Greetings, Dear Reader,

It’s a sad day. Regardless of how we feel, we should pray for the six-year-old who lost his mommy yesterday.

What killed her? Literally an ICE agent killed her. That’s not what really killed her though. Not in my view.

WHAT KILLED RENEE GOOD?

Some weeks back I was invited on a radio show to discuss a completely different shooting from the one that occurred yesterday in Minnesota. This one involved a black man, accusations of racism, and a white man who is now in jail, wrongly in my estimation.

If you want to read more about that, here’s a link to the column I wrote on it, titled “Shut Up And Let This Black Dude Pummel You.”

During the radio hit, one of the last comments I made was that we’d never know the true death toll of the Black Lives Matter movement. We know how many people (mostly black) died in the riots. Daily Caller (and others) did a good job tracking that at the time.

More difficult to track, however, is the effect the corresponding propaganda campaign had on black people. Not just from BLM, but also from the media. We know police forces across the nation lost morale and withdrew from economically marginal, colored communities. That’s the Ferguson Effect. We know that resulted in a spike of violent crime, murder, rape and assault.

What we don’t know, however, is how many basic social interactions went sideways because people in those communities were taken with the sudden delusion of the moment. 

The delusion at the time was nuanced and had many elements, but if I could boil it down to the bleating of Orwell’s sheep, it would be “Black People Right, Police Wrong, Black People Right, Police Wrong,” over and over and over into oblivion. The delusion........
