Feel the guilt. The “societal guilt”.
Biden says Americans should have ‘societal guilt’ over gun violence – NBC News
“We should have societal guilt for taking too long to deal with this problem. We have a moral obligation to pass and enforce laws that can prevent these things from happening again,” Biden contended.
The vast majority of “gun violence” involves gang members in cities run by Democrats shooting each other.
There’s some “societal guilt” here in that the number of homicides vastly increased after 2020 when Americans were bullied into accepting the insane racist lies of the Black Lives Matter hate group which accused the police of genocide and claimed that all the criminals were innocent victims of systemic racism.
The FBI’s numbers are in and they show that Black Lives Matter and its corporate backers killed more black people in one year than anything short of an African civil war.
3,595 black people were murdered in 2019. But in 2020, 5,839 black people were murdered.
That’s an additional 2,244 black people killed.
56% of the murder victims of 2020 were black.
But Biden, like the rest of his radical faction and its media hacks, want to pretend that gun violence is all about crazies like Adam Lanza shooting up schools to imitate the Columbine boys. Gun control doesn’t stop crazies from trying to kill a bunch of people.
This year we had a school shooting in Europe that killed 17 people, a school shooting in Brazil that wounded 14, one in Germany and 34 people killed in a pre-school massacre in Thailand.
The media keeps pushing the big lie that school shootings are some sort of unique American phenomenon. They’re not. Gun bans don’t fix them. Having armed personnel on staff can.
Biden’s faction unleashed criminals across America and then demand that the rest of us feel “guilty” for not disarming ourselves and giving up our civil rights in the face of a violent onslaught by his murderous base.

That’s one benefit I received from growing up and being abused in a mostly black city. Namely, no guilt feelings about their issues. I did apparently have guilt feelings in my youth. I still have guilt feelings about some unrelated things.
Funny thing is, a lot of whites I know who didn’t have such bad experiences do have guilt feelings, which are exploited by the left. Such whites fall for the leftist narrative and are delusional.
Even some whites that suffered worse abuse than I did still do have guilt feelings. I guess my inclination towards critical thinking is a factor in my case.
To make it more of a personal story, one sucker punch by a black kid at school set my life on a different trajectory, while another white kid who was chased by mobs of black kids at school when MLK got shot is still somewhat sympathetic to their situation.

Having had a similar “lived experience” I completely share your views on this regard. And it’s not “prejudice.” It is what I refer with my made-up word “postjudice” (viewpoint come to by way of experience). People who went to lilly-white schools are unencumbered by real world experience and thus have the luxury of their unsupported, self-flattering beliefs.

Thanks Daniel! I didn’t know that.
One new thought this article triggered is the fighting techniques the black kids learn in such environments. Rough, crude, and deadly. I obviously had that thought in my head for many years, but never found the words to articulate it clearly. The sucker punch, for example. They all seem to know that, see it often in news videos.
Laine says
What’s more of a “sucker punch” than the “knock-out” game, also known as the polar bear game of young blacks punching any non-black passerby unprovoked, laughing and recording it. It’s resulted in grave injuries and occasional fatality e.g. a Japanese senior gentleman out for a stroll with his wife.
Honk Canuck says
Plenty of people grew up in shitty environments and they turned out to be respectable, decent, law abiding citizens. The problem with so many today is they have been brainwashed by institutions and politicians into thinking they are victims and that the world owes them everything they desire. Responsibility or accountability for your own actions is something that has been absent for quite some time. Today it matters not how decent and qualified you are, but if you have all the check marks on the woke boxes, that is all you need. Guns dont kill people. Warped shitty attitudes in unstable maniacs kill people. But telling that to our woke PM here in Canada and you could get your bank account seized.

My wife was also from a project. I never carried a knife until I dated her. It was not for my protection. Sometimes concern begets wisdom.

“Postjudice.” That is a great word. Wouldn’t it be great to have it enter modern parlance?

We gotta stop all those crazy white KKK dudes that are seen running into the Projects every single day of the week and shooting those lovely peaceful educated blacks folks dead in their tracks….. Ah wait a minute… What ?.

lol, that reminded me of Jussie Smollett 🙂
Who would be dumb enough to believe that 2 white guys wearing MAGA hats would venture into the Chicago ghetto at 3am on a freezing cold winters night looking for a fight? Why, MSM and Hollywood, of course 🙂

When a society does nothing about mental illness, that causes gub violence-let those who refuse tro deal with mengtally ill adolescents as mentally ull take responsibility

A little psychology 101:
Psychopaths are experts in manipulating their vicitm’s feelings, that’s how they control their subjects. Mostly by making them feel guilt, remorse or shame.
The BLM is made up of criminals who’s only goal is for the criminals to get away with their crimes, and get more free stuff on top of that. A total psychopathic ideology.
And behold, anybody who stands up to their lies and manipulations is called racist. Lefties are total suckers when it comes to that.

Why does this article sound like it was written by an angry high school kid?

Seeing the actual conditions that form the bed-rock of criminal behavior – I don’t ‘feel’ any guilt, and won’t be burdened by Biden’s woke handlers for the reign of terror made by their leftist delights.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Look a the faces of the men at the head of this article. I find it ironic that Mr. Greenfield also posts a story about Ben Carson today. The primary problem Dr. Carson had to overcome was himself! He reveals that he was consumed by anger and rage as a child.
Anger and rage is what I see in the photo at the top of this article.
TruthLaser says
Carson cites scripture about a man conquering his anger is greater than one who conquers a city. He attributes that to his growth.
David Mu says
The standard leftist, not growing, confuses anger and rage as the fuel for the ‘revolution’.

“You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.” Thomas Sowell
Kynarion Hellenis says
Thomas Sowell is very wise. He also personifies the necessary truth that those of us (like me) who have Kasandra’s “postjudice” must always give room to find a friend, a brother, or counselor in every human being we meet.

Who is going to tell”Bite Me”that you can’t pass Laws that prohibit Breaking The Laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like Cherokee, the Korean language had no written form. Hungul works, but some complex thoughts require Chinese pictograms.

We should feel guilty when we do not speak out against the enemies of our society & our nation when they use propaganda & bullying tactics to manipulate citizens into taking on foolish attitudes or disarming themselves in the face of obviously unprincipled enemies.

Anti Semitism is borne of the same evil as racism – envy.
Jews are people of generally higher intelligence and accomplishment. So naturally, you will find them at the top of a wide range of endeavors and in positions of power. And being people, just like you and me, would you expect them to be free from the evils that plague all humanity? When they put their hands to do good or evil, would you expect either to be of little consequence?
Jewish good far outweighs Jewish evil. But it is evil and shameful to see every member of any race or creed as all good or all evil, especially when so much of the benefits and blessings you take for granted can be traced to the blessings of Abraham.

Fill us in on your considered, worldly appreciation.
A man of your obvious incisiveness can expand all our understandings.
Don’t hold back, we are are all adults here.
We have hints at how they operate. First, they shorten their names, dropping off syllables.
Then, the surgeries, as their horns and tails are removed. So cleverly do they disguise the scars, that without the short name clue, one would forget to search for them.
You can fill in the details. I only know the outlines.
Glad to have real Jew hunter here, a true man-of-the-world, lending his services.
