Vox explains why it’s not racist to be racist against whites:

The “controversy” over journalist Sarah Jeong joining the New York Times, explained

In standing by its decision to hire the well-known tech journalist, the Times shut down a major bullying tactic of the alt-right.
By Aja [email protected] Aug 3, 2018, 2:20pm EDT

… After the New York Times announced Jeong’s hiring, the alt-right used her old tweets to accuse her of being racist against white people …

In tweets like the one embedded above, Jeong appeared to be commenting on the idea that white people often believe they are being discriminated against when they aren’t. To equate “being mean to white people” with the actual systemic oppression and marginalization of minority groups is a false equivalency.

Racism is the greatest sin of our age … except against whites … who are either too superhuman or too subhuman that they shouldn’t mind.

Haven’t they noticed no one else is listening anymore, or are they all just still absorbed in their little circle jerk?

    The term 'racism' might have referred to a nexus of attitudes and beliefs 60 years ago. Now it's just a verbal trump card meant to dictate the direction of public discourse. The rage contra Trump is that he gets along fine by ignoring media-manufactured sh!tstorms or telling the generators of hue-and-cry to get stuffed. If refusing to apologize or be cowed in to silence catches on, they've lost the main source of their influence as well as some self-congratulatory props.

    The notion that 'systematic oppression' characterizes the lives of blacks or mestizos (much less our rather bourgeois Oriental and East Indian population) is a tell that the man recites incantations and knows nothing of the country in which they live. There are quality-of-life deficits among black populations, but they are there because the institutions of the larger society are delinquent in sequestering the hoodlums and incorrigibles who live among impecunious working-class blacks. There's blame to go around for that. Who fancies Eleanor Holmes Norton gives a rip about law enforcement or school discipline?

    Im not certain Stevebait is preferred by our mod. No that there is anything wrong with that...

  3. You want to see systematic oppression and marginalization of minority groups? This is how it’s done. Half a century of amnesia is right.

    This is one reason to avoid the term racist, and use “anti-white”. Even the leftist MSM is now picking it up, like the term White Nationalist. For one, it gives the left a new context that it is hard to argue with. And it also undermines the currency of the term “racist/racism”, forged as they were by cultural Marxists or actual Marxists.

    I'll have to look through that Pew report, but at first glance, those projections look wildly optimistic.

    I enjoy demography--or at least find it interesting. The last time i looked through the CDC birth data a few years back Hispanics were already near 25% of the births. I.e. near a million out of four million a year. (They'd gone over a million a year--25%--during peak bubble but have ebbed back maybe a percent.) And they continue to have higher fertility--though it's gone down--than any other major racial group. And they continue to come--legally and illegally.

    There's simply no way you get from those realities to 24% Hispanic 50 years out.

    You'll be at 24% in 35 years, with immigration closed. And while much, much larger immigration flows from other regions could hold that number in check, is it really plausible that Hispanics will be <24% of our immigration flows anytime soon? And if that happens what would be the source to make it happen--seems like that would take a flood of blacks along the lines of Steve's "world's most important graph". Which is contradicted by the black percentage.

    Given that the current birth cohorts are something like:
    50% White
    23% Hispanic
    16% Black
    7% Asian
    4% other
    and these cohorts will be solidly in the old half--50years old--in 2065, their model--barring some striking changes in immigration policy and fertility rates is impossible.


    Just throwing out a SWAG, but i think much more realistic for 2065--unless we really turn it around--would be something like:
    -- 41% White
    -- 30% "Hispanic"
    -- 10% Asian
    -- 16% Black
    -- 4% "other"
    (1% both black and Hispanic). And that's *not* allowing a big surge from Africa.

    I've never quite understood this. It's like the enemy puts billions into researching, developing, and deploying a super-weapon, and we're going to refuse to use it because...this is never quite explained. It's like "nukes, those are the weapons of the infidel," or something.

