Black Americans may need to “flee the country” in the face of an apparently growing population of “crazy White people” who are “not to be trifled with,” according to a recent Washington Post piece.
In “Why Black people are afraid of ‘crazy’ White people,” columnist and associate editor Jonathan Capehart begins by letting readers in on a “little secret” — “black people” don’t fear typical white people, but rather “crazy” ones.
“Things felt so dicey during the Trump years, I half-joked that my husband and I might have to reenact that scene from ‘The Sound of Music’ and flee the country,” he said.
“Now, an alarming new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center shows that my ‘Operation von Trapp’ might need to go live,” he added. “The ranks of ‘crazy’ White people appear to be growing — and the rest of us don’t know what to do about it.”
Capehart defines “crazy” as one who “believes any aspect of the racist ‘great replacement’ conspiracy.”
“This is the noxious idea that liberals are deliberately replacing White people with non-Whites and immigrants,” he said, claiming it “allegedly drove an 18-year-old man to target Black people in Buffalo, killing 10 and wounding three.”
He called the fact that the “twisted belief” is so widely held, “terrifying,” as he cited a recent Washington Post/Ipsos poll allegedly revealing the “present-day Black fear of White violence.”
He also argued that the “right to self-protection, let alone the right to bear arms, doesn’t exactly apply to Black people.”
“Imagine I get a gun for self-protection (not that I ever would, but stay with me). A situation arises in which I use it to protect myself. But then the cops arrive, see a gun, ‘fear for their lives,’ and, well, the rest writes itself,” he said.

Without being scientific but based on my observation I have reached a couple of particular conclusions, The first._ Many of the blacks (obviously not all) feel unhappy for the fact of being black and also living in a country with a white majority, the second conclusion is that these crazy white people they fear so much are democrats or liberals or both.
If you track people who have committed atrocities, if among them there are conservatives who believe in God and respect the law, they would be a rare exception.
See a gun? Put the damn thing down and raise your stupid hands.
Idiots like you are why cops fear for their lives.
Its mainly those bad supremacists that use the word “Teen” ironically to point out the absurdity of news headlines
Nick Schmit: 3 Facts about Jonathan Capehart’s Husband
By: Ashmeet Bagga November 7, 2018

Famous journalist and TV personality Jonathan Capehart is married to former State Department official Nick Schmit. Schmit is no less impressive when it comes to his professional life.
About Nick Schmit
AGE 41 Years
BIRTH December 30, 1980
GENDER Male
SPOUSE Jonathan Capehart 2017-Present
JOB Global Public Affairs Strategist
Nick Schmit was born on December 30, 1980, which makes his age 37. He attended the University of North Dakota for his post-secondary education, and following his graduation, Schmit worked for the Clinton Foundation for two years. There, he was Director of Finance and worked closely with Hillary Clinton.
For a period of one year, from 2007 to 2008, Schmit worked as Travel Compliance Director for the Hillary for America presidential campaign in Washington, D.C. His work profile states, “Served as liaison between CFO and Legal Department to follow development of new Federal Election Commission and Senate Ethics Committee regulations, and designed campaign protocol to ensure compliance.”
Schmit then returned to the Clinton Foundation as a consultant for one year. In 2009, Schmit worked as an Assistant Chief of Protocol for Diplomatic Partnerships at the U.S. Department of State. He remained there until 2017.
Schmit has worked for multiple U.S. presidents and secretaries of state throughout his successful career.
Capehart and Schmit were introduced to each other by Jed Hastings and his now-husband Joe Solmonese. In 2010, Hastings reached out to Capehart and told him that his sister-in-law had a single cousin, Schmit, who had moved to Washington.
However, at the time, Capehart was in a relationship and took a pass on the matchmaking. After six months, Hastings again contacted Capehart on Facebook.
Capehart agreed and asked Hastings to send him a picture of Schmit. Capehart liked the photo, and on his approval, Hastings introduced the men in a joint message.
They connected through messages and Capehart was impressed by Schmit and his command of the English language. Schmit was also impressed to learn that the man he’d watched on TV was approachable and modest.
They quickly went on two dates. Initially, Capehart was worried about their age difference of 13 years, but Schmit turned out to be a mature soul—a homebody whose ideal night is spent curling up in bed to watch a movie.
Schmit and Capehart had been dating for over five years when Capehart popped the question to him in May 2016. Before the proposal, Capehart called up Schmit’s mother for her blessing.
Capehart spent four months planning the perfect surprise proposal for Schmit. Capehart asked Schmit to marry him just before sunrise on the roof terrace of their room with a beautiful view of the Amalfi Coast in Positano, Italy.
During the proposal, Capehart gave Schmit a handwritten note and a red box with a gorgeous engagement ring inside. Of course, Schmit said yes to his proposal.
After eight months of engagement, Capehart and Schmit were married on January 7, 2017, by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.
During the ceremony, Holder paused as he cried happy tears. The sweet couple was married in the Jefferson hotel in Washington, after moving up their wedding date so that they could get married under the current presidential administration.

