Does this count as racist?
Van Jones, our Green Czar
My background is in the struggles for racial justice and criminal justice reform. As such, I’ve always felt an affinity for Cinque, the hero of the slave-revolt movie Amistad. In that film, based on a true story, the righteous, enslaved Africans fight back and take over the slave ship.

The people at the bottom rise up—taking their destiny into their own hands. It’s really a metaphor for the last century’s version of racial politics. The slave ship is earth, the white slavers are the world’s oppressors and the African captives are the world’s oppressed. The point is for the oppressed to confront and defeat their oppressors. I took that as my mission and spent years fighting against superjails, rogue cops, the prison lobby—against the forces that, to my mind and the minds of many, are the slavers of today.

Not to be pedantic but there is no such thing as "reverse discrimination". There is only discrimination.

The color of its target in immaterial to the moral wrong of discrimination.

Exactly right but it just shows how far Marxism has become entrenched in the US that most people refer to anti white BS as “reverse discrimination”.

Some people may see it as subtle but the whole implication is if not for white people racial issues wouldn’t exist and the world would be in complete harmony.

The Caucasian race is being so demonized that it may very well cease to exist. If this happens the survivors will learn who the real enemy is and they will learn the wisdom of Pogo.
