Black Lives Matter protesters reacted to the acquittal of Daniel Penny with a barrage of threats and promises. One activist leader even went as far as to demand that others be choked and killed in retaliation, shouting, “We need black vigilantes.”
It was not mentioned that a man of color did protect subway passengers shortly after Penny’s arrest. Jordan Williams, released on bail, and eventually having all charges dropped, protected both his girlfriend and other passengers on the train, by stabbing an aggressive man.
The protests continued into the night and became increasingly deranged. One woman, amid shouts of “no peace, no justice”, grabbed the microphone and spoke this.
WOMAN : I attended this trial. I watched white people. I watched all the POCs (people of color) who were not black say that they were afraid of Jordan. The black man, however, testified that Jordan was not a threat.
Stop for a minute. A black man helped Penny subdue Neely. I don’t know his feelings, but I think he would not have helped if he didn’t feel Neely was a threat to the other passengers in the subway car. I would also say that the color of someone’s skin has nothing to do with whether their fears are justified.
WOMAN: So all the white people here, y’all got work to do. stay the **** out of black people’s business
(Whooping and screaming from the audience).
Do anti-blackness campaigns in your neighborhoods. I don’t want your opinion. I don’t need any Marxist bull****. I’m able to read black Marxism on my own. (Inaudible). 275 years before us, in English. Stay out of our * affairs and correct **** in your communities.
This woman is surrounded by white people, who are all there to support and encourage her. Yet she can’t control her racism. They stand there and cheer her on, obediently. This kind of deranged hierarchy is the core of the “social justice” movement. According to the person screaming on that video, individuals aren’t unique people with their personalities, beliefs, and merits.
They are not individuals, but rather part of a group that is either guilty or innocent. In this case, white people are considered guilty even if their goal was to put Daniel Penny in jail because he had protected himself and others. This is a game you can’t win. It’s impossible to be awake enough. To be considered self-righteous, one must have the correct skin tone. This is racism.
WOMAN: So the white people in that jury couldn’t care less about what was said on the stand. Jordan Neely did not approach anyone. Daniel Penny dropped Jordan Neely where he was standing. The witnesses were asked to draw a diagram of where he was dropped. This was just after he got into the train car. I sat there and listened.
You white people have a lot of work to do. You’d better get to work with your parents, your siblings, your professors at college, and your bankers, car lenders, and all of that.
Jordan Neely did approach passengers. He was yelling violent threats at riders and claiming that he didn’t fear death. He wasn’t “dropped…right when he entered the car.” Penny and another passenger subdued him after a few minutes of the confrontation.
These details are irrelevant to this woman. For these “revolutionaries,” cause is not cause. Their ideology is the cause. She doesn’t care about Jordan Neely at all, whether it’s because of the “black Marxism”, or for any other reason.
This woman, BLM, and all other organizations that were against the verdict could have helped Neely while he was still alive. But they didn’t. They only saw him as useful to them in his death, as a way of advancing their ideology. It’s a particularly disgusting thing to do.
