If You Don't Agree With Me, You're a R****t Who Likes Death Threats
On Monday, George Yancy, a black professor of philosophy at Emory University, wrote a lengthy piece in The New York Times detailing the awful death threats he has received from white r****ts. I can sympathize -- throughout 2016, I received my fair share of death threats. But Yancy sees those death threats as representative of a deeper malignancy plaguing all of white America, not a sickness within a subset of the population. Thus, he asks, "Should I Give up on White People?"
Yancy's case isn't particularly strong.
According to him, he faces a serious dilemma: "Do I give up on white people, on white America, or do I continue to fight for a better white America, despite the fact that my efforts continue to lead to forms of unspeakable white r****t backlash?" But why exactly is that a serious dilemma? America isn't filled with r****ts -- America is one of the least r****t places on Earth, and its rate of r****m has been decreasing steadily for years. In order for Yates' complaint to make any sense, he has to believe that America is actually becoming more r****t.
And he does. He says that he is "convinced that America suffers from a pervasively malignant and malicious systemic illness -- white r****m." He offers no statistics to support this contention. And he suggests that those who disagree with his contention do so out of willingness to ignore white r****m: "There is also an appalling lack of courage, weakness of will, spinelessness and indifference in our country that helps to sustain it."
So, to get this straight, you may not be r****t, but if you believe that most Americans aren't r****t, just like you, you're an aider and abettor of r****m. You're in league with those sending the death threats. In fact, you're a monster under almost any circumstances. Yancy calls w***e A******ns "monsters ... Land takers. Brutal dispossession. And then body snatchers and the selling and buying of black flesh." No one alive in the United States has forcibly dispossessed anyone of land; this has been true for generations. No one alive in the United States has been involved in the s***e trade. Yet the legacy of white r****m lives on in us, according to Yancy.
So, how are w***e A******ns to escape this label?
Only by agreeing with Yancy. He praises one of his white students who agreed: "The system is r****t. As a white woman, I am responsible to dismantle that system as well as the attitudes in me that growing up in the system created. I am responsible for speaking out when I hear r****t comments."
Well, of course we're responsible for speaking out when we hear r****t comments. That's not a revelation. But Yancy wants more than that. He wants a collective oath by white people to never deny generalized white r****m, fact-free or not.
Which, of course, is r****t. Yes, r****m plays a central role in American history. Yes, there are still r****ts in America. But slandering white America in general for the crimes of a few bad apples is no better than slandering black America for the crimes of a few. If Yancy wants to deal with r****t death threats, he could start by recognizing that we're all in this together -- and that we side with him against those who threaten him -- rather than pre-emptively characterizing us as the types of people who would write such vitriolic and evil screeds.

Just one of millions of poor colored folks who have been thoroughly miseducated.
They already have the one hope that they need for peace and prosperity.
But they choose to ignore it.

The only person that any of us can look to provide for their hope and prosperity is themselves. The source of the true hope and prosperity is God, from whom all blessings originate. But in terms of humans, each of us has only themselves to look for.The best choice is to ask God for the strength and guidance to help you do it the right way.

My first taste with r****m was 5 when I brought a Black friend home to play after school. In the service I depended on B***k A******ns and they depended on me. There was no r****m just respect for each other. I respect everyone I meet unless they give me reason not to. I have never been a r****t or dealt in the s***e trade. If anyone is a r****t it's the clown teaching our children this crap in schools and universities across this sorry excuse for a free nation.
If anyone is a r****t look to Democrats who have divided us by g****r, race, age, income, and level of stupidity to pray on the mentally challenged, the morally depraved, and how everyone but the Leftest is out to get you. What's pathetic is the number in this country who couldn't tell the difference between the Constitution and the C*******t Manifesto and don't plan on finding out. Since our country is at war 24 7 bring back the draft. Allow these Leftest a chance of honor in the field. Kissing the bottom of a fox hole while being shelled all night. Between the bombs going off and the screams of friends will knock that r****m right out of them.

Do the l*****ts believe in shedding blood equally to keep our country free so that they can spew their anti liberty and anti American propaganda. I agree that all these l*****t butt holes should have to serve 2 years in the military to show them what freedom really looks like since they are clueless!!

I had black friends in the military, and I saw ghetto class black people that h**ed w****s and stuck with each other...they were like aliens from another planet, couldn't even understand them their english was so bad.
And I saw some of the most r****t white guys I've ever known, worse than my dad, they were from Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas. These guys truly h**ed b****s.
It is what it is and everyone is different.
