We need a discussion about the actual problems of racism, not the phony ones we hear continually.
It is commonly accepted among liberals that Republicans are racists and have all sorts of other “ism” problems.
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” Hillary Clinton, 2016
In eight years, Republicans have apparently progressed, reducing the hateful in their ranks from fifty to thirty percent.
“There are people who will never be, shall we say, inclined to support Democrats because of – they just have a different orientation toward women, people of color, LGBTQ, you know, they just are not ever going to be there,” Pelosi said. “So, say that’s about like 30% or something like that… of the Republicans, Nancy Pelosi, 2024
In the film “Am I Racist?”, co-founder of Race2Dinner, Saira Rao, in a struggle session with eight other women, said:
“Republicans are Nazis. You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.” Saira Rao, 2024
By the way, white women pay four figure sums to be told similar nuggets of wisdom by Rao and her business partner Regina Jackson.
So, 30%, 50%, or perhaps even all Republicans are fiends. What strikes me about these comments, especially Ms. Rao’s, is how matter-of-factly they are delivered. Of course, Republicans are all Nazis. Ms. Rao spoke candidly only because she believed she was being featured in a film highlighting the dangers of American racism, something she considers herself a leading voice for.
Ms. Rao is a proxy for the common American. She demonstrates how the rhetoric of the Democrat political leaders like Clinton and Pelosi has solidly taken hold (as it was surely intended).
People Like Me are the Problem
I have come to realize these folks seek to change me by continually leveling charges. I must be made be shamed for my conservative positions and for supporting Republican candidates. To be loved, I must either join them or remain silent.
I am at least given the option of changing my views in regard to politics; however, I cannot avoid a much bigger problem: I am white. I am bombarded with rhetoric regarding this unavoidable problem.
Nicole Hannah-Jones, a New York Times writer who gained prominence with her “1619 project” (published in the New York Times and endorsed by Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey and numerous other political leaders) once called white people “barbaric devils”:
“The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.” Not only were the white people in America’s past “barbaric devils,” but the “descendants of these savage people” continue to harm “the Black community” to this day. Non-white peoples, by contrast, were uniformly portrayed as both virtuous and victimized.
All of us are evil? Can this be true?
These notions of a younger Hannah-Jones came to fuller fruition with her widely acclaimed 1619 project in 2020. Her series claims America’s true founding was not in 1776, but in 1619 when slaves were first imported into Jamestown, Virginia. She claims the Revolutionary War was fought to preserve slavery. She even claims slavery is uniquely an American problem. The legacy of slavery continues to be source of our problems, and whites must be blamed, even whites of today.
In addition to praise from well-known public figures, Hannah-Jones series won the Pulitzer Prize in 2020. Hundreds of public schools have adopted a curriculum around her ahistorical hypotheses. She is certainly not leading a fringe movement. She is one of many voices.
‘The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.’ Dr. Ibrahim X Kendi, Director of the Center for Antiracist Research, Boston University
Dr. Kendi is also a widely acclaimed and quoted expert in this field. His solution to racism is more racism. What!?
In “Am I Racist?”, Dr. Sara Tekola doesn’t use quite as many words as Hannah Jones to sum up the white problem: “I believe we need to abolish whiteness”. What!? How am I supposed to process that?
In a minute-and-a-half interview, Dr. Tekola dismantles whiteness altogether. When Walsh asks: “What is the problem with white people?” Tekola compares whites to Nazi doctors. According to her, both were able to rationalize the awful things their own kind have done while absolving themselves of any wrongdoing.
We do indeed have injustices in America today, but are they exclusively a white problem?
Dr. Tekola’s interview ends with: “The only thing about white culture is buying things and stealing things.” Apparently, she believes there is nothing good about white people. Thankfully, I don’t take this personally. However, it makes me wonder: who exactly are the racists these days?
Dr. Tekola delivers these lines without emotion and without any awareness Walsh might be taken aback by demeaning comments about himself and his race. For Dr. Tekola, the obvious problems with whiteness are as real as the sun coming up in the morning. She is a true believer and she passes on her so-called wisdom to others. How can she fail to see the parallels with the anti-black racism from America’s past?
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” Dr. Martin Luther King, 1963
Dr. Tekola previously made a name for herself as an Arizona State student who confronted two white students for invading the school’s multi-cultural center while brandishing the obviously evil slogan: Police Lives Matter. https://youtu.be/-BYB_w_B0mQ
I am appalled that simply being white or sporting a sticker like “police lives matter” makes one racist, but that’s where we are today. Even more shocking is that this legion of anti-racists are widely touted.
