Trump’s indifference to being called a racist may be having a wider effect
Decarlos Brown Jr. should never have been on the streets. The man suspected of murdering 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August had been arrested 14 times in almost as many years, charged with armed robbery, shoplifting and property damage. According to his sister, he is a schizophrenic who suffers from paranoid delusions. But he was free to roam in part because of the race hustle.
Want to fire an employee? Good luck if that employee is black; such a dismissal would be presumptively racist
For decades, pointing out that any action, public or private, had a black target or fell disproportionately on black people was sufficient to discredit that action, regardless of whether it was couched in terms of race or had a racist intent.
Want to fire an employee? Good luck if that employee is black; such a dismissal would be presumptively racist. Tempted to criticize a government official for alleged incompetence or unethical conduct? If that official is black, think twice, since blackness is used as a shield. Try to jail a serial violent offender, such as Brown Jr., who happens to be African-American? That would contribute to racial inequity.
The idea that racial disparities in arrest and incarceration rates reflect discrimination and not disparities in criminal offending has been a staple of Democratic policymaking for years. The “systemic criminal justice bias” conceit has led district attorneys across the US to stop prosecuting and stop seeking jail terms for a host of crimes, simply because penalizing those crimes would have a disparate impact on black criminals.
North Carolina has embraced the disparate impact idea. In 2020, after the George Floyd race riots, then-governor Roy...

Let’s see. There was the OJ trial-mid-90’s. Then there was the Kenyan(2008-16) and then there was George Floyd-2020-all this over 30 years. The left will never seize an opportunity to seize an opportunity. It’s sad there was no one to call them out earlier whether it was blacks or the left. Why has no one on our side said blacks have to stop killing each other?
Trump doesn’t need to say it. We’d be much farther ahead if the 70’s were allowed to continue. Just think. The violence of the 60’s was over, people were coming together and the music was all crossover.
Embers were allowed to fester over the hate for Nixon/Reagan. Guilt kept our honest realists in check. Trump is making up for the last 60 years of Great Society lies.
The Left are notorious for using contrived name calling techniques because they lack the mental capacity and skill to debate or otherwise express themselves effectively. Unfortunately for them, the technique is so time worn by now that it only registers their arrogance and ignorance.
You go with what works. Now they’ll turn to something else. A loose conglomeration of groups that really don’t have that much in common. Do you think blacks really care about global warming? Obama did-that is if you believe him.
Psych drugs again.
Black violence as a way to handle adversity has to be dealt with.
