The substance of your article was strong, yet within it you maintain that same white guilt and sense of inferiority to black folk. Why else consistently within the article capitalize Black people but use lower case when describing white folk. That usage itself minimizes and devalues white folk, and elevates Black folk. It would appear obvious to you if you consistently reference White folk, capitalizing White, and in the same sentence referenced black folk, using lower case. If I were to write that White folk should fear black folk, one would say that was racist. If I were to write that White folk should not fear black folk, one would still say that was racist, because I capitalized White and not black. Either use capitals to describe White and Black folk, or use lower case to describe white and black folk. The subtle use of grammatical conventions says alot.
In one of life’s rich ironies, “anti-racists” use the same “one drop“ standard as the racists used in the 19th and 20th centuries. So my niece is “black” even though 23andme says she is less than 50% black.
I was about to post a comment following an article and did not capitalize black. I suddenly realzed that I would be branded a racist by people who disagreed with my comment. But I had no intention of capitalizing white - Again, I would be branded a racist by people who disagreed with my comment. It's becoming tough to post comments.
If you worry about being called a racist, it will indeed be impossible to post comments. It's the most overused go-to by people who refuse to actually engage with ideas.
The Woke left started doing that after George Floyd died of a heart attack and fentanyl overdose which they blamed on white racism since the cop involved was white. The capital letter “B” in black is meant to show respect for blacks whereas the lower case “w” in white is meant to show that whites are undeserving of respect due to their racism.
The Woke white left endlessly wallows in white guilt which has rotted their brains and driven them insane. It has motivated them to wage war on meritocracy which is being replaced with equity aka race based equal outcomes. This is why they have no problem with things like CRT and the 1619 Project being promoted in our public schools. They want to instill white guilt in white children so that they’ll support things like reparations, open borders (borders are racist) and the dumbing down of standards for the sake of equity. They are quite insane. How can we possibly ever recover from the damage they’ve done which they are quite determined to continue doing?

“Chicago Teachers Union: Tests are racist.” (2 min)
Ferguson O'Beezey in the Oval Office kicked off this "campaign" in 2014, and then doubled down when the Dallas police officers were assassinated in cold blood, as far as my timeline goes. That's when I saw Obama for the first time.
The Kenyan Messiah began his contrived race war early in his first term with the Robert Louis Gates affair ("That policeman acted stupidly"), then came the Trayvon Martin hoax ("If I had a son..."), Eric Garner, ("I can't breathe...but I can speak"), and the grand finale in Ferguson ("Hands up, don't shoot").
Hollywood couldn't have written a better script, while America bought into every single lie.
A book was written about this “Helter Skelter”. The Beatles made a song about it. Charles Manson tried to start a national race war. It seems that this is what Obama was searching for.
Pattern recognition and threat awareness are not racism. I guess gun control didn't work in this case either. Unfortunately, I wish I hadn't read this story as now I feel less empathy for the girl after seeing her chalkboard.
She was twenty three. How nonconformist and genuinely thoughtful is the average twenty three year old? How eager is such a person to be seen as disruptive, especially if she has come to the country from half a world away?
If you try to recall your own mind when you were twenty three you're likely to be embarrassed.
I've always been a nonconformist from about the age of 5. But, yeah in my younger years I've made bad decisions and changed my mind on several things. Point taken.
When I was a kid (real America under Truman and Ike), ordinary people routinely used language that would land you in prison today. The trouble is that that language was true and today's woke-isms are totally false and delusional. One of the most thoroughly tested and proven ideas in social science is that widely-held stereotypes are generally true and valuable in assessing risks and benefits in life, in the absence of specific knowledge. "Live not by lies" - Alexandr Solzhenitsyn.
I hadn't known that. It makes sense, but at the same time one has to keep it in balance with the willingness, if forced, at least to try to keep an open mind. There are constant exceptions, the murder of the young woman in North Carolina being an inescapable one.
We're about the same age. I'm 73, so the first president I was aware of was Eisenhower. It's not just the virtual extinction of the capacity to use insulting language in public at the expense of clods which has diminished us. Another of the great lost things in American life is the threat of the punch out. Is it a coincidence that as the threat of the punch out has diminished to the point of nonexistence we have become an increasingly obnoxious "society?"
As far as punch-outs vs. insulting language, I think it was Robt W Heinlein who said that an armed society is a polite society. The problem today is that what's considered insulting has changed 100% -- from what insulted normal people to what insults perverts, aliens, and angry mutants.
Why should any white person feel guilt? We built America. We invented almost everything we use every day. Our forefathers worked hard in a difficult environment. We spread freedom and liberty even though it has not always been done in the best possible way. We are still struggling to create a more perfect union. If people don’t like America, then they should leave for another place. What do almost all people want? Peace, prosperity, and safety for their families and for their communities. We can’t do that if peace and safety are compromised to promote hatred and racism from leftists and Democrats. If anyone is a violent criminal they should be in prison or executed for extreme cases. No long series of ridiculous appeals to free guilty people. The color of your skin is irrelevant. Lock them up. It is usually the same few violent offenders that do the violence, over and over. Lock up the leftist prosecutors and judges that let them out of prison. Defund the cities and states with cashless bail. Pass laws to protect common Americans, not violent criminals and violent illegal aliens. Enforcement of the law is justice. Social justice is violence, not justice.
The Chicago Teachers Union statement is a textbook example of the (incomprehensibly named) fallacy known as Affirming the Consequent. It's like this.
"If an animal is a cat, it is a mammal. So if an animal is a mammal, it is a cat."
"If tests are racists, Blacks will do badly. So if Blacks do badly, tests are racist."
Lucky for us that Lefty indoctrinators, eager to succeed "by any means necessary", long started implying that Guilt by Association is not a fallacy. So now they are stuck with putting themselves on the losing side of issues like "transgender" athletes in women's sports, rather than be told "You stand with Trump!" Too bad for them that transgenderism is just an updated version of "The Emperors New Clothes".
Another reason that Demos cannot moderate, is that DEI is unfalsifiable: there is literally no evidence that would make them change their minds. Google AI admitted that to me just a few days ago. And Google AI is very much "all in" with DEI.
Black people, or black leaders, have demanded capitalization. Major media outlets do this. A few years ago you had to say African American. The correct terms keep changing. Maybe it is time to stop being cowed by these demands and just refuse to capitalize. I used to think of it as being polite, speaking of people the way they wanted. But I'm over it.
Yep. And good analysis by S.Stone here. The liberal media and Democrats have essentially killed, harmed, and raped many women in America by promoting the lie that black men are harmless victims of society and should be trusted no matter what.
While many America-raised girls are wise enuff NOT to have sat in front of a hoodie-thug, poor Iryna naively BOUGHT the lies fed to her, the Geo Floyd lies, the BLM lies.
Sadly, she's not the first victim and won't be the last.
(and BTW, what about the blacks sitting across the aisle from this creep -- did he ever consider murdering them......?)
Oh, if it's a matter of scale, then black-on-white crime only occurs on one planet in our whole solar system. Doesn't sound like a big problem to me. 🙄
There's a more complete video that's come out. I haven't seen it but have seen stills from it. You can see her holding her neck and I imagine she couldn't even scream because her lungs were filling up with blood as she bled to death. What's odd is that there's very little blood on her.
But what's most disturbing is that the blacks -- excuse me, Blacks -- across the aisle from her sat there, none of them did anything to help. Pressure on the wound might have saved her.
I still want to know if the pic of her in her residence with the blackboard that said "BLM" is authentic. You never know these daze.
I imagine its completely authentic, cuz THAT is just how effective media-leftist lies are to the innocent, unsuspecting people who trust the media. She wasnt raised around low-end criminal blacks in Ukraine -- none there. She wanted to love America and bought into all the fake TV shows/commercials that constantly tell us how 'great' black men are. Shame.
Im compelled to show the video to my granddaughters...I dont want them to be sucker to the lies: Cant breathe. Dont shoot,hands up, etc etc, on and on......
This is what drives me nuts. You can stack a pyramid of dead Black/black bodies every weekend in Chicago, but hey, let's fight about the spelling instead of the lives.
Great catch there. Shows that it’s not easy for Libs to detox from the woke mind virus! That being said, Sasha’s doing much better than 99% of the weak minded lefties, that are still captured by the never ending propaganda!
Same deal as how she refers to trannies by their imaginary gender because it's supposedly the nice and polite thing to do. But to do so is to affirm and submit to their delusions. Doing so isn't just degrading to the non-tranny playing along but it doesn't serve the tranny either.
Maybe, you should just listen to Sasha narrate her story. Very pleasing voice, and no capitalization/punctuation will come through to distract you from her story? The story is an important one and Sasha is informing us (from her quite liberal past, point of view) of how our culture has drifted (forced off course?) away from the American ideal of living our lives as we wish without fear of being harmed. We used to live within a social contract of mutual respect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with out fear of being harmed. Now, the miscreants are being coddled, attempted rehabilitated and allowed to run rampant. They actually refuse to rehab and continue on their path of destruction, to themselves as well as the public around them. When some non-feminized male steps up to contain a deranged soul, he is then brutalized by lawfare bowing down at the alter of racism - as is the case of Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely in NYC. But good men will still rise....
