Challenging the Racist Cops Myth

NFL players kneeling in protest during the national anthem was a movement steadily gaining momentum. It suddenly exploded last weekend after Donald Trump called out the protesting players for disrespecting the American flag. Now the Leftmedia elite are blaming Trump for causing “division.” But the truth is Trump hit upon an issue that has become deeply offensive to many Americans: Multi-millionaires are protesting supposed injustice and racism in America that is simply not backed up by the facts. Those protesting are demanding that Americans concede to accepting a reality that amounts to a lie. And what is that lie? That police across the nation are systemically racist against blacks. It’s the Democrat war on cops.

Any time an issue like racism is raised, it evokes high degrees of emotion and passion, because it hits at two fundamental truths. First, an individual has absolutely no control over their ethnicity; quite literally they are “born that way.” Second, people naturally gravitate toward and relate to those with whom they share the most in common. And neither of these truths are inherently wrong or evil. When these realities are raised as ultimate delimiters and primary identifiers between people, that’s when the ugly problem of racism emerges. In other words, friction happens when people are taught to attribute everything about themselves and others primarily to the lowest common denominator of race. For example, the reason you got in trouble was because you’re black, or the reason you got into a good school is because you are Asian, etc.

It is precisely this flawed race-based mindset that has been behind the current NFL anthem protests..

    Makes sense.
    If you don't do the crime . . . then you won't do the crime.

    It might be just a touch duplicitous but your point is well taken.
    Don't do the crime so you won't be a criminal.

    But I will add this: Don't mess with the Police because they will murder you in a New York Minute.

  4. 5:42 The Police don't murder people. You would shoot too if someone pointed a gun at you. Give it a break. The Police Officer wants to go home from work at the end of each shift alive and with no bullet holes in him. Also if the people dead from a Police shooting were not committing crimes they would not be in confrontations with the police in the first place. They should try to just obey the law. Problem solved.
