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.

Pure hate-filled nonsense designed for one thing; to make whitey the bad guy instead of putting the blame where it should be.

One day these race-baiting SJW’s and their ilk will push just a little too far and then BAM! Race war is on. They are raising the height of the fire under the pot right now.

Yes, but the CIA (Marxists) created the rap culture and the socialism, feminism, homosexuals, “pop culture” and destroyed the school curricula and our laws to destroy the Black family (and white families) on purpose.

Destroying virtue formation will occur when the Natural family is destroyed and they did that thoroughly by their welfare and socialism (HELP) for the Black family.

All the leaders of socialism knew that it makes ignorant, lazy slaves for the State. It is destroying the White families too, but Hollywood targeted the Blacks first with decadent music to corrupt the fatherless children.

All Black-run places are either tyrannies, or mafia-run, or socialistic places which destroys all people in those situations. It is why we have a socialist system now-—to destroy the USA. Socialism makes slaves and immoral people out of the masses every time. The Whites are just one or two generations away from having a worthless, ignorant, immoral population now that our little children are going to think sodomy and baby-killing is a “Natural Right from God”. Erase virtue formation and Right Reason in our children and we will look exactly like Detroit.

It wasn’t an original idea by 1860. But it was utterly impractical on a wide scale. There were simply too many and other than for those who were removed from their tribal homelands within their lifetime, Blacks were already too Americanized and alien to Africa. The ones who did return to Liberia remained culturally divided from the natives and neither fully assimilated into the other even to this day.

Frederick Douglass imparted to Lincoln regarding this notion of repatriation and disavowed him of it citing some of what I stated above. The time to have done it was 100 years beforehand (1750/60) when the numbers were still low, but too many were addicted to the notion of cheap labor. Same with the importation of today’s de facto slaves: illegals. They couldn’t care less about the long term problems that results from their importation and not being able to fully assimilate.

So we should initiate a system of Affirmative Action when it comes to crime. People of color should be free to commit whatever crime they want. It will be ‘hands off don’t shoot.’ People of color will be able to run the illegal drug market with complete freedom. It is their bread and butter, ya know.

white is a construct? Ah, Philosophy. Then in asia, Asian is a construct built on fear of white people and black people, and in Africa, black is a construct built on fear of white and Asian people.

Why are the taxpayers subsidizing colleges that crank out these wackadoodles?

If blacks weren’t committing crimes in large numbers, then a large number of them would not be incarcerated.

It’s not about race. There are plenty of awful white people rightfully behind bars too.

That’s how Liberia was founded.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Actually it was put in motion by President Monroe

- Monrovia the ONLY Foreign capital named after a US President.

I think a lot of the people are still named 'Smith'.

During the Ebola(??) scare an Ethiopian citizen came to Texas to be treated by Black US Drs & Nurses with supposedly 'home names'.

His name - Thomas Eric Duncan

Who was Thomas Eric Duncan?

He was a 42-year-old Liberian citizen. Duncan's Facebook page indicates that he's from the Liberian capital of Monrovia, where he attended E. Jonathan Goodridge High School.

Guess 'OUR' Black people should get with the program and start using AFRICAN names?????

Absolutely this article is the end result of 100 years of the Neo-Marxist Frankfurt School.

Another point: why are so many non-whites, non-Christians so desperate to come here? It’s because either:
A) they really don’t mind the culture, or
B) they’re invading
PICK ONE

“the majority wants salvation by faith alone to be the answer to all problems.”

Your logic suddenly collapsed here.

America was made great, not by cheap slave labor, but by the Protestant work ethic.

The gradual slide to socialism and corruption of society has a direct correlation to the abandoning of this heritage.

Disputes over words and catch phrases aside, Protestants have historically had a faith that demands a life of hard work to demonstrate that faith.

Biblical faith is categorically separate from works as an agent of grace. But it is qualitatively inseparable from works as a demonstration of grace.

Hayes is a self-hating, guilt ridden white leftist who thinks he is an intellect.

Don’t know who Liu is but he sounds like a self-promoter who likes to try and impress people with his manipulation of words.

“Stop and frisk” worked. Got thousands of guns off the street and put some dangerous people/felons in jail. A well run program of detection results in more guns legitimately seized and less accidental targeting of innocent people.

If blacks in the ghettoes would anonymously phone in to the police the punks who have illegal guns, then it would make policing a lot more effective and save a lot of black lives.

However, the communist white legal apparatus put out publications that said “Don’t Talk To the Police” and gave it out to white/black rioters and black criminals, etc. Then the reds provided those arrested with smart attorneys who turned the justice system upside down (Kunstler, Kinoy, Weinglass, Ratner, and a few black radicals (Flo Kennedy, members of the Marxist National Conference of Black Lawyers (NCBL), etc.

White radicals also disrupted the judicial system, again tutored by Kunstler and company, including drug addled Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin.

I once sat in a private meeting with Kunstler when he explained his legal approach to the Chicago 7 trial. It was not to get justice for his clients but it was to discredit the judge to the point that he would mishandle the trial, to put on kabuki theater for the jury to confuse their minds, and to generally attack our court system in order to undermine it.

Look for this type of racial guilt trip to keep coming from the Marxist/ignorant Left. They have long ago abandoned “facts” when doing their writing on social issues.

Actually, the article is missing the big picture. The big picture is that the Democratic Party has destroyed inner city jobs, destroyed the education system of most large cities, and the Democratic party has made people of color dependent on government in a way that has robbed their initiative and self respect.

In such a situation where the unemployment rate for youth of color is tremendous and there are few honest father figures, young boys of color turn to the closest thing that resembles employment and “family.” Unfortunately that is drug dealing and gangs. That is why a disproportionate number of people of color are in jail. It is politics and economics.
