What? You honestly think cops hunt boys such as Tamir Rice for sport and then shrug it off and go make lunch? Rice pointed a BB gun at the officers that looked exactly like a real gun. There was no orange tip on it. They tried to get him to put it down but he refused so they shot him, which is what they”€™re trained to do. This happens all the time and it has nothing to do with racism. It has to do with not getting shot. To assume these police nonchalantly peg off little boys for sport requires a Dr. Seuss level of suspension of disbelief.

This didn”€™t stop the audience from giving the speech a standing ovation. The praise rang out for days, with people writing poems about Williams and calling him the new Jesse Jackson. They pushed for Jesse Williams Appreciation Day, and Justin Timberlake agreed until he was shut down for being white. Everyone clapped because they”€™d heard that story before and for some reason they think it has a nice ring to it. Williams was effective because being a teacher in this day and age is being a storyteller who spins yarns about innocent victims (whoever is doing badly) and evil villains (whoever appears to be doing well). Women love stories like this because they are genetically predisposed to being nice and positive. As they take over academia and media we get more feel-good fiction and less ugly hard truths. Unfortunately, they have wandered so far into Narnia, it’s getting harder and harder to get back to the real world, and that’s dangerous. To train rich Indians to chastise white children is to sabotage our culture. To pretend mass shootings committed by Muslims or illegal aliens or black criminals is somehow a legal gun owner’s fault is to leave us vulnerable to more. And to pretend that society in general is at war with blacks is to incite them to more violence. They may be dying to tell us a story, but we don”€™t want to die. Story time is over.
