thelibertydaily--2020-06-19--This “White Privilege” Collectivist Crap And The Proper Response To It

Here at The Hayride , I have remained somewhat quiet about this ridiculous moment in American history , in which we are required to accept a certain ideological perspective as fact or else suffer the consequence of the current cancel culture .
It ’ s a rare sight to land on a website belonging to an entity of corporate America without being assaulted by messaging proclaiming that said corporate entity is on board with Black Lives Matter , and is thus donating x-amount of dollars to some outfit which purportedly furthers the cause of promoting racial equality , or the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privilege.
” It doesn ’ t take a detailed examination to understand what any of that really is .
These are corporations who are paying protection money to Democrat entities in order to insure that , in the event that Joe Biden wins the presidential election in November , they are the ones the crocodile eats last .
And this entire ridiculous moment involves an ethnocentric narrative of the United States which demands that you accept the idea that race is the primary driver of the American experience , when this is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not founded on race , but rather an idea – the idea that regardless of your ethnicity or your ancestry , you are entitled to the same intellectual and legal patrimony , and the benefits from it , that all of us within these shores are entitled to .
It ’ s disgusting .
It reduces the 250 years of America ’ s existence to almost nothing , as though our history was little more than a New World reprise of the Hun conquest or an improvement over what the Golden Horde were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Not a single American , regardless of ethnicity , should fail to be insulted at such an offensive suggestion .
It is repugnant in the extreme given what we have striven for as a people .
You can get angry about this rhetorical atrocity if you want .
You won ’ t be wrong if you do .
I ’ m disgusted as well , because it ’ s the same old story that ’ s been the case for 100 years or more .
There are people who like to flirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words of Alfred Pennyworth , who like to watch the world burn .
There are also people who simply don ’ t get what we are up against as a society .
Remember , it was Lenin who first noted that a capitalist will sell you the rope by which you hang him .
It ’ s uncomfortable for normal folks to look at a moment like this , or any of the previous moments in human history in which the Hard Left was coming for regular people with an eye toward disrupting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly when you recognize the full menu of horrors on the table .
Few people want to react to statist activism with the same vigor the radicals offer , especially when capitalism is loath to respond with death squads or street-brawlers .
And I don ’ t think this is Cuba in 1958 or Russia in 1917 .
I don ’ t watch enough TV to be so dispirited as to believe that .
But in America in 2020 , we have the benefit of human experience and we damn sure ought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ progresses any further .
We already know not only what Marxist economics produce .
We also know what cultural Marxist sociology produces .
We ’ ve seen it .
Thanks to the recent societal moment , with all its hard-core idiocy , we ’ ve seen it in technicolor .
We ’ ve seen it in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone ( CHAZ ) , probably better described as Antifastan , in Seattle .
There , we ’ ve seen that , in the absence of the Western capitalist society derived from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the conduct of modern life possible , all hell breaks loose .
But I ’ m taking this moment as it comes .
As Kurt Schlichter says , there is no reason to lose one ’ s cool over current events .
If you ’ re able to apply a degree of composure , there is much reason to have faith the vast silent majority of Americans will in time express their opinions , and the full weight of that judgment is entirely likely to descend like an anvil upon the overrated radical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This isn ’ t likely to last .
It ’ s a fad .
But having said that , I can ’ t just play Pollyanna and hope for the best , even though I believe it ’ s coming .
Something more has to be said , and I don ’ t see quite enough people saying it .
Because it isn ’ t enough to reject the garbage rhetoric of the Left on the basis of their results .
It ’ s worse than that .
The fundamentals of the Antifa/Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they must be challenged at their root .
But the worst of this is the race angle , which is the genesis of this business of “ privilege ” the majority of Americans are now required to wear a hair-shirt over .
What I hate most about this stupid moment is this demand that I think of myself as “ white.
” I ’ m disgusted at the idea that I have to think of myself as much of anything .
I ’ m not a big Ron Paul fan , but one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on was that racism is collectivism , and I am absolutely not a collectivist .
Here ’ s a quick thought experiment that will enforce that reality – who ’ s the Irish-American , or Korean-American , or Polish-American , Jesse Jackson ?
You can ’ t name him , and that ’ s not because you ’ re not suitably informed – there are no such people .
Those groups have done pretty damned well in America because they operate mostly on the basis of family and individual achievement and not on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a societal dumpster fire of irreparable repute .
