The left has figured out several methods that successfully work to divide the left and the right. One of their cleverest ways is stirring up race wars, because it has the extra benefit of making the right look bad. The playbook goes like this: Spread the word nonstop that Democrats help minorities and Republicans are racist (never mind that it was mostly Democrats in Congress who opposed ending segregation — people don’t pay close attention to history).
Once this false mantra has been established, label a broad range of normal behavior by conservatives as racist (it doesn’t matter if some of those conservatives are minorities themselves, like black and Hispanic police officers, contradictions don’t matter). Lump all that behavior in with that of the small number of real racists and refer to it as conservative or right wing (never mind that many racists are on the left, just gloss over that). Even better, create a new term that clearly refers to white supremacists, alt-right, and lump in mainstream conservatives. This tactic has allowed the left to write off one of the most popular conservative publications in the country, Breitbart, as racist. Since no one wants to be considered racist, it scares people away from being associated with conservatism.
At the same time, the left aggressively promotes minorities over whites throughout all aspects of society in order to create resentment from poor, less educated whites. They use the most inflammatory language possible and push for the most radical left-wing activists in this area to give speeches and lead rallies. Instead of encouraging a harmonization of race relations, the left encourages voices who want radical policies implemented like race reparations and excluding whites from aspects of society.
The left goes so far as to infiltrate white supremacist organizations and convince them they need to engage in “civil disobedience” to defend things the left has successfully been able to label as racist positions taken by conservatives (even if they’re really not). They take advantage of their poverty and lesser levels of education in order to convince them that these are the most crucial issues facing them today. The left secretly attends white supremacist meetings and posts anonymously on white supremacy websites in order to accomplish this.
This is exactly how the rioting in Charlottesville went down last week. The left stirred up a handful of mainly lower educated people, some who are racist, to engage in threatening protests over the Confederate statue of Robert E. Lee being removed. They were able to accomplish this because the left has been secretly promoting a fanatical obsession with the South among lesser educated, white males in the South in recent years. What used to be a passing interest in Southern history has been transformed into an almost nationalistic worship of its symbols that may have some direct or indirect association with slavery. The left also hyped up the association among radical black activists to further incense the situation. This had the successful result of broadly (and unfairly) tying white males to racism.
Some suggest the overhyping may have contributed to the tragic death of one person at the protest, with several more seriously injured. A man who appears to be part of the protest drove his car into a group of AntiFa counter-protesters (far leftists who are also known for violence), killing a woman. When events like this happen, it gives the left even more support for their argument that people on the right are really bad racists. If it comes out later that the driver, James Alex Fields, Jr. was a Democrat, apolitical or just mentally ill, it won’t matter, the left has already convinced much of society that reprehensible racists are on the right. Perhaps tellingly, an article in The New York Times focusing on Fields has plenty of details about him but nothing about his political views.
The left could have brought race relations to the most amicable level yet under President Obama. As the first black president, Obama could have used his bully pulpit to show that racism has greatly decreased. Instead, he made things worse with his remarks asserting racism where it likely hadn’t occurred, such as encounters with law enforcement. This helped bring about the creation of Black Lives Matter. Increasing levels of racism doesn’t make any sense, considering people are more aware of the wrongness of racism today than ever.
The reason the left perpetuates racial divisions is because it helps them with votes and support. They have to make up a false mantra in order to keep people voting Democrat, otherwise people would desert the Democrats’ failing policies. As long as blacks think Republicans are racist, of course that voting bloc is going to vote Democrat. It also helps the wealthy elites. Left-wing billionaire George Soros and Media Matters founder David Brock have amassed a huge amount of power riling up activists on the left. They stand to lose a lot of money and power if the little people underneath them are not perpetually outraged.
The truth is, there weren’t Trump signs at the protest. This wasn’t a peaceful Trump rally full of conservatives. These protesters were armed and wearing riot equipment. They expected to engage in violence. Don’t let the left get away with the misinformation that these were conservatives. Violence at protests is mostly committed by the left, which is paid to riot by Soros-funded organizations. In contrast, conservatives vehemently oppose violent protests. Stop using the left’s clever, misleading phrase alt-right to describe these violent protesters.
I doubt it though. It is a whole different world online.
This just occurred to me recently...which part of the country was the most segregated? The North of course, because historically the North had few blacks whereas most of the black population was in the South. People in the South had more daily interactions with black people while most people in the North had few or any interactions with blacks.
Funny, isn’t it? How even in the “conservative media” a bunch of white kids beating up on a bunch of other white kids has become a “race riot”. God help us.
I suppose it is impolite of me to say so but when you crawl up on the back of an auto with a baseball bat and start smashing the rear window in the company of several score of your “friends” and end up dead a few moments later I don’t quite see how that qualifies as “tragic death”. Foolish suicide seems more appropriate to me, but maybe that’s just me.
Wondering what symbols or flags are going to be banned that are associated with NORTHERN slaveholders? Which statues and monuments will be removed or destroyed? Can anyone guess which flag will be abolished? Hint: Stars & Bars!!
That is exactly where this is leading. We all know it. Some don’t care.
Goes to show that using the media to spread a false narrative (lies and propaganda) is not a new tactic, only being refined for the current technology and uses...
Displaying the Stars and Stripes has already been banned in places in this country.
I moved from the north to Virginia in the late 1970’s and found the “racist” south to be more integrated and less racist than most places north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Good point.
I bet both sides were funded by SOROS
I hope it starts soon...its the only way this crap will ever be resolved.
The Left is actually stupid. The only thing they do is successfully lie. The Alinsky Method enables them to do the most damage with their lies. Their ultimate lie is that the individual benefits when they submit themselves to the rule of a government that deems them as subordinates. It is a lie that there is a Utopian world to be gained if the elite class is able to do what it wants. It is a lie that creates a fantasy world to keep society on the Unicorn Farm. Anyone can lie, it takes real intellect to find the truth.
D'Sousa:
"In this book, I turn the tables on the Democratic Left and show that they—not Trump—are the real fascists. They are the ones who use Nazi bullying and intimidation tactics and subscribe to a full-blown fascist ideology. The charges that they make against Trump and the GOP are actually applicable to them. The self-styled opponents of hate are the actual practitioners of the politics of hate. Through a process of transference, leftists blame their victims for being and doing what they themselves are and do. In a sick inversion, the real fascists in American politics masquerade as anti-fascists and accuse the real anti-fascists of being fascists."
Is there any video of the person smashing the rear window? I would like to see it if there is one.
No. There is no report that she was on the car with a bat.
Yeah, I have seen it at 4chan. They claim she is the one killed, she was crushed when he reversed into the side of a parked truck. No question she runs up and jumps on and is the first to break the window. If that is her. They claim it is.
I have spent a little time in Albemarle County, and on the original campus of the University, which Jefferson designed, and this is truly sickening.
Also, the very idea that anyone would want to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, one of the least hate influenced leaders in all of human history. Are these yahoos in the media, with their canned narrative, even aware of how significant was Lee's example in binding up the post war wounds in the five years before he died?
I cannot think of our media, anymore, with out recalling the Kipling line, "Damned from here to eternity."
We used to like going up there to visit our daughter when she went there. We loved it but I couldn’t imagine it now and haven’t been back in 15 years probably.
Virginia politics for a long time remained Jeffersonian; but now? It really gets to me how great the difference, then & now.
