Whiteness Is a Pandemic
Damon Young
I don’t have much to add here today that hasn’t already been said.
Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.
A line can and should be drawn from the actions of the white supremacist who walked into three Atlanta-area massage parlors yesterday, and allegedly killed eight people—six of whom were of Asian descent—to the relentless anti-Asian rhetoric pollinating national discourse over the past year. The former president, and the party of the former president, can and should be blamed for this and the sudden increase of racist violence against Asian Americans. The line doesn’t stop there, though. It extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere white supremacy exists here, in America, which is everywhere.
There’s a line connecting this act of terror to the 11 people killed at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, and the nine people killed at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015, of course. But also to gentrification, to red-lining, to racial profiling, to gerrymandering, to voter oppression, to mass incarceration, to the war on drugs, to the subprime mortgage crisis, to the vast disparities in both COVID deaths and who receives COVID vaccinations, to how the men and women who stormed the capitol just went home and had dinner with their families afterward. While we were still processing and recovering from what we witnessed, they were already back on their couches, watching Criminal Minds.
White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it. I guess a vaccine could work, too. But we’ve had 400 years to develop one, so I won’t hold my breath.

3. When justice fails to act the people must.
Aren't the leftists mad that some folks thought and acted upon this very train of thought on Jan 6th?

13. Not in black-dominant nations. In ours, our social structure is white-dominant
because whites are nearly 3/4 of the populace including white Hispanics. BUT, our social structures and power structures are multiracial even if power is not equally distributed between populations of vastly differing numbers.
I repeat, the outrage would leap off the screen if anyone likened AA or any other minority to a disease, something vicious racists always do. The step before in toxicity is to characterize a people as disease carriers, then move to calling them a disease.
Since the next step is to call for eradication, everyone should be able to understand why social scientists see likening races to diseases as signaling extremely bad attitude.
Nothing any enlightened person should tolerate.
Dummie points out double standard....

21. I totally agree.
Racism is a two-way street. I found it very offensive.

33. Bigotry is a two-way street. Racism, which is systemic, has an oppressor and an oppressed, and so is
not a two-way street.

38. It certainly is.
If you think POC can't be racist, you are naive.
"Whiteness is a public health crisis..." What a racist thing to say. I am white, and I am offended by the quoted article. And, Hortensis nailed it dead on.
If we don't stick together, nothing can be accomplished. Replacing one type with another is fruitless. And your cute ass nitpicking is annoying.

57. That's probably better.
Provided you allow the option of white supremacy being an active choice, as opposed to being a passive thing. There's a danger in "essentializing" things like white supremacy and racism. Saying things like all white people are racist trivializes white supremacy and racism. When I was a kid, racism was considered bad: you could make racist choices, but doing so was considered a character flaw.
But some have turned it into this passive thing. Being racist is no different from being gay or trans. It's just an immutable characteristic, for which there is no conversion therapy. This strikes me as pretty dangerous.

58. We in the U.S. live in a white supremacy, so it's actually the default, and being anti-white-
supremacy -- anti-racist -- is the choice. And for many, many white people, it's a difficult choice to dismantle the very thing they benefit from. You see it here on this very thread.

Man oh Man---- the high melanin folks are taking the opportunity to berate and belittle the low melanin folks--- blaming the low melanin folks for all their issues and problems. How convienent

Find it quite amusing that in the mid-2000's during the President Bush 43 era that DUmmy opinions were so fringe that it was almost a parody of reality. Sadly, it seems that all of the left has adopted the DUmp mentality.
Look 'El Dorkio, no one has control of the color of our skin. I'll never feel guilty for being white. EVER. It was out of my control.
And isn't this racism against those of us with low melanin content? Inquiring minds want to ask.

Almost 60 years ago a wise man desired that his children would be judged by their character rather than their skin color. Now, sight unseen, Mr. Corpulent judges me and every member of my family (except my DIL, who he probably would hate for a different, ethnic, reason) to be a racist and part of a disease ... because of the color of my skin.

I remember after the 9/11 attacks how were were preached to non stop by the left that we should not judge all muslims on the acts of a few. The premise is correct but I didn't need the self righteous left cramming it down my throat as they did at that time.
Just to show their hypocrisy I did a quick MS Word find "white" and replace with "islam" in the opening post in the DUmmie's thread. I'd love to see a lurker take this back to the hive and watch them twist themselves in pretzels explaining why the version blaming whites for all the evils of the world is different from the one I modified...
Islamness Is a Pandemic
Damon Young
I don’t have much to add here today that hasn’t already been said.
Islamness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—islam people and people who are not islam, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of islam supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.
A line can and should be drawn from the actions of the islam supremacist who walked into three Atlanta-area massage parlors yesterday, and allegedly killed eight people—six of whom were of Asian descent—to the relentless anti-Asian rhetoric pollinating national discourse over the past year. The former president, and the party of the former president, can and should be blamed for this and the sudden increase of racist violence against Asian Americans. The line doesn’t stop there, though. It extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere islam supremacy exists here, in America, which is everywhere.

