Real-Time Racism

So, what’s wrong with this picture? Anybody? Would anybody like to venture a guess as to what could possibly be wrong with the above vignette? Anyone at all? Don’t be shy! Shall I set up the situation? The White kid — I shall call Whitey Punk — was bullying a younger Black kid, which prompts an older Black teenager — I shall call Mr. B — to step in by confronting said White punk. Well, as one could readily imagine, the White folk don’t take kindly to being challenged by the Blacks — call it a relic of slavery and Jim Crow. To be sure, Whitey Punk pushed Mr. B first. And, to be clear, I do not consider Mr. B’s first contact to be aggressive; he was pushing Whitey Punk’s raised arm away as any good defensive move would dictate. Let me reiterate: Whitey Punk was the aggressor. Then come along the cops who, of course, go right to Mr. B as being the criminal element even though at that moment he was on his back and Whitey Punk was on top of him. The lady officer guides the White troublemaker to the couch and offers him milk and cookies as he waits while she helps her partner subdue the obvious Black ruthless agitator. Naturally, both cops must kneel on Mr. B because that’s the only way to wrangle a wild animal. I love how the MSM calls this incident an example of “implicit bias” by cops. No, no! The racism is pretty f***ing G.D. explicit! Welcome to stupid America!
