A taxpayer-funded museum in Washington D.C. says on its website that objective thinking, self-reliance and planning for the future are among the signs of whiteness that have permeated throughout American culture.
Whiteness and the normalization of white racial identity in America has “created a culture where nonwhite persons are seen as inferior or abnormal,” according to an article published by the National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC).
Aspects of whiteness and white culture include an “emphasis on the scientific method,” which involves “objective, rational linear thinking,” “cause and effect relationships,” and “quantitative emphasis,” according to a graphic created by the museum.
The NMAAHC is a member of the Smithsonian Institution, which bills itself as the largest museum, education and research complex in the world. The Smithsonian Institution received $1 billion in federal funding for its 2020 fiscal year, a figure that comprises 62% of its budget, according to its website.
Other aspects of whiteness include planning for the future, delayed gratification, valuation of time as a commodity, decision-making, self-reliance and politeness, according to the NMAAHC graphic.
Here, however, we have an example of a divide crossed into pure lunacy instead of actual grievance. Much the same can be said for the recent claim from a professor at the Brooklyn College who says that "Math is White Supremacist Patriarchy."
Each are themselves a Marxist rotten to the core racist example in that it plainly suggests that only whites are capable of such things. It comes from a false attempt to insist that they are helping when in reality they are insulting the very people they purport to be serving.
To their credit the graphic has been removed but the goal of putting this on such a respectable website was achieved and it will be attempted again and again in differing ways until accepted and promoted when in fact its divisive and hateful.
Its what works
I used to like everybody and got along just fine. Now, i can’t stand Democrats or anyone that associates with them. I have been changed into a RACIST by the anti -racists.
F them all ,i am racist against stupid people,Democrats.
The Left is fond of magic words and make-believe worlds. And hatred. And power, the sort that enables them to force people to validate their magic words and make-believe worlds or else.
Now its racism. In the past, everything was framed as sexism. Before that, when the Dems actually pretended to care about poor people, everything was framed as the Republicans being Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly. Its whatever the Dems think will work to put cowardly Republicans on the defensive at any given moment.
I’d rather be thought of as a racist by Leftwing douchebags than be any sort of Leftwing douchebag.
The lefty social security theme failed, replaced by abortion rights which morphed into late term abortion that sickened the people, thus another failing fear tactic.. So BLM takes front and center. Democrats are simply about obtaining power through fear.
While our side isn't perfect, I see this overwhelmingly on the Left. It is a moral failing to lose an argument. To be on the wrong side of history. To be politically incorrect. You just don't want to be “that person”.
And so it's all emotional. They just yell opinions and toss insults. There is no engagement. That would be risky. If you try to discuss, you might lose. That would make you a bad person. So make sure you're clearly a good person, on the correct side — yell opinions and toss insults.
I recently saw a fairly typical clip of Charlie Kirk asking some (rather old) protesters who had signs opposing racism. Kirk said that was good. Because he opposed racism too. He asked who the signs were directed at. They scoffed and said “Trump, of course.”
Kirk asked them to name something racist that the President had said or done. They had nothing. They seemed insulted that he would ask. “If you have to ask that question, you're not worth talking to!!”
One of them finally asked Kirk, why he liked Trump. Like a machine gun, Kirk listed off item after item, a laundry list of Trump accomplishments (ex. lowest unemployment rate for blacks in history, etc.). He kept going and going. When he finally stopped, the woman said “ … well, that's your opinion.” Kirk said, "No, those are facts. He did all that." And the people just started walking away to get away from his cooties.
Wait, they are saying the things in that poster are BAD?
Because the left is racist, everything they are about is screwing one group over for another.
When you cant see people as individuals, but as groups, you cant help but be racist against some of them, its natural.
‘If the only tool you have is a hammer, then all your problems look like nails.’
Acting white, doncha know.
Well it used to be “classes” as in proletariat and bourgeoisie. That worked for a while then it fizzled out. So the left glommed on to another “injustice” - racial inequality. When that finally runs out, they will glom on to some other “injustice”.
The left is a malignant tumor of the human race, constantly present in any society, and ready to metastisize if not detected early and nipped in the bud.
It is the disease of egalitarianism and envy. Tocqueville put it very well when he said...
“There is a passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.”
Just the more prevalent example of the privilege white folks automatically have. Or something. Yeah, I remember renting half a mobile home when I was stationed in Jax Beach/Mayport. And buying a gallon of milk and mixing it with powdered milk to make it go further for the kids. And only being able to buy $5 worth of fuel oil for the heater in the winter. Good times. :-)
They say the word racism.
What they mean is Wrong-Think.
the normalization of white racial identity in America*
do these idiots not understand that America was founded by anglo-saxon white folk and is not an international hotel?.
Anybody that has a problem with the existence of a superminority white-dominant nation in a world composed of 95% non-whites is racist and crazy and needs their pathalogically jealous head examined.
Well said.
The old commie angle can be summed up as
” Top rail “ = those in control
” Bottom rail “ = those being controlled.
It’s a biurification , a logical fallacy, but it works to agitate and promote resentment .
The simple way to short circuit that premise is to ask the Bolshevik
“Are the rulers and leaders of Nigeria, Chad and Guyana racists ?”
“What about China ?, who are the racists there ?”
“Is race a matter of melatonin, or power ? “
I’ve asked these questions of a few school age kids
on their way to a blm protest, and they couldn’t give an answer. But I could tell one of them understood what I was getting at.
I’m ,wishing they take the question back to their Fabian “teachers” and community organizers and hopefully peers.
Top rail being the oppressrs
Bottom rail being the oppressed

They are also sexist — in fact they are every -ist the throw at Conservatives.
Right now I would NOT want to be born-female athlete in any endeavor but particularly strength ones. They will be as rare as dodo birds in 10 years in exchange for trannies.
Even now, the desire to be safe from aggressive men is being thrown out to allow trannies access to traditional all-female spaces such as restrooms, locker rooms and even showers.
Look how the left turned on their loudest feminist with the biggest bullhorn: J.K. Rowling. They ripped her to shreds when she pointed out trannies are stomping all over the very real advances feminists have made (and the imaginary ones as well).