I totally agree. On most days I will read Sasha's articles online, however, for some strange reason today I found myself, early this morning, downstairs checking emails on my IPhone and The Girl on the Train article appeared. I decided to listen. The sound of Sasha's voice, while telling the story, was a powerful experience. At the end I was totally wrecked.
I believe the vicious murder of Iryna Zarutska may well be a turning point on the issue of violence in our country. The lame attempt by the mayor of Charlotte NC, along with her trusted group of enablers, to keep this story confined to a local level will be their tragic flaw. That the story is now on a national level will hopefully get the attention of good men and women of all political stripes.
If Democrats continue to enable members of their party, along with a broken MSM, who choose to resist President Trump in his valiant attempt to resolve the issue of crime and violence in some of our major cities; then they can all go straight to hell.
The time is now. It is not a time to resist but a time to join in support.
Yet, while I am concerned for the safety of my fellow Americans out there on the streets, I cannot help but think of my son, daughter and her husband along two granddaughters who live in Los Angeles. My wife and I moved from Burbank CA in 2020 to a small village in Western NY. We are happy and feel safe here. I wish our LA family would join us. Maybe one day.
Until then, as long as Karen Bass is LA mayor and Gavin Newsom is CA governor I will continue to be concerned for my families safety.
May the sweet soul of Iryna Zarutska forever rest in peace.
It is possible that this is being auto-corrected or changed by an editor. In most publications, eveything that's written has to be in accord with a style guide.
I wrote for a newspaper in a medium size city. The Black/white thing hadn't arrived yet, but I could not get a sentence through if I teamed a singular noun with "they," or "their." As in "A student has to have THEIR homework checked by the teacher," when correct English has long taughter that it's "HIS homework." So I would write my sentences to avoid that, such as, "All students must have their homework," etc."
Someone may have just "fixed" Sasha's small "b" for him.
Gut instinct is the last vestiges of our animal survival instincts. I have sometimes ignored it, always to my detriment. When something inside is telling you you are not safe, pay attention. You can call it your guardian angel, God or whatever, but if you are in touch with yourself, sometimes your body will tell you what your brain doesn't recognize as danger. We have told kids, especially girls, that they have to be friends with everyone. No. No adult is "friends with everyone" because some people are toxic and others are simply dangerous. Case in point, while in Vegas some drunk started bullying me to get up from my seat at a table. My first instinct was to get into an argument, but my husband pulled me aside and said, "we need to leave." He spotted the guy had a knife, and my husband said he didn't want to end up in jail or the hospital that night. Gut instincts for the win.
I think I wouldn't be alive if I hadn't listened to my angel who was shouting DANGER DANGER in my head. In this case it was 2 white guys. We have to pay attention!
I can't stand the criticism being aimed at the man at the Phillies/Marlins game who surrendered the baseball to the roided up Karen.
Yes, ideally, he would have been stoical, taciturn, polite, but uncompliant. We don't live in an ideal world. And as much as we hate to admit it, we are intimidated by a screaming bully whose body language is just begging to have the gentlest hand laid on her.
The man's instincts called it right for him. Meanwhile, we can hope that Karen spontaneously combusts.
And don't forget how you can always tell someone's race or poltical affiliation by what they don't say.
I just saw a post on Facebook about a 70 year old man beaten to death in Chicago. If the perp was white or wearing a red hat, the Headline would read "White man beats 70-year old man to death"
Actress Dianne Guerrero's parents were deported when she was 14. I have never found the exact date, but you know that if they were deported after Jan 20, 2001, that every press release about her would say, "Dianne Guererro whose parents were deported to Colombia by the Bush Administration". So you have to assume that it was during the Administration of the Dope From Hope was when she was separated from her parents

Sasha wrote a follow up post. It wasn’t an editorial update. It was Sasha fear of the Leftist mob.
She was already previously cancelled by that mob for posting in X ‘White Power!’ to poke fun at the ‘White Dudes for Harris’ meeting during the last presidential campaign. Below is the Hollywood Reporter story on it. Sasha felt direct economic loss as a result, as Hollywood Studios pulled ad funding from Sasha’s ‘Award Daily’ website. Writers to her Awards Daily site also left after Sasha was labeled ‘toxic’. She was blackballed by the Left and it left an injury mark. How couldn’t it? Sasha is an extremely brave woman and I have tons of respect for her.
Sasha should just ignore those idiots. No one, literally no one, cares about what they think anymore. I never did. Hollywierd is mostly satanic filth now.
While I understand the desire & appreciate the sentiment, maybe we're past that point. Maybe we always should have been.
I was born in '70 & due to 'life-events', knew by the early 90's that Evil, as a Force, was societally endemic & behind the scenes, culturally approved.
It was a widespread refusal to believe, that let it take root. It was a culture more concerned with being 'Nice', rather than being Good (not wanting to hurt people, to cause trouble, etc...), that let it fester.
I'm sorry. I'm not angry at you, nor am I disagreeing with the intent. It's just that we have to, we must, look far deeper than now, to what was, so we can understand what Will Be.
I am reminded of a good line in The Lord of the Rings: ... I am a hobbit, and no more valiant than I am a Man, save perhaps now and again by necessity." The response was "Many a doer of great deeds might say no more."
The point is well taken, but I can't believe that this is seen as your sole "take away" that merits comment, from all that there is to consider here.
Personally, I will throw in caps for emphasis at times. If you see "elevation" in that selection by Ms Stone, I get it, but does its context really convey the same for you?
Dave, this language use is part of the overall oppressor/victim identity ideology we’d like to see buried 6 feet under. The zeitgeist has now changed and allowed more voices speak up and out against these unnecessary language virtue signaling (or in Sasha’s case, avoidance of the cancel cult mob).
Yeah, I mean spelling and punctuation are SO important when it comes to racism. It's not what you believe, it's not the actions you actually take in your life, what really matters is precise grammar.

I see these deranged people every day on the streets on NYC. These menacing black men walk up talking mid conversation. Just keep walking. Don’t engage.
I was on grand jury duty for a week a couple years ago. We had 21 cases, 19 of which involved video of black men committing violence from assault to murder. No other race. I was totally shocked and spoke with the prosecutors afterward. They said that’s the way it always is. This was no aberration.
We have a huge crime problem and are not beginning to face it. Instead they tried to jail Danniel Penny. I gotta get out of this city.
I remember a year or so back when a woman was brutally attacked in NYC as she tried to enter the subway on her way to work. This unfortunate victim was blinded in one eye by her attacker. How many of these crimes do we as a society have to endure until this issue is fully addressed and those committing them are incarcerated in prison or a mental institution?
What poor Iryna suffered actually began in LBJs admin, 1960s, with welfare that killed-off the black family...have babies, get more money. The black father felt unnecessary and left. That cancer has been growing for 6 decades now, fatherless homes, and along with lefist media/Democrat lies that disarm naive white folks while keeping violent blacks on the streets, well we have a HUGE problem.
Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a large portion of American life centers around avoiding its consequences. Where we live, where our children go to school, where we shop, where we go for entertainment, all are the result of minimizing contact with a culture that glorifies aggression, rejects discipline, ridicules order, and places little value on education.
Good points Gusdad, and liberal/leftist/do-gooder intentions do nothing to hold black men accountable, nothing to educate them or raise their lot in life. SMH.
The CRA was different from the "Great Society" welfare state which came a year later. The CRA finally gave blacks the same rights as whites, as should have been guaranteed under the 14th Amendment had Democrats not found ways around it for a century.
Since the CRA elevated blacks, Democrats sought a new way to stomp them back down. This was where the welfare state and lifetime dependency came into play.
As an added bonus, LBJ's FBI assassinated the only true leader black America ever had. They are still leaderless to this day.
Yet blacks have been blindly loyal to the Democrat party ever since, forgetting which party broke their chains.
Remember LBJ's famous non-public quote at the time? "We'll have those ni**ers voting Democrat for the next hundred years!".
Sixty years on, it would appear that he was quite prescient.
This was the beginning of the Democrat Plantation. Keep the black man down not by chaining him (as Democrats did a century earlier), instead lock him into a lifetime of dependency on government handouts. Which only the Democrat party will provide.
Is there another demographic in the country that would have been affected by a few hundred dollars a month to abandon the family other than black men? Could you imagine Asian men turning their backs on their families for $360 dollars a month? How about White men, or Hispanic men? What is it about the black man that thinks this is OK? Approaching 80% fatherless homes? I certainly wouldn't blame the government.
Yep, we give them a chance at success by not coddling them, by not lying to them, by not pretending they are entitled to success because they are black.
THE LIBERAL TEACHING TO BLACKS THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS BEING HELD BACK BY DISCRIMINATION, THAT is so DAMN DAMAGING TO THEIR PSYCHE, .....they walk around every day thinking there is a DISCRIMINATION link to every bad thing that happens to them.
RIght minded conservatives dont play that GAME with them. Leftist liberals have BADLY damaged the black community...and it continues.
Get out, don’t think about it. With the incoming communist Mayor soon to flip all remaining switches it will ( hard to believe) only get worse. Get out.
The LA Times use to have a feature called "The Face of Crime" and every week, during the late 1980's, early 1990s, readers would find a whole page dedicated to mini mugshots of who was committing violent felonies in the community. Every week, a sprinkle of white, maybe one Asian mugshot and the other 90 something % black and Latino men. This was when the LA Times was balanced, reason based journalism.
“The story here isn’t to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous.”
