Troy Smocks was released from the DC jail last month after being held in solitary confinement for a full year for the remarks he made about his peaceful participation in the January 6th Capitol protest in its aftermath on the internet. From the inside of the DC jail, Smocks wrote about his experience being housed in close quarters for twelve months with those who the corporate media and Department of Justice call “Violent White Supremacists”, and about being labeled one himself despite all contrary evidence that he is, in fact, a freedom-loving Black American (who lived among freedom-loving Americans of assorted color and creed).
Yet Black History month has given the left a new opportunity to call upon White Privilege and the threat of white violent extremism (“Professor: Educators should teach January 6 was a ‘case study in white privilege’” https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-educators-should-teach-january-6-was-a-case-study-in-white-privilege/ AND “Race guru Kendi: Jan. 6 not a ‘national emergency’ only because white people were involved” https://www.thecollegefix.com/race-guru-kendi-jan-6-not-a-national-emergency-only-because-white-people-were-involved/] despite all contrary evidence, including charging, sentencing, and even police-killing that arose from that day.
