My latest at PJ Media:
Wondering what kind of effect the race-hate propaganda that bombards us every day is having, I decided to do a deep dive on Twitter to see what some of those who actually believe that the racist hatemongering of Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a good thing are saying. To find this, I searched for two Twitter shorthand words for “white people”: wypipo and ytpipo. Here’s some of what I found:
- White people are “exercising control over under-represented minorities due to white power and fragility, as well as love for money and power.”
- White people are “obviously terrified of anything that appears to different.”
- White people have a “savior mentality.”
- White people “go out of their way to join subtle asian ____ groups but then spend all their time telling asians why they’re wrong about their own cultures.”
- White people “start singing the national anthem whenever they start crying about being ‘oppressed.’”
- “Uneducated” white people “are the easiest, most gullible group to manipulate in America.”
- White people “stopped trying to prove they aren’t racist.” However, white people “want our features so badly they think money can replicate them.”
- White people should have spent Juneteenth “servicing black folks & opening your mfn purse PERIOD!!!”
- White people “would never freely give power and money to the people they’ve violently and despicably oppressed for hundreds of years. Think about it. Forcefully taking it back is the only way IMO.”
- White people “think they ‘found’ this land, they convenienlty [sic] forget the decimation of American Indians and 400 years of slavery. That’s why R’s r trying to prevent CRT, they don’t want people to know the real truth.”
- White people are “fighting so hard against the TRUTH of #ameriKKKa being taught.”
- White people “erase our memory of where we come from and then charge us to try and find out.”
- White people “like dogs more than humans who are disadvantaged.”
- White people “accept outright, violent racism.”
- White people are all Republicans.
- White people “do everything with violence.”
- White people are “monsters.”
- White people “are sickos.”
- White people “are crazy AF.”
- “Everyone hates” white people.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for the deep dive info.
Someone put out a documentary video about how totalitarians create their societies. This post by Mr. Spencer shows the documentary to be right on the money, as the ‘left’ attempts to create a totalitarian government in this country.
They have decided that they are “right” and no matter what, they won’t listen to anyone because they have decided that if someone tries to debate, explain, argue another point of view, that person is trying to oppress them and they fight ever harder not to listen to reason…or even to think about listening to reason.
Over the years, I have had many friends of other races. I also knew a few who only pretended to be my friend, thinking just as those quoted think. One came right out one afternoon and said, “White people don’t have a culture.” I replied, that “yes, we do,” and she asked, “What is it?” I thought to myself, how dumb can this person…educated, good job, liked by many…be on this subject?
As for blm… that group created to agitate, has proven that MMM…money matters more.
The “common” person who believes this way is just brainwashed and deluded. The top tier know it’s all a pack of lies. Straight from satan the devil.

Somehistory
Races and continents don’t have cultures: there is no White culture any more than there is a Black culture or Hispanic culture or Asian culture or Oceanic culture. Those are things one finds in smaller subsets of people. In other words, there is American culture, Canadian culture, South African culture, Brazilian culture, Vietnamese culture and so on
That’s the thing that bugs me most about today’s racists: while obsessing about race, they can’t even get the races right. All ‘Whites’ are not the same race: there are Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Franks, Germanic, Italic, Slavs and so on. Same for ‘Blacks’: people from Kenya are very different from people in Nigeria or the Congo, and don’t remotely share the same culture. Also, people in the southernmost parts of India – where half of Kamala’s parents are from, as well as Sri Lanka – are as black as African Negros (am I allowed to say it here?), but culturally have nothing in common w/ them
somehistory says
This I know, Infidel. But, she specifically meant people like me….White from the Southern U.S. We were having a conversation and she suddenly said that to insult me. When I said, “Yes, we do,” I meant me and my family and others like me with foods, dancing, clothes, etc. in common. When she said, “what is it?” it just sounded so dumb…because it was all around her to see for herself. She had been in my house, ate my food, etc.
I have gotten to know people from all over the world without going out of the U.S. and each has their own way of doing, talking, etc. even though many are the same skin color.
So, I know of what you speak. Btw, when I was young, several Black people came to the farm where we lived and my father was a sharecropper…although to Blacks today, Whites were never sharecroppers…and they would work alongside us and they called themselves Negroes and that’s what we called them. It was not an insult to them. We even called ourselves “crackers,” as in Florida crackers, and my father was a Georgia cracker.
Some years ago, I met a Black man and his wife, who at first, treated me as though I was an enemy…you know, White…but after they got to know me, we became good friends. He told me that Black people like he and his wife called their children the ‘n’ word so they would not see it as an insult if someone outside their family called them that.
It takes time to get to know people, but once we do, there are things we have in common although we can be really different in so many ways.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
Excellent post, my compliments.
If critical race theory CRT really takes hold, whites and “people of color” who previously got along well – and even formed friendships – will become hesitant to even engage.
After all, wouldn’t want to cause a possible “microaggression”.
The path of least resistance will become AVOIDANCE – and I see it happening already…
Chrissie01 says
it is actually easy to spot the BLM is a movement inciting racial hatred, where there should be reconciliation.
‘White culture”…the answer is easy: White culture is an inventive spirit in view of problems.
White culture is – if you want to be authentically black – all that you should give back – never to use again . that was initiated or invented by whites: Combustion engine, electricity, mass production of clothing tissues, economy of scales, flushed toilet, stoves connected to a public grid, traffic rules, antibiotics…prostethics in medicine…the Cesarian, probably even the chemicals to relax African hair. etc etc. etc.

