     One of the articles of faith for the hyper-racial left is that all White<\/a> people are racist<\/a> because “whiteness” is nothing but false<\/em> and oppressive<\/em>.\u00a0 To this end, White people can only fight racism, and so shrive<\/a> themselves of the “sin” of Whiteness, by destroying everything<\/a> associated with this “Whiteness.”<\/p>\n

     Since racism is defined<\/a> as being the same things as “Whiteness,” the fight against “racism” becomes in large part equal measures of hating Whites and convincing Whites that they are evil incarnate.\u00a0 The large volume of such idiocy would be impossible for a lone person to fully compile and parse.\u00a0 However, on occasion, a glaring pile of flaming you-know-what pops up that just begs to be belittled. A confused young man(?) who wrote how “racism is to white people as wind is to the sky” wrote one such post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pictured: The Hyper-Racial Left's View of White Supremacy<\/p><\/div>\n

     This pile of laughable rubbish is massive, yet the author, a so called queer-something-or -other is himself belittling of “people of colour and Indigenous people” by necessary assuming whatever they say is “widsom.”\u00a0 Said author also feels that “for every bit of support we offer to white people to change racist behaviours, let\u2019s offer double the support to folks of colour in dealing with living in a racist world.”\u00a0 Such condescending air of superiority is certainly indicative of someone deserving of all the scorn he piles upon all Whites, including themself.\u00a0 To prove how all of society is a plot by evil Whites to oppress people, the author give several examples.\u00a0 Below they shall be cited and given the belittlement they deserve:<\/p>\n

\n

“That unconscious bodily reaction that arises in me at times when I feel threatened when I pass Black young men at night.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     A statement that is drenched in assumption and prejudice.\u00a0 It perpetuates and relies on the assumption that the “Black young men” are necessarily dressed as thugs, rather dressed nicely. \u00a0 So, if you are wary of some thuggishly dressed young male, and he just happens to be black, these hyper-racial dolts want you to think that your wariness is all due to the young man being Black, as opposed to being dressed as a thug.\u00a0 Would it be any different if the young Man was White and dresses as a thug, with an attitude to go along with it?\u00a0 No, it wouldn’t.<\/p>\n

\n

“The times when I have tokenised people of colour by thinking \u201cshit, my project is really white, I should ask some people of colour to be a part of it\u201d, rather than building the vision and collaborating with people of colour from the beginning and\/or building genuine mutually supportive relationships.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     What?!\u00a0 Outside of some cultural or historical project, or perhaps some targeted ad campaign, is there really isn’t any<\/em> logical scenario where anyone<\/em> would say a project is “really White”?\u00a0 Speaking solely for myself, no project or work have I done that is “White” or where race has anything<\/em> to do with it.\u00a0 This is likely true for most people.\u00a0 While there may be cultural differences, that is not the same as racial differences.<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have given more support, time and resources to white projects and individuals. It doesn\u2019t matter if this was by default (like who happened to ask me) \u2013 it is my responsibility to seek out and support people of colour and Indigenous people (if and when my support is welcome). In a world where these communities are systemically barred from access to resources, it is racist to perpetuate this on a personal level in my own life.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Helping those who asked for help is somehow a paragon of racism?\u00a0 Treating people differently because of their race does not fight racism, it is the very root of racism.<\/p>\n

\n

“The times when I have assumed people of colour and Indigenous people have drinking or substance problems when I see them drinking or using in public. I am in fact an alcoholic, yet nobody thinks that of me if I\u2019m seen drinking in public.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     If I see some bum with a needle in their arm or a bottle of watered-down vodka in their hand, I’m going to assume that they have a problem, because they are providing me with the explicit proof that they have a problem.\u00a0 Methinks that the author of that post has his own prejudices and substance abuse problems, and it is racist of him to assume that everyone else of the same race is the same.<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have failed to understand the ways a police presence could impact on the participation of criminalised communities, especially Black and Indigenous communities. Any time I have invited police presence or failed to take steps to deter it, this is my ignorant racism showing up.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Clearly it is assumed that the police are part of that raaacist power structure and are the cause of all violence and crime.\u00a0 If only the police weren’t there, then the non-White communities would live in a White-free utopia which existed everywhere before the evil of Whiteness infected the world!\u00a0 “All the cops are criminals; all the sinners, saints!”<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have failed to take the time to consider how I could make sure people of colour and Indigenous people are central in the decision making of groups I\u2019m a part of.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Shouldn’t everyone regardless of race who deserves to be part of the decision making group be part of it?\u00a0 If you don’t think of people in racial terms, then they can not be excluded based on racial terms.\u00a0 That the author has caught himself doing jus that demonstrates the folly of racializing everything, and treating people as just racial classifications.<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have over-identified with the struggles of transwomen of colour as if they were my own experiences \u2013 see my article \u201cBoy Tits in the Locker Room\u201d for more on this”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     I’ve<\/em><\/strong> never had that problem.\u00a0 And never will.<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have spent more time reading white people\u2019s opinions on racism than people of colour\u2019s and Indigenous people\u2019s opinions and lived experiences. Yes, I believe there is a strong role for white people in challenging racism, but it shouldn\u2019t over-ride the leadership and wisdom of those who are most impacted by racism.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Then perhaps the author should follow his own advise and STFU?<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have minimised the feedback of people of colour e.g. this time when a friend of colour lovingly and publicly questioned how I presented the race of my green and purple puppets in a showing, I minimised and brushed off her feedback because I was 1. embarrassed and ashamed and 2. I thought I had already addressed what she was saying. I realised later that my shame had prevented me from listenting to her, and in fact I hadn\u2019t addressed her feedback at all. This was racist.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Puppets\u2026 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!<\/p>\n

