The things I say will attract actual racists, actual lunatics, actual anti-semites, and actual ___ists of many stripes.
I am aware of this. I cannot stop it. Because of how deranged our culture has become, "respectable" people have made it impossible to acknowledge, let alone denounce, bigotry or aggression against white people, straight people, men, or anyone else held to be an "oppressor."
Before recently, that worry stopped me from even acknowledging out loud that something like anti-white racism is real. And it is a danger.
I will not be self-censoring on that anymore, despite the inevitable guilt-by-association that will accrue to me.
However, I will also have no truck with *genuine* racists or bigots of any stripe. This is not a safe space for that. I will deal harshly and finally with any examples of this.
Same, but I’m avoiding Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco, California. There’s a lot of normal California if you go rural, small town or inland. I’m avoiding big cities and crowds these days.
Yes, indeed! Apparently, our society never learned the meaning of the expression “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”, because that’s clearly what we’re doing.
I tread lightly here. The author of Burmese Days would probably err on the side of not defending imperialism and colonialism. I'd like to think any rabbit he raised would be similarly disposed.
I dunno, Jim…if George were with us today, he’d (a) be absolutely gobsmacked; and (b) might see things differently after all the additional “history” that has taken place since his death.
I certainly find it hard to believe that he would be signing up with the “decolonizers”, screaming his two minutes of hate at Goldstein and reveling in all the latest newspeak …
You seem to have skipped over a very crucial part of Belgraviadave’s initial comment: “We cannot deny the downsides but we must replace the existing negative critique with a confident, positive one.”
Of course, I’m only a rabbit, but the way I read his comment was precisely as a way to end the cycle. We can’t change the past, but there is also no need to hold one group of people uniquely responsible for the ugly things that so many others have done throughout history (albeit sometimes at a lesser scale). We should clearly be focusing on improving the future for everyone, which can’t be done if everyone is embittered and resentful.
The self-flagellation of the woke has not resulted in a better society (quite the opposite), and the craven “anti racism” movement has simply been collective punishment of Whites for “the sins of the father”, and a power/money grab for Ibram Kendi et al.
If, by “colonialism”, you’re accepting the woke definition, then you should immediately deed your property to the local indigenous tribe (if the current one didn’t seize it from a previous one), and decamp to wherever your ancestors are from, lest you be guilty of continued colonization. People who live in glass houses…😉
I think we know he'd be against the movement, but he wouldn't have expressed the sentiment as repudiating anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. First principles and all. He would have used language more carefully and not ceded territory to the woke.
The promotion of identity politics and policies based on Critical Theory contributes to conflicts between identity groups. Its also related to the Law of Attraction, which postulates that you get more of what you focus on, good or bad. If all anyone does is talk about 'racism' its guaranteed that they will get more of it.
Great work on awakening our people to antiwhitism is being done by Jason Kohne, https://nowhiteguilt.org . Besides writing inspiring books, he livestreams frequently, interviewing interesting and important people like you! I hope to see you on his show one day, or him on yours.
What's hilarious about this is that it's ambiguous. It could easily be some woke moron who meant "stop the hate perpetrated by white people, which is the biggest problem in the world," just as easily as "stop hating white people." LMAO.
Josh, Josh, Josh...you know that it is not only acceptable to hate whites but it is celebrated.
Seriously though, the climate today has succeeded in making me think twice before going into communities that are majority non-white where i did not hesitate a few years ago. California has now made it illegal to take a gun practically anywhere there are other people thus nullifying that as a form of self defense.
This was when I knew it had gotten bad. I took a group of students to an event. There were five, three white and two Asian. The school is diverse across race, income, religion and it’s a small-ish community. We walked in and the room was filled with mostly black students. My students clammed up like I’ve never seen them before. I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I asked them later and the first words out of their mouths were, “pretty sure they all hate us.” Yeah. Good job, everyone.
There is also the possibility of being video recorded for requesting customer service, objecting to being harassed, etc, and having your entire life destroyed for the sin of being a "Karen."
That particular story supports your thesis in every possible way. "Stop White Hate" was somehow straw-manned into "anti-black" racism by our fabulous demographic of professional victims. They are so shamelessly narcissistic it's mindblowing.
And on that note, I read research somewhere years ago that found that Blacks rate on average high in narcissistic traits.
Can we talk about the elephant in the room? What does Lt. Ranieri have against wearing sideburns?
Intolerance of sideburns is a problem. Before you accuse me of focusing on minutia, just know that it starts with intolerance of sideburns, then it escalates to intolerance of tolerance. Take a stand. Make a difference. Wear sideburns.
Who actually believes what that parent was claiming about her daughter being bullied by kids saying the N word with a rope in hand? In what I understand as a community in Massachusetts?
Get out of here with that Jussie Smollett nonsense.
I experienced anti-white racism up close and personal when I first moved to Los Angeles right after the Rodney King Riots. A black guy mistook a face I made in the car (when he almost hit me despite my having the right-of-way) as being racially motivated. I had not even directed the face AT HIM I was more like, "ugh, someone almost hit me," and would have made the same face if a white woman had been driving.
He followed me to my apartment, blocked my car in, screamed obscenities at me, called me a white bitch and said he was going to kill me for making a face "at him," which I did not, all the while holding what was likely a weapon behind his back. He did this because he apparently wrongly assumed I had racism in my heart. I had enough sense at 22 to a) have my car door locked while driving in LA and b) apologize profusely, which saved my life, I'm sure. Otherwise, I might be dead right now. Seriously.
It's because of this experience that I've tried to caution people against these judgments of whites automatically being motivated by racism (such as George Floyd) but when I've done so, I've been literally labeled a white supremacist by whites, which is freakin' ridiculous, as I have always had close black male friends...unlike most of those sheltered white liberals who are projecting their own inner racism out on everyone else.
PS I want to add to this, despite this incident, most black people are super nice provided you don't have an obvious stick up your butt. I go to the Kaiser right outside of DC and not a lot of white people are patients there. If you get into an elevator in the morning the black patients are like "Good morning" and "Hello there" and all nice and greeting everybody else...I never experienced that in an elevator full of white people.
Those white folks calling you racist are taking a major gamble that racist POC will return the favor, in a similar fashion to all the women supporting “trans women are women” garbage. In the back of their minds, they believe their bullshit will protect them from predatory males. It will not.
How exactly was that a hate crime? How is "Stop white hate," a form of hatred?
These people need to learn that the more you come down on the "White, straight, male, Christian" for requesting that you stop hating them, the more white nationalists you will create.
I want Texas to secede from the United States and go our own way. I'm tired of the anti-American rhetoric that's flowing from DC, from the universities, and from the schools.

