HuffPo Writer: Pretty Much Everything is Racist
The Social Memo ^ | 7/14/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 07/14/2015 12:00:34 PM PDT by rightistight

Huffington Post contributor John Metta published an article this past week in order to tell white people that pretty much everything in our culture is racist. According to Metta, this was originally "a "sermon" that I gave as a "congregational reflection" to an all White audience at the Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ."

The piece, "I, Racist," lists a large number of things that sometimes don't even appear related to one another which are "racist," to the point where it seems that nearly everything that exists in American culture is problematic.

Here are just a few things that Metta says are racist in his article, which has gained over 100,000 likes on Facebook:

Metta concludes his examples of racism by writing, "And White people, every single one of you, are complicit in this racism because you benefit directly from it."

Here are your translations:

The racial makeup of Buffalo, New York's school system is racist.
Translation: We trashed it. You own it.

Moving "from an increasingly Black neighborhood to live in a White suburb might itself be a aspect of racism."
Translation: When we drive you out, you are wrong to leave.

Not talking about racism is racist.
Translation: Shut up, honky.

"People in The North are racist," as well as people in the South.
Translation: All of you are racist because I see every white person as part of the same problem.

"Racism is our acceptance of an all white Lord of the Rings cast."
Translation: It isn't racist to insist that black people appear in movies that have nothing to do with race.

Racism is "Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan in Star Trek."
Translation: You got me on that one...

Calling black people racist is racist. Metta adds, "Does any intelligent person actually believe a systematically oppressed demographic has the ability to oppress those in power?"
Translation: Ignore the fact that nearly every city with a black mayor who then surrounds himself with black henchmen is a hell hole. Ignore the fact that the chief law enforcement officers of this country are black and favor black politics over justice. Ignore the face that most blacks die at the hands of other blacks. Ignore the fact that white people will be killed for going into black neighborhoods simply because of the color of their skin. Ignore the fact that the highest office of the land is occupied by a black racist who has used his office in a racial crusade. Ignore the fact that the author of this piece sees everything through a racial lens. Except for those examples... blacks can't be racist.

Protecting "White feelings" is racist. Metta notes, "Millions of Black lives are valued less than a single White person's hurt feelings."
Translation: Deal with it, pussy.

Saying you yourself are not racist is protecting a racist system of oppression.
Translation: Shut up, honky.

Reporting that a white person shooting people is "mentally ill" is racist.
Translation: Who cares that this only happens when someone is actually deemed to be "mentally ill". Don't bother me with facts, honky.

Reporting that black people who murder people are "killers" is racist.
Translation: Ignore our violence or we might bust a cap in yo ass.

Calling a white person a "hippie" for smoking pot is racist.
Translation: Just shut up, honky. I'm running out of ideas.

The TV show "Dexter" might be racist. Metta explains, "In fact, we like White serial killers so much, we make mini-series about them."
Translation: If you make the killer a black guy... that'd be racist too. Shut up, honky.

Racism is "Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan in Star Trek."

Okay.

I think he's got us on that one...

So everything that whites ever do (or don’t do), say (or don’t say), and think (or don’t think) is racist. OK, got it, clown.

A liberal mind has been given over to all manner of spiritual corruption.
They are servants of the enemy. Everything they stand for is evil. Anything they are guilty of, they will project on others. They are psychopathic, blamers, accusers, manipulators and liars.
We have Victory in Christ.

I will cheerfully admit that white men have done most of the evil over the last few centuries. Not all, but most.

If the anti-white racists will agree that white men have also done most of the good, including most of the stomping on the bad white men.

What they do is set out all the bad for condemnation while acting as if the good just happened all by itself. IOW, they look only at the debit side of the ledger, and I think we ought to look at both.

This is, BTW, because most of the stuff, good and bad, has been done by white men.

The most obvious evil that may be attributed to the White race is in launching the war on nature that has led to all the Hate-driven pursuit of Egalitarian/Collectivist fantasy; to the variations on A Demonic Theme. The Jacobin, Marxist, Bolshevik, Nazi & American pseudo-Liberal movements, are all basically Caucasian creations; creations that have led to enormous bloodshed not only in the White world, but across the globe.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race.

Like Ms. Metta.

Race meant nothing to me until 98% of black people voted for the abomination now in the White House.

Despite elevating the status of their slain hero MLK, replacing the honorable birthday holidays of two great American presidents with his, naming countless roads and schools after him, etc., they are not satisfied.

98%! Truly they only voted based upon the color of a man's skin, and definitely not on the content of his character. They are hypocrites, willfully ignorant, and most all, racists.

So I guess Gene Rodenberry was also racist for casting the white Ricardo Montalban to play the original Khan?

Racism, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Calling something or someone racist says much more about the mind of the caller than the object of their anger.

The most racist thing of all is that most White Americans don’t even have race on their radar when they go about their lives.

But many Blacks constantly have race on their minds. And the Blacks who don’t are either ignorant or racist themselves ... like Ben Carson, Erika Herold, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, etal.

When whites go shopping they think about price, quality, etc. They totally ignore the issue of race.
When whites go to church they think about God. They ignore race. When they go to work they think about how much they love, or hate, their work and their boss.

That is racist to totally ignore race. ;)

Why would whites want to live around blacks or vice versa?

When everything is racist, nothing is racist. The left is over playing the race card so much it is losing the leaning and becoming a joke. That might not be a bad thing. There is little that gets under the skin of a liberal more than laughing at them.

If you are a professional race baiter and are skilled at looking deeply enough, just about every thing you look at is racist.

I’m kinda leaning toward the idea that John Metta, a white racist, get together with Malik Shabazz, a black racist, and they lynch each other.

These kind of people will find racism in the drinking water.

Actually, what is really riling them is the whole Judeo-Christian foundation & the fact that they are falling behind in today’s world.
