Commentators on MSNBC and CNN have been shedding crocodile tears over Donald Trump’s “divisive rhetoric” and lamenting his failure to unify the country. This sudden concern for national unity is rather hard to take from the same worthies who have incessantly glorified the Black Lives Matter movement over the last year and a half.
Let’s dip into the rhetoric of a garden-variety Black Lives Matter march that I observed last November on Fifth Avenue in New York City. It featured “F**k the Police,” “Murderer Cops,” and “Racism Is the Disease, Revolution Is the Cure” T-shirts, “Stop Police Terror” signs, and “Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Racist Cops Have Got to Go” chants.
What about the rhetoric of Black Lives Matter leaders? Last October, DeRay Mckesson, one of the self-appointed spokesmen for Black Lives Matter, led a seminar at the Yale Divinity School, while his BLM ally, Johnetta Elzie (ShordeeDooWhop), tweeted about the proceedings. Mckesson (now running for mayor of Baltimore) had assigned an essay, “In Defense of Looting,” which justified the August 2014 Ferguson riots as “getting straight to the heart of the problem of the police, property, and white supremacy.” Elzie’s tweeted reporting on the class included “If you put me in a cage you’re damn right I’m going to break some glass” and “Looting for me isn’t violent, it’s an expression of anger.” (Let’s hope Baltimore residents do their homework before voting.)

” Mckesson (now running for mayor of Baltimore) had assigned an essay, “In Defense of Looting,”
Lol, I think this is a joke.
I hate it, hate it, hate it when people put comments in the title.
Oh lighten up, TC.;-)
I stopped reading the National Review. Credibility destroyed.
BLM is the most racist organization in US history. It is the child of a racist president who’s only rteal ability is being black
Shocked that NRO actually published a pro-Trump article. They must be starting to see the writing on the wall.
Somebody’s going to be getting a pink slip by the end of the day.
Perhaps their subscriptions are plummeting.
Maybe she is angling for the recently opened position of a female journalist over at Breitbart!
That was my first thought too.
Comments should actually be in the square brackets [], but it’s usually easy to understand that it’s a personal comment when parentheses are used.
Unless the headline is satire or extremely inflammatory, they aren’t necessary.
Posting the titles exactly as shown ... it’s what separates us from the savages.
(Along with regular tooth brushing and using the correct cases for pronouns.)
I think it gives the impression that the poster thinks readers are too stupid to form their own opinions after looking at the text.
LOL. I’ll try to keep that in mind.
