Did you happen to catch Nick Cannon’s mid-July rant against the White races, people whom he says rob, steal and rape because they are melanin deficient, because they lack that “soul” or compassion typical of Black people which is in fact an inherent by-product of their color? While his Racist onslaught was given only cursory attention in the mainstream media, he was fired shortly thereafter from “America’s Got Talent” by NBC, a decision which he denounced as both “racist” and “divisive.” It was not, apparently, his assertion that all White people were “savages” that was divisive, but NBC’s reaction to his truly idiotic rant. That he demanded an apology from that network is an indication of just how thoroughly the Left has convinced its “victimized” minorities that they are always in the right, no matter the ugliness or ignorance of their behavior.
Just a few days ago, in Wilson, North Carolina, five year old White boy Cannon Hinnant, while riding his bicycle in front of his father’s home, had his brains blown out by his Black neighbor, Darius N. Sessoms. His murder was witnessed by his two young sisters! Sessoms, who had an extensive criminal record, had nevertheless been a guest at the Cannon house the day before and seems to have had little reason to execute this perfectly innocent child. No doubt his act had less to do with Race than his dysfunctional mental state. But what is truly appalling, indeed truly racist, is that Rome Smith, a Black, New Jersey juvenile detention officer, posted on Facebook that the child “should’ve ducked,” blaming Cannon’s parents for not watching him and ending his post with “F Y’all!” By “Y’all” it’s pretty clear he was referring to White people in general. He has been duly suspended from his job. But imagine the explosion of moral outrage, indeed the charges of “systemic hatred,” had a White man slaughtered an innocent Black child. Imagine the indignation on the Left should one even suggest that Racism is perhaps far more prevalent among our various minorities.
I have already alluded to the July rant of Black Democrat Monica Cannon-Grant against Massachusetts Republican Rayla Campbell in which the former questions the “Blackness” of the latter, suggesting, because she had married a White man, that her integrity had somehow been compromised. Cannon-Grant calls Campbell a “heifer,” invoking the ludicrously unscientific principle, one no doubt shared by Nick Cannon, that “white vaginas and white penises jeopardize” one’s “melanin.” This is ignorant racism at its mindless worst. Yet both Ayanna Pressley and Joseph Kennedy, devout Democrats, continued to support her in her political aspirations. There is, it would seem, no end to the hypocrisy and intellectual degeneracy of the political Left.
In mid August, John Thompson, a Democrat who had just won his primary in House District 67A in St. Paul, assembled his B.L.M. followers before the Hugo, Minnesota home of Police Union Leader Bob Kroll, declaring “Blue lives ain’t shit. If people of Hugo don’t support Black people, fuck Hugo.” As if his message wasn’t perfectly clear, his rant included “You think we give a fuck about burning Hugo down?”
The minute you cease viewing people as unique moral/intellectual Beings and begin categorizing them in terms of some superficial aspect of their Identity, you are well on your way to being a racist, misogynist, homophobe, etc. But it is in precisely such stereotypical terms that the Left invites its adherents to approach the world. The notion of “privilege” implies a condition that has been arbitrarily imposed by force or accident. But when Oprah inveighs against White privilege, she conveniently ignores the irrefutable facts of history, including both the achievements of White, Western Europeans which led to their ascendancy and the rarely mentioned fact that it was Black Africans who sold their own people into Slavery. Complex social/political/economic issues reduced to Them vs. Us, the world simplistically divided on the basis of ethnicity, a reductive perspective which in fact makes Oprah, however unwittingly, a Racist; as, of course, is anyone who would attempt to rationalize a heinous crime simply because he shares the same skin color as its perpetrator; or, indeed, those who would conclude from the behavior of a few that White cops are all evil, that the police need to be disbanded, indeed that “Blue lives ain’t shit.”
