“No one can beat us. We can only beat ourselves.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a common metaphor that you\u2019ll hear in sports. The meaning is rather straight forward: our team is more talented and tactically superior than everyone else. The only way that we will lose to those lesser teams is by making mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s world, that perfectly encapsulates the United States. And our enemies know it.<\/p>\n

Last week, the US executed a prisoner swap<\/a> with Russia. In exchange for sending Viktor Bout, nicknamed “The Merchant of Death,” back to his homeland, we received WNBA player Brittney Griner who was arrested and convicted of drug possession charges and sentenced to nine years in prison.<\/p>\n

The Russian media \u2014 run by the Russian government \u2014 mocked the trade<\/a>. They said we accepted Griner instead of Paul Whelan, a US Marine who has been in Russian custody for four years, because she\u2019s a gay, black woman and he\u2019s a straight, white man.<\/p>\n

The White House says that Russia never offered Whelan in exchange for Bout, but that part is irrelevant. The more important takeaway is this: the Russians know that poking at Woke Culture is the best way to mock America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They know their citizens will find it ridiculous that a nation placed more importance on a professional athlete than a marine. That a nation believes someone\u2019s skin color and sexual orientation make them more valuable than someone who fought for the country\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n

You might think that freeing Griner was a win for Woke Culture. After all, the United States was willing to free a man convicted of conspiring to kill American citizens in order to return a gay, black woman to her home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite that, many in the media still say it wasn\u2019t fast enough. There were headlines like this one from MSNBC<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Brittney Griner is finally freed, but her peril is that of Black women in America.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

You know who\u2019s gleefully reading that headline? Vladimir Putin. The Russians are ecstatic to see us continue to fight about race.<\/p>\n

An Iranian journalist at the World Cup asked US Men\u2019s National Team captain, Tyler Adams, how he can represent a country “with so much discrimination happening against black people in America.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Iranian government runs the Iranian media. Are you seeing a pattern?<\/p>\n

The government almost certainly told the “journalist” to ask that question. The goal was to get Adams to say something negative about his country or, at the very least, prod at a wound that\u2019s about to become infected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You better believe our enemies don\u2019t want that wound to heal. They\u2019re going to keep digging until the disease spreads throughout the American body.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, yes, Woke Culture is a disease. Despite all the claims by its constituents, wokeness is not about unity. It\u2019s about dividing people into as many groups as possible. It is about focusing solely on people\u2019s outward appearances and identities. It\u2019s everything Americans used to stand against.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When I was growing up in the 1990s, the most important identity anyone had was as an “American.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Listen to any Hollywood speech nowadays. How many of them start with, “As a woman\u2026” or “As a person of color\u2026” or “As a gay person\u2026” The focus immediately becomes about the qualities that make us different, rather than the distinguishing characteristic that all Americans all have in common.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It would sound ridiculous if someone stood up tomorrow and stated “As an American\u2026” In fact, that person would probably be called a xenophobe. That\u2019s how far we\u2019ve gotten from a united, American identity.<\/p>\n

Last year, as China was facing international criticism over human rights abuses in Xinjiang, an official Chinese spokesperson stood at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. and held up a picture of black slaves picking cotton<\/a> in America from over 150 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Some are bent on linking [job opportunity] with forced labor and oppression because they have been doing this themselves for hundreds of years in history,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An official Chinese spokesperson, working on behalf of the Chinese government, deflected concerns about forced labor currently occurring in her home country by raising the issue of American slavery, which legally ended in 1866. <\/p>\n

Why? Because China understands that dividing the races in America is one of the keys to taking us down. Race relations often create more division than any other issue in American culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Continuing to beat the drum that American is a horrible, racist, homophobic country \u2014 despite all of the evidence to the contrary \u2014 is essential to ending the reign of the American Empire. And our enemies are dancing in unison to that beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They cannot beat us. But we can beat ourselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And right now, we are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
