There is a particular school of thought that places virtue on remaining silent regarding topics associated with the “culture war.” For reference, culture war, as defined by Wikipedia, is a cultural conflict between social groups and the struggle for dominance of their values, beliefs, and practices.
Unless a person exists without values, beliefs, or practices, the only way to remain uninfluenced by the culture of others is to exist without contact with culture. While a Republic form of government might provide some protections, little security is enjoyed in a state where activist judges achieve cinematic glory and helpful politicians are always eager to satisfy a public whim with future public credit.
Let’s analyze a recent news item, as well as its possible societal implication and its place in a larger series of similar memes of information.
Contrary to the popular notion that America is sinking into a pit of white supremacy, a widely circulated study from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism (CSHE) showed that the United States dropped 7 percent in hate crimes between 2019 and 2020. What does a center do when the demand for racism, which justifies their taxpayer-funded sustainment and growth, exceeds the existing supply? You dig into the numbers and try to find some trend your boss can show around.
As a challenge to the academics out there, please review the study and tell me if the following interpretations logically follow the presented data.
CNN: White supremacy and hate are haunting Asian Americans
University of Washington: How white supremacy, racist myths fuel anti-Asian violence
USA Today: Stop Asian hate, Stop Black hate, stop all hate: Many Americans call for unity against racism
Workers: Calling out white supremacy: Labor responds to Atlanta massacre
While much of the media has taken CSHE’s study as evidence for white supremacy, the FBI crime figures bring upon disparate interpretations.
Based on 2019 FBI statistics — the most recently available data — when black and white perpetrators of hate crimes were computed as a percentage of men 18 to 44 years old in their populations, evidence for white supremacy wasn’t exactly found. The black rate was 40 percent, 76 percent, and 303 percent higher than the white rate for hate crimes against the Asian/Pacific Island, Latino, and LGBTQ communities respectively. It should also be noted that the FBI data includes white Hispanics into their white classification, further mitigating claims of white supremacy.
Department of Justice statistics show similar findings. While victims of violence tend to be targeted by perpetrators within their ethnicities far more than any other, Asian victims are targeted more by other races at the following rates: 27.5 percent black, 24.1 percent white, 21.4 percent Hispanic (compared to 24.1 percent Asian).
Conclusion
When we recall the 7 percent drop in hate crimes between 2019 and 2020, a horrifying truth becomes apparent: Progress and KPI improvement have no connection to the continuation of racial identity politics. If a marathon runner is hit with a stick for each completed mile, they might have good reason to believe their attacker doesn’t want them to complete the race.
As in life, some critics wish you success and others wish failure upon you. When thinking back, which of the critics in your life who used deception had your best interests at heart?
Political opinion is an offshoot of culture. If you can eliminate the voice of the culture that continually advocates for individual rights, you eliminate that group’s ability to influence opinion or fairly represent itself. Those who stay silent aren’t refusing to take part in the “culture war” – they’ve already surrendered.
What else is new? The Left lies about everything.
There is no white supremacy problem in the US. That was made up by c,wray of the FBI, the real problem was BLM and Antifa, for months they caused anarchy, burning and looting,and murder, The FBI said and did nothing but make up BS stories, about white people causing the problems, the FBI has been ruined by bias,corrupt, individuals like comey,mcCabe, mueller,stryokwray, that have made the FBI untrust worthy, until better leadership is put in place, they can’t be trusted.
Remember the movie Independence Day with actor Will Smith, when he brought down that alien fighter craft? Will asked the alien what they wanted of the human race and the alien said “Die!” That’s what the left wants white men to do. There’s no living in a truce of any sort. Just like with President Trump they didn’t just want him out of office, they want him imprisoned and executed. They want the same for all white men. And eventually even white male Male Democrats will be their focus. They want to transform America into another middle east and drain it of all its resources. Its called genocide.
I agree the left wants to get rid of all the white people in america and take everything they have worked so hard for . Biden and Harris are the worst thing to happen to this country, I hope the idiots who support them wake up before it’s too late.
Look at he facts: Most attach’s against Asians where by blacks.
The new woke ideology constantly searches for anything to confirm their beliefs. Of they can’t find it they will create it. Every single leftist concept is nothing more than an illusion. Division is the bread and butter of the Democrat Party. Without exception every single issue is turned upside down. It’s as if everything we see and know to be true is a right wing conspiracy. If it can’t be blamed on Trump then any and all Caucasians will do. It’s nothing more than a new form of divide and conquer. Unfortunately it’s working because so many people are just simply lazy. No sense in looking into the facts when one can turn on the television and have some leftist crony give you your opinion. There is nothing new under the sun and at the end of the day reality raises its ugly head. You can pretend up is down black is white right is wrong for only so long. When living in a fantasy fails to provide results inevitably we must face the fact that up is up. It’s all been tried before. The very reasons things are the way they are is because it works. Thousands of years of human behavior has culminated in the society we see today. I watched Biden flounder today with nothing more than a politician’s answers. Patting himself on the back for putting streetlights in Honduras is his answer for the immigration debacle. No substance whatsoever just more blaming Trump. He even said after blaming Trump for his lack of vision “God I Miss Him”. Then wryly snickers in self satisfaction. Arrogant beyond belief with absolutely no solution to any issues we are facing. Good luck in 2022.
