Liberals Don’t Get To Have It Both Ways With White Americans
Townhall.com ^ | September 2, 2017 | John Hawkins

"The base of the Democratic party used to be working people, regardless of race, ethnic, or ethnic identity, sexual orientation, et cetera. That was a Roosevelt agenda. That was the Truman agenda. Over time, and I think particularly over the last eight years, the Democratic Party has moved into interest group politics and in many cases white working people have become the whipping post, or were. I think what you saw in this election here is white working people in these rural areas seeing that someone actually was articulating the fact that they had become disenfranchised and they gravitated toward Trump in my view..." -- Former Democratic Senator Jim Webb

Let’s see, what was it that Michael Moore said earlier this week?

“The angry white guy is dying out, and the Census Bureau has already told us that by 2050, white people are going to be the minority, and I’m not sad to say I can’t wait for that day to happen. I hope I live long enough to see it because it will be a better country.”

Of course, there are places in America where white people are already a minority; so why doesn’t Michael Moore live in one of them? If he really believes he’s better off with less white people around, why didn’t he build a mansion in Compton or inner-city Detroit instead of having one in 96% white Torch Lake?

Like Michael Moore, liberals generally love to mock white people. They especially love to put down those white, cis males …well, until the chips are down anyway. Then it's, "Can you help us out?"

White cops are all racists looking for an excuse to pick on black Americans until someone threatens or robs a liberal and then he immediately runs to the cops.

The rich, white guys are greedy and evil until someone needs a job or they’re asked to fund most of the government with their taxes.

Nobody says “no” to the white guy giving out charity, the white redneck pulling you out of a snowdrift with his truck or the “Cajun Navy” guy with a bass boat taking people out of their homes in a flood.

Of course, why should they say “no?” We’re all Americans, right? Race doesn’t matter, does it? If you’re stuck on your roof because of a flood, the race of the person that rescues you shouldn’t matter all that much.

Someone tell liberals that.

Do you think I’m overselling how anti-white liberals (even white liberals) have become? If so, here are just a few recent headlines.

Affinity Magazine wrote, “Actually... Straight White Men Are the Root of Our Problems.” The Root put out an article called “Polite White People are Useless.” A Boston University scholar said “Stephen King’s ‘It’ Is Bad Because It’s Full Of ‘White, Straight, Able-Bodied’ Males.” CNN also blamed ordinary people for being "white supremacists by default." There were people on Twitter hoping Hurricane Harvey would help “cleanse” Texas of white people. Then there was this comment from Munroe Bergdorf, the first transgender model hired by L’Oréal.

"Honestly, I don’t have energy to talk about racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people. Because most of ya’ll don’t even realize or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of color. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this sh*t. Come see me when you realize that racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited and consciously or unconsciously passed down through privilege. “Once white people begin to admit that their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth … then we can talk."

All of that happened in the last week and it’s very typical. Imagine being pummeled with that garbage daily on top of social media posts from legions of black liberals who hate white people or feminists who hate white men every bit as much as the KKK hates black Americans. It's a never stopping symphony of attacks on whites. How warped has the Left gotten on this issue? Well, CNN’s Sally Kohn says that all the following things, in one form or fashion, are “covert white supremacy.

* Make America great again

* Euro-centric curriculum

* Anti-immigration policies

* English only initiatives

* Cultural appropriation

* Believing we are post-racial

* But, we’re just one human family

* Claiming reverse racism

* Denial of white privilege

* Denial of racism

* Colorblindness

We could go on and on about this, but just think about the Orwellian ramifications of saying that “colorblindness” is a form of white supremacy. That’s as dumb as saying that opposing slavery is a form of black supremacy.

Although they hesitate to come right out and say it, the liberal line is either that you should hate yourself for being white or alternately attack other white people for their race, in hopes that you’ll get a pass from the white ‘guiltpocolypse’. That’s where the Left is today and it has real consequences for the country. Since liberals don’t care about the wellbeing of our nation, it’s worth noting that it has huge political consequences for them as well.  Just look what the New York Times had to say about the subject this week, The more white voters care about being white, the more they like President Trump.

