In this city, the unseen accomplice of violent traitors to my community is leftist 'happy bigotry' placing sentimentality over safety—with predictably tragic results
I've noted with great alarm and greater advocacy how New Orleans powers-that-be grant permits and too few police officers, as part of carte blanche bestowed upon predatory partiers to dominate public roads and spaces all in the name of what I've just coined at this moment, the 'happy bigotry' of sentimentality over safety.
This smiley faced, largely leftist, enabling of dangerous bars, parades and public space takeovers places egotism of a percentage from whom come mass shooters, car jackers and armed robbers over lives of urban community members opposed to such violent treason.
Another part of this happy leftist bigotry is an unspoken conviction that noise, violation of boundaries and brutality are natural for Black people.
Imagine a conservative essentially saying the same thing on air or online???
These leftists feel chaos is such a part of our chromosomes and/or culture that they ignore or arrogantly dismiss dissenters loudly objecting to rolling out the red carpet of official support for venues and 'vibes'-events-that often attract violent criminals.
This is progressives warped notion of 'allyship' as applied to urban event safety.
Not very safe at all.
New Orleans officials would quickly shut down warring White biker clubs or neo Nazis in a millisecond if they exhibited the same amount of disorder and destructive behavior leftists allow urban counterparts to inflict.
In this city, the unseen accomplice of violent traitors to my community is leftist 'happy bigotry' placing sentimentality over safety—with predictably tragic results.