Start in with race , and in this discussion you drop out family , the primary determinant of individual mobility , and your argument becomes garbage as far as I ’ m concerned .
I think of myself as American , not white .
And if i have to break it down further than that I think of myself as either Scottish , which is half of my ancestry ( the “ macaoidh ” you see in the byline above is the Gaelic spelling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name ) or Cajun , which is the other half .
And if I ’ m going to assess myself and who I am in the context of what “ privilege ” or whatever it is you impose on me , I ’ m going to demand the experience of my family , which is by no means without adversity despite the fact I ’ m damned proud of my ancestors , be brought into consideration .
Mt people weren ’ t nobility .
My people were dirt poor .
They came to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they came with nothing but the shirts on their backs .
So far as I know , none of them ever owned a slave .
If I ’ m “ privileged , ” it ’ s because I stand on the shoulders of some tough people who busted their rear ends to earn that privilege for me , and the last thing you ’ ll ever get me to do is to trash their efforts by accepting guilt for their accomplishments .
Making me “ white ” lumps me in with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give a damn about .
I have less in common with Polish Americans in Wisconsin than I do with black Americans in Baton Rouge .
On what basis do you insist otherwise ?
Because of what ?
Skin color ?
How dare you ?
And who are you to allege every black person around me is oppressed and wretched ?
Who ’ s the racist in that conversation ?
And reducing me to “ white ” and then demanding that I apologize for it makes me want to punch your lights out .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Italian Fascists and German Nazis who identified certain classes , or racial groups , and then insisted they somehow suddenly bore collective responsibility for whatever negative results which had to be addressed by public policy , or worse…leading all the way up to genocide .
To me , this is actionable in a kinetic fashion .
Take that how you will .
I ’ m pretty sure I ’ m not alone in reacting this way .
And I know I ’ m not alone in categorically rejecting the idea that my reaction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reaction is specifically based on a rejection of race as the animating factor of my existence .
And yours .
I don ’ t work that way .
Why , beyond your bullshit politics , do you ?
It doesn ’ t at least offend your sense of humanity to operate that way ?
What these morons are doing is forcing people of European ancestry , and specifically those of European ancestry who are justifiably proud of their ethnicity , into a mentality in which they see themselves as an aggrieved class of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re FUELING what they would term “ white supremacy ” rather than destroying it .
Nothing good comes from doing this .
Nothing good ever comes from forcing people into a collective mentality which isn ’ t inclusive of a national identity , which is certainly not what today ’ s Left is trying to do to us .
I think they know all this .
I think it ’ s reasonable to make them answer for their rhetoric along these lines .
I think people they categorize as “ white ” are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you come from a continent with one of the most diverse cultural patrimonies on the planet it somehow brands you as a member of some overbroad demographic group you don ’ t even recognize as yours .
After all , they ’ ve attempted to lump all the people currently living in Europe into the same kind of collective existence the racial bean-counters are trying to impose on their ethnic cousins in America , and the Europeans are fairly resistant to being so corralled .
Especially when what you likely want more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an American .
This is all about divide-and-conquer .
What it ’ s really about is destroying your patriotism .
I will not participate .
I reject the demand that I be forced to participate .
I will not be forced into your demographic shock-troop cadres .
I absolutely refuse to allow you to define me in any way that I do not choose .
You do not have the right to impose that upon me .
In fact , I will fight you to the bitter end on this score , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And that should be read to recognize no limit whatsoever .
The American experience which has survived from the beginning of the nation ’ s existence , from the Boston Massacre to the March on Washington , to the address atop the heap of 9/11 debris , is mine .
It ’ s mine .
All of it .
It ’ s not yours .
Not when you claim it in a different context than I do .
Particularly when you don ’ t believe in the principles which could make it yours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the same time you claim Che Guevara or Ethel Rosenberg or Emma Goldman .
By your affinity for those atrocious people you disqualify yourself as an inheritor of my American patrimony , which you in any event disparage as somehow dishonorable or morally deficient .
And I will not surrender it to you .
No matter what you demand , and no matter what you propose to take from me .
You are not stronger than I am , and you will not win this fight .
You will lose , no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or hundreds of millions of American patriots who stand with me , have to sacrifice to insure you lose .
Your move , commies .
How far are you willing to go ?

