NPR’s racial grievance site promotes hardcore Marxism
American Thinker ^ | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 08/30/2020 3:57:06 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

While NPR relies on public funding, no one would claim that it is non-partisan. Worse, while the main site is pro-Democrat in its approach, it turns out that Code Sw!tch, its minority-focused site, is pro-Marxist. There’s no other way to explain its friendly interview with Vicky Osterweil about her recently published book, In Defense of Looting.

It’s unclear how much federal money flows to NPR. NPR maintains it gets 3% of its budget from the public, while others say it gets up to 25%. Whatever it gets, that’s more than taxpayers should be paying.

In 2013, NPR launched Code Sw!tch, a race-based site that publishes articles from a racial victim-centric perspective. That’s how NPR ended up publishing “One Author’s Argument ‘In Defense of Looting,’” as part of its “America Reckons with Racial Injustice” series.

*snip*

Taxpayer-funded Code Sw!tch helps promote Osterweil’s Marxism by providing a useful hyperlink for Osterweil’s next sentence: “The very basis of property in the U.S. is derived through whiteness and through Black oppression, through the history of slavery and settler domination of the country.” The NPR-provided link goes to a 1993 Harvard Law Review article by Cheryl Harris entitled “Whiteness as Property.”

To her credit, because at least she’s consistent, Osterweil hates everyone. She says both Trump and the Democrats are lying when they blame “outsiders” for looting.

A truly insane theory that looting is OK because of insurance. Looting is a mob tearing through the fabric of civilization. If looting is OK, lynch mobs are next.

Here's how the Marxists use race as a tool:

To the regular American, they ask:

MAYBE, at the beginning (1970), NPR/PBS/CPR was an offset against the Broadcast Three of ABC/CBS/NBC, BUT TODAY, with the internet and cable? Then you add this clear and absolute bias against 50% of the electorate?

So, you swamp dwellers and tax sucking parasites, it should be EASY to replace a mere 3¢ on the dollar to keep you going. In the words of Oliver Cromwell; "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!" (1653)

There is no scientific basis for the term “race.” We are the product of relentless mgration and adaptation. We do have resdieual DNA from a previous species in us—the Neanderthals. But Homo Sapiens are one genetically aike, The English used to call the Irish the “Irish Race”. That’s after they threw them off their own land and strved them to death. Then the Americans out West called the Chinese building the railroads the “Chinese Race.” But bottom line, if there is no such thing as “race”, then there is no such thing as “racism”—just gross stupidity. Cultural Marxism is a construct of meaningless abstractions with no connection to the real world. “Dialectical materialism” is total bullshit—thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Hot dog, mustard and relish has more substance and relation to reality than all of Marx’s theoretical, German Idealism nonsense.

SCREW MARX and all the intersectionality, homophobia, transphobia, racism, toxic masculinity, patriarchy, political correctness, and critical theory. It’s all CULTURAL MARXISM invented because communism has never worked economically anywhere it has been tried. So they invented all this crap to brainwash our youth into thinking that America is not legitimate. Slavery is still legal in 5 countries in Africa and the middle east. America abolished slavery in the 19th Century. Reconcile that, leftist professors.
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVIL ACADEMIA HAS BECOME.

And there is no longer any definition of the term "racism" (i,.e., it's fluid, like gender).

The very basis of property in the U.S. is derived through whiteness and through Black oppression, through the history of slavery and settler domination of the country.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

NPR has been using our tax dollars to redefine US history over the last 40 years according to Marxist/Socialist doctrine. Now if they achive Venezuela 2.0 in America, they will indeed lose their funding. There just won’t be any tax dollars for them.

But to the instant point, this NPR vision of history is a drastic change from examining the social movements which truly created the USA, such as the expansion West according to the ideology of “Manifest Destiny.” We are supposed to forget about all of that now?

Buahahahahahahaha!

Screw NPR. You can read a genuinely balanced US history concerning Manifest Destiny here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_destiny

Those ideals of American exceptionalism , and a positive view of Americas preservation of human freedoms around the world,still energize America and President Donald Trump.Our country will never abandon them to Marxist ideological tripe propaganda published by NPR and their treasonous, unpatriotic running dog AOC commies.

Exactly—it is a political construct to be used to divide and conquer. “RACISM” is a razor or a sword or a bullet or a partition or a tank or a cannon or whatever they want it to be at the moment. The Frankfurt School started this crap in 1926 when they moved from Germany to Columbia University. They were very clear that they were on a mission to destroy America using Marxist-inspired abstractions no one could define or understand to defeat “capitalism”. Capitlaism of course is another derogatory term thaat implies that only people with “capital” can succeed. Given their background in Europe one can understand why they would think that. However, what capital did Steve Jobs have when he built the first Apple computer in his garage? What capital did the Wright Brothers have when they put an engine on a plane built with bicycle parts?

In America, al things are possibel. it’s even possibel to completely disinfect our institutions of higher learning of the scourge of CULTURAL MARXISM. President Trump has beun by insisting on the primacy of the First Amendment in Academia. Good start, but it will take years.
