“I wish my son had been killed by a 60-year-old white man.”
Imagine saying these words as the father of a child who has died.
Covering up racist murders simply because the victims were white.
“I wish I had died instead of my son,” or any other combination of words, would be easier to understand and talk about if it wasn't for this strange obsession with the skin color of the man responsible for his son's death.
But those were the words uttered by Nathan Clark at a press conference on September 10th.
“Look what you've done to us.”
To provide a little background, last August a Haitian man crashed his minivan into a school bus in Springfield, Ohio, killing Nathan's 11-year-old son, Aiden, and injuring dozens of other children.
As Haitian immigration to Springfield became a national issue and shocking stories emerged about pet dogs being captured and slaughtered for food, Nathan Clark wanted to uncover the truth about the circumstances and meaning of his son's death. He did, but perhaps not in the way he had intended.
Here are some excerpts from Nathan Clark's remarks:
I wish my son Aiden Clark had been killed by a 60 year old white man. I don't think anyone would ever think that someone would be so blatant in saying something like that, but if that man had killed my 11 year old son, the hateful mob would leave us alone.
The last thing we need is to be violently and relentlessly confronted with the worst days of our lives.
But that's not enough for them, they go a step further and make it seem as if our wonderful Aiden rejoices in your hatred, and that we should follow theirs too.
And think about what you've done to us. We have to stand here and beg them to stop. Using Aiden as a political tool is reprehensible, to say the least, for any political purpose. And the morally bankrupt politicians I'm talking about are Bernie Moreno, Chip Roy, J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. They've taken my son's name and used his death for political gain.
This needs to stop now. You can spew all the hate you want about illegal immigration, the border crisis, and even false claims that fluffy pets are being ravaged and eaten by local residents, but you are not, and never have been allowed to mention Aiden Clark of Springfield, Ohio.
Grief has a terrible effect on people. We all know that. I don't blame Nathan Clark if his wounds are still wide open and raw, just a year after the tragic death of his son. And who would?
But the content of the statement and its targets — Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, MAGA, “misinformation” and “hatred” — suggest deliberate construction and calculation, and seem less like a fiery condemnation from a father crazed by pain and loss.
It is a completely politicized call for depoliticization.
American Peacemakers
Perhaps this is a glimpse into the depths of the modern liberal soul, the deep recesses where the ideal of absolute equality is rooted. Equality at all costs, even the lives of one's children. Isn't that a commitment? What we are willing to sacrifice reveals the true nature of what is truly most sacred to us. God showed it to Abraham, and Cain learned that lesson the hard way.
Maybe, but when I think about how many people now have white parents or family members (who are always white) who have passed away saying things like this, I think there's more to this story than that.
That “something” is fear and political pressure. Nathan Clark may be a staunch liberal, but he likely received a visit from the Department of Justice's Community Relations Service, who told him exactly what to say and how to say it.
According to Your own websiteCRS serves as “America's peace advocate” for communities facing conflict based on “actual or perceived race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.”
When communities face such conflicts, CRS jumps into action, “providing facilitated dialogue, mediation, training, and consultation” to help communities “come together, develop conflict resolutions, and increase their capacity to independently prevent and resolve future conflicts.” Throughout, CRS aims to be “neutral.”
Burial of Donald Giusti
But what does this bureaucratic jargon actually mean? It means that when a white person is the victim of a serious crime at the hands of a non-white person, the CRS will be on the scene to ensure that the victim and his or her family do not create a fuss or, above all, make inflammatory statements about the role of race in the crime.
That's exactly what happened six years ago when Donald Giusti was hit in the head with a rock and trampled to death by a Somali mob in a park in Lewiston, Maine. The CRS website lists Lewiston as an example of successful intervention. According to CRS, “conflict [had] The city noted that in the weeks before Donald Giusti's murder, “racism had increased” between the immigrant population and the white community, after which the city's police chief convened the CRS “to ease racial tensions and strengthen community relations.”
The very existence of CRS and the documented instances of its activities tell us all we need to know about the deep-rooted anti-white bias in the American government today.
Public statements by the victims' families were essential to the “reconciliation” process. Donald Giusti's uncle was called to the press conference, as was his sister. They both said much the same thing. “I want to see the violence stop,” his uncle said. “I want to see closure. I want people to be able to come to the park and be happy. I want people to walk through the park and not be scared.” His sister said she hoped her brother's death would not be in vain and that “it gives this community an opportunity to speak up and say something needs to change.”
So what happened to the man responsible for the murder? He was allowed to “plead not guilty” to a reduced charge of criminal negligence and was sentenced to just nine months in prison.
So, for CRS and the Department of Justice, “reducing racial tensions and strengthening community relations” means covering up racist murders simply because the victims are white.
I'm not going to say, “Imagine if the positions were reversed,” because I'm past that point, and I'm sure you are too. You know how different it would be if a bunch of Italian-Americans had bashed a Somali over the head in the park.
It's not a “racial issue” at all
Donald Giusti is not alone. Consider the tragic case of Jonathan Lewis, a young boy who was kicked to death by at least eight black boys in an alley behind his school last year.
Lewis was killed because of wireless headphones and e-cigarettes. But instead of calling for justice, expressing outrage, or showing any human reaction, Jonathan Lewis Sr. made a public statement saying race was not a factor in the murder. “This is about humanity, my dear American people. It is not about race!” he wrote on a fundraising page for his son's funeral.
Or look at the case of former police chief Andy Probst, who was deliberately run over and killed by two non-white teenagers who were driving around in a stolen car: Here, again, the same tragic script is read out loud, this time by the victim's daughter, on behalf of the entire family.
We believe Andy's murder is a direct result of society's broken family values and the powerful influence that social media has on young people. Our family does not believe Andy's murder was based on race or occupation, nor is it a random act of violence. We ask that you do not politicize Andy's murder, fuel a political agenda, or create a culture war.
While we cannot say for sure whether CRS was involved in the cases of Andy Probst, Jonathan Lewis, and Aiden Clark, there is every reason to believe so. The similarities are undeniable.
Reject the script
The very existence of CRS and the documented instances of its activities tell us all we need to know about the deep-rooted anti-white bias in the American government today.
What kind of pressure would CRS exert on people like Donald Giusti's uncle and sister? Threats? Probably not direct threats. Threats don't have to be obvious to be felt and understood. We know from the famous Milgram experiments that the mere presence of authority can make people act almost completely out of character, up to and including administering lethal electric shocks to complete strangers. In the right circumstances, a lab coat would suffice.
I would also like to know what it takes for families opposed to CRS to refuse to read from the script and instead tell America: “They're trying to get us to say things we don't believe. do “It doesn't matter that our loved ones were killed in an apparently racist attack. This is what matters and it happens all the time. What a brave and patriotic act that would be. I won't hold my breath and wait.”
Whether or not he was mentored by CRS, Nathan Clark did not speak out against using his son’s death for political gain: he did the opposite.
He spoke out in favor of a different political vision than Donald Trump and the millions of ordinary Americans who support him and simply want their country back: a world in which people are interchangeable, towns and cities and even entire nations are swapped, a world in which the lives of children, many children's lives, are a fair trade in the pursuit of a new America, so long as the children are white.
Nathan Clark spoke out in support of an America that was once unspeakable but is fast becoming a reality.
