Blackness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not black, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of Black Lives Matter decisions from 2020.He had much else to say, but you get the picture. This man is clearly a racist, a hater, and is promoting murder. Actually, he's promoting genocide. I would hope all Americans would join me in deploring, not only what he said but also the fact that the media has been uncommonly silent about this public advocacy of the violent extinction of a race of people he despises.
Blackness is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it. I guess a vaccine could work, too. But we’ve had 400 years to develop one, so I won’t hold my breath.
I'm quite sure that everyone who has read this feels disgust that anyone would think as this man does, and perhaps you wonder, too, why he's not being more widely censured. Indeed, you might be wondering, in light of the vigilance of our cancel culture in sniffing out racism, whether he still has a job.
Well, perhaps if I confess to a bit of chicanery you'll understand perfectly why our media has ignored this cancerous blight in our social body. The author of this ugly rant is not a conservative writer.
He's a black man named Damon Young who writes for a black-oriented commentary site, and everywhere in the quoted passage where the words "black" or "Black Lives Matter" appear Mr. Young referred to "white," or "whiteness" or "white supremacy" (You can read the entire article here).
The sentiments he expresses would be justly considered despicable were they penned by a white racist as I originally rendered them, and they're no less odious when penned by a black man. So why does Mr. Young get a pass from the media? Would similar hate-mongering by a white racist have been greeted with almost complete indifference by our media?
If a white writer had called for the extirpation of all blacks, or Jews, or Asians, what would the media reaction have been, do you suppose? Yet, like many on the left, our media seems to take no notice of minority racism, no matter how vicious. In their cockamamie way of seeing the world it's okay to be a racist if one is non-white, but a paramount evil if one is white.
There's a lot of talk currently about racial "equity." Well, one place equity is desperately needed is in our discussion of the phenomenon of racism. The idea that only white racism is evil or that only whites can be racist is not only ludicrously stupid, it's also terribly divisive and counterproductive.
It's counterproductive, that is, if our goal is racial harmony. If the goal is racial division and hostility then screeds like Mr. Young's are extremely efficacious.