Here at The Hayride, I have remained somewhat quiet about this ridiculous moment in American history, in which we are required to accept a certain ideological perspective as fact or else suffer the consequence of the current cancel culture. It’s a rare sight to land on a website belonging to an entity of corporate America without being assaulted by messaging proclaiming that said corporate entity is on board with Black Lives Matter, and is thus donating x-amount of dollars to some outfit which purportedly furthers the cause of promoting racial equality, or the elimination of or amelioration of “white privilege.”
It doesn’t take a detailed examination to understand what any of that really is. These are corporations who are paying protection money to Democrat entities in order to insure that, in the event that Joe Biden wins the presidential election in November, they are the ones the crocodile eats last.

Do we fall short of that ideal? Of course we do. All people, and all collections of people, fall short of their ideals. That’s why they’re called ideals. But no country has come closer to meeting its ideals than has the United States of America.
And yet this brilliant moral and intellectual patrimony is constantly micturated upon. So pervasive has the disparaging of America become that a Drew Brees is forced to quickly apologize for making a rather anodyne statement of patriotism.
It’s disgusting. It reduces the 250 years of America’s existence to almost nothing, as though our history was little more than a New World reprise of the Hun conquest or an improvement over what the Golden Horde were able to pull off in their day.

Left-wing media that pushes BLM protests and massive black crowds preparing to blame TRUMP rallies for “second wave” of infections
The mainstream media is freaking out over President Donald Trump's upcoming rally – the first since the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis – in Tulsa, Oklahoma, because of the "threat" it poses in spreading more disease. But this same media is praising the massive "Black Lives Matter" and Antifa demonstrations because those are different.
NBC News, for instance, recently tweeted a photo of thousands of people rallying in and around the Brooklyn Museum plaza in New York City for "black trans lives." This massive gathering, the fake news outlet contended, was somehow no big deal because it was for a cause that NBC News apparently supports.
"Protesters packed the courtyard of the Brooklyn Museum and surrounding parkway in New York City on Sunday in support of Black trans lives, merging the fight to protect two deeply marginalized groups," NBC News wrote in glowing adoration of the event, noting that attendance would be "likely in the thousands."
"As the country rallies behind dismantling racist systems that put Black lives at risk in the wake of George Floyd's death, activists have also put a lens on Black trans people who are at the intersection of two dangerously marginalized groups," the fake news outlet went on to state.
After President Trump announced his rally, however, the tune quickly changed. Not only did the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) suddenly become an issue – NBC News did not even mention the pandemic when reporting on the "black trans lives" rally – but so did Trump's alleged carelessness about the alleged public health risks associated with gathering his supporters together in one space.
"President Trump plans to rally his supporters next Saturday for the first time since most of the country was shuttered by the coronavirus," NBC News reported, using vastly different language and tone compared to its reporting on the "black trans lives" rally.
"But health experts are questioning that decision," it went on to report.
Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks about how the left-wing agenda and its support for terrorism is actually helping Trump to win the election this fall:
Why does coronavirus only spread when conservatives do things?
Hilariously, NBC News went on to warn that "health experts" are supposedly concerned about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "spreading among the crowd" at Trump's rally. "Large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and attendees travel from outside the local area," could "spark outbreaks when people return to their homes" NBC News added, quoting the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
And it is not just the indoor part of Trump's rally that NBC News is fear-mongering about. The fake news outlet is also concerned about Trump supporters standing "outside in line for hours" before "cramming into an arena" because in both scenarios they are standing "side by side" or "shoulder to shoulder."
Trump rallies, according to Dr. Ashish Jha, director of Harvard University's Global Health Institute, represent "an extraordinarily dangerous move for the people participating and the people who may know them and love them and see them afterward."
We almost shed a tear at this emotional plea before quickly recognizing that neither Dr. Jha nor NBC News nor any of the other left-wing hacks decrying Trump rallies has said a word about Antifa and BLM terrorists gathering together side by side and shoulder to shoulder to do whatever it is they are doing every day in the streets of America.
"The hypocrisy of the media is just amazing," wrote one Breitbart News commenter.
"Go ahead and demonstrate. No need to worry about the virus. But if you go to a Trump rally, you'll be a mass murderer by spreading the virus. Seriously? They can't have it both ways, but they'll surely try."

