American, check! White, check! Male, check! If by serendipity you re born with these three characteristics, American white male, you won the lottery of power so stop your f**king whining about being marginalized!
Prejudice, racism, bigotry, oppression, hate . . . let's stop it all? Laughable! Humans will always have these traits, these characteristics, and the humans with the most power typically have these traits in the strongest way to protect their power position. It's about staying in control . . .
Snowflake media, snowflake conservative, pandering to be "fair" in a truly stupid logic pattern - Andrew Sullivan leads the pack.
We're supposed to believe White Nationalist will grab this supposed "double standard" and use it to enable their argument that whites are under attack? I'm not buying that argument because White Nationalists say a lot of stupid and false things, and this would be just one more false and stupid argument for the poor White Privileged.
The "liberals," and normal clear thinking people, will not call this a double standard because it is not a double standard. You want me to buy your false equivalency and I will not buy it. FALSE EQUIVALENCY!
Beware false equivalency between PREJUDICE and RACISM, ala "Black Lives Matter" and knew-jerk response "WHITE Lives Matter" or "All Lives Matter."
I agree there should be limits on expressed prejudice, even vitriolic bigotry against white people TO A DEGREE. Otherwise we have a double standard. But it's a slippery slope to White Nationalism to call out one yellow skinned media personality as racist because she was angry at white oppression.
I get a little cautious when I see so many white men writing about racism, however. Those are two elements that often lead to bull shit thinking, white and man, especially man, because white men have been the supreme oppressors of minorities throughout history.
"What 'racism' means on the left, and for everyone else"
By Jonah Goldberg Aug 14, 2018
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-goldberg-racism-left-right-20180814-story.html#
"Many liberals responded that conservatives just don’t get it. There is no such thing as anti-white racism because racism is all about power. Whites — or white men — have it, other groups don’t.
Perhaps because this theory defies lived experience, progressives offered a new defense: “We don’t really mean it when we attack the pale patriarchy.”
Vox’s Ezra Klein recalled that he didn’t like the slogan “Kill all men,” which apparently became popular in his progressive circle a while back. “I didn’t like it. It made me feel defensive. It still makes me feel defensive.”
“But,” Klein added, “I also knew that wasn’t what they were saying. They didn’t want me put to death. They didn’t want any men put to death.” They just wanted things to be better for women."
OK. See the point? Let's read this article a bit further down.
Before you go, beware false equivalency between PREJUDICE and RACISM, ala "Black Lives Matter" and knew-jerk response "WHITE Lives Matter" or "All Lives Matter."
Sarah Jeong has blasted hate tweets against white people. So what? Are you conservatives snowflakes now? Given white people's systemic power base it is ridiculous for any white person to play the racism card!
"When Racism Is Fit to Print
By Andrew Sullivan 8 Aug 2018
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/08/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-anti-white-racism.html
To me this article is based on a writer's ignorance of the black experience and lack of insight into what is racism.
"
Is the newest member of the New York Times editorial board, Sarah Jeong, a racist?
From one perspective — that commonly held by people outside the confines of the political left — she obviously is. A series of tweets from 2013 to 2015 reveal a vicious hatred of an entire group of people based only on their skin color."
What an idiot! This writer wants me to buy the crap that an oppressed person of color can fight back against white power with tweets? I do not care if the tweets say kill all whites because the tweet cannot be a threat to any white person.
"Another indicator that these statements might be racist comes from replacing the word “white” with any other racial group. #cancelblackpeople probably wouldn’t fly at the New York Times, would it?"
No, dummy, if you insert "black" it will not fly because police and many others, 99% white, have killed innocent blacks at a high rate! The threat is real against black people you fool!
Convince me you have any insight worth reading my friend.
"Let me explain why I think this is the purest of bullshit. If you want to respond to trolls by trolling them, you respond to them directly. You don’t post slurs about an entire race of people (the overwhelming majority of whom are not trolls) on an open-forum website like Twitter. And these racist tweets were not just a function of one sudden exasperated vent at a harasser; they continued for two years. Another tweet from 2016 has her exclaiming: “fuck white women lol.”"
Prejudice is not racism Andrew. You white idiot! You tricky, wordy, troll thinking dummy.
Your argument is so lacking intelligence and so unaware of reality, it is crazy.
Your article is historically unaware, totally bull shit my friend, because most white people fear and oppress black people in many ways, and they do so by color! These white people have the power collectively to oppress blacks in so many ways they cannot be counted, yet you are worried about one yellow woman hating white oppressors?! You are dumb!