In the wake of the presidential election, we’ve all been asking simplistic questions about how Donald Trump won. Was it economics? Was it racism? Was it misogyny? Did it come down to identity? We know that it can’t have been just one thing, and that President Trump’s triumph was a concoction of many things. Nonetheless, several factors came together in a peculiar way, with serious electoral consequences. Millions of white voters began to see themselves more openly not as white supremacists but as white identified.

Here's another way to put it: when you ENCOURAGE identity politics among black Americans and Latinos while regularly aiming vicious criticism at white Americans based on their race, many white Americans will vote accordingly after becoming sick of the abuse and the hypocrisy. Liberals have worked themselves into this weird place where they quite correctly condemn the KKK, white supremacists and Nazis, but encourage similar mentalities among minority groups because they believe it will benefit them politically. The more entrenched this disgusting mentality becomes, the more you can expect white Americans to act and vote like just another minority group. Does that sort of balkanization sound healthy? For example, do you think it would be good if white Americans had their own version of the NAACP designed to pursue their racial interests? Do you think white voters should explicitly vote for candidates because they share their race like black Americans often do? Should white Americans be given an explicit advantage in college entrances and government jobs for a few years to make up for all the years minorities were given preference over them because of their race via Affirmative Action? You can give every lame excuse in the book why it’s okay to spew hate at white Americans, but there are always consequences. Ultimately, nobody loves or respects someone who treats him like garbage because of something he can’t change.

Liberals should never forget that it is dangerous to mock people who believe in a color-blind America because eventually you may convince them that you’re right.

Actually, "Yes" to both questions.

Race-peddlers think these 2 premises:
a) Whites are the problem (with anecdotal or pre-60s evidence)
b) Whites must help (taxes, quotas, open borders)

If you get them to admit these seemingly disconnects, they will say “Whites must pay us back”. This has been the answer for 50 years and will never stop.

Until someone in Fedral gov’t says:
a) Those examples are anecdotal or apply to earlier generations, not us
b) It Is Enough

I doubt Harvey taught libs anything. But it reminded me yet again how much white men - masculine men of any color - are responsible for so much good in this world. I didn’t see any member of NOW rescuing disabled, sick or the elderly this week.

I could have written this myself, I’ve been saying it for a longtime, once whites adopt the demonrat’s identity politics, it is over for the rats.

Ten or fifteen years ago and Economist added up all of the money spent on the war on poverty.

the amount was enough to buy all of the common stock of all of the Dow Jones index; every company every single share.

and there was still enough money left over to buy every acre of arable Farmland in the USA.

The liberal attitude towards white people is “die, honkey.” They are very upfront about it. Any pushback means you are a White Supreemist. Maybe it’s better for your people to be exterminated than to have the media call you a name. And it’s not like demographic changes will mean the end of the Constitution or free markets. Will it?

In some way the notion of “white supremacy” that exists in the minds of the left, particularly blacks, does exist. It exists in the form of instilling a genuine sense of self worth in our children as they are raised by two parents. It is there for seeing people as they are, beneath the thin veneer of their outer layer of skin.

I have told black friend that I, as a white man, can’t mess you up any worse than your own people have by instilling you with such low self esteem and twisted ideas on human nature.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Yep, but it won't stop unless whites collectively push back. All other race groups have race specific representation. Whites instinctively know that there is a problem but the left is still pushing whites in the direction they want and effectively doing so because when it comes to race, whites in general, refuse to stand up to specifically protect themselves offering some sort of empty platitudes about how race doesn't matter which has no effect whatsoever of the lefts agenda therefore the left keeps pushing and whites keep backing up.