Wellington says
Every totalitarian ideology needs a “them’ to hate, even eliminate.
Mankind’s newest totalitarian ideology is Western Leftism and their “them” is an entire race.
This is both stupid and evil, replete with massive ignorance as well.
No good can come from this. But then no good has ever come from any totalitarian ideology. Power has often emanated from a totalitarian ideology and even at times ruthless efficiency, but never anything that is good, decent and wise.
somehistory says
Wellington,
When I was in seventh grade, I heard some of the other students talking about me. I was very shy, painfully shy, and had very low self-esteem. It hurt to hear that they said I was ‘rude,’ and other things.
I spoke to a very kind teacher about it, and she said, “Just say to yourself when you hear them talking about you, “Who better to talk about.”
I’ve tried to remember that when I hear people or read where I am the subject and it’s not the kindest or truest thing being said.
But this thing going on now…about all White people…is as you say, just plain evil.
I know I am not doing those things Mr. Spencer found that are being claimed. I don’t know any White people who are.
I watched Gov. DeSantis yesterday and he had some people who had come here…legally…from other nations where the government is totalitarian. Those people speaking about their personal experience living in that kind of place could teach these in this country who are complaining….and lying…some very important lessons…but, I know these liars would not listen. They are out of control.
Wellington says
Thanks for that comment, somehistory. I know it came from the heart.
Heap of trouble right now here in America and almost all of it is coming from the Left. Not sure where future history will end up. It’s a matter of truth and freedom prevailing. Sadly, the modern Left knows nothing of either, indeed has a contempt for both. Islam is an enemy of the best of the West but the Western Left is the chief enemy.
Time is way overdue to marginalize both Islam and Western Leftism to the point of near extinction. Hope this happens. Not sure it will.
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington. The “left” is trying to destroy everything good. What do they expect to have “left” when they are done?
Psychopaths are unable to see the end results of their actions. So, to destroy everything good, these people can’t see there will be nothing worthwhile remaining. Psychopathic behavior.

Some white people don’t count as white because for all intents and purposes their soul is black (in more ways than one). It’s long been believed that Bill Clinton was the first black President.
Infidel says
CES, I’m just surprised that the woke mob, which has decided that people can pick their own pronouns, hasn’t yet swapped the colloquial meanings of white == good and black == bad. One would have thought that that would have been the first to go
somehistory says
Infidel
I have also thought about that…black is bad, white is good, even though they have begun to see all white things as bad, they haven’t yet made the word jump.
White clothing is still seen as clean, dirt is black and who wants dirty clothes, etc. It is a natural thing and has never had anything to do with race, to use the words this way, but it is a wonder that the racists who want trouble haven’t begun to fume over it.
It all has to do with light and darkness, but that doesn’t matter one bit to the troublemaking liars.
In the Bible, “darkness” represents evil and ignorance, while “light” represents goodness and even Christ and God.
CogitoErgoSum says
I think in certain Asian cultures the color white symbolizes bad luck or death or mourning. I’ve read that some Native American tribes regard black as being symbolic of power, strength and victory. However, when it comes to the human soul, I’ve never heard anyone say that having a dark and black soul is preferable to having one that is a bright glowing white. But then I don’t think most of the woke mob believe there is such a thing as a soul so to them contemplating its color would be a complete waste of their time.
James Lincoln says
Infidel,

