How white America has created a colony of incarceration for people of color
The corrupt Washington Post ^ | March 31 | Eric Liu

Posted on 04/02/2017 10:41:32 PM PDT by TBP

“American history,” he writes, “is the story of white fear, of the constant violent impulses it produces and the management and ordering of those impulses. White fear keeps the citizens of the Nation wary of the Colony, and fuels their desire to keep it separate.”

He doesn’t develop this notion systematically but that he names it at all, and so bluntly, is significant. Indeed, the long-term value of this book probably will lie less in Hayes’s survey of “the new Jim Crow” system that Michelle Alexander has described than in his nascent effort to confront and counteract the underlying force of white fear.

Hayes suggests that fear is not just an aspect of white identity; it is the very reason for it — that whiteness in America was constructed and is still maintained, through power structures such as the criminal justice system, to dominate people defined as nonwhite and to control the resulting anxiety about the possibility of rebellion.

This vile article is spewing racism, and it's time we called out these haters. (I'm planning on writing a letter; I hope others will too.)

Last time I was at the airport here, there were hundreds of flights to the other continents. If you don’t like it here, feel free to jump on one.

Nutcases galore. Interesting isn’t it, how these #FakeNews minority “Journ-O-Lists” whine like the little brats they are yet always want to live here and can’t explain why people all over the world are just dying to come here.

I wish I had the power to kick these fools out and let them see how good they have it with us “white privileged” types

All this nonsense could be easily taken care of my admitting that all cultures are not equally successful. Human instincts evolved in a world where all wealth comes from nature and to succeed in a world where most wealth comes from human labor one has to undergo counter instinctive cultural progress.

Yes, in America the Black murder rate gravitates towards 70 per 100,000 a year. It does that in every country. In every country the white murder rate gravitates towards 10 per 100,000 a year. In America Blacks make around 35% less than whites. In Latin American countries the number is 50% less and in Europe its also 35% less. What happens in America also happens around the world.

The difference here is religion. We can’t deal with these issues directly because the majority wants salvation by faith alone to be the answer to all problems.

The elephant in the room is Why People of Color Are Unable to Live Like Civilized People. But nobody wants to face that.

People are watching the “black” series “Underground” .. and getting all kinds of ideas.

I am not watching it, but my first instinct was ... how many people know that it was WHITE people who rescued a lot of black people; and many of the white people paid with their lives.

That story is NEVER told.

Lincoln had the idea of just sending back slaves and descendants to Africa. That surely would have avoided the 150+ years of BS we have had to put up with.

No doubt Snopes has decreed Lincoln had no such idea in mind.

“How black American culture has created a culture of crime that is celebrated and encouraged by black culture...”

NWA. Biggie Smalls. Too Short. Wu Tang Clan. ALL rap about crime and violence. AND, these are the biggest heroes in the black community. Add to that millions of single black moms breeding with thugs to produce more thugs and breeders of thugs ALL supported by a progressive democrat government there is NO ONE to blame for black dysfunction than blacks themselves. I have ZERO sympathy and ZERO responsibility.

White “Fear”?

We conquered the entire planet against incredible odds. Do these deluded humanoids think we are not capable of doing it again, with prejudice this time?

Amen brother!

Love it or leave it.

I’ve often joked that proof of God’s mercy is that I’m not in charge...I would wreck shop on another level.

Cry me a river. Animals belong in cages. In a just world, a whole lot of these animals would be put down like the rabid dogs they are. Just a few blocks from the WaPo:

White Victim Negro Violent Criminal

White murder victim.   Black murdering thug.
