A Racism Interlude

You might have heard of Tania Fernandes Anderson; she’s this tub of lard immigrant on the Boston City Council who has gone on viral rants about how racist and horrible the USA is. Starting out life in Cape Verde, she illegally immigrated to the USA at the age of ten, only becoming a citizen in 2019. And she learned – in her liberal, New England city she saw how things were…and knew that if you played up to upper class white Liberal guilt, you can get anything you want. I don’t really blame her for working the system – I blame the system she was able to work.

But, anyways, she’s now been arrested by the FBI on theft and wire fraud charges. What? You think that someone who decided to lie about American racism to get ahead would be honest? LOL. Of course she’s a thief – her whole life is nothing but lying and stealing. Guarantee she’ll blame racism for her arrest…but the actual fault is in that whole kickbacks thing. To be fair, this is rather par for the course in Boston politics but it is done a lot more carefully than Anderson did…she likely thinking she was bullet proof on account of skin color and hollering about BLM.

What’s really funny is that, given her background, he family probably engaged in the African slave trade. Cape Verde was a Portuguese territory until 1975 – with the Portuguese, as far as can be determined, being the first human beings to ever set foot on Cape Verde. Sure, she’s got African blood but Cape Verde wasn’t a destination in the slave trade – it was a stop over. That her ancestors never made it to Brazil (by far the biggest destination for African slaves) indicates more “participant” rather than “victim” in the whole slavery thing. And remember: the Portuguese were the first humans to arrive in Cape Verde…it wasn’t the occupation of a place with an indigenous population. So, not only does Anderson not have much of a legacy of slavery to deal with, she also doesn’t have a legacy of colonialism. And she never lived in America during slavery or Jim Crow. In fact, she was privileged from the moment she set foot here…but this didn’t stop her from making a living based on ranting about racist oppression.

This is the level of dishonesty we’re dealing with these days: it is just lie after lie after lie and we’re supposed to just swallow them all. Back in the heyday of BLM she went viral for her rants in the city council (naturally with cameras rolling!) and woe to anyone who called her out on it…she was an authentic voice! Except she wasn’t American by birth…she might as well have been a Swede. She had nothing to do with America’s past…plus or minus (save a chance that her ancestors helped transport slaves to the USA; that is a distinct possibility). She was a fraud from the get go…and we had to put up with her. And still do. Even if she goes to jail, we’re still going to be supporting her…and if she doesn’t go to jail, or gets out after a slap on the wrist (likely) then she’ll probably still find some way to live off the public dime.

And here’s the real outrage of it all – she’s ultimately making her living by being racist. She stands there (waddling a bit, she really needs to drop some weight) wagging her finger at white people, as such. That is the definition of racism; ascribing certain qualities to a group based on immutable facts such as skin color. We ran out of American racism some time ago – the small amounts we have left are getting swastika tattoos in prison between bouts of meth dealing. So, we’ve started importing it…in the most ironic aspect, we’re importing it from Africa.

And think about the Penny trial…this is the final result of “reverse racism”. Back in the old days, white prosecutors would go after any black person who caused trouble. And using loaded language would get the larger population to view such with suspicion so that it was easier to railroad the target. Now in NYC we’ve got a white man who came to the defense of, among others, people of color, but because he defended them against a black guy, he’s on trial for manslaughter. How is this any different from Jim Crow, just with the skin colors reversed? This is the really bad long-term effect of letting the Left get away with calling America racist and/or saying that white people are inherently racist – it otherizes white people and makes them the bad guy no matter what. Once again, no different from what happened to black people under Jim Crow.

Leftists call this “restorative justice”…to translate that for you: because black people were treated unjustly in the past, we’re going to treat white people unjustly in the present. And then say mindless drivel like, “to the oppressor, equity looks like tyranny”. As if Penny oppressed anyone! His only real guilt is being white – being good looking and a Marine just makes him worse. You just know the Leftists in NYC look at him and go, “I bet he voted for Trump!”.

We really need to start to push back against this – it is illegal to oppress people in the USA. No; seriously. Massively against the law. We passed these laws to stop white jerks from screwing over black people. But, guess what? The laws are color blind. As, indeed, all American law always has been…it doesn’t say “don’t oppress black people, but take a stab at the crackers”. No; the law says you can’t oppress anyone. Period.

Time to start using those laws.

