The first person to own another person in what would become The United States was a black man. Does that put all black people on the hook for reparations? How about all the black and arab folks involved in the slave trade in Africa? Colossally stupid idea.
https://www.theroot.com/slavery-by-the-numbers-179 0874492 "Here’s an interesting one: “Over a million Europeans were held as slaves from the 1530s through the 1780s in Africa, and hundreds of thousands were kept as slaves by the Ottomans in eastern Europe and Asia,” writes Alan Gallay in his essay “Indian Slavery in the Americas” for the Gilder Lehrman Institute. “In 1650,” Gallay adds, “more English were enslaved in Africa than Africans enslaved in English colonies.”"
Them evil Africans keepin' down the white man.... shhhhh, you can't say that!
My understanding is that Twitter claims that posting threats of violence to be in violation of their policies. First off, this is a pretty crazy interpretation of that policy, when the victim of the threats is posting video of the threat makers. But if that was all that was involved, it would be a simple matter of deleting the tweet and be done with it. Shutting down the entire account of a political campaign though, is way out of line. Once more piece of evidence of these companies trying to stifle conservative voices IMO.
When getting math problems correct is White Privilege, then bridges are racist. A bridge designed by an older, not woke oppressor, ( skin color doesn't matter ) will be safe if corruption doesn't steal the rebar. A bridge design by one of the above activist's students may collapse while under construction, if lucky.
The only difference between math and woke math is, well, math & truth. The equation that calculates stress on a wing spar works no matter what color your hair or country you were born in.
Today's challange. Find an actual white supremacist in American politics.
Someone with power, or running for office.
There is Just Joe Biden, who doesn't have a figurative dog whistle, but a police whistle, so obvious that it's ignored with a wince by Regressives.
Every Democrat pol who loudly insists blacks are too stupid to get photo ID.
That "former" Hillary supporter who created an internet organization to go riot in Charlottesville .
And I knew one at work, in a company with thousands of employees locally, over 25 years, argue was a contractor's employee that sat at a desk and pushed a button to let people in. ( private security guard firm, not Company employed )
The cause of all this "white supremacy" talk these days is the Left's insistence on tribalism. They CALL it "equality"...but all it does is separate everyone based on their tribe - gender. Color. Sexual preference. It is 100% divisive.
We're not black Americans; we're not white Americans; we're not Mexican-Americans or gay Americans or transvestite Americans or male Americans or female Americans.
WE'RE AMERICANS. No qualifier needed. And that's something our President understands - and gets called "racist" for. He DOESN'T point out our differences...so that makes him a racist.
I am just tired.....We have had a couple of shootings last weekend by a guy that hated mexicans because they would interfere with the implementation of the "Green new deal" and a guy that was an Elizabeth Warren supporter and the liberal left lost their mind and immediately started blaming President Trump and Republicans and NRA members and anyone else that don't reside in their bubble...but I am really tired...
To get votes from illegal aliens criminal trespassers, minority criminals, and hippie wannabe rich, the Democrat Party has firmly become anti cop, anti law, and anti American. Never mind they passed the laws they now complain about, never mind they wrote and passed the racist immigration laws, never mind their Demi-god Obama both openly slandered police, promoted race hate, and simultaneously ordered harsh enforcement of drug laws he himself frequently violated.
That last is a near perfect metaphor for the power hungry path of his Party.
Trump is a racist sucking up to the Coloreds, by discussing prison sentencing reform. So say the people who simultaneously send hundreds of thousands of black Americans to jail for crimes like possession of marijuana while driving interstate to buy gourmet, organically grown, free range, gluten free pot at boutique stores, with names like Hindu Kush & Grape Ape.
It's odd that those living in an oppressive regime, our flag and National Anthem are symbols of hope and role model. Here in our country, the left sees them as symbols of oppression and bigotry to be shunned, while promoting policies that would turn us into an oppressive regime.
Because it's what THEY want...and like a temperamental five year old, they'll throw a tantrum and hold their breath till they turn purple if we don't give them what they want.
Because unchecked immigration is a moral imperative, if you ask them, and the lack of second amendment obviating gun laws impedes the ascension of the socialist paradise. Also, unchecked immigration increases the number of useful idiots required for said revolution to be successful.
I think they're missing one important point, though.
These useful-idiot unchecked immigrants? Have been in the middle of REAL warfare, sponsored by REAL oppressive regimes. And, I suspect if they're given orders to march and fight?
They're outta here.
They're milking it while it's all free, but if someone says "you gotta put your life on the line now"...they'll say "we shoulda just stayed home".
You might find it helpful to read the works of Robert Heinlein and Poul Anderson. The hallmark of a truly great philosopher is that he never writes books on philosophy, and those two—”... “ —Are the best. Anderson for how to get along with people who are conspicuously wrong, and Heinlein for when not to.
I know the Pepe thing but it has zero meaning to me, and now that I'm told it's a secret white power symbol.... It still has no meaning, since people who come up with this carp are liars.
The "ok" hand gesture? It has become a "made you look" thing. I guess some adolescent thought was a yonic symbol. ( if it's a hole, it's a vagina, or anus if you're younger. I outgrew that one by kindergarten. But I suspect it's really symbolic for Freud followers )
I suspect you are right. Any word any day may suddenly acquire an ancient Egyptian meaning of White Supremacy.
After all, math is racist according to some incompetent professor. Even worse, expecting that students should work to learn is racist, because..... Um.
Just like voters showing an ID is racist. The base assumption for voter ID & math being racist is that the lesser races are too stupid. Which is actually racist.
Ultimately this whole calling everything everyone who isn't a Woke Democrat racist is a plot to rob the word of all meaning to hide who really is ( still are ) racist.
