So, here’s the good news. On what sometimes seems the inexorable course towards progressive capture, we can see multiple fronts of resistance, and the early congealing of independent-minded forces, from the rational Right to the traditional liberal-left. Our society may never regain the feistiness of previous eras, and our new elites might continue marching through our institutions. But as they become increasingly discredited, they would be unwise to forget that all long marches one day come to an end.

A bit of actual racism. Black man hits Asian woman at random.

There are innumerable examples of blacks assaulting Asians lately. Of course most black people would not assault Asians, but far more black people assault Asians than white people assault Asians.

But not a peep about this from the woke. Apparently it's fine with them.

Virginia Governor Bans Critical Race Theory, Names Anti-CRT Advocates to Key Education Posts

On his first in office, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin fulfilled his campaign promise by prohibiting public schools in the state from teaching critical race theory, which he described as an “inherently divisive” concept.

Youngkin, who was sworn in as governor Saturday in Richmond, signed nine executive orders and two executive directives to address some of his admiration’s hot-button issues, with the first on the list aiming to end “the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, in public education.”

“Inherently divisive concepts, like Critical Race Theory and its progeny, instruct students to only view life through the lens of race and
presumes that some students are consciously or unconsciously racist, sexist, or oppressive, and that other students are victims. This denies our students the opportunity to gain important facts, core knowledge, formulate their own opinions, and to think for themselves,” the order states.

https://www.ntd.com/virginias-new-ag-launches-probes-into-parole-board-and-loudoun-county-public-schools_728215.html?source=patrick.net

Youngkin said in one of the orders that, in 2021, Loudoun County Public Schools was made aware of a sexual assault that took place at a district high school, with a decision made to transfer the assailant to another Loudoun County school, “where the student was able to commit a second sexual assault.”

Both Loudoun County Public Schools and school administrators “withheld key details and knowingly lied to parents about the assaults,” Youngkin said, adding that no one has been held accountable.

The article itself omits the key detail that the rapist was a boy who "identified" as a girl and then raped girls in the girls' bathroom.

Martin Luther King Jr.

In 1983, Republican President Ronald Reagan signed into law a bill designating the third Monday in January a national holiday honoring the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., who was born on January 15, 1929. ...

Despite the fact that the Democratic Party claims King’s legacy, and Democrats argue they are the sole protectors of his ”dream,“ they have turned this iconic sovereign’s message upside down, as if King had said, "I have a dream that my children will one day be judged by the color of their skin, not the content of their character.” They’ve converted it from a dream into a nightmare, and their failed statist “Great Society” programs have enslaved generations of poor, mostly black Americans on urban poverty plantations.

But poor blacks have been a staple Democrat Party constituency, having been inculcated with the belief that they are perpetual “victims of injustice” who must depend on their Democrat masters to take care of them. ...

In 2009, Obama was heralded as the savior of black America, promising to take them from suppression to black supremacy, precisely what was drilled into Obama’s psyche by his Marxist mentor Frank Marshall Davis and his religious mentor Jeremiah Wright ....

In 1901, King’s most notable predecessor in the fight for civil rights, Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Institute, wrote in his seminal work, Up From Slavery: “[I] resolved that I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. … I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice. … In the sight of God there is no color line, and we want to cultivate a spirit that will make us forget that there is such a line anyway.”

He added, “Great men cultivate love. … Only little men cherish a spirit of hatred.”

Washington was a critic of those who made a practice of fomenting racial division. In his 1911 book, My Larger Education, Washington wrote racial agitators words that are even more applicable to their present-day brethren: “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. … Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.”

Washington continued: “Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”

And that sums up today’s Democrat Party haters, who want the patient to remain ill in perpetuity, and thus have killed King’s dream.

In 1957, King wrote of loving your enemies, “Time is cluttered with wreckage of communities which surrendered to hatred and violence. For the salvation of our nation or mankind, we must follow another way.”

In 1960, King noted: “Black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy, and God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race and in the creation of a society where all men can live together as brothers.”

In his 1963 book, Strength to Love, King centered his message on this theme: “Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.” ...

In 1964, King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. In his acceptance remarks, King acknowledged “the profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time — the need for man to overcome oppression and violence WITHOUT resorting to violence and oppression.”

On July 4, 1965, preaching at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, MLK declared, “Love is the only absolute. … I’ve seen too much hate to want to hate myself; hate is too great a burden to bear. … Hate does something to the soul that causes one to lose his objectivity. The man who hates can’t think straight; the man who hates can’t reason right; the man who hates can’t see right; the man who hates can’t walk right. And I know now that Jesus is right, that love is the way.”