Meet Your New Commissar

Black Studies star Ibram X. Kendi has plans for you .
Among the byproducts of the worldwide mayhem and destruction carried out in solemn memory of career criminal George Floyd is that books on racism are selling almost as briskly as guns .
As I write this , the # 3 bestseller on Amazon is something called How to Be an Antiracist by one Ibram X. Kendi .
This book is Kendi ’ s third .
The first was The Black Campus Movement : Black Students and the Racial Reconstitution of Higher Education , 1965–1972 ( 2012 ) ; the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America ( 2016 ) , won the National Book Award , led to a Guggenheim Fellowship , and propelled Kendi , three years ago , from a low-level teaching job at the University of Florida to a position as full professor and head of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University .
Next month , in a further move up the academic ladder , Kendi , age 37 , will take up a plum post as director of the brand-new Boston University Center for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ publish Antiracist Baby , a “ board book ” for very young children ( already # 15 on Amazon ) “ that introduces the youngest readers and the grown-ups in their lives to the concept and power of anti-racism.
” But we ’ re here to talk about How to Be an Antiracist , in which Kendi frames his life story as an account of how he came to understand race properly .
Born Ibram Henry Rogers in Queens , N.Y. , Kendi was raised by liberationist Christians who encouraged him to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of hand even for them .
By seven years old he had become a veritable Greta Thunberg of race , challenging the only black teacher at a school in which his parents were thinking of enrolling him : Smart kid ?
Not exactly .
In high school , Kendi tells us , his “ SAT score barely cracked 1000 , ” so he thought he was “ too dumb for college.
” He now believes that “ intelligence is as subjective as beauty ” and that he ’ d been wrong to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like test scores and report cards , to judge myself.
” As a teen , we learn , he “ hated what they called civilization ” and “ was an intuitive believer in multiculturalism.
” As an undergrad at Florida A & M , he decided that white people were space aliens .
( Yes , literally . )
He went on to Temple University , where he received a doctorate in African American Studies , which , like all “ identity studies ” disciplines , is a load of hogwash designed for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too dumb for college .
Never having encountered a real idea , they ’ re presented with a handful of simple statements about group identity and oppression and are told that they ’ re in the presence of sophisticated theories .
Meanwhile , on the other side of campus , people their age are learning how to build skyscrapers , perform brain surgery , and cure diseases .
If you doubt this , then by all means read Kendi ’ s book , because it ’ s proof positive of just how dumb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a human race divided neatly into racists and antiracists and dreams of a golden future time in which everyone will be antiracist , and where everything , consequently , will be just dandy .
It ’ s not enough , mind you , to be non-racist ; no , if you ’ re not actively struggling against racism you ’ re a part of the problem .
And what a problem it is !
In an interview this month , the black author Shelby Steele told Mark Levin : “ Blacks have never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Opportunity is around every corner.
” Contrast this with Kendi , who maintains : “ Our world is suffering from metastatic cancer .
Stage 4 .
Racism has spread to nearly every part of the body politic , intersecting with bigotry of all kinds.
” What , he asks , “ if we treated racism in the way we treat cancer ?
” He elaborates : Saturate the body politic with the chemotherapy or immunotherapy of antiracist policies that shrink the tumors of racial inequities , that kill undetectable cancer cells .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ way surgeons remove the tumors .
Ensure there are clear margins , meaning no cancer cells of inequity left in the body politic , only the healthy cells of equity .
Encourage the consumption of healthy foods for thought and the regular exercising of antiracist ideas , to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence .
Monitor the body politic closely , especially where the tumors of racial inequity previously existed .
Detect and treat a recurrence early , before it can grow and threaten the body politic .
If Kendi is preoccupied with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he recounts in this book , he was recently cured of stage-4 colon cancer – very much against the odds – by six months of chemotherapy followed by an operation .
This is a man who considers affirmative action obligatory in every sector : “ The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination .

The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.
” But would Kendi really want to be treated by oncologists and surgeons who barely cracked 1000 on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school – and got hired by some hospital – only because of their race ?
How does Kendi define anti-racism ?
“ To be antiracist , ” he argues , “ is to reject cultural standards and level cultural difference.
” In her recent book The Diversity Delusion , Heather Mac Donald examines the vexing fact that black students consistently score far lower on standardized tests than members of other groups .
This can ’ t be blamed on poverty or racism : even well-off black kids routinely do worse than , say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s impossible not to look to cultural factors : fatherless families , for example , and communities that encourage criminality and that mock studiousness .
But Kendi isn ’ t having it .
In his view , it ’ s racist to measure the performance of young blacks and to compare it to that of kids from other groups .
Yes , he says , if some individual black kid does poorly in school , it ’ s OK to try to deal with his problem ; but to notice that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and to try to figure out why and to address it responsibly ?
No .
Because then you ’ re indicting black culture .
And culture is not to be questioned or criticized .
The same goes for black crime .
To agonize over “ black on black crime , ” or to suggest that it ’ s unhealthy for black kids to grow up in neighborhoods dominated by drug dealers and heroin addicts and rampant gun violence , or to worry aloud about those kids being caught up in bad habits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future – all this is racist .
And if blacks express concern about such matters , well , they ’ re guilty of having bought into the rhetoric of white racists .
Quoting Mac Donald ’ s 2016 statement that “ [ t ] he core criminal-justice population is the black underclass , ” Kendi responds : “ This is the living legacy of racist power , constructing the Black race biologically and ethnically and presenting the Black body to the world first and foremost as a ‘ beast , ’ to use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as violently dangerous , as the dark embodiment of evil.
” Also racist , according to Kendi , is the contention by black Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley that high rates of black imprisonment aren ’ t the fault of racism but of “ black behavior.
” Antiracists , Kendi explains , know that “ there is no such thing as racial behavior….Black behavior is as fictitious as Black genes.
” Oh , and just so you know : to “ set the Black criminal alongside the White racist as the enemies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So is referring to somebody as “ playing the race card.
” For Kendi , even Barack Obama is a racist , because his Race to the Top and Common Core initiatives were founded on a belief in the “ achievement gap ” between black and white students .
Kendi acknowledges that these initiatives may have been well meant .
“ But what if , all along , these well-meaning efforts at closing the achievement gap have been opening the door to racist ideas ?
What if different environments lead to different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of achievement ?
What if the intellect of a low-testing Black child in a poor Black school is different from – and not inferior to – the intellect of a high-testing White child in a rich White school ?
” Is this really Kendi ’ s response to the reality of high-school seniors who can ’ t write a simple sentence or add a column of figures , but who ’ ve already fathered children out of wedlock and committed armed robberies ?
Not that Kendi exempts himself from criticism .
“ Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in ‘ inner city ’ Black neighborhoods too often recall the violence we experienced more than the nonviolence .
We don ’ t write about all those days we were not faced with guns in our ribs .
We don ’ t retell all those days we did not fight , the days we didn ’ t watch someone get beaten in front of us.