There was a movie made a few years ago called “A Day Without Mexicans” or something like that. I would love to see a movie made that would cover first 3 days after white people disappeared. I am sure then on the first day most stores would be looted. By the third day, there would be gangs in control of entire cities, and it would be getting worse every hour. Of course, no one will ever dare to make a movie like that, nor will any company ever distribute it. But I do believe that everyone in our society knows that something like that would actually occur.

And that was before Obama. I’ve always said that we’ve already paid reparations, that’s what our $20 Trillion national debt went to.

The most disturbing part of this article is that it is true that by 2050, white people will be in the minority in America. Disturbing in the fact that unless something radically changes, blacks and hispanics tend to be on the receiving end of our tax dollars and not on the giving end. So we will eventually run out of money and the government will be forced to seize the 401(k)s and other retirement savings that people have saved for themselves so far so that the welfare state can continue. This will put those who have saved in the same boat as those who did not save.

Immigration is part of this but another major reason is that affluent families tend to have less than two children. So they are not even replacing themselves. However, it is not unusual for poorer families (or single mothers) to have several children raised on government money. These children grow up with a sense of entitlement as well as less education and less of a work ethic.

Ronald Reagan's prediction may come true, where there are more people riding in the wagon than pulling the wagon. We still have time to reverse this but there is not much room for error. Demographically, we are heading down a very bad path.

“And yet there are still enough brain washed white people yanking the democrat lever”

But it is diminishing. Here in the South, in 2014, whites voted 70-89% Republican statewide (75% in Texas, 89% in Alabama)...and huge flip from 25 years ago.

The rest of the country is lower, but slowly coming up. Even though the Republican Party is TOO STUPID to understand what this means, the Dems FULLY understand the implications (which is why they keep promising NOT to take away our guns, when we all know that’s just what they intend to do, once they can). If whites nationwide vote 75% Republican, Republicans will win close to 50% of the national vote (although it will drop by about 1.5% every 4 years, due to demographics).

Starting out with 45% to 50% of the national vote, before even counting a single black, Hispanic, or Asian is pretty damn good and makes winning very easy. And there is HUGE growth potential with minority voters too. Example: while blacks are about 13% of the population, Asians are now half of that number (6.5%, think about that), and have NO REASON to be voting Democrat, except for the fact that the Republican Party hasn’t been able to find anyone who speaks Asian (hint Republicans: there is no Asian language, which is why you guys cannot find anyone who speaks it, but there is Chinese, Hindi, Vietnamese, and others). Also, Hispanics are far from solid Democrat voters too, and can be reached numerous ways, and already are voting at least 30% Republican. We may not reach 50% of the Hispanic vote, but if we get close (and we did in the South in 2014, at 40 to 45%), they won’t be doing the Democrats much good either.

But it all begins with IDENTIFYING THE BASE, which used to be a subset of white voters, but now is a solid majority of white voters (the only exceptions are single women, gays, and immature college guys...but even combined, they are likely less than 30% of white voters).

The next step is NOT TO BE SHAMED by the Left and the Media into ‘being embarrassed’ to identify with and vote Republican (really conservative). There is absolutely NO REASON for us to split our vote with a party (the Democrats), who simply HATES OUR GUTS. If the Dems have no use for us white voters, fine, we’ll take our votes elsewhere.

As to the Republican Party, they’ve certainly drifted from the Reagan days, but don’t write them off right away. Alabama should go our way (i.e., Strange losing), Arizona (Flake) is lost for our Republican leftists, and Nevada (Heller) is at serious risk for them (not to mention McCain’s days in the Senate being numbered). Knocking out a handful of anti-Trump types will certainly get the attention of others...at least if they want to stay in what will be a new and improved Republican Party.

Like Uganda, they will run our of whites to fund (and run) things - and they’ll have the same outcome.

That is a great point.

And let’s go further: What is beneath the thin veneer inside all the races? The divine-imaged soul. That concept comes from “dead white male” Western thinking, both Judeo-Christian and Greek.
