How to get away with murder…and much worse.
…Treat them worse than your dogs, feed them garbage, and whip them like cattle, rape their women (and occasionally their men when you need to “break the buck”), and deprive them of all humanity. Erase their faith, their language, their culture, and their entire identity. Even their very names. Do this for 350 years.
Then, after you abolish slavery, among the last nations of the world to do so, and “free” them, start dragging them from trucks, hanging them from trees, and burning them to death in fire. Occasionally massacre entire cities’ populations of them when they get out of line. Do this for 100 years.
Then after depriving them of humanity, dignity, and any semblance of education under 350 years of slavery and 100 years of racial oppression, they will get unruly. So then you incarcerate them en masse disproportionately from your own race who get much lighter sentences when prosecuted for the same crimes. Do this until they, who are 10% of your population, make up nearly half of your prison population. Then demonize them as inherently criminal and barbaric and constantly refer to their crimes upon their own race using skewed statistics in order to portray THEM as the problem.
If at any point during any of the aforementioned circumstances they demand their rights, remain consistent in your response: Kill them. But be sure that it’s death by cop, and if not, then “stand your ground laws” should keep you safe. Just say he was big, mean, and scary…you know, how all of them are.
But be sure to let a few of them get rich by singing, dancing, throwing a ball, or performing in numerous other ways to entertain you so that you feel like you’ve been fair and you can boast that you’ve given them opportunity and a chance at a good life.
Do this, and to get away with it, you just have to be America.
