I Am Not Your Slave
Ricochet ^ | June 19, 2020 | Susan Quinn

Posted on 06/21/2020 7:54:57 AM PDT by CheshireTheCat

The constant attacks on American citizens who are white are absurd and insulting. The commentary insisting that all whites must be racist is bizarre and on a closer look, based on no facts at all. I’ve decided that I’ve had enough of these intended insults...

Let me explain why the efforts to coerce me into thinking or acting in a particular way is not only a waste of time, but it defies everything this country stands for. My arguments appear below:

1. My strongest argument is that you have no scientific data that says a person is born or will become inherently racist. Just because a person is a scientist or creates facts to support his or her position does not make this statement true. We are, of course, influenced by our culture and its norms... But I have something called agency...

2. You are totally incapable of knowing my mind, how I feel, or how I think. My mind is not open to your analysis, and at any given time you are not able to know my thoughts, unless I choose to share them with you. So, your stating whether or not I have racist thoughts or how I created them is impossible; therefore, stating that my racism is unconscious is illogical.

3. Your assessment that we live in a racist society cannot be ascertained.... How many members of society need to be racist to justify labeling the entire society racist? Is a society racist if 1%, 5%, or 10%...? Must every single person be purged of his or her racist ideas for a society to be free of racism? What tools or criteria will you use to measure the degree of racism in society? What makes your tools or criteria legitimate?...

Hundreds of absolutely brutal attacks by feral NAPAs against whites are circulating online. Just like in Zimbabwe or South Africa. Usually 6 or more yutes beating up one White, Asian or Hispanic.

And they want to take our guns?

Honestly, do you really think logical arguments are going to work on these people? When confronted by them and you launch into a logical argument they’re going to bash you over the head with a skateboard then stomp you sensless and run away like the little bitches they are. A better skill to use is gun control, learn how to remain calm when attacked and while under pressure the ability to discern the most imminent threat, draw your weapon and aim, then calmly squeeze the trigger and deliver 3 or 4 rounds to center mass. Then if necessarry, rinse and repeat as many times as necessarry.

Some years ago I saw a drama about Germany in WWII. A young Jewish woman was brought to a concentration camp. She had an engineering degree. She tried to explain to one of the Nazi officers that what they were trying to build would not withstand the weight it was intended to carry...and the officer simply shot her in the head.
Some people, you can’t reason with them.

Logical arguments are not going to work on ANTIFA or militant BLM members, but they may work on the middle-aged suburbanite sympathizers.

The belief that “race matters” above all else is, in indisputable fact, racist. (Hear that, BLM? Hear that, Democrat/Left Party?)

I’ve come to the conclusion that Antifa and BLM are organizations founded on hate, united by hate and for the promotion of hate. They are the militant hate wing of the RAT party, just as much as the KKK was. Somehow I don’t expect the Southern Poverty Law Center is going to list them as hate groups anytime soon.

Maybe I will form a counter organization: The Northern Prosperity Law Center. I’ll start by listing Antifa and BLM as hate groups. Then when people write about those groups they can say something like: “ANTIFA and BLM, listed by the Northern Prosperity Law Center as hate groups...”

What I have learned from BLM:
-it’s okay to judge people by their skin color;
-it’s okay to hate others based on a stereotype, even if it’s a false stereotype;
-prejudging and hating are virtues;
-prejudice is impervious to facts;
-if you’re justifiably angry, lashing out and harming, or even killing innocents is okay;
-being held accountable for your own behavior is the greatest of injustices.

Liked the article… the author makes some excellent points. One issue that I rarely see discussed is this…

If there is no racism, then there is no reason to ever talk about it. By inference, if we are not talking about racism then a very likely reason is because we’ve already hit the state where it already no longer exists or at least is so down on the list of things that come up that it’s well on its way extinction (or you believe the far leftist view that it’s deliberately kept hidden). A scant few months ago, society generally seemed like it was at that point. I’ve travelled extensively all over the U.S (and for that matter, Canada, Mexico and elsewhere in South America, Europe and the far East). I can say that not only have I visited them, I’ve worked in almost all 50 states. In my travels over the U.S., I don’t recall racism coming up except for a few times when I managed to wander into some very black neighbourhoods and was told “you have the wrong color of skin to be in this neighborhood.” I can recall walking into my living room after work and my youngest son would have some friends over after school for some video games. There might be 6 or 8 kids on the floor playing game and sometimes there wasn’t two cultures and ethnicities the same amongst them. Was there ever a discussion that involved anything to do with race? Was there ever a comment that had any types of racial overtones? Nope…. The closest one might come is when one of the kids said something along the lines of “well I like Japanese food better than Chinese food……. “

Here’s the rub…. It took a long time to get to where society was on the near extinction of racism as of a few months ago. However, what the rioting and looting over the past few weeks has done (in conjunction with the enemedia and Sharptons fanning the flames of dying embers) is create racism where it didn’t exist before. It is true that both whites and blacks were involved in the rioting and looting….. but since this has been massaged to make it appear that this was all just a response to racism against blacks, this is going to be the future focus and what will be remembered. And the consequences of believing that the black lives matter crowd were the ones behind the wanton rioting/looting/destruction/murders as occurred across major U.S cities is to naturally be one of avoiding these people, not hiring these people, being on your guard against these people, being suspicious, doing what one can to keep them out of your neighborhood etc etc etc. Is it fair for an owner who had his business trashed by the black lives matter crowd to not want to hire blacks in the future? Perhaps not on an individual basis but this would appear to be both a logical and natural response at a group level when one has been witness to what these people have done…

A new round of racism just got created and God help us all as November approaches.

Keep believing that, Susan. Enjoy being an unemployed pariah after you are doxxed and fired by a gutless weasel employer.

Yep, some type of economic shutdown by the taxpayers would be great.

Most middle aged suburbanites are on our side already. It is a relative radical few that are supporting this crap. Most of those who’ve not yet joined the walk-away movement will be shortly if the chaos continues. One thing is for certain, the dems have managed to drive away most of their most loyal voters over the last three years and in the last couple of month the walk away movement has grown exponentially. So the point is when you make a logical argument to the vast majority of middle aged suburbanites, you’re just preaching to the choir. Don’t get me wrong, its a good thing to make logical arguments, my only point was, the people who need to hear them will not acknowledge them.

11. Leftist blacks and whites are projecting. They are the racists. They hate whites. The white ones are self-haters. The black ones are just haters.

None of the turmoil of the past few weeks has done anything to make any black person more successful in life--to be better educated, more likely to invent something or make a scientific discovery or start a successful business. It probably has caused more black people to have hostile sentiments towards all white people (probably not something ever measured by pollsters), and has caused a lot of white people to see their own race as somehow uniquely evil in human history.

That doesn't benefit America, but it may benefit the Democratic Party in terms of winning elections.

Try and identify the person who waves his hands and shouts the most - that would be the leader. Take him out first, and then selectively, any sheep who tries to take his place. By time the third one goes down, they get the idea and disburse.
