Are Liberals Racists?
Most here have already come to this conclusion but it's nice to know...we are not alone.
"America’s colleges, media, and cultural institutions are being swept by the ideology of “anti-racism.” It openly advocates racial discrimination against white people, and promotes bigoted, lower expectations for black people."
" “Rationality” and “hard work” are vestiges of racism, declared the “anti-racism” web site of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. It claimed that virtues like “hard work,” “self-reliance,” being “polite,” and being on time are all a product of the “white dominant culture.” So, too, are normal grammar, the scientific method, and its emphasis on “objective, rational linear thinking,” according to a chart the Smithsonian posted."

Each school year in the first few days of class some random student will accuse me of being Racist. I always reply by telling the student that I am Hispanic. They tell me that I am not a Mexican and I agree and tell them that I am Cuban. The truth is that one of my Great Greats immigrated from France to Cuba and then to Florida. All of this was shortly before Florida became part of the US. This means that even though I am White I am Technically of Hispanic origin. Funny thing is that after I tell these kids this I never get accused of being Racist that school year again. No matter what I say or do.
Its really the pot calling the kettle black.
That is why Biden made his statement of “You ain’t Black if ....”
It Seems LBJ was a bit optimistic when he likely said “We will have the nggers vote for 200 years”
This quote appears on page 155 of Goodwin’s LBJ biography. The utterance was made to Richard Russell, a fellow Democratic Senator from Georgia.
The source of the “200 years” quote is Ronald Kessler’s 1995 book Inside the White House. Kessler got the quote from Robert MacMillan, an Air Force One steward who said LBJ uttered this comment to two governors during a conversation on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Snopes, a fact-checking website, states “there’s little evidence to back up” the quote.
It’s a strange claim since Snopes admits the quote “wouldn't have been entirely out of character for LBJ” and other sources corroborated many of the other “juicy tidbits” MacMillan gave Kessler (such as LBJ’s penchant for walking around nude in the presence of others).
So why doubt the quote’s authenticity?
Snopes brings into question MacMillan’s veracity, noting that “Luci Baines Johnson flatly denied MacMillan's claim that when she was a teenager she once screamed at him to go ‘Find my ngger’ (i.e., her servant) and threatened to slap him if he didn't.”
It must not have occurred to Snopes that many people would “flatly deny” such a claim. The fact-checking outfit, which has a notable left-leaning tilt, seems primarily concerned with defending the idea that LBJ’s action on civil rights was anything but “genuine idealism.” They ignore or overlook the following facts to reach this conclusion:
Kessler’s source is historically sound (a firsthand account from an eyewitness).
LBJ’s paternal and racist rhetoric toward African Americans (his fondness for the use of the word “ngger” is well documented) casts some doubt on the idea that his motivations on civil rights were altruistic.
Luci Baines Johnson, who likely heard her father use racial epithets, would have motivation to deny any racist utterances she might have made.
Goodwin’s quote confirms that LBJ possessed a well-honed political calculus on the issue of civil rights.
If LBJ said what MacMillan claimed, MacMillan's “editorializing” comments, which Snopes frowned upon, make sense. (MacMillan used the words “phony” and “ploy” to characterize LBJ’s motivations on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.)
Numerous historians have LBJ on the record referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as “the ngger bill,” a phrase that runs counter to altruism on civil rights.
One can imagine LBJ saying what MacMillan claims he said, especially if LBJ was trying to whip up support for his bill among reluctant Democrats.
We likely never will know for certain if LBJ said what MacMillan claims, but Snopes’ case falls short of casting serious doubt on the testimony of an eyewitness account.
I couldn't find any quotes of her thoughts about people that chant racism all the time...I wanted to know what she would have thought now days beyond the effects of cultural marxism. What does it say of the person that points you out as racist when you are not.
Which is pretty much par for the course since their entire existence is based on a belief in the collective, rather than in the individual.
And yes, that includes those responsible for the White Culture crap from the Smithsonian.
The underlying problem is a nonsense view of the world called intersectionality, which advances a whole list of nonsense propositions including:
(1) White men control, and are the oppressors of, the world. As such they are never entitled to complain of bias against them.
(2) Groups such as the protected classes of civil rights law are victims of that oppression.
(3) Which, and how many, victim groups you belong to determines your merit and the degree of favorable special treatment you’re entitled to throughout life.
(4) All the above judgments of people apply to every individual, regardless of whether he or she has actually victimized others and/or been mistreated himself. The notion that rights and responsibilities are individually earned is racist.
(5) Wanting a color-blind or meritocratic society is racist. So is denying any of these statements.
As far as I’m concerned, believing any of the above ought to get you sent to the nearest funny farm, full stop.
I expect the intersectionalist community eventually to destroy itself, since their view has built-in contradictions, particularly when the demands of "transsexuals" encroach on those of other groups. But a lot of this is just distraction intended to let them ruin our civilization while we're looking away in disgust.
