Racism -- It's Everywhere! It's Everywhere!
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
It's sobering how much race dominates the public discourse today. But as long as we're discussing stereotypes, we should note that leftists and elites are the ones obsessed with race, not the flyover Neanderthals to whom they impute this evil. Give it a rest, eggheads.
Leftists can scarcely discuss any issue without injecting this toxicity. They imagine it everywhere -- the ubiquitous boogeyman that validates their perpetual vilification of conservatives. (Note: I considered using "white men" instead of "conservatives" in the preceding sentence but realized it would be unwise because A) as a possessor and unwitting purveyor of white privilege, I'm not allowed to opine publicly on these matters and B) though race-baiting elites pretend white privilege is the culprit, neither women nor African-Americans are exempt from the taint if they are political conservatives.)
Think about it. Liberals invoke race in discussions of immigration, voting, sports, education, taxes, health care, welfare and law enforcement. It is sick stuff. Consider a few examples.
--President Trump calls himself a nationalist, and liberals accuse him of speaking in code -- signaling to his supposedly alt-right base that he's a neo-Nazi. Sorry, but Trump doesn't speak in code. What you see is what you get, and to him and his grateful base, "nationalism" means patriotism. They appreciate an American president who's unapologetically bullish on America.
--Border enforcement hawks don't see immigration through a racial lens. That leftists believe or pretend to believe we do may indicate they are projecting their own prejudices onto us. For us, it's about the rule of law, our national sovereignty and our national identity, which is distinctly based on ideas grounded in liberty, not race. We are a melting pot, and a compelling reason to control our borders is to ensure that immigrants enter at an orderly pace and learn to assimilate into our culture rather than settle into Balkanized ethnic enclaves.
--Democrats constantly harp on alleged threats to "our democracy" -- which is odd, given their authoritarian proclivities, but again, they project. They see no inconsistency in advocating that immigrants here illegally be allowed to vote and railing against foreign interference in our elections. Here again, they invoke race. Republicans, they baselessly claim, suppress minority votes. If liberals truly cared about the integrity of "our democracy," they'd support voter identification measures, because reasonable people understand that you should have to prove you are who you claim to be before you can vote. How patronizing of Democrats to suggest that minorities are incapable of accomplishing this menial task as a condition for participating.
--With Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith's victory in the Mississippi runoff election, Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris may be removed from the Senate Judiciary Committee, because Republicans will be entitled to another committee seat and Harris is the least senior member. But -- you guessed it -- Democrats are saying it's not about her seniority but about her race.
--Speaking of Sen. Hyde-Smith, Democrats, in a desperate effort to elect Mike Espy, shamelessly smeared her as a racist based on certain lighthearted remarks she made. In the weeks between the midterm election and the runoff, Democrats ignored issues affecting the nation -- the economy and foreign policy, for example -- and framed the contest solely around whether Hyde-Smith is a dastardly racist. It didn't work.
--I just read a long essay in which the author critiqued the "Rocky" movie series in light of the latest installment, "Creed II," which he believes redeems the series from its racist themes. If I understand the piece -- and I readily admit I may not -- the series has provided white racists the vicarious enjoyment of seeing a "great white hope" defeating a superior black boxing champion. I've watched every "Rocky" movie, and race never entered my mind. Like most people, I rooted for Rocky because he was an underdog, not because his opponent, Apollo Creed, was a stand-in for Muhammad Ali, whom whites presumably loathed. Sorry again, but I was a Muhammad Ali superfan, beginning with his first fight against Sonny Liston. I rooted for him in every fight, irrespective of his opponent's race. As a Michael Jordan superfan, I rooted for him and the Bulls against Larry Bird and Bill Laimbeer. I doubt I'm much different from most white sports fans.
The left's cynical exploitation of race is wrongheaded, twisted, patronizing and incalculably destructive to society. One can pray that with improvement in economic conditions for minority communities as a direct result of conservative policies, minorities will eventually rebel against the political party that casts them as permanent victims and support the one that sees them as individuals with equal dignity, equal rights and equal aptitudes for success.

White nationalists are racists, despite your attempt to spin it. I dare you to try to argumet that the Alt-Right aren't violent racists.
What doesn't add up is saying that no one knows about the alt-right when most people know.
If no one knows what is meant, how can a comparison be made?
Are you serious? LMFAO!!!!!!
