“Hate crime” and “hate speech” are big news these days for the political left, along with their legacy-media fluffers and Silicon Valley overlords. Jacinda Ardern flies to the other side of the world – climate “emergency” notwithstanding – to agree with Emmanuel Macron and Jack Dorsey that “hate speech” is, like, really, really bad.
But there are some curious inconsistencies in the leftist hegemony’s fainting fits about so-called “hate speech”. When some nobody on Twitter spouts off about them durn blacks, why that’s just the hatiest hate-speech around. If it isn’t banned tout de suite, who knows how many innocent young minds it will infect?
But every day the legacy media boils and froths with explicitly racist invective – and Ardern and her authoritarian cronies are perfectly okay with it. Just so long as it’s the kind of racism that the left finds acceptable, such as the transparent anti-Semitism of BDS. But now the left has a new devil.
It occurred to me this week that anti-whiteness is the new anti-Semitism. Not that Jew hatred no longer exists. It does, of course. But the formula’s been tweaked. See, Jews in olde Europe were seen as black magical…During Europe’s darkest periods, Jews were blamed for everything from the plague to crop failures.
But the left have “progressed”, after a fashion. It doesn’t make much sense for a group so hostile to Christianity to gibber dark conspiracies about “Christ killers”. So the left now hate Jews for mostly political reasons. But the left still need their bogey-men.
Whites, on the other hand, are totally hated by leftists just for being white. Whites are now hated for the exact same reason Jews were hated in the past: They exist. The parallels between current anti-whiteness and old-timey Jew hatred are strong. Whites are born cursed (white privilege), and they walk the earth to torment the good and the decent. Everything bad that exists today, and everything bad throughout history, has been because of the white menace. Whites are “the source of the world’s ills” (that’s an exact quote from The Guardian, frighteningly similar to the motto on the masthead of Der Stürmer: “Die Juden sind unser Unglück!”—“The Jews are our misfortune!”).
And whites, if not stopped, will kill us all through “climate change,” which is caused by whiteness (yes, “scientists” actually do make that claim) […]
If you’re nonwhite, you get to pin your every problem on whites. Whites made you sick. Whites are why you got fired. Whites are why you robbed that liquor store. Whites are killing you with their evil thoughts, which are sucking the life out of you like the aliens in Lifeforce. The very presence of whites forces women of color to miscarry (I’m not making that up…and this lunatic claim is found not in a Nation of Islam pamphlet, but on “mainstream” news sites).
This is all bizarre gibberish, of course. But that’s the way with this kind of racism: it’s a deeply superstitious mindset.
This is good old-fashioned irrationality. It’s why people of color can attack whites for killing their fetuses in utero just by the power of their presence, and—at the same time—attack whites for seeking to save nonwhite fetuses from abortion mills. “Those demons are killing our fetuses! Also, those demons are stopping us from killing our fetuses!”
If that seems illogical to you, just remember that superstitions only make sense to those entranced by them […] In the end, racial superstitions are all about blame-shifting.]
Cole cites as example, the pregnant 19 year old Mexican immigrant who was literally butchered by two other Latinas, who stole her then-unborn baby to claim as their own. It was an horrific crime that involved no-one but Hispanics. So, who did the victim’s grieving father blame?
White people.
I’m not trying to heap scorn on a grieving dad. But my point is that he’s a complete nobody who was thrust into the spotlight unexpectedly, and his first reaction to his daughter’s death was to spout antiwhite conspiracy rhetoric. That’s when you know a myth has reached max penetration, when the dirt farmers and ditchdiggers start spewing it. “Intellectuals” are supposed to spout bullshit; it’s practically part of the job description. But when that bullshit leaves the university campus and becomes an immediate talking point for simple working stiffs…well, now you’ve got serious saturation.
Anti-white racism is as mainstream as anti-Jewish attitudes were in the early 20th century, back when Ivy league universities worked mightily to keep Jews off campus. It’s already showing signs of moving beyond rhetoric and into real-world violence, from South Africa to Europe. Don’t hold your breath waiting for a “Call” from leftist politicians or social media giants, though.
