The Growing Danger of Misinformed Millennials
American Thinker ^ | 07/30/2019 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 07/30/2019 8:12:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Here is an excerpt from an email from a misinformed white millennial:

Mr Marcus, as a black man, if you don't agree in part with Mr. Kaepernick, I feel bad for you. I am white, and feel that the issues facing the black community in the US from the police, legal elements, property, education are skewed, and need to be rectified. I am concerned that someone with your pulpit isn't out there helping out.

I usually receive emails from progressives who call me an Uncle Tom stupid n***** for loving my country and not viewing myself as a victim. This well-intentioned young emailer is infected with anti-Americanism via public education and casual contact with Democrats, Hollywood, social media, and fake news media. He is a prime candidate for recruitment into a terrorist hate group like Antifa.

Everything he thinks he knows is wrong. For example: Blacks are not persecuted by police. Research data confirms that police are the greatest defenders of black lives. A Harvard study said there is zero evidence of police racial bias. The greatest threat to black lives are black criminals.

Haters of America and Trump had a cow, accusing Trump of racism, for daring to tweet the ugly truth about Baltimore which is a hellhole of crime and record black-on-black homicides. I praise God for our president's courage. Trump is making Democrats accountable for the pain, suffering, and lawlessness in cities they have controlled for decades. I say, “Right on, brother Trump. Right on!”

My young emailer believes education is skewed against blacks. The opposite is true. K-8 white students are outrageously taught they were born racist and should feel guilty

The destruction of our education system and our children was planned a long time ago. Above all, to destroy their ability to think critically. As Dewey said, you can’t make a good socialist out of an individual.
The left (those “fit to rule”) do not need clear thinking free people- they fear them. What they WANT are mindless sheep.

Stupid is not a permanent condition. These young folks just need to live through a couple of climate doomsday scenarios which do not happen, a few democrat tax and spend promises that do not achieve any results, and have children and career before wisdom sets in.

They only know what the Publik Skrool Sistem told them.

And what gets spoon fed to them on their smartphones.

And they question NONE of it.

I had one who thought the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise had been named after a TV starship, and not vice-versa.

Kids are for the most part always stupid

Get a couple jobs start paying taxes or better yet have a couple kids and then you’ll see what life is like

There’s an old saying- what do you call a communist in Berkeley with two kids? A republican

.....”Uneducated millennials. They know very little world history”....

They KNOW very little in general....if they can’t find it on google it’s not true or even exists. They depend on what they are told rather than using their own thinking ability.

From 1984: “He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”

Nope. I have a family of Xer/millennials who should by all accounts at least be moderate in their views based on jobs, income, children etc., and they are still as radical Left as they were when they came out of college. This group isn’t going to change. They are solidly indoctrinated to the core.

Great column by Lloyd Marcus. Will his e-mailer and those like him ever wake up and see the light, before it is to late?

An old saying well repeated here: If a person is not a liberal when he is twenty, he has no heart; if he is not a conservative when he is forty, he has no brain.

“I am white, and feel that the issues facing the black community...”

Ummm, isn’t this millennial “whitesplaining”?
