Demonizing White Men

Town Hall ^ | January 30, 2019 | Walter E. Williams

[Perseverando]

Rush Limbaugh's December 2018 Limbaugh Letter has an article titled "Demonizing White Men." It highlights -- with actual quotations from people in the media, academia and the political and entertainment arenas -- the attack on white men as a class. You can decide whether these statements are decent, moral or even sensible. Should we support their visions?

Don Lemon, a CNN anchorman, said, "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them." Steven Clifford, former King Broadcasting CEO, said, "I will be leading a great movement to prohibit straight white males, who I believe supported Donald Trump by about 85 percent, from exercising the franchise (to vote), and I think that will save our democracy." Teen Vogue, a magazine targeting teenage girls, wrote, "Not only is white male terrorism as dangerous as Islamic extremism, but our collective safety rests in rooting out the source of their radicalization." Economist Paul Krugman, a New York Times columnist, wrote a column titled "The Angry White Male Caucus," in which he explained, "Trumpism is all about the fear of losing traditional privilege."

There have been similar despicable statements made by academics. James Livingston, a Rutgers history professor: "OK, officially, I now hate white people. ... I hereby resign from my race. F--- these people." Stacey Patton, a Morgan State University professor: "There is nothing more dangerous in the United States than a white man who has expected to succeed and finds himself falling behind." Stony Brook University sociology professor Michael Kimmel explained, "White men's anger comes from the potent fusion of two sentiments: entitlement and a sense of victimization."

Then there's the political arena. Sen. Bernie Sanders: "There's no question that in Georgia and in Florida racism has reared its ugly head. And you have candidates who ran against (Andrew) Gillum and ran against Stacey Adams who were racist. ... And that is an outrage." Michael Avenatti, criticizing the GOP senators during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings: "These old white men still don't understand that assault victims and women deserve respect and to be heard." "What troubles me is ... they're all white men," commented former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm regarding GOP senators questioning Christine Blasey Ford at the Kavanaugh hearings. William Falk, editor-in-chief of The Week, said, "There's something odd about the overwhelming white maleness of Washington's current leadership."

Not to be outdone, entertainers have hopped on the demonizing-white-men bandwagon. Joy Behar, talking on ABC's "The View" about senators supporting Kavanaugh, said: "These white men -- old, by the way -- are not protecting women. They're protecting a man who is probably guilty." Actress Gabourey Sidibe, also on "The View," said: "Older white men are a problem, y'all, for everyone. We're all at risk." Moira Donegan wrote an article for The Guardian titled "Half of white women continue to vote Republican. What's wrong with them?" Renee Graham wrote a column in The Boston Globe that counseled, "Memo to black men: Stop voting Republican." Comedian Chelsea Handler tweeted, "Just a friendly reminder for the weekend: No white after Labor Day, and no old, white racist men after the midterms. Get out and vote."

That is just a partial list of statements that would be viewed and condemned as racist simply by replacing "white men" with "black men," "Mexican men" or "Asian men." You can bet the rent money that university presidents and media executives would sanction any of their employees for making similar broad, sweeping statements about nonwhite men. Suppose a white anchorman said, "Black people are the greatest murder threat in this country." I guarantee you that he'd be shown the door.

There are only two ways to explain the silence by people who should know better. Either they agree with the sentiments expressed or they are out-and-out cowards. Decent American people ought to soundly reject and condemn this brazen attack on white men. I think that the attack is on masculinity itself and that white men are a convenient scapegoat -- for now.

You say the stuff the mainstream media openly says about white men about blacks and they'll be the first to raise hell.

Look at Sarah Jeong's disgusting tweets. If you changed just one word in them - "white" to 'black' - would she have survived at The New York Times, or have been thrown out on her ass immediately? I think we all know the answer.

[Perseverando]

Thanks for posting. I will be reading them momentarily.

[I want the USA back]

They dehumanize, then they eliminate. Already in progress.

They plan to eliminate Whites, after taking all our money.

[Perseverando]

But the most “evil and dangerous” of all white men are middle aged and old white Christian men (in the eyes of the leftists.) They can’t deceive us. They can only kill us. We know the Truth and the Truth has set us free.

No taxpayer funds shall be used to procure any item, product, procedure, technique or treatment invented by a caucasian male.

Pass this Law then!!!

Complete lack of self awareness!

I like that idea, but it's much more likely that the left would make a law that reads "any item, product, procedure, technique or treatment invented by a caucasian male is hereby confiscated now belongs to the proletariat."

I don’t know what it is going to take for people to see what is going on. Just look at the situation in SA. It is on the verge of out and out genocide. The ironic thing is that in a couple of years after the perpetrators will be starving because they killed the people who grew all the food. Dark days ahead, I am afraid.

[Travis McGee]

CW2 Ping List.

The Left is gearing up for genocide, again. This time, in our modern American “identity politics” era, the designated scapegoats for socialist failure will be older conservative white Christian men.

But a genocide won’t happen easily in a country with 100s of millions of firearms in mostly conservative hands. The result will be civil war instead of genocide this time.

Already an excellent discussion thread in the comments at Townhall.

[oldasrocks]

It worked out so well in South Africa. What’s not to like?

[Travis McGee]

First they have to solve that sticky problem of disarming us.

Instead of a nice easy genocide, they’ll get a brutal civil war.

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Amen!

Like I tell those I hear saying this...God made us. He’s my maker....have the chat with Him and see how it goes!

They are bringing Jesus and don’t know it! Homosexuality, drugs and abortion. All three getting easier to access. Drugs cheap so taxpayers pay for them...how else do those without jobs afford all the luxuries and drugs?

I grew up in the South, in the 60’s and 70’s.

My father, brothers, uncles, cousins, and about half the people I knew were white men.

Did racism exist? Without a doubt. I won’t deny it. However, amazingly, blacks and whites were able to peacefully coexist in my rural area.

I can say, without any doubt as well, that I never heard any calls for black people, as a race, to be exterminated; I never heard anything nearly as vicious as what we hear now against white men.

The older I get, the more I believe that liberalism really is a mental disorder.

[TADSLOS]

People who don’t know what these are for shouldn’t be messing with people who do.

When white liberals talk about white men being the problem they exclude themselves. Their problem with white men is white conservative men who support Trump, but particularly white Christian conservatives.

[krug]

Old white man here. Soon to retire. Wife and I are looking for a place that is mostly older white people. I really don’t trust anyone else anymore, especially now.
