The Double Terror of Being Black in America
The Atlantic ^ | May 20, 2022 | Ibram X. KendI

I loved strawberry shortcake as a child in New York City. The sliced strawberries, the juice, the softest of cake, that whipped cream. I loved it all individually. And together? Pure bliss.

You know he’s a racist when he capitalizes the “b” in black and lower-cases the “w” in white.

“13% of the population, 52% of the crime.”

That’s nationally, which is a staggering statistic. In some cities and states, the percentage of crimes committed by blacks is closer to 90%.

Our rulers don’t seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment.

They don’t understand that white people aren’t out to get black people, they are just exhausted with them.

They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, the reflexive animosity.

The elites explain everything with “racism,” and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.

“13% of the population, 52% of the crime.”

The number that would really tell the tale would be young black males (say age 16 to 30) as a percent of the population compared to percent of the crime.

Probably that would be greater than a factor of ten.

There is a man named Paul Kersey who writes many articles comparing black crime to total crime in various locations.

The link is probably not allowed here—if you want to see it you can contact me directly.

Today folks must act like they are living in the Spanish Inquisition—if you dare speak against the Woke faith it must be in code.

“Black culture needs to go fix itself.”

Having just returned from two weeks in southeastern Africa, I will no longer refer to the majority of their culture as ‘black’...they, CULTURALLY, are AFRICAN!

The old line ‘You can take the African out of Africa, but you can’t take the Africa out of the African”, is very true.

Of course, this is my opinion, based on my personal observations.

It’s not hating blacks, but being wary of them, plus being tired of being blamed for why their lives aren’t perfect.

It was still cool out at that time. Heat would not have been a factor then at all.

Let’s see, anything else that has been killing the young and healthy via the heart???

The left-wing press repeatedly failed to report that the group with with biggest resistance to the vaccines were blacks, not MAGAs or Republicans or whatever the phony narrative was.

Yup, and when they mentioned those lower rates at all it was always in the context of "lack of access."
