Liberals Don’t Get To Have It Both Ways With White Americans
Townhall.com ^ | September 2, 2017 | John Hawkins

"The base of the Democratic party used to be working people, regardless of race, ethnic, or ethnic identity, sexual orientation, et cetera. That was a Roosevelt agenda. That was the Truman agenda. Over time, and I think particularly over the last eight years, the Democratic Party has moved into interest group politics and in many cases white working people have become the whipping post, or were. I think what you saw in this election here is white working people in these rural areas seeing that someone actually was articulating the fact that they had become disenfranchised and they gravitated toward Trump in my view..." -- Former Democratic Senator Jim Webb

Let’s see, what was it that Michael Moore said earlier this week?

“The angry white guy is dying out, and the Census Bureau has already told us that by 2050, white people are going to be the minority, and I’m not sad to say I can’t wait for that day to happen. I hope I live long enough to see it because it will be a better country.”

Of course, there are places in America where white people are already a minority; so why doesn’t Michael Moore live in one of them? If he really believes he’s better off with less white people around, why didn’t he build a mansion in Compton or inner-city Detroit instead of having one in 96% white Torch Lake?

Like Michael Moore, liberals generally love to mock white people. They especially love to put down those white, cis males …well, until the chips are down anyway. Then it's, "Can you help us out?"

White cops are all racists looking for an excuse to pick on black Americans until someone threatens or robs a liberal and then he immediately runs to the cops.

The rich, white guys are greedy and evil until someone needs a job or they’re asked to fund most of the government with their taxes.

Nobody says “no” to the white guy giving out charity, the white redneck pulling you out of a snowdrift with his truck or the “Cajun Navy” guy with a bass boat taking people out of their homes in a flood.

Of course, why should they say “no?” We’re all Americans, right? Race doesn’t matter, does it? If you’re stuck on your roof because of a flood, the race of the person that rescues you shouldn’t matter all that much.

Someone tell liberals that.

Do you think I’m overselling how anti-white liberals (even white liberals) have become? If so, here are just a few recent headlines.

Affinity Magazine wrote, “Actually... Straight White Men Are the Root of Our Problems.” The Root put out an article called “Polite White People are Useless.” A Boston University scholar said “Stephen King’s ‘It’ Is Bad Because It’s Full Of ‘White, Straight, Able-Bodied’ Males.” CNN also blamed ordinary people for being "white supremacists by default." There were people on Twitter hoping Hurricane Harvey would help “cleanse” Texas of white people. Then there was this comment from Munroe Bergdorf, the first transgender model hired by L’Oréal.

"Honestly, I don’t have energy to talk about racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people. Because most of ya’ll don’t even realize or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of color. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this sh*t. Come see me when you realize that racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited and consciously or unconsciously passed down through privilege. “Once white people begin to admit that their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth … then we can talk."

All of that happened in the last week and it’s very typical. Imagine being pummeled with that garbage daily on top of social media posts from legions of black liberals who hate white people or feminists who hate white men every bit as much as the KKK hates black Americans. It's a never stopping symphony of attacks on whites. How warped has the Left gotten on this issue? Well, CNN’s Sally Kohn says that all the following things, in one form or fashion, are “covert white supremacy.

* Make America great again

* Euro-centric curriculum

* Anti-immigration policies

* English only initiatives

* Cultural appropriation

* Believing we are post-racial

* But, we’re just one human family

* Claiming reverse racism

* Denial of white privilege

* Denial of racism

* Colorblindness

We could go on and on about this, but just think about the Orwellian ramifications of saying that “colorblindness” is a form of white supremacy. That’s as dumb as saying that opposing slavery is a form of black supremacy.

Although they hesitate to come right out and say it, the liberal line is either that you should hate yourself for being white or alternately attack other white people for their race, in hopes that you’ll get a pass from the white ‘guiltpocolypse’. That’s where the Left is today and it has real consequences for the country. Since liberals don’t care about the wellbeing of our nation, it’s worth noting that it has huge political consequences for them as well.  Just look what the New York Times had to say about the subject this week, The more white voters care about being white, the more they like President Trump.

In the wake of the presidential election, we’ve all been asking simplistic questions about how Donald Trump won. Was it economics? Was it racism? Was it misogyny? Did it come down to identity? We know that it can’t have been just one thing, and that President Trump’s triumph was a concoction of many things. Nonetheless, several factors came together in a peculiar way, with serious electoral consequences. Millions of white voters began to see themselves more openly not as white supremacists but as white identified.

