We have a serious problem in our country, and that problem is unnecessary guilt. People carry it around when they have no business doing so because some people who want to take advantage of your remorse in order to exert control over you tell you that you have to carry that weight. 

On Thursday, I talked about Alaina Kunes. She's currently all the media wants to talk about because, as the Leftist complex wants to tell it, she's the smoking gun that right-leaning white people are horrific racists. Did she beat up an innocent black person on a bus? 

Nope. Wasn't her. 

Did she laugh about the murder of an innocent man whose death was celebrated by leftists before attempting to intimidate his colleagues by suggesting they may suffer the same fate? 

No. Wasn't her either. 

Did she participate in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy on Halloween? 

Nope. Wasn't her. 

Did she stab an innocent woman in the neck while riding on a subway? Did she kill three of her own children? 

No, Kunes did none of those things. She simply made monkey noises at a ring camera where black people just happened to live. Kunes said she had made similar gestures at other doors and didn't know that black students lived in this apartment. She maintains that her actions weren't racially motivated. It was just an 18-year-old woman being silly with her friends.

Kunes did nothing wrong. At all... except for one thing. 

She apologized. She accepted the guilt they wanted to hang on her, and because she accepted that guilt, it allowed the enemies of civilization to throw a blanket accusation of racism and bigotry at everyone else, which means little to you or me, but for apolitical normies or people who aren't truly aware of the socio-political game being played at all times, the accusation starts to look legitimate. 

If Kunes had stuck to her guns and told everyone that she wasn't guilty of anything at all, they still would've gnashed their teeth and rent their clothing, but far fewer people would've accepted the premise of racism and, what's more, the left would've learned that they don't have the power to shame and control like they used to. Kunes would've set an example for others to follow who may, one day, wind up in the same situation as her; accused of a social crime she never committed. 

She should've gone to school the next day with a little security to make sure she was safe until all this blew over, and it would've blown over after a week or two. She should've never dropped out. She should've kept living her life as if the problem wasn't hers, but the problem of everyone whose egos are so fragile and the people who want Americans to suffer some sort of idea of original social sin. 

Kunes can at least be a teachable moment for Americans. Do not ever apologize to the mob. Never. They're not interested in the idea of moral normalcy. They want control over you, over society, and over our culture. They want to set the terms for what is and isn't acceptable, and as you can see in the videos above that received more or less zero airtime despite the heinousness of the acts, what is acceptable is your suffering and destruction. 

We don't have to accept that. Push back. Stop apologizing. Don't give these people any more power because they will wield it against you.
