The two most widely disseminated myths about America in the twenty-first century are that our society is "systematically racist" and dominated by "white supremacists". Both of these myths have been intentionally propagated by left-wing ideologues since the 1960s. These myths are the starting point of most of their societal analysis and the bedrock of their proposals for social advancement. Any disagreement or investigation into their claims are met with a barrage of hostile counter-attacks ending with their greatest epithet of labelling someone a racist.
"Systemic racism"is one of those tendentious, left-wing, word choices used to confuse rather than enlighten a frightened public whose minds are still reeling from urban riots and burning cities. Instead of proving large-scale intentional racist behavior, it is far easier to engage in a categorical condemnation of an entire people, its history and its culture. By using this technique the leftist gains the upper-hand in two ways: first it is almost impossible to disprove a categorical statement and secondly the leftist begins the discussion of social policy from a downward slopping position of authority. If one accept his premise the logical conclusion leads to the acceptance of his social/economic remedies.
The smoke screen of "systemic racism" obscures and quickly smothers any efforts at objective analysis. The Left does not seek intelligent, well-informed discussion of America's problems. For them as Cervantes once said, "Facts are the enemies of truth". The "Guilt Complex" that rules the mind of liberal mainstream media only leaves us with the loudest, most malicious and ill-informed people, simplifying America's problems. CNN is notorious for their 24/7, moral philosophers pandering to left-wing demagogues and reverse-racists like BLM.
What we are witnessing on most liberal news outlets is an echo chamber of white guilt mixed with a reflect action to support unworkable solutions to real problems. One glaring example of this was during the recent riots when Chris Cuomo acting in the role of nightly Socrates, dispensed instant justice and truth saying the rioters and looters were like the patriots who took part in the "Boston Tea Party". Both national and international statistics show a strong correlation between crime , violence and young people who grow-up in single-parent homes where there is the absence of moral guidance and responsible parenting. The super violent "Northern Triangle" of Central America and America's own lower socio-economic inner cities are perfect examples. Back in the 1970s, when the "Democratic Party" still had honest, courageous, intelligent leadership, Daniel Patrick Moynihan sounded the alarm over the destruction of the black family as a result of rising out-of-wedlock childbirths. Since his warning this problem has grown from 25% to 72%. A study by the "Progress Policy Institute" (a liberal think tank) showed that if you removed single-parent families from the crime statistics, the rates of crime for whites and blacks are almost the same. This not just an African-American problem, this is an All-American problem. "Child Trends", which calls itself "... the nation's leading research organization focused... on improving the lives of children...", reported in 2018: "40 percent of births in the United States occur outside of marriage, up from 28 percent in 1990."
