There is a war over race in America - but it's not whites versus blacks
Slate ^ | July 8, 2016 | William Saletan

Posted on 07/09/2016 7:30:12 PM PDT by SleepySimon

Hours after a sniper gunned down five law enforcement officers in Dallas—claiming, according to police, that “he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers”—no one was crowing louder than David Duke. “All I warned about, sorry to say, is now happening,” the former Klansman tweeted. “There is war against Whites in America.

This is the war Micah Johnson joined in Dallas on Thursday night. He didn’t join the side of black people, any more than Bin Laden or ISIS joined the side of Muslims. He joined the side of tribal enmity and vengeance. He joined the side of Dylann Roof, Anders Breivik, and David Duke. It’s the wrong side. Reject it.

Yeah it’s not whites versus blacks

It’s blacks versus everyone else

But Slate would never admit it, just cover it up, excuse it

There can be no doubt that owebama, his two attorney generals, the dumbocrat party, and the MSM - to name a few - are all at war against white Christian heterosexual patriotic Americans.

We that have worked all our lives for a living know the score. You earn your position in life or you are on the dole.

Retards like blm, islam and leftist dogma will be in the scrap pile or many will die fighting for what is criminal and what is honest will win...unless the retards outbreed us like they are trying to do on our own dime.

Sterilize the evil.

Whoa, those libs are just so smart....just way over my head....I mean....that has to be why this makes no sense....right?
I blame racists too but, also those who use racists as useful idiots. They kind of left some folks out.

The only “war” Slate wants to fight is the war they’ve been waging against conservatives.

She seemed kind of calm for a woman whose boyfriend was shot and is dying and bleeding to death.

Bin Laden and ISIS didn’t join the side of Islam? Bin Laden and ISIS is Islam. This author is poorly informed or naive to say the least.

Look at Osama Bin Laden’s pronouncements over the years, and you’ll see a striking resemblance to the rhetoric of Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump.

Yeah, right. Might as well stop reading at that point. In fact, you might as well not have started.

>>He joined the side of Dylann Roof, Anders Breivik, and David Duke.

Who did Duke kill? If the author wants to include people guilty of racist rhetoric with actual mass murderers, then he needs to include Jesse Jackson, Farrakhan, Sharpton, and Obama.

I agree.

Much as I dislike to give slate.com a hit, I actually did visit, just this once, to read the entire article. Contrary to what I'd expect from slate.com, I can actually agree with one possible interpretation of this excerpt, but I was prepared to be disappointed by the entire article.

(For one thing, if this were genuinely a "race war," there would be a blatantly obvious objection to Dr. Ben Carson as a Republican candidate. I never comprehensively read threads about him here, but I never saw that objection in what I did read.)

The article did what I wouldn't expect and mentioned examples that would irriate those who believe that People of Color can do no wrong--but then the article finally went in a predictable direction and is fundamentally anti-Trump. I'll let you readers know in order to save you a click: William Saletan compares Osama bin Laden's "rhetoric" to Donald Trump's, and he apparently places them all on the same side of this "war" with Micah Johnson.

In other words, some of Saletan's premises are reasonable-sounding, especially what is quoted here in this thread--but then he goes in just the opposite direction of blaming people like Jesse Jackson.

I can tell author is wrong with snip.

It is Blacks vs Whites, not W vs B, and add to that mohammedans teamed up with blacks.

This is a profoundly dishonest article. Quite easy to see its real point was to simply bang on white people. THEY are the real villains in the article, the inane point of which is “If you are a black who loves to kill whites you are helping David Duke,” Thus, whites are always at the apex of evil, the ultimate wrongdoers against whom all other transgressors are measured

The goal of the insidious piece of trash is to make white people feel guilty when blacks kill white people. Sort of like how the leftist european woman recently in the press who wouldn’t report her own rape by a muslim immigrant because it would make people “prejudiced” against him.

The way I see it, it is the welfare state of childish irresponsible behavior throwing temper tantrums against responsible behavior. And as the welfare state continues to grow ever larger, the horrors will get worse.
