Modern Day Moral Crusaders and The Lynch Mob Mentality

By Jeffery McNeil 

I have never been in the camp by calling for Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to resign. Being African American, I was appalled to see a sitting Governor in a photo wearing blackface next to a person dressed up as a Klansmen. However, the Christian in me is not to seek revenge or enact punishment.  I’ve learned ago to forgive racists, not because I believe racism subsided, but  resentments make you just as vicious and ugly as the people you have grown to loathe. I learned it’s not good for my long term sanity to be aggrieved, about things that occurred before I was born. My ancestors died so I can take advantage of the opportunities that are presented not re-litigate Robert E Lee, the Confederacy or things that happened before I was born.  Slavery is America’s original sin and whether on earth or in heaven, those that engaged in evil will be judged by how they treated the less fortunate 

The Left can’t be angry over Gov Northam and his photos because these photos were known for years. The reason Social Justice Warriors want Northam to resign is because they are angered over his imagined white privilege.  It infuriates and enrages the Left because he isn’t virtue signalling or having a flowery display of white guilt or beg the Left for forgiveness. . What equally enrages these crusaders is the masses are not running around hysterically over Ralph Northam's past behavior. 

As with President Trump the Left can’t stomach someone that doesn’t see Trump as the devil that must be destroyed. For in their eyes, they are the purveyors of what good and just. When they become angry and violent they believe it's justified because they believe any behavior they display is because they are noble.  

When you're swept up by the mob, you will not recognize the same Lynch mob that’s looking to burn Governor Northam at the stake, will eventually turn on the mob and lynch anyone that's not swept up in the hysteria or blindly follows them. The Mob follower can’t see If they can cavalierly destroy Ralph Northam, who despite having a racist past has pushed policies that’s been favorable to Progressives, what makes them think these same crusaders who kill off their enemies won’t eventually start killing their loyal followers such as Lenin and Mao done after they threw out the aristocracy and ruling class  

While these crusaders for Social Justice want to purge everyone that’s ever done racist or made inflammatory statements they can’t see their own hypocrisy .It’s a known secret in Democratic circles that no Democratic politician  white or black can expect to win black support unless they kiss the ring of racial instigators such as Al Sharpton,who once referred to the Jews as “Diamond Merchants and started a pogrom against them known as the Crown Heights riots,Jesse Jackson who when he ran for President in 1984 called  New York City, “Hymie Town” which was a racial slur against the Jews and Minister Louis Farrakhan a man who claimed “ Hitler was a great man”  and referred to the Jews as termites. 

For African Americans you can’t escape Leftism, it’s drummed into you that the white man the Devil and all Conservatives are racist. However,with the recent polls showing 60% of African Americans want Governor Northam to remain in office. Which  is proving many African American,women and people of color see right through white Progressives using issues such as what's occurring in Virginia  to deflect that neither party wants to govern or legislate but keep America divided and polarized. 

If Americans are supposed to be morally outraged over racist photos of Governor Northam, 

Then we should be equally outraged over our newest members of Congress who right out the gate attacked Israel and made inflammatory statements against the Jews. If we allow the Moral Crusade to cleanse Congress of all people that have erred in sin. Then we collectively need to purge people, whether they are white supremacist, Radical Leftist or people of color that inject hateful language and divisive to keep people divided and angry at each other. 

If we keep going down this path of allowing  Social Justice crusaders to purge people from office based on actions they have done before becoming elected, how can we as a nation effectively govern if any person from either party will be met with highly partisan investigations, lawsuits, even face jail time for doing nothing more than defeating the opposing Party in power
