False Claim that Kyle Rittenhouse Shot Blacks Still Alive

Anti-white leftists just won’t get the facts straight. They still insist that Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two black men the night he shot three whites who attacked him — at least until they’re corrected publicly.

The most recent claim showed up in The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World, a lady Egyptologist’s lament that the ancients were smarter than the moderns because they let women run their countries.

Another surfaced at a university website on November 19, the day Rittenhouse was acquitted of criminal charges.

It’s bad enough that the errors were published after the trial, which was front page news and broadcast daily for almost three full weeks.

The truth surfaced soon after the shootings on August 25, 2020, video of which was widely available online.

Oops!

Kara McKinney of OANN picked up the error in Good Kings.

“Consider Kyle Rittenhouse, who used his semiautomatic weapon to kill two Black men in Kenosha, Wisconsin while waging a glorious war on behalf of his inherited White power,” the text reads.

Tweeted McKinney:

“I’m literally wheezing this is so funny 😂🤣 this is the last chapter of “Good Kings” by Egyptologist Kara Cooney. I’ll say this delicately… she’s not the brightest and it shows.

To her credit, the author, UCLA egghead Kara Cooney, immediately admitted her careless mistake.

“Yes. This was my mistake,” she tweeted. “And caught too late for printing. Apologies. I stand by the sentiment of white supremacy, however.”

But Cooney, an historian presumably paid to get historical facts straight, also fumbled the story on Rosa Parks, who famously refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

Cooney reports that Parks became “a hero when she took a seat in the White section of a public bus and started the Montgomery bus boycott.”

Wrong again, as McKinney observed.

Here is how the National Archives explains it:

On the city buses of Montgomery, Alabama, the front 10 seats were permanently reserved for white passengers.… Mrs. Parks was seated in the first row behind those 10 seats. When the bus became crowded, the bus driver instructed Mrs. Parks and the other three passengers seated in that row, all African Americans, to vacate their seats for the white passengers boarding. Eventually, three of the passengers moved, while Mrs. Parks remained seated, arguing that she was not in a seat reserved for whites. James Blake, the driver, believed he had the discretion to move the line separating black and white passengers. The law was actually somewhat murky on that point, but when Mrs. Parks defied his order, he called the police. Officers Day and Mixon came and promptly arrested her.

Neither Cooney nor the archives, of course, mention that Parks was an activist who attended the Highlander Folk School, a communist-founded training ground for agitators, and that black women had refused to give up their seats to whites long before anyone had heard of Parks. Those women sued the city over it.

How Parks and Rittenhouse relate to Egyptology is as hard to understand as the hieroglyphics in Nefertiti’s tomb.

University Website Expunges Post

In November, James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, was forced to delete a video that also said Rittenhouse killed two blacks.

The young man in the video claimed Rittenhouse took “two beautiful black lives.” One hopes the “biophysical chemistry major” who posted the falsehood has a firmer grasp of biophysical chemistry that he does of current events.

None of the three men Rittenhouse shot were black. They were, however, violent criminals.
