The
denial in both countries is being done by much the same reasons. It is
Cultural Marxism(AKA political correctness). The societies of both
countries are being transformed (i.e. Western Civilization is evil and
exploitive and so must be destroyed and the white people who created it
must be disempowered and dispossessed). Therefore the Leftist ruling
elites in both America and Germany really don’t want to do anything
about the chaos they have caused. But they DO have to pretend to care
about the chaos in order to cool off the mark. Move along folks…nothing
to see here…it’s not what you think…
German officials want the world to know the 1000 African and Arab men who assaulted, robbed, rampaged and raped 100 or more German women had nothing to do with refugees.
And the Germans will not be talking about it any more, thank you, said German Justice Minister Heiko Maas.
“What
happened at the main station in Cologne and other areas on New Year’s
Eve is not acceptable,” Maas pronounced. “It must not happen again and
these perpetrators must be held to account.”
Which is what they said last time -- and the time before that.
“Making this an issue by oversimplifications, and connecting it to the refugee issue is nothing but a misuse of the discussion.”
So
as far as the Germans are concerned, they will not be talking about
whether large groups of Arabs and Africans are targeting German women
for assaults and beatings, sexual and otherwise, before, during, and
after holidays. The Mayor of Cologne issued a “code of conduct” for
German women, suggesting they be more careful lest more refugees
sexually abuse them.
There was no code of conduct issued for the abusers.
The BBC was happy to go along, saying that the attacks were just “boisterous” holiday frivolity.
That
also goes for the 800 cars set on fire in France by the same kind of
groups, whose race, ethnicity and religion shall not be named. Unless of
course you want to provoke the ire of German and French reporters and
public officials -- and Moslem clerics.
The
German and French denial of racial and ethnic violence in the face of
loads of video evidence to the contrary has a familiar American ring to
it, said Colin Flaherty, author of Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry.
“Wishing
away racial and religious violence is an old American tradition,” said
Flaherty, who has documented black mob violence and media denial in
several books. “And the Europeans are picking up that tradition nicely,
with the same kind of effect: Denial only encourages more of the
violence that these reporters and public officials try to ignore.”
Melissa Harris-Perry connected the two kinds
of denial very nicely on her weekend chat fest on MSNBC. She was
talking with author Mona Eltahaway, who had written about being raped
and beaten during the Arab Spring.
Harris-Perry
and a Harvard professor also on the show in 2013 wondered if the author
should have just kept her mouth shut because her story made Moslems
look bad.
Which is also why black people in America do not report violent crime, especially rape, Harris-Perry said.
“I
start with a little bit of trepidation in this conversation,” the host
said, “in part because I know some of the critiques of this. The very
idea that Western press, those that are not from these nations, who are
not Muslim ourselves, who are not part of these traditions can look at
your article and say ‘ahhh, look at how horrible those men, or those
societies, or that religion is.’
“And
that is part of the reason why, for example, we have an under-reporting
of rape and domestic violence in African American communities,”
Harris-Perry continued. “Because we know the violence enacted on black
men by police, so we often don’t call. Right?”
A recent story at mic.com reported that 60 percent of black women are raped before the age of 18 -- with 95 percent not reported.
The
show continued as the MSNBC host brought in Harvard professor Leila
Ahmed, who questioned whether Eltahawy should have written the article
at all. Not because it was false, but because it was true and made
Moslems look bad.
“You
began, Melissa, by noting that some things in the African-American
community are not publicized precisely because of the racism,” said
Ahmed as Harris-Perry nodded in agreement on a split screen.
“Mona,
I appreciate what you do,” continued Ahmed. “But if possible [you
should not] give fuel, fodder to people who simply hate Arabs and
Muslims in this climate of our day.”
Speaking
of climate, has anyone suggested to the racially- and
religiously-neutral rioters that regularly burning 800 cars contributes
to global warming?
Back
to the present: On the same day Arabs and Africans were rampaging and
sexually assaulting their way through several German and French cities
while reporters and public officials looked the other way, the New York
Times published an article about a 1990 murder of the writer’s cousins
-- two white teenagers -- at the hands of a group of black people in St.
Louis.
The writer’s brother was also a victim of the assault, but survived. Twenty five years later, Jeanine Cummins came forth to proclaim that “Murder Isn’t Black or White.”
“For
almost 25 years, I asserted that race had no place in the discussion of
what happened to my family,” Cummins said. “I still don’t want to write
about race. What I mean is I really don’t want to write about race. I’m
terrified of striking the wrong chord, of being vulnerable, of
uncovering shameful ignorance in my psyche. I’m afraid of being
misinterpreted.”
“There
was no reason to believe there were any racial elements to the crime,”
Cummins said -- dismissing the fact that black on white crime, violence
and murder is wildly out of proportion in St. Louis.
And so, everyone should just drop this whole black on white violence thing, demanded Cummins.
“She
should be afraid of what her cowardice is doing to encourage more black
on white murder,” Flaherty said. “Because that is what this coward is
doing by siding with the killers of her cousins.”
Curiously
enough, the killers did not drop the racial angle: They claimed their
arrest, conviction and sentencing were all about white racism. And
despite an enormous amount of DNA and forensic and physical and
eyewitness evidence pointing to their guilt, they did not do a thing.
A
jury found otherwise -- although 25 years later, the lawyers are still
filing appeals. The writer’s cousins are still dead. Though that does
not seem to matter that much anymore.
“I
saw the video of the German Justice Minister telling people they were
not going to misuse the conversation and talk about who was responsible
for the violence on New Year’s Eve,” Flaherty said. “I could not tell
whether I was really watching Sergeant Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes or
Baghdad Bob, or John Lovitz the Liar, or Jeanine Cummins of the New York
Times. Regardless, ignoring racial violence almost seems comical until
we remember how many people are hurt by it. Both in Europe and America.
And that is going to keep happening despite -- or even because of -- the
delicate sensibilities of the German Justice Minister or the New York
Times.”
