". . . he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." - Jefferson

Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock, you will have noticed an ominous cultural shift resulting in the wholesale condemnation of one class of people, namely, white, American males. In particular white, conservative, American males. By definition, they are evil, and by default, they are guilty. Whatever comes their way, they deserve.
Perhaps the one tweet best expressing this outlook comes from a black woman named Taiyesha Baker who used the moniker “Night Nurse.” She wrote, “Every white woman raises a detriment to society when they raise a son. Someone with the HIGHEST propensity to be a terrorist, rapist, racist, killer, and domestic violence all star. Historically every son you had should be sacrificed to the wolves.”
Are these sentiments extreme? Absolutely, and there has been a firestorm of well-deserved criticism against Baker. And I’m sure many black Americans find her comments utterly abhorrent.
But these sentiments were not expressed in a vacuum. Baker only articulated what some others were thinking, albeit in very extreme terms. Those evil, white males! It’s best if all of them were slaughtered in infancy, “sacrificed to the wolves.”
Emily Lindin, a white columnist with Teen Vogue, shared some similar sentiments, although, in her case, the hostility was not as extreme and was not limited to white males. Any male will do!
She tweeted, “Here's an unpopular opinion: I'm actually not at all concerned about innocent men losing their jobs over false sexual assault/harassment allegations.”
Come again? You have no problem with innocent males losing their jobs after being falsely accused? You wouldn’t mind if it was a fine, respectable, upright, ethical, hardworking, kindhearted man whose reputation was sullied and whose career destroyed because of outright lies? You wouldn’t mind if this happened to your father or your brother (or husband, if you are married)?
Precisely so. As she explained, “Sorry. If some innocent men's reputations have to take a hit in the process of undoing the patriarchy, that is a price I am absolutely willing to pay.”
Patriarchy must be crushed, and there will always be innocent casualties of war. So be it.
As for whiteness, it is inherently evil and must be eliminated or subjugated.
This is the fruit of decades of radical feminism and identity politics. It is fruit that is rotten to the core.
As for white evangelicals, African American TV host Roland Martin gives us a succinct summary.
Martin was asked, “For a party that is evangelical and dealing with someone who was claiming to be a religious moral leader [speaking of Judge Roy Moore], what does that tell us?”
Martin responded, “It tells us, first of all, white evangelicals do not care.”
As he explained, “Because if you look at Jerry Falwell Jr., you look at Ralph Reed, you look at Tony Perkins, you look at Robert Jeffress, you look at how they have defended anything and everything Donald Trump has done. They don’t care.
“White conservative evangelicals also care about power. All they care about is a right-wing judge on the Supreme Court. All they care about are the same judges on the federal bench.”
All clear. White evangelicals are not concerned with the sanctity of life, beginning in the womb. White evangelicals are not concerned with preserving religious liberties, a bedrock of our society. White evangelicals are not concerned with caring for the poor and the needy. White evangelicals only want power so they can dominate society and (as Martin further expressed) make “profits” from their power.
Have whites oppressed blacks in the past? Then all whites are evil. Have men hurt women? Then all men are evil. Have evangelicals been hypocritical? Then all evangelicals are evil.
It hardly matters that the vast majority of men recently accused of sexual harassment are liberals or that other liberals are covering for them (like Nancy Pelosi claiming that Congressman John Conyers is an “icon” who deserves due process while calling Roy Moore a “child molester,” or MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt defending Al Franken).
No. It is those hypocritical, power-hungry, white evangelicals. Their only agenda is to dominate the country again and rule over everyone else. That’s just what white evangelicals do.
To be sure, anti-white, anti-male, and anti-evangelical sentiments like this are not new. But having simmered and festered for several decades on university campuses and among liberal intelligentsia, they are now rising to the surface with shocking anger and ferocity.
The controversial nature of the Trump presidency, following on the heels of eight years of identity politics under President Obama, provided the perfect breeding ground.
That’s why, in the coming days, I expect even more shrill, more despicable sentiments to be expressed. You have been forewarned.
On our end – and by “our” I mean civil-minded people from every background – we do well to major on the majors: standing for justice for all; standing with the oppressed; and standing against stereotypes and lies.