    I've always thought that using the enemy's super-weapon is a good idea, because you invested nothing in it but you can scoop it up and use it like anyone else, thus leveraging the billions they spent implementing it, free of charge; who gives a shit who forged it?

    IMO, when we call them racist, we're leveraging the same indoctrination they are when they use it, except against them.

    And to go one better, they then respond with indifference, or better yet, "only whites can be racist," undermining the effectiveness of their weapon which is itself revealed as the racist weapon of racists.

    It's also possible to undermine it with how it's used, e.g., by saying it in a detached, James Spader kind of way, as if you're describing the behavior of ants.

    You are correct sir. Contrast Trump with the feeble-minded, buffoon George W. Bush who stated that the event that upset him the most during his presidency was when some negro rapper called him a racist after the hurricane hit New Orleans.

    Being called a racist by a negro upset him, not the fact that he killed millions of people, including thousands of US military men, under the false pretenses that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons. That apparently doesn't bother him at all.

    The Bush reaction is what left demands of all white men. You must be very upset if someone "of color" calls you a racist and grovel like a bitch to prove that you love them. Failure to do so proves that you are a racist.

    It’s amusing to notice the new wave of “Russophobia” among genteel New Class types. I live in N. California and find the local Russian & Uke immigrants slightly obnoxious — they don’t make a public display, but clearly come from “low trust” cultures as evidenced by their tendency for scamming and exploiting everyone else’s property (and each other’s FAIK). Also their personalities run the gamut from insincere wheedling to pushy/crass; they’re like Middle Easterners minus the sexism. But unlike Jews, Italians and Irish and more lately Armenians & Chinese they don’t have their own well established pressure group that hounds hapless media flunkies for every story that might put Russkies in a negative light.

    Well... Both of those claims are true, although I probably wouldn't have written them.

  33. To equate “being mean to white people” with the actual systemic oppression and marginalization of minority groups is a false equivalency.

    How many people “equate” these situations?

    Most people are equating making mean comments about white people with… making mean comments about minorities, a sure way of getting sacked. Most of what gets exposed as unacceptable racism nowadays amounts to no more than isolated mean comments made by people with no power to structuraly opress their targets.

  34. It is all about power and control. There are no rules or lofty principles. They are bullies. The rules are whatever works to shut us up.

    A minority tweets tomahto and gets a better job. A white guy tweets tomato, they scream “racist” and he is quickly fired.

    White privilege is great!

  35. I wish that commenters on this and other threads and forums would desist from calling non-whites “SJW’s”. Only white people can be SJW’s since only whites will promote the interests of other ethnic groups even when – or especially when – it is to the detriment of their own. Non whites would never do that. They adopt the language of SJW-ism and pretend to share the white SJW belief system but are really just in it to gain power and influence – and jobs and money – for their own ethnic group.

    I have the same problem with commenters calling non white liberal/lefty men “cucks”. A cuck can only be a white man, since only whites will raise another m,an’s ideology. With non-whites its all about using the language of liberal/leftism to acquire power and resources for their own kind.

    I disagree on a few levels.

    First, SJWism isn't just about race. I do not doubt that Sarah Jeong hates Korean men just as much as she hates white women. Perhaps more. Her hatred is intersectional.

    Also, SJWism can be viewed as a vehicle for "non-white" ethnic chauvinisms, but it's not the only vehicle. Some black supremacists, for instance, are SJWs, but not all black supremacists buy into SJWism or even pretend to.

    As for "non-white" "cucks", again, it depends. A man can be a political cuck in one area but not others. And a non-white SJW male can be a cuck on race too, just seldom to whites. Who/whom.

    Well Jim Crow laws were far more than "attitudes and beliefs," and they were unambiguously racist.

    There's no question that some Jews supported the Civil Rights movement as part of a larger strategy against white goyim per se, but it does no one any good to equate the current year definition of racism with the very real racism that existed long after Trotsky was killed.

    The great thing about being in the social justice movement is how liberating it can feel to give voice to incendiary, satisfying bigotry — and know that you’re still on the right side of history.
     