” Society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in racism , but racists deny it because “ racism is steeped in denial.
” I would submit that his own refusal to face up to the chronic problems of the black American subculture is a textbook case of denial .
In a long passage about America before , during , and after the Civil War , Kendi refers to white Southern slaveowners as “ enslavers.
” Yes , he admits , the slaves they owned were actually turned into chattel by fellow blacks back in Africa , but somehow that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t have a twenty-first-century concept of race .
Even as he plays down the transgressions of those black enslavers , Kendi smears abolitionists for being insufficiently woke and deep-sixes the more than 350,000 white Union soldiers who died to free black slaves .
For Kendi , the paramount task of humankind is to join in one great movement of antiracist instruction and persuasion , in which antiracists continuously refine their methods until they finally succeed in ushering in a “ world of equity ” – that is , not equality of opportunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s call for mass indoctrination brings to mind the Chinese Cultural Revolution , during which doctors , lawyers , and other professionals were shipped to the countryside to be “ re-educated ” by peasants .

Among the byproducts of the worldwide mayhem and destruction carried out in solemn memory of career criminal George Floyd is that books on racism are selling almost as briskly as guns. As I write this, the #3 bestseller on Amazon is something called How to Be an Antiracist by one Ibram X. Kendi.
This book is Kendi’s third. The first was The Black Campus Movement: Black Students and the Racial Reconstitution of Higher Education, 1965–1972 (2012); the second, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America (2016), won the National Book Award, led to a Guggenheim Fellowship, and propelled Kendi, three years ago, from a low-level teaching job at the University of Florida to a position as full professor and head of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University.
Next month, in a further move up the academic ladder, Kendi, age 37, will take up a plum post as director of the brand-new Boston University Center for Antiracist Research. He’ll also publish Antiracist Baby, a “board book” for very young children (already #15 on Amazon) “that introduces the youngest readers and the grown-ups in their lives to the concept and power of anti-racism.”
But we’re here to talk about How to Be an Antiracist, in which Kendi frames his life story as an account of how he came to understand race properly. Born Ibram Henry Rogers in Queens, N.Y., Kendi was raised by liberationist Christians who encouraged him to be a rebel. But he soon got out of hand even for them. By seven years old he had become a veritable Greta Thunberg of race, challenging the only black teacher at a school in which his parents were thinking of enrolling him:
“Are you the only Black teacher?” “Yes, but—” I cut her off. “Why are you the only Black teacher?”… “Why are you asking that question?” she asked nicely. “If you have so many Black kids, you should have more Black teachers,” I said. “The school hasn’t hired more Black teachers.” “Why?” “I don’t know.” “Why don’t you know?”
Smart kid? Not exactly. In high school, Kendi tells us, his “SAT score barely cracked 1000,” so he thought he was “too dumb for college.” He now believes that “intelligence is as subjective as beauty” and that he’d been wrong to use “‘objective’ standards, like test scores and report cards, to judge myself.” As a teen, we learn, he “hated what they called civilization” and “was an intuitive believer in multiculturalism.” As an undergrad at Florida A&M, he decided that white people were space aliens. (Yes, literally.)
He went on to Temple University, where he received a doctorate in African American Studies, which, like all “identity studies” disciplines, is a load of hogwash designed for people who are otherwise, yes, too dumb for college. Never having encountered a real idea, they’re presented with a handful of simple statements about group identity and oppression and are told that they’re in the presence of sophisticated theories. Meanwhile, on the other side of campus, people their age are learning how to build skyscrapers, perform brain surgery, and cure diseases.
If you doubt this, then by all means read Kendi’s book, because it’s proof positive of just how dumb African American Studies is. Kendi paints a human race divided neatly into racists and antiracists and dreams of a golden future time in which everyone will be antiracist, and where everything, consequently, will be just dandy. It’s not enough, mind you, to be non-racist; no, if you’re not actively struggling against racism you’re a part of the problem.
And what a problem it is! In an interview this month, the black author Shelby Steele told Mark Levin: “Blacks have never been less oppressed than they are today. Opportunity is around every corner.” Contrast this with Kendi, who maintains: “Our world is suffering from metastatic cancer. Stage 4. Racism has spread to nearly every part of the body politic, intersecting with bigotry of all kinds.” What, he asks, “if we treated racism in the way we treat cancer?” He elaborates:
