Leftism, Not Racism, Destroys Black Upward Mobility – American Greatness

The rioting and looting across the United States have been widely though not universally condemned. The peaceful protests, on the other hand, have been universally praised. But is this appropriate? Wouldn t a broader and more balanced discussion be more constructive than praise without reservation?

Obviously, people have the right to peacefully protest injustice, and obviously incidents of murderous police brutality are more than sufficient justification for protests. But that s as far as it goes. The scope of these protests is disproportionate to the offense, not because the offense wasn t hideously wrong, but because there are far more dangerous challenges facing black Americans. The biggest challenge of all: leftists who indoctrinate blacks to think they are always first and foremost victims of racism.

Debunking this narrative of racism can start with the allegation that a disproportionate number of blacks are victims of police brutality, which in itself (and regardless of race) is extremely rare.