Sasha, you could not possibly really believe that at your age and with awareness of real life. Except for 4 years in the Marines, ‘68 to ‘72, I’ve lived in Chicago all my life and all my life I’ve seen that blacks in general are bad news. After the Marines I started working (CNC machinery) in Chicago factories. More and more of the people were immigrants from all over the world. Excellent people with traditional values. All of them were appalled by black behavior and felt it was blacks, not whites, who very much needed to change. Never will you read about that in our Woke leftist msm.
Anyone who doubts that blacks in Chicago are the overwhelming perpetrators of the out of control crime here should follow the Chicago crime blog CWBChicago and look at the daily pictures of those committing the crime.
An anthropologist friend of mine has told me that multiple studies have shown that the urban black community is overwhelmingly the most violent group in America dating back to the Johnson so-called War on Poverty which tied black families to dependency on the federal government and broke up families by “eliminating” fathers.
Don't forget the degradation of the education system. My father was in high school during WWII. All students were required to take algebra, calculus, chemistry, physics, French, and Latin. I had some university students that could not write a coherent paragraph. Also, during Covid, we were told we could not fail the minority students. So they pass on to the next level and fail out in two or three semester, now $10,000 or more in debt. The system keeps taking advantage of people.
I worked for the federal government. I had a very nice black co-worker who was a graduate of the D.C. public school system ask me if Philadelphia was near Pennsylvania.
To me, something began to change for the worst after the release of the movie "Colors", when the entertainment industry seemed to realize how much money could be made from the glorification of violent urban culture. "Boyz in the 'Hood" in 1991 locked in that niche, and it'$ been EZ money ever since.
Certainly not in the manner of, say, a Dr Dre or Ice Cube music video of the era, but the audience reactions to the "action scenes", whether intended to be solely part of a cautionary tale, did not "hit" in the culture as such.
Ofc it did. Singleton has stated he wanted to highlight the violence of Compton/Torrance to bring 'awareness' to the hood. 'Either they don't know, or they don't care...' is the thematic thrust of the film. Ofc, NONE of that bullshit addresses any agency, much less accountability nor responsibility. The fatigue is real.
One of the problems I see is that much of the judicial services are peopled by blacks who are brain washed by the notion of racial self-protection; “these are my people, they have been oppressed, and I will not further their burden with a punishment.”
I would love to see some research into how many actual black criminals exist. What percentage of the people are repeatedly committing the crimes.
Read commentary from Heather Mac Donald. She's been exploring the shocking messaging on George Floyd, BLM, "defund the police", systemic racism and black/white crime statistics for quite while a now. The "inconvenient truth" on crime that has been denied by Ds for the last twenty years is coming home to roost.
“Figures from President Biden on down are telling blacks, nonstop, that they are under lethal threat from whites, and that it is white supremacists, not black criminals, who pose the greatest threat to their safety. “Buffalo attack ignites safety worries for Black Angelenos,” reads a headline in the May 22 Los Angeles Times. New York representative Jerrold Nadler, a sponsor of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, says, “Democrats are taking the fight straight to the . . . violent extremists that are terrorizing minority institutions.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of black Americans were very or somewhat worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race. A respondent interviewed by the Post says that he is “apprehensive at stoplights, imagining a White man getting out and shooting him in his car.”
“Using Tragedy for Racial Propaganda.”
After the horror in Buffalo, President Biden and others peddle an entirely false charge: that whites are the biggest source of hate crime and interracial violence in the US.
Not 'blacks' in the judiciary and prosecutors' offices, but 'progressives'. Some happen to be black, many are white. Liberal YTs started this crap, and lovingly maintain it, after all.
I saw a post on X that said why can a bartender get arrested as accessory to murder for letting a drunk drive home who then gets into an accident and kills someone, but not a judge or prosecutor who release a violent 13 time felon who is mentally ill who then goes on to kill someone.
Bottom line, there was no way in this day and age that this killer was going to be in jail. The mayor appears to not even want him incarcerated now! The Dem party uses “the narrative” of oppression and racism for their own power (and in some cases like Kendi, enrichment). To admit the truth is to risk giving up power and they will not do that. Besides, sure some Ukrainian girl dies, but it wasn’t the mayor’s kid, nor one of her donor’s kids, nor one of the judges who kept letting this guy out.
White or black or purple or green, violent mentally ill homeless criminals should be kept away from us, and treated or incarcerated or both. Unfortunately the people in charge of dark blue cities and states will never allow that for what they perceive is “oppressed classes” (black, Latino, trans…) no matter who it hurts. Power.
Just wait to see what happens when Mamdani takes over NYC …
Ironically, Brandon Johnson's highest vote margins were in the wards with the worst crime problems. Either that was a plea for help or an endorsement of more crime.
Welcome to hell. The cartel gangsters will have armed squads and none of them will be arrested and put in Rykers Island. When Trump sends in the National Guards and or the Army Rangers there will be blood in the streets. Mamdani will openly invite in Hamas and Al Queda fighters. The idiot Governor will support Hamas.
I'm wondering why that story didn't get more attention in connection with this one. The details are just as appalling but I guess it wasn't caught on video.
What pisses me off is that NOBODY curb stomped that motherfucker while blood was still dripping!
My powerlifter son was 'knockout gamed' in Fargo three years ago by a black vagrant with 22 priors... His name was Reginald Cooper. 22 prior assaults and felonies, one with a gun which should have meant serious jailtime.
Not including you, Sasha - YOU LEFTIES OWN THIS for decriminalizing these assholes.
The problem with your solution is the "Daniel Penney" situation - look at what Mr. Penney faced when he did act, which contributed mightily to what by-standers did - if they'd tried to stop this perp would the Charlotte authorities have charged them with some crime for "harming" this perp? The system is stacked against the (white) Good Samaritans these days with the trial lawyers and the Dem Party officials in government, e.g., judges, AGs, mayors, city council officials, etc., going after those who try to help, particularly if they are a different ethnic group, etc.
Look at Bernie Gaetz, he pulled out a gun and shot the perps on the subway train. He was prosecuted for defending himself. Why would anyone live in NYC? People should have concealed carry in big cities. It should be totally legal in all 50 states. A small woman with a gun in her purse could defend herself against one of these monsters. Get tactical training. And a pink camo 380 Sig Sauer semi auto.
The criminal justice system has failed miserably. The guy had more than a dozen priors, his own family wanted him put away. Cashless bail, DEI magistrate, media that condemns protecting yourself, Joyless Reid and others that espouse white hate. Look at the Daniel Penny case. In Canada the police chief when referencing a home invasion says to comply with the criminals. My God, things are fucked up beyond belief. If you don’t protect yourself and your loved ones no one will.
A citizen with a pistol might have mattered in that scenario though you never know whether, as an intervenor, you'll find yourself in the dock bankrupted by legal defense costs for an heroic act.
“The story here isn’t to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous.”
Why isn't it? When is statistically proven observable reality going to overcome the fantasy of cultural equivalence, and how many more victims have to pay the price of this protracted game of pretend?
I remember watching the bit of hype that was "Asian hate" up until videos of black men attacking Asian women on the street debunked the intended message of "white men are evil, racist murderers". And just like that, no more "Asian hate".
Leftists are executing their Cloward-Piven strategy from the 1960’s Columbia University professors. Overwhelming the welfare system with illegal aliens. Overwhelming the criminal justice system and emptying the jails and prisons. Creating chaos and anarchy. Get ready folks for what may be next. Arm yourself and get tactical training . The illegal aliens and violent criminals are the Brown Shirts that the Nazis used in the 1930’s to create change. Kristalnacht in NYC will happen again in NYC when the muslim communist Momdani is put into power. Get ready. Our loving Jewish neighbors should move out of NYC to the middle of our country or to the south to escape what is coming soon.
Sasha, here’s some advice you should give your daughter to help her navigate life in our fallen world which is permeated with evil although also permeated with beautiful things so it’s not like it’s all bad. Tell her all things in life are a matter of odds and her odds of staying safe will be significantly better if she avoids blacks. That’s not being fair to decent blacks who are good people but the reality is that our fallen world is far from fair. Better to put Truth, objective reality, ahead of Goodness, feeling that we should always be fair. If the young Ukrainian woman had been guided by Truth rather than Goodness she’d still be alive.
I always thought the idea of the NAACP was ludicrous.
They as,a people, will never be advanced until they are more afraid to be left alone in a room with either their mother or their NAACP-appointed attorney than they are being left alone with the police
Maybe this one, is the one that creates the will to put away 'political correctness' get back to a civil society. Otherwise, we just continue to devolve into dystopia. Animals like the guy that did this need to be separated from the rest of us that are trying to preserve a lawful civilization. Plain and simple. He gave up his rights to be among us. 13 priors was a little clue, eh?
So how can all this be allowed? Who has infiltrated our society and how and who funds it? Follow the money, as it always leads to the answer. It is not organic--it is money-driven. Just like these 'protesters'...
