I have now written two essays in which the blacks introduced new social media trends to protest the Karmelo Anthony verdict. The first was where they would randomly attack and violently assault unwitting white people and accuse them of being involved with the “jury” or “jury selection.” The second involved them using AI to photoshop themselves into a picture of Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look like they were urinating all over it. Now, for the third time in two weeks, they’ve got a new one, and this one is called the “Austin Bop”—it features them dancing to some unintelligible “rap” soundbite, and stabbing the air with kitchen knives, reenacting the stabbing of Austin Metcalf. Here are the lyrics, at least the ones I can make out:

Austin bop, knife had blood on the tip when he dropped
How the f–k he gon’ [?] niggas going out bad free my [Karme]lo out the box [?]
And, here they are in action:

So we aren’t to judge anyone by the color of their skin—an obviously easy demand to meet—but are we allowed to judge them by the content of their character? Because I happen to despise “character” like this.

I am also learning to never underestimate the sores of racial discontent, a reference to Saul Alinsky’s instruction to “rub raw the sores of discontent” of what he the “Have-Nots.” I hate to have to preempt racial discussions by acknowledging that I’m speaking in generalities and not on a case-by-case basis because that much should go without saying—but I’m saying it anyway. Yes I can recognize that blacks as a whole have been whipped into an anti-white fit of envy and hate, and that sentiment is widespread in the population, but I can honestly say that reality doesn’t become the de facto assumption of every new black person I meet. As it shouldn’t. But it is still a massive problem. How am I supposed to live around people that behave like this, and lust for the murder of whites, simply because of our skin color? The Austin Bop clip is representative of black culture and attitudes. Blacks who don’t behave this way, or are willing to call it out for what it is, are too few indeed.
