Liberals’ dangerous race rhetoric, the volume of which has increased as the Democrats try to gin up the black vote ahead of the election, is leading to chaos, violence, and even death.

One person was shot and at least one police officer was injured on Wednesday night during the second night of sometimes violent protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, following the deadly police shooting of a black man, Keith Lamont Scott.

Clinton, on the other hand, chose to fan the flames of the cops-are-racist narrative.

Police say Scott was armed and refused to lower his weapon after repeated warnings, while Scott’s family members maintain he was simply reading a book. Police said no book was found at the scene, and despite the fact that both the officer who shot Scott and the city’s police chief are black, protesters are claiming racism.

“It’s time for the voiceless majority to stand up and be heard,” said Police Chief Kerr Putney. “It’s time to change the narrative because I can tell you from the facts that the story’s a little bit different as to how it’s been portrayed so far, especially through social media.”

This is a pattern that is becoming all too familiar. A police officer shoots a black man in the line of duty, liberal politicians and members of the black community immediately assume the shooting was unjust, make snap statements to that effect, and members of the black community riot.

Despite Putney’s pleas, it’s unlikely that the narrative surrounding Scott’s death will change anytime soon, for it is part of a wider narrative that has been pushed by the Left and has lately come to be wholly embraced by the Democratic Party.

It is the myth of systemic racism in America — the myth that law enforcement and the courts are inherently racist and white people inherently privileged. It is a myth that became official Democratic Party dogma when President Obama sent White House officials to the funeral of Michael Brown.

It is also a myth that has becoming a feature of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Donald Trump’s response to the first night of rioting was to tweet Wednesday morning, “hopefully the violence & unrest in Charlotte will come to an immediate end.” He also tweeted “to those injured, get well soon. We need unity & leadership.”

Clinton, on the other hand, chose to fan the flames of the cops-are-racist narrative. “Keith Lamont Scott. Terence Crutcher. Too many others. This has got to end,” she tweeted.

But the facts do not support the rhetoric from Clinton or Black Lives Matter. There are police shootings that are unjustified and that must be stopped, but police shootings of unarmed, innocent black Americans are in truth exceedingly rare, and studies have shown that police are more likely to use deadly force on a white suspect.

Moreover, it’s hard to take seriously the cry that “black lives matter” when those who scream it loudest stand silently in the face of the staggering number of African-Americans killed by others in their own communities every day. African-Americans account for roughly 13 percent of the population, yet they are responsible for nearly 50 percent of the country’s murders — most of the time those victims are other black Americans.

But these inconvenient truths haven’t stopped Clinton from eagerly endorsing the racist America myth on the campaign trail. On “The Steve Harvey Morning Show” Tuesday, Clinton volunteered to speak to white Americans on behalf of the black community.

“Maybe I can, by speaking directly to white people, say, ‘Look, this is not who we are.’ We have to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias,” she said.

In August, NBC ran a story with the headline, “Clinton and Kaine are Challenging White America on Racial Issues,” while The Washington Times noted in July, “Hillary Clinton lecturing on white privilege.”

“We white Americans need to do a better job of listening when African-Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face every day,” Clinton said at the NAACP’s annual convention.

Black voters showed up to vote in record numbers in both 2008 and 2012 to support President Obama. Democrats have been terrified there is no compelling reason for that demographic to feel the same enthusiasm for Clinton — barring the exaggeration of some deep injustice she could fix.

Clinton and others’ cynical promotion of these mythical unseen barriers in an effort to mobilize black votes is leaving very real, very visible bodies in its wake.
