My wife called me in to share with me the latest Clickbait on a video she was watching on YouTube. Yes, I sat down and looked at the headline for the Clickbait. Several things became obvious, at least to me. And I think probably they will be obvious to you.
The first thing was that another car had driven itself into a crowd of people killing 10. Tesla should be ashamed of itself. All of these self driving vehicles that are running people down in the headlines. Now I would not have originally noticed this but I’ve seen others pointing this out time and again. The headlines ignore who was driving the car. Small point, I know. They simply say that the car kill people. The logical conclusion is that Elon Musk is guilty. When I say this, I don’t mean the Elon Musk who is an African-American, but the Elon musk who seems to be suffering from white privilege.
The second thing that I can gain from the headline is that the driver of this vehicle, if you will excuse the assumption that it had a driver, was either a native born minority ethnic group, or a foreign-born terrorist. You know this because if the driver was the pastor of a local, all white, Baptist Church, all of those details would’ve been part of the headline.
I don’t really need to watch the video. If it were in print, I wouldn’t need to read the article. I know everything that there is that I will find to be true. Some America hater once again tries to disrupt our society by making people afraid to go out in large groups.
Unfortunately, it seems to be working at times.
Hang in there. Do your shopping. Enjoy your family. Watch your back.