Alt-right
The alt-right , or alternative right , is a loosely connected and somewhat ill-defined [1] grouping of American white supremacists / white nationalists , white separatists , anti-Semites , neo-Nazis , neo-fascists , neo-Confederates , Holocaust deniers , conspiracy theorists and other far-right [2] fringe hate groups . [3] The alt-right intersects with, and to a large degree emerged from, the ideas and rhetoric of men's rights activists, [4] many but not all of whom have to come embrace the alt-right's platform. [5]
Alt-right beliefs have been described as isolationist , protectionist , anti-Semitic and white supremacist, [6] [7] [8] frequently overlapping with neo-Nazism, [9] [10] [11] [12] identitarianism , [13] nativism , xenophobia , and Islamophobia , [14] [15] antifeminism , misogyny and homophobia , [9] [16] [17] [12] right-wing populism [18] [19] and the neoreactionary movement . [6] [20] The concept has further been associated with several groups such as American nationalists , paleoconservatives , anarcho-capitalists , national-anarchists , [21] paleolibertarians , Christian fundamentalists , neo-monarchists , men's rights advocates and the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump . [14] [19] [20] [22] [23] [13] White supremacist [24] Richard B. Spencer initially promoted the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism; [25] according to the Associated Press , he did so to disguise overt racism , white supremacism, neo-fascism and neo-Nazism. [26]
The term drew considerable media attention and controversy during and after the 2016 United States presidential election . [27] The Trump administration has included several figures who are associated with the alt-right, such as Senior Advisor to the President Stephen Miller , Special Assistant to the President Julia Hahn , former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn , former Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon . [28] In 2016, Bannon described Breitbart (a primarily online news organization) as "the platform for the alt-right", with the goal of promoting the ideology. [29] After Trump's election, other Republican candidates for office, such as Roy Moore , Corey Stewart , Josh Mandel , Joe Arpaio and Paul Nehlen , ran with the support of the movement. [30] On the other hand, Republicans and conservatives such as Ben Shapiro and Cory Gardner [31] and members of the conservative Heritage Foundation [32] have condemned the alt-right for its racism, antisemitism and prejudice.
According to a Southern Poverty Law Center report published in February 2018, over 100 people have been killed and injured in 13 attacks by alt-right-influenced perpetrators since 2014. Political scientists and leaders have argued that it should be classified as a terrorist or extremist movement. The report expressed strong concern about the alt-right, claiming that its ideologies are radicalizing young, suburban white males and helped inspire the 2014 Isla Vista killings , the Charleston church shooting , the Quebec City mosque shooting , the vehicle ramming attack at the Unite the Right rally , the Umpqua Community College shooting as well as other lower-profile attacks and acts of violence. [33] In 2017, terrorist attacks and violence affiliated with the alt-right and white supremacy were the leading cause of extremist violence in the United States, according to the Anti-Defamation League . [34] [35]
How much do periods and commas cost?
In Mother Russia they are rationed.
Nobody but you are talking about white nationalists or the alt right. The seed is about the racism of and the use of race for political advantage by the democrat party in America. The whataboutisms from the progressive left is sad.
Can they buy them cheaper on the black markets of the dark web?
You have yet to illustrate the racism of the Democrats. Who are they targeting with the goal of trying to deny equal rights to?
Democrats are not progressives. We have our own unique secret decoder rings and we only meet on alternate Thursdays.
I was thinking my ring was no longer valid, then I realized I was trying to go on a Wednesday.
Luckily it was accepted by the Atheists having a meeting at the time.
It's not the cost, it's the fear. Commaphobia is making a comeback!
[Removed]
Are you suggesting that the alt-right isn't a racist organization? Steve Bannon said that brightbart is a platform for the alt-right and gee, who was it that hired him? Oh yea, trump.
Yup, and those things are instilled into young people as soon as they set foot on a College campus. Students are taught that they are either part of the oppressed or part of the oppressors. The only way out of being an oppressor is to become an ally of the radical left. All of this identity politics and racial division is destroying our society. It begins at the University.
This so called article is playing identity politics by accusing others of such.
The progressive democrat left is all about identity politics. It defines who and what they are.
I've never understood what identity politics are.
You have a very active imagination that is amazingly fact free.
Fact: UC Berkeley just settled a lawsuit over denial of free speech
www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/uc-berkeley-settles-landmark-free-speech-lawsuit-will-pay-70-000-to-conservative-group
Translation?
We see the handwriting on the wall, we have no real defense against the first amendment and due process claims, so it is better to capitulate and spin the defeat into a claim of victory while completely misstating the basis of the suit....