Ignoring the truth has to stop. If the truth can't be acknowledged, the actual causes of these horrific outcomes can't be addressed. 1) The Soros DA's are intent on destabilizing the country by allowing criminals to run free and cause havoc. 2) Allowing, and in many cases encouraging rampant drug use, destroys countless lives (read Alex Barenson's thoughts on marijuana). 3) Not addressing mental illness through institutional means is a huge problem (ironically, it was Reagan who made the huge mistake to close down all of the state run mental health facilities in the 80's). 4) The destruction of the nuclear family through social assistance programs has led to fatherless boys without a moral compass running wild. 5) The democrat, formerly white liberal, now often black liberal run cities who have now controlled the workings of government in ALL of our major cities for decades, have destroyed education, police departments, budgets, general services and have created "Escape from New York/LA" hellscapes for residents and visitors. 6) Mail in voting and non-paper/electronic only voting processes are meant to enable election theft, and have accomplished theft over and over again.
The left WANTS all of this to happen... they want to delegitimize our constitutional republic and replace it with another socialist/communist hell hole. We are in the middle of a civil war that the left has sought and brought about... it's well past time for everyone on the right to understand that fact and to fight the war through the communication of facts and support of policies that address these purposefully destructive actions by the left. THE TWO THINGS EACH OF US CAN DO TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE AT THE MOMENT ARE 1) TO BE WILLING TO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PROBLEMS, AND 2) MAKE SURE VOTING PROCESSES DON'T ALLOW FOR CHEATING.
You always skip over why we hate you. You gave us plenty of reasons, and we gave you plenty of chances. You and your fellow travelers have worn out your welcome in every space from comment boards to communities.
There's a better "other side" to be had after we drive him and everyone like him into the political wilderness. He's taking up real estate that could be put to better uses anywhere he happens to be standing.
When 6% of the population that is black men commit 50 to 60% of the crime in America and your not concerned for your safety around a black man your a damn Idiot.
Notice that the Democrat governor, who was the attorney general, has a response. He urges taxpayers and his political buddies to "pass his budget" which gives more money to the problems. Problems that will never be fixed because the real goal is to have problems so taxpayers will keep being fleeced for more money. If you solve problems these politicians can't demand more money. This goes for everything right down to potholes in the road. If the roads were fixed, how do you extort the public for more money?
Lee is correct. The Democrat Governor was in the "let's hope no one noticed" camp. Only when X broke the story were the Mayor & Governor forced (shamed) to address the issue. Democrats "cancel" anyone who is harmed by their policies. In this case "catch & release" criminals. The Mayor begged news organizations to not report it.
It worked for two weeks. I Ashevilke BC they have a guy with 18 arrests out on the streets, he stabbed someone with a needle last week. That is reported on X by Matt Van Swol who was a Dem but left the "cult" of Dem wokism.
Our politicians and leaders have been selling us out for a long time. Time for voters to get them the hell out of office. Stop voting for these losers. If we don’t get results, they need to be held accountable.
In the modern era they started with "Only white people can be racist" and "All Lives Matter" is racist. Once they managed to convince the majority of naive white people, especially women and girls, of these 2 things it was open season not just on white people but anyone who appears defenseless. The little old lady with her pay envelope at the bus stop. The kid on a bicycle he saved up to buy.
They want what you have even if it's all you have. You're lucky to escape with your life. They attack in packs frequently; but the truly crazy go it alone because even the rest of the pack knows they're crazy.
People shouldn't have to live like this. But it's reality in Democrat inner cities where academic theories are tested on the least among us.
In truth this has been happening for decades. Those of us left behind after white flight lived it to the Nth degree along with the old lady at the bus stop and the tourist who's car broke down in the wrong place and the guilt laden college student who finds out too late that her Psych professor was lying to them - too late to escape.
We experienced and currently live what it's like in a society that empties out the prisons and mental institutions. You can't conjure up or manufacture utopia. You have to deal with broken human beings by separating them from society. We have to stop letting political and social correctness and misplaced guilt run our society.
Ladies please put your head on a swivel in public and position yourself like the gamblers in the wild west. Never sit with your back to the door or a potential adversary. Your intuition is usually right. Carry a weapon like gel pepper spray or a handful of salt. You are 110 lb rag dolls. Don't engage without a weapon. Don't wander drunk in public. Don't believe a word your professor says on this topic. Please forgive the puntuation and spelling mistakes. I don't have time to correct.
Well said, but don't forget, in addition to our own prisons and mental institutions being emptied into society, American elites have allowed/encouraged the prisons and mental institutions of foreign countries (i.e., Venezuela) to be emptied into the US. Sigh.
And never get on any form of public transportation in a big city. Pay for the “car” service. NYC and Mogadishu are not safe places for straight white people. Or black families. Especially black families whom are good people.
"The story here isn’t to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous."
Sasha. You are wrong. Your statement is true in a simplistic, contrite, and very naive, "narrative" sort of way that you actively condemn in your article.
The narrative that has been suppressed and repackaged is at the core of the white guilt, race hustle, SJW premise. The basis of the theory of "we can't arrest ourselves out of this problem" as the mayor of Charlotte stated to excuse the fact that the murderer had been arrested 13 times prior. Because if she did, she would have a much higher percentage of black men (mostly, as black women have their own proclivities) in prison, and that is anathema to progressive politicians.
The truth, as opposed to the narrative is that 13% of the population commits ~60% of all violent crime. And that truth will not be admitted because it will open a can of worms that the left will not discuss. Instead, the left will go back to "black lives matter," "systemic racism," excusing bad behavior and encouraging victimhood on steroids. That can of worms goes back 60 years to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The promoting of single mothers, multiple baby daddies, the destruction of the black, Christian family unit that was thriving up until the 60's when the race hustle really began. Without that hustle, scum Al Sharpton wouldn't have a job. Nor, most Democrat politicians.
That, unfortunately is the hard truth "narrative" that needs to be force fed to the masses. Otherwise, nothing will change. And along with that, the truth that most of the violence caused by blacks is inflicted on blacks. There are many law abiding, hard working, frustrated blacks who see this (God bless them), but are generally decried as Uncle Toms, or now more fashionably, MAGAs.
The substance of your article was strong, yet within it you maintain that same white guilt and sense of inferiority to black folk. Why else consistently within the article capitalize Black people but use lower case when describing white folk. That usage itself minimizes and devalues white folk, and elevates Black folk. It would appear obvious to you if you consistently reference White folk, capitalizing White, and in the same sentence referenced black folk, using lower case. If I were to write that White folk should fear black folk, one would say that was racist. If I were to write that White folk should not fear black folk, one would still say that was racist, because I capitalized White and not black. Either use capitals to describe White and Black folk, or use lower case to describe white and black folk. The subtle use of grammatical conventions says alot.
It’s a valid point out, Steve, I agree. Capitalize both or capitalize neither.
Neither. Its a color. That's all. And what if someone has a black and a white parent.
That would be a gray area.
C’mon Nigel.. it would be g(G)rey 🤭
Levity, the great defuser!
In one of life’s rich ironies, “anti-racists” use the same “one drop“ standard as the racists used in the 19th and 20th centuries. So my niece is “black” even though 23andme says she is less than 50% black.
It’s hypocrisy all the way down.
I was about to post a comment following an article and did not capitalize black. I suddenly realzed that I would be branded a racist by people who disagreed with my comment. But I had no intention of capitalizing white - Again, I would be branded a racist by people who disagreed with my comment. It's becoming tough to post comments.
I solved the problem - I capitalize neither.
If you worry about being called a racist, it will indeed be impossible to post comments. It's the most overused go-to by people who refuse to actually engage with ideas.
I would capitalize both to refer to race, and not capitalized when referring to the colors.
The Woke left started doing that after George Floyd died of a heart attack and fentanyl overdose which they blamed on white racism since the cop involved was white. The capital letter “B” in black is meant to show respect for blacks whereas the lower case “w” in white is meant to show that whites are undeserving of respect due to their racism.
The Woke white left endlessly wallows in white guilt which has rotted their brains and driven them insane. It has motivated them to wage war on meritocracy which is being replaced with equity aka race based equal outcomes. This is why they have no problem with things like CRT and the 1619 Project being promoted in our public schools. They want to instill white guilt in white children so that they’ll support things like reparations, open borders (borders are racist) and the dumbing down of standards for the sake of equity. They are quite insane. How can we possibly ever recover from the damage they’ve done which they are quite determined to continue doing?

Ferguson O'Beezey in the Oval Office kicked off this "campaign" in 2014, and then doubled down when the Dallas police officers were assassinated in cold blood, as far as my timeline goes. That's when I saw Obama for the first time.
The Kenyan Messiah began his contrived race war early in his first term with the Robert Louis Gates affair ("That policeman acted stupidly"), then came the Trayvon Martin hoax ("If I had a son..."), Eric Garner, ("I can't breathe...but I can speak"), and the grand finale in Ferguson ("Hands up, don't shoot").
Hollywood couldn't have written a better script, while America bought into every single lie.
A book was written about this “Helter Skelter”. The Beatles made a song about it. Charles Manson tried to start a national race war. It seems that this is what Obama was searching for.
anything to move the needle Obama did as much as he could without being seen...Thats his gig,,,not be seen,,
Charlie predicted a race war between blacks and whites, and it looks like he was right.
I remember that movie well. Steve Railsback played a chilling Manson. For a TV movie in the 1970's it was quite shocking.
The power and the potency of race politics has not faded over time. If anything, it's more effective today. Right along with Liberal White Guilt.
Henry Louis Gates, not to be confused with the author Robert Louis Stevenson.
LOL! Not even close.
Gates refused to show ID to the cop, saying, "Don't you know who I am?".
"No.", replied the cop, "Should I?"