There is a lot of evidence, a LOT! of evidence, that if you are white you are racists to some degree. Many white people control their racism, but still fear or in many ways disrespect groups people with dark skin. Maybe individuals do not fear or disrespect individual people with dark skin, but even these people see groups of dark skinned people as a threat in one way or another.
Read America's history and you will understand. Ignore history and you will continue to play the victim. White Privilege is REAL!
Prejudice and anger, even hate of targeting white people is real, for sure. Not racism!
[See academic discussion at end of this blog] ". . . not considered racism because of the systemic relationship of power." Sarah' Jeong's access to a media outlet is not the power talked about here, it is not systemic power.
Lets start with the Bottom line re anti-white "racism" coming from Sarah Jeong : reverse racism is not a thing. It does not exist! Piss off you "snowflakes!" "White people" is not a slur. The "N" word is a slur. Being a write o an editor does not make a person powerful enough in today's world to control any group of white people.
It's Laura Ingram White Nationalist laughable for white people to claim the existence of anti-white rhetoric scares them. Lara, it's history that indicts white people, not ethnics. White people are the most dangerous, most oppressive people on the planet earth. Get real!
"Laura Ingraham Pushes Back on Criticism She Made Nationalist Remarks"
By Brian Steinberg 10 August 2018
https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/laura-ingraham-fox-news-nationalist-remarks-1202901720/
"Fox News Channel host Laura Ingraham made a return to the hot seat earlier this week, delivering a segment critics charged was a warning against America’s changing cultural makeup that was heavily tinged with racism. Last night, Ingraham tried to clarify her remarks."
Really, Laura. Gaslighting America is not something easily walked back. Are you trying on your Trump "truthful rhetoric" hat? His gaslighting? I call bull shit!
"Ingraham made the remarks after delivering an opening segment Wednesday night that raised eyebrows. During the commentary, she appeared to suggest the changing cultural make-up for the United States had unsettled her. “In some parts of the country, it does seem like the America that we know and love doesn’t exist anymore,” she said. “Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don’t like. From Virginia to California, we see stark examples of how radically, in some ways, the country has changed.” She added: “Now, much of this is related to both illegal, and in some cases legal immigration that, of course, progressives love.”"
So what were you talking about Laura? Safety? Bull shit! There are no facts to support there is a safety issue of illegal immigrants in America.
". . . I made explicitly clear that my commentary had nothing to do with race or ethnicity, but rather a shared goal of keeping America safe, and her citizens safe and prosperous. Furthermore, as I have said repeatedly on this show, merit based immigration does wonders for our country’s economy, our way of life and how we define our country – I even said that in my opening thoughts last night. I want to make it really clear that my concern will continue to remain with the families who have suffered the tragic results of illegal immigration, the children put in dangerous and unfair situations at the border, and all those border agents around the country who work to keep our country safe.”"
". . . a shared goal of keeping America safe" . . . I call bull shit! I call on the facts!
Come on Laura. Illegal Immigrants are not the criminals that threaten America's safety. In fact, I know you KNOW the opposite is true as an educated person who reads the facts. Legal immigrants try to keep a low profile, and illegal immigrants try to keep the LOWEST POSSIBLE profile they can so they are not deported! It's stupid to say, even think illegal immigrants want legal trouble!
Illegal immigrants do not commit crimes at a level to justify the "witch hunt" against them in this country!
Crime by illegal immigrants is a "dog whistle" to arouse fear. This is gaslighting. Laura Ingram is gaslighting. Chicago is scarier than any illegal immigrant community, any sanctuary city, and any sanctuary state.
Laura, your notion of a immigration as a safety issue is bull shit, and you know it.
Racism is abuse of ethnic minorities based on a belief of inferiority ad superiority, and there is not such thing as racism against a majority! Whites are not usually thought of as a minuity, not yet anyway.
Making fun of whites I never a threat to whites because whites own America!
rac·ism

OK, tell me how a minority racist remark against the majority is a problem. The majority in power is racist DESPITE anyone being racist against them. Prove me wrong. Push back by oppressed people begets nothing from the oppressor.
"Why Racism Begets More Racism"
By Jonah Goldberg August 3, 2018 4:02 PM
https://www.nationalreview.com/g-file/sarah-jeong-racism-anti-white-still-bad/
"People are contorting themselves and their arguments in order to justify glib bigotry."
