Modern Religion (unemployment, drug, racism, crime)

[Crosstimbers Okie]

David Cole over at Taki Theodoracopulos' magazine, Taki's Magazine wrote a wonderful article on religion which really helped me to put things into perspective.

Here are two paragraphs that I found particularly enlightening"

Vodou may never have caught on as a widespread faith here in the U.S., but a new kind of superstitious hokum has taken a viselike hold on the minds of leftists, black and white. I’ll provide a recent example: Over the past three months in San Francisco (and throughout the entire Bay Area), roving gangs of teens have been robbing and terrorizing passengers on the BART subway trains. Last week, the BART board of directors announced that it is refusing to turn over surveillance video of the attacks because, as the thugs involved are black, releasing the videos would create “racism,” which would lead to terrible consequences for the black community.

“A new kind of superstitious hokum has taken a viselike hold on the minds of leftists.”
Now, to anyone with a decently functioning brain, that heaping plate of nonsense is impossible to digest. If the general public has a fear of black crime, it’s because of black crime, not footage of black crime. I mean, that’s obvious, right? How ****ing elementary can something be? Because of the board’s refusal to release the surveillance videos, the marauding hoodlums will most likely not be caught (or they will not be caught as quickly as they would have been if people were given the opportunity to, you know, identify them from the footage). They’ll commit more crimes, thus leading to more people having “negative experiences” with black BART riders, thus leading to more suspicion directed at all young black men on the trains. By helping the criminals avoid capture, BART will only make things worse for law-abiding blacks who ride the subway. So why is BART acting in such an illogical and self-defeating manner? To answer that question, one has to view “racism” through the eyes of a leftist. Leftists see racism as an evil spirit—an otherworldly entity, conjured by whites and made manifest on an earthly plane, a “duppy” that, once brought into existence, flies around the world inflicting harm on black people, like a curse. Should the BART footage be released, it would summon demons, “racisms” that, once manifested, would sow destruction in the black community, causing crime sprees, absentee fatherhood, unemployment, drug use, and school truancy.

The "Peoples Republik of Kalifornia" is one of a kind, thank goodness.

I find it hard to believe that such crime footage isnt being released.
