Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last week (or just living in the UK) you know about the sudden earthquake of activity surrounding the Asian Grooming Gangs (Rape Rings) that have been operating in Britain for more than 25 years. Everyone is referring to them as Asian, but that’s a disservice to 47 out of 48 of the countries in Asia because most of these “Asian” rapists are from just one country, Pakistan.
If you’re not familiar with the sordid story, basically for
the last 25 years Pakistani men have been grooming and raping young white
girls. And when I say young, I don’t
mean a 16 year old girl who puts on makeup and is purposely trying to pass
herself off as 18. No, while that
happened, the vast majority of the victims are far younger 11, 13 and sometimes
as young as 5 years old. It's been
recently suggested that the total number of victims over that period is more
than 250,000.
And most of those victims were abused
and raped by multiple men, sometimes dozens
or more.
The fact that this abuse happened is both revolting and
despicable and in a more rational world a punishment meted out by a machine
popularized in 18th century France would be in their future. But of course we don’t’ live in a rational
world.
There is an element of this story that is possibly even more
contemptable than the abuse itself… the
government, the media and the police working together to keep the lid on the
crimes, distract
from who was committing the crimes, manipulating “investigations” and
data to obscure the facts and giving unconscionably
light sentences to perpetrators.
Here are just a few of the anger inducing stories that have
gone on over the last few years:
·
A victim who had been abused for years beginning
when she was five was asked by police if she had “consented”
to the sex at any time.
· Victims, who had gone to the police were sometimes left by officers to be "harassed and intimidated by the men who had previously abused them".
A father went to try and rescue his daughter and was arrested by the police.
·
Tommy Robinson the self made journalist (which
is something of a badge of honor in recent times) was arrested
and jailed for reporting on the rape cases.
And of course over the entire period of this crime spree,
anyone who stood up and spoke out about it was accused of Islamophobia or being
a racist.
All of this has been playing out on the backdrop of a
rapidly evolving nation where British whites have gone from 96% of the
population in 1980 to less
than 74% in less than 40 years. In
major cities the disparity is far greater.
In London, where only
36% of the population are white British, fully 41% of
the population are immigrants. In Birmingham
white Brits make up less than 50% while Pakistanis make up 20%. In Luton, one of
the Grooming Gang hotspots and the home of Tommy Robinson, white Brits make up
just 32% while Pakistanis make up 18%.
And why does any of this demographic data matter? Because it’s at the core of this
travesty. The government (both Tories & Labour) and media have
been twisting
like pretzels trying to sell the country the fiction
of successful multicultural integration. That is, and has been for decades,
an absolute fiction. One needs merely to observe the staggeringly large pro
Hamas demonstrations that took
place across the UK after terrorist group started a war with Israel to recognize
that Britain today is a far cry from the Britain of Maggie Thatcher.
Of course the reason that the issue is getting any significant
traction at all is because the freedom of a (largely) uncensored X has
given Brits the ability to access and share information previously not easily
done. Combined with the voice of Elon Musk and one of the largest megaphones in
the world the issue is just now starting to become a major story in the UK. Indeed, Musk has called
on the King to dissolve Parliament so that Brits can vote on a new
government in the wake of the scandal. I
have little confidence that the climate change cultist King will actually do
so, but there is always a sparkle of hope.
The thing about this travesty is that it largely mirrors one
that has been happening in the United States, albeit in a different form. In
Britain you have a government and the elites actively seeking to distract the
citizens from what’s right in front of them. They’re seeking to pretend there
is no correlation between a demographic and the crimes and most of the
community from which those criminals come aren’t seeking to hold them
accountable but are instead crying racism.
Sound familiar? Here
in the United States the problem isn’t rape, it’s violence and murder. The
criminals aren’t predominantly Pakistani, they’re
black and it isn’t Islamophobia that’s being used to deflect responsibility,
but rather cries of racism. And lastly,
while in Britain most of the victims aren’t from the same demographic as the
criminals, here in America, most are.
In both cases you’d think that those leading the charge
against these crimes would be the far more numerable members of those communities
who are not engaging in the crimes, but that’s not what’s happening. While
there are a few voices calling out from within, the vast majority of the
members of the Pakistani Brits and black Americans do just the opposite. They blame right wing hate and institutional
racism.
That makes no sense. Most
Pakistanis aren’t committing crimes in Britain and most blacks aren’t
committing crimes in America. Given the negative consequences these crimes
bring to their communities, it would make sense for the “leaders” of those
communities to rally the members of said community to identify and hold
accountable the criminals in their midst?
One would think so, but that’s not happening to any significant degree.
While elements of the current firestorm about the rapes
going on in Britain suggest
hope, and here in America the election of Donald Trump does the same, the
reality is, these problems can not be solved externally. Although the
politicians and jurists must be held
accountable for their abetting of the crimes, it won’t be enough. If
Pakistanis in Britain don’t take the lead in identifying and holding
accountable the criminals in their midst, their communities will suffer in the
long run as an even greater divide develops with the larger population.
Similarly, in America if black leaders don’t abandon the victimization grift
and focus their communities on exposing, marginalizing and defeating the
criminal elements within, the long-term consequences will be brutal, from
vanishing economic opportunities to increasing food deserts to continued black
on black blood in the streets.
Whether it’s X’s coverage of the Grooming Gang scandals or
Donald Trump promising to eviscerate DEI in America, hopefully 2025 will be the
beginning of a long overdue return to something resembling sanity.
