White supremacy could be issue that 'ends this country,' [Buttigieg] says [ed]
ABC News ^ | July 21, 2019 | Staff

Posted on 07/21/2019 4:31:35 AM PDT by C19fan

All of the Democratic presidential candidates have condemned Donald Trump's racist comments directed at four congresswomen last week, and the chants of "send her back" directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar at a rally a day later, but Pete Buttigieg took it a step further on Saturday.

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, was stumping in Iowa over the weekend, where he told ABC News that the issue of white supremacy -- an accusation often lobbed at Trump by the left -- "could be the lurking issue that ends this country."

The mayor said the current climate could escalate, going as far as to mention the Civil War.

"That is the only issue that almost ended this country. … We’ve had a lot challenges in this country, but the one that actually almost ended this country in the Civil War was white supremacy," Buttigieg said. "It could be the lurking issue that ends this country in the future, if we don’t wrangle it down in our time."

The white supremacists collectivey are not even one one hundredths of one percent of the total population of the whites.

You are not getting it.

As far as the radical Left is concerned,

if you have ANY resistance to the idea of "reparations";

if you have ANY opposition to the idea that unqualified minorities should be given preference in college admissions, hiring, and promotions;

it you have ANY opposition to the idea that the entire Third World should be allowed free entry to the US, and given immediate voting rights

Then you are a "white supremacist"

Critical Race Theory and the concepts of white privilege and white supremacy was posited by communists because they could not explain why blacks do so poorly on the liberal plantation. There must be some invisible white power that forces too many blacks to behave in a self destructive manner.

There has not been a examination or push back to Critical Race Theory which has allowed it to grow like a cancer. Whites have been too reticent to object to the false allegations of racism. Any opposition to the left’s agenda is now an example of racism.

Mayor Pete is right to worry about a civil war. The ultimate goal of Critical Race Theory is to force whites to submit to black (communist) supremacy. Whites are not going to peaceably volunteer to be slaves.

“An honest discussion about race” means we sit down, shut up, and accept the Leftist claptrap Pete is pushing. Incontrovertible facts aren’t welcome.

93% of Black men who are murdered are killed by other Black men. Source: http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/bvvc.pdf#page=3

Blacks commit 50% of all murders, despite being only 12% of the population. Source: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43

In just two years, more blacks were killed by other blacks than died from 80 years of lynching. Source: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/28/5-devastating-facts-black-black-crime/

90% of interracial violence between blacks and Whites is committed by Blacks. The ratio should be 1-1. Source: http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials-viewpoint/082613-668778-epidemic-of-white-on-black-violence-is-a-fraud.htm?p=full

They are seeing white supremists like Mccarthy was seeing Communists. Except the communists were a real threat.

I believe I get it too well. The strength of a nation is in it’s unified voice.

The marxist muslim coalition is doing everything they can to fracture that identity and that voice. That is what BHO was about, the destruction of America.

“white supremacy” is the.. current boogieman, next month it will be something different.

I think that this castigation is here to stay, at least until all the victim groups can eliminate or enslave the evil white population. Just as the issue of "racism" has flourished since the '60s, the Left has been salivating at the prospect of condemning Whitey in perpetuity. Now that the issue is out of the bag, white supremacy is not going to disappear.

White Supremacy is too good a label to toss aside since it is quickly being applied to all the hated groups despised by the Left, i.e., Christians, patriots, Republicans, conservatives, the military, law enforcement, etc.

You get the picture..

But it’s __not__ what “took out” Sodom and Gomorrah.

Racism and hatred of whites is, unfortunately, flourishing in this world. Anti-white racism is the ONLY racism in the world that is condoned and encouraged.

The whites in South Africa are either under assault, murdered, or fleeing.

These people are beating “race” to death so if it is the cause of America’s demise; it will be because they are beating this dead horse ever minute of every day.

In other words the dems are trying to kill America and what it stands for as one nation under God.

The way the Left currently functions is to assign everyone toa camp, where those who seek to politicize you because of forced association, nothing the Left does as the Left is really ever voluntary, speak for you politically, determining what should be your best interest based on their ideology. The Left uses people, plain and simple.

Thus we see talk about things like needing black voices, not just black faces, and a valid black voice is on the submits to the agenda of those lumping black persons into a group on the Democrat race and gender identity plantation. Like in many similar circumstances having a black face is insufficient to speakin with a black voice.

So look at the proposition in terms that the Woke Left employs.

Whites too have a camp on the Left’s plantation where their race determines what their attitudes should be. If a white person does not conform adequately to those attitudes they are by default oppressors. The Woke Left, drawn as it currently is from socialistic / communistic thought, is largely incapable of seeing that things like patriotism or wanting your nation and its culture to endure, or wanting your own people to survive on their land, is in anyway different than National Socialism.

An ideology that used to posit the notion of homelands for all groups has naturally passed on to demanding ethnically or culturally European nations not only do NOT have a right to homelands (because Nazism) they do not have a right to exist ... because if you aren’t open borders, prochoice, homofriendly, Islamofriendly, intersectional etc and you are white you are an oppressor and are off the reservation, a Deplorable, and in the view of the Woke Left you may as well be a Nazi.

The Woke Left are Godwin’s Stepchildren.

".... All of the Democratic presidential candidates have condemned Donald Trump's racist comments directed at four congresswomen last week....

It's disturbing to see again that ABC, instead of objectively reporting on the president's comments, decided to take sides and claim his comments were "racist".

President Trump never mentioned "race" or "color" in his comments and yet the entire democRAT party and the entire media, immediately pull out their well-worn race cards and throw them at the president.

These constant "racist" accusations are getting to the point of being like the boy who cried wolf.

After so much bigoted vitriol spewed at Mr. Trump, these racist allegations start to mean nothing to most Americans.

They’re all saying any stupid thing they can to distract from the Epstein affair.
