It’s all about race these days, and we’re not talking NASCAR, Indycar, or any other form of motorized competition.
Everything, it seems, must be viewed through a racial lens, as in skin color.
Sexual orientation is coming on strong in virtue signalling and forced perspective, but race still is the prime consideration.
Watch some TV shows, or the omnipresent commercials that split those shows into tiny segments. The ads must have over-representation of blacks, Hispanics and even Asians compared to their numbers in the general population.
An acceptable substitute, on occasion, is an overabundance of women, or obviously gay folk – as in two guys holding hands or two women caressing each other.
A spinoff is the proliferation of the mixed race couple in ads, an outsized trend apparent even to Clueless Joe Biden judging by his June 2021 speech in which he said, “eight to five — two to three out of five (commercials) have mixed-race couples in them. That’s not by accident.”
Biden thought this was a good thing, indicating improvement in racial relations. Come on, man. These are actors, not real-life couples.
The Clueless One is right in one respect, it isn’t by accident. It’s advertisers pandering to those who would make racial representation the litmus test of whether an ad, or product, is acceptable or not.
Perhaps you have heard that Philadelphia will face Kansas City in the Super Bowl, Kansas City having gotten there with a huge helping hand from the zebras.
A prominent theme you will hear between now and the game is that this is the first Super Bowl with two black starting quarterbacks.
Like Barack Obama, KC quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a black father and a white mother, but for purposes of racial demagoguery, he’s black.
When a mass shooting occurred in California recently, targeting Asians, Lamestream media was quick to run with the hate crime angle, figuring it was the stereotypical angry white male.
But no, the alleged shooter was either Vietnamese or Chinese. Accounts vary. All agree, he was Asian.
And still newspapers in California, and likely elsewhere, continue to try to paint this as a racially motivated attack on Asians.
It’s no different regarding Memphis, where an arrest turned into a beatdown of the suspect by police and that suspect’s eventual death. Murder charges have been filed against police officers.
The suspect was black. So, too, were the five police officers who were charged.
Despite this, a Washington Post story decrying racism basically said “so what?” that the cops were black.
At least one of those crazed pundits from a leftist cable news outlet maintains those black police officers were motivated by racism.
This is the narrative, that the nation is a boiling pot of racism and likely always will be. Don’t let any facts to the contrary change that narrative.
No fact-checking here. And it emboldens those who would continue to inundate us with claims of racism, even when such claims are patently ridiculous.
Yes, there is racism in this country. But not to the degree it is portrayed.
More to the point, the situation never can improve as long as race is elevated to the prime consideration in evaluating and coloring the perception of each and every one of life’s occurrences.
