The Revolution Is Upon Us

From the essay:

...When Garza, Robin DiAngelo, Ibram X. Kendi, Patrice Cullors, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Hannah-Jones and the other charter members of the ultra-left speak of overthrowing “white supremacy” what they really mean is replacing America’s economic and cultural system with one that redistributes wealth, no longer has the individual at its center and recognizes only government-granted positive rights, not pre-political natural rights. The use of “white supremacy” is, thus, a very successful example of the left’s use of strategic ambiguity in the pursuit of a rather large and ambitious goal. The target is a free-market system that rewards hard work, ability and other virtuous traits.

Consider, for example, what Garza told a room-full of Maine progressives during a visit to the Pine Tree State last year: “Change requires changing ourselves so that we can change what’s happening around us. When we talk about fighting white nationalism, fighting white supremacy, we’re not talking about fighting white people. We’re talking about changing how we’ve organized this country, so that we actually can achieve the justice that we are fighting for. I believe we all have work to do to keep dismantling the organizing principle of this society, which creates inequities for everyone.” (Italics my own.)

This is also clear from an interview Garza gave Mother Jones three years ago, where she said, “Things like renaming holidays and removing statues are really a part of a culture-change strategy that I think is important. But it can’t stop there. We can change Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day, but if we’re not doing the work to make sure that indigenous nations have sovereignty in this country, or self-determination, or that they have a quality of life that mirrors that which we afford to rich white professionals, then it is merely symbolic. Whether it’s toppling monuments or closing the education gap or closing the school-to-prison pipeline, we need to uproot white supremacy everywhere that it lives.”

That talk of “white supremacy” aims not at David Duke or Richard Spencer, but at William Blackstone and John Locke, can be seen more clearly in the writings of DiAngelo and Coates, who have come closest to defining it...

Let me be the first to propose a monument to the new founders.

We can build right after we level the Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.

Critical Race theory and Systemic Racism pushed by the Left means there is no way for a white person to be innocent, or to be sorry for the past, or to try to improve.

So only tearing down the American system will be a “solution”.

CA already altered something recently (can’t remember what) to no longer include protection for all races. The reason is to discriminate against the whites and the whites cannot claim civil rights protection. This will be revenge for the supposed white supremacy all these hundreds of years.

Not sure if CA still has to be American enough to follow national civil rights laws——they don’t with their sanctuary cities which violate federal laws about fugitive illegal aliens, for example.

Long ago when predictions were made of certain years that the white majority would no longer be true of demographics in various areas, people said “I wonder if the whites being in the minority will bring the same aid and help as they gave to others after Martin Luther King’s marches.” Answer: Of course not. More like Rhodesia and South Africa, of course.

“Critical Race theory and Systemic Racism pushed by the Left means there is no way for a white person to be innocent, or to be sorry for the past, or to try to improve.”

That’s why most white people, of necessity, will eventually become a single political bloc.

Can’t wait for you to be right.

Like the wimpy fresh faced young men who meekly nod when their girlfriends say “Other than Hillary I think Elizabeth Warren makes the best case showing how all males are toxic and have made America an illegitimate sexist society.”
“Yeah, I agree.”

Hope more secretly vote Trump in the privacy of the polling place.

It all comes down to the same thing. They want to take things from people that are smarter and more capable than themselves. Criminals take by force. It’s because they are lazy and stupid.

“That’s why most white people, of necessity, will eventually become a single political bloc.”

MONEY QUOTE OF THE DAY!

Racial solidarity is fine & dandy for every other ethnic group on the planet, but if whites unite for reasons of sheer survival, well, that’s WACISSSS!!!”

OTOH, if Trump commands a significant portion of the black vote, then it gets complicated.

“Critical race theory” is confined to academia & Antifa for now, but someday every non-woke white person will be a target.

A target that will shoot back.

“Alicia Garza, founder of Black Lives Matter”

The founder of the terrorist BLM organization is in fact a descendant of the Spaniard Slavers, the brutal and cruel exploiters who brought the Africans to the Americas after they worked the Indians to death in Hispaniola and Nueva Espana, now called quaintly “Mexico”.

Maybe she should just cancel herself instead of advocating a new plantation system to be overseen by latter day Saracens with whips.

Equality under the Law Act of 1996 (the colorblind Act)

a concise take on its repeal via the national review:

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/06/california-abandons-equality-under-the-law/

It may be a surprise to some, but for a generation or two that has gotten used to taking what they want - illegal entry, illegal jobs, resources, education, taking over entire towns, etc., minorities now majorities have no feeling of obligation to be as generous towards Americans as we have been to them. Why should they when they just take what they want? Legally for now. para nosotros todo para ellos nada

“what they really mean is replacing America’s economic and cultural system with one that redistributes wealth, no longer has the individual at its center and recognizes only government-granted positive rights, not pre-political natural rights.”

That plan works until you get shot in the gut. Then you have about 15 minutes left to reconsider your distribution scheme.
