What’s that?
All week long I heard the media NOT report a racially charged police incident. That’s odd… according to social justice activists, we are led to believe there is war against black men waged by the police. I would think the media would not be able to resist reporting the casualties of this “war”, providing a daily litany of the dead.
Kaepernick posited this in a recent public interview: The
“Racialized oppression and dehumanization is woven into the very fabric of our nation — the effects of which can be seen in the lawful lynching of black and brown people by the police, and the mass incarceration of black and brown lives in the prison industrial complex,” Kaepernick said.
I offer a rejoinder to this allegation.
Here is a list of deductions that lead me to believe that this “racialized oppression” simply is not so…
- If there were racially charged police incidents, the press would not fail to publicize them.
- The press compulsively publicizes controversies to capitalize on public obsession with political and social strife.
- The press is not reporting such controversies on a regular basis. In fact, the incidents are rare and often misrepresented.
- Therefore, I deduce that there is, in fact, NOT “lawful lynching” occurring at all by the police… nor a war waged on black men
A sciamachy is an act of fighting an imaginary enemy…
Colin Kaepernick unnecessarily injected racial strife into the NFL by mounting a useless, pointless protest against a sciamachy. The “rampant racism in law enforcement” does not exist in the 21st century. Cries of racism have been injected into clashes with police when it is not truly the issue. This grandstanding at the expense of fueling racial strife needs to stop.
