About ten years ago, Lloyd Marcus stood up as one of the original Tea Party
Patriots. These days, he is a frequent contributor to the American Thinker blog. His most recent column will be of interest to anyone who is trying to find ways to
communicate with younger generations of Americans who have essentially come
through an educational system corrupted with anti-American propaganda. He starts off:
Here is an excerpt from an email
from a misinformed white millennial:
Mr Marcus, as a black man, if you
don't agree in part with Mr. Kaepernick, I feel bad for you. I am white, and
feel that the issues facing the black community in the US from the police,
legal elements, property, education are skewed, and need to be rectified. I am
concerned that someone with your pulpit isn't out there helping out.
I usually receive emails from
progressives who call me an Uncle Tom stupid n***** for loving my country and
not viewing myself as a victim. This well-intentioned young emailer is infected
with anti-Americanism via public education and casual contact with Democrats,
Hollywood, social media, and fake news media. He is a prime candidate for
recruitment into a terrorist hate group like Antifa.
Everything he thinks he knows is
wrong. For example: Blacks are not persecuted by police. Research data confirms
that police are the greatest defenders of black lives. A Harvard study said there is zero evidence
of police racial bias. The greatest threat to black lives are black criminals.
My young emailer believes education
is skewed against blacks. The opposite is true. K-8 white students are
outrageously taught they were born racist and should feel guilty for their “white privilege.” The fact that blacks drop
out of school in epidemic numbers has nothing to do with white America. It has
everything to do with fatherless households and an abandonment of
biblical morality.
Because millennials have a
different news feed than us older folks, my young emailer is probably clueless
about numerous important cultural and political issues. I suspect he does not
know San Francisco is so overrun with homeless people leaving piles of human
excrement on the streets that maps are provided to help tourists avoid
them. Dangerous diseases are
resurfacing.
Marcus covers a lot more ground. You can read the rest here.
