What if all of your income, your sense of self, and entire existence, depended on racism. Well, you would need racism to exist. The problem with it though is that it is like a precious commodity for some. It was real and easy to point to in the early Southern states. It was concrete. Then in the 60s, it was what fueled an entire movement for good. It propelled some in our society to celestial heights, and for good reason. It was true evil.

After years of struggle, it largely doesn’t exist in any form that would be recognizable to the early race warriors. These days there is barely enough there to sustain the industry that was built around it. This is where the race warriors jump in and say that the very utterance of such a thing is racist. But I think that proves the point. If it isn’t really there, it needs to be constructed, or faked.

Systemic racism is a great example of trying to create a market out of nothing. Just like the Climate Exchange of Al Gore fame though, value only exists because of blind belief, or mandates by the state.

Look at the entire Jussie Smollett fiasco. He tried to put together a completely believable scenario built on stereotypes of redneck hicks from some southern state. That was a lot of the problem from the start. It was too cookie cutter. Like a staged play, the audience had to suspend disbelief for it to be convincing. But it was hard to think that a couple of hicks would infiltrate Chicago at 2 in the morning, in freezing temperatures, with supplies, to then carry out an obvious southern hick attack. Not impossible, but pretty suspicious. After the Chicago police started deconstructing the stage that he had put together, it became obvious. It was just another hoax.

Then there was the “eating while black” incident at Smith College in Massachusetts. The student, Oumou Kanoute, a sophomore there, claimed to be targeted because of her skin color while eating in a lounge. It turns out that she real transgression was that she was eating where no student was supposed to be, while happening to be black. Thinking, that this would be a good time to start mining the racist ore, she broadcast the incident. Several people had their lives turned inside out on this fakery.

There are countless other incidents that are completely fabricated or just imagined incidents of racism around the country. The early successes of the race industry have now left the mines mostly empty. That creates a false market full of fakes hoping to dupe the easily convinced. This only further hurts the industry as most people realize that the only gold there is likely fools gold and shun the entire thing.

The right ingredients seemed to be in place for another righteous cause in Atlanta with a shooter that targeted Asian massage parlors. The press was absolutely giddy over the affair. An entire new vein that the race hustlers could descend on and sustain the market a while longer. The Atlanta police were too quick to point out that the motivation of the shooter was a self admitted sex addiction, and not racism. This won’t stop some of the hustlers from trying to sell it as the real thing, but the general populace recognizes the hustle now.
