Steve Bannon's white nationalism targets people of color and immigrants
CNN ^ | 11/14/16 | Ruth Ben-Ghiat

Posted on 11/15/2016 12:34:02 AM PST by T-Bird45

Anyone who is surprised at the appointment of right-wing guru Steve Bannon as the Donald Trump administration's chief strategist and counselor has been living in an alternate universe, the universe in which President-elect Trump would "pivot" into something resembling a mainline GOP conservative.

And anyone who is amazed at Trump's temerity in putting a white nationalist into the White House has gravely misunderstood the power of racism in fueling his campaign, and the desire to "turn back the clock" to a time when white men supposedly ruled supreme.

Above all, they've forgotten the cardinal rule of Trumpworld: attachment to profit and the Trump brand is a means of increasing influence and power over others. As CEO of Breitbart News, Bannon is key to that strategy, in America and beyond.

I guess this professor has never heard of Godwin's Law since that means she has lost the argument the moment she put her fingers on the keyboard to write this. Beyond that, her evidence for Bannon's "white nationalism" is weak, IMO, as well as having a poor understanding of the meaning of Trump's election.

Bring it on my FRiends. What say you to this latest slice of slander?

The article is, of course, chock full of quotations from Bannon, proving his “white nationalism.”

The article also quotes extensively from Trump’s website and his speeches, proving that his “platform” is racist.

Left wing media scribes dutifully carrying water for the party of slavery, the KKK, segregation, lynchings, eugenics, Jim Crow, fire hosings, billy clubbings, poll taxes, literacy tests, welfare dependency, black abortion, and the ghetto plantation.

Irony is dead.

That is hilarious! The other day, I passed a bunch of screaming children (not kidding...SCREAMING at passing cars)...who were inexplicably "outside" of their high school during school hours.

I'm planning on going to the local party store to purchase a big bag of decorative baby shower "favors"...miniature bottles, pacifiers, etc., along with a host of diaper pins to throw by the handful at the obnoxious toddlers.

CNN like MSNBC is only good for the clips that show their stupidity.

Fortunately I have better things to do then watch them all day looking for clip worthy stupidity.

Like this paint here, it’s drying.

This was cross-posted to a local newspaper site and I thought the posting on FR ought to go to the true source. Also, you must always keep an eye on your enemies. While there’s nothing surprising in this article, knowing the source is the first tool to be able to craft a proper response, IMO.

I don’t anything about Bannon, but have been hearing this a lot lately (no facts, just accusations).

Anyone know what is really behind it (other than trying to drag him down of course). I mean, is there any basis whatsoever to these claims?

The same media that lies about the polls are lying about this.

They think enforcing laws that was enforced by every President since George Washington up to Obama is racist.

The so called MSM is desperate and lashing out.

Rest assured, I do not lurk CNN, MSNBC or any such places in search of posting material. As I posted above, this showed up as a cross-posting on a newspaper site I look at regularly. I found it so outrageous that I thought some on FR would enjoy the opportunity to throw some more darts at the MSM and their fellow-travelers from DU, Huffin Puff, and academia.

You are exactly correct, Mount Athos.
What with leftwingers calling everyone *Hitler* these days, the term is hardly ever noticed anymore.
If they get the wrong change while getting a coffee and newspaper, they call the shopkeeper that name.
When everyone is Hitler, nobody is Hitler. They've worn-out the term!

In a state of panic, their Propaganda is flowing freely now.

But many are falling for it, strangely. My apologies in advance for even needing to explain this here....

“White Nationalist”: Bannon and many of us deplorables are white, and we are also nationalists (MAGA). So the name is true. But to the sheeple hypnotized Low Information crowd and Drive-By templated Media, it sounds like “white supremecist” and/or “aryan nation”. To them, this makes Bannon and us deplorables very, very baaaaaaad.

Trump will not acquiesce to the media. They can keep preaching to their deranged choir.
