Fake murders are penalized under our civil rights system, while real murders are disregarded.
“Yeah, hit his -ss,” exclaimed a black teenager with excitement as his friend deliberately ran over a cyclist in a viral video that has been circulating recently.
“Ready?” asked the teenager behind the wheel of a reportedly stolen car as he prepared to strike the cyclist, Andreas Probst, a retired 64-year-old police chief.
A retired police chief, enjoying a morning bike ride, tragically lost his life at the hands of a young nonwhite teenager. Surprisingly, the mainstream media remains silent. There are no protests outside the perpetrator’s residence, no social media campaigns demanding justice. Despite his significant contributions to society, Fortune 500 companies will not acknowledge Andreas Probst’s legacy.
After watching the video, it is evident to anyone with a functioning brain that the hit-and-run was intentional. Fortunately, local law enforcement agrees. The 17-year-old driver, whose name has not been released, is expected to face upgraded charges to include open murder, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
However, the chances of an anti-social homicidal maniac like this teenager being held accountable for his actions are slim. This is just one aspect of the larger issue at hand.
In May 2020, a video emerged showing a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeling on the back of a large black man, George Floyd, who had allegedly used a counterfeit bill. Floyd’s erratic behavior prior to the incident led to Chauvin restraining him to prevent harm. Tragically, Floyd died while being restrained. It was later revealed that he had a “fatal level” of fentanyl in his system, but this information was largely ignored. The video only showed a black man pleading for his life, and it sparked widespread chaos and protests fueled by pent-up frustrations from the pandemic.
The lack of context in the widely circulated video distorted the incident, portraying it as an act of racial injustice. The media, corporate America, academia, and the political class embraced this narrative, attributing Floyd’s death to white supremacy and systemic racism. The ensuing riots caused significant damage and led to a cultural shift where racial grievance and intersectional hierarchy took precedence over truth and natural law.
While Floyd’s death had a profound impact on the nation, the tragic murder of Andreas Probst will likely be forgotten. The deafening silence from the media and the government is a direct result of the civil rights regime, which perpetuates the dehumanization of certain groups and overlooks the malicious actions of others.
The Civil Rights Regime
The civil rights regime has warped the legal system through affirmative action and disparate impact laws, creating new social hierarchies. Various identity groups seek representation within this coalition, aiming to benefit from the spoils and gain social capital. However, those who challenge the premise of these new hierarchies or benefited from the old ones are excluded.
When left-wing ideological groups stage ”insurrections,” the media often downplays the events. The chaos during the summer of 2020, fueled by the civil rights regime‘s interests, was allowed to continue. However, when the events of January 6 challenged the new hierarchy, the participants were condemned and must never be allowed to resurface.
What began as an effort to correct historical wrongs has turned into a spoils system and a culture of victimhood. Certain groups are insulated and empowered at the expense of others, perpetuating a tangible cultural hierarchy backed by the U.S. government.
As Ibram X. Kendi, a prominent figure on the left, asserts, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” This perpetuates an “aristocracy of favored groups” based on victimhood rather than merit.

What role does the prevailing narrative on systemic racism play in the differing responses to incidents involving different races?
R facts and logic.
Fast forward to September 2023, and we have a stark contrast in the media portrayal of another incident involving race and violence. A black teenager intentionally runs over a cyclist, causing the death of a retired police chief. Yet, there is no nationwide outrage, no demands for justice, and no calls to address the systemic issues that led to this tragic event.
Why the stark difference in response? Why is one incident seen as a rallying cry for social change and the other largely ignored? The answer lies in the prevailing narrative constructed by the media and those in positions of power.
In the case of George Floyd, the narrative of systemic racism was readily embraced and amplified. The media painted a picture of a black man being unjustly targeted by a white police officer, ignoring the complexities and nuances of the situation. The tragic death of Floyd became a symbol of racial injustice and sparked protests and riots across the country.
However, when it comes to the intentional killing of a white police chief by a black teenager, the narrative does not fit the prevailing narrative of systemic racism. It is not convenient for the media, corporate America, or the political class to acknowledge a crime committed by a nonwhite individual. It challenges the simplistic “oppressor vs. oppressed” narrative that has been carefully constructed.
The consequences of this narrative manipulation are far-reaching. It not only perpetuates a false narrative but also hinders true progress towards equality and justice. By selectively focusing on incidents that fit a particular narrative, we ignore the complexity of the issues at hand. We fail to address the root causes of violence and crime, regardless of the perpetrator’s race.
If we are truly committed to creating a just and equal society, we must be willing to confront uncomfortable truths and challenge the prevailing narratives. We must recognize that individuals of all races are capable of committing heinous acts and that justice should be blind to the color of one’s skin.
The intentional killing of Andreas Probst should serve as a wake-up call. It should remind us that justice does not have a color, and we must be diligent in seeking it for all victims, regardless of their race. Let us not allow the
