White people are so racist, they expect black folks to carry out their 'hate crimes'
[TomKnighton] Time and time again, we’re told we live in a racist nation. We’re told that white people are so racist that the entire system is rigged against minorities.

In fact, white people are so racist, they can’t even carry out their own hate crimes. It seems that we expect black people to do that for us.

What am I talking about? Well, this:

A school in Sacramento, California, suspended two black students after fake money containing racist imagery against black people circulated throughout the campus last week, the Sacramento Bee reported.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS?
Sacramento City Unified School District officials told KOVR-TV the fake money handed out Tuesday at Kit Carson International Academy was for buying fried chicken and alcohol and contained the N-word as well as a derogatory image of an African-American.

The Bee said Principal LuTisha Stockdale wrote in a now-deleted Facebook story post, "I’m sooooo pissed!!!!! To answer your question 2 Black students made these and were passing it around." The paper said efforts last week to reach Stockdale were unsuccessful.

"I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster today. This is the third time we’ve had perpetrators of a racially motivated incident identified as African-Americans," Sacramento attorney Mark Harris — contracted last year by the district as a diversity, equity, and inclusion monitor — told the Bee. "It’s pretty bad when our kids, for whatever reason, think that it would be popular for them to have a negative depiction of our own."


It’s not just at this school, either.

In fact, it seems pretty much every "hate crime" I’ve seen reported in the news turned out to have been either nothing at all—like ropes supposedly being nooses—or were actually false flag-type hoaxes.

My only conclusion is that since there aren’t enough actual "hate crimes," black men and women have decided that they have to pick up our privileged slack and do what white folks apparently believe they’re too good to do.

I’m sure there will eventually be an op-ed all about how black folks have to perpetrate their own hate crimes because white people refuse to do their own work.

Seriously, this is a problem, if for no other purpose than it makes it harder to accept true acts of racist vandalism as real.

The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf was a cautionary tale, after all; one that some of these students should do well to learn.

Racism still exists. I know it and you know it. I’m not interested in pretending it doesn’t.

But you only benefit the actual racists with this kind of nonsense. It means if they do something like this, people are far more likely to just roll their eyes and move on instead of actually trying to find the racists.

Frankly, I’ve never understood the "false flag" thing in a situation like this. I get why a nation might consider such an operation, but for private individuals to try and pretend there are racists everywhere, obviously knowing it can’t be as prevalent as they’re trying to present, just makes no sense to me.

Especially since they tend to be found out sooner or later.

So, to these students—three times in just one school, mind you, I say congratulations. You’re giving all the racists around you all the cover they could ever want. Absolutely brilliant work, dipsticks.

Guess it doesn't matter when so many are actively looking for incidents.

Or as Chris Rock noticed, addicted to attention.

DeSantis interview with Piers Morgan
[NY Post] Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has finally taken the gloves off and launched a blistering attack on his former mentor President Donald Trump.
Here we go. I suspect some of the "nobody but Trump" droolers are going to blow a gasket
In an exclusive wide-ranging interview with me airing on Fox Nation’s "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on Thursday, he said "stay tuned" about his widely expected announcement that he’s running for president and declared: I have what it takes to be president and I can beat Biden.

But it’s what he said about Trump that will ignite a firestorm in the Republican Party.

For months, DeSantis has said nothing as Trump’s escalated his verbal attacks on him, branding his ex-protégé "Ron DeSanctimonious" and "Meatball Ron."

On Monday, Trump went nuts after DeSantis took a shot at him over his anticipated indictment over alleged payoffs to ex-lover Stormy Daniels, saying, "I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair."

#2  Me too. Thing is , if Trump did get reelected it would be the same shit show as his first term. With all the investigations and bullshit.

#3  Elect Mitch McConnell by that logic. Everything will be smooth as silk.

#4  Elect a dead man?

Oh, Biden...

#5  Thing is , if Trump did get reelected it would be the same shit show as his first term. With all the investigations and bullshit.

They'll do that anyway. It doesn't matter whether it's Trump or DeSantis or any other Republican who isn't a total RINO. They hate all of us.

#6  "Trump droolers are going to blow a gasket."

We dont drool, we kek.

Blow a gasket because DeSantis is trumped be the champion against the Deep State and Beltway Swamp... as they tell me, he is the only governor to fire a Soros DA.

Yet he plays along with the insurrection narrative. Takes all the swamp money. Has all the swamp in his corner. Has DeSantis ever condemned the Trump Scarlet Letter Witch Hunt, worst crime since 911? Nope, not by my count.

DeSantis continues to infer Ashley Babbitt is a criminal. Has no comment on our J6 political prisoners. And DeSantis wears the public mask in pretending Stormy Daniels is an honorable witness.

I think we have valid concerns.

-War on Police-
Greenfield: 1% of Democrat Counties Make Up 42% of America’s Murders
by Daniel Greenfield

[FrontPage] Democrats desperately trying to spin high crime rates caused by their pro-crime policies began falsely claiming that crime was a Republican problem. The media began running articles with headlines like, “Red States Have Higher Murder Rates” and “Republicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime — But They’re the Ones with a Real Crime Problem”.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who once claimed that the internet would have no more of an impact than the fax machine, argued that high crime was really a Republican problem and decided to prove it by claiming that, “Oklahoma’s murder rate was almost 50 percent higher than California’s, almost double New York’s.”

#2  Murder being a Red State issue was pretty transparent to any thinking person. They sliced the numbers to support their narrative. It took about 30 seconds of investigation to uncover the actuality of the situation.