Saturate the body politic with the chemotherapy or immunotherapy of antiracist policies that shrink the tumors of racial inequities, that kill undetectable cancer cells. Remove any remaining racist policies, the way surgeons remove the tumors. Ensure there are clear margins, meaning no cancer cells of inequity left in the body politic, only the healthy cells of equity. Encourage the consumption of healthy foods for thought and the regular exercising of antiracist ideas, to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence. Monitor the body politic closely, especially where the tumors of racial inequity previously existed. Detect and treat a recurrence early, before it can grow and threaten the body politic.
If Kendi is preoccupied with cancer, it’s because, as he recounts in this book, he was recently cured of stage-4 colon cancer – very much against the odds – by six months of chemotherapy followed by an operation. This is a man who considers affirmative action obligatory in every sector: “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” But would Kendi really want to be treated by oncologists and surgeons who barely cracked 1000 on the SATs and who got into med school – and got hired by some hospital – only because of their race?
How does Kendi define anti-racism? “To be antiracist,” he argues, “is to reject cultural standards and level cultural difference.” In her recent book The Diversity Delusion, Heather Mac Donald examines the vexing fact that black students consistently score far lower on standardized tests than members of other groups. This can’t be blamed on poverty or racism: even well-off black kids routinely do worse than, say, South Asians from poor families. It’s impossible not to look to cultural factors: fatherless families, for example, and communities that encourage criminality and that mock studiousness.
But Kendi isn’t having it. In his view, it’s racist to measure the performance of young blacks and to compare it to that of kids from other groups. Yes, he says, if some individual black kid does poorly in school, it’s OK to try to deal with his problem; but to notice that black kids as a group do poorly, and to try to figure out why and to address it responsibly? No. Because then you’re indicting black culture. And culture is not to be questioned or criticized.
The same goes for black crime. To agonize over “black on black crime,” or to suggest that it’s unhealthy for black kids to grow up in neighborhoods dominated by drug dealers and heroin addicts and rampant gun violence, or to worry aloud about those kids being caught up in bad habits and losing their chances for a better future – all this is racist. And if blacks express concern about such matters, well, they’re guilty of having bought into the rhetoric of white racists.
Quoting Mac Donald’s 2016 statement that “[t]he core criminal-justice population is the black underclass,” Kendi responds: “This is the living legacy of racist power, constructing the Black race biologically and ethnically and presenting the Black body to the world first and foremost as a ‘beast,’ to use Gomes de Zurara’s term, as violently dangerous, as the dark embodiment of evil.”
Also racist, according to Kendi, is the contention by black Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley that high rates of black imprisonment aren’t the fault of racism but of “black behavior.” Antiracists, Kendi explains, know that “there is no such thing as racial behavior….Black behavior is as fictitious as Black genes.” Oh, and just so you know: to “set the Black criminal alongside the White racist as the enemies of the people” is also racist. So is referring to somebody as “playing the race card.”
For Kendi, even Barack Obama is a racist, because his Race to the Top and Common Core initiatives were founded on a belief in the “achievement gap” between black and white students. Kendi acknowledges that these initiatives may have been well meant. “But what if, all along, these well-meaning efforts at closing the achievement gap have been opening the door to racist ideas?

We don’t retell all those days we did not fight, the days we didn’t watch someone get beaten in front of us.” This is like Jeffrey Daumer saying: “But what about all the guys I didn’t rape, kill, and eat?” Society today, Kendi asserts, is awash in racism, but racists deny it because “racism is steeped in denial.” I would submit that his own refusal to face up to the chronic problems of the black American subculture is a textbook case of denial.
In a long passage about America before, during, and after the Civil War, Kendi refers to white Southern slaveowners as “enslavers.” Yes, he admits, the slaves they owned were actually turned into chattel by fellow blacks back in Africa, but somehow that’s not so terrible because these Africans didn’t have a twenty-first-century concept of race. Even as he plays down the transgressions of those black enslavers, Kendi smears abolitionists for being insufficiently woke and deep-sixes the more than 350,000 white Union soldiers who died to free black slaves.
For Kendi, the paramount task of humankind is to join in one great movement of antiracist instruction and persuasion, in which antiracists continuously refine their methods until they finally succeed in ushering in a “world of equity” – that is, not equality of opportunity but equality of outcome. Kendi’s call for mass indoctrination brings to mind the Chinese Cultural Revolution, during which doctors, lawyers, and other professionals were shipped to the countryside to be “re-educated” by peasants. It’s rigid, humorless, and deeply disturbing. At the very end of the book he says that his goal is a world in which we can be “forever free,” but his notion of freedom is not yours or mine or that of the Founding Fathers.