My estimation?
The UC Berkeley announcement/explanation doesn't pass common sense muster.....
They were going to have their collective asses handed to them, they just cut their losses...
What it means is that UC Berkeley would have lost. They gave the following
4. Pay a Conservative group $70,000.
And you say to everyone who is reading this that because the school dosen't have to admit discrimination that it didn't happen and they agreed to all that to save Court costs? Is that why you posted the Berkeley statement?
We all want to know?
The UC leadership was caught with their pants down and settled rather than risking an even more total and complete defeat.
Now if we could just do the same to all the internet companies as well...
I wouldn't have allowed them to dodge responsibility
I say the war must continue with the University. That was the first mistake of Conservatives long ago - ceding those institutions to the left
Impasse..
The difference is one is on their own time the other they are on the clock working at a high paying job.
So racism is ok as long as it's off the clock? You moved the goal posts so far that it's not even on the same planet.
Does taking a knee during the anthem interfer in players job performance?
Not moving anything. Free speech must be protected. I agree with the ACLU director and why he fought for their free speech.
If I were the team owner or coach I’d tell them to stand. Their actions affect ticket sales and viewership. I wouldn’t stand for political crap like that when they are on the clock.
If the player's pay was dependant on the ticket sales at each game I wonder how long this would go on for ?
I would stop playing the anthem. No need to play it at a game anyway.
I always figure there were multiple reasons for playing the national anthem before games and other events. It's to energize and or jass up the crowd as one, many times before events like games where everyone soon kinda wants to beat the shit outta the other side.
Maybe they should play it at the end. lol
No, trumps reaction is what hurt ticket sales. Imagine that, one of the core beliefs of socialism is government interference in private business....and trump does it all the time.
If those so called "Border Hawks" were not primarily motivated by racial animus then armed militias would be outside the Newark International Airport lining up all those visa jumping Eastern Europeans and Russians in their goddamn gun sights.
The quote from the seed in #1 is exactly right. It’s about the rule of law, assimilation, and the melting pot, e pluribus unem—out of many one.... One nation Under God with liberty and justice for all.
"E pluribus unum".
The spelling, typo, and grammar cop has arrived...
Wasn't trying to be rude HA, just pointing it out.
How do these Eastern Europeans and Russians get past the immigration officials at the airport?
Good question!
I am a little curious about it.
They walse past customs on tourist visas then hire immigration lawyers.
You would hardly believe how many rich Russians and Easter Europeans vacation here to give birth either. Gives them a leg up. So does purchasing expensive condos at Trump Tower or Kushner's 666 Park Ave. I am surprised you do not know this. 701,900 tourists overstayed their US tourist visas just last year alone...
I'd call or write the president and ask for a job in one of his businesses.
I wanted to see if you had any other perspectives. You never know, there might be something new.
Here is the full DHS-Homeland Security report for all overstays. The link says 2018. The report says 2017 and at the end is also, a 2016 Total.
It is a pdf file that shows all overstays."The out of country overstays" column means folks who overstayed, but left by the time the data for the report was gathered.
The DHS-Homeland Security site doesn't have the link to the most recent report, so I have to give this google link.
These people are playing with fire. This action puts them on track to lose any possibility of ever gaining permanent status.
We instantly applied for extensions on arrival to begin processing.
He just about shut down all immigration from Ukraine as of last May, so I don't know how that might work.
That's OK I'm a good lier, and o yeah, "I'm from MEXICO."
Trump-owned companies that have sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000.
The Trump companies have sought at least 850 H-2B visa workers.
The H-2B program, which receives little government oversight, is used by companies in sectors ranging from hospitality to forestry to hire foreign workers for temporary jobs.
..............
Surely some of those people have moved on by now.
All that sounds like trouble to me.
Did you look at that report? The metrics are further down in the body of the report.
Also, here is a direct link to the DHS-Homeland Security site with access to a couple prior years.
Again, it is for visitors from all countries.
How could being in America be trouble.... You know, I just want a job. Isn't trump hiring ?
I promise I'll leave when my time is up.
LOL
That's the story line.
We stay as far away from that as possible.
When you have a POTUS that is a white nationalist and has a LONG history of racist behavior, racists come out of the closet and wear their colors proudly.
Impasse...
Uh, excuse me, I live in this state and most people around here agree that what hyde-smith said was racist.
She knew exactly what she was saying. She is also on record for wanting to make it harder to vote.
No amount of spin will change what is real.
