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.

The racial disparities in life expectancy had been narrowing for decades. In 1993, white Americans expected to live 7.1 more years than Black Americans. In 2019, the gap was 4.1 years. But the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black people reversed the trend. In 2020, white Americans were expected to live 5.8 years longer than Black Americans.


I guess to comply with equity we white folks have to die younger

Or maybe Blacks need to take supplemental Vitamin D.

Chicago really brings the expectancy years down for blacks...

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

Tucker explained how this kid was totally nuts and everybody knew it.

Came to school for a week in a hazmat suit, made bizarre faces, best a cat to death and beheaded it.

And these evil leftist bastards are actually saying it’s not allowed to say he was mentally ill, it’s only white supremacy.

Also noted how Biden didn’t fly out to the scene of mass killings by muslims.

Because, that’s not a problem.

The trend in the country up to at least 1990 was very good. Race didn’t matter very much at all. Not to whites, anyway. And not too much to blacks either. People got along, and probably 95% of the country agreed that racism was a bad old idea.

That’s all changed. Because of Al Sharpton and BLM and Obama and many other black activists who sell nothing but hate.

I know very well that a large — LARGE — percentage of blacks really hate whites and blame us for everything in the world.

And guess what? There are plenty of white people today who have utter contempt for anything related to blacks. Didn’t used to be like that. But there you have it. A whole lot of whites hate blacks. And the black people have no one to blame but themselves.

Black culture needs to go fix itself.

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.

“I guess to comply with equity we white folks have to die younger”

You don’t know how right you are. You don’t expect them to do anything positive to solve this? Then they’d lose the race baiting gig.

These people (communists) are evil and we need leaders to stand up to them.

They’ve got not just minorities but a whole generation hating this country.

Kendi X comes up with another bogus, racist argument. The millions of illegal aliens breeders that have flowed across the border are slated to replace native white Americans as the majority demographic. It has already occurred in big cities with dire results.

Kendi X is too stupid to see that blacks are being replaced as well in large part due to abortion.

Ibram Kendi is brown in complexion. He chooses to identify as black adjacent rather than white adjacent, probably because there’s more money in the black racist racket these days. Real black people — you know, recent arrivals from Africa — probably laugh at him. Personally, I don’t pay much attention to him, and I can only chuckle at the credulity of our academic and media establishment who take a mixed race fellow as the gatekeeper of authentic black identity. Whatever.

I AM looking forward, however, to Ibram’s article — if he ever gets around to writing it — about how he proposes to abolish half of his own ancestry. He does seem to have a deep seated inferiority complex about his black half, which he chooses to weaponize against people who are less melanin endowed.

I guess it never occurred to this ignorant lump of $*** that blacks should stop killing each other and start taking care of themselves.

It’s easier for such malcontent morons to just blame whitey.... and all the “terror.”

What a POS.

Simple……

Don’t be obese. Eat a balanced diet. Sleep well

All those things help

Hey Ibby,

Chicago runs about two dozen or more shootings every weekend with a half dozen or so getting killed. It’s almost exclusively black on black crime.

I’ll bet most all of them loved strawberry shortcake, too.

Kendi’s god is his racist ideology. It underlies, defines and explains everything he sees.

If young black men didn’t kill other young black men in horrendous numbers, and if blacks were not twice as likely to be obese as whites...

Guess I need to stop taking trips to the ghetto and handing out free guns and Twinkies to the helpless blacks! < /sarcasm >

Or maybe lay back on the strawberry shortcake.
