Just found this via Instapundit, read it and subscribed to his blog. This is just a great piece, thanks for posting it here. Heart him totally for say this may be the worst book ever written, pretty sure it makes the top five! The comments over there are great too. Plenty of libs have had it with this stuff. Look at the poor dame who got her life ruined by the WaPo, she’s a big old lib. Any of them with 1/2 a brain should know they’re not ‘safe’ and some actually see that this is wrong.

One commentor made the excellent point that if you can get fired for liking a Trump tweet, how on earth can we be expected to believe any polls?

Here’s some white fragility. In the latest Michael Connolly Bosch book he has a dialogue going between two black crooks planning to kill another black snitch and in the dialogue they frequently use the N word and the MF word,which is completely beilevable, except the publisher didn’t print the N word ( N....) but the MF word came through fine. Now that’s fragile. I remember when the reverse would have been true.

No one among my ancestors (back to 1620) ever owned a slave, thus reducing my ‘fragility’. That said...
I am surprised today to learn for the first time that by 1860 there were thousands of black slave owners in the USA, both men and women, several of them exceedingly wealthy. Amazingly, one can Google “Listverse Top 10 Black Slave Owners” and be relieved to learn that any reparations burden you may have will be shared by descendants of very wealthy African-American slave owners.

Take #1...Anthony Johnson...The first black man to arrive in the Colonies who, by 1635, had gained his freedom by completing his indentured servitude, and became the first black man to own land by acquiring a 250-acre plantation where he was master over both black and white ‘servants’. But there’s more: He also became the first black slave owner when he, as Plaintiff, won the precedent-setting legal case that solidified the legality of slavery in America!!! You see, one of Mr. Johnson’s ‘servants’ claimed he was indentured and had completed his term. ‘Oh, no’, said Mr. Johnson, he was ‘indentured’ to me for life...and the Court sided with Mr. Johnson, thus making slavery (indentured servitude for life) legal in America until Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation!!!

Why is none of this taught in high schools today? Only Washington and Jefferson being slaveowners? Ask Joe Biden...(of course, it is true that none of the black slave owners have statues that could be torn down by angry, white anarchists).

“White fragility” is the leftist POC’s response to any negative reaction received when he does something offensive or racist against whites. It’s like the physical abuser that says his victim is a big crybaby.

Anti-racism is a fraud from the beginning. It asks you to denounce racism when, how and against whom no matter your own perspective or beliefs and no matter the context. It is racial fascism cloaked as goodness and righteousness.

Well, some have been talking about Yale a good deal. But Elihu Yale (think that’s his name) wasn’t really the founder, he was the FUNDER. And evidently he was a pretty repulsive guy. But nowadays Yale is a pretty repulsive place, so they should keep the name, as they are clearly keeping the money.

“Matt Taibibi wrote this? Its the best article I have seen on this yet.”

Yes, Taibbi is a big lib, for sure. But he is being GREAT on this stuff. This piece was particularly good, but he’s had many good ones lately and I have always thought he was a good writer. He’s telling the truth, and it must be making some heads explode. Check out that blog, his piece about the press destroying itself was great also. I think you can read the blog for free.

OY, that’s pathetic. Catching up on the Bosch series on Amazon Prime with hubby. They are really great if you like the books, I’m a big fan.

we are defined not by our individual personalities or moral choices, but only by our racial category.

In which case Adolf Hitler was correct in his vision but tactically inept in execution. Do these fools seriously understand what they are advocating.
If a race war did begin the snowflakes would not represent whitey. Those average Americans who are not emasculated would end up destroying the black supremacists.

End white shaming. There is no shame in being white anymore than there should be shame for having any other skin color.

Any “anti-racism” movement that seeks subservience of a demographic of people because of their skin color is by definition racist.

Liberal Fragility is the real problem .

Nothing shows fragility more than:

-"Safe Spaces" (They need a place to hide from challenges).

-"Censorship" (They refuse to debate their ideas and demand ALL opposing voices/views be silenced/removed).

-"Cancel Culture" (so fragile that they can't even handle images on pancake mix, nor do they bother to learn about it ).

Liberals are the most fragile of all.

A core principle of the academic movement that shot through elite schools in America since the early nineties was the view that individual rights, humanism, and the democratic process are all just stalking-horses for white supremacy.

Their ignorance and lack of reasoning ability creates no obligation on me, to refute it, comply with it, or any otherwise. They can go educate themselves for all I care.
