Bill Whittle and Alfonzo Rachel take on the pervasive and growing scourge of critical race theory as a power play that fans the flames of divisiveness — now reaching into so-called Asian-American communities.

Why can’t there be racism against white people?
They have an answer for that… but it hinges on a re-definition of “racism”.
Right … it’s the “white people have the power” argument, the “it’s race + power” argument from which they derive “it’s systemic” and then everything about the culture becomes racist, from things that are European derivative to “cultural appropriation” by the evil “whites” of anything non-European.
Here’s how I like to set the stage for arguments over this. I ask, “Can you tell me in one sentence what is wrong with racism?”
No, it’s NOT because I don’t think anything is wrong with it, I do, and I know what it is and I can express it in one sentence. And I want to know if YOU can. Otherwise we are talking about two different things*.
And here it is: “It is unfair to the individual”
No, it’s NOT more complicated than that. If you have to make it more complicated than that, you have an agenda that has to do with something other than fighting racism.
*this is key. Again, they re-define words to include what they want to condemn or promote, and then rely on the connotative power of the original meaning to apply to whatever it is they’re trying to condemn or promote. This is a key tactic of theirs.
I find most Asian Americans I know aren’t susceptible to this nonsense. I’ve known several and I’m quite close to a couple.
Do they get discriminated against because of their race? Yeah, sometimes. Assholes abound and have various excuses for being assholes to people. But it ain’t systemic, and they don’t think “white” people, in general, hate them.
Asians have more to worry about experiencing racism from blacks than whites. Most of the attacks on Asians in the last year have been ‘black-on-yellow’. Something the MSM has been very careful to avoid saying.
IMO, the point of the Asian oppression narrative is an attempt at moral equivalence generated by the CCP.
Bill at 6:02: not sure his claim about relative deaths at Dresden vs. Japanese atomic bombing is valid. My quick search suggests 25,000 to a max of 40,000 killed at Dresden. Vs. perhaps 130,000 to 230,000 in Japan. Not a happy topic to research so I am not bothering with my links.
I just want to say thanks to Bill and Alfonzo for modeling what real dialog looks like. You each are clearly active listeners and are able to comment on what the other said without having to put the other down or just make stuff up to make your point. Thank you for being such great role models.
To heck with those dusty old parchments at the National Archives. If the woke are really serious about purging the evils of whiteness, why aren’t they targeting the U.S. Patent Office? All those labor-saving devices are capitalist tools of oppression, don’tcha know. Nothing signals being down with the struggle like . . . struggle.
Alfonzo called it: Fredrick McKinley Jones.

Refrigerated Trucks. The guy also built a radio station from scratch and movie sound equipment that later sold to RCA. Black mother, Irish father and orphaned at 11.
White people aren’t racist – we are better on average, and that’s why we are generally much more willing to credit non-whites for their successes than others are willing to allow us. We don’t need bluster and bravado or tear others down in order to boost our self-esteem. The envious, the grievance-mongers, the victim-wallowers, the, let’s just say it, losers hate that. The progressives are following the socialist/communist script: create divisiveness and dissension among groups in order to conquer them.
The supremacist Muslims and the supremacist Han Chinese also feel this way. Why isn’t anyone asking/ demanding reparations from them? Or perhaps even just the return of previously “donated” tribute or Jizya taxes?
It’s starting to feel like divide and hate is all the Democrats have left to offer
Have left?? They had something else in the past three generations?
Fair pont. Or as Rush used to describe their party slogan back in teh 90s, “The only thing we have to offer is… FEAR ITSELF!!”
I was never an active listener to Rush, but that sounds like the kind of “gotcha” comment he would generate. And why he attracted something like 18 million (or more?) listeners each day. RIP.
I’m a woman of color. My particular hue is what used to be called “peach” in the old Crayola box. Might still be; it’s been a few decades since I’ve used crayons.
I was “olive-skinned” when I was younger. Though closer to the “Tan” in the original 64 colors. Taking after my mother’s Italian side rather than the near transparent “Apricot” of my father’s Polish heritage.
I was called many things growing up: Guinea, WOP, Dago, half-breed, dumb Polack, Mafia – Neither White nor Honkey was amongst them. White were those whose family traced back to England (not Ireland), Germany, Norway, and the like.
It’s nice to know how privileged we were back then. We were unaware. Having grown up during the depression, the children of immigrants and both having lost one parent, my dad lost his father at 7, my parent’s never felt privilege. What they did have was a sense of caring for their fellow travelers as neighbors had helped to take care of them. Which of the 64 anyone’s skin matched was irrelevant to the discussion.
I happen to think the vast majority of people think like I do, that hue doesn’t matter. But the goal is to place barriers between people and making people think that they are held down, when none of us truly are.
Quick search, a black fellow name Latimer invented an early version of AC. He also worked w/ Edison and is credited w/ key elements of other inventions. Willis Carrier invented a version of AC that was a practical consumer product.
