Maggie's Farm

The line dividing the New Right and the Buckley Conservative is between those who accept the reality of the human condition and those who don’t.

I read that article... ZMan is full of carp. If it is magical thinking of the left to blame Baltimore's woes on racism so it is to presume blacks are genetically incapable of acting within the law.

I live near Baltimore, I know many black people who live in Baltimore. None of them rioted, despite being black; most of the city was as quiet as a church on Monday. It's a city of roughly 650,000, of whom around 400,000 are black. We should have seen crowds of more than several hundred rioting, if it's a genetic thing. At the same time, did any of you see the coverage of churches with thousands of congregants out, marching for peace and defending the cops? There wasn't a lot of coverage but massive groups of black Christians were out in the streets protesting for peace and order. Gotta wonder how a bunch of genetically disorderly people were able to pull that off. Assuming genetic inability of blacks to be orderly, good moral people, despite the facts of what we actually saw in Baltimore, comes across as... an inability to accept the reality of the human condition to ignore that fact.

The left spews a narrative of angry rioting black people in order to advance leftist revolutionary goals, when in reality it's largely about a small chunk of street thugs, some professional riot organizers and a bunch of well meaning dupes who are taken advantage of by the crooks and agitators. Their purpose is to draw more and more people into rioting, to use the threat of violence as a tool for blackmail and building political power, to create a false image of this overwhelming wave of racial violence supported by all blacks. The NuRight buys into the (false) angry rioting black people narrative for it's own purposes, but buys in just as fully as the leftists. They stink.