One of the most outspoken detractors of the Left’s orthodoxy is King’s niece, Alveda. She was 17 at the time of her uncle’s assassination, and she recently recalled a conversation with her father, King’s younger brother Alfred, on the day MLK died.

Alveda told him, “I hate white people. They killed Uncle M.L.”

Her father, also a pastor and civil rights leader, replied, “No, white people didn’t kill my brother; white people didn’t kill your uncle. White people march with us, pray with us, go to jail with us, live with us, die with us. No, no, the devil did this. You have to forgive; you have to forgive.”

Such forgiveness is anathema to most of today’s Democrat leaders — and the black community leaders in their stable.

Alveda added, “Acts 17:26 says, ‘Of one blood God made all people, to live together on the face of the earth.’ So we can be brothers and sisters because we are one blood; we are the human race. And I believe if my uncle were here today, he’d like for us to consider ourselves as human beings, not different races. One race, colorblind.”

We should all remember that Liberty is colorblind.

Despite questions about King’s personal character and his proper place in history, I encourage you to read his letter from a Birmingham jail, which provides a window into the soul of King’s vision for all Americans.

For four years after the Obama regime, there was greater hope for the poor black Americans MLK wanted to lift up. It came from somebody who Democrat Party leaders, their Leftmedia propagandists and their supporting cast of race-bait profiteers derided daily: Donald Trump. Black Americans are among the major beneficiaries of the Trump/GOP economic policies. Before the coronavirus pandemic, household income among blacks increased, while unemployment hit a record low. The Trump administration’s economic policies proved to be the rising tide that, in the words of John F. Kennedy, “lifted all boats.”

We believe that MLK would have recognized and acknowledged this good — but today’s Democrat Party is all-consumed with its message of fear and hate.

In 2021, the ascension of Obama’s former VP, Joe Biden, heralded the return if the Democrat Party’s race-baiting, economic-stifling policies.

The Democrat Party was, is, and will continue to be the agents of Black oppression. Demonstrably, the socialist Democrats are now, simultaneously, the historical author and political beneficiary of the systemic racism which they have institutionalized over the last century. It is Democrats who have kept generations of poor non-White Americans ensnared and enslaved on urban poverty plantations — which they both seeded and institutionalized over the last century. The Democrat Party platform has, by design, kept poor people in bondage to the welfare state and consequently, is the blueprint for the most enduring racial exploitation architecture in America.

Midwest Hospital System Stops Using Race-Based, Anti-White Covid Treatment Plan After Legal Threat ...

Attorneys at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) issued a letter Friday to SSM Health warning that it is illegal to distribute monoclonal antibody products (mAbs) based on race. The letter cited a Dec. 31 email to physicians by SSM Health that referenced a risk scoring calculator, in which non-White patients received a 7-point head start out of 20 total and were therefore more likely to receive life-saving medical treatment over White patients with medically recognized co-morbidities or symptoms, the attorneys argued.

THE FIST AND THE SWASTIKA
by Romo1979
Posted onJanuary 31, 2022

In a country of one-third of a billion people, anything can, and will, happen statistically. So indeed, we are a land of endless opportunities. All one needs to do is wish upon a star, wait, and eventually, the odds will be in one’s favor.

And so last weekend it finally happened! An antisemitic rally! In a red state! Woohoo! When blacks play the knockout game with religious Jews, it’s a bit uncomfortable. When Muslims beat up Jews, scream at Jewish diners, and even shoot Jews, we don’t really know how to react. But finally! It’s here! Big, bad, and SUPER WHITE people have finally rallied against God’s chosen people! Start your engines, everybody!

At last, an opportunity for the Jewish world to unite! The ADL, StopAntiSemitism.org, Ultra-Orthodox media, non-Zionist Jews, can all clamor together like in the old Shtetl again. Oh, the joys of brotherhood and cohesion.

But you know, not so fast. First, Jews should be grateful that a minor rally of what seems like less than ten individuals results in so much condemnation. The thousands of victims of black violence, and especially the white ones plucked by black violence before their time, receive no such media coverage and no politician’s attention. Rest in peace, Cannon Hinnant. As far as I know, only one news outlet, VDare.com, keeps track of black-on-white violence at all.

So yes, Jews should be singing hymns of thanksgiving that minor incursions against them reverberate out of every sensible proportion.

Second, aren’t many of the Jews now shouting “Antisemites!” in unison actually guilty of the same crime of ethnic hate? How many Jewish organizations have supported BLM’s summer of firey but peaceful love (answer: about 70%)? How many Jews have participated in BLM rallies, excoriating white America as “racist, sexist, privileged, blah, blah, blah?” Answer: More than a few randos in Florida.

