HuffPo Article: "Racism was Created by White People"

What a privilege as a mother to be able simply to ignore race and racism if I wanted to,

The best way to eliminate racism is to ignore it. However, with the likes of Sharpton and Jackson, these United States never will.

[Gaffer]

Yes....I even hesitated a bit and tried to delve down into my repertoire of words. But alas, ‘industrialized’ fit the best in my opinion. :0)

bean flicker?

Aaaa, shaddap!

The conceit of people/libs like Mandy Hitchcock is that if not for terrible "white privilege" i.e. white racism, blacks and other minorities would be equal in terms of material benefits and accomplishments.

That conceit is belied by the fact that (1) a non-white minority, east Asians, outperform "white" Americans in academic achievement and in total wealth. And (2) even with affirmative discrimination uh action for the past fifty years, blacks and non-white Hispanics still lag far behind whites.

In short, "white privilege" has had no effect on the inability of non-whites to progress or succeed. It's all on them...if they, the non-whites, fail, white Americans have little or nothing to do with their failures. But that is a conclusion libs are unable to accept.

Looks like all these liberal blogs are in a circular firing squad.

I stopped reading at “HuffPo Article”

‘What a maroon!’

[llmc1]

“That really looks good!”

I was going to say the same thing. Sweet memories.... : )

[Politicalkiddo]

And stupidity was created by the Huffington Post.

[tanknetter]

Yet more worthless tripe that lays out the problem without identifying the prescription for resolution.

She's comes close to saying it, with this:

It is my job to make him understand that he must use that privilege to dismantle its very foundations.

But still doesn't lay out any specifics of what "dismantl(ing) its very foundations" would involved.

Until the Proggies are willing to lay out substantive steps they're looking for (assuming any of them actually know, and I'm pretty convinced most don't actually know what they really want here), there's absolutely no value in actually engaging with them on the matter.

needs more nuts...

This is the kind of crap that makes the idea of white supremacy look good. There. I’ve said it.

[I want the USA back]

They’re all coming out now, revealing what they have been thinking all along: that they hate Whitey and want to eliminate him, after taking all his money.

[CodeToad]

Seems blacks were enslaving blacks long before white people showed up.

[Politicalkiddo]

Genocide, slavery, and imperialism are no exclusively white institutions. I’m sure we can all name examples that fly in the face of the notion that white people created all social ills.

[I want the USA back]

“enslavement, torture, rape, and murder”
I’ve never done any of those things, and am not responsible for the actions of any other people. Guilt is not transmitted through DNA.
I do not enjoy White Privilege, so shut your mouth.

[Politicalkiddo]

**not

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Writing for the Huffington Post, Mandy Hitchcock declared that racism “was created by white people” and that it is entirely on white people to end it.”

Liberal white people.

[Boogieman]

Basically, the white guilt that the media and academia will heap upon her son is not enough; she must start heaping it on herself before he is old enough to wipe his own behind.