There is no confusion between an author of classic novels and Obama's pet lobby-boy.
Pattern recognition and threat awareness are not racism. I guess gun control didn't work in this case either. Unfortunately, I wish I hadn't read this story as now I feel less empathy for the girl after seeing her chalkboard.
She was twenty three. How nonconformist and genuinely thoughtful is the average twenty three year old? How eager is such a person to be seen as disruptive, especially if she has come to the country from half a world away?
If you try to recall your own mind when you were twenty three you're likely to be embarrassed.
I've always been a nonconformist from about the age of 5. But, yeah in my younger years I've made bad decisions and changed my mind on several things. Point taken.
It took one to know one.
Appreciate you reminding me. I tend to get on one track without context at times.
When I was a kid (real America under Truman and Ike), ordinary people routinely used language that would land you in prison today. The trouble is that that language was true and today's woke-isms are totally false and delusional. One of the most thoroughly tested and proven ideas in social science is that widely-held stereotypes are generally true and valuable in assessing risks and benefits in life, in the absence of specific knowledge. "Live not by lies" - Alexandr Solzhenitsyn.
I hadn't known that. It makes sense, but at the same time one has to keep it in balance with the willingness, if forced, at least to try to keep an open mind. There are constant exceptions, the murder of the young woman in North Carolina being an inescapable one.
We're about the same age. I'm 73, so the first president I was aware of was Eisenhower. It's not just the virtual extinction of the capacity to use insulting language in public at the expense of clods which has diminished us. Another of the great lost things in American life is the threat of the punch out. Is it a coincidence that as the threat of the punch out has diminished to the point of nonexistence we have become an increasingly obnoxious "society?"
As far as punch-outs vs. insulting language, I think it was Robt W Heinlein who said that an armed society is a polite society. The problem today is that what's considered insulting has changed 100% -- from what insulted normal people to what insults perverts, aliens, and angry mutants.
Why should any white person feel guilt? We built America. We invented almost everything we use every day. Our forefathers worked hard in a difficult environment. We spread freedom and liberty even though it has not always been done in the best possible way. We are still struggling to create a more perfect union. If people don’t like America, then they should leave for another place. What do almost all people want? Peace, prosperity, and safety for their families and for their communities. We can’t do that if peace and safety are compromised to promote hatred and racism from leftists and Democrats. If anyone is a violent criminal they should be in prison or executed for extreme cases. No long series of ridiculous appeals to free guilty people. The color of your skin is irrelevant. Lock them up. It is usually the same few violent offenders that do the violence, over and over. Lock up the leftist prosecutors and judges that let them out of prison. Defund the cities and states with cashless bail. Pass laws to protect common Americans, not violent criminals and violent illegal aliens. Enforcement of the law is justice. Social justice is violence, not justice.
The Chicago Teachers Union statement is a textbook example of the (incomprehensibly named) fallacy known as Affirming the Consequent. It's like this.
"If an animal is a cat, it is a mammal. So if an animal is a mammal, it is a cat."
"If tests are racists, Blacks will do badly. So if Blacks do badly, tests are racist."
Lucky for us that Lefty indoctrinators, eager to succeed "by any means necessary", long started implying that Guilt by Association is not a fallacy. So now they are stuck with putting themselves on the losing side of issues like "transgender" athletes in women's sports, rather than be told "You stand with Trump!" Too bad for them that transgenderism is just an updated version of "The Emperors New Clothes".
Another reason that Demos cannot moderate, is that DEI is unfalsifiable: there is literally no evidence that would make them change their minds. Google AI admitted that to me just a few days ago. And Google AI is very much "all in" with DEI.
go back to the 1930s film they began changing the characters in movies,,,the criminals to appear more sympathetic
Black people, or black leaders, have demanded capitalization. Major media outlets do this. A few years ago you had to say African American. The correct terms keep changing. Maybe it is time to stop being cowed by these demands and just refuse to capitalize. I used to think of it as being polite, speaking of people the way they wanted. But I'm over it.
Yep. And good analysis by S.Stone here. The liberal media and Democrats have essentially killed, harmed, and raped many women in America by promoting the lie that black men are harmless victims of society and should be trusted no matter what.
While many America-raised girls are wise enuff NOT to have sat in front of a hoodie-thug, poor Iryna naively BOUGHT the lies fed to her, the Geo Floyd lies, the BLM lies.
Sadly, she's not the first victim and won't be the last.
(and BTW, what about the blacks sitting across the aisle from this creep -- did he ever consider murdering them......?)
Just read an acct of the racist thugs' commentary, post murder:
"I got that white girl. I got that white girl."
Racism is alive and well in America, its just NOT coming from who you've been told.
====
Now, go find a pic of the so-called Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who let this scum out of jail. You won't be surprised.
Wow! She's looks like a product of Affirmative Action and DEI for sure.
Interracial crime is relatively uncommon but, statistically, blacks commit 85% of interracial crime in the U.S.
"Relatively uncommon"--try telling that to anyone who lives in a big city...
Yes, but on a national basis it is relatively rare.
Nobody lives on "a national basis." We live locally. And in many locales, black on white crime is accepted as a fact of life. Stop minimizing it.
Oh, if it's a matter of scale, then black-on-white crime only occurs on one planet in our whole solar system. Doesn't sound like a big problem to me. 🙄
Bullshit.
There's a more complete video that's come out. I haven't seen it but have seen stills from it. You can see her holding her neck and I imagine she couldn't even scream because her lungs were filling up with blood as she bled to death. What's odd is that there's very little blood on her.
But what's most disturbing is that the blacks -- excuse me, Blacks -- across the aisle from her sat there, none of them did anything to help. Pressure on the wound might have saved her.
I still want to know if the pic of her in her residence with the blackboard that said "BLM" is authentic. You never know these daze.
I imagine its completely authentic, cuz THAT is just how effective media-leftist lies are to the innocent, unsuspecting people who trust the media. She wasnt raised around low-end criminal blacks in Ukraine -- none there. She wanted to love America and bought into all the fake TV shows/commercials that constantly tell us how 'great' black men are. Shame.
Im compelled to show the video to my granddaughters...I dont want them to be sucker to the lies: Cant breathe. Dont shoot,hands up, etc etc, on and on......
As I said in an earlier post, most blacks won't do anything to you, but they won't help you if someone else does.
Yup. Photo Shop is easy peezy.
If your homeless your already dangerous,,,you commit crimes and do drugs and alcohol
This is what drives me nuts. You can stack a pyramid of dead Black/black bodies every weekend in Chicago, but hey, let's fight about the spelling instead of the lives.
Great catch there. Shows that it’s not easy for Libs to detox from the woke mind virus! That being said, Sasha’s doing much better than 99% of the weak minded lefties, that are still captured by the never ending propaganda!
She still has a dog in the fight. You can smell her sadness . She wants to remain a good Democrat, but the cognitive dissonance is wearing her down.
Same deal as how she refers to trannies by their imaginary gender because it's supposedly the nice and polite thing to do. But to do so is to affirm and submit to their delusions. Doing so isn't just degrading to the non-tranny playing along but it doesn't serve the tranny either.
Bruce Jenner was an Olympic swimmer. The other name is ridiculous and fake. Too bad he mutilated his body.
....not 'swimmer' Tom, but he won gold in the Decathlon.
💯 Well put!!!
Maybe, you should just listen to Sasha narrate her story. Very pleasing voice, and no capitalization/punctuation will come through to distract you from her story? The story is an important one and Sasha is informing us (from her quite liberal past, point of view) of how our culture has drifted (forced off course?) away from the American ideal of living our lives as we wish without fear of being harmed. We used to live within a social contract of mutual respect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with out fear of being harmed. Now, the miscreants are being coddled, attempted rehabilitated and allowed to run rampant. They actually refuse to rehab and continue on their path of destruction, to themselves as well as the public around them. When some non-feminized male steps up to contain a deranged soul, he is then brutalized by lawfare bowing down at the alter of racism - as is the case of Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely in NYC. But good men will still rise....
I totally agree. On most days I will read Sasha's articles online, however, for some strange reason today I found myself, early this morning, downstairs checking emails on my IPhone and The Girl on the Train article appeared. I decided to listen. The sound of Sasha's voice, while telling the story, was a powerful experience. At the end I was totally wrecked.
I believe the vicious murder of Iryna Zarutska may well be a turning point on the issue of violence in our country. The lame attempt by the mayor of Charlotte NC, along with her trusted group of enablers, to keep this story confined to a local level will be their tragic flaw. That the story is now on a national level will hopefully get the attention of good men and women of all political stripes.
If Democrats continue to enable members of their party, along with a broken MSM, who choose to resist President Trump in his valiant attempt to resolve the issue of crime and violence in some of our major cities; then they can all go straight to hell.
The time is now. It is not a time to resist but a time to join in support.
Yet, while I am concerned for the safety of my fellow Americans out there on the streets, I cannot help but think of my son, daughter and her husband along two granddaughters who live in Los Angeles. My wife and I moved from Burbank CA in 2020 to a small village in Western NY. We are happy and feel safe here. I wish our LA family would join us. Maybe one day.
Until then, as long as Karen Bass is LA mayor and Gavin Newsom is CA governor I will continue to be concerned for my families safety.
May the sweet soul of Iryna Zarutska forever rest in peace.
Make the Democrats say her name.
Iryna Zarutska
Agree, nice voice and strong message.
