My Powers of Prediction

July 5, 2020

Last night I remarked to some friends that the Marxist mob will eventually “protest” professional golf since at least 90% of the golfers on the PGA Tour are white.  They laughed, of course.

This afternoon, while watching the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament on TV the commentary was almost drowned out at one point by background shouting of “Black Lives Matter!” and “Detroit Can’t Breathe!”  The local Detroit Marxist mob was at the front gate of the private golf club.

Apparently the Detroit city government, which has been controlled by black politicians exclusively for at least the past half century, is a hotbed of anti-black police brutality.  So, naturally, the object of the protests is the professional golfers whose tournament raised a couple of million dollars for Detroit charities.
