This sympathetic shift in white attitudes should not surprise Peter Kirsanow, the longest serving member of the US Commission on Civil Rights. A prominent black conservative, the employment lawyer has spent two decades, since he was first appointed by former President George W. Bush, meticulously reviewing studies, testifying to Congress, and offering specific policy prescriptions to address racism and racial disparities in America. We reach him in his Cleveland, Ohio law office where he describes the storefronts on the streets below, smashed and ransacked from riots that swept through just a few nights before. Nevertheless, the 66-year-old who has lived in the same house in the same inner city black neighborhood for forty years is bullish on racial progress.

Kirsanow, the son of a steelworker father and a mother who cleaned houses, has long argued that while racism in America exists, many academics, activists, and politicians exaggerate its significance and, worse, mislead African Americans to believe that white racism remains a meaningful obstacle to individual black achievement. He tells Die Weltwoche, “If I believed that blacks were being targeted, as is the prevailing narrative, by police officers and that such targeting has been increasing, and blacks were being hunted and killed as a result, I mean, my goodness! I might be out there rioting myself!”

But his review of the data tells him that not only are African Americans not being hunted by racist cops, “The good news is, in terms of overt discrimination and racism in this country, we’ve never lived in better times, and that’s the truth. In my lifetime, it was permissible to segregate on the basis of race and also to deny employment opportunities on the basis of race.” Kirsanow insists, “There’s been significant progress. Heck! We’ve even had a black president.”

The local paper had an article about the claim that black teachers were better for black students. One of the people the paper interviewed was the principal at a school where I had substituted and later taught for a year. The principal replied that the color of the vessel was not important. What was important was the content of the vessel. The school was 2% white; the principal was black.

The transit is through ActBlue, a donations portal for the DNC.

Via the commenters, I picked up a couple of items of interest.
Candace Owens has a long line of tweets about BLM’s funnel into the DNC coffers, and some earlier comments about George Floyd and white supremacy, plus some videos of black people pushing back against the leftist narrative.
What a fighter!

I can’t vouch for this Sowell tweet (there was no blue check), but the observation is valid even if apocryphal.

Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?

And it never hurts to hear from Orwell.

it can be ended easily by refusing to let goods enter or leave..
embargo of sorts..

food eventually will be scarce…
the people will eventually get hungry and want to leave
not only will it end it peacefully…
it will sort the people out from the fun idiots and the serious nasties
the blue meanies will hold out as long as they can
the weak will leave once its no more fun and it gets serious

nothing else required than patience…
the press is lucky that they didn’t start with them..
but this ultimately will not end in their favor as people want decent lives without terror, and they are not willing to starve like is starting in Venezuela who cant process the oil they have and so, cant grow crops any more.. (while blaming the US sanctions – though you have to be a special kind of stupid to blame an external force for an internal problem)

food will not last long..
and with it goes their will…

I’m not suggesting he should use it. I’m saying it’s constitutional and he could.

Right, antifa?

Seattle? Milwaukkk?

I have been constantly haranguing people here about Trump. I doubt they paid much attention to that. The Deep State is a lot stronger than people thought. Voting a guy like Trump into DC to “clean the swamp” or drain the swamp, isn’t going to do much by itself. Help him instead of argue about the usual bullsh stuff here? Naw, people got better things to do than that.

How about we provide you a motivation to do so in 2020?
