The first rule of America is that everything is racist. If you’re confused about this rule, you’re racist. If the sun rises in the morning, it’s racist. If it doesn’t rise in the morning, it’s also racist. If the earth turns out to be flat, it’s racist.
If a black man dies in police custody and nothing happens to the officers, it’s racist. If a black man dies in a confrontation with black police officers and they’re put on trial, it’s racist.
In response to the Memphis arrests and murder charges (which seem to be disproportionate) in the death of Tyre Nichols, Philadelphia’s finest racist onionskin offers these deep thoughts from a columnist.
Five Memphis, Tenn., police officers were fired 10 days after civil rights activists say they brutalized a young Black motorist named Tyre Nichols earlier this month when he tried to run away from a car stop…
The swift firings were met with rumblings from academics who said that the pendulum was finally swinging toward justice — that the decisive discipline in this case would soon become the model for handling such things. For a moment, I was hopeful that the academics were right, but then I saw pictures of the officers in question. All five of them are black, and when it comes to the calculus of punishment, blackness matters.
The blackness of these officers helped me make sense of the conspicuous silence of the police unions who so readily defend the indefensible in other brutality cases. Their blackness also allowed me to better understand why politicians in Memphis condemned the officers for a beating that Nichols’ family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci described as “violent” and “savage” after reviewing video evidence.
If the five officers hadn’t been arrested and put on trial, it would be racist. Now that they are, it’s also racist.
One significant factor in the Tyre Nichols case is that he doesn’t seem to have had a prior criminal record. He also seems to have been on the underweight side and there were quite a few officers. That’s pretty different than the Michael Brown case. That said, charging the officers with murder seems like the kind of racial overreaction fed by BLM riots and runaway white guilt. Since quite a few of the officers on police forces are actually members of minority groups, the leftist anti-police hysteria was bound to affect them.
Memphis’ police chief is a black woman. The current president of the Memphis Police Association, Lt. Essica Cage, is also a black woman. She issued the official union statement, “The citizens of Memphis, and more importantly, the family of Mr. Nichols deserve to know the complete account of the events leading up to his death and what may have contributed to it.”
Is she a racist?
The obsessive need to see racism everywhere is conspiratorial thinking. And, like all conspiratorial thinking, the Philly Inquirer columnist explains a discrepancy in his racialized worldview, the seemingly impossible prosecution of police officers under the shadow of systemic racism, by once again resorting to racism.
Except that it was politicians caving to BLM that led to police prosecutions. Some, like the Baltimore failed Freddie Gray lynching targeted minority law enforcement personnel, most however came after white officers. The Derek Chauvin trial was little more than a kangaroo court in which anyone testifying on his behalf, including expert witnesses, faced immediate consequences in something straight out of the USSR.
This was never about race, it was about crime. But making it about race is a convenient distraction and a way for the Left to mobilize for the next wave of political and cultural violence against America.
Ha ha ha hahahahah…… They’ve used that term, “Racist” to the point it no longer has any meaning. Black cops bludgeoning a Black man, gee who would have thought, and then we’re left wanting, trying to figure out who is being call racist? I’d call the cops heroes.
So to keep things on the up and up, should we be considering that maybe Black cops should police Black people and White cops can police white people? That is the only way that the term Racist will take a back seat so that truth can be adjudicated.
When everything is racist nothing is racist.
No, not even close. The terms racist and white privilege still have just as much power as ever. Sure, not with reasonable people, but with their targeted audience, they are still functioning at full capacity.
It’s all about “Black Privilege” defined as being able to commit any crime while still being the victim.
Always with the threat of “mostly peaceful” demonstrations,
Funny that sounds just like islam.
This is an old Firewall, but the statistics remain consistent over time and even all over the globe. The demographic crime rates, especially inter-racial crime, cannot be properly assessed without reference to the percentage share of the population. For whatever reason, black crime is uniformly and grossly elevated above every other race. It is an ugly truth.
Lower average IQ. Crime is necessary for survival at the animal level.
Surely native intelligence plays a role – just not sure how much.
Intelligence is complicated, and must be paired with natural aptitudes and CULTURE to achieve societal success,
Western man has an insatiable curiosity, set on fire by the belief that God’s creation is governed by orderly, discoverable rules. This was lacking in Oriental society, despite their long, beautiful history, culture and obviously intelligent populace.
I fear we are being destroyed by those who hate and envy us. They will not join us or create or use what is good about us to make their own culture and nations better (as many Orientals have done).
