Last
week I talked about that
ingrate Aziz Ansari and how
nobody stops to question Indians when they complain about racism, even though
they represent the wealthiest ethnic group in
the country. Nobody even notices they’re Indian. They just
see a brown person pointing a finger and immediately kowtow to whatever
ridiculous narrative is being spat out. The most over-the-top example of this
just blew up the internet and involved
an NYC K–8 school that teaches white children they are evil and rewards black
kids with cupcakes. Anshu Wahi, the school’s “director of diversity,” is behind
an initiative that uses segregation to reward “kids of color” and isolate white
kids while insisting they’ve been racist since birth. It’s wildly absurd, but
it’s also what she was assigned to do. This is what many Americans expect us to
believe, especially women such as Executive Director of Faculty Diversity Cathy Cramer, who hired
Wahi. And the bogus rants of story time aren’t reserved for backwards schools
on the Upper West Side. The majority of the mainstream media parrots Wahi’s
fairy tale.
That’s why a
roomful of journalists gushed when Hasan Minhaj blamed
the Oregon shooting on gun violence. “Gun violence” is code for “legal gun
owners,” which is a fancy way of saying “white people.” They like talking about
the mass-shooter epidemic because they assume mass shooters are white, but
that’s just more fiction. I’ve heard estimates as high as blacks being three
times as likely to be mass shooters when balanced with population proportion,
but even Mother Jones admits that white mass shooters are at least on par with
every other race. Unfortunately that doesn’t fit the bedtime story so we remain
focused on Dylann Roof’s Confederate flag. The media closed its eyes and went
to sleep when Bonifacio Oseguera-Gonzalez shot four people, leaving three dead,
in Oregon last week. He had already been deported six times and as Hot Air reported on
Saturday,
“You start
to wonder why the children’s-book narrative is so much more popular. It
involves so many more deaths.”
Oseguera
went on his killing spree within days of the anniversary of the death of Kate Steinle.
Her killer, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, had entered the country illegally
five times before finally killing Kate in San Francisco and her family has
still not received an adequate answer as to how they lost their child.
A traitor’s
father is invited to the White House to praise Allah while millions die in the name of jihad, but
our own citizens are ignored when our porous borders leave them dead. You start
to wonder why the children’s-book narrative is so much more popular. It
involves so many more deaths. Ethnomasochism doesn’t just leave you massacred.
It leaves you with nothing. That’s why they call it suicidal.
By reacting to shootings with gun-free zones you are creating a
safe space for more shootings. It’s bad for everyone and that includes the
minorities these myths are meant to protect.
The media
has been totally silent about it, but a legal gun owner just prevented a mass
shooting at a black nightclub in South Carolina. Thirty-two-year-old Jody Ray Thompson shot into the crowd after getting into
an argument and injured three people in the wee hours of June 26. He was about
to hit a fourth, but that man had a concealed carry permit and shot Thompson in
the leg, ending the attack. This is not only a great example of how guns make
people safer, but it also shows how promoting legal gun ownership benefits
blacks in the hood even more than, say, ranchers in Texas (and it
benefits Texans a lot). The
media is silent on this version of events because it’s a story not suitable for
children, so we turn on the TV hoping there’s some feel-good awards show that
tells us white people ruin everything.
The BET
Awards were broadcast the same day Jody Ray got shot. It was the usual dog and
pony show of people pretending race isn’t a thing while praising themselves for
being black. The tone became revolutionary when Grey’s Anatomy star
Jesse Williams hit the stage. He was there to accept the Humanitarian Award for
his efforts in the Black Lives Matter movement and spoke in this affected
ebonic pentameter that sounded like the Last Poets doing a Martin Luther King
impression. The cadence was the message in this rambling speech that
included strange allusions to killing cops if white people don’t stop killing
blacks. “We are going to have equal rights,” he demanded, “or we will
restructure their function.” (Colin Flaherty did a great parody of this
premise.) It’s the kind of faux revolutionary claptrap that does well in
classrooms where you’re preaching to the converted as Williams did on a daily
basis when he was an African-studies teacher. As long as what he said sounded
cool, everyone gobbled it up. Whether the story was fiction or not was
irrelevant. My favorite part was when he claimed that “paid public servants
can pull a drive-by on 12-year-oldplaying alone in the park in broad
daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich.”
What? You
honestly think cops hunt boys such as Tamir Rice for sport and then shrug it
off and go make lunch? Rice pointed a BB gun at the officers that looked
exactly like a real gun. There was no orange tip on it. They tried to get him
to put it down but he refused so they shot him, which is what they’re trained
to do. This happens all the time and it
has nothing to do with racism. It has to do with not getting shot. To assume
these police nonchalantly peg off little boys for sport requires a Dr. Seuss
level of suspension of disbelief.
This didn’t
stop the audience from giving the speech a standing ovation. The praise rang
out for days, with people writing poems about
Williams and calling him the new Jesse Jackson. They pushed for Jesse Williams Appreciation Day,
and Justin Timberlake agreed until he was shut down for being white. Everyone
clapped because they’d heard that story before and for some reason they think
it has a nice ring to it. Williams was effective because being a teacher in
this day and age is being a storyteller who spins yarns about innocent victims
(whoever is doing badly) and evil villains (whoever appears to be doing well).
Women love stories like this because they are genetically predisposed to being
nice and positive. As they take over academia and media we get more feel-good
fiction and less ugly hard truths. Unfortunately, they have wandered so far
into Narnia, it’s getting harder and harder to get back to the real world, and
that’s dangerous. To train rich Indians to chastise white children is to
sabotage our culture. To pretend mass shootings committed by Muslims or illegal
aliens or black criminals is somehow a legal gun owner’s fault is to leave us
vulnerable to more. And to pretend that society in general is at war with
blacks is to incite them to more violence. They may be dying to tell us a
story, but we don’t want to die. Story time is over.