    Of course, in the next segment he does get in some standard anti-Trump gibes in order to maintain his bona fides: "America was founded in cruelty." Trump's immigration policy "was a premeditated, conscious attempt to hurt vulnerable children in order to deter future would-be asylum seekers." Etc.

    I wish that commenters on this and other threads and forums would desist from calling non-whites "SJW's". Only white people can be SJW's since only whites will promote the interests of other ethnic groups even when - or especially when - it is to the detriment of their own. Non whites would never do that. They adopt the language of SJW-ism and pretend to share the white SJW belief system but are really just in it to gain power and influence - and jobs and money - for their own ethnic group.

    I have the same problem with commenters calling non white liberal/lefty men "cucks". A cuck can only be a white man, since only whites will raise another m,an's ideology. With non-whites its all about using the language of liberal/leftism to acquire power and resources for their own kind.

    I disagree on a few levels.

    First, SJWism isn’t just about race. I do not doubt that Sarah Jeong hates Korean men just as much as she hates white women. Perhaps more. Her hatred is intersectional.

    Also, SJWism can be viewed as a vehicle for “non-white” ethnic chauvinisms, but it’s not the only vehicle. Some black supremacists, for instance, are SJWs, but not all black supremacists buy into SJWism or even pretend to.

    As for “non-white” “cucks”, again, it depends. A man can be a political cuck in one area but not others. And a non-white SJW male can be a cuck on race too, just seldom to whites. Who/whom.

    You are correct sir. Contrast Trump with the feeble-minded, buffoon George W. Bush who stated that the event that upset him the most during his presidency was when some negro rapper called him a racist after the hurricane hit New Orleans.

    Being called a racist by a negro upset him, not the fact that he killed millions of people, including thousands of US military men, under the false pretenses that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons. That apparently doesn't bother him at all.

    The Bush reaction is what left demands of all white men. You must be very upset if someone "of color" calls you a racist and grovel like a bitch to prove that you love them. Failure to do so proves that you are a racist.

    I guess since Jews are Caucasians, and Caucasians are subhuman scum with no dignity or individuality, we need to re-write the history books claiming the Nazi’s were a racist party. Jews are white, and so you can’t be racist against Jews. The only problem with the Nazi’s is the scope of their hatred and dehumanization wasn’t wide enough for today’s Progs.

    Turns out the Nazis were only seeking to purify the Volk of a particular form of white privilege, and should be recognized as the “woke” social justice warriors of their time. Now we are expanding the “circle of concern” to the whole Caucasian genetic line.

    This is so silly. What’s going on is that the critical studies guys just redefined the word “racism” so that it doesn’t apply to whites. Fine, just say that. “Using the meaning of ‘racism’ used by many social scientists, whites cannot be the victims of racism.”

    The word preexisted this redefinition. These guys don’t own the word. Using the linguistics concept of descriptive lexicography, you can indeed apply the word to bigotry against whites. In other words, a word means what native speakers take it to mean. There is no word god dictating the meaning of a word. That theory, discredited by modern linguists, is called prescriptive lexicography. If a lexicographer compiles a corpus of usage for racism, something that you can find in the Oxford English Dictionary, it will include many examples of the word “racism” used by native speakers, including black native speakers, to describe bigotry against whites. The same goes for the phrase “reverse racism.”

    So a more coherent statement than “whites cannot be the victim of racism” would be “racist-like speech against whites does not harm them as much as similar speech against blacks … because blacks are super fragile about this stuff due to the fact that they are followed around in stores, people ask to touch their hair, 10 percent of them are killed by cops every year, and they have been victims of discriminatory ‘standardized tests.’ Oh, and also in the distant past they were like chained up or something.”

  64. The left’s argument for systematic racism is that blacks and browns experience worse socio-economic outcomes than whites, which isn’t a bad argument if you have a blank slate view of race.

