That white people are the devil.Neither of those people have said that. That is a gross mischaracterization. Wait, what? That white people are the devil. Neither of those people have said that. That is a gross mischaracterization. Maybe it's my glasses? That white people are the devil. Neither of those people have said that. That is a gross mischaracterization. OK, I'm suffering from contact hypocrisy poisoning. :( Anyway. That white people are the devil. I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe it literally, and frankly I can understand why he'd believe it figuratively. We've done some pretty nasty shit— enforcing economic disparity, profiling, discrimination, even murdering non-white people outright. And that's just since this morning. Neither of those people have said that. GP Chris described racial equality as "propaganda" here. The "nonsense and propaganda" line comes from a different post, but if you want to quibble over exact words you can dig it up yourself. Bill Brooklyn endorsed the murder of black people in the Ferguson thread shortly after Michael Brown's death— he declared that the grand jury was right to no-bill Wilson because killing Michael Brown was legal by definition, regardless of what actually happened. (Questions of fact are not the domain of the grand jury; if it's even remotely possible that a crime has occurred, they are expected to indict and allow the facts to be resolved in court. Since Bill insisted he knows what a grand jury is and what its role is, that leaves only one possibility.) In recent threads (possibly this thread; I'd have to check), Bill endorsed the idea that simply admitting that black people face discrimination is "white guilt." He has also declared that only people "ashamed to be white" would ever consider the idea that black people face discrimination, and he uses racial slurs openly even while treating the term "white privilege" as if it were a slur. Although honestly, I have yet to hear of someone who wasn't a racist who used the term "white guilt" in earnest, so that alone should be halfway definitive. |