Alas, many Jews themselves are guilty of participating in racist and anti-ethnic violence. Against whites. What are resentful screeches about undeserved “privilege” and “systemic racism” if not calls to undo Anglo-Western America? What is the BLM fist if not a cry to undo and dismantle traditional America? Is it not as bad as a swastika?

I definitely think so. And as the sages of old have taught us: Prior to accusing others of having a splinter between their eyes, look in the mirror and remove the beam that’s between your own eyes.

Sen. Ted Cruz: "Racial discrimination is wrong. Period, full stop. One of the most depressing things about Democrats today, they're very comfortable discriminating based on race. ... When Joe Biden throws out a quota ... [he is] rejecting regardless of merits everybody else."

There was also the obnoxiously pandering pronouncement from the White House that President Biden would commit to nominating a black woman to fill the post. No one disputes that there exists a significant pool of qualified, exemplary jurists who are not black or female. In a country that regards sex and race discrimination in the workplace as immoral and illegal, it's a bit unsettling to see the highest profile CEO in the country admit he will be happily engaging in it to make his next hire.

Selecting people based on their race and sex is racist and sexist.

Wokism has accelerated so much to the point, that Laquiisha and Shenanay honestly believe that they have a lifetime membership in the cut in line club.
It seems these days I can't shop anywhere, that some baby momma doesn't show up and try to Squatter Shop(where they bring items to a cash register either on the counter before the conveyor belt, or just leave their basket by the line. Then when they get their last item, they try to intimidate who ever was next in line, that their basket was before them, so that makes them next) or Assholes that will just outright walk up past everyone in line, and make eye contact with the first person behind the counter, and start talking to who ever was on the other side of the counter, like they were next in line.

I just got back from Food Town, and some idiot tried to give me a CRT test, which I failed measurably. So I'm waiting at the fish counter, I'm number 53, the guy is serving number 46, he's painfully slow, and the rest of the help are in the back cutting up fish. One of the guys in the back finishes up and walks back to the counter, to get the next number in the queue. When Shenanay dorag and all, comes strolling up with her empty cart, and makes eye contact with the guy and says. "Hey How is it going? Get me a big Grouper like I always get." the guy said one second and walked back, then came back out to her. And I held up my ticket and said... "Are we still doing the numbers, or is it who you know now?"
The lady looks at me and says. "Uh Uh! You don't know me and my situation, I don't play THAT!" trying to intimidate me. I said.. "Look do you have number 47 or not?"
She then says," I come here all the time, they know what I always get." I said, "That's not how it works!"(pointing at everyone else in line holding a number ticket.) "See all of these people here waiting in line, they all grabbed a number. And hell yeah they all come here all the time too, that doesn't make them or anyone else special!" They guy is still digging her out a Grouper. I walked away saying... "Let me go talk to a manager, this is some fucking bullshit here!"
By that time, the guy trying to serve, her then puts the Grouper back and tells her to get a number. She then storms away from the counter. The poor guy was probably just following Corporate CRT training, they aren't allowed to school people in humility. The other people that were there and saw what was happening but was too chicken shit to say anything. Were looking at me like "So that's how it's done?"

I'm not racist, if John Earl from the Red Neck trailer park showed and tried to pull the same thing I would told his ass the same thing too.
But while John Earl might use his Rambo knife to take chicken from the serving plate, he's got enough couth, to not assume he's next in every line that he sees.
I'll gladly show my ass, and show my co-shoppers how to handle assholes that have no consideration for other's or their time for standing in line waiting their turn.

Shenanay, LOL.

We should start calling Woke that.

And those same chicken shit people may be glad you stood up but would cowardly take the other persons side if the discourse spread to involve them.

Most of them were Asian, and they don't really share CNN's view on Race and Demographics in America. They know who will take a brick upside their goddamn head unprovoked out of the blue without warning.
After this older Chinese man walked up to me as if he would like to engage with me, but couldn't come up with a suitable lead in. He was wearing a Make America Great Again mask and a T-Shirt with Trump giving a thumbs up. So I gave him a thumbs up, to which the Chinese fellow replies. "He'll be back in 2024!"
I said, "That's if America can hold out that long with this Commie do boy, doing Emperor Xi's bidding." He then skedaddled the hell out of there, and got as far away from me as he could. As there was a strong chance, that some of the Asian faces there were Xi Commie enforcers, keeping an eye on the Chinks in the West, one wrong word of wrong speak and they'll torture their family back home.
I see that all the time, they will talk all about politics and let it go anywhere you want. But if there's another Chinese person they don't know, or do know that they suspect could be a Commie enforcer, they will shut political talk about commies or Xi, and end it abruptly.

