Political Awareness Matters: How Black Lives Matter Are Screwing Themselves -- And the Rest of Us

[Joe Chi Minh]

62. The effects of the historic civil rights campaign in the sixties seems to have

been petering out, with innocent AA' s being shot daily by the very police who are suppose to be upholding law and order.

Fortunately for AA's - though that sound never so patronizing - they are now being accompanied in their marginalization and persecution by the poorer folk among the white population. The persecution, in the US mysteriously dubbed, 'white privilege', is becoming increasingly generalized - hence the fear felt by the authorities and the militarization of the police. See it as a great opportunity, not an irrelevance.

I can't believe that AA's, who in my opinion are potentially more intelligent than any other race, could shoot themselves in the foot so obviously, as if the wicked have eve been or ever will be vulnerable to their minority and marginalized victims' outraged fury, alone. As Churchill once put it, 'There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them!'

Poor old Ike had a job on his hands in that regard, as well. Monty was a narcissistic monster, but for the sake of Allied success, he continued to tolerate him and prefer him, when the situation called for it. War, as Barbara Tuchman put it, being 'the unfolding of miscalculations', Monty was, on occasions, the least worst choice. That is the perspective that disaffected Dems should take, whatever their colour. A major factor in the Russians beating the Nazis was precisely their numbers. Noise and emotion, alone, won't cut it.