Groups of people evolved either light or dark skin in order to survive according to their location on the Earth. Those who don’t like living around white people should move to the locations on this Earth for which they are best suited to thrive. Nations with majority white populations are no longer enslaving black people. Black people who are currently living in majority white nations are free to go wherever they wish to live their lives. I wish they would either move to countries with little or no white people or just stop all their complaining about how bad white people are. It has grown tiresome.

Perhaps I’m “old school”, but I still follow the guidance of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Makes me wonder how the Rev. would react to what is going on in the United States circa 2021…
CogitoErgoSum says
Rev. King believed in God and the system of moral values taught by Christ. Since the mid-1960’s that value system has been been in steady decline. There are still some men who think as Martin Luther King, Jr. did but there are few of them left. One that I admire is Thomas Sowell but not many people pay much attention to him:

Working class people of all colors are switching to the Republicans because they support domestic jobs for working class Americans, so the Dems have turned their backs on the American workers in favor of Third World illegal economic migrants who are being brought into to outvote them.
The Dems are killing domestic American jobs so fast, there won’t be any ‘working class’ left soon, let alone middle class.
The Dems want all low-wage work to be done off-shore by slave labor in China for instance.
The Dems are creating a two-class social system and a one-party political system.

What I Learned on Twitter About ‘Wypipo’ (White People)
…………………..
Thank you, Robert Spencer, for exposing this sick stuff.
How can anyone think this is *not* racist?
And this is not just on Twitter. Here’s more ugliness:
Wypipo are deathly worried about radical Islamic terroristm (sic), but won’t acknowledge that the vast majority of terrorism in America comes from white people.
Wypipo are pro-life when it comes to abortion, but cool with the death penalty and police brutality. Those wypipo will tell you that “pro-life” is just a term to describe the anti-abortion movement, that it has nothing to do with issues of police violence and capital punishment. But if you mention the movement that focuses on State violence against black bodies, they will quickly say, “but what about black on black crime?”
Wypipo believe kneeling during the national anthem is unpatriotic and disrespectful to the men and women who lost their lives defending this country…
https://afropunk.com/2017/03/wypipo-explained/
This goes on to say that Ben Carson and Geraldo Rivera are also “Wypipo”.
I guess this explains how those like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Candace Owens are “white surpremacists”, despite being Black…