Here's another way to put it: when you ENCOURAGE identity politics among black Americans and Latinos while regularly aiming vicious criticism at white Americans based on their race, many white Americans will vote accordingly after becoming sick of the abuse and the hypocrisy. Liberals have worked themselves into this weird place where they quite correctly condemn the KKK, white supremacists and Nazis, but encourage similar mentalities among minority groups because they believe it will benefit them politically. The more entrenched this disgusting mentality becomes, the more you can expect white Americans to act and vote like just another minority group. Does that sort of balkanization sound healthy? For example, do you think it would be good if white Americans had their own version of the NAACP designed to pursue their racial interests? Do you think white voters should explicitly vote for candidates because they share their race like black Americans often do? Should white Americans be given an explicit advantage in college entrances and government jobs for a few years to make up for all the years minorities were given preference over them because of their race via Affirmative Action? You can give every lame excuse in the book why it’s okay to spew hate at white Americans, but there are always consequences. Ultimately, nobody loves or respects someone who treats him like garbage because of something he can’t change.

Liberals should never forget that it is dangerous to mock people who believe in a color-blind America because eventually you may convince them that you’re right.

Blacks should be concerned about the 2050 projections as well; they will be living in the same Asian/Hispanic country as us.

Linebacker Christian Kirksey from the Cleveland clowns said "We're not protesting against them. We just have our reasons of why we're doing what we're doing."

Seems the players are a little upset because the Cleveland police and fire department refused to hold the flag while those stinking rats take a knee...

The liberals hate it when we fight back.....

What do you think about the Charles Murray “living wage” idea? - transfer $10,000 into every (all races, only documented citizens) over-18 person’s bank account; delete every welfare program and bureaucrat. Some amount would be a voucher for basic health insurance.

My 2 cents:
- get the Feds out; let each state run it (gather the money to pay for it, and determine (hopefully less) amounts)
- if they make it taxable, working people will send most of it back to the treasuries anyway

This is what Jared Taylor has been saying. We can do identity politics, too.

“...because when it comes to race, whites in general, refuse to stand up to specifically protect themselves...”

People have been bludgeoned with the notion of ‘white supreamacy’, the Klan, etc., to the point where to suggest whites even have a seat at that table labels one a fascist, Nazi, hater, racist, etc.

That is exactly right and shows how the left manipulates. The can move the right where they want them to go with so called ‘race baiting’ because it works.

All those farms in Africa, "given back" to the people are ran efficiently and producing splendidly.

As evidenced by the peace, tranquility and surplus of food in those nations...

...and there was still enough money left over to buy every acre of arable Farmland in the USA.

Was any left over to buy the mules needed to pay off on that "40 acres and a mule?" If so, then I'd say that seals the deal. Game over, payoffs/payouts are done - start pulling your weight. Trump is sending the job-sucking illegals home and work is there to be done. Choose one baby mamma and stop fornicating with every willing coochie that will hold still for the act. Figure out that honest work better supports the children you've produced. Give those kids a model of reality rather than letting them pick unacceptable models like the NFL and the NBA that are merely the publicly well-paid thugs that are just like the drug-dealers that infest your neighborhoods.

All other race groups have race specific representation.


I’m no supremacist. I was naturally insulted the last time I filled out a racial question. Now the school system has a long list of geographically determined races. At the bottom is the only group with a color.

African American
Hispanic, South or Central American
Asian
Pacific Islander
Arab, Middle Eastern
Native American
White

Excuse me, but in a list like this, where every category refers to a geographical location, why the hell isnt that last category European American?? It’s as if ONE RACE wasn’t good enough, as if they could just write “darkies” and that’s all those whities deserve. Why should ANY group bend over and take this crap? I don’t believe any race has superiority or inferiority. It’s all down to behavior.

The Frank Roosevelt Dems are dead. Their children are dying in numbers. Regions dominated by love for the Dem party due to traditional love for Roosevelt, such as WV, are looking for a new political home. Anarchists in the Dem party are helping them to make the decision.

Hey, now they are trying to attach “climate change” to those miserable conditions there (trather than black mismanagement).

My town provided one of the handful of Americans to die fighting for Rhodesia; while that fight was framed in terms of black & white, many blacks (seeing what had happened in the former colonies in East Africa and West Africa) fought for the white government with the intention of establishing a new country named “Zimbabwe Rhodesia” (which lasted less than a year, IIRC). Rhodesia briefly became a British possession again in order to hold supervised elections, and the modern miracle of Zimbabwe was born./s

I’m an Australian by birth. I know Australia isn’t considered an island but a continental land mass but New Zealand sure is. Would a white New Zealander be considered a Pacific Islander?

Have you ever been to NJ? There are many liberals here, but they are liberal on all things BUT RACE. It is very segregated here, and attempts to scatter white seeds in black areas (to re-colonize them with Western Civilization) fail miserably. Busing was tried here (and failed), and nobody has any misconceptions about race relations; even white college snowflakes are the children and grandchildren of the productive taxpayers chased out of the urban areas by the Simbas.

True, but they’re also concentrated there...and they’re not nearly enough to make up an electoral majority.

And beyond that, even those people have limits and, I’m convinced, will drift our way as they figure out that their kids are political punching bags.
