If you are white and walk down any street in America named Martin Luther King Boulevard, you will realize just how white you really are

Nothing would make me happier than seeing the author of this article and others like him stranded on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Baltimore at 1 AM. I can just imagine his pleading as he's robbed and beaten to death "But I'm on your side guys - I hate white people too!"

Its a very dangerous game the left is playing.

Combining straw-men with Neo-marxist ideology to declare “white” people guilty of implicit racial bias

“what have the white people EVER done for us?”

You’re right. I say we form the People’s Front of Judea.

It is my contention that the first person to inject race into a discussion is the racist. It's almost always pregressives talking about it, so guess what?

"You want to know what I think? I think you're one of those pregressives, and you're organizing a mutiny of pregressives!"

Hi.

“I know of a bunch of streets in Boston from my youth that made me think about being white.”

Stuart St. in the Combat zone.

I enjoyed being white walking done that street.

Armed of course.

Nobody demanding that we have a “conversation about race” is willing to listen to differing perspectives. They want to dictate the terms of what’s acceptable in the conversation and their sole intent is to get the “other” person to come around to their way of thinking. They are fascists.

For too long, many white Americans have avoided this conversation, and we’ve done so for a reason:

Mr. METZL said that..?

Actually at the end of his life X was more in line with how we think here

King is mythology

A socialist who said platitudes white liberals drank up back then

Now conservatives love theirselves some MLK

look how Reagan reacted to King

This type of person in PUBLIC, goes around saying, “WE white people”, followed by some type of criticism.

Joe Q. Public sees that as an expression of modesty of self-deprecation. For that reason, he lets it pass.

IN PRIVATE —in his family, among friends or in his house or worthip— that same critic NEVER says “WE white people”.

And that’s because he and his do NOT see themselves as white. Rest assured that he is happy that whites mistake him for being so; he derives many advantages from that repeated, often lifelong misconception.

In fact he loves whites the same way Dracula loves long-necked, busty women.

What stupid honkies have to deal with is a bit complicated:

The ones outwardly appearing as The Other and who use the same house protection technique you also use are actually pretty ok, while those always wearing exactly the type of finery and eating all the same foods that you do are the real Western Civ-haters.

They are delusional insects who think they’ll be safe only when you are DEAD.

When I was young, the country was 85 percent white, 12 percent black, and 3 percent other, which included Hispanics. We were a Christian, English speaking country. The white people all hailed from some part of Europe and shared a general respect for western culture, European history and the monuments of Western civilization.

Today?

We are being replaced. The problem is not the color of the newcomers; the problem is that we no longer demand assimilation, and our elites reject assimilation with contempt. Hey, hey, ho, ho, western civ has got to go. We don't expect newcomers to learn our language. We don't teach them American history or civics. We import tens of millions of people from countries with no tradition of the rule of law, the inherent rights of citizens, respect for private property and limited government, and we encourage them do denounce as racist any expectation that they conform culturally to us.

We will soon be majority-minority. The democratic party is now a racial/tribal party demanding tribute from anyone with a lighter skin tone than their own. People sneak across the border illegally and go to the front of the line in government preference systems.

The most successful country in the history of the world is committing suicide. We had a nice run. It may already be too late to reverse course.

King is mythology

Indeed. Way too many people only know of MLK from “I have a dream” without knowing or realizing what else he believed and stood for. He was no more ‘colorblind’ than a rainbow is colorless.

LOL our elementary school version was:

This land is my land
It is not your land
I got a shotgun
And you ain't got one
I'll blow your head off
If you don't get off
This land was made for me not you!


A true American classic.

The author is a self-loather convinced by a lifetime of indoctrination from the leftists who couldn’t make it anywhere but academia. Mentally self-neutered right out the box, this sort of person will lay down for anyone with more drive and/or testosterone and whine about how we should do the same. Known to die from cardiac arrest should a real woman express interest and act on it.

If plagued with such as family they have to be placed at the Kid’s Table during Thanksgiving and Christmas. The other kids have no problem laying the smack down on their roody poo candy asses.
