Has America Had Enough of the Race-Baiters?
Share this @internewscast.com

There it was again—Monday arrived, and with it, more divisive conversations. Joy Reid was on another podcast stirring up racial controversies. As an individual and a commentator, Reid may not hold significant influence anymore, particularly after her removal from MSNBC. Yet, sadly, her brand of extremism still resonates with some audiences. These days, she channels her frustrations into guest appearances on podcasts where hosts like Wajahat Ali receive her outlandish statements with nods of agreement. But who exactly is Wajahat Ali?

Ali contributes to outlets like the New York Times, often producing content that many consider lacking in substance. Besides applauding radical ideas, he shows support for the baseless assertions from guests on his Substack platform titled “The Left Hook: A political, cultural, and intellectual space for everyone else.”

Bold flex, Waj.  

On Ali’s show, Reid launched into her characteristic tirade, this time wearing an “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump) hat while making the claim that white people are incapable of invention.

Reid, along with her fellow agitator Jamele Hill, seems fixated on racial issues. Their insistence that current white Americans must atone for historical wrongs carried out long before they were born is becoming increasingly tiresome. Their lives seem consumed by this perpetual anger.

Slavery and those who engaged in it in America belong to the past, eradicated with the Civil War and legislative measures like the 13th and 14th Amendments. However, slavery’s existence didn’t end there; it continued in other regions. Notably, in Africa, official abolition wasn’t achieved until the 1970s. In contrast, America abolished slavery back in the 1860s, while in distant lands like those dominated by Barbary pirates, the practice of enslavement persisted, often victimizing Europeans.

A while back, I penned a story about my great-grandfather, a Civil War soldier who suffered injury and captivity. His experiences as a POW in Confederate prisons spanned nearly two years, marking a significant chapter in our family history.

Crippled for life by his wounds, he spent the last months of the war in the infamous Andersonville prison. I recently learned that a great-grandfather on my mom’s side was an Iowa cavalry volunteer. He was shot in the shoulder and died at the age of 57, due entirely to that wound that never healed. 

I have multiple ancestors who fought for the Union. Why mention any of that? Because each time a Joy Reid or Jamele Hill reaches a new level of race-baiting or mentions that slavery was a “white man’s crime,” I feel a duty bound to enrage my haters with mentions of my ancestors, who suffered greatly to end slavery. I’ve blocked all of my usual cadre of haters, so they are screaming at clouds. But I got more hate email and online hate for writing about a Civil War ancestor than anything I have written since. 

People like Reid and Hill will scream that I can’t take credit for what my ancestors did. They are right. I am proud of their heroism, but I didn’t suffer war wounds fighting to end slavery. They did. Not me. 

Equally, Reid (a first-generation American) has no agency in what happened 160 years ago. Not one living person does. No one who suffered the indignities of American slavery is still living. 

The death of George Floyd supercharged BLM. His death created myths about his life and death, and equally perpetuated myths about race relations. Race-grifters like authors Nikole Hannah-Jones, Robin DiAngelo and grifter extraordinaire Ibram X. Kendi did nothing to help “heal wounds.” They healed their bank accounts with quixotic nonsense and circular pablum. Hannah-Jones said: 

I find it hard to believe that any member of the white race can have the audacity and hypocrisy to call any other culture savage. The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager and thief of the modern world….The crimes they committed were unnecessarily cruel and can only be described as acts of the devil.

Do you feel the healing?

Matt Walsh’s “Am I a Racist?” shone a spotlight on DiAngelo’s game. Kendi’s grift continues with books like “Anti-Racist Baby.” The grift is elegant. A white person cannot “un-racist” themselves. That scarlet letter is there for life. There is no “cure,” but if you buy their heroin, it will ease the pain of being a racist. There is no cure, but if you buy their book for $29.99 it might help ease the pain. Cults are like that.  

Fewer now, fortunately. Being called a “racist” used to mean something. Now, grifters have turned it into a meaningless, empty insult. It’s Chicken Little crying that the sky is falling.    

On Monday, my colleague Katie Jerkovich wrote about another race grifter: Colin Kaepernick. ESPN has apparently determined that his mythology isn’t worth the effort or airtime. Katie’s article informed us that, perhaps, ESPN has lost its appetite for this particular race-baiting revisionist pseudo-historian. 

Four years ago, Kaepernick threw his white adoptive parents under the bus, casting his mom as a dimwitted dolt and his dad as a clueless clown. Almost every coach got the same treatment. Perhaps ESPN was warned not to offer that storyline again. Perhaps his parents have had enough.  

Perhaps everyone has had enough.
