When was the last time protests in America were marred by police violence? 1970, according to Ann Coulter, who asks "Can we restrict wild generalizations about the police to things that have happened in our lifetimes?"

We’ve had Al Sharpton protests in New York City for decades. No protesters shot dead. In fact,

as Ann Coulter points out, talking about the The Era of the Drama Queens (Every Crisis Is a Triumph), she

can’t think of a single protest in the 21st century by black people, or by white people, that police have responded to with violence.

You have to go back to the Democratic National Convention protests of 1968 — and those protesters were white. If we’re including the National Guard, there was Kent State in 1970 — also white protesters. The most recent black protest that was met with police violence was Selma, 1965.

Can we restrict wild generalizations about the police to things that have happened in our lifetimes? If you can produce examples of black people being billy-clubbed merely for protesting, we’d all love to see them. We’re looking for something more recent than 1965.

As it happens, there seems to be a lot of police brutality nowadays, but it occurs abroad, in places like Hong Kong and even in Western democracies like France. But the Chinese communists' far more egregious shenanigans — not to mention the slavery, past as well as present, inherent in their system — matter little to the authors of the 1619 Project, to players and other members of the NBA, and to Black Lives Matter's self-declared Marxist leaders, members of whom have shown "a soft spot" and admiration for foreigners as diverse as Mugabe, Castro, and Stalin.

In that perspective, Ann Coulter goes on to ask

What happened to your vaunted concern for China’s human rights violations -- the Uyghurs, the Falun Gong, Tibet, child labor?

 … China gave us this latest viral disease -- not to be confused with H1N1, Asian flu, SARS and bird flu, also from China --

 … The globalists are making a lot of money selling us crappy products, manufactured in a culturally backward, totalitarian regime with zero quality control and absolutely no interest in the well-being of our country.

From Anti-Americanism in the Age of the Coronavirus, the NBA, and 1619:

woke and superwoke drama queens [like brave brave Sir Colin (Kaepernick)] are heralded for their fight against oppression (when it — allegedly — concerns American deplorables alone), but…

Not only do the brave sportsmen of the NBA who courageously vowed to boycott North Carolina for its "inhumane" transgender bathroom policies refrain from protesting the Chinese flag or the communist anthem, not to mention Chinese repression (regarding the NBA or just in general); they censor their (own) speech, they clamp down on spectators' free speech, expelling them in the process, and they shut down journalists (even MSM reporters).

• The Collapse of the Fourth Estate by Peter Wood: No one has been able to identify a single leader, soldier, or supporter of the Revolution who wanted to protect his right to hold slaves (A declaration that slavery is the founding institution of America and the center of everything important in our history is a ground-breaking claim, of the same type as claims that America condones rape culture, that 9/11 was an inside job, that vaccinations cause autism, that the Moon landing was a hoax, or that ancient astronauts built the pyramids)
