From American Thinker:
Michelle’s (Ms. Obama) argument rests on the claim that 93% of the Black Lives Matter protests across American were peaceful. Playing this numbers game ignores that not all protests are created equal.
It doesn’t matter that a march in Marin County or Cape Cod was polite. What matters is that the 7% of violent protests (with blacks and whites participating with equal enthusiasm) resulted in $2 billion in losses from looting, vandalism, and arson. And that doesn’t even count the lives lost.
What matters is that the black community in Minneapolis may never recover. (South Los Angeles still hasn’t recovered from capital flight following the 1992 Rodney King riots.) It matters that Chicago has a $1.2-billion budget deficit from lockdowns and looting. And tiny Kenosha saw its business district reduced to smoldering ruins in a matter of days. Lastly, Michelle’s misleading statistic ignores the many lives lost during the rioting.
There’s a reason Michelle is telling lies to attack Trump as a racist. The Blexit movement, led by rising stars like Brandon Tatum, Candace Owens, and stalwart conservatives like Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell, is breaking through to blacks. As of October 1, 15% of blacks supported Trump (as did 36.5% of Hispanics).
Why would Michelle Obama run a 24-minute ad lecturing Americans how BLM is peaceful and anyone who criticizes rioting is racist?
Why is she playing the race card?
Why does anyone play the race card? It’s the only card she has and it’s a sign of desperation. Internal polls show Biden is losing support among blacks and Hispanics (hence the inclusion of “brown” people).
Do Hispanics like being called “brown?” Do Hispanics like to be clumped with “black” people in a show of solidarity?
The brown-person comment tells me that Hispanics are larger than the black community (18% vs 13% of the population) and are supporting Trump enthusiastically. Michelle is also trying to cover up divisions and tensions between black and non-black, in this case, Hispanics.
Why is Michelle campaigning for sleepy, creepy Joe? Why not Kamala? Why not Jill? Why not Barry himself?
Why 24 minutes? Who is going to listen to a 24-minute lecture that is dull, repetitive, and trite? Her senior thesis was bad enough. Christopher Hitchens said Michelle Obama’s senior thesis at Princeton was “not poorly written. That would be an understatement. Her essay was unreadable.”
Let’s compare the 93% peaceful number to COVID death rates:
For all age groups under 70, the case survival rate is over 99.7%. In operations research, that is better than six sigma.
For ages over 70, the case survival rate is over 94%.
Whether it’s 94 or 99, the COVID survival rate is greater than the 93% “peaceful riot” figure that BLM supporters cite.
However, 93% means peace and no reason to overreact, according to Michelle Obama and other people who hate America.
Yet 94% or 99% survive rate is a reason to panic and lock-down and for mask propaganda.