Those thugs are heroes for beating some kid to death over nothing? Five against one? Are you out of your fucking mind?
Police are not the problem.
Those five poorly trained (new cops) murderers are. So were the other three who just watched.
Yeah, a priori this seems like some really bad police work, and poor training and hiring.
Did you see the different camera footages of his brutal beating? they beat him to death. And I think he was mentally retarded which make it even worse. He called out for his mom twice. He whimpered a lot, too.That’s what kids and adults with the minds of kids do. And the photo of him in the hospital bed with both eyes swollen shut and a bunch] of tubes coming out of his mouth and nose enraged me.
Yeah, very bad all around.
I was just reading about black policemen hired by the British in southern Africa in the 1890s. Such policemen, even if from the same tribe, tended to lord it over their own tribesmen and abuse their power.
Not a chance they’ll get a fair trial. They’ll be judicially lynched as “traitors” to the black community.
I think they’ll be treated FAR more fairly than any white cops would be. In fact, I think they’ll be treated with leniency.
Jeff, can you link me to video of them actually beating him? I’ve wasted more time looking and watching the same videos than I’d like, I hear they exist, but I’m yet to see them. I’ve heard one smack and saw one barehanded(and looked open handed, at that) cuff in all the footage I’ve seen so far. And the fact that it took five of them that long to cuff him says to me they were way too gentle.
If you search “Tyre Nichols beating,” and hit your “video” tab, you’ll find lots of videos. 🙂
“But making it about race is a convenient distraction and a way for the Left to mobilize for the next wave of political and cultural violence against America.” And let’s not forget physical violence. I live outside of D.C. and they’re already putting up fencing around the Capial and other governmental facilities in anticipation of rioting.
If the world’s population were blind-RACISM WOULD NOT EXIST
IF ALL WERE BLIND ON THE PLANET-RACISM WOULD NOT EXIST
Put the blindfold back on Lady Justice and let the chips fall where they may. The cries of “raaaaaaasist!” are powerless when no one reacts to it. “Full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”
I’m a white guy (automatically born racist).
Being a heterosexual white male, I’m also a natural homophobe and a sexist/misogynist.
The fact that I’m Christian also makes me an Anti-Semite and an Islamophobe.
I believe in two genders so that means I’m transphobic. I’m also unvaccinated so that means I’m a conspiracy theorist.
I respect the glag and the national anthem, which makes me a part of the nationwide systemic racism.
I own a couple of firearms, which means I’m a mentally unstable gun nut.
Last but not least, I’m Conservative – which makes me a right-wing extremist Nazi.
It’s a lot to carry around, but I’m cool with it all.
It’s a bit different, of course, but I am reminded of that recent mental hopscotch story where a group of trans women (some still with their male body parts, I assume) claimed to be lesbian, and wanted to sleep with biological women. To which a group of lesbian feminists responded, “Wait a minute, here!”
YES. I remember that. If you are heterosexual, you believe in two genders defined by dna, and your natural attraction is condemned.
If you are homosexual, you ALSO believe in two genders defined by dna, and your natural attraction is celebrated.
If you are trans, you believe there is no no such thing as dna-defined gender, and your reality is assaulted by those who know there is.
Curioser and curiouser.
Weirdos, aren’t they?
Well, in fact it was a group of lesbian “influencers” who decided to reverse course on their most hated institution – marriage. So, by about the year 2000, they started demanding “same sex marriage,” knowing that by democratizing the institution they had previously called a hierarchy of male privilege and patriarchy – they could level it with the bulldozer of gay marriage.
Lia Thomas is a lesbian.
I saw that! What a shocker, lol. And I remember when that was just a lame joke.
Some of the ladies on the team are unhappy enough to speak up about it, since they share facilities. But then william thomas still has his male genitalia, and couldn’t really be a woman, even if he didn’t.
Who’s Lia Thomas?
Love it Colt. I’m with you on all counts. LONG ago I gave up caring about being falsely labeled and name-called. In fact, if I’m ever called any of those labels or names, I just rapidly admit it, and say “now what?” It drives them insane
They were “akkkting white”, A.U.I.W., akkkting under the influence of whiteness. Akkkting white is deadly.
Hey, hey, ho, ho, akkkting white has got to go!
If they learned about the real Democrat Party and its connections with the KKK they would want nothing to do with the DNC
Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
Got a source for you claims there, sparky?

