The Left! It's as useless as trying to communicate with an insolent adolescent. He's pulling his hair out and blaming us for his actions.
This was, in essence, a trap–a perfect narrative for skeptics of anti-racist work to mock and discredit every white anti-racist ally in the world by tarring them with Rachel Dolezal’s spray-on bronzer. The community of obnoxious right-wing pundits is capering with giddy joy right now, piling on en masse to declare Dolezal’s fraudulent life story proof that black Americans’ “victimhood narrative” is generally fraudulent, by the same logic, I suppose, that would take stolen valor as proof that war never actually happens.
No. Rachel Dolezal fit YOUR "victimhood narrative" and it blew up in your faces - quite spectacularly.
ALL the good people that have been pilloried by Salon and now Rachel Dolezal is giving them heartburn but we can't comment because...... Tell me again why we can't turn our heads and look at this train wreak of liberal piety blowing up in their faces?
Note to author: The U.S. President is black.
Clinton was allowed to be the first black president.
That was beautifully phrased CW.
Her next book will be called:
“How to Game the Racial Grievance Industry for Fun,Fame, and Profit!”
They never rationalize the weirdo single-instance enemy of theirs like this, they broad brush all opposition like the ne guy then. They find all their dem buddies and run their quotes that the entire opposition is this way, its an endemic /systemic problem...
Salon holds true to form. Where wordy idiots go to stroke off.
How dare we treat them like they treat us.
Tell me again why it’s OK to post sewage from Salon here, but items from “racist” publications are banned?
There's a long line of people faking racial or sexist hate crimes against themselves.
And as for checking the box, there's poster girl Elizabeth Warren.
Arthur Chu became a minor celebrity when he won Jeopardy! 11 times in a row using an unorthodox strategy that riled fans. But he lost his final game back in March so, theoretically, his 15 minutes of fame should be over. Theoretically.
Except now he's redirected his broad intelligence to blogging about culture, and of the five articles he's published on The Daily Beast, two have already gone wildly viral. He's tackled homophobia, racism and sexism with unconventional arguments often told from the point of view of a “nerd.” In fact, Salon aptly coined Chu’s style as “nerdsplaining.” And so begins Chu’s new role: social justice warrior.
Rachel Dolezal is the logical, expected outcome of Progressive thinking and the Progressive narrative.
Progressives should be celebrating her as their crowning achievement.
Conservatives get involved in sex, drugs, and money scandals, but just about never these kinds of these bizarre scams. Liberals are virtually the only types who get involved with stunts like this.
Project much Mr Chu?
50% black.
Which begs the question, "If 50% black is black, and 0% black is not black, then at what percentage of black is it okay to claim the benefits of being black?"
25%? 0.25%?
For anyone not interested in reading Arthur Chu’s lengthy self-pity diatribe, allow me to provide a summary:
“Its not FAIR that Conservatives are now using the same tactics we’ve used against them for the past few decades!”
The worst racism exercised by modern white people is what GWB called “The soft bigotry of low expectations.”
"Worst people in the world", he says. You ridiculous four-eyed ass.
This Arthur Chu character conveniently forgets all the countless incidents of phony 'hate crimes' perpetrated by minorities in recent years. Some of these apparently even being conducted by the very woman he's writing about.
Listen here, Pho-breath: The American people have had quite enough of your side's fraudulent orchestrations of racial discord seeking to theatrically invent conflict where none existed before.
Go wrap yourself in chains and throw yourself off a bridge if you want to, for all I care. Just don't pretend to be Emmett Till when you do it.
“The real reason I’m mad at Rachel Dolezal is that people have been waiting for this story, licking their chops for it, op-eds already written in their heads long before they’d ever heard the name “Rachel Dolezal,” just waiting for a name to slot into it.”
Really???
“the cause of black liberation...”
They were liberated over a hundred years ago. If they want any more liberation, they are free to liberate themselves to some other country.