The bitter irony in all this is that, as Dennis Prager has opined, never in human history has one race done so much for another race as has the white race in America done for the black race in America over the last 60 years or so. I know of no example that would place this effort by white Americans treated in the aggregate in second place in this regard.
I detect vile projection in this demonization of an entire race. Obama really stoked the flames here and we are still living with the results. It’s part of the reason why I think Obama the worst President in American history though at the rate Biden is going (and, OMG is he pathetic—not even all there and it is so obvious) he may “outdo’ Obama.
CogitoErgoSum says
I think the biggest mistake made by white people at the end of the Civil War was to expect former slaves to be able to go out and fend for themselves in a land dominated by white people, the large majority of whom saw those former slaves as being dumb, ignorant and slightly less than human. Some sort of system should have been set up that would have helped those slaves who were set free to return to Africa if they wished to do so. I don’t think it’s too late to do that even now. That is the one form of reparations that I would support.
Michael Copeland says
“Liberia began as a settlement of the American Colonization Society (ACS), who believed black people would face better chances for freedom and prosperity in Africa than in the United States. ”
wikipedia
Wellington says
Well, CES, the Freedmen’s Bureau was established towards the end of the Civil War to help freed blacks with transitioning. It was run by an honest man, General O. O. Howard (after whom the black university in DC is named), but corruption and inefficiency often prevailed with subordinates. It lasted until around 1874.
As Michael Copeland in his 10:26 A.M. post of today noted, Liberia was founded by the American Colonization Society as far back as 1822 to send blacks back to Africa. The thinking prevailed at that time among many well-intentioned whites that whites and blacks were not destined to live with one another Liberia became independent in 1847. But here was a HUGE PROBLEM: The vast majority of blacks did not want to go back to Africa. They told whites that they were as American as the whites were, that many had ancestry by the mid-19th century that went back some 200 years here in America and they no more wanted to go back to Africa than whites wanted to go back to Europe. Thus, only some 15,000 blacks made the journey to Liberia (where ironically they became the ruling class over native black Africans to their disgust and it helps to explain a lot of Liberian history to this day).
I am highly sympathetic with the black Americans at that time. America was their home and Africa was as foreign to them as many European countries were to whites whose ancestors often times came generations before to America (my own ancestry is German and Polish and I have no desire to live in Germany or Poland—though if I had to choose I would take Poland). Abraham Lincoln entertained a scheme to have free blacks move to the Caribbean but this too came to nothing as blacks en masse didn’t want to go.
I see today’s racial problems as almost entirely being one of ideology, not race. Conservative blacks understand this quite well. The further Left one is (whether black or white) grievance politics of one kind or another ruins so much and creates all kinds of unnecessary hostility. For a long time now, I have said that if 99% of black Americans woke up the next day committed Ronald Reagan conservatives this would do more to help black America (and by extension all of America) than a thousand years of Leftist politics ever would or could. Oh yeah, it’s not the race, it’s the ideology.
CogitoErgoSum says
I do understand that many former slaves would not have wanted to leave the land of their birth even though they had been held as slaves in that land since their birth. Once released from bondage they were completely free and entitled to go wherever they pleased (in theory) and America was as good a place as any for a free person to live. However, I think most of the former slaves wanted to have as little to do with white people as possible and tried to avoid unnecessary contact with those who looked like their former slave masters. The problem was that it was practically impossible to live separate but equal lives in a land filled with Whites – and taking over a small section of the U.S. and starting a state composed of only Blacks was just not feasible.
The solution to the problem that’s been tried over the past 60-70 years or so is to force Blacks and Whites to live together and accept each other as equals under the same system of government – a government which is now being called racist simply because it was designed by white people. So that altruistic attempt at unifying Blacks and Whites is not working any better than the prior system of trying to live in peace under a system that was separate but supposedly equal. Equality is no longer considered to be enough and now “equity” is being pushed as a solution and in my opinion is an idea also doomed to failure. People who don’t want to live together cannot be forced to live together without the eventual result being warfare.
However, yes, I do feel that people who want to live in the U.S. should be able to live here without regard to their race but if they themselves regard the established government and the principles upon which it was founded to be inherently racist, then they are NOT here to help build the nation and to preserve and protect its Constitution but are here to destroy the country and to replace its government with something else. Therefore, I am completely in support of allowing those who have decided this country is not for them to LEAVE this country and I believe they should be given every opportunity to be able to find another country that IS to their liking. I would even support giving financial aid to those who claim to be oppressed because of their race by paying their moving expenses and giving them up to a year’s worth of income to help them get started in another land. I think in the long run it would be the most cost effective way to go.