This way we can be busy doing good while the extremists are getting exposed for who they really are.
Liberals/progressive still do not understand why Trump won in 2016.
And they are going to be shocked again in 2020.
When all hope is lost, there is nothing left to live for, or to be afraid of.
So, some falsely accused man, having lost his career, family, reputation, and savings decides that he has lost everything.... then decides to rid the world of the scum like Ms. Militant Black Beotch, or Ms. Teen Vogue Twaht that encouraged and supported the false accusations.....
Bet they get real concerned then.
"I" am willing to pay? The speaker is offering only to make other people pay, which is, after all, the point of the entire ideology. It's all about hatred and payback. Revenge is social justice and social justice is revenge, and it's based not on anything the victim has done but on what he is.
There is more than a passing resemblance between seminal feminist screeds - Brownmiller, Dworkin - and Mein Kampf. Critical Race Theory has joined that roll of dishonor. It's all going to be with us for a long time.
"They wonder why they got Trump.
They are why they got Trump."
He did indeed.

So sorry I read any of this dung.
The wicked will not stand in the day of judgment.
They are like the chaff driven away by the wind.
Racial Feminism is to harsh and Identity politics is too nice. Let’s call it for what it is, Gender and racial leveraging .
In a nutshell, this attitude is why NO white person, male or female, with a son or the possibility of having a son in the future SHOULD EVER vote for a Democrat at any political level.
Who’s holding who down now?
Progressive politicians, may have passed the point described by Thomas Jefferson in the following words:
In truth, the great lie perpetrated by leaders and followers of America's Progressive movement is being exposed for what it always has been, and the picture is not pretty, nor is the "fruit" from the now mature "plant" of that ideology proving to be conducive to individual liberty or freedom."Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. This increases the difficulties ten fold; and those who pursue these methods, get themselves so involved at length, that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." - See "Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785," in Thomas Jefferson: Writings (New York: The Library of America, 1984), pp. 814-815.". . . he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." - Jefferson
The following is an excerpt from the "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" (1886) (celebrating America's 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) by a Black Ohio Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett on "The Greatness of America" - Note that this Sermon is delivered only a few years after the end of the Civil War by this outstanding scholar/legislator/Bishop.
"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" - Library of Congress - African-American SectionIf current generations of youth in America go to the LOC web site and read this lengthy Address by a remarkable Black scholar of history, Ohio State Legislator, and A.M.E. Bishop, who had lived through the years surrounding the Civil War, then their perspective might be enhanced, enlarged and encouraged by their pride in such an intellectual giant from America's history.
Whites need to embrace identity politics, not by advocating for anything bad towards any other genetically-defined group in any way shape or form, as that is the path of losers losing, but instead by simply standing up and saying that is is good for Whites to be happy to be Whites, and rejecting all calls for Whites to apologize for being White or to pay for being White by sacrificing family, land, money, rights, and opportunities.
Yep. I'd put them roughly at where Republicans were, circa 2005-08. No decent national candidates to run, no one ready (or willing) to come off the bench and step up into the national spotlight. When their best choices are an 80-year-old socialist (Bernie), Discount Hillary Clinton (Warren) and whatever Kamala Harris is.....they're in real trouble.
2020 looks pretty good, and I'm optimistic about '24, as well. Lots of good conservative people on the bench, getting ready to step into the spotlight. Meanwhile Dem-lite candidates like McCain and Flake are getting moved to the side.
Simultaneously, the Dem party is engaging in a circular firing squad. Lots of Freepers want to see BO and Hillary tossed in jail for their actions (as would I), but realistically, that's not going to happen. What *will* happen is that the 2nd tier movers and shakers will all get tossed under the bus to protect them. Weinstein, Brazile, the Podestas, and others were just the first volley. There won't be much room left under the bus come 2018 or 19.
So...to sum up my rant.... things look pretty good short term. All things are cyclical though, and Republicans will overreach as all pols do, and will eventually come crashing down as all pols do. Hopefully, first, they can roll back some of the damage of the past 25-odd years.
“And I’m sure many black Americans find her comments utterly abhorrent.”
I doubt that... maybe a few.
