Kylee Zempel, assistant editor of The Federalist, recently wrote that the current mainstream media and others on the left are using the bait of “racism” to incite more violence than in the days of former President Trump. She said, “While those who do so mislead people into believing that racism is rampant, they ignite a fire of divisive destruction that can only end in broken tiles and dead bodies.”
The following is a translated excerpt from Kelly’s article.
Adam Toledo is a name that has probably filled your newsbox in the past month. He was a 13-year-old Mexican-American boy who was shot to death by a police officer on Chicago’s West Side a month ago. This week, that name was replaced by Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenager who was shot and killed by Ohio police.
In both cases, leftist politicians and Twitter-“verified” “journalists” couldn’t wait to post their stories, despite the lack of facts, videos or details, with headlines that read, “Racist cop shoots Unarmed Minority”.
In both cases, the stories were proven to be completely false. On Wednesday (April 21), we learned that Bryant was not standing unarmed in the driveway when her weapon was taken away, or casually holding a knife, or dueling with another armed kid in a “knife fight. When the officers arrived, she stabbed another black girl who was pinned to the car, after she had already attacked another girl nearby. She was armed with a sharp weapon and was quite dangerous. The officer, despite being accused of racism by the White House, saved the life of at least one black girl.
Not only did the reporter start the Toledo narrative with the same racist police rhetoric, but when the officer’s accompanying video was released showing the boy holding a firearm before he was shot, CBS News cut that part and also said nothing about the boy holding a firearm. Meanwhile, politicians peddled the story that Toledo was “unarmed.
These false stories are no accident. As has been repeatedly shown recently, corrupt media and politicians are neither surprised nor embarrassed when they see accompanying video and key evidence emerge to debunk their initial “story.
That’s because they make up more than they really report. They don’t get clicks and influence by finding and reporting the truth, but by providing a consistent “story” to people and politicians. Thus, every lead and headline seems to be a variation of the “black lives matter” argument.
Even when they issue false corrections, they are usually invisible and are immediately covered up. Thus, the narrative is set before the details of the case emerge, and it is much more powerful than the facts, and it can stir up emotions and revolutions.
The media know this; the ruling class knows this. They can infiltrate critical race theory into public schools if they can convince enough people that there is systemic racism in America, and they have done so.
Fanning the flames
There is no doubt that these media and government elites have created or exacerbated racial tensions, which have grown and pressured countless uninformed members of the American public to the brink of collapse. While the ruling class quickly evacuated to New York high-rises to broadcast or observe and tweet from the safety and comfort of their offices, un-equipped police officers and innocent shopkeepers were forced to defend themselves against an emotionally charged American public that wanted nothing more than attention and destruction.
Nothing to do
But those who throw out racist bait don’t just create or exploit alleged police brutality. They also do everything they can to inflame people’s emotions, including concocting racist hoaxes. The news about Jussie Smollett dominated radio and television for days, with incendiary rhetoric from current Vice President Kamala Harris and Senator Cory Booker (D-NY) even calling it a “modern-day lynching.
The Big Lie
Back in January, the media, Twitter and left-wingers in the halls of Congress reported that “Trump fomented the rebellion.” They said he was both a “secessionist” and a “fascist” and that he posed such a serious threat to public safety that his social media accounts were closed and Democrats immediately drafted articles of impeachment again. And when Trump urged the Capitol mob to go home, calling for “no violence, no lawlessness and no vandalism of any kind,” the Twitter ban prevented the news from spreading.
Despite the horror of the day’s events, the ruling class lied and reinforced their false reporting. The New York Times peddled a false story that rioters killed Capitol police with fire extinguishers, and AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) claimed that Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tried to murder her.
The left’s bigger lie is that the entire United States of America – including whites, police, institutions and norms – is rotten to the core and irrevocably “racist. Peddling this false racist lie bait has incited more violence than the Trump era. While those who do so mislead people into believing that racism is rampant, they ignite a fire of division and destruction that can only end in broken tiles and dead bodies.
As Shelby Steele put it, “America’s original sin was not slavery, but the use of racism as a means of power.” As the ruling class uses tragedy to accumulate more and more power, the American people will become increasingly powerless as they become pawns in the war on racism. Many have paid with their sanity, others have paid with their livelihoods, and some have even paid with their lives.
