Thanks to a hoax pulled on the Huffington Post.
For a distillation of the contemporary left’s worldview, one needn’t look any further than a blog post that was recently published at the Huffington Post: “Could it Be Time to Deny White Men the Franchise?”
At least one could have turned to this post—until HuffPo took it down. But we’ll get to that shortly.
The author, a person going by the name of “Shelley Garland,” a self-declared South African and graduate student in philosophy, argued that it is morally necessary to temporarily deny the franchise to white men.
Moreover, at least some of their resources should be repossessed and “redistributed” to others.
Garland explains her reasons. First, white men are bad for left-wing progressivism. “Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year,” she writes, “have often been due to the votes of white men.” She gives examples. “If white men were not allowed to vote, it is unlikely that the United Kingdom would be leaving the European Union, it is unlikely that Donald Trump would now be the President of the United States, and it is unlikely that the Democratic Alliance would now be governing four of South Africa’s biggest cities.”
“If white men no longer had the vote,” Garland summarily states, “the progressive cause would be strengthened.” She’s quick to underscore that she is proposing nothing more than “the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation),” for this is all that it would take to “go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world.”

We should repeal the 19th amendment....
Lol
The post was a hoax, but it exposed the sick prejudice of the Left at HuffPo.
The trouble with such racist babble is it gives justification to other lunatics to do civil mischief and use to enhance the Democrat vote.
Harrare, that’s the name of the Capitol of the former Rhodesia:
A taxi driver drove around filming wrecked buildings and dingy, rusted, plundered monuments, juxtaposing each with a momentary cut-away to a shot of each 40 years ago —each of those shots could easily have come from Great Britain or Holland. It was amazing.
But it was alllll wrecked, almost beyond recognition, a complete shock that you were seeing exactly the same places.
He explained they move into wrecked, abandoned buildings, first on the lower floors, throwing their trash into the elevator shaft, since the elevator doesn’t work anymore.
Gradually the trash level comes up to the floor of most of the people living there, so they’re checkmated, right?
Wrong —they all simply move a couple floors up, the better to have more trash space in that same elevator shaft.
And the cycle begins anew, each time all the people having to trudge up more stairs.
With the shaft completely filled they lose interest in the building, and the squatters move on, like locusts seeking out virgin fields to gnaw through.
Do they ever learn the lesson of simply disposing of their trash properly..?
No.
“The post was a hoax.........”
It would be the real deal if they could actually do it, and they would do it in a second if they could get away with it.
The Left's phony accusation of the Right's "war against women" is actually a cover for the Left's war against men. Emasculation and feminization is an important step but not the ultimate step in "the progressive cause".
What is "the progressive cause"? It is the victory for the spirit of antichrist, the satanic spirit behind the Left.
What is the ultimate plan of the spirit of antichrist? Death to all of God's people and rulership of Satan through his Islamic World Leader (see the Book of Revelation - it is coming, but not before Jesus comes and takes all current believers with him to Heaven).
They won’t be satisfied with anything less than holding us in chattel slavery for a couple hundred years.
“Someone” put those words to paper....
I understand that but they haven’t implemented it. Yet.
Even as a hoax, it is not necessary as a progressive autocraticy is on the way. They learned their lesson about the danger of allowing people to vote.
[ We should repeal the 19th amendment.... ]
While it would remove my vote, it would nullify so many other women who consider the state as their “sugar daddy” who would be voting against my interests....
I would be happier if they just said that if you pay more in taxes than what you receive, you can vote...
But if it came down to it, repeal all the G-D D-MNED “Progressive era” amendments....

Do liberals ever LEARN THEIR LESSON? “You may bring civilization to the Savages, but it won’t always Civilize the Savage”
Racist
Yes, and also reality.
The rest of the non-white world doesn't believe in the white Baby Boomer/Cuckservative racial equality nonsense.
It believes in "if you're not one of us, then you're not one of us"
When are Cuckservatives and other white people going to wake the F up about this stuff?
That's fascinating.
If you have a link (or keywords for a search), please share.
Initially, the editor-in-chief of HuffPo SA, Verashni Pillay, stridently defended the post. Garland’s “underlying analysis about the uneven distribution of wealth and power in the world,” Pillay remarked, “is pretty standard for feminist theory.”
Yes, it is. That does not make it accurate.
Moreover, it has “been espoused in many different ways by feminist writers and theorists for decades now. In that sense, there was nothing in the article that should have shocked or surprised anyone (or so we thought).”
Forcibly disenfranchising a major portion of the population isn't shocking? How intellectually myopic would anyone have to be to believe this?
Pillay accuses critics of refusing to engage Garland’s blog post and informs them that there is no way to avoid her conclusion given her premises, premises that she and her ilk at the Huffington Post share with Garland.
And what premises are these?
“Dismantling the patriarchal systems that have brought us to where we are today
Careful, that line of thought admits that "where we are today" includes nothing satisfactory, including the enfranchisement of women, not to mention empowering the bitter and hostile to publish their hate screeds.
...a world where power is wielded to dangerous and destructive ends by men, and in particular white men, necessarily means a loss of power to those who hold it.”
That isn't exactly a premise, it's a conclusion, and the passive voice "a loss of power" ignores the rather important issue of how and in what circumstances this large a segment of the population is to be placed in chains. That stuff isn't ideology, it's political porn for adolescents.
Pillay doesn’t mince words: “Those who have held undue power granted to them by the patriarchy must lose it for us to be truly equal. This seems blindingly obvious to us all.”
"All" here meaning those willing to ignore that disenfranchisement is inequality by definition. Feminist social justice requires only that the foot occupying the jackboot be changed, and prefers that to the elimination of the jackboot altogether. How far those evil patriarchal white oppressors have come to doing so is resolutely denied, which is one of those premises too inconvenient for consideration. Put bluntly, no one in the history of humanity has been more free than those who are now insisting that they're the most oppressed, and the ones responsible for that freedom deserve praise, not condemnation. Premise that.
