Murderous Grievance Grabbers...Versus The Grateful Wounded

 

Karmelo Anthony, who is black, murdered Austin Metcalf, who is white, by stabbing him in the heart. Yet many in the black community are acting like they are shocked and saddened that Karmelo is going to be imprisoned for his crime. Some are saying things like, “just another black man sent to prison.” One said, “I don’t know what to tell my five boys.” WTH?! How about, “don’t murder anyone and you’ll probably be fine.” Are any people more pathetic and misguided than the grievance grabbers?

Sadly, there are a great many who revel in their alleged victimization, who wear it proudly, caress it, luxuriate in it. It is priceless and precious to them, for it is, oddly, the one thing that they believe gives them self-worth. Their one and only true religion.

But when your religion is bitterness and entitlement-- and idolatry of one’s self, it is, of course, no religion at all. It is, in fact, the most pathetic and destructive of delusions. For those who succumb to this derangement... and everybody else.

And it virtually guarantees that things will only get worse for those who choose to be afflicted. Even if a person’s pity party is somewhat justified, the only way to improve one’s situation and achieve peace of mind is to deal with one’s reality and try to make it better. There are many examples of those who do just that. And not just of minorities who worked hard to improve their lives. There are countless members of the military who have had harrowing experiences-- and have even lost friends and limbs—who are grateful for what they have, and successful in life. Think of those who stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-Day and lived to tell the story. Or, in more recent times, of those like Johnny Joey Jones.

Yet we also have a staggering number of those like far-left, far-insane Jasmine Crockett, who recently went on another racist anti-white rant in which she continued to attack the late Charlie Kirk and asserted that Dr. Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, doesn’t understand King’s his teachings…and is probably just a clueless far-right poser.

Jasmine Crockett and the Karmelo Anthony family would do well to think of the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who were maimed or killed fighting, in large part, so that slavery could be eradicated from this fruited plane. I am not aware of any of their descendants demanding reparations, though no group could be more deserving.

But, of course, they won’t consider that, because that would require fairness, honesty, gratitude, decency, and simple human dignity, all of which are anathema to them.
