Leftists Decry Straight Black Men as 'The White People of Black People'
The Declaration ^ | September 21, 2017 | By Pardes Seleh

Posted on 09/21/2017 9:16:05 PM PDT by sparklite2

Left-wing writers are taking the victim narrative to a new level this week, decrying “straight black men” as the “white people of black people.”

In a column for The Root's “Very Smart Brothas,” writer Damon Young accused straight black men of having the “type of privilege created for and protected by whiteness.” Black men, while victims of the white man's oppressiveness, are the oppressors of the nonheterosexual/male black person.

Why excerpt? The whole blog is only five paragraphs.

*******

Left-wing writers are taking the victim narrative to a new level this week, decrying “straight black men” as the “white people of black people.”

In a column for The Root’s “Very Smart Brothas,” writer Damon Young accused straight black men of having the “type of privilege created for and protected by whiteness.” Black men, while victims of the white man’s oppressiveness, are the oppressors of the nonheterosexual/male black person.

“We’re the ones for whom the first black president created an entire initiative to assist and uplift,” Young, a black man, wrote. “We’re the ones whose beatings and deaths at the hands of the police galvanize the community in a way that the beatings and sexual assaults and deaths that those same police inflict upon black women do not. We’re the ones whose mistreatment inspired a boycott of the NFL despite the NFL’s long history of mishandling and outright ignoring far worse crimes against black women.”

According to Young, straight black men are overrepresented in social justice circles and racism counters, when black girls and women are facing the same racism, if not more. “Making things worse,” he noted, white people aren’t believing black women and girls when they say they are being oppressed, like they believe black men.

“They’re met with the same doubts,” he wrote. “The same resistance. The same questions. They are not believed in the (predominantly white) world or in their (predominantly black) communities.”

Young’s article got him widespread criticism on social media from both conservatives and progressives:

Force of habit. I don’t usually excerpt more than three paragraphs.

This gives me hope that the whole racism industry is in its death throws.

Then, I find out that people are even stupidier than I thought.

Dang, I just depressed the hell out of myself.

It’s kind of amazing; at some point you just have to sit back and let these utter lunatics go as far as they care to, without preconceiving any limit on just how insane they might go.

It’s kind of like trading commodities, actually. The biggest difference between commods and stocks is that when commods get going, they go farther than anyone can imagine. Ex: Nobody on the entire planet thought oil would go from $128 to $26.

Hopefully at some point, the consequences of perpetrating such sheer idiocy will result in a backlash of sanity. The psych ward candidates will be driven back into thier hidey-holes and normal will become acceptable again.

God only knows how low this crap has to go before that happens.

But hey - if straight blacks and gay blacks start fighting each other, it won’t make the news. The media doesn’t care about black on black crime. What this drivel has to do with whiteness is beyond me. White LGBTQYZ’s are “everywhere”, after all.

That’s what it sounds like. Never on the down low, can’t be a true black man. Quite bizarre.

Of course. Power is derived by victimhood among liberals. Whoever gets to say "check your privilege" last wins:

"Check your white privilege"
"Check your non-white but male privilege"
"Check your non-white, female but straight privilege"
"Check your non-white, female, gay but not transgender privilege"
"Check your non-white, female, gay, transgender, but not Muslim privilege"

Etc. Somewhere at the bottom of a very long ladder of angry finger-pointing and attempts to make others feel guilty, there will be a deeply unhappy and troubled person who thinks she's won some moral victory because she's managed to make all of the other liberals feel guilty.

Okay, I'm trying to keep up.

So...black men are now white men. All white men are white supremacists.

Therefore, Negro is the new Nazi?

Do I win??
