Note to Black Lives Matter: Literacy Made Civilization

Note to Black Lives Matter: Literacy Made CivilizationJocelynn Cordes – Over the past several decades, many of us who were associated with the humanities noticed, within the ranks of its academic practitioners, an incipient displeasure with Western civilization taking hold and gradually developing into outright hostility.

This attitude was at first manifested by a growing reluctance to engage with the vast literary output of Western man, whose creative strivings were summed up dismissively as the work of “dead white males” and consequently deemed irrelevant to the late twentieth century and beyond. If “educators” had their way, those geniuses would be silenced, for as white men, they have nothing to contribute, and therefore they had no reason to continue their conversation with the world.

BLM Founder Backs Trump Amid Fears Of Dems Mad With Power

BLM Founder Backs Trump Amid Fears Of Dems Mad With Power Jessica C. – Joe Biden and the Democrats have so blatantly weaponized the Justice Department to do their bidding that now even some of the most far-left Americans are realizing things are getting really scary in America.

That includes one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, Mark Fisher, who has warned that the January 6 prisoners rotting away in jail are very obviously political prisoners – something which is NOT supposed to happen in this country.

Fisher, who co-founded the BLM Rhode Island chapter, is now the executive director of Maryland-based BLM inc. Continue reading

Straight Talk on the Latest Riots

Straight Talk on the Latest RiotsClarice Feldman – Riots broke out in Memphis and are rapidly spreading through the usual urban areas. The purported rationale is the horrific beating to death in Memphis of Tyre Nichols captured on video and released by the police. As Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) observes, Nichols’ beating was administered by “Black officers in a majority Black city with a Black police chief.”

The officers involved have been criminally charged, but the media to which every Black killed by a cop is just proof that we are still in the Selma, Alabama world of decades ago — another case of some innocent Black person victimized by racist oppressors. Continue reading

Black Lives Matter: An Empty Slogan

Black Lives Matter: An Empty SloganCivis Americanus – The status of Black Lives Matter as a credibly alleged race-hustling fraud against the trust of the American people was reinforced during the past week, as reported in “Wilkes-Barre man charged with nearly striking officer, selling crack cocaine.”  A nearby crowd nonetheless took the suspect’s side during the confrontation: “a crowd gathered and began yelling, ‘Black Lives Matter’ and hurled expletives toward officers, according to court records.”

The police in question arrested this individual because Black lives matter.  Crack cocaine is just as capable of messing up the lives of a drug-dealer’s Black customers as it is of his Caucasian ones.  There are in fact roughly four drug overdose deaths for every homicide in the U.S. (100,000 versus fewer than 25,000), so police who care about all human lives will arrest those of any race who essentially poison their customers, again of any race, for money.

Egg on the Face for Black Lives Matter Supporters

Egg on the Face for Black Lives Matter SupportersCivis Americanus – Black Lives Matter, as led by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), is now collapsing visibly, as its supporters and indeed some of its leaders distance themselves from it like rats from a sinking ship.  Even as long ago as 2016, the movement was condoning and even encouraging Black people to threaten people on the street, commit arson, and drag people from cars — actions that can result in the justifiable deployment of the deadly force about which BLM complains.

The violence escalated in 2020 with widespread rioting, looting, arson, and physical assaults, and Kyle Rittenhouse’s Caucasian assailants were among those who were shot justifiably by the people they threatened. Continue reading
