I get what the peerless Jen Palmieri was getting at a week ago. She was doing the liberal thing, hurling a liberal pejorative at Kellyanne Conway, breaker of the glass ceiling. She was playing the liberal race card. And if “raaaciss” doesn’t immediately come to mind, “white supremacist” will do the job.
Do liberals actually go to school to learn how to do this?
But still, I wonder. What exactly does “white supremacist” mean? Let us repair to the teachable moment of In the Heat of the Night when a black policeman arrives in a southern town to investigate a murder. The message is unmistakable. We liberals can send a black policeman down to the Deep South and you losers will like it. But still, there is a question. Is the marquee white supremacist the southern landowner icily showing Sidney Poitier around his orchid conservatory? Or is the real white supremacist the Rod Steiger police chief? Or the pathetic twitching soda jerk who actually dunnit?
Asking the question is the tactic offered by conservative criminology professor Mike Adams in advising a student who was told by his instructor that saying “all lives matter” is racist. You ask your liberal pejorative hurler three questions, writes Adams, and the first question is: “What do you mean by racism?”
It’s easy for Mike to say. He’s the tenured professor that won his suit against his university for denying him promotion to full professor. A student can’t afford to go up against the system, because the system has the power to wipe out the student’s investment in a college education.
At some point, we typical Americans have to stop doing the Cringe, and get right back in the liberal faces.

The closest I can come is my dad says my grandfather had an uncle that was a Klan member 100 years ago. I tried telling a black co worker the Klan didn’t exist fifteen years ago and he insisted one of his black buddies showed him a “membership application” that they swore proved the Klan did exist.
I tried telling him, “Look, I am (at that time) a 50 year old white conservative amateur competitive shooter” don’t you think at some point in my life they would have asked me to join?”. He just would not accept it. He was worse than TG on the Twin Peaks threads. I mean I have been asked to join, at one time or another, the Mormons, the Masons, Jehovah’s witnesses, you name it but in all these years not a peep from the Klan.
ONCE, in all my motorcycle journeys across America, I met ONE person, who never SAID anything to make me suspect him of being a White Supremacist, who had a tattoo that indicated that he WAS. And it was under his sleeve, so I only saw it briefly.
One lonely biker who didn’t say much...not really a big problem for America.
No! I’ve been called lots of things for saying that the ARMY had only one color - Army Olive Green.
Therefore if you are against Common Core and would rather see kids get a Classical education you are a white supremacist.
If you want people to work for a living so they can make their own way in the world you are a white supremacist.
If you believe in a civil and polite society you are a white supremacist.
If you believe in law and order and not in mob rule you are a white supremacist.
I could go on but you get the point. The left hates America, hates Western values. They think that labeling it White Supremacy will help them gain followers and let them continue to destroy the culture of this country. It's also a way for them to put Americans on the defensive. If enough people in the media pick up the mantra, right and wrong won't matter. You will just be labeled a White Supremacist and you will have to jump through hoops to prove you're not.
The best defense is to not buy into their premise in the first place. Tag them as Anti-American haters and move on to defending the policy of jobs, fair trade, and a free society.
Seriously? Where are you meeting these people?
And how do you define “supremacist”? How far out on the spectrum are they?
Very well said. I have come to the exact same conclusion. I now translate "white supremacist", as used by the globalists, to "pro-Western Civilization".
They hate the USA most of all as it is the pinnacle of Western Civilization and the good it has brought and brings to mankind. They also hate the constitution which hinders their efforts to destroy the USA.
“Oh, come on. I’ve known white supremacists or Nazis. There are not that many, but they are around.”
There are probably more around than one realizes, I’ve met not necessarily known a bunch. I once visited a friend in the south and when visiting her friends with her, most residences visted had a photograph of the father in his Klan robes on the mantle or displayed prominently. That was interesting.
I actually don’t mind talking with them because they are funny as heck, and don’t realize it.
Funny about bass players ;’}
Awright, you guys!!! Bass player here (ok, so I’m not all that great, but hey!) is getting a complex!! This is the thanks we get for keeping you 6 stringers straight?
ROFL!!
There are probably more around than one realizes,.... I call BS on your post.
Well said. I have come to the same conclusion.
A neighbor in childhood. I think someone who openly admires Hitler and hates minorities qualifies as a white supremacist.
And Bill when Obama was elected he told someone at a party that a year ago Obama would have been serving them coffee.
Never known one personally. I grew up in Chattanooga, TN. There were some that lived atop Signal Mountain, TN. One was quite infamous a fairly long time ago...they made a movie about his actions.
By far, the most racism I ever witnessed was in Boston, MA and surrounding towns and Providence, RI. I lived in New England almost 20 years as an adult. Still quite racially/ethnically segregated. I have children still up there. I am glad to be back in the south where we mostly get along and have no problem with different races in the neighborhoods. Of course, there are some areas in the south where white men wouldn’t be welcome. But I don’t see it the other way around, really. That’s my experience, anyhow.
If one says school integration is a failure, is he automatically a white supremacist?
None.
They talk like it’s still 1940. I’ve known some people that will use the N-word but even they clarify that they differentiate between “black people” and N-ers. The N-word being directed at the gang-thug attitude. The same people having black friends who share the same opinion.
I’m sure there’s Neo-Nazi types out there but I’ve never known any. You’re more likely to find the skinhead racist in the UK.
Just a few racism incidents from my younger days.
1967 - first year of school integration in our southern town. On the bus, headed for my first day of fourth grade. We stopped to pick up two little black boys. Several kids yelled out, “Hey snowball!”... and other epithets. By the end of the year, things settled down.
Early 1980s getting a 3 dollar haircut in east Memphis. Little barber shop full of old white guys just hanging out. The talk got so racist in there that I never went back.
I think that the first thing that needs to be done before anyone attempts to answer this question is, “exactly how do you define the term White Supremacist?”
Agreed.
