HuffPo Blogger Calls For US To Deny White Men The Right To Vote
The Daily Caller ^ | April 13, 2017 | Amber Randall

A Huffington Post blogger proposed Thursday to deny white men the right to vote for 20 years to correct the wrongs they afflicted on the world.

Shelley Garland, a MA philosophy student, pondered taking away white men’s voting powers as punishment for their “toxic white masculinity” in an op-ed. Garland argues that if it hadn’t been for white men, President Donald Trump wouldn’t have been elected and the U.K. would still be a part of the E.U.

The only way to fix this, Garland reasons, is to take away white men’s voting rights for about twenty years.

”If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened. It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world,” Garland writes.

Garland acknowledges while this is unfair, it is a form of reparations for white men committing slavery, colonialism and apartheid in the past.

“Let’s be clear, it may be unfair, but a moratorium on the franchise for white males for a period of between 20 and 30 years is a small price to pay for the pain inflicted by white males on others, particularly those with black, female-identifying bodies,” Garland writes.

People also blamed “whiteness” and white people for the reason Trump became president. (RELATED: Media Calls Election A Victory for ‘Whiteness’)

“We now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is still a white America, and not exclusively red-state or blue-collar, that will fight to the end to retain its ancestral status over the non-white Americas rising all around it in a fearsome new century,” wrote Frank Rich at the New York Magazine.

Children should be seen but not read.

This little girl has no idea what she is saying.

She needs to grow up before using adult phrases.

Hey, what happened to my slaves? And my colonial possessions? And my separate white community?

What? I never HAD any of those? I’m just a poor schmuck who happens to be born white, through no fault of my own?

So why must I be punished?

I DINNA DU NUFFIN!

What a Safe Space Cadet.

Safe Spaces are places for resentment, fear, and hatred. Yet another divisive instrument forged by the Left.

She must be related to the Dem and Obama’s liberal DC Harvard Marxist candidate (Merrick Garland) to the SCOTUS. Wasn’t he waiting in the wings for Scalia to take a hunting trip to a remote location? I’ll never believe it was a coincidence because Dem operatives thrive on such moves and illegalities. Ask about Seth Rich. http://nypost.com/2016/08/10/julian-assange-suggests-dnc-staffer-was-shot-dead-for-being-a-source/
