University Of California Guide: Saying “I’m Not Racist” Is Racist
Tea Party ^ | 3-14-2018

“Microaggression” list scorns would-be bigots

An official University of California list of racist “microaggressions” asserts that saying “I’m not racist” is racist.

The university guide defines microaggressions as, “everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.”

Examples listed on the university’s official website include telling someone, “you speak English very well,” telling an Asian person that they are good at math and insisting that “America is a melting pot”.

Using the phrase, “I’m not racist, I have several black friends” is also listed as an example of “racism”.

Radio host Dennis Prager highlighted some other examples, which include saying, “There is only one race, the human race,” and also remarking, “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.” Thinking that, “America is the land of opportunity” is also racist, according to the guide.

A white woman who clutches her purse or bag when approached by a black or Latino person is also committing a racist microaggression, according to the guide. Asking non-white people why they are being quiet or loud is also racist.

We’ve previously reported on other universities that use similar guidelines for “microaggressions,” including the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which launched a campaign that claimed using the term “politically correct” as a pejorative is a politically incorrect “microaggression”.

A “Bias-Free Language Guide” posted on the University of New Hampshire website also asserted that the word “American” is “problematic” because it “assumes the U.S. is the only country inside [the continents of North and South America].”

Other discouraged words and phrases included, “obese,” “normal,” “mothering,” “fathering,” “homosexual,” “illegal alien,” and “senior citizens.”

I'm retired now.

A couple of years ago I looked at the whole mess and just decided to quit playing.

I sit on my porch a lot and practice saying "Get Off My Lawn".

Perhaps we need to throw their own arguments back at them: racism is nothing more than a social construct that is being used to oppress and silence dissenting voices and to justify violence against people based on the color of their skin.

Therefore, as people of European ancestry, we will no longer allow you to define our experience or tell us what to think.

Also, saying "I'm racist" is racist.

If saying, I'm not racist" is racist, then "I'm racist" is not racist.

Have I got it right yet? I'm not real good at liberal "logic".

Lenin and Stalin shot the advance people who agitated and initiated the revolution. Troublemakers by nature, they can’t be trusted.

Reminds me of this - “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.”

Because they are true believers. They can be trouble. They can turn on their communist overlords, so they are marched out one morning, early in the revolution, lined up against a wall and shot. They outlive their usefulness.

Proverbs 24:21-22 King James Version (KJV)

21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?


Although I didn’t agree with his interpretations a lot of the time, one prophecy teacher used to quote v. 21 in obvious reference to Obama — I’m sure it passed over the heads of most listeners. That was Hilton Sutton. I give him credit for quoting that one.

As for verse 22.....well, I’ll let ya guess on what I think with that one in regards to the “change” folks from v.21.

These two, it seems, didn’t think it through until it was too late. Still, some of the liberals STILL could not figure it out.

Somebody noted that an idiot liberal said of the gal (paraphrased) “Her liberal beliefs probably helped her get through (her own murder)”.

You cannot fix people this stupid.

“Just a few days after she was photographed with Nancy Pelosi grinning in approval, friends found Mehiel tied up, stabbed, tortured, and ultimately dead at the hands of El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure, a black man arrested driving her car and using her debit card.

He said he didn’t do it.”

“Her belief in black victimization came, she said, at an early age when her mother read to her the book that would change her life: It Takes a Village, by Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

“Some liberals, most of which are ego-soaked, look for ways to support their self-perceived importance so they champion imaginary causes for that purpose,” Newburn said. “They are adult-children who feel free to construct fantasies about their greatness. Their narcissism in part functions to blind them to inconvenient realities. So to compensate, they idealize the targets of their misdirected and pathological ‘caring.’”

Reading madness like this makes me wonder how the entire world just doesn’t go ape$hit on each other.

That's the lefts goal.

What they don't seem to get is that they are not going to escape in the long run.

When everything comes crashing down, the economy and production drops, things will simply not be available any more.

They are shooting themselves in the foot and don't even know it.
