We owe it to every victim, in every community, to stop pretending reality doesn’t exist. Truth isn’t racist. Statistics aren’t bigoted.
A woman named Holly from Cincinnati was recently knocked unconscious by a sucker punch at a jazz festival. The attack was caught on video. I had the misfortune of watching it. Perhaps you did too. The video went viral
And for once, maybe the first time in decades, a white victim of black violence spoke honestly about what happened to her. She called it racially motivated. She didn’t apologize for existing. She didn’t beg people not to notice patterns. This represents a seismic shift in American discourse. For 60 years, we’ve been trapped in a suffocating ritual where white victims must immediately genuflect before the altar of racial sensitivity, even as they’re being wheeled into ambulances. They apologize for their attackers. They beg the media not to mention race. They perform elaborate acts of contrition for crimes committed against them.