Anyway, that’s my thinking for what it’s worth and I’m inclined to believe that the current problems in the U.S. are due to BOTH race and ideology and our enemies know that and are now taking advantage of it because making us focus on our racial differences is the easiest way to cause division among us, thus making it easier to conquer and destroy us.
somehistory says
CogitoErgoSum and Wellington,
My penny…may not have two pennies’ worth.
Regarding “equity,” that is not possible, and I believe many of those demanding it know it is not.
Two artists painting cannot have the same success if one of them is more talented, skilled, has more desire to succeed, etc. Any or all in any combination changes the outcome, which is what equity is all about.
and I have sympathy for those who left home and family to come here….as slaves. But all of those people are dead and buried…except for the ones who are kidnapped and trapped by human traffickers of course, and sold to pimps, etc.
There are descendants of the former Black slaves…sold by mozlums in Africa…living here. Many of them are happy to be living here and would not wish to go to Africa where they have never lived and wouldn’t know the languages, customs, laws, etc.
However, if one does not want to live under a government that allows one to leave, why stay and complain, or worse, commit violent crimes, thus proving that they don’t belong in a place that allows a great deal of freedom?
There is a song about the young Irish girl of 15 who came to Ellis Island (because of the potato famine ) and knew she would never see her homeland again. That is sad. She died in the U.S.
But, if those Blacks who were born here think that Africa or some island is a better place…with equity…then they should not hesitate to leave.
Because of their complaints that the government was built on racism, they wish to tear it all down and build another one built on racism.
They, in fact, like it here and won’t leave…they just want to complain and make all of the trouble possible for the power trip it gives them.
One can see that in their posture when speaking….yelling, cursing, lying…about their complaints and making demands.
Not for a moment would they give up their cell phones, computers, jewelry, microphones/cameras, homes, cars, etc. to go where they might not have any of these and their complaints met with answering violence.
somehistory says
One last point about equity: The two painters might both be talented, but one may paint what others wish to buy, while the other painter might not …and customers shouldn’t be forced to buy what they don’t want, which is the only way the two painters could have “equity.”…equal outcomes.
In a class discussion once, the subject was music from Asian countries and I said I was not fond of the sounds of it. Another student accused me of racism…because I didn’t like the music we were listening to and discussing.
CogitoErgoSum says
Somehistory, I know I sound like a racist but for the life of me I can not understand why anyone would stay in the U.S. if they hated the majority of those who are living here. If having people surround me who are of the same skin color as mine was important to me then I would hope that I would have the courage to move to a place that satisfies my need. But for a large number of people it’s just easier to complain. As for the language barrier the official language of Liberia is English and the same is true for Ghana, a country that was recently calling for black Americans to come, become citizens and help them build their country. However, I don’t think Ghana’s appeal got much attention from the media in the U.S. because, you guessed it, it was viewed by the woke as “racist.”
BTW, I am with you on not caring very much for the sound of far eastern music – but then, you guessed it, I am a racist (and love being just who I am).
somehistory says
CogitoErgoSum,
I agree. It used to irritate me to watch sitcoms where the Black family would move into the house next door to the ‘stars’ of the show…whichever one it was…and then complain that the ‘star’ and his family were racists. “You don’t want us living next to you, ” etc.
One of the last places I lived was in a majority Black neighborhood. I was warned by a young Black girl that it was the “hood” when she saw me moving in. I said it didn’t matter to me, that I would leave others alone as long as they didn’t bother me.
It was soon to be that all of the kids in the ‘hood’ would come to my door, ring my bell and when I opened it, they would talk, sometimes ask for water, or if I sold candy/ice cream, and one of them even would bring me little gifts, some she made herself. I took photos…with their parents permission…of two sisters and did a portrait of them. I also warned them about knocking on the doors of strangers, and one day, the older sister sought refuge with me from a gang who was after her.
One day, one of the newest to my door asked me, “Why do you hate Black people.?” I responded that I didn’t and asked why he thought so. He pointed to something someone had written on my window that he could not read and said, “That says you hate Black people.”
I don’t understand why, as you said, that some live where they hate everyone not like them. With mozlums, it’s the goal of making us all bow to their fake ‘god’ and false ‘prophet.’ But, with Blacks…the reasons are not clear. I have some vague ideas, but can’t be sure, so I won’t venture guesses.
And, as I have said before, I have bi-racial grandchildren whom I love.
Country and old rock and roll. Some classical works, and one big band number I for which don’t know the name, and “In the Mood.”
Far Eastern just sounds too tinny…no drums.
Like Popeye said, “I am what I am and that’s all what I am.”