    However, an overlooked floor in this argument is that a sizeable minority of blacks and browns (the talented tenth) don’t experience worse outcomes that whites, while working class whites experience noticeably worse outcomes than the top ten percent of blacks and browns. Hence, the talented tenth should always be taken to task when accusing whites in general of racism. Where is the objective evidence they are being repressed?Why should they be allowed to call whites in general racist when many whites are objectively worse off then they are? By leftist definitions of racism, a working class white can’t be accused of being racist to say, Barack Obama, since socio-economic underdogs can’t systematically repress the wealthy and powerful.

    Hence, if you’re a mainstream right-winger who is unable to resort to race realism, follow intersectionality theory and post modern principles (only the victim can talk for the victim) and insist that only lower class blacks be allowed to bring forward claims of racism.

    I’ll have to look through that Pew report, but at first glance, those projections look wildly optimistic.

    I enjoy demography–or at least find it interesting. The last time i looked through the CDC birth data a few years back Hispanics were already near 25% of the births. I.e. near a million out of four million a year. (They’d gone over a million a year–25%–during peak bubble but have ebbed back maybe a percent.) And they continue to have higher fertility–though it’s gone down–than any other major racial group. And they continue to come–legally and illegally.

    There’s simply no way you get from those realities to 24% Hispanic 50 years out.

    You’ll be at 24% in 35 years, with immigration closed. And while much, much larger immigration flows from other regions could hold that number in check, is it really plausible that Hispanics will be <24% of our immigration flows anytime soon? And if that happens what would be the source to make it happen–seems like that would take a flood of blacks along the lines of Steve's "world's most important graph". Which is contradicted by the black percentage.

    Given that the current birth cohorts are something like:
    50% White
    23% Hispanic
    16% Black
    7% Asian
    4% other
    and these cohorts will be solidly in the old half–50years old–in 2065, their model–barring some striking changes in immigration policy and fertility rates is impossible.

    Just throwing out a SWAG, but i think much more realistic for 2065–unless we really turn it around–would be something like:
    — 41% White
    — 30% "Hispanic"
    — 10% Asian
    — 16% Black
    — 4% "other"
    (1% both black and Hispanic). And that's *not* allowing a big surge from Africa.

    Don't rule out insurance fraud. Particularly on the Mediterranean, Black, or Caspian Seas.

    I'll have to look through that Pew report, but at first glance, those projections look wildly optimistic.

    I enjoy demography--or at least find it interesting. The last time i looked through the CDC birth data a few years back Hispanics were already near 25% of the births. I.e. near a million out of four million a year. (They'd gone over a million a year--25%--during peak bubble but have ebbed back maybe a percent.) And they continue to have higher fertility--though it's gone down--than any other major racial group. And they continue to come--legally and illegally.

    There's simply no way you get from those realities to 24% Hispanic 50 years out.

    You'll be at 24% in 35 years, with immigration closed. And while much, much larger immigration flows from other regions could hold that number in check, is it really plausible that Hispanics will be <24% of our immigration flows anytime soon? And if that happens what would be the source to make it happen--seems like that would take a flood of blacks along the lines of Steve's "world's most important graph". Which is contradicted by the black percentage.

    Given that the current birth cohorts are something like:
    50% White
    23% Hispanic
    16% Black
    7% Asian
    4% other
    and these cohorts will be solidly in the old half--50years old--in 2065, their model--barring some striking changes in immigration policy and fertility rates is impossible.


    Just throwing out a SWAG, but i think much more realistic for 2065--unless we really turn it around--would be something like:
    -- 41% White
    -- 30% "Hispanic"
    -- 10% Asian
    -- 16% Black
    -- 4% "other"
    (1% both black and Hispanic). And that's *not* allowing a big surge from Africa.

    You are likely right. My point was that it’s a white extinction curve.

  79. Leftists hold the Humpty Dumpty theory of language (from Lewis Carroll). Words mean what Leftists say they mean, neither more nor less. “Racism” meant “prejudice and bigotry” fifty years ago. Now it means something else. That’s one reason (not the only one) that rational argument with a Leftist us so difficult. Words mean different things to them than they do to us, and their meanings keep changing.

