Down the Memory Hole

Pop Quiz: When is a Racial Hate Crime not a Racial Hate Crime? Answer: When it doesn’t fit the Left’s narrative:

When white teenager Kyle Rittenhouse shot three white men who were violently assaulting him, it somehow got treated by the press and politicians as a racial hate crime. President Joe Biden (falsely) called Rittenhouse a white supremacist, and the discussion of his case was so focused on racial issues that many Americans mistakenly thought that the three men Rittenhouse shot were black.

But when a black man, Darrell Brooks, with a long history of posting hateful anti-white rhetoric on social media drove a car into a mostly white Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring dozens, the press was eager to wish the story away. (The New York Times buried it on page A22.) Even when a Black Lives Matter activist connected it to the Rittenhouse verdict, observing “it sounds like the revolution has started,” the media generally downplayed it.

Prominent media outlets have already lost interest in Waukesha:

Wednesday’s edition of the Washington Post included a brief mention of the mass-death event in the bottom left-hand corner of the front page. The New York Times similarly downplayed the significance of the “6th Death in Wisconsin Crash.”

CNN, meanwhile, was not featuring a single story about the Waukesha tragedy on its homepage as of Wednesday afternoon. The news network, however, did prominently feature an “analysis” piece headlined “Biden spins a message of hope as an anxious nation readies for Thanksgiving,” as well as a report that former president Donald Trump “now has a ninth-degree black belt in taekwondo.”

    As Ilhan Omar would say, some people did something. What they did is of no importance, just who did it, or didn’t according to prejudice.
    Even so it can be massaged into who did it, like a white supremacists who was attacked by and shot white convicted felons.
    As Mark Levin said, the common theme is the involvement of felons. But there’s Democrat and Republican felons, culpability irrelevant.
