British Labour MP Kim Johnson accuses the media of “using racist gang tropes to justify the killing of Chris Kaba."
For those of you who are mercifully unaware of this ridiculous story, in short: Kaba was a black guy who got shot by a policeman. The policeman was found innocent by a jury, and it was later revealed that Kaba was not simply the smiling, lovely dad he was painted as by the media and the usual suspects - rather, he was a prominent and violent gang member who had only days prior to his death shot someone in London in a crowded nightclub. He was also driving a car that was linked to a gang killing when he died, and used it to ram a police car.
Of course, these blatantly relevant and crucial facts have not stopped progressives and ‘liberals’ from shrieking ‘racism’ into the wind, as usual.
It’s so South Parkian. The guy was in a gang, and shot someone. That is not a ‘trope’, it’s literally just a statement of fact...
If anything is 'racist' here it's this lot constantly trying to turn violent criminals into symbols of 'the black community' - the majority of whom aren't in gangs!
The narrative nearly always falls apart. Remember ‘family man’ Jacob Blake who Kamala said she was so ‘proud’ of - turned out he was wielding a knife when the police intercepted him, and there was an arrest warrant out for him on charges of very serious sexual assault, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct. He was accused of ‘having entered his ex-girlfriend's home in Kenosha, without her permission, before sexually assaulting her, taking her car and debit card, and making two ATM withdrawals of $500 each’.
And remember ‘gentle giant’ Michael brown, who Obama and every celebrity going painted as a saint, who it was later revealed had strong-arm robbed a shop and lunged for the officer’s gun…
I could go on. It’s such cultish idiocy, the whole thing.
Anyway, I’ve written a long and masterful essay on this topic. It’s free to read on my page and is called ‘Statistics vs the Racial Grievance Grift.’
