“What the hell is wrong with these people?” I heard someone ask as a clip of Jasmine Crockett played on the television at the restaurant bar the other day. What was Crockett talking about? Her sympathy for the murderer named Karmelo Anthony because he’s black. Yes, that’s why she cares, or at least pretends to care, about the fate of the man who’ll spend at least the next 17.5 years of his life in prison in Texas. How could anyone, real or not, go on camera and express sympathy for a murderer, at the expense of the murder victim and his family, no less? There’s really only one possibility: the cancerous cultural rot Democrats have forced and enforced on the black community.

We have a very weird relationship with race in this country, one where white people have been bullied into only talking about other races in apologetic tones, like we did something to everyone else. We didn’t.

The truth is, most minorities who have been convinced by politicians, pundits, and preachers that they are victims are, in fact, victims, only they’re victims of the people who convinced them.

Racism, to any extent that matters in America, exists on the left – both inspired and weaponized by politicians hoping the black community won’t realize they’re in the midst of the longest con ever perpetrated: the Democrat establishment against black people.

For more than three-quarters of a century, we’ve had Democrats, both black and white, controlling the cities where most black people live. I don’t think there’s a majority-black city in the country that has........