I lived in a small rural town in mid western Minnesota, under 2500 people for 45 years. We were a very close community and we had Mexicans, Blacks, Asian, and there was a Lower Sioux Indian Reservation just 16 miles South of my home town. I never thought about or heard anyone talk about racism, we were just people. I had a black cousin that lived in Minneapolis ( long story short, his mom was cheating on his dad with a black man, and his dad found out the day he was born. He still made him his Jr. and treated him as his own) but as a kid when we would go to visit family there he would never let his white girl cousins outside alone, he told us to stay away from the N’s because they would hurt us. As a child I thought they were just mean kids, but as I got older I asked Lenny, why they hated whites, he said he has asked them the same and they couldn’t give a reason, they just did. I have live in rural North Texas for 10 years now, and I only see racism on the internet, or what people want to call racism, when a white person doesn’t agree with someone not white. I only see it getting worse, black violent criminals are being made into idols, politicians like Ilhan Omar has something to say about people of color every single day. I have always looked for the good in a person, their character has always been what’s important. I just don’t know how this will ever get better. Morgan Freeman said that the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and to get rid of things like black history month, black beauty contest and so on, and now they have added juneteenth. I’m just going to keep being me, and if others want to hate, I’ll let their hate eat them from the inside out, what else can we do?

I know some wypipo absolutely thrive on this and want you to stay within that box which is going nowhere fast. A lot of them make an very good living from it, so why would you ever only listen specifically to those wypipo? They’re never going to do you any good..

Sad. I think that many many people will simply avoid and choose to have little/nothing to do with black folks in the Future…

This is how more and more white people feel these days–and given the social and political climate, who can blame them?
Chrissie01 says
it is actually easy to understand the BLM is a movement inciting racial hatred, where there should be racial reconciliation. But if it is absolutely wished for, there you go:
‘White culture”…the answer is easy: White culture is an inventive spirit in view of difficulties.
White culture is – if you want to be authentically black – all that you should give back – never to use again . that was initiated or invented by whites: Combustion engine, electricity, mass production of clothing tissues, economy of scales, flushed toilet, stoves connected to a public grid, traffic rules, antibiotics…prostethics in medicine…the Cesarian, multi-storey buildings, and probably even the chemicals to relax African hair. etc etc. etc.
Chrissie01 says
I forgot all scientific research and principles of scientific research, collective and solidarity-based social and healthcare systems, telecommunication…codified language for the deaf, training dogs for the blind, anatomy based on the resection of corpses, modern anestethics for operations, the microscope, laser technology, plastic surgery…

Actually, there have been black inventors and scientists. But yes–many more whites have been. And most inventive black people have lived and been educated in western societies.
somehistory says
Peanut butter…a staple and tasty food. I believe George Washington Carver first made it.
And according to the M.A.S.H. episode where a racist was injured, a Black man invented transfusions.
All “races” of the one race…the human race…have had a share in inventing, improving inventions, etc. The racists just need to recognize this and stop making trouble for everyone by claiming constant victimhood.
PBS had a show “1900 House” and it was all about modern people going back to a century ago and doing without anything invented after that year.
Ask any racist who denies the benefits brought by the White people, admittedly more men than women, who “brought forth a new nation,” what things they would care to give up because they were invented by a White person. To live only with those things invented by one of their race.
I really like peanut butter, but it was not made by one of my ‘race’ except that he was of the human ‘race.’
But trouble-makers enjoy making trouble. And these current ones are using race to do that.

Blood transfusions seem to have originated in Europe, probably England.
Blacks have invented more than peanut butter, though.
somehistory says
“Dr. Charles Drew, the African American doctor who invented the process for separating blood into plasma for storage.”
This is what I was attempting to recall. Transfusions were attempted long before they became successful.

And, of course, Black people have invented more than just peanut butter.
It’s just that the product has been a staple of school lunches, work lunches, snacks, ingredient in cookies, and other recipes.
Most people are familiar with peanut butter.
If you named many things invented over the years, you probably wouldn’t be able to list things that are better known, used and liked than is peanut butter.
Naming one thing was all I needed to do to show that not all things were invented by Whites or Jews. Everyone that wishes can make a contribution if they try.

Thank you, Somehistory. And you are right about Dr. Charles Drew.
OLD GUY says
Sometimes it seems like the black people who get everything from the government and the elite wealthy need to find something useful to do all day instead of sitting around blaming others because they are unhappy with life. Get a job or do something to help the handicapped and stop destroying our freedom.