Let’s see:
1) Whiteness is a public health crisis.
2) To be white is to be a white supremacist.
3) It extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere. White supremacy exists here, in America, which is everywhere.
4) White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it.
I see Lamond is still experiencing the inferiority complex he has had for decades and continues to embrace violent rhetoric and imagery to compensate for his lack of self-inflicted powerlessness. Meh.
As for the source, theroot is a site full of self-loathing and feel-good victim blaming. They are weak because their solutions are never about raising their own standards, but taking from others they falsely believe have benefited from using others. There is no personal responsibility in their world; only blame. They live in a perpetual state of anger.
I can see why it appeals to Lamond. He has never had the slightest clue as to how and fend for himself.

Oh my.
Every time MrsCrapio shoots off his mouth, when I go to bed, I have the same dream.
I dream that I'm leaving a meeting with God, Who told me I wasn't wanted there yet, and so please get the Hell out of there and come back when it was my time.
In between pearl-covered gates and this time and place, I have to elbow my way through crowds of black dudes of all ages and sizes. They are stopping me, and asking the same question. I'm nearly suffocated by the press of the sheer numbers.
They're all black men who'd been murdered by other black men, and the question they all have is why MrsCrapio expresses concern only for the near-negligible minuscule number of black dudes murdered by whitey. They want to know why MrsCrapio, one of their own, doesn't care about them.
Sadly, I have to tell them I don't know why.

Root-Moron and Corpulent don't like gerrymandering? Maybe they should un-gerrymander this district for starters:

It came as no surprise to see that this hideously racist article (I'd imagine its content is not that different from what those in Nazi Germany said and wrote about the Jews) came from The Root.
For those who have been lucky enough to have never heard of it before, The Root is a a black- supremacist online magazine known largely for four things: 1) Its psychotically ultra- left- wing stances on everything, 2) Its manic, frenzied, foaming- at- the- mouth racism towards white people in everything they put out, which has caused one Youtube commenter to rightfully refer to them as "Stormfront for black people," 3) The completely ridiculous hypocrisy that is displayed on it, as the people there regularly claim that they are "Fighting racism" while spewing out garbage that is over twenty times more blatantly racist than the stuff they are condemning, and 4) How completely idiotic its columnists, spokespeople, and positions on every issue are. Its moronic Youtube videos often rely solely on articles from their own website (Most of which either take the issues in question out of context, horrifically overexaggerate them, or just flat- out lie about them) as source materials to try and back up their brainless, bigoted claims.
They are so full of crap, they make Rolling Stone Magazine look like an honest, fairly- balanced, respectable news source in comparison.
DUmmies have posted hatemongering articles from that site on DU before.
DU and the Root are truly a match made in Hell.

Political opportunism at its worst.
Lefty denigrated Asians:
School district hides statistics page that excludes Asian Americans from ‘students of color’
GREG PIPER - ASSOCIATE EDITOR
NOVEMBER 17, 2020
...
North Thurston Public Schools divided students by “White/Asian” and “students of color” in its “Monitoring Student Growth” report, which looks at “opportunity gaps for historically underserved students of color and students who are experiencing poverty.”
The report drew notice Monday night from journalist Zaid Jilani, who called the exclusion of Asian-Americans from “students of color” an example of “racecraft.”
“Your ‘color’ is defined by the average performance of your group in school?” he tweeted

Everybody here knows as well as I do, that it's quite reasonable to assume that nearly all, if not all (with the exception of MrsCrapio, of course), of the primitives on that thread are the detested people of whiteness.
If they're ashamed of being white, and think that they as whites enjoy certain advantages nonwhite people don't enjoy, why don't they in a magnanimous humanitarian impulse, off themselves?
-
What's confusing about MrsCrapio's hatred of whitey is that it doesn't extend to young blonde women of better-than-average aesthetics.
He sure likes having his picture taken with them.
Of course, his age--he is surely near 60 now, with many of the ailments common to older black males--has probably slowed down his hormones and so he can't get excited like he used to.
And probably his passionate hatred of all that is good and decent has drained his sensual gratification even more.
-
the people there regularly claim that they are "Fighting racism" while spewing out garbage that is over twenty times more blatantly racist than the stuff they are condemning,
Many of them believe that it is impossible for them to be racist by the mere fact that they are black.