It's sad, but I catch it every time. It's the subtle sophisticated politics that I'm in tune with.

I did the same thing to a white guy at the gun store about 18 months ago. There was a line outside the store and a guy came up and started chatting up the doorman. I asked him VERY loudly if he was trying to cut the line. He said all he wanted was a holster. I said I don't care what you need, there's a line. I had my 20 year old daughter in line with me. Damn if she didn't try to embarrass me about "manners". Fuck that, I told her to shut up. Yes, I said "shut up" loudly. When we got back to the car I schooled her unmercifully about standing up for family or she would be out on her ass when TSHTF.

WineHorror1 says

. I had my 20 year old daughter in line with me. Damn if she didn't try to embarrass me about "manners".

Yeah my two daughters do that to me all the time as well. I told them early on, don't ever try to virtue signal on me.
It started with them years ago, when they were in their late preteens. There was a sketchy drunken weirdo in shit stained pants, sleeping on the sidewalk across the street from the house we used to rent about 15 years ago. I went over there and told him to step, this wasn't the bum crash spot. He was from a bum shelter down the street off US1. But they didn't allow them drink at the shelter. So they would go out into the surrounding suburbs and do drugs and get drunk.
They were telling me, "Gawd you don't have to be so mean!" It was around the time Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped, and I was in no mood teach 10 year olds about the dangers in the world, and the things I would do to protect them from such dangers.

But I did manage to teach my kids, that Homeless people aren't homeless, they just quit going home.
They are where they want to be, the question is, are you going to work to support their on the streets lifestyle, and give him handouts?

That lesson was easier to teach in times of plenty and jobs, it does worry me the people who will be joining the homeless ranks, will be those who just lost hope because of no opportunities and never being able to afford anything even with meager menial jobs. I hope they will become freedom fighters rather than Hobos.

To paraphrase, the liberal America that dominates our elite institutions communicates a blatantly paradoxical message to immigrants: please come to America, a land budding with economic, educational, and political opportunity, where you will experience unprecedented prosperity…but you will also be oppressed and victimized by a systemically racist system. It’s the latter part of that narrative that is patently absurd and untrue. But it’s one that many Americans now believe as gospel because it is preached so constantly.

This is how someone can claim with a straight face that an internationally recognizable celebrity athlete and model is somehow a victim of the country that provided her with the opportunities to succeed. Perhaps the scariest thing for the future of the American republic is that so many Americans — who as citizens are supposed to believe in their nation and its founding principles — really believe this drivel.

https://www.amren.com/commentary/2017/12/the-privilege-no-one-wants-white-privilege-racial-identity/

The power of “white privilege,” we are told, is all but unlimited. It underlies all our institutions. It is responsible for all non-white shortcomings. Its evil infects every white person and brings them wealth and power. To be white is to be one of the lords of creation, filled with what certified MacArthur Genius Ta-Nehisi Coates calls the “eldritch energies” dwelling within the “glowing amulet” of whiteness.

Yet even those non-white Americans who could claim the sacred status of whiteness — for example, Arabs classified as “white” by the Census Bureau — resist its power, not out of principle, but because they know the truth: In modern America, “whiteness” is a mark of Cain, not a key to status. And political power comes from shedding the imagined privileges of whiteness, and securing the actual privileges of non-whiteness.

For that reason, what are now called “Americans of Middle Eastern and North Africa descent (MENA)” are clamoring for a new category on the 2020 census so they will no longer be called white. ...

The emergence of a homosexual “identity” may even be partially explained as a tactic for whites to avoid the negative consequences of being labeled “white.” Today, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgenders and other more exotic labels are used not just to describe those who practice certain sexual behaviors, but to designate people entitled to benefits, set-asides, privileges, and official protections. There has already been affirmative action for homosexuals at at least one school. Does such a policy require official verification? If so, how?

It’s tempting to say such an irrational system will eventually crumble under its sheer absurdity, or as the number of the “oppressed” swells far beyond the number of “oppressor” whites. Yet anti-white racial preferences continue in South Africa even to this day, and there are continuous calls for more to be done to remedy inequality. When South Africa runs out of whites it may start discriminating against “privileged” South Africans of Indian origin.

Indigenous American woman here, and the only people who discriminate against me are liberals. White and black liberals primarily. In my experience, most African Americans who vote Democrat are racist, more racist than any white conservative I’ve encountered.
