Far-right, Racist, Extremist Ninjas

 ... are the only things that can explain this.

Oakland has had 14 homicides since the start of the year — that compares with a single homicide during the same time period last year.

If the homicides continue at the current rate, Oakland is looking at 168 homicides by the end of the year. In 2020 there were 102, and in 2019 there were 75.

The numbers are shocking, but they pale when compared with the number of people wounded.

According to statistics from Oakland’s Highland Hospital trauma unit, which handles most of the gunshot cases in Alameda County and some from Contra Costa County, 50 gunshot cases have been treated there so far this this year — at least one shooting a day.

Highland treated 415 gunshot cases last year and 283 in 2019.

As we all know, ninjas are stealthy, white-adjacent extremists who are trained in death squad camps by the Koch Brothers. They are spiritually nourished by daily, aural ingestations of that Jewish Nazi, Ben Shapiro, and the Blinding Whiteness guru, Tucker Carlson. Ninjas are capable of moving silently, disappearing into the background and spreading Hate™.

That's the only explanation I can muster as to why Systemic Racism appears worst where the far-right is almost completely absent. I mean, what else could it be? Oakland followed the BLM playbook and cut their police budget so that people of color could flourish through criminal justice reform, just like the super smart people in our professional sports leagues tell us to do. 

It looks like just as things were getting better, the Far Right Extremist Ninjas swang into action.

Swang? Swung? Swoonged? Whatever. They're spreading Hate™ and that's all you need to know.

This spells out the logic of the situation perfectly. The woman represents justice, carrying the cross of cruise missiledom, being pushed along by a cis-normative, whiteness-filled cowboy while a fat banker plays the bass drum of Hate™ and a fish flies over his head. The fish represents white supremacy because some fish have white bellies.

Or maybe it's the hat of Hate™ flying over his head and the woman represents Strong Black Women who were arrested by the Cowboy of Intolerance while twerking and pole dancing for Justice while the banker plays a bass drum and the cruise missile is the weight of extremist militarism and she's being forced to attack the Capitol Building.

Anyway, it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Just like the increased Oakland murders are not evidence that the whole systemic racism thing is exploitative lying and the real problem is cultural. Because it's not that. Not at all.