    You want to see systematic oppression and marginalization of minority groups? This is how it's done. Half a century of amnesia is right.

    This is one reason to avoid the term racist, and use "anti-white". Even the leftist MSM is now picking it up, like the term White Nationalist. For one, it gives the left a new context that it is hard to argue with. And it also undermines the currency of the term "racist/racism", forged as they were by cultural Marxists or actual Marxists.

    I’ve never quite understood this. It’s like the enemy puts billions into researching, developing, and deploying a super-weapon, and we’re going to refuse to use it because…this is never quite explained. It’s like “nukes, those are the weapons of the infidel,” or something.

    I’ve always thought that using the enemy’s super-weapon is a good idea, because you invested nothing in it but you can scoop it up and use it like anyone else, thus leveraging the billions they spent implementing it, free of charge; who gives a shit who forged it?

    IMO, when we call them racist, we’re leveraging the same indoctrination they are when they use it, except against them.

    And to go one better, they then respond with indifference, or better yet, “only whites can be racist,” undermining the effectiveness of their weapon which is itself revealed as the racist weapon of racists.

    It’s also possible to undermine it with how it’s used, e.g., by saying it in a detached, James Spader kind of way, as if you’re describing the behavior of ants.

    No, to me it's like being the VC and not agreeing to meet the USA in the open battle field with battle dress on. The USA has invested in these superweapons, but all you need is a tiny amount of materiel that comes in through a porous jungle border to continue to prosecute your war in a low key way, until they give up. It's like the AK-47 vs M16 - if you have a large quantity of lower IQ people who aren't too good at cleaning weapons, not much money, you want the AK. You don't want the M16 even though it's had a lot more money invested in it.

    I see how DR3 has been used over the course of a lifetime, and it doesn't red pill. It doesn't break the conditioning. If you use "anti-white", it fosters a them vs us mindset. If you use "racist", it fosters a martyr attitude, of let's hold hands with all the colors of the world. You might tell off blacks murdering your people, but you won't phrase it like that, you'll instead preface it with remarks about how some of your best friends are black, and that it was a horrible thing that happened to that poor Emmett Till, lest any of your friends think you are racist. And when your friends notice you make a remark about some non-white murdering a white, they may say "Why are you stirring up racism, brah? You haven't been looking at the racist web sites?" And you'll say, nah, I don't want people to think I'm racist.

    In exactly the same way, we've won the war of White Supremacist vs White Nationalist. The media now uses our term. They invested a lot in terming us White Supremacists, when all we want to do is control our countries and have them for ourselves. The WS term repels normies, and maybe WN does to some extent but a lot of people think - maybe these guys have a point.

    It's amusing to notice the new wave of "Russophobia" among genteel New Class types. I live in N. California and find the local Russian & Uke immigrants slightly obnoxious -- they don't make a public display, but clearly come from "low trust" cultures as evidenced by their tendency for scamming and exploiting everyone else's property (and each other's FAIK). Also their personalities run the gamut from insincere wheedling to pushy/crass; they're like Middle Easterners minus the sexism. But unlike Jews, Italians and Irish and more lately Armenians & Chinese they don't have their own well established pressure group that hounds hapless media flunkies for every story that might put Russkies in a negative light. So if you're too much of a coward to be a Sarah Jeong tweet-sturmer, bashing Russians is an acceptable, oddly compliant mode of anti-white kvetching now...

    Bashing Palestinians is another perennial. Zios and their cucks say stuff about Palestinians that makes WNs blush*.

    * I was going to use some great example of the worst anti-black racist in history, but since I don’t really keep up with this sort of question, I had to resort to g**gle search. But their engine has declined so far that I could only get shitty democrat talking points like how Confederate monuments and flags must be destroyed, how Trump is literally Hitler, etc. Clown world.
