Last week, a video of a violent racist attack on a group of Asian American students was widely circulated on social media. The perpetrators were four African American girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab.
It began with four
African American girl students hurling racist abuses, intimidating and
physically assaulting a group of Asian American high school students who were
sitting in close proximity. The Asian American victims helplessly attempted to
shield themselves from the violence.
In time, a senior Asian American girl
student attempted to intervene and bring a stop to the assault, leading to her
being the target of violence and abuse at the hands of the four African
American girl students.
The Asian American girl student was
struck on her head multiple times and was slammed against the train
doors. The assailant group kicked and punched her as she laid flat on the
ground of the train compartment. One of the assailants even took off her shoe
and used it to strike the victim multiple times.
A man eventually intervenes before the
video is halted.
The SEPTA
Police Chief said the four suspects, who range from 13 to 16 years of
age. He also said that they are working with other city and school leaders to
offer support for the victims. SEPTA pledged to provide police protection
for students in the future.
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s
Office then approved
charges of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, criminal
conspiracy, simple assault, and other related offenses against four African
American girl students.
One suspect has been charged with an
additional count of robbery for attempting to steal one of the victims’ air
pods.
The question remains what caused the
inconsolable rage in the minds of teenaged African American girls?
Perhaps it is the divisive climate
that has been created owing to the relentless race-baiting by Democrat
politicians, activists, and members of the mainstream news media?
Perhaps the frequent and dishonest claim
that there is systemic racism all around?
Perhaps the claim that Kyle
Rittenhouse is a white
nationalist led by then-candidate Joe Biden and the
proclamation with certitude that White Privilege and Nationalism was
omnipresent following the acquittal of Rittenhouse?
Perhaps White House reacting
to Rittenhouse’s acquittal with the implication that it was unfair?
Perhaps the claim that Kamala Harris’s
low approval ratings are solely owing to sexism
and racism?
Perhaps the fact that former President
Obama and former first lady Michelle
Obama only claim victimhood instead of being cheerleaders for the
black community?
Perhaps the fact that African
American multi-billionaire Oprah
cannot stop talking about race while interviewing mixed-race multi-millionaire
Meghan Markle?
Perhaps the amplification of fake
claims of a black gay actor that he suffered a racist attack from
Trump supporters in Chicago?
Perhaps the frequent
amplification of the irresponsible and reckless actions of a few police
officers that lead to the deaths of African Americans and the spin that all
persons of color are targets of the police?
While race relations have emphatically improved, the proof is a person of color was elected to the highest office of the nation on two occasions.
However, it will take a great deal of time and collective effort to achieve MLK's dream of a society that sees people for the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
MLK's dream can only be achieved by permanently alerting the mindset of seeing everything through the prism of race. Overstated claims and frequent spin about racism only make matters worst
Sadly, many individuals masquerading
as pundits have made race-baiting their business model. They make preposterous
claims and write articles about the worsening of race relations to enrich
themselves.
For some 'experts', race relations is
their domain expertise, if they concede that race relations are improved, they
run the risk of becoming obsolete.
The same is true for a group such as
BLM, who will never ever concede that there is even the slightest of
improvement in the lives of African Americans because their very existence is
based on promoting victimhood.
Any incident of when an African
American is persecuted is an occasion for raising money. The money is used to
further perpetuate myths about victimhood which leaders to more donations. The
cycle of hate continues.
The people making the outrageous and overstated claims are like actors, they have a prepared script given to them by activists, perhaps they use their own imagination.
They know their claims are
false but they say it anyway. They spit venom on TV and elsewhere and then
return in the comfort of the luxury homes in gated communities with armed
bodyguards.
But the effects of the poison spread in the
minds of innocent and impressionable young African-Americans can never be
undone.
For the performers on TV, this may
just be the clever usage of epithets and some amateur but for the audience, it
could be the trigger that causes a permanent impression.
Nothing that follows can ever change
those first impressions. They grow up with the feeling of victimhood that
causes anger to simmer from within. One day it explodes rather unexpectedly
following a seemingly innocuous trigger such as the mere presence of persons of
another race.
The racist violence that was seen on
the SEPTA train is an instance of that? But it could have been worse, what if
any one of them was armed?
Sadly, the attack on the SEPTA train will be followed by many other racist attacks. The rage that has been created simply cannot melt into thin air.
The race hustlers hence have blood on
their hands.
Alas, few will dare to call them out.
