Interesting thought while watching Seinfeld tonight.

The episode was about nonfat yogurt and the election of '93 between Dinkins and Giuliani. There was a reference to "Wilding" in the episode without mentioning the jogger rape case of 1989 when the Central Park Five were arrested. Interesting article from 2019 on Wilding:

"What Is 'Wilding' And What Does It Have To Do With The Central Park 5?
Debate around what the phrase "wilding" meant — and if it ever referred to anything at all — continues to this day."

Fatface took out the ad demanding their execution. Then Giuliani beat Dinkins and the trend was estsblished....

First Black mayor of NYC and first black POTUS were both followed into office by Fascists. And they were buddies.

rhetoric in their record factor into this? That seems very simpatico with "wilding" talk. So are they in on it too? Or are they useful idiots? What is their role in this coincidental stuff?

They won a settlement of $41 million. The term Wilding was thrown around on the local news and the 5 were vilified incessantly.

The main take away I had though was the fascist following the black leader. It takes many, many, many lies to make that happen.

Hang with the Christians, QANON, and any group that yells about how they are “fighting “ them. It’s already happened with the Qanons and the Christian’s are a big supplier.

The problem is they have been loud and we have been quiet. And we are not the ones who harbor the sickos. They are.
