‘It’s Racism!’Crying racism is the way you make sense of everything when you already know how to see everything.

Could it be any clearer that the mainstream media actively wants to divide the country and make us hate one another? How else to explain that they are constantly running stories like this at the top of their website front pages?
Outraged! Racism! Remove these officers from the force! Investigation! Apology!
But if you want to believe the headline, don’t watch the video. And if you do watch, be sure to keep the sound up so you can hear how you are supposed to understand it.
What do you see in the video, objectively? Two male teens fighting, and the fight being broken up by two police officers, who handle the chaos in a decisive way that has nothing demonstrable to do with any racial animus and that results in no physical harm, arrests, or charges to either teen.
But CNN is here, of course, to make sure you won’t see the video absent the correct underlying narrative. They want to help you penetrate below what your eyes see to what they think is really going on.
According to the narrator, it’s obvious that the white teen is the aggressor. This is the implied narrative: whites are always looking to violently attack blacks, who are always innocent and defensive victims of that aggression. But the video evidence is more complicated. The white teen points his finger at the black teen, but he does not touch him. The black teen is the one who first initiates physical contact by shoving the white teen’s hand aside. The white teen responds to this by pushing the black teen. The black teen is the first one to throw punches and, in this footage at least, he throws many more punches than the white teen does.
