Dem Rep. Pressley says it's 'not good enough' for white people to not be racist: 'Come on, Becky'
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2020 | Douglas Ernst

Rep. Ayanna Pressley says non-racist white people need to essentially become activists if they want to be considered culturally “good enough” in 2020.

The Massachusetts Democrat recently spoke with comedian Samantha Bee about the George Floyd protests, racism in America, and the role of “Karen” and “Becky” — blanket terms for all white women — moving forward.

“Everyone will say, ‘Well, you know, I’m not a racist,’” Ms. Pressley told the host for a recent “Full Frontal” interview. “Yeah, great. That’s not good enough. What you need to be is anti-racist. And that means being intentional and deliberate and unapologetic and dismantling structural racism and systemic oppression, and not being afraid to call it what it is: white supremacy.”

I’m done with this shite and this BLM crap. The racism by blacks lately is right out there for all to see. Whether people on TV, in office or the average person on the street they can go f themselves.

The author here, apparently does not know some things. “Karen” has a specific meaning and is NOT a “——blanket term[] for all white women.”

We are sick of this entire racist BS. It is consuming, dividing and destroying this country. It is and has been all this nation can talk about and it should embarrass every black person, that they are being portrayed as so handicapped by their color that they continually need help. I wish the first slaves were immediately sent back to the black slave traders who sent them here, mostly because it was terribly wrong, but also because centuries later, white people today are still paying for it. A civil war wasn’t enough, riots aren’t enough, and now we have to be lectured on what we HAVE to believe.

The smugness of these racists is breathtaking. I think the violent rebellion starts that second Wednesday in November. Hold your hat folks. I used to think CW 2 was a conspiracy theory, not so sure now. We are seeing the model for it in Seattle. Instead of states seceding, we will have counties and cities. Daring Trump to step in. With no re-election to worry about I think they should be more rational. Violent protesters firing on the national guard, then the real shooting starts. Some parts of corporate America rebels also, refusing to pay taxes and supporting the rebels. After a short and bloody conflict with little support, guns and logistics, the radical left fails and it collapses. Starting with the universities and public sector. Successful rebellions have attainable goals, logistical support, and an armed force committed to the cause. The hipster left and SJW army has none of these things. Just anger and that goes nowhere.

I have a friend who is one of the most level headed, down to earth, practical people I have ever met.

He is not into wild speculation or conspiracy theories, but 2-3 years ago, he told me that he sees this country heading into civil war. I was shocked that he said that, but could not agree with him more. When he said that, that’s when I knew to take it seriously.

They are discussing contingency plans to get out of where they live now. He has some resources, but needs to be better prepped.

We’ll be as settled and prepped as possible. I am doing my shopping with that thought in mind.

When are blacks going to stop being racist?

Most violent crimes are black on white.

I think your friend is absolutely right, and the only way to avoid a bloody civil war is to partition the US into at least four countries. It’s simply failing as a 50-state entity.