They Want You to Lie

You might have seen the exchange between Senator Hawley and Professor Khiara Bridges. Bridges is absolutely insane. Stupid, too. Someone who knows absolutely nothing but whatever Marxist drivel was shoved into her…and then she was advanced in the legal career because as a POC who could regurgitate the Party Line on command, she was just what Diversity demanded. But there is a very sinister aspect to her – and I’ll be generous and say she, herself, might not understand it. Mindless mouthpieces like the Professor are such because they are mindless, after all. But consciously or not, what she is demanding is that we all become liars.

In the exchange, what the Professor insists upon is that saying only women can get pregnant is transphobic and is violence against transgender people. Think about that – she’s saying that if you state a biological fact (“women get pregnant”) then you are killing people. It is an absurd thing to say. It is insane. But, it is crucial to the Left’s agenda – because sane, tolerant people don’t like to get into confrontations. We like peace and quiet. And, so, faced with someone like Bridges, we start to trim our sails…maybe not all at once going along with it, but carefully editing our own words to cause the least offense possible. But, folks, we’re trying to cause the least offense to people who are insane liars. I don’t think this effort has an upside to it.

The crucial thing for the Left – all the time and on every issue – is to get people to lie. To get them to concede, even if only partially, that the Left’s lie is true. Think about it – when the Floyd issue exploded the Left’s Party Line was that racist cops were hunting down unarmed black men just for the racist heck of it. Not wishing to cause offense, people on the right hemmed and hawed about it – instead of just calling such claim what it is (an insane lie), there was an attempt to not be confrontational. You know how it went, “sure, there are racist cops and there is much racism in America and all of us are saddened by the unjustified death of George Floyd, but…”. And everything after “but” was pointless…because the lie had been agreed to. Maybe not exactly in Leftist terms, but enough of it to make any policy response to the Floyd death in line with Leftist ideology. Had we true courage on our side, we would have said the truth: Floyd died because he was a stupid, high as a kite and passing funny money. Had he not be stupid, high or breaking the law, he’d still be alive. That a cop was involved in his death was pure happenstance – Floyd was going to an early grave, cops or no cops. The example in my mind while this unfolded was my late elder brother: died because of a stupid drug-addict fight at the age of 50…because he was stupid and got high and then got into a fight and so he passed out on asphalt in the summer sun and his brain cooked to death. It could very well have been an interaction with a cop that killed him…but, it was another drug addicted bum who did him in. And it didn’t matter – my brother is dead because he was stupid and high; the particular circumstances of his death are irrelevant.

And I know that seems harsh and perhaps it is – but it isn’t like my brother didn’t have any agency. He had a thousand chances to alter course. He was given aid by family and friends over a many year span of time…all he had to do to live a nice life was stop being stupid and getting high. Lots of people have successfully navigated this and gone on to happy, productive lives. It isn’t a miracle: it is an act. A choice. A decision. Some people never make it and pay the price for their folly. George Floyd and my brother: same/same.

But the Left doesn’t care about that. Didn’t and doesn’t care that Floyd is dead, either. Floyd was just what was necessary for the lie: a black man who died in custody of a white cop. Once that fact was established, all the Left did was tell as story based on the Left’s lie – that racist cops hunt down black people. And it worked – by and large, almost the entire Western Establishment went along with it. But do keep in mind that the Floyd case wasn’t just to advance a false Narrative of racist cops…it was to make it impossible for cops to police our cities and thus allow for an explosion of crime which the Left will then use to advance their biggest goal: the breakdown of American society as “proof” that a free market system governed by people who believe in God doesn’t work. Crime, in the Left’s view, is the result of an unjust system…and by getting the cops out of the equation, they can now proceed to the social destruction which, in their minds, will force people to turn to the Left for a solution.

And it isn’t just one lie – it is a lie about everything. Racist cops, men can get pregnant, illegals are mere migrants, etc, etc, etc…are all designed with the same purpose, to get us to go along with the lies and so make us defenseless as society falls apart…after all, if we’re liars, how do we call out the Left and demand they stop? Can’t: not if you’re a liar, too. But the Left is making it so that just to live in society, you have to lie.

Put the breaks on it – concede nothing. Whatever the Left is saying is a lie. It can’t be other because the Left’s ideology is based on lies. Push back against the lies – this will take some courage and some of us who do so will suffer social and economic pain. But it must be done. The Leftist Emperor has no clothes and if we can merely say that, the Left will lose.
