Opposing racism now means practicing it in the most obnoxious manner possible. The Black Brunch bigots painted every innocent customer as a practitioner of “genocide.” One participant ordered people of color to “STAND in deference and solidarity.” Another accused a black restaurant manager of “internaliz(ing) white supremacy.”
This self-indulgent overreach is a hallmark of modern leftist organizers. During the Bush administration, the illegal-alien activist movement was overrun by reconquistadors burning American flags and chanting La Raza hate slogans as they demanded full amnesty and government benefits. Under President Obama, Occupy Wall Street devolved into a circus of rape tents and defecators.
Post-Ferguson, the social-justice mob has now looted and burned down stores in its own working-class neighborhoods, cheered the execution of white and minority police officers, and alienated its erstwhile allies with destructive temper tantrums. In Portland, left-wing agitators threw a hissy fit at Democratic senator Ron Wyden’s town hall — just as a 100-year-old veteran was being honored for his World War II service.