And it’s gotten Kendi to the top of the heap. In return for his book-long whine about wealth, power, and authority, Kendi’s been amply rewarded with wealth, power, and authority. It’s depressing to see. Even more depressing is the thought of all those students in Kendi’s classrooms – and all the purchasers of his book – who think they’re acquiring wisdom from him when in fact they’re being brainwashed by a would-be commissar into a facile and dangerous ideology.

Well Twitter has just REMOVED it entirely .

Under the guise of a copyright complaint ( apparently filed – or solicited from – the family of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that let everyone else use it for a year ) , Twitter has now removed the video entirely .

Hard Lesson: CNN Builds Border Wall Around Atlanta Headquarters to Ward Off “Mostly Peaceful” Communist-Democrat Riots

CNN has erected a chain fence around its headquarters in Atlanta to protect against violent protests , leading some to joke that the news network had ‘ built a wall ’ .
“ CNN has put up a fence outside its HQ after the building was attacked during the riots in Atlanta a few weeks ago , ” tweeted Town Hall journalist Julio Rosas .
The images show a chain link fence around the entrance to the building in front of the large CNN sign .
Observers noted the irony of CNN ’ s criticism of Donald Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” while the news network was doing something similar .
“ I don ’ t understand , the protests are all peaceful , ” commented Mike Cernovich .
The CNN building in Atlanta was damaged during violent Black Lives Matter demonstrations last month before some protesters smashed windows and entered the lobby , leaving journalists fearing for their safety upstairs .
This was also somewhat ironic given that numerous CNN anchors and guests had lauded the protesters for weeks .
The aftermath of that damage can still be seen in the photos above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with plywood .

The CNN building in Atlanta was damaged during violent Black Lives Matter demonstrations last month before some protesters smashed windows and entered the lobby, leaving journalists fearing for their safety upstairs.
This was also somewhat ironic given that numerous CNN anchors and guests had lauded the protesters for weeks.
The aftermath of that damage can still be seen in the photos above, with some windows still boarded up with plywood.

thelibertydaily--2020-06-20--Democrats Worried Radical Climate Commies Could Derail Biden Chances

‘ They acted like insurgents within the party trying to stake out a left flank before the convention… ’ ( Michael Barnes , Liberty Headlines ) Democratic Party leaders panicked this month when the Democratic National Committee ’ s council on climate change produced a list of policy recommendations that were so radical , they could easily sink Joe Biden ’ s hopes of winning moderate battleground states in the November election .
“ I can assure you that the mere issuing of this report has already cost Democrats potential votes in places like Pennsylvania , Ohio and Michigan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coal-based United Mine Workers labor union .
The DNC Environment and Climate Crisis Council formed last year as a compromise between old-guard tax-and-spend progressives and younger socialist radicals who continue to drive the Democratic Party farther and farther left .
The climate-change council published its proposals for the Democrat general election platform on June 4 without consulting party leaders .
They call for an incredible $ 16 trillion in new spending and the government-forced extinction of fossil fuels .
The latter demand includes bans on hydraulic fracturing ( “ fracking ” ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gas to other countries .
According to Reuters , the council—heavily skewed by left-wing activists and “ environmental justice ” groups—blindsided party-establishment members with the 14-page document detailing its vision for the future , should Biden win .
“ They acted like insurgents within the party trying to stake out a left flank before the convention , ” a DNC source said .
“ It ’ s a nonstarter , ” another DNC source said .
“ Nobody takes them seriously .
Joe Biden will be writing the platform for our national convention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s own climate-change plan allots $ 1.7 trillion to transition to renewable energy and bans new oil and gas permits on public lands .
But it stops short of canceling fracking and oil exports .
Biden , 77 , has shown clear signs of cognitive breakdown , and he ’ s being advised by socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez , D-NY , as he attempts to connect with younger , activist voters , according to Reuters .
Ocasio–Cortez is a proud advocate of the Green New Deal , and there ’ s much speculation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brand-name candidate who would comfort voters during the election , only to usher in a far-left administration .
Michelle Deatrick , the chair of the Environment and Climate Crisis Council , said the council released its $ 16 trillion plan ahead of Biden ’ s in order to take control of the issue .
“ We are advocating to ensure these recommendations are adopted in the Democratic Party platform .
We have strong support , and are building a coalition of environmental groups , Democratic Party groups and more , ” she said @

thelibertydaily--2020-06-20--NBC’s ‘Expert’ Doctor Who Said He Survived Chi-Com Virus Never Tested Positive