Oh come on! You are giving far too much power to the minority who chooses to scream angrily at their oppressor! Bigotry or self-defense or hatred, an oppressed people cannot be blamed for hitting back! Maybe this little Asian writer is not so oppressed, but she knows what bigotry it feels like. I DOUUBT WHITE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT BIGOTRY FEELS LIKE!
"When I was a youngish teenager, I went to the bank one day. (This was pre-ATM machines, kids.) I stood in line behind a very old, very properly dressed white lady, complete with the sort of fancy hat that I still don’t know the proper name for. When she got to the teller, I didn’t pay attention at first but, very quickly, my ears perked up.
She earned my attention because this prim old woman was passionately raining racial epithets at the bank teller, who was an Asian-American woman. I have no idea what the bank teller’s specific ethnicity was. But the old lady seemed to roam the waterfront between “nips,” “gooks,” “slants,” etc."
You make my point sir! WHITE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT BIGOTRY FEELS LIKE!
"It seems to me that the old lady at the bank had more “reason” to hate Asians than Jeong has to hate white people. But the simple fact remains that the individual American of Asian descent that the old lady at the bank attacked didn’t do anything wrong."
Are you sure Jeong has no reason to hate white people? Have you read America's history?
"I am not denying the history of white racism in America. I’m more than eager to acknowledge it. But what these people are basically saying is that you can say bigoted things about all white people based on things other white people have done. And spare me the argument that some 70-hour-a-week truck driver in Appalachia has it coming because he’s a grand beneficiary of white supremacy.
Again, the old lady at the bank had a historically grounded reason to be bigoted against people of Asian descent. If we take the gobbledygook about “personal truth” even remotely seriously — and I’m not saying we should — she has a better set of grievances against Asians than Sarah Jeong has against whites [Are you certain?], including against the bigots who trolled her, or, for that matter, than Ta-Nehisi Coates has against whites. [I'm not sure I agree with you . . . ] (Coates’s one example of personal grievance in his book boils down to a white woman being rude to his son in an elevator. [And THAT elevator incident is OK in your book of acceptable offenses? Kids are more easily harmed, sir! Think about it. Also consider she only mentioned this one incident. Are you certain there were no others?])
The upshot of almost all the defenses of anti-white rhetoric boil down to an argument about power."
Yep, it's about power and Jeong has none. Do not try to tell me her new job gives her the power to battle White Nationalism. THAT would be stupid!
Bottom line: reverse racism is not a thing. It does not exist! Piss off you "snowflakes!" Who's the snowflake now? Stop seeking "victim-hood."
"Reverse Racism - Myth or Reality?"
Reverse Racism is a Myth
https://www.ucalgary.ca/cared/mythofreverseracism
"Assumptions and stereotypes about white people are examples of racial prejudice, not racism. Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions deriving from perceptions about race and/or skin colour. Thus, racial prejudice can indeed be directed at white people (e.g., white people can’t dance) but is not considered racism because of the systemic relationship of power.
 When backed with power, prejudice results in acts of discrimination and oppression against groups or individuals. In Canada, white people hold this cultural power due to Eurocentric modes of thinking, rooted in colonialism, that continue to reproduce and privilege whiteness. (See our definition of Whiteness)
Ricky Sherover-Marcuse asserts that "we should not confuse the occasional mistreatment experienced by whites at the hands of people of color with the systematic and institutionalized mistreatment experienced by people of color at the hands of whites” (“A Working Definition of Racism," p. 2). While expressions of racial prejudice directed at white people may hurt the white person/people individually or personally, and are never to be condoned, they do not have the power or authority to affect the white person's social/economic/political location and privileges. (See our definition of White Privilege/White-Skin Privilege)
Reverse racism is a myth because it tries to ignore the fundamental question of who holds more power/privilege between the individuals/groups involved; the myth of reverse racism assumes that racism occurs on a so-called level playing field. For example, Ricky-Sherover-Marcuse observes that claims to reverse racism are often made in regards to affirmative action programs. Zeba Blay explains how white people often "believe deserving white students are discriminated against while academically unqualified students are given highly coveted college or company positions ― just because they happen to tick the "ethnic minority" box" (article cited below). Sherover-Marcuse explains how, in actuality,"[a]ffirmative action programs are attempts to repair the results of institutionalized racism by setting guidelines and establishing procedures for finding qualified applicants from all segments of the population” (“A Working Definition of Racism," p. 2). In other words, these programs do not privilege people of colour but help to ensure that they are given equal consideration and opportunities."
