Following the recent murder of a random Bay Area black woman by a random Bay Area white man, Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway took to social media to demand all white people recognize the “white privilege” that protects them from murder.

“The murder of Nia Wilson- may she rest in the power and peace she was denied here- is unspeakable AND MUST NOT be met with silence. She is not a hash tag; she was a black woman and she was murdered in cold blood by a white man,” she wrote.

“White people- including me, including you- must take into the marrow of our privileged bones the truth that ALL black people fear for their lives DAILY in America and have done so for GENERATIONS. White people DO NOT have equivalence for this fear of violence.”

Dovetailing back to Hathaway, she of course attributes Wilson’s murder to racism. She further appears to believe that white people have never been victimized or murdered, let alone victimized or murdered by blacks specifically. This of course is a glaring lie.

Journalist Jason L. Riley, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and expert on race topics, noted in a piece last year that though “[m]ost violent crimes involve a perpetrator and victim of the same race … when they don’t, incidents of black-on-white crimes far exceed the reverse scenario.”

{snip} What Hathaway spouted on her Instagram page this week was pure hogwash derived not from facts and figures, but rather from the emotionally laden indoctrination she’s received from the left-wing media and elsewhere in identity politics, racial grievance mongering, etc.

In short, what Hathaway [is a] {snip} misinformed idiot. So are the quarter million ignoramuses who liked her deliriously dumb post.
