'Black Lives Matter' Gets One Right: Woodrow Wilson Was a Terrible Racist

PJ Media ^ | 11-23-2015 | Michael van der Galien

[Michael van der Galien]

The Black Lives Matter movement has frequently been criticized by conservatives, and for good reason. The organization is undeniably radical and practices race-based intimidation. For instance, slightly less than two weeks ago, activists attacked white students studying in a library at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Their "sin," apparently, was their skin -- the white students were born racists and criminals per the eyes of Black Lives Matter. The innocent students were slammed against the walls, cursed at, and berated for their supposed racial privilege.

Having said that, even a broken clock is right twice a day. In subject matter, if not tactics, Black Lives Matter got it right for once:

Black Lives Matter activists at Princeton University have taken over the president’s office and say they won’t leave until the school acknowledges former U.S. president Woodrow Wilson as a racist and renames all buildings currently honoring him on campus. In a statement, the students said:

WE DEMAND the university administration publicly acknowledge the racist legacy of Woodrow Wilson and how he impacted campus policy and culture. We also demand that steps be made to rename Wilson residential college, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs, and any other building named after him. Furthermore, we would like the mural of Wilson to be removed from Wilcox Dining Hall.

After a 32-hour sit-in, the university announced it had agreed to begin a process to consider expunging the honors bestowed on Wilson from campus.

I hate to say it, as the Black Lives Matter movement is one of the more horrific political movements to appear in the U.S. in recent years, but these students are correct about Wilson's racism.

Woodrow Wilson Was a Terrible Racist

Which is exactly why he needs to stay as an example of the filth that is progressivism.

[Vaquero]

“I hate those lowlands Flemish”

Tylical quote of a ‘terrible racist’.

[samtheman]

Are they going to criticize Sanger too?

If not, why not?

There is an opportunity here for us to tie racism around Hillarys neck.

Who Is Doing the Community Organizing for Black Lives Matter Spectacle?

Not many Black Lives Matter morons would have the initiative to get a poster printed. But it's no mystery where they get the signs that they jab in the air as they chant "What do we want? Dead cops!" The supplier is printed right across the bottom: revcom.us .

'Rev' is for revolutionary.
'Com' is for communist.

Revcom.us bills itself as "the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." The explicit objective is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with an oligarchical collectivist dictatorship along the lines of North Korea and the Soviet Union.

Why would advocates of a communist police state agitate against the police? Because as leftists used to admit openly, the issue is never the issue. This isn't about the police, any more than it is about blacks. It is about destabilizing the system so as to create opportunities to weaken it and eventually overthrow it.

That's what community organizing boils down to. These people have taken over the executive branch of the federal government; why would they stop there?

The next hill they take will be federal control of local police. After that, things will start to get scary.

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Obama's former "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones became a revolutionary communist following the 1992 L.A./Rodney King Riots (58 dead)

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. (Rodney King) riots and spent a short time in jail."

"in jail, he [Van Jones] said, "I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist." ..."

From Michelle Malkin's website:

"...Michelle and Barack's consigliere and Chicago powerbroker Valerie Jarrett took full credit at the nuttroots dKos blogger conference last month (August 15, 2009) for recruiting him and closely following his career:

JARRETT:. You guys know Van Jones? [Applause. Moderator injects: "This is his house apparently."]

JARRETT: Oooh. Van Jones, alright! So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he's not that old, for as long as he's been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.

Patience my dear, Trump will get to that once he dispenses with the RNC and can focus on a much larger picture that is already being painted.

Remember, next November’s ballots will also have a place to check for every one of the 435 members of Congress and 34 Senators. The presidential primaries are typically long before the state primaries for their representatives. Case in point;

The Florida Presidential Primary is March 15 and is a part of the now called SEC Primary. If all goes as is, that will be the defining official moment. The state’s Federal legislative filing deadline is very late June ~28th and the actual primary is not until almost middle August.

I believe this example is what is filling the skivies of the establishment and in essence the basis for the latest DC elites moves to take Trump out. Their problem is that they are trying to play football on a hockey rink. If Trump wins the primaries, I think he will then pivot to build the insurgent wave against the DC elites therefore giving him a Congress that he can get something done with.

[DoodleDawg]

He was, but eliminating him from history doesn’t change who he was and what else he did. Pretending he didn’t exist isn’t an answer.

[Adder]

Woodrow Wilson Was a Terrible Racist

He was also a father to the modern fascist progressive movement...what to do do do? He’s sorta like Margaret Sanger, the eugenics for Negroes queen.

People used to do stuff. You cannot sanitize history to make it be what you want it to be, tho these blm azzholes and others are trying being abetted by a weak and stupid guilty class of progressive drones.

[samtheman]

Yes. Patience. I can wait for him to lower the boom on Fool Hillary and her gang of court jesters.

[cripplecreek]

The Wilsonian progressives were about far more than simple racism. They were (as they are now) full on fascists that the nazis later borrowed tactics from.

For instance, Joseph Goebbels used Wilsonian propagandist Edward Bernays book “Crystallizing public opinion” as a guide to manipulate the German people against their Jewish neighbors.

Wilson set up the “Committee on public information” (Creel Commission) that used newspaper editors to creatively edit newspapers and approve stories that propagandized in favor of Wilson and WWI. He encouraged people to spy on each other and report overheard conversations critical of regime ideals and dogma. People were literally jailed for overheard conversations. He hired people to “spontaneously” speak at town hall meetings and other public gatherings where others were hired to spontaneously agree.

The progressives both left and right of today are the same manipulative bottom feeders they were then.

students were slammed against the walls, cursed at, and berated for their supposed racial privilege.

Yeah like that would happen.. What the hell is wrong with college age people today? When I was 18-19 if someone would have come in and ATTEMPT to slam me into a wall someone would have end up in the hospital.

[Tallguy]

Of course not. The reason that BLM is attacking the memory of Woodrow Wilson in particular is because as a former president he symbolizes the United States (and the institution of Princeton University).

I like the way you thing though!

[Tallguy]

Yeah. Once you start applying the standards of sainthood onto politicians (or any of us) they are always going to fall short.

[samtheman]

Tallguy, read post 10 from cripplecreek. There really is some extreme weakness here that can be exploited, and because of the BLM it might be possible to force the media to pay attention.

Think jiu-jitsu. Use an opponents thrusts at you as a way to get leverage over him.

[DoodleDawg]

Yeah. Once you start applying the standards of sainthood onto politicians (or any of us) they are always going to fall short.

Too true. Political leaders are never going to be a pure as their admirers believe...or as evil as their critics maintain.

[pepsionice]

Oddly, I agree totally with BLM on Wilson. If Teddy hadn’t gotten into a personality fit with Taft....Taft would have finished his 2nd term. Taft might have gotten in WW I earlier and even done a third term.

Of the past twenty presidents....Wilson is an intellectual thug who blacks ought to be very negative about. No Republican should defend Wilson.

[cripplecreek]

Teddy Roosevelt was another progressive eugenics supporter. A letter to Dr Charles Davenport about Davenport's ideas on eugenics.

[ronnietherocket3]

For once I have no problem with BLM trying to remove honoring Wilson from American public life. The man was an utter disaster as a president. I have a hard time naming a problem in the 20th or 21st century that he did not have a hand in exacerbating. The man is a definite contender for worst world leader of all time.

[blaveda]

Thank you for that post, we are witnessing the same today from the corrupt Obama office of misinformation under the direction of our own Josephine Goebbels, Valerie Jarret.

[Resolute Conservative]

He and LBJ.
