How White Liberals Became 'Woke,' Radically Changing Their Outlook On Race
National Public Radio ^ | October 1, 2019 | Asma Kahlid

Jeromy Brown, a 46-year-old teacher in Iowa, considers President Trump a white supremacist.

"If the shoe fits, then say it, and the shoe fits him," Brown said, while waiting in a "selfie line" at an Elizabeth Warren rally in August. "Why should he be excused from that label?"

Brown, like many white liberal voters, appreciates that some Democratic presidential candidates have begun explicitly referring to Trump as a white supremacist. His top choice, Warren, told The NPR Politics Podcast in August that "when the white supremacists call Donald Trump one of their own, I tend to believe them."

But she's not alone in using such strong and direct language. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has repeatedly referred to Trump as a "racist" on the campaign trail. And former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke insists that tackling white supremacy should be the No. 1 law enforcement priority in the country.

These people are not woke or awake. They are fast asleep in a dream of socialist utopia.

So this teacher is atoning for white racism by backing a fake Indian?

Most of these white liberals have never set foot in the black section of towns in big cities.

They don’t know what they don’t know.

These woke idiots are cutting off their nose in spite of their face and SETTING A DANGEROUS PRESIDENT. Claiming white privilege and white anything is waving the white flag of defeat. Much like Sweden, Germany and most of the EU woke people and governments they have empowered the otherwise illegal invaders with rights that should not have and privilege that far exceeds the citizenry and their generations before and after. Do we see this anywhere else but white majority countries? NO! They are destroying our way of life and our sovereignty from within

“...dangerous PRECEDENT...”

Who are these white supremacists, and where are they? Has anyone ever seen them? What do they do that marks them as white supremacists?

I am reminded that in 1930s Germany, it became commonplace to blame one specific religious group for all the ills of humanity, to the point where when adherents of this religion were carted away and murdered en masse, no one blinked an eye. In the narrative that Germany’s leftists had constructed, those people needed to be exterminated. And the left is doing the same thing here, only to all white people, not just those of a particular religion. If we don’t stop this, there is likely a very bloody outcome.

Don’t forget - the chance to defund NPR and PBS occurred when the “Republicans’ controlled both Houses of Congress. And just what did Speaker Ryan do? Absolutely nothing.

MTV and Madonna - the turning point.

Crawling across the floor crying ...

kissing the feet of black Jesus ...

after the white boys beat him up ...

little girls watching ...

So Jeromy Brown should prove his commitment and step aside so a person of color can teach those children about white supremacy.
