When one examines the abundance of ignorance and stupidity it
seems clear that intellectually speaking, they are first cousins. Ignorance suggests
one has not learned anything meaningful regarding life. Stupidity is different.
Stupidity is an inability to process basic information and draw simple
inescapable conclusions. All two-year olds are ignorant, many baby boomers are
stupid and ignorant. Some observers suggest this intellectual plague (ignorance and stupidity), afflicts
those being taught things by public and private educators that are simply not
so.
Ignorance and stupidity bloom like flowers in the springtime
during election seasons. Every two years we see trillions of dollars poured
into absurd advertising by career politicians with vast fundraising power to
influence the ignorant and the stupid. This incredible mass spend of other
people’s money reflects the ultimate effort to control the vast resources and
borrowing power of the federal government. The game is insidious. 24-7 and 365
days a year, incumbents collect a steady flow of tribute (campaign
contributions) from those encouraged to believe their congressmen and congresswomen
have a say in public policies that can either make it harder or easier for
donors to go about their business. This process is so predictable you can set
your watch by what is going to happen as elections approach.
Every two years Democrat politicians, with a huge assist
from buddies in the media, begin to search high and wide for “incidents”
involving white versus black “racism,” as well “incidents” that can be twisted
to appear to involve white versus black racism. The education system, the
entertainment industry, and most of corporate America goes along with the
twists for a variety of reasons. Together these entities actually fan the
racial paranoia fires all over the nation.
Sadly in 2020, there have literally been real fires lit. Billions
of dollars in property destruction, both public property and private property
is currently ruining hundreds of neighborhoods and driving up insurance costs and
transportation costs for everyone.
Democrat politicians seem to be ok with this. The violence
against innocent people, and widespread looting is merely collateral damage
associated with implementing their race-baiting strategy. From the top
to very bottom of the party, elected Democrat officials wink and nod before
adoring news anchors, while pretending a handful of ignorant/stupid cops is the
biggest problem facing Americans.
The sheer power of progressive’s intellectual oppression is
laid bare when a phrase like, “All Lives Matter,” is deemed “racist” by the 21st
Century version of the Inquisition.
Let that think in.
The thought police have decided that the phrase “all lives
matter,” is an ignorant and stupid thing to say that suggests racism. The price
to pay for heresy against the progressive church on this scam is relentless character
assassination including boycotts, loss of jobs, etc.
Make no mistake, the cynical schtick being deployed here is ironic,
because it is the exploitation of stupid and ignorant people using stupidity
and ignorance as a substitute for logic. The Democrat politicians play book is
to stir up enthusiasm for hatred of anyone they accuse of being guilty of
heresy. And in the Democrat primaries, phony people like Kamala Harris do it to phony people
like Joe Biden.
Sadly, there are certainly more than a few ignorant and
stupid people out there that embrace racism. However, this seems irrelevant because
we will NEVER stamp out all ignorance and stupidity. It comes in all forms. Politicians
praying on the ignorant and stupid, who are willing to tolerate criminal
behavior that involves destruction of property, severe injuries including the
death of innocent people, and looting, is itself a criminal act.
Of course, the schtick requires progressives to “pretend”
that most powerful and influential people in society who are white, are
afflicted with the ignorance and stupidity that defines racism. Sorry folks,
this is all nothing more than a big lie. People with power and influence will
see their power evaporate at warp speed, if they make their decisions based on
stupidity and ignorance.
So, what are we left with here? People who embrace the
stupidity and ignorance of racism are as stupid and ignorant as those on
Jay-Walk. And they are most certainly not powerful and influential. Still, we
see the seemingly compelling signs held up at violent protests that demand we
all join together and, “End Racism.” This is dumb. The good news is the "influence" of
racism ended long ago. However, the remnants of racism which are now superficial, will be here 1,000 years from
now.
Fortunately, most racists are ostracized in America. Still despite the fact most of us
are doing the best we can, ending all forms of ignorance and
stupidity is impossible.
Fortunately, America is profoundly tolerant. A good example is how we are "sometimes" way too tolerant of racists. Just Friday night we saw an example when NBA fans watched L.A. Clipper Montrezl Harrell call Luca Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks a “Bitch-Ass White Boy.” This blatant racial slurring incident was caught on film on national television. There was zero outrage.
Some might ask, should all white people be offended because a gross slur was directed towards Doncic? The best answer to this question was offered by the Eagles in 1994, when they recorded their classic hit, “Get Over It.”
We all know there will always be people like Montrezl
Harrell. People who are stupid and ignorant say stupid and ignorant things. There are bigger questions that
are NEVER asked that really should be. The NBA, with teams in America and Canada,
features a pay scale that averages $7.7 million per year. Why are 98% of the NBA
players kneeling for the U.S. national anthem, pretending America is unfair when the majority of NBA players are not white? Is
it because they are very upset that there are still ignorant and stupid people
roaming around? Or is it because Democrat politicians are successfully jerking
their chains and getting them to serve as props?
Montrezl Harrell still makes $6 million per year while being allowed to yell racial slurs that are both stupid and ignorant. A play-by-play announcer was fired for suggesting that all lives matter. Harrell belongs on Jay-Walk. However, there’s just not enough time for everyone who deserves to be exposed to be…..well…..exposed.
The issue here is the reality of stupidity and ignorance. One NBA millionaire hurling racial
slurs at another is not the big issue. Looking the other way on violence, deaths,
property damage, and theft is the big issue. This has nothing to do with the fact there are
stupid and ignorant people out there that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
Everyone should realize there should be some other way for
Democrat politicians to produce a higher voter turnout. Democrats need to find
some idea that does not involve encouraging people to protest stupidity and
ignorance while acting stupid, ignorant, and violent.
Democrat politicians will only stop winking and nodding regarding those who perpetrate violence in the name of BLM when they realize it is hurting their constituents and more important to them, their results in the voting booths.
It is time for voters of all colors to
stop being stupid and ignorant about what we can do about stupidity and
ignorance.