‘ there was no mention of those negative tests – only that Fair had survived his battle with coronavirus… ’ ( Michael Barnes , Liberty Headlines ) Dr. Joseph Fair is a hero and we should all be listening to his expert medical advice and patterning our lives after him .
That ’ s how NBC News has framed Fair , the network ’ s new Wuhan virus “ outbreak responder.
” In his efforts to educate viewers about the deadly virus , Fair tragically contracted the disease .
“ If that virus can strike a guy like Dr. Fair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said Craig Melvin , co-host of NBC ’ s “ Today Show.
” But did he really contract the coronavirus ?
Steve Krakauer — formerly of NBC , CNN , Mediaite and The Blaze — is calling it “ fake news.
” “ There was something odd , though – that was brought up in the initial report but has been slowly removed from the reporting on this story that NBC News has done : Dr. Fair has been tested between five and seven times for coronavirus , and has never tested positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called Fourth Watch .
Krakauer combed through Fair ’ s various news reports and found numerous inconsistencies .
The tale begins when Fair claims to have contracted the Wuhan virus while on a plane to New Orleans around the time the city was engulfed with infections due to the mayor ’ s incompetent Mardi Gras response .
Fair , being a vaunted medical professional , said he took proper precautions and wore a mask and gloves .
He thought that the infection must have come through his eyes .
Krakauer asked a qualified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Fair contracted the virus through his eyes .
“ Unless he was sitting next to someone coughing or sneezing on him , the likelihood is extremely low , ” the physician said .
Fair issued several correspondent reports , including from a hospital bed , recounting symptom after symptom and at one point saying it was “ the worst I ’ d ever felt.
” But at no point did he ever test positive .
Fair blamed repeated negative tests on “ false negatives , ” and proceeded to take different tests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results undermined his self-diagnosis .
Krakauer said he interviewed a medical expert about Fair ’ s testing claims .
The expert agreed that false negatives can occur , but “ it still would be highly unlikely for the same person to have 5-7 false negatives in a row.
” In a subsequent report , Fair claimed vindication due to a “ borderline positive ” test , which is still a negative result .
He now claims to have shed the coronavirus before the various tests could confirm his infection , even though “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 17 days , not Fair ’ s stated 8 days , according to Krakauer .
Even so , Fair continues to promote his harrowing coronavirus experience across multiple NBC News properties .
“ Although NBC mentioned the lack of positive coronavirus tests in their reports May 13 and 14 , by May 18 on MSNBC , and “ Meet the Press ” last Sunday , there was no mention of those negative tests – only that Fair had survived his battle with coronavirus , ” Krakauer reported .

thelibertydaily--2020-06-19--CNN Fake News Beautifully Mocked After Erecting a ‘Racist’ ‘Border Wall’

The internet slams CNN for erecting protective barrier at headquarters : 'CNN built a wall '

CNN has been relentlessly fixated and critical of President Donald Trump's border wall ever since he made it a centerpiece of his 2016 campaign. There are 2,094 results on CNN's website under the search of "Trump border wall." On Twitter, CNN host Chris Cuomo has dozens of tweets lambasting Trump's wall on the U.S. southern border.
A January 2017 tweet from CNN's official Twitter account reads: "'BUILD BRIDGES NOT WALLS': Protests around the world during President Trump's #inauguration."
A January 2019 CNN opinion piece said: "In the same way, the wall may be becoming a 'clash of absolutes' that crystallizes the key 21st-century cultural divide over the nation's growing ethnic and racial diversity."
CNN sent White House correspondent Jim Acosta to the U.S.–Mexico border, where he attempted to show that walls don't work. However, the field trip to the wall backfired stupendously.
In a strange twist of hypocrisy, CNN has erected its own "wall" of sorts.
Three weeks ago, riots erupted in the city of Atlanta, and the violence spread to CNN's headquarters. Rioters destroyed glass, spray-painted graffiti on the huge "CNN" sign, and attempted to breach the cable TV news network's headquarters.
Following last weekend's deadly police shooting of Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy's drive-thru in Atlanta, the city is bracing for more protests and possibly riots. As of Friday afternoon, crowds had already begun to assemble outside the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta.
Julio Rosas, senior writer at Townhall, was on the ground in Atlanta on Friday and noticed that the CNN headquarters has some new additions since the riots weeks ago. Most notable was a protective barrier set up to keep people out of CNN.
CNN witnessed first-hand the destruction that violent riots can cause. The cable news network, rightfully, wants to keep unwanted intruders from entering their facility. CNN decided that building a wall is the best method to keep outsiders out.
The internet was quick to point out the hypocrisy of CNN building a reinforced fence to protect its headquarters, including Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), who lampooned the network by saying, "WaLLs dOn'T wOrK."
Others on Twitter, including Trump senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis, pointed out more hypocrisy by CNN. During the weeks of George Floyd protests, which many have escalated into full-scale fiery riots that have devastated city blocks, CNN has gone out of its way to classify rioters and looters as mostly "peaceful protestors."
People questioned why CNN would need to protect its building from "peaceful protestors."
