"Trump is unleashing this sense among a certain group of white men that violence is acceptable."
In an op-ed Thursday at The Los Angeles Times, contributor Dexter Thomas (pictured above) declares that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is "a white-people problem" and that the white "community must take responsibility for any damage that has been done, and take steps to correct it."
Thomas wrote that "people of color" police their own because "[w]henever a black or brown person does something unsavory in public, members of their community know that it will - fairly or not - reflect on them." He urges whites to handle the controversial, "particularly embarrassing" Trump the same way:
White people should feel insulted by [Trump's appeal to "white nationalists"]. They should feel ashamed - as white people - of Donald Trump. Whites need to stand up and say that they will not allow Trump to hijack their culture, or to conduct his racist politics in their name.
But that's not enough, Thomas continues. Whites must also "take responsibility for any damage that has been done, and take steps to correct it." He refers to race-mongering activist Tim Wise, who warns that Trump empowers "angry white people" who "might turn to terrorism."
Thomas then quotes race-mongering "comedian" Kamau Bell, who says that whites need to police Trump and the racists among their own because "white people listen to other white people better than they listen to anyone else."
To that end, Thomas plugs Dara Silverman's organization Showing Up for Racial Justice, which aims to organize 7 million whites who will pledge to combat racism in their daily lives. It's not enough for whites who disagree with Trump simply to joke about him; they need to "vow to work with their neighbors - for many of whom America was never particularly 'great'" in order to change "the society that allowed him to come to prominence."
So come on, all you privileged white people, don't let Donald Trump speak for you and conduct his racist politics in your name - you know, like blacks did with Barack Obama.
The Press is always putting down whites, always trying to control whites and always trying to manipulate whites. What gives them the right?
lol! ha....he can’t figure out the connection...Gosh is this guy stupid. yeah.
“Thomas wrote that “people of color” police their own because “[w]henever a black or brown person does something unsavory in public, members of their community know that it will - fairly or not - reflect on them.”
I’ve noticed that. That’s why you almost never hear about out-of-line behavior from black people.
>>”people of color” police their own
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Best joke of the year so far.
Sorry, but it’s not the white people that are over flowing our prisons. It’s not white people committing the majority of crimes. It’s not white people that have the majority of babies born out of wedlock.
Instead, it’s white people that pay the majority of taxes to feed these parasites. I’d rather you just say “Thank You” and STFU about white people.
All the left is doing is creating racism and racists where none were before.
I want to be there the day that blacks and every other minority as a group figure out they have been lied to and manipulated to benefit LIBERAL whites. I’ll be happy to lend them a hand in setting things right.
Agreed. I like to say this about the SPLC:
The Southern Poverty Law Center -- keeping racism alive in the USA.
It’s highly profitable. Low overhead too.
This article is racist.
Well there went a wasted 2 minutes
Cause blacks take responsibility for Sharpton and Obama?
So basically with this idiot is saying is that even if. That is if you’re white. The other thing about this is it sounds a lot like a threat. Does Rachel business getting to a fever pitch. I think that liberals have program society to believe racial group deserving of the same rights as minorities and that has to be solved.
Looks like the type that the TSA should do “extensive intrusive” body searches on when he flies.
Same old shyt.
We’ve been hobbled by their smooth talk and guilt trips too long. Screw ‘em.
I will take responsibility, but I’m gonna need half a billion dollars to do this properly.
Another hit piece article against Trump posted by a Cruzer.
It’s too funny. Inner city blacks are always behind these heinous crimes and yet the Democrats try to blame Whites.
A74 year old white man employed at an Allsup’s convenience store in Hobbs, New Mexico was just killed by a young black man while the old guy was shovelling snow in the store parking lot.
I specifically blame Dexter Thomas of the LA Times and hold him completely at fault for this.
At least we know that the Times and other Big News outlets will lead with howls of outrage over this killing. Won’t they?
Isn’t it great that the “black community” has nothing worse to worry about?
