I Criticized BLM. Then I Was Fired.

https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/i-criticized-blm-then-i-was-fired?s=r

TL;DR:

Now comes the story of Zac Kriegman, who, until not so long ago, was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters. Kriegman’s crime? Questioning the Black Lives Matter narrative. Kriegman is a person who loves numbers and statistics. As you’ll read below, he didn’t just voice an opinion to his colleagues. He made an argument after having done extensive research. He thought logic would win out. He was wrong.

/r/ModeratePolitics, usually a place with reasonable responses, has a struggle session over this blogpost

The post that got him fired: "BLM Spreads Falsehoods That Have Led to the Murders of Thousands of Black People in the Most Disadvantaged Communities"

Yup you can tell this dude doesn't typically have "transgressive" opinions. The way he writes about his experience makes it sound like he's never been faced by a situation where everyone in the room disagrees with him. I bet 99% of the time he was a lock-step party line Democrat, so he was used to having his opinions generally respected by his peers. Then he noticed some numbers doing something they weren't "supposed" to be doing, did his job as a data scientist and reported his findings, and discovered why nobody who participates in wrongthink is open about it.

black Americans account for 37 percent of those who murder police officers, and 34 percent of the unarmed suspects killed by police. Meanwhile, whites make up 42.7 percent of cop killers and 42 percent of the unarmed suspects shot by police—meaning whites are killed by police at a 7 percent higher rate than blacks

I feel like whenever these guys post these "against the narrative" opinions that get them fired, it's always a guy who was a staunch liberal forever and is now having his "baby's first no-no opinion" experience. It always reads like it's their first time having an opinion challenged like this. I want to have sympathy for em but at the same time they do it to themselves. Nobody ever taught them that the best thing to do with a transgressive opinion is keep it to yourself til you get in a voting booth.

over the last five years there have typically been between 30% and 100% more unarmed whites killed by police than unarmed blacks, with an average across the last five years of 39% more. For instance, in 2020 there were 457 whites shot and killed by police, compared to 243 blacks.

The media has always done poorly on the topics of race. All they do is base their stories on what the masses want to read and believe when it comes to race. This was true back when they referred to descriptions of black men as “negro menace” to how they’ve covered or didn’t cover crimes in minority neighborhoods. Even today they weirdly selectively choose to display the race or remove it based on hurting feelings. The media has been and will always be terrible at reporting issues involving race.

The reason emotional people always win out over rational people is because the rational people are like "Let's talk about this calmly and weigh the evidence" while the emotional people are like "Frick that guy! Let's get him!"

This only changes when rational people stop being such fricking kitties and learn to stir up lynch mobs to kill the hyper-emotional people also. I am all for this, because people who value feelings over facts are disgusting vermin who deserve to die. In fact the reason I started the whole Q anon thing was to give the filthy wokies a taste of their own medicine. They were always getting stirred up and attacking people over imaginary racism, so I wanted to see how they liked it when I stirred up lynch mobs to attack them over imaginary pedophilia. Of course then the Epstein thing came out and it turned out that a lot of them actually are p-dophiles, LOL

Yes, I got tired of being persecuted for my political opinions by woke lynch mobs, so I decided to start up some lynch mobs of my own to persecute them, so they would know exactly what it felt like. I get deep satisfaction from all their hysterical posts about how society is collapsing because now they know exactly how I felt when they were suppressing me from speaking my truth. Let's face it, these woke vermin are evil garbage who have zero empathy for anybody who has different opinions or beliefs as them, and so they don't deserve any empathy in return. They either need to learn how to empathize with people of different belief systems or they need to die.
