The Left Claims To Oppose Racism While Spewing It At Black Conservatives

It seems the left is always on the hunt for stories that fit their narrative of America’s prevalent racism, and for perpetrators to punish accordingly.

Just look at what happened when a man with an extensive media following played the victim card by accusing a woman of being racist after he filmed their interaction in a park. Even though the accusations are questionable — she can’t be heard saying the alleged insult in the video — she still lost her job after the man used the bully pulpit of social media to foment outrage and put pressure on her employer.

Her offense, if it happened at all, was minor compared to what leftists do to black conservatives. Yet when leftists – especially white ones and those burrowed in corporate media – all too frequently use either dog-whistle terms or flat-out racist rhetoric about black conservatives, they rarely face backlash, loss of status, or financial ruin.

During the recent campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the top challenger – Larry Elder, a black conservative – was called the “black face of white supremacy” in a Los Angeles Times commentary. This slur was repeated at a rally attended by Newsom. Around the same time, a white woman wearing a gorilla mask hurled an egg at Elder as he campaigned on the streets of Los Angeles.