This is a voluntary system of reporting so the numbers aren’t going to be reliable. Why local law enforcement isn’t required to report their stats is beyond me. Now, getting to the states themselves.
Yes, it’s around 500 a year. Problem is your a “white” person is about four times as likely to be murdered by another “white” person. So why would you chose to emphasis the less likely threat? Oh, you are nursing a hate boner.
voluntary systems of reporting are unreliable because of unerreporting. Your argument is that it is really more whites murdered by blacks in America yearly?
Your argument is also depraved and equal to tying a man down in front of lions. So go live in a black-only neighborhood in Harlem and find out your odds of survival yourself.
The FBI, douchebag.
You’re so far behind Jeff. Take your thumb self and go home.
Reminded me of that lady dogwalker with 8 dogs who went into a frenzy and killed her. Sometimes a group goes into a frenzy, each copying the others in a frenzy of violence.
Can’t wait for next June when SCOTUS releases their decision that Affirmative Action is unconstitutional – and racist…
“The first rule of America is that everything is racist.”
It’s actually capitalism and money always wins. Not entirely on topic but your bit of well poisoning is wrong. Not the first time to be sure.
” If you’re confused about this rule, you’re racist. If the sun rises in the morning, it’s racist. If it doesn’t rise in the morning, it’s also racist. If the earth turns out to be flat, it’s racist.”
You then indulge in your usual hysterics. It all makes me wonder if you just use one template or D.Hoe. gave you a little booklet.
“In response to the Memphis arrests and murder charges (which seem to be disproportionate) in the death of Tyre Nichols…”
You don’t know if the charges are disproportionate because as of this writing you haven’t seen the video. Nobody here has but we all know this is going to be your response no matter how horrible the crime.
The problem is you’ve missed the point. Either you are as stupid as you act or are just another rightist who hates his followers. Oppression is the point of the police as an institution and since this is the US it’s also inherently racist.
I know your paycheck depends on you not getting the point Greenfield. You could at least pretend you know what’s actually happening.
So, we’ll put you down for lynching the black cops – no fair trials for cops. Because everyone knows that police always make arrests with perfect non-violence in every single case, no matter how the arrestee resists with violence or resistance. That about it, d-bag?
You’re a liar. At no point did I even imply that. You’re also incredibly stupid because you actually think you made a point.
“Oppression is the point of the police as an institution and since this is the US it’s also inherently racist.” Lmao, way to make Daniel’s point, genius. Still waiting on a link from anyone to a video of this clown actually being beaten.
Well, that isn’t going to age well.
Did you watch the vidoes? They are all over the internet.
Your term “well poisoning” may get you off, but reveals you agenda. Typical for someone who likes being exposed and getting off by doing so. No normal person would be hurt or offended by your perversion, which you want to get off, any more than they would have to bark at a barking dog.
It’s like the 5th article I see this creepy stalker talking about Daniel’s salary. I can just give him a bunch of money for nothing and now he has money. You’re just like this thistle trying to grow on our collective male members and be spiky there, a dickweed.
Black Privilege – the rules of civilization do not apply
Part of black privilege is the sacred right to protest every single time a black person goes down at the hands of the police. Imagine the costs to whitey’s cities. They do.
“The first rule of America is that everything is racist. If you’re confused about this rule, you’re racist.”
Truer words do not more directly define the state of these United States today, and think you can express anything rational or fact-based to the true believers of today’s left. They ‘know’, and that settles it.
All is missing are the crowds gathered for the beheadings of the now mostly their own for the fight ‘against racism’.
How does Ben Crump always end up respresenting all of these criminals?
B/C he is a maggot.
Pay-off dollars..
I am sick of thugs. Wht or B.lk. Lawyer BS.
Jessie . Al.. You’re both on the list. I’ll add O and FJB.
Dividers.
Our country needs uniters.
You wreck our communities and cities….
Nobod
Crump the maggot procured a false witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman trial.
Giving such “policemen” power is liable to lead to their abusing that power.
Such police forces need to be very closely and effectively commanded, to ensure that they don’t abuse their powers.
If you really think about the argument the commie-useful-idiot-for-nazis is making, he’s saying that the black police officers not victims of white supremacy, despite being black, they are its servants. Basically it’s saying they joined the kkk as black ;people.
This is clearly an old commie tactic to convince black people to hate other black people that become cops.
Thanks! (Obligatory additional words because post was too short)