\n

“Those times when, before even consciously knowing what I was doing, I assumed that communities of colour would be more transphobic and homophobic towards me than white communities.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Western Civilization, i<\/em>.e<\/em>. that raaacist “White” culture, has demonstrated that it is a paragon of tolerance, particularly to the those who are not straight or “cis-gendered.”\u00a0 That “oppressive” civilization has gone so far as to allow gay couples to grab the mantle of marriage and even to punish people for daring to not agree with even the most radical LGBTQ agenda items!\u00a0 Some of the main European “conservatives” who are against Islamization of Europe are GAY.\u00a0 They fear that Muslims will not assimilate and not treat Gay individuals with the same tolerance and acceptance that the “oppresive” white culture does.\u00a0 But again, that is a cultural<\/em> difference, not a racial one; but if one excuses anti-LGBTQ sentiment because it comes from “non-Whites” then they should not blame Whites when the gay-bashing begins.<\/p>\n

\n

“When I have gotten acquaintances who are people of colour confused with each other. It doesn\u2019t matter that I also frequently can\u2019t recognise white people who I don\u2019t know very well \u2013 this is where context matters. In the context of a racist world that makes invisible and dehumanises people of colour, my actions are racist.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     What the author did wasn’t racist, since almost everyone from time to time will mix other people up.\u00a0 What is pernicious is the idea that it doesn’t matter what he<\/em> intended, or even inadvertently did, but someone else’s subjective opinion, that made him a racist.<\/p>\n

     This is where it becomes frightening.\u00a0 The problem isn’t with someone who made an innocent mistake, but with the person who was offended because of their own<\/em> prejudices and opinions.\u00a0 It like the Russian joke “if you see a Bulgarian on the street, beat him. He’ll know why,” but applied to all White people.<\/p>\n

     That article was followed up by another<\/a>, equally silly one.\u00a0 Much of it was run on drivel along the lines of how everything is so White and oppressive and such.\u00a0 A few point stand out in need of belittlement though.<\/p>\n

     One of the biggest claims, and a lynch pin for “proving” that society is “White” and therefor racist is the idea of “institutional” racism, where everything is set up to oppress anyone who is not White, with examples such as “schools, legal systems, workplaces, economic systems, religions, government etc.”\u00a0 Aside from the obvious fact that many of these “paragons of Whiteness” are controlled by the hard-left who peddle just the type of drivel that the author himself spouts, the “proof” offered up is but statistical shenanigans and assumptions.\u00a0 Just take for example college admissions.\u00a0 If Blacks are statistically underrepresented, that is blamed on racism; if those of Asian ethnicities are overrepresented, that is also<\/em> blamed on racism; if a group were somehow proportionally represented, I’m sure that that<\/em> would be blamed on racism too!<\/p>\n

     Ultimately, the argument of these hyper-racial dolts goes something like this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“Racism is exclusively a function of power, as defined by me. As a member of Designated Victim Group X, as designated by me, I do not belong to the dominant order; I do not have institutional power or the leverage of \u2018normality\u2019, therefore I cannot be racist, ever. All those who belong to the dominant group, as defined by me, participate in racism, also defined by me. They are racist because they are white. They just are, so shut up. Those who dispute this formulation are, by definition, racist and oppressive.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Another example is of “safe-spaces” which is based on the prejudicial idea that since all of society is Whiteness incarnate, and more broadly Kyriarchical, that the only way everyone else can fee secure against the evil that is Whiteness is to have a “safe space.”\u00a0 It is not considered hypocritical or wrong because it is assumed that Whites own<\/em> everything else so it become no big deal if they are excluded.\u00a0 This is fundamentally wrong.\u00a0 What is called “White” is actually the broader society we live in and is defined by a civic heritage<\/a> that transcends race and ethnicity.\u00a0 There are practically no “White” spaces <\/em>that necessarily exclude non-Whites in this day and age.<\/p>\n

     If we are to fight racial inequality, then we must cease treating people unequally based on their race.<\/p>\n
