Article by Scott Morefield in "Townhall":
Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of Western civilization? Based on recent events, it would be hard to argue otherwise. As the mindless mob tears its way through what remains of a once-great culture, the twisted ideology it is imposing along the way - the belief (or at least pretend belief) of which is mandatory on pain of one’s livelihood and societal good-standing - is one that is the polar opposite of observable reality.
Racist police officers running rampant, just looking for black men to murder; a racist country full of racists looking to hate and keep people down simply for the color of their skin; a criminal justice system geared and just itching to unjustly prosecute and disproportionately punish black offenders simply because they are black; a nation of laws unfairly tilted towards white people; an entire system built by and based on “systemic structural racism” that doesn’t allow people of color to get ahead in society no matter what they do … NONE of these exist, not in any measurable, widespread, systemic, non-overcomeable way, and yet one counters them with truth at one’s own peril.
We are also to believe that the greatest civilization mankind has produced, one that has resulted over time in the greatest enjoyed freedoms in all of human history and almost every conceivable invention that created the modern world and improved life for billions is evil and rotten to its core. We must believe that since Western culture once practiced slavery, as did every other race and culture, we and only we must somehow “atone” for it, not by fighting a war resulting in hundreds of thousands of dead and correcting our laws to make equality under the law a reality, but by some sort of race-based transference of resources that has nothing to do with the actual, long-dead victims of slavery.
Somehow, almost overnight, the group known as Black Lives Matter and its ideological allies have become the most dominant political force in America. Somehow, a cause only the leftist third of the Democratic Party would have aligned itself with only two months ago has become the de facto cultural religion of a generation, adhered to by every Democrat and feared and virtually unopposed by every Republican who hasn’t overtly bent the knee already.
And even more remarkably, they’ve managed to do it all sparked by a worldview that’s a demonstrable lie and pushing a radical leftist agenda that would, were it to succeed, destroy the very foundations of Western civilization. A key stated goal of Black Lives Matter is to “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement.” Far from encouraging fatherhood, a necessary component of a stable society for thousands of years and a key missing ingredient in so many African-American communities, this radical group seeks to, uh, “collectively care for one another,” because communism has always worked so well.
“I just want black liberation and black sovereignty by any means necessary,” Newsome said, as if blacks are literally enslaved right now. But they’re not, not even close. In fact, black people in America are more prosperous than anywhere else in the world. What these Marxists don’t care to understand, however, is that equality under the law and equality of opportunity won’t always equal equality of result. But trying to achieve that equality of result by legalized theft and brute force instead of hard work will always lead to blowback, strife, and more racism in the end. How do we know this? Because it’s been tried, and it has failed, and millions upon millions have died.
Make no mistake, the roots of the Black Lives Matter movement is Marxist to the core. Far from obtaining real justice for black people or anyone else, its ultimate aim is to steal, kill, and destroy, and to burn Western civilization to the ground. If you want to know what sort of society they’d replace it with, you only need to look to the histories of Bolshevik Russia or Maoist China. Bending the knee to these jackals may provide some temporary relief, but it’s a decision you may ultimately pay for with your life.
