The Post ran a front page claiming that Dallas was the start of a civil war. Enough with the Fox News faux-narratives.

There’s a conflict in the nation, but it’s not the one the Post wants to fixate on, let alone try to fix.

There’s low information voters who buy the right wing swill and have completely bought the incessant irrational anger and fear against others. Trump’s just the latest and biggest to espouse the position, but it’s GOP doctrine. Xenophobia. Bigotry. Racism. Nativism.

That’s all there.

So, who’s the Other the Post is fixating on? Blacks, immigrants, minorities. In other words, the usual suspects. They want people to think that blacks are about to start a race war, when there’s no evidence of the sort.

There is plenty of evidence that institutional racism continues treating minorities, and blacks in particular as having less rights than everyone else around them.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum and one can speak out against the racial injustices just as surely as they can speak out against the senseless murder of cops (whatever the reason ultimately is asserted).