Corporations get a (well-deserved) bad rap for wokeism. Maybe I'm lucky, but where I work, it's there but not pushy. Indeed, what matters most is delivering shareholder value, keeping employees happy and not bolting for the door, and treating people respectfully. This kind of racist nonsense WaPo pushes (more on them later) never finds its way into my office. Appreciating differences is one thing...forced-apologizing for someone else's prejudice makes things awkward. In fact, it gets IN THE WAY of delivering value. Your mileage may vary.
I read that most footsoldier Islamic terrorists are at the daft end of the intelligence spectrum. I suspect the same holds true for the Klan and their respective counterparts. It's always easy to blame THAT OTHER GUY who doesn't look like you, for your own "pitiful" lot in life.
A rather new twist on prejudice, is the ascent of the über-educated, affluent, woke urban whites, who have guilted their brethren into joining The Cause. The wild thing about these whites, is their implicit prejudice that minorities need THEM as "allies" to break the chains.
Nobody is an island. My life has been enriched by friendships and professional acquaintances of people of all walks of life. I even have a friend who's got a big love thing going and his clan are some of the nicest folks you'll meet (though...yea..it's weird). I never saw my black friends as BLACK, but I also didn't ignore it. It is a symbiotic exchange.
I also have zillions of whites in my life and, by and large, they're decent. Frankly, largely due to sample size differences, I have a number of white MSNBC fans in my life - the vaxx mandates really made them come out of the closet as statists. Parenthetically, one of my old school black hippy friends was loathe to vaxx-up and sounded like a lot of FReepers on that subject. No race has a monopoly on intelligence, or prejudice, or stupidity.
WaPo, however, continues with MSNBC, the DNC, and other related losers as a contemporary Sylvester McMonkey McBean, the guy shaking the jar. Everything you ever needed to know about race relations, came from Dr. Seuss.
If they did leave, America would be almost a paradise. Our cities would be livable again. Violent crime would be down astronomically. State and local budgets would have little trouble being balanced. Our national culture would be far less bestial.
Where would it hurt? A few track and field events in the Summer Olympics?
Frigging leave already!
You 'get it'...
You make an excellent point. This one example is grafted onto the majority of whites in the United States. However, what do you think would happen if I compiled mulitple videos of blacks starting fights at schools, airports, restaurants, on the street, etc. (they are not that hard to find) and make the claim that all blacks are like this?

The mistake is in classifying people who are mentally ill along any kind of political spectrum. Paranoid schizophrenics do not have a decipherable thought pattern. It’s like the hash pattern on a television tuned to a no-signal channel. Attribution based on books found at their residence or search engine histories tells you very little, if anything, about their thought process in committing a specific crime. That is the truth, but if the media thinks they can score points against the right, then these folks can be classified as right-wing.
Capehart spews his garbage at the PBS NewsHour - daily.
Everywhere you look, it's mainly Blacks who kill and assault.
“The Compost is onto a good idea, except it needs to be leftists need to flee the US.”
I vote for both.
One way only.
Dicey under Trump? You mean before covid and the race baited riots? Folks were pretty damn happy....
