With sexual assault, should we always 'believe the woman'? Not so fast.

SAN DIEGO -- The "woke" have become a joke. The Left is devouring itself.

It happened when #MeToo collided with #BlackLivesMatter.

The collision of hashtags -- which was caught on video and has now been viewed by more than 6 million people -- occurred on a street corner in Brooklyn, N.Y., in front of a convenience store.

It was there that a 53-year-old white woman named Teresa Klein recently accused a 9-year-old African-American boy of groping her. Klein yelled that she had been sexually assaulted, and the boy was the offender. And when the boy's mother yelled back at Klein, our "victim" did what a lot of white people do when dealing with black people: She called 911.

Apparently, that's a thing. When in doubt, call the cops. Two black men are removed from a Philadelphia Starbucks by police as they wait to begin a business meeting. An African-American graduate student at Yale University who fell asleep in the common room of a dormitory is questioned by police after a fellow student reports her. In California, an 8-year-old African-American girl gets turned in for selling water outside her apartment building without a permit.

Liberals and conservatives alike are always talking about how we need to be colorblind. How's that working out, folks?

 

Law enforcement is being weaponized by white people against black people, for perceived offenses both big and small.

Guess which category Klein's complaint falls into?

Here's how the "emergency" call went:

"I was just sexually assaulted by a child," Klein told the dispatcher. In the background, the traumatized boy was crying hysterically. Meanwhile, our "victim" kept saying: "I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!" Through it all, the boy's mother appeared to be caught between anger and disbelief.
