For me the moral inversion here as well as the stolen valor is the desperate dishonest attempt to paint this as any kind of "lynching"—simply and only because the skin colors line up.

To compare the evil form of social control of Jim Crow lynching, which was a grotesque application of vigilante justice based on the worst kinds of hateful bigotry, with what went down on that train is a such inflammatory race baiting that you have to be as crazy as a Port Authority Black Zionist to even entertain it.

(And as a Native NYer let me just say that of course that car was filled with people of all races and ages who were scared shitless and of course no one thought it had anything to do with race except for our bottom-feeding media and the shameless vultures of the White Guilt Industrial Complex, who've never met a tragedy they didn't try to monetize. And, also, pls let me add: Port Authority Black Zionists are nuts!)

But there is a real silver lining here: as the election showed, we're moving toward maybe not a postracial America (we can hope) but one that's at least much more ethnically complex than the old Black v White American color line, meaning that the White Guilt Industrial Complex smells trouble and senses that its decades of grift are nearing an end. In 20 years how many Latinos whose families came here in the past 50 years are gonna weep over the same old racial sob stories?

At this point the racialized "Everything is White Supremacy" Left is starting to look like a cargo cult formed by a lost tribe stranded on a desert island who've made a fundamentalist faith out of the Autobiography of Malcom X. Also, their sweaty stupidity has plainly revealed how desperate they are to preen as White Saviors when the more that people of any color get a whiff of our Social Justice anti-Whiteness warriors, the more they run the other way—black people don't need posers like Dave Zirin or Elizabeth Spiers to save them!

Who/Whom color-coded law and morality is a moral inversion that most people hate and that hopefully is on its last legs.

Is there no legal mechanism to prosecute or at least deprive Alvin Bragg of his office for directly allowing know criminals to go free to terrorize citizens? Can’t he be sued?