I am not your friend, if this describes you.
100%

Same. Moved from CA to GA and boy am I happy about it.

Did you see the manifesto from the Nashville shooter? Def corroborates this.

Thank you for this, Josh!

That was my deal when I saw it, I was like, in what way do they actually mean that, and in which way are the upset people understanding it?
The former reference is exactly how I interpreted it.
Agree I may sound simple but it confused me. Then the Mom's changed the subject.
I took the sign like you, as in a woke person claiming that hate perpetuated by white people needs to stop.
Wouldn't it be great if you could make money editing this shit?
So a “stop white hate” sign is a hate crime? What? The world has gone crazy. Thank you, Josh, for bringing this ridiculousness to light.
Most of the anti white rhetoric is promoted by liberal white’s who literally hate themselves. This is the problem .
Amusingly, it is unclear whether the sign meant to stop anti-white hatred or hatred held by whites.
Josh, Josh, Josh...you know that it is not only acceptable to hate whites but it is celebrated.
Seriously though, the climate today has succeeded in making me think twice before going into communities that are majority non-white where i did not hesitate a few years ago.

What a sad, terrible world we are bequeathing our children.
There is also the possibility of being video recorded for requesting customer service, objecting to being harassed, etc, and having your entire life destroyed for the sin of being a "Karen."

Which perhaps explains the problems in Africa.