Should I Make a Defense?
I once felt it necessary to defend myself against such charges, but I finally realized it doesn’t matter how cogent, logical, or emotionally appealing my arguments are, I am still wrong. I will not be accepted until I deny my whiteness (e.g. give up my “white privilege”) and align myself with this warped world view pushed by one-channel media and the Democrat Party. Why bother to claim I am not racist to these irrational people?
One can’t help but notice the outrageous charges of racism (and every other ism) are non-stop. These folks have declared me a racist a thousand times over. They consider half of what I believe as irredeemably racist. My defense means nothing.
Ironically, hardly any conservative (or non-conservative) I have met during the last forty years fits this paradigm of racism. So, how do I square their incessant claims with my lifetime of observations? There is only one logical conclusion: this has to be BS. Quit worrying about what dimwits say.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written: “He catches the wise in their own ruses,” and again: “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 1 Corinthians 3:19-20
Nevertheless, this becomes more confounding when so many whites join in this self-loathing.
Dr Donald Moss teaches psychoanalysis at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. on having whiteness by Donald Moss – Bing
Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which “white” people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, generating characteristic ways of being in one’s body, in one’s mind, and in one’s world. Parasitic Whiteness renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse. These deformed appetites particularly target nonwhite peoples. Once established, these appetites are nearly impossible to eliminate.
And these people call themselves “woke”.
The Sham is Exposed
VP Kamala Harris demonstrated her insincerity regarding race during a 2020 presidential primary debate. She said to then candidate Biden: “I do not believe you are a racist”, and then explained why Biden may actually be a racist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6-UC8yr0Aw.
“I also believe — and it’s personal and it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing,” Harris said. “There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school everyday. And that little girl was me.”
It was her best (and only) campaign moment as she went toe-to-toe directly with Biden.
Maybe we should give her the benefit of the doubt? Maybe she actually was trying to fix things? That’s supposedly a politician’s job. Months later, after Harris joined the Biden ticket, Stephen Colbert asked her to describe this debate moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGliLOzUZUk.
Colbert: “you landed haymakers against Biden . . . how do you go from being such a passionate opponent and now you guys are pals?”
She laughed it off as a debate tactic. She offered no other explanation, tacitly admitting racism was used for only political expediency. The sham is laid bare. If only more would notice.
The Black Lives Matter movement is another race hustle.

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).
What does any of this have to do with protecting and promoting black lives?
“Am I Racist?” exposes even more race hustlers. Matt Walsh, the film’s narrator, induces a number of activists to speak to him–for sizeable cash sums. He sows doubt of their sincerity: are these folks true believers or just in the game for the pecuniary rewards?
Robin DiAngelo, highly touted author of the best-seller White Fragility, is perhaps the biggest name interviewed by Walsh. She slings more of the same nonsense.
White Fragility forward by Eric Michael Dyson:
DiAngelo describes white fragility to be a defensive response by a white person when their whiteness is highlighted or mentioned, or their racial worldview is challenged, whether this response is conscious or otherwise. She gives examples including a white man accusing someone of “playing the race card” or a white woman crying to avoid conflict.[2][7] DiAngelo proposes that white people are used to viewing themselves as “raceless” or the “default” race, and as such are insulated from feelings of racial discomfort.[4][14] She describes racism as systematic rather than overt and conscious, arguing that racial segregation has shaped the United States.[2][14] She points to research that has shown that children as young as four years old show a strong and consistent pro-white bias and an especially strong prejudice against black males.[15]
Walsh tricks DiAngelo regarding slave reparations at the end of the interview. He exposes the game and makes her and the other race hustlers appear foolish. Of course, DiAngelo objected months later once she realized what it meant.
“I was so unsettled by the way Matt manipulated this last scene that I emailed the contact person – who went by the name of ‘Lee Hampton’ – to explain that this scene was not an example of reparations and could mislead viewers,” DiAngelo explained.
It was appropriate, however. Walsh carried reparations to their logical conclusion. DiAngelo advocates for a sterile form of reparations, one which the government acts as our proxy, but if an ardent supporter of reparations, why can’t you sacrifice of yourself? DiAngelo gave the cash she had on hand to Walsh’s black producer during the pressure of the moment, but she objected to the deception later.
