President Donald Trump's former adviser, Steve Bannon, told French far-right nationalists accused of racism to 'wear it as a badge of honor.' The former head of Breitbart News gave a speech before members of the French National Front Party on Saturday in Lille, France. 'Let them call you racists,' Bannon told party members. 'Let them call you xenophobes. Let them call you nativists. Wear it as a badge of honor.' Bannon told National Front members that 'history is on our side

It’s a far cry from 15 years ago when virtue signaling ruled the day even at conservative sites
There’s nothing honorable in being a racist.
Well good for you Ben.
Lol
Right on Steve!
I understand exactly what Bannon means....this fear of being called racist has crippled the white race from Sydney to Stockholm to Seattle
And by extension western civilization
Bannon however flawed and Marine get this..
If we wilt every time we get yelled at as racists by these virtue signaling kooks we’ll never fight back
When you consider who’s doing the name calling, they have no moral or ethical standing on... anything.
Why are you ashamed of yourself?
Now there's and understatement!
Reads like something that came out of the "Absolutely Fabulous" show writers.
Exactly. The whole ‘racist’ thing is almost exclusively meant to control and stifle. Members of groups like LaRaza or the Black Caucus or those who support such groups calling anyone racist is beyond the pale and totally absurd.
In fact they can GFT’s
Fakebook also had the edited quote.
Shades of NBC doctoring Zimmerman’s 911 call and description of Trayvon Martin.
There’s nothing politically wise about it, either. Kahane’s Kach Party was banned from the Knesset on that pretext. France and the EU probably have similar rules. Bannon ought to help his brother Race keep track of those two boys and their dog, and leave the politics to non-idiots.
People should also realize that AuntiFaaahh had no standing to brand people “Fascists”.
They called FReepers by name Fascists, President Bush a Fascist, and “the police” Fascists. This was all over a decade ago.
Stinking Commie rioters is what they are. Smash and trash and pin the blame on some minority patsies who get caught up in a march they organize.
Damn right. It cannot be the trump card, the kryptonite. We must stop being scared of being thought a racist. I actually think the ones who are more afraid of being called one are probably more racist than the ones who know it’s a tactic.
“Let them call you nativists. Wear it as a badge of honor”
THAT is the quote. He didn’t say “be proud of being called a racist”.
“Let them call you racists” was akin to “sticks and stones”.
It’s all part of the same play book.
Bannon’s alternative is not usable, either. Instead of either wilting or wearing a heinous label as a badge of honor, why not do as Trump does, and bait traps for the name callers so they end up making fools of themselves repeatedly when the facts become known, and they lose all credibility.
What is wrong with being a nativist? Someone who puts his nation above globalist wishes?
America is told that it must accept all immigrants because “nation of immigrants” and it was a settled nation.
Europe is told it must accept all immigrants because of imperialist sins of the past.
in third world nations, we are told that indigenous people must retain some say and their culture should be respected and their traditions preserved.
That’s the typical distortion that you have to watch out for.
Some southern historical society wants to preserve a statue of Robert E. Lee in a town in Virginia. They apply for and get a permit to march. A bunch of anti-fa yahoos and Nazis also show up and turn the whole thing into a free-for-all and someone gets killed. Trump says that there are fine people on both sides of the issue, and an info-babe interprets that to mean he’s calling the Nazis “fine people”. Everyone runs with it.
This is predictable. The MSM wants to mis-quote and misunderstand. It’s what they do. You have to plan for a counter that blows them out of the water. It doesn’t help to keep saying they’re misquoting you.
