Abdul Bey, race unspecified, (though most likely black) stabbed and killed Gerald Bisbee, race not given.
TYA.
And even if they do; it's fear of BLACKS that are around them that scare them the most!
Not many Whites drive down MLK street and shoot into homes.