Yes. Extremely irritating. Just pointed out the same thing to another commenter yesterday.
It is possible that this is being auto-corrected or changed by an editor. In most publications, eveything that's written has to be in accord with a style guide.
I wrote for a newspaper in a medium size city. The Black/white thing hadn't arrived yet, but I could not get a sentence through if I teamed a singular noun with "they," or "their." As in "A student has to have THEIR homework checked by the teacher," when correct English has long taughter that it's "HIS homework." So I would write my sentences to avoid that, such as, "All students must have their homework," etc."
Someone may have just "fixed" Sasha's small "b" for him.
Gut instinct is the last vestiges of our animal survival instincts. I have sometimes ignored it, always to my detriment. When something inside is telling you you are not safe, pay attention. You can call it your guardian angel, God or whatever, but if you are in touch with yourself, sometimes your body will tell you what your brain doesn't recognize as danger. We have told kids, especially girls, that they have to be friends with everyone. No. No adult is "friends with everyone" because some people are toxic and others are simply dangerous. Case in point, while in Vegas some drunk started bullying me to get up from my seat at a table. My first instinct was to get into an argument, but my husband pulled me aside and said, "we need to leave." He spotted the guy had a knife, and my husband said he didn't want to end up in jail or the hospital that night. Gut instincts for the win.
I think I wouldn't be alive if I hadn't listened to my angel who was shouting DANGER DANGER in my head. In this case it was 2 white guys. We have to pay attention!
I can't stand the criticism being aimed at the man at the Phillies/Marlins game who surrendered the baseball to the roided up Karen.
Yes, ideally, he would have been stoical, taciturn, polite, but uncompliant. We don't live in an ideal world. And as much as we hate to admit it, we are intimidated by a screaming bully whose body language is just begging to have the gentlest hand laid on her.
The man's instincts called it right for him. Meanwhile, we can hope that Karen spontaneously combusts.
Wow. I'm guessing you're on the HOA.
lol
And don't forget how you can always tell someone's race or poltical affiliation by what they don't say.
I just saw a post on Facebook about a 70 year old man beaten to death in Chicago. If the perp was white or wearing a red hat, the Headline would read "White man beats 70-year old man to death"
Actress Dianne Guerrero's parents were deported when she was 14. I have never found the exact date, but you know that if they were deported after Jan 20, 2001, that every press release about her would say, "Dianne Guererro whose parents were deported to Colombia by the Bush Administration". So you have to assume that it was during the Administration of the Dope From Hope was when she was separated from her parents

Sasha wrote a follow up post. It wasn’t an editorial update. It was Sasha fear of the Leftist mob.
She was already previously cancelled by that mob for posting in X ‘White Power!’ to poke fun at the ‘White Dudes for Harris’ meeting during the last presidential campaign. Below is the Hollywood Reporter story on it. Sasha felt direct economic loss as a result, as Hollywood Studios pulled ad funding from Sasha’s ‘Award Daily’ website. Writers to her Awards Daily site also left after Sasha was labeled ‘toxic’. She was blackballed by the Left and it left an injury mark. How couldn’t it? Sasha is an extremely brave woman and I have tons of respect for her.

Sasha should just ignore those idiots. No one, literally no one, cares about what they think anymore. I never did. Hollywierd is mostly satanic filth now.
We might hope that Sasha post and all our replies helps her do that.
'Hollyweird is mostly satanic filth now.'
Now?
It always HAS Been.
I know, I am trying to be kind to some of the older folks who made movies before 1970
While I understand the desire & appreciate the sentiment, maybe we're past that point. Maybe we always should have been.
I was born in '70 & due to 'life-events', knew by the early 90's that Evil, as a Force, was societally endemic & behind the scenes, culturally approved.
It was a widespread refusal to believe, that let it take root. It was a culture more concerned with being 'Nice', rather than being Good (not wanting to hurt people, to cause trouble, etc...), that let it fester.
I'm sorry. I'm not angry at you, nor am I disagreeing with the intent. It's just that we have to, we must, look far deeper than now, to what was, so we can understand what Will Be.
I am reminded of a good line in The Lord of the Rings: ... I am a hobbit, and no more valiant than I am a Man, save perhaps now and again by necessity." The response was "Many a doer of great deeds might say no more."
The point is well taken, but I can't believe that this is seen as your sole "take away" that merits comment, from all that there is to consider here.
Personally, I will throw in caps for emphasis at times. If you see "elevation" in that selection by Ms Stone, I get it, but does its context really convey the same for you?
To each his own, I guess.
Dave, this language use is part of the overall oppressor/victim identity ideology we’d like to see buried 6 feet under. The zeitgeist has now changed and allowed more voices speak up and out against these unnecessary language virtue signaling (or in Sasha’s case, avoidance of the cancel cult mob).
Fair observation.
Yeah, I mean spelling and punctuation are SO important when it comes to racism. It's not what you believe, it's not the actions you actually take in your life, what really matters is precise grammar.

I see these deranged people every day on the streets on NYC. These menacing black men walk up talking mid conversation. Just keep walking. Don’t engage.
I was on grand jury duty for a week a couple years ago. We had 21 cases, 19 of which involved video of black men committing violence from assault to murder. No other race. I was totally shocked and spoke with the prosecutors afterward. They said that’s the way it always is. This was no aberration.
We have a huge crime problem and are not beginning to face it. Instead they tried to jail Danniel Penny. I gotta get out of this city.
I remember a year or so back when a woman was brutally attacked in NYC as she tried to enter the subway on her way to work. This unfortunate victim was blinded in one eye by her attacker. How many of these crimes do we as a society have to endure until this issue is fully addressed and those committing them are incarcerated in prison or a mental institution?
What poor Iryna suffered actually began in LBJs admin, 1960s, with welfare that killed-off the black family...have babies, get more money. The black father felt unnecessary and left. That cancer has been growing for 6 decades now, fatherless homes, and along with lefist media/Democrat lies that disarm naive white folks while keeping violent blacks on the streets, well we have a HUGE problem.
Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a large portion of American life centers around avoiding its consequences. Where we live, where our children go to school, where we shop, where we go for entertainment, all are the result of minimizing contact with a culture that glorifies aggression, rejects discipline, ridicules order, and places little value on education.
Good points Gusdad, and liberal/leftist/do-gooder intentions do nothing to hold black men accountable, nothing to educate them or raise their lot in life. SMH.
The CRA was different from the "Great Society" welfare state which came a year later. The CRA finally gave blacks the same rights as whites, as should have been guaranteed under the 14th Amendment had Democrats not found ways around it for a century.
Since the CRA elevated blacks, Democrats sought a new way to stomp them back down. This was where the welfare state and lifetime dependency came into play.
As an added bonus, LBJ's FBI assassinated the only true leader black America ever had. They are still leaderless to this day.
Yet blacks have been blindly loyal to the Democrat party ever since, forgetting which party broke their chains.
Remember LBJ's famous non-public quote at the time? "We'll have those ni**ers voting Democrat for the next hundred years!".
Sixty years on, it would appear that he was quite prescient.
This was the beginning of the Democrat Plantation. Keep the black man down not by chaining him (as Democrats did a century earlier), instead lock him into a lifetime of dependency on government handouts. Which only the Democrat party will provide.
Game. Set. Match.
The women could not have a man in the house or lose the money. That was the caveat. That is what tore the black family apart.
Is there another demographic in the country that would have been affected by a few hundred dollars a month to abandon the family other than black men? Could you imagine Asian men turning their backs on their families for $360 dollars a month? How about White men, or Hispanic men? What is it about the black man that thinks this is OK? Approaching 80% fatherless homes? I certainly wouldn't blame the government.
Theres lotsa African nurses in US now...my wife works with em.
They report tht African men are very PRIDEful, chauvinist, and lazy...so it seems like cultural history.
So do right wingers do anything to educate them or raise their lot in life?
Yep, we give them a chance at success by not coddling them, by not lying to them, by not pretending they are entitled to success because they are black.
THE LIBERAL TEACHING TO BLACKS THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS BEING HELD BACK BY DISCRIMINATION, THAT is so DAMN DAMAGING TO THEIR PSYCHE, .....they walk around every day thinking there is a DISCRIMINATION link to every bad thing that happens to them.
RIght minded conservatives dont play that GAME with them. Leftist liberals have BADLY damaged the black community...and it continues.
We've wasted 3 trillion dollars since 1964 to fix this problem, and it's only gotten worse.
No more than we do for anyone else. Why? Do they need more help than others for some reason?
Responding to texyz who says left wingers "do nothing to hold black men accountable, nothing to educate them or raise their lot in life. SMH."
how about the poor woman who was set on fire??
Forever, because those solutions are all eventually watered down by apologists or the resources to achieve them are overwhelmed.
Defend yourself with lethal force when you know you're in danger and take your chances with the justice system.
You could hardly do worse.
More evidence for the idea that "America does not have a race problem--it has a problem race."
Get out, don’t think about it. With the incoming communist Mayor soon to flip all remaining switches it will ( hard to believe) only get worse. Get out.
The LA Times use to have a feature called "The Face of Crime" and every week, during the late 1980's, early 1990s, readers would find a whole page dedicated to mini mugshots of who was committing violent felonies in the community. Every week, a sprinkle of white, maybe one Asian mugshot and the other 90 something % black and Latino men. This was when the LA Times was balanced, reason based journalism.
