Does Race Really Matter to Young People?

The silly, routinely deliberately inaccurate New York Times was found lying face-down in the sandbox yesterday.

Caterin’ today to low-rent readers who believe it is elitist to acknowledge that any English word should end in “g,” the Times looked around the room.  Only peace and quiet. Disgusting. Calm does not sell newspapers. Chaos does. Well-cooked racism is a guaranteed warm spud.

Time to splash racial nonsense across page 1.

They put the headline in the oven until steam clouded the whole kitchen. “To the Young, Authors Find, Racial Issues Matter.”

Oh, daddy, buy a hot headline for me, too.

Dedicated to aggressively stoking racism in recent years, mainly the occasional white-on-black crime since the start of the Obama presidency, the Times limped to the starting line and blew a paper trumpet.

They were fishing for boys and girls of color who want to grow up to be professional victims of “racism.”

Their tale is hooked on a black young woman from Mississippi, Angie Thomas. She recalled that eight years ago when she was in college, a white transit police officer in Oakland shot and killed an unarmed back fellow.

Whoa.

She wrote a fiction story about a black teenager who morphed into a lifetime protestor when a white officer shot her best friend.

As incidences of similar crimes were reported, Angie kept writing, and her book ballooned to 444 pages. It is so close to becoming a best-seller as a children’s book, you can kiss it.

Context seemed less important to Angie than horrification over the widely spaced shootings of blacks by white cops.

By the title, Angie was not aiming at the literary crowd. “The Hate U Give” is destined to outpoll “Gone with the Wind,” and “Returning Home with the Wind.” By Thursday. One hundred thousand copies are in print. Some anticipate that it will be a mandatory volume by the start of the next school term.

Based on a theory a few years ago by global warming robots that the soiled climate would kill one-third of Americans by next month, Angie’s book was created for the “a disproportionate number of blacks are behind bars” crowd.

They ignore the undeniable evidence that a disproportionate number of blacks go sour early, shun school, shun discipline and dive into lives of crime. Take Chicago. Take Baltimore. Cesspools.

The most common explanation:

The deadly black bad guys overwhelmingly come from mom-only homes.