Police office Chauvin who is white has to arrest a violently resisting arrest black drug addict who dies while he tied to take him into custody get sentenced to 22 1/2 years for murder? Police office Noor a black Moslem shoots from inside his police car an unarmed white women who is standing outside his police who called the police for help Noor gets 11 1/2 years for manslaughter ?Who seem to have privilege here ?Did white people or anyone else riot ,burn loot over her death ?Did anyone call to increase training or up grade screening process of hiring of police offices after this women was shot because she” startled ” this shaking bag of shit officer by walking up to his car in her night gown? ?Where was the MSM coverage over her death or over Noor court case and sentencing?
somehistory says
This is all too true. the mozlum “officer” basically got away with murder…sentences don’t usually last more than about half-way what is ordered. And he murdered her on purpose.
The police are trained to react properly when “startled.” If he had to shoot her because he was too scared not to, then he should never have been given a gun and put on the street to “serve and protect.”
But, since he is a rabid mozlum jerk, he should never have been hired to be trained and put on the street with a loaded gun…because rabid mozlum jerks are prone to murder.
The victim’s family tried to get justice for Ms. Diamond, but as you point out, no riots, no burning, no lies and hardly any media coverage of her murder.
wpm says
The most important point is he should never been appointed to the police force at all! Basically Islam is a supremist system putting a devout Moslem in charge with authority and a gun puts non_ Moslems in danger. I think it would be better for everyone in America if theses Moslems say in their Moslem control shitholes.
wpm says
Chauvin case he should go to jail ,but at a reduce sentence for manslaughter in my opinion .By the way thru-out the the Chauvin case race was never a factor if Floyd was a large white drug out his mind felon resisting arrest and he also had a heart condition the end results would have been the same.
Jim says
The obsession with race does not seem to be because there was massive racism before Obama. The civil rights movement had won against racial discrimination. The Democrats such as Biden and Byrd were the last gasp efforts for segregation. I think what the Democrats are doing is simply trying to silence any opposition to a massive demographic change intended to make the Dem party the ruling party on a permanent basis. The Dems see in Africa, for example, how anti-colonialism can lead to a permanent one-party rule by the formerly oppressed peoples. They want to duplicate this pattern in the USA. For example, is it likely that the Democrats in Minnesota will lose power over the Twin Cities? Will Ilhan Omar be voted out of her seat in Congress? This seems unlikely. So the key issue is to move as many people from the 3rd world in as possible, by open borders, refugee resettlement, chain migration, anchor babies, diversity immigration, etc. And once here, the have to have voting rights and be tied to the Demo party by big welfare benefits. This seems to be defensible, because anyone opposed is obvioiusly a white racist supremacist.
wpm says
BLM movement is truly a black supremist movement coupled with communist roots. The present old(very old) democrats at the lead of the present democratic party are selling their party out to hold onto power till they themselves are on their death bed. President house plant Biden is the post child of the leaders of the very old democratic party senile old way beyond his sell by date wandering around the Whitehouse keep on a short leash by his handlers and thieving family members(Hunter).The up and coming young members of the democratic party are more openly communist then democratic in their beliefs they are not even trying to hide the ball any more. The way the democrats have been fighting to federalist the American voting system so they can have illegal aliens, people in prison, voter harvesting, and even the dead vote them into office is unbelievable.

There is a new movement in the air : BLACK GUN MATTERS and it is what we need . Check it out .
somehistory says
Jesus Christ gave an illustration of things to come when He told His disciples about the “King who travelled abroad and gave his three servants money in differing amounts, according to each one’s ability, expecting them to do business until He returned.”
When He returned, He found that two of his servants had worked and made a profit for Him, but the third had not liked the way His Master ruled, and so hid the money in the ground. Jesus said that the servant should have “deposited the money with the bankers,” if he couldn’t think of working to make a profit and this servant was “thrown into the darkness outside.”
This illustrates that with imperfect people, there is no equity among everyone given something with which to work. It’s a fact. Nothing can change it.