Well said, Kurt. Anyone who chooses to live in such conditions truly needs to have their head examined.
Move to the South or the Mountain West, but not Colorado.
“The story here isn’t to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous.”
Sasha, you could not possibly really believe that at your age and with awareness of real life. Except for 4 years in the Marines, ‘68 to ‘72, I’ve lived in Chicago all my life and all my life I’ve seen that blacks in general are bad news. After the Marines I started working (CNC machinery) in Chicago factories. More and more of the people were immigrants from all over the world. Excellent people with traditional values. All of them were appalled by black behavior and felt it was blacks, not whites, who very much needed to change. Never will you read about that in our Woke leftist msm.
Anyone who doubts that blacks in Chicago are the overwhelming perpetrators of the out of control crime here should follow the Chicago crime blog CWBChicago and look at the daily pictures of those committing the crime.

An anthropologist friend of mine has told me that multiple studies have shown that the urban black community is overwhelmingly the most violent group in America dating back to the Johnson so-called War on Poverty which tied black families to dependency on the federal government and broke up families by “eliminating” fathers.
Don't forget the degradation of the education system. My father was in high school during WWII. All students were required to take algebra, calculus, chemistry, physics, French, and Latin. I had some university students that could not write a coherent paragraph. Also, during Covid, we were told we could not fail the minority students. So they pass on to the next level and fail out in two or three semester, now $10,000 or more in debt. The system keeps taking advantage of people.
I worked for the federal government. I had a very nice black co-worker who was a graduate of the D.C. public school system ask me if Philadelphia was near Pennsylvania.
My heart goes out to these young people, it is not their fault. Most are victims of a poorly run educational system.
As boys grow too strong to be restrained by mothers, the socialization ends for many.
And sometimes the mothers are on drugs, with their boyfriends, or working. So absent during critical hours for these juveniles.
To me, something began to change for the worst after the release of the movie "Colors", when the entertainment industry seemed to realize how much money could be made from the glorification of violent urban culture. "Boyz in the 'Hood" in 1991 locked in that niche, and it'$ been EZ money ever since.
I saw "Boyz in the 'Hood" a long time ago and thought it was pretty good. It didn't strike me as glorifying violent urban culture.
Certainly not in the manner of, say, a Dr Dre or Ice Cube music video of the era, but the audience reactions to the "action scenes", whether intended to be solely part of a cautionary tale, did not "hit" in the culture as such.
Ofc it did. Singleton has stated he wanted to highlight the violence of Compton/Torrance to bring 'awareness' to the hood. 'Either they don't know, or they don't care...' is the thematic thrust of the film. Ofc, NONE of that bullshit addresses any agency, much less accountability nor responsibility. The fatigue is real.
One of the problems I see is that much of the judicial services are peopled by blacks who are brain washed by the notion of racial self-protection; “these are my people, they have been oppressed, and I will not further their burden with a punishment.”
I would love to see some research into how many actual black criminals exist. What percentage of the people are repeatedly committing the crimes.
The stigma for the black innocents is immense.
Read commentary from Heather Mac Donald. She's been exploring the shocking messaging on George Floyd, BLM, "defund the police", systemic racism and black/white crime statistics for quite while a now. The "inconvenient truth" on crime that has been denied by Ds for the last twenty years is coming home to roost.
“Figures from President Biden on down are telling blacks, nonstop, that they are under lethal threat from whites, and that it is white supremacists, not black criminals, who pose the greatest threat to their safety. “Buffalo attack ignites safety worries for Black Angelenos,” reads a headline in the May 22 Los Angeles Times. New York representative Jerrold Nadler, a sponsor of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, says, “Democrats are taking the fight straight to the . . . violent extremists that are terrorizing minority institutions.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of black Americans were very or somewhat worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race. A respondent interviewed by the Post says that he is “apprehensive at stoplights, imagining a White man getting out and shooting him in his car.”
“Using Tragedy for Racial Propaganda.”
After the horror in Buffalo, President Biden and others peddle an entirely false charge: that whites are the biggest source of hate crime and interracial violence in the US.

Meanwhile, actual black Americans, not 'respondents', KNOW its much more likely another black American will shoot and kill them.
Not 'blacks' in the judiciary and prosecutors' offices, but 'progressives'. Some happen to be black, many are white. Liberal YTs started this crap, and lovingly maintain it, after all.

the concept of jury nullification takes it one step futher and this has been a problem in major cities for decades. There is a racial element to it.
And it's the same perps over and over. Heyjackass.com is another source that compiles statistics on violent crime. Both are sobering.
In grad school, I had some friends from Romania.
The wife, when she had been in the country barely six months, on more than one occasion said, "if you want something done, find a WHITE MALE"
I saw a post on X that said why can a bartender get arrested as accessory to murder for letting a drunk drive home who then gets into an accident and kills someone, but not a judge or prosecutor who release a violent 13 time felon who is mentally ill who then goes on to kill someone.
Bottom line, there was no way in this day and age that this killer was going to be in jail. The mayor appears to not even want him incarcerated now! The Dem party uses “the narrative” of oppression and racism for their own power (and in some cases like Kendi, enrichment). To admit the truth is to risk giving up power and they will not do that. Besides, sure some Ukrainian girl dies, but it wasn’t the mayor’s kid, nor one of her donor’s kids, nor one of the judges who kept letting this guy out.
White or black or purple or green, violent mentally ill homeless criminals should be kept away from us, and treated or incarcerated or both. Unfortunately the people in charge of dark blue cities and states will never allow that for what they perceive is “oppressed classes” (black, Latino, trans…) no matter who it hurts. Power.
Just wait to see what happens when Mamdani takes over NYC …
Black leadership condones violence. How did we get to the point where most of our large cities with the most violence have black mayors?
White flight.
Ironically, Brandon Johnson's highest vote margins were in the wards with the worst crime problems. Either that was a plea for help or an endorsement of more crime.
Blind racial solidarity is a hallmark of black culture in America.
Maybe. And idiot leftists
Welcome to hell. The cartel gangsters will have armed squads and none of them will be arrested and put in Rykers Island. When Trump sends in the National Guards and or the Army Rangers there will be blood in the streets. Mamdani will openly invite in Hamas and Al Queda fighters. The idiot Governor will support Hamas.
And did anyone catch the story out of Alabama? Retired professor of veterinary medicine walking her dog murdered in the park. Usual suspect.
I'm wondering why that story didn't get more attention in connection with this one. The details are just as appalling but I guess it wasn't caught on video.
I read about both stories in MSM so I don't know why everyone is claiming they weren't covered
Oh please...this is beyond absurd, and you know it.

didn't hear a word
How sad -- only in the US for a year or two yet she was already parroting that "Black Lives Matter" and "I Can't Breathe" nonsense.
Try wearing an "All Lives Matter" t-shirt, around a "No Kings Protests". That energy would be a factor in climate change.
What pisses me off is that NOBODY curb stomped that motherfucker while blood was still dripping!
My powerlifter son was 'knockout gamed' in Fargo three years ago by a black vagrant with 22 priors... His name was Reginald Cooper. 22 prior assaults and felonies, one with a gun which should have meant serious jailtime.
Not including you, Sasha - YOU LEFTIES OWN THIS for decriminalizing these assholes.
The problem with your solution is the "Daniel Penney" situation - look at what Mr. Penney faced when he did act, which contributed mightily to what by-standers did - if they'd tried to stop this perp would the Charlotte authorities have charged them with some crime for "harming" this perp? The system is stacked against the (white) Good Samaritans these days with the trial lawyers and the Dem Party officials in government, e.g., judges, AGs, mayors, city council officials, etc., going after those who try to help, particularly if they are a different ethnic group, etc.
Yes, there is indeed "systemic racism" in the criminal justice system--but what they don't tell you is that this racism is aimed at white people.
Look at Bernie Gaetz, he pulled out a gun and shot the perps on the subway train. He was prosecuted for defending himself. Why would anyone live in NYC? People should have concealed carry in big cities. It should be totally legal in all 50 states. A small woman with a gun in her purse could defend herself against one of these monsters. Get tactical training. And a pink camo 380 Sig Sauer semi auto.
I hear ya, but we are past that time now. Lawfare be damned; I will not waste a minute to save an innocent life.
The criminal justice system has failed miserably. The guy had more than a dozen priors, his own family wanted him put away. Cashless bail, DEI magistrate, media that condemns protecting yourself, Joyless Reid and others that espouse white hate. Look at the Daniel Penny case. In Canada the police chief when referencing a home invasion says to comply with the criminals. My God, things are fucked up beyond belief. If you don’t protect yourself and your loved ones no one will.
A citizen with a pistol might have mattered in that scenario though you never know whether, as an intervenor, you'll find yourself in the dock bankrupted by legal defense costs for an heroic act.
Yeah, where is Paul Kersey when you need him...
I miss Charles Bronson too.
Yep, but I don't care anymore.
Easy to say...
“The story here isn’t to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous.”
Why isn't it? When is statistically proven observable reality going to overcome the fantasy of cultural equivalence, and how many more victims have to pay the price of this protracted game of pretend?
I remember watching the bit of hype that was "Asian hate" up until videos of black men attacking Asian women on the street debunked the intended message of "white men are evil, racist murderers". And just like that, no more "Asian hate".