If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Matthew 5:40
Why should those of us who don’t agree with reparations be forced to contribute to a cause we consider outrageous? Slavery ended 160 years ago. Why is this still an issue? How can you possibly develop any kind of rational system to implement this? Still, if you wish to convince me and others of the righteousness of your cause, lead by example. Do not wait for others to act. DiAngelo’s subsequent objection demonstrates a lack of commitment to the issue. The scene was actually “enlightening” not “misleading” as DiAngelo claims.
Furthermore, DiAngelo earns $750,000 annually from speaking fees (she agreed to be interviewed for $15,000). Why shouldn’t a portion of those earnings (ten times the median US household income) be offered to those she seeks to liberate?
Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you. Luke 6:38
The Ordinary Folk
The sting of DiAngelo becomes more poignant when compared to comments from the regular folks. Walsh throughout played the role of an anti-racist activist (he describes himself as “being on the journey” ). While in this role, he attempts to convince ordinary folks of the anti-racism narrative. Walsh travels to a (white) biker bar, replete with a large confederate flag on the wall, and to a black New Orleans neighborhood. Folks are polite, but extremely skeptical of the anti-racist narrative he plies on them. They easily debunk the arguments Walsh feeds them. These folks appear to be of lower economic stature and probably not college educated, yet they display an innate wisdom that DiAngelo and the highly educated race hustlers can’t grasp.
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside.” Where is the wise one? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those who have faith. (1 Corinthians 1:19-21)
Walsh also found ordinary Americans willing to pay for his own anti-racism class (also captured during the film).
During his mock anti-racist class, Walsh introduces his Uncle Frank to students. He chastises Uncle Frank in front of the class for his sin of once telling a joke about Mexicans. Walsh then repeats the joke for the class. The students pile on condemnation of Uncle Frank. I found their responses shocking. There are no venial sins for any of the isms. They are all capital sins and there is no redemption for participating. These students were taught well.
Walsh plays another obvious trick on his class as well, and several fall for it. If only everyone would watch this movie. The carefully crafted race narrative is so subtly, but effectively, mocked and dismantled.
I laughed out loud repeatedly during the film, but in this moment I found the film tragic. So many regular folks have been duped by this hustle.
Ultimately, the movie is a tragedy. The message DiAngelo and her fellow anti-racists send is actually demonic: white folks are all afflicted with racism, a terminal disease we can only hope to keep under control. There is no hope of redemption for us. There is no cure for our inherent racism.
There is only one problem: it is not true.
Anti-racists follow a religion of sorts, and the contrast between their demonic beliefs and Christian beliefs are stark. We are awash in it because their ideology is fully supported by media and the arts: literature, sculpture, movies, and more. Walsh’s movie further clarifies their intent: we white, Republican dinosaurs must all die to allow a better world to take hold. demonic-marxism-rises-who-will-oppose-it?
There will be a better world managed by these Marxist, anti-racist dummies?
End the Lie
I grew up in the 1970s, was bussed to a black school in the fifth grade, and lived most of my life in an integrated South. Neither the America then or America today is systemically racist. During my lifetime, I have encountered a few people who held on to the racist notions of old, but today they are dinosaurs, few and far between. I never encountered a single member of the Ku Klux Klan, nor have I personally seen anyone persecuted for their race in the last fifty years, I am not saying these things are phony, but everyone I know thinks they are abhorrent.
America today is a distant cry from the America my father told me of when he first encountered racism in 1950’s Georgia, yet the lie persists: America is inherently and irredeemably racist. This lie gives rise to a new form of systemic racism that seeks to reshape the institutions of power. We must end this lie.
Nick Canon, is a former host on American Idol. Apart from his fame, he is just another sheep and his hatred is spurred on by anti-racist rhetoric.
“Our melanin is so power[ful] and it connects us in a way that the reason why [White people] fear us is because of the lack that they have of it,” Nick explains. “When you have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, they know that they will be annihilated. So, therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion. Melanin comes with compassion, melanin comes with soul.”
Canon also called whites and Jews savages. https://www.tmz.com/2020/07/14/nick-cannon-accused-black-supremacist-white-people-animals-savages/.
The glaring problem is the mild condemnation of Canon and others like him. Canon is portrayed as a victim and so we must tolerant his ridiculous notions. No. We must expose the real problems of racism today. They are not the same as in Dr. King’s time. There is a newer, more subtle racism that is equally ugly.
