Why is it socially acceptable to ridicule white people based on their skin color?
Washington Examiner ^ | May 30, 2022 | Christopher Tremoglie

With all the (alleged) social justice activism recently, we are supposed to be living in a nirvana of racial equality. We are supposed to be sensitive to anything that could be perceived as a racial bias, as it could offend others. We were warned that what some find humorous, others may find hurtful and insulting, and we must curb our speech. And, in an effort to treat everyone fairly, we have been told we must stop the aggression in our speech — both micro and macro. Yet all of these guidelines get completely ignored when it comes to one specific group: white people.

Consider the most recent comments made by basketball player Andre Iguodala on an episode of Point Forward, a podcast hosted by former basketball player Evan Turner. Iguodala marveled over the skills of Luka Doncic, a basketball player of Slovenian origin for the Dallas Mavericks.

"Luka Doncic, this white boy is a problem, and it's getting to the point where I don't think he's white anymore," Iguodala said.

While Iguodala meant this as a compliment, it still came with the implication that white people are inferior when it comes to basketball — and other athletics. Iguodala was surprised at Doncic's skill level because of his white skin color and couldn't believe a white person could be so good at basketball.

Believing a particular race is inferior .....

Simply put, white people are held to different standards when it comes to comments made about people's race. They are supposed to remain quiet and accept whatever ridicule they receive — even if the same type of ridicule would be deemed offensive if said about people of color. And then, if one protests this double standard, many on the Left dismiss their objections as white supremacy.

The left dehumanizes those they want to kill.
Everybody they mass murdered in history, they first dehumanized them.

Because converting America to a dictatorship requires suppression of the one class of people who will resist.

Because white people are afraid of being called racist and un-white people aren't.

We need affirmative action in the NBA and NFL because the current racial makeup of the leagues doesn’t “look like America”.

When I initially moved to Florida, one woman in an interview told me to "get a tan". I'm Northern European descent and it was winter. I also don't tan well, I burn. Either way I went on and got the job, but "white shaming" comes from white people as well. Made a huge impression on me because so many white people wanted to be tan (this was 40 years ago.) Remember "tanning booths" (Cancer cans)? Why? Because at the end of the daytan skin is considered healthy or attractive.

I married a morena with long black hair down to her hips to this day. Our kids turn brown talking about going outside, collect MAGA hats and completely understand the disaster and danger posed by the scumbag socialist democrats. Problem solved.

“With all the (alleged) social justice activism recently,”

Non-woke companies should start making shirts, hats, bumper stickers, etc., that say, “SOCIAL JUSTICE IS NO JUSTICE”.

And if they call us “whitey”, then an effort should be made to call them “blacky”.

We are supppsed to be treating one another equally before the law. But some (and more by the year) would rather simply “get even.” And that takes the form of broad-brush abuse/punishment of caucasians for perceived injustices committed in the past by their forebearers at the hands of the progeny of their alleged victims.

Liberals don’t REALLY want to get along.

They’re all about division and bullying.

I never heard the term 'morena' so when I looked it up this is what I found.

MORENA is a major Mexican left-wing political party.

I imagine there are other definitions that might apply in your case.

Not pushing back has caused a lot of problems. I’ve said for many years that “their” side uses thuggish behavior while “our” side are rotary and garden club members.

Because communism has finally become socially acceptable—even popular—and Whitey has been identified as the obligatory “oppressor.”

To: anyone

I think the causes area little deeper and more sinister. (New world order wants to destroy USA demographics as a way to institute internationalism—-you know Frankfurt school. So they push a public narrative that demonizes whites).

Anyway I came across this and posted it on FB. After watching I don’t see how anyone can deny conspiracy:

As it has been explained to me, one should always take even the worst insults and threats with a calm, smiling demeanor and be ready to take a joke and laugh at oneself. No matter how bad it gets. Even when they’re throwing rocks.

Every now and then, someone will say to me, “you look familiar.”

My usual retort is, “I understand, old white guys look alike.”

Sometimes, people get the joke, some don’t. Those that don’t are too uptight.

White achievement can’t be denied. So they are trying to destroy it. I’m sure that will work out well for them...