The "better woke than safe" belief will destroy our country. Liberalism costs lives.
Leftists are executing their Cloward-Piven strategy from the 1960’s Columbia University professors. Overwhelming the welfare system with illegal aliens. Overwhelming the criminal justice system and emptying the jails and prisons. Creating chaos and anarchy. Get ready folks for what may be next. Arm yourself and get tactical training . The illegal aliens and violent criminals are the Brown Shirts that the Nazis used in the 1930’s to create change. Kristalnacht in NYC will happen again in NYC when the muslim communist Momdani is put into power. Get ready. Our loving Jewish neighbors should move out of NYC to the middle of our country or to the south to escape what is coming soon.
Sasha, here’s some advice you should give your daughter to help her navigate life in our fallen world which is permeated with evil although also permeated with beautiful things so it’s not like it’s all bad. Tell her all things in life are a matter of odds and her odds of staying safe will be significantly better if she avoids blacks. That’s not being fair to decent blacks who are good people but the reality is that our fallen world is far from fair. Better to put Truth, objective reality, ahead of Goodness, feeling that we should always be fair. If the young Ukrainian woman had been guided by Truth rather than Goodness she’d still be alive.
You are a special guy, Seva. Wish we lived somewhere near each other so I could meet you in person.
I always thought the idea of the NAACP was ludicrous.
They as,a people, will never be advanced until they are more afraid to be left alone in a room with either their mother or their NAACP-appointed attorney than they are being left alone with the police
Maybe this one, is the one that creates the will to put away 'political correctness' get back to a civil society. Otherwise, we just continue to devolve into dystopia. Animals like the guy that did this need to be separated from the rest of us that are trying to preserve a lawful civilization. Plain and simple. He gave up his rights to be among us. 13 priors was a little clue, eh?
So how can all this be allowed? Who has infiltrated our society and how and who funds it? Follow the money, as it always leads to the answer. It is not organic--it is money-driven. Just like these 'protesters'...
Defend yourself with lethal force at the first sign of danger and take your chances with the justice system.
You can hardly do worse.
i just read how wikipedia id trying desperately to memory hole or change the context of this horrific story
Great comment; I just shared it on X with Sasha's article/vlog.
Ignoring the truth has to stop. If the truth can't be acknowledged, the actual causes of these horrific outcomes can't be addressed. 1) The Soros DA's are intent on destabilizing the country by allowing criminals to run free and cause havoc. 2) Allowing, and in many cases encouraging rampant drug use, destroys countless lives (read Alex Barenson's thoughts on marijuana). 3) Not addressing mental illness through institutional means is a huge problem (ironically, it was Reagan who made the huge mistake to close down all of the state run mental health facilities in the 80's). 4) The destruction of the nuclear family through social assistance programs has led to fatherless boys without a moral compass running wild. 5) The democrat, formerly white liberal, now often black liberal run cities who have now controlled the workings of government in ALL of our major cities for decades, have destroyed education, police departments, budgets, general services and have created "Escape from New York/LA" hellscapes for residents and visitors. 6) Mail in voting and non-paper/electronic only voting processes are meant to enable election theft, and have accomplished theft over and over again.
The left WANTS all of this to happen... they want to delegitimize our constitutional republic and replace it with another socialist/communist hell hole. We are in the middle of a civil war that the left has sought and brought about... it's well past time for everyone on the right to understand that fact and to fight the war through the communication of facts and support of policies that address these purposefully destructive actions by the left. THE TWO THINGS EACH OF US CAN DO TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE AT THE MOMENT ARE 1) TO BE WILLING TO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PROBLEMS, AND 2) MAKE SURE VOTING PROCESSES DON'T ALLOW FOR CHEATING.
Uh, actually, deinstitutionalization of the severely mentally ill began during the JFK administration.
You post ignoring the truth has to stop yet the rest of the post isnt truth just political hate.
Your comments prove KW's point - thanks for validating them.
Proved what? This is an echo-chamber similar to MSM. Both are not proving anything besides how loyal they are to hating the other side.
You always skip over why we hate you. You gave us plenty of reasons, and we gave you plenty of chances. You and your fellow travelers have worn out your welcome in every space from comment boards to communities.
Don't be so hard on HL3, Matt, he is exactly the sort of Leftist loon we need to validate our points. He is "the other side"...
How am I a leftist loon or is that what you describe every voting democrat these days?
There's a better "other side" to be had after we drive him and everyone like him into the political wilderness. He's taking up real estate that could be put to better uses anywhere he happens to be standing.
You give no chances besides join us or I hate you.
See? You just passed up another one.
Great response… only all caps weaken your point. Allow your point of view to stand on its own power.
Great post, 'cept I would put your second point first... Stop the steal, if we don't do that, all else is meaningless.
When 6% of the population that is black men commit 50 to 60% of the crime in America and your not concerned for your safety around a black man your a damn Idiot.
Notice that the Democrat governor, who was the attorney general, has a response. He urges taxpayers and his political buddies to "pass his budget" which gives more money to the problems. Problems that will never be fixed because the real goal is to have problems so taxpayers will keep being fleeced for more money. If you solve problems these politicians can't demand more money. This goes for everything right down to potholes in the road. If the roads were fixed, how do you extort the public for more money?
That governor took TWO WEEKS to say anything. He’s a democrat
Apparently he was basically shamed into making a response - his weekend article showed him walking his dog!
Lee is correct. The Democrat Governor was in the "let's hope no one noticed" camp. Only when X broke the story were the Mayor & Governor forced (shamed) to address the issue. Democrats "cancel" anyone who is harmed by their policies. In this case "catch & release" criminals. The Mayor begged news organizations to not report it.
It worked for two weeks. I Ashevilke BC they have a guy with 18 arrests out on the streets, he stabbed someone with a needle last week. That is reported on X by Matt Van Swol who was a Dem but left the "cult" of Dem wokism.
Here is the guy in Asheville story, he has done it again now.....

Our politicians and leaders have been selling us out for a long time. Time for voters to get them the hell out of office. Stop voting for these losers. If we don’t get results, they need to be held accountable.
Or change the laws so the politicians are held accountable for their actions. No immunity.
In the modern era they started with "Only white people can be racist" and "All Lives Matter" is racist. Once they managed to convince the majority of naive white people, especially women and girls, of these 2 things it was open season not just on white people but anyone who appears defenseless. The little old lady with her pay envelope at the bus stop. The kid on a bicycle he saved up to buy.
They want what you have even if it's all you have. You're lucky to escape with your life. They attack in packs frequently; but the truly crazy go it alone because even the rest of the pack knows they're crazy.
People shouldn't have to live like this. But it's reality in Democrat inner cities where academic theories are tested on the least among us.
In truth this has been happening for decades. Those of us left behind after white flight lived it to the Nth degree along with the old lady at the bus stop and the tourist who's car broke down in the wrong place and the guilt laden college student who finds out too late that her Psych professor was lying to them - too late to escape.
We experienced and currently live what it's like in a society that empties out the prisons and mental institutions. You can't conjure up or manufacture utopia. You have to deal with broken human beings by separating them from society. We have to stop letting political and social correctness and misplaced guilt run our society.
Ladies please put your head on a swivel in public and position yourself like the gamblers in the wild west. Never sit with your back to the door or a potential adversary. Your intuition is usually right. Carry a weapon like gel pepper spray or a handful of salt. You are 110 lb rag dolls. Don't engage without a weapon. Don't wander drunk in public. Don't believe a word your professor says on this topic. Please forgive the puntuation and spelling mistakes. I don't have time to correct.
Well said, but don't forget, in addition to our own prisons and mental institutions being emptied into society, American elites have allowed/encouraged the prisons and mental institutions of foreign countries (i.e., Venezuela) to be emptied into the US. Sigh.
I wish I could like it a dozen times. So true.
And never get on any form of public transportation in a big city. Pay for the “car” service. NYC and Mogadishu are not safe places for straight white people. Or black families. Especially black families whom are good people.
"The story here isn’t to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous."
Sasha. You are wrong. Your statement is true in a simplistic, contrite, and very naive, "narrative" sort of way that you actively condemn in your article.
The narrative that has been suppressed and repackaged is at the core of the white guilt, race hustle, SJW premise. The basis of the theory of "we can't arrest ourselves out of this problem" as the mayor of Charlotte stated to excuse the fact that the murderer had been arrested 13 times prior. Because if she did, she would have a much higher percentage of black men (mostly, as black women have their own proclivities) in prison, and that is anathema to progressive politicians.
The truth, as opposed to the narrative is that 13% of the population commits ~60% of all violent crime. And that truth will not be admitted because it will open a can of worms that the left will not discuss. Instead, the left will go back to "black lives matter," "systemic racism," excusing bad behavior and encouraging victimhood on steroids. That can of worms goes back 60 years to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The promoting of single mothers, multiple baby daddies, the destruction of the black, Christian family unit that was thriving up until the 60's when the race hustle really began. Without that hustle, scum Al Sharpton wouldn't have a job. Nor, most Democrat politicians.
That, unfortunately is the hard truth "narrative" that needs to be force fed to the masses. Otherwise, nothing will change. And along with that, the truth that most of the violence caused by blacks is inflicted on blacks. There are many law abiding, hard working, frustrated blacks who see this (God bless them), but are generally decried as Uncle Toms, or now more fashionably, MAGAs.
