What Does A Real Hate Crime Look Like. And Why Does No One Care.



Link To The Full Video of The Hate Crime


So.....what is it about this video?  That the majority of Americans, find so disturbing?  What is it that is so troubling, that they refuse to even talk about it.  I mean, that must be the case right?  People are not talking about this incident like they have been talking about the Ahmaud Arbery case. 

And I wonder why that is.  There must be a reason.  Right?

Is it because the victim of this crime?  Did not die?  Or is it that he wasn't really hurt that bad?  Or is it that he's just a 75 year old man?  Who apparently popped off to and ran his mouth at his 'caregiver?'
Or is it that no real crime occurred.  The old man got his ass beaten?  And deservedly so. Right?

I mean?  I am open to suggestions on this, because it seems truly unfathomable to me?  I really think and believe, that it is more than unfathomable. It is more than unfathomable, that more Americans would not be asking questions about this incident.

What is going on here?  Are there underlying issues that we are not being talked about in this incident?  Or are their underlying issues?  That are as plain as the nose on your face.  But they are issues that no one wants to talk about.

Is this a third rail issue? An issue that no one wants to touch?  For fear of becoming part of the story. Kinda like the man who filmed the Ahmaud Arbery shooting in Brunswick Georgia?  He has now been charged with "Murder" as an accomplice in some seemingly seedy conspiracy to "Hunt Arbery down and Murder him." 

And for what?  Because he shot the video of the incident and turned it over to police the same day? 

But I digress.

Let's stay focused on this incident. 

I am just baffled at the continued lack of interest by Americans over this incident. I mean, after the airing of the original video and news reports of this incident.  And after the reactive gasps by those initially viewing the video?  America, suddenly becomes a collective audience of crickets. Nationwide.  There is no media shitstir of fueling outrage and basal emotions across the nation.  There are no civil rights leaders being interviewed on TV, demanding justice department investigations.

There are no marches or protests. There aren't any cries of "No Justice! No Peace!" 

And the really baffling part to me? 

There hasn't been the first interjection of race into this crime.

And absent that?  How could this be classified as a hate crime?  Well apparently?  Neither of these concerns are of interest to the media at large, or the Detroit police, or those mindless millions, who blindly buy into and accept everything that spews from the mouths of those who hold the golden microphones and the platinum plated cameras of the national media.

But this was a hate crime.  This is a hate crime! 

And anyone with eyes can see that. 

A twenty year old black man? On video, pummeling a seventy five year old incapacitated white man? A video that has now been revealed?  To have been filmed with his own phone.

If this is not a hate crime? What other explanation, could there possibly be? 

Wait a minute....give me a minute... 

I am betting?  That in the final analysis?

The media will report that the old man soiled himself?  Or that he failed to make it to the restroom unassisted. Or that he said something smart to the black man, or failed to obey his commands.  And any of that could possibly trigger the black man's response. If not justify it.

What'cha wanna bet?

Or could it be something far more easily explained?  Something immediately understandable? 

Something that will immediately convey the understandable and undeniable justification of the actions of the young black man? 

What could that possibly be? 

Wait a minute!  Eureka! I believe I've got it!

The old white man?  Must have called the black man the "N" word!

Yep, that has to be it! 

And we all know, that once that happens? Once that allegation surfaces?  All allegations against anyone of color?  Immediately evaporate into the mist. Regardless of their crime/s.

So there you have it. The reasons why, no one gives a damn about this crime. Because to care?  Means that you must place yourself in jeopardy of racial hatred and racial scrutiny of your own interests.

You place yourself in line to receive the Scarlett Letter of "RACIST."

Why? Because you dared to ask. 

And if I am wrong?  Please prove me wrong.

Speak up and call this what it really is. 

Don't be afraid to defend right versus wrong.  Don't be afraid to point out a hate crime? No, it makes no difference, when the shoe is on the other foot. Except to the media.  And it will remain that way, until more Americans stand up and call out the hypocrisy.

Do that? Or simply shut the hell up, like everyone else.

Like the millions of other minions. 

Because after all?  That is the safe play. Right?
