If You Don't Agree With Me, You're a Racist Who Likes Death Threats

On Monday, George Yancy, a black professor of philosophy at Emory University, wrote a lengthy piece in The New York Times detailing the awful death threats he has received from white racists. I can sympathize -- throughout 2016, I received my fair share of death threats. But Yancy sees those death threats as representative of a deeper malignancy plaguing all of white America, not a sickness within a subset of the population. Thus, he asks, "Should I Give up on White People?"

>>Thus, he asks, “Should I Give up on White People?”

Will he start by resigning from Emory? Which I would venture has a 90% white student body? No he will not.

[FreedomPoster]

Hmmm. Georgia has a pretty strong open records law. I should request the police reports of these death threats.

"The system is racist. As a white woman, I am responsible to dismantle that system as well as the attitudes in me that growing up in the system created.
I am responsible for speaking out when I hear racist comments."

Give this self loathing twit an all expense paid one week vacation living alone in a ghetto in Harlem, the south-side of Chicago, East St. Louis,
Washington, DC or Atlanta and she might not be so eager to dismantle civilization.

“”I am responsible for speaking out when I hear racist comments.””

Spoken by a supposedly white woman. What kind of racist comments does she hear? Most of us can go all year without hearing anyone in our presence say anything that could remotely be construed as racist.. Age old question - where do these people come from ??????

[Thank You Rush]

“”but these nutso people see racism EVERYWHERE””

Very true and yet that one statement was supposed to have been made by a white person...I guess it’s an epidemic that doesn’t touch the rest of us. Immunity? Perhaps..

I grew up as poor white rural. But I constantly heard
“you have a smart father and a smart mother, you figure it out.”

All blacks have heard growing up is ......................

No one alive in the United States has been involved in the slave trade.

Not so. There are folks in America that have been deeply involved in the slave trade.

Inshallah!

Yancey’s method:
1) Put out provocative statements.
2) Attract negative responses by the tiny percentage of the population he tried to provoke. My guess is that the death threats and hateful responses he has received come from .0000001 percent or less of the white population.
3) Don’t perform any tests to gauge whether people of other races respond to similar provocation in similar ways and in similar proportions.
4) Interpret that as evidence that all whites are uniquely racist and use it as the basis for more provocative statements.
5) Feel like this makes you profound and important.

The guy is a just another controversialist pushing a political agenda, using garbage anecdotal “evidence” he self-generates to fool the ignorant. Has there been, is there now, and will there be racism in America? Yes. Do controversialists make that better? Of course not. Based on Yancey’s comments, he is amplifying racism, which is his real intention. “The worse the better” is classic Leninism.

They don’t understand that white people aren’t out to get black people.... they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, the reflexive animosity.

The whole social justice concept is that people of exceptional ability must degrade themselves so that those less able feel better about themselves.

Here is George Yancy’s original column that supposedly generated all the hate mail and death threats:

Dear White America
https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/12/24/dear-white-america/

It was published December 24, 2015.

So 2+ years later, on April 16, 2018, he writes of all his death threats and such in this:

Should I Give Up on White People?
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/16/opinion/white-racism-threats.html

It takes him two years to discuss all the threats? Which, if they happened, would have almost certainly happened within a few weeks of the original publication, assuming anyone was paying attention to his writing. Which I doubt.

I call B.S. on the claimed volume of threats.

I’m giving up on George Yancy. Not on Black people, who I very much want to see be successful and happy, but on George Yancy.

[Retvet]

I have no facts to back my position. But I have seen black racism towards whites. But in my adult life all my best friends have been black. I say all because I moved frequently do my military career. I have a few race stories, for I worked for, with and supervised all races.

[Neoliberalnot]

Selling lies is a new source of income for this “professor” of philosophy, as he calls himself. I would be interested to hear his philosophy. Perhaps a copy of his syllabus for the class he teaches?

[Pining_4_TX]

If whites are so awful, then time to separate into different nations. Apparently whites can do nothing right.

But slandering white America in general for the crimes of a few bad apples is no better than slandering black America for the crimes of a few

The left is for racial profiling, but only when it fits their political agenda (rather than the facts.)

Few bad apples? That’s one way to ‘discredit’ the stats that show one group is the majority of said ‘bad apples’

[Vaduz]

If your a loser and never made anything of your life be a professor BS sells in schools now.

[Vigilanteman]

The whole social justice concept is that people of exceptional ability must degrade themselves so that those less able feel better about themselves.

Would that it were only directed against people of exceptional ability, but the SJW is also directed against people of normal ability who make normal effort, especially if they happen to be of the wrong colour.

[Cubs Fan]

Its all a tactic

The author of the original piece wrote a deliberately nasty op-ed insulting whites and of course there was a backlash. Some people said things that were over the top and he made hay of it.

I am more than certain big name conservatives get death threats all the time. they just don’t itemize them.

Separate but equal may work.

Come again?