Apparently not all that many there agree with you. Voter ID doesn’t make it harder to vote.
How would you know? Making statements without any proof is easy.
Spin it any way one can. The truth is out there for all to see.
So liberal equals black? I think not.
To a lot of people around here, yes. MS has a lot of historic, all black colleges.
If most people agreed with you, she would not have been elected to the senate in a campaign vs an African American candidate.
Condoning is a form of agreement.
So a lot of those who agree with what you said voted for her anyway then. Of course there were a lot of racist whites who didn’t vote for an African American candidate for the US Senate in Maryland and Michigan last month, right?
I was speaking to what I know, which has nothing to do with other states.
townhall is obsessed with racism.
That’s right. Town Hall confronts democrat and progressive racism all the time. Those were all great articles exposing the racism on the left.
I would call it, almost promoting racism. We all know the old sayings, trying to accuse others of what their own brethren are guilty of.
What races do the DNC and us nasty secular progressives target? My secret decoder ring is broken so I didn't get the latest memo from George Soros or sHillary.
Then liberals should by that measure stop accusing conservatives of racism almost every time their mouths open to speak.
And some conservatives need to stop denying that racism still exists.
[deleted]
So you only deny it exists on the right...
It exists widely on the left and among democrat started groups like the kkk and in national socialist groups like nazis. There is no racism among mainstream conservatives. We don’t allow or tolerate it.
Neither the Klan nor Nazis were ever liberal. Both groups are now core supporters of the GOP and Donald Trump.
No they are not. They are democrat and socialist created hate groups that are not in any political mainstream in America and are a tiny fraction of the people of this country. It matters not who they support because no one accepts their support. They are a democrat and socialist created tool democrats want to transfer blame for to the party of Lincoln.
If you think the KKK votes Democrat you are mistaken. If you think the proud boys and other white nationalist groups vote Democrat, you are mistaken.
But I think you know that.
The party of Lincoln is dead.
So every time democrats attack republicans over racism I’ll keep that in mind.
Why did Kim Davis switch from being a Democrat to being a Republican after she was outed as a homophobic bigot?
As soon as the GOP and the TEAparty/Alt-right stop being racist then we will stop mentioning their bigotry.
Well, of course, that's why dems elected the first black president....TWICE.. LOL
Mike Huckabee had a lot to do with that.
What supposed plantations are you referring to?
He would be a far left wing liberal by today's standards.
Correct. They are a far right wing conspiracy and fake news website.
[deleted]
I have never had an altar and I don't own a golden calf.
The phrase "very strong right-wing bias" is an obvious euphemism for conspiracy theory and fake news.
No, it’s talking about their editorial opinion page being strongly conservative. Nothing more, nothing less.
I’ve been on that hostile enemy site and read the bs opinions written by the hateful bigots there. If that’s what he meant that’s what he said. I have been through the right sites there and saved several of them on my phone for use here. The further to the right, and the more critical he is of the site or calls it border line but not over his ridiculous stupid bigoted edge for whatever reason the more likely I’ll use it.
You are becoming more unhinged by the day when you mention MBFC. I had never heard of it until you began to rant.
One member says they are polarized by trump. Well I am by that place. I see it as a direct personal attack against me and virtually everything, every issue, very key religious and science beliefs, and nearly everyone I like and support. I have to while here until the next coc live by the letter of that fraudulent, bigoted hate site and it’s decrees enforced here, but I stand in total defiance of and contempt for the spirit of it and all it stands for. Letter of the law and nothing more.
Nobody is forcing you to be a member here, so if you don't like Perrie's rules then leave. If I don't like a site I quietly leave instead of [Deleted]
Are sites you like often identified for fake news or foreign propaganda?
Not by any rational, reasonable, objective or unbiased source...only by fraudulent hate sites operated by bigots and catering to them.
Perrie's rules ?
If I'm not mistaken I believe the rules are voted on here. I'm sure it was a quick oversight. but, I just thought that was important.
Sorry for intruding.
I don’t deal in foreign news sources or actual fake news sites or real hate sites.
I said that I’d abide by them to the letter and follow them to the letter. What more do you need? [deleted]
My irony meter just exploded.
I defended the seeded article site from an accusation by a member of it being in a censored category and pointed out it wasn’t. The rest of you are simply engaging in meta or attacking my viewpoints unrelated to the seed.
It's sobering how much race dominates the public discourse today.

removed for context
You actually deleted a quote from the seeded article? At least members can still find it in the body of the seed.
