In fact, many of these presumed \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d attackers in New York City aren\u2019t even white.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That includes Brandon Elliot, who allegedly stomped on a 65-year-old Filipina in Midtown in broad daylight on April 5, shouting \u201cyou don\u2019t belong here!\u201d The victim suffered serious injury including a fractured pelvis. Elliot, a black man who lived at a nearby shelter, was on parole from a 15-year-to-life sentence for stabbing his mother to death in 2002.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice\u2019s violent crime statistics show that Asian victims are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bjs.gov\/content\/pub\/pdf\/cv18.pdf\">assaulted more by black perpetrators<\/a> than by any other group, even before the pandemic. This disparity has been evident in the city in recent months:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On February 25, a Chinese man was stabbed from behind on a street near Chinatown in the early evening. The attacker said he didn\u2019t like the way the victim looked at him. The attacker, who turned himself in, had punched an Asian a month earlier and assaulted his own brother prior. The victim is still in a coma, having lost adrenal glands, liver function and one kidney. The alleged attacker, Salman Muflihi, is South Asian.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>On February 26, Young Zhen was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/new-york\/nyc-crime\/ny-stabbing-screwdriver-brooklyn-gambling-den-accomplices-20210302-fdxs5lfl5jcxxnspz5bkiupitq-story.html\">stabbed to death<\/a> in Brooklyn after dinner with his family, when he stepped in to intervene in an assault that, unbeknownst to him, was a robbery in progress. One of the alleged attackers, William Smith, was caught using surveillance footage of the getaway Mercedes Benz. Accomplices are still at large. Smith is black and had earlier served 10 years for murder.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>On March 21, Marc Mathieu allegedly punched and bloodied a Sri Lankan security guard on a subway train near Franklin Street in Manhattan. Mathieu is black and had nine prior arrests.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>That same day, Erick Deoliveira was arrested after allegedly attacking an Asian woman returning from an anti-Asian crime rally near Astor Place. He was released the next day without posting bail. Then, on April 3, he was arrested again for breaking a squad car windshield. Deoliveira is a vagrant who has more than 10 prior arrests. He is black and Hispanic.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>On March 22, Joseph Russo allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roached a Chinese woman without speaking a word and grabbed her by her hair. Two weeks later, he snatched some flowers from an outdoor store display and threw them across the sidewalk. Then he forcefully shoved two elderly Chinese out of his way as he walked on. Two days after that, he was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/crime\/joseph-russo-facing-hate-crime-charges-in-3-anti-asian-attacks-in-brooklyn-nypd-says\/ar-BB1frc1r?ocid=uxbndlbing\">arrested for two attacks<\/a> in Brooklyn. Russo is white and has 14 prior arrests.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>On March 23, Donovan Lawson, who is black and mentally ill with 33 prior arrests, allegedly tried to rob a Chinese couple. When a Chinese bystander tried to intervene, Lawson called him a \u201cchink\u201d and started hitting him. Lawson was arrested after a patrolman came to the scene.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are too many more similar cases to list.

The first tenet is that you must judge people, not as individuals, but by their race only \u2014 i.e., be racist \u2014 so the unlucky Chinese father became \u201cyou guys,\u201d part of a collective racial judgment. The second tenet is that the only relationship between blacks and whites \u2014 and Chinese by extension \u2014 is that of unjust oppression. Oppression justifies retaliation, making it \u201csocially just\u201d to sucker-punch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, CRT\u2019s concept of social justice, as opposed to good old American justice, advocates for equal outcomes by race, as opposed to equal rights for each individual. This belief has directly led to insane, strictly-by-<br \/>racial-outcome \u201creforms\u201d in policing, lawmaking, prosecution, sentencing and parole policies that have dumped openly lawless criminals, some with mental illness and addiction issues, onto the streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"A criminal with nine prior arrests, Marc Mathieu, allegedly punched and bloodied a Sri Lankan security guard on a subway train near Franklin Street in March.\" class=\"wp-image-17854257 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/marc-mathieu.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/marc-mathieu.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/marc-mathieu.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/marc-mathieu.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/marc-mathieu.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A criminal with nine prior arrests, Marc Mathieu, allegedly punched and bloodied a Sri Lankan security guard on a subway train near Franklin Street in March.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">DCPI<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is the height of cynicism to push for even more CRT indoctrination as the solution to the \u201chate\u201d it caused.
