New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio unilaterally decided to
paint his city’s streets with huge yellow letters spelling out “Black Lives
Matter.” This unprecedented move prompted a reporter at a recent press briefing
to ask the mayor the following questions: “I’d like to know whether you
submitted a Department of Transportation application before you painted your
‘Black Lives Matter’ street murals across the city? What’s your plan for other
groups that now want to see their own messages on city streets?” These are
obvious and particularly valid questions, but ones which de Blasio wasn’t keen
to field. He replied: “The fact is that what I decided to do with the Black
lives Matter murals…it’s an important thing for this city to declare officially.
That is something that transcends
all normal realities because we are in a moment of history where this had
to be said and done.”
In other
words, “How dare you question me! I am afraid of them!”
“We are
in a moment of history where this had to be said and done?” Really? Now? When black
employment had been at its highest levels in history? After a two-term black
president had just left office?
BLM’s
leaders have publicly stated they want to abolish the nuclear family and
replace capitalism with Marxism-Socialism. They sure as hell don’t speak for
all black people, no matter what Joe Biden might think. Why is this group’s
cause being elevated over everyone else’s? Perhaps because of the threat of
violence and the fact that it is essentially holding America’s big cities
hostage?
Here are
some messages I’d like to see painted onto our cities’ highways and
byways: “Abortion Is Murder.” “Reverse Racism Is Still Racism.” “Men And Women
Are Different…Hence The Different Terminology.” “The Climate Has Always Been
Changing.” “Socialism Sucks.” “’The Squad’ Should Be Fired.” And, “Make Orwell
Fiction Again,” among others.
One thing
is clear: in 2020, all normal realities have been “transcended.”
