Are progressives purposely trying to start a race war?

[AJiveMan]

I feel sorry for you.

I already gave you my opinion, if that ain't good enough for you, too bad.

Let me correct your urban legend:

That is laughable:

But what happens when we control for both party affiliation and region? As Sean Trende noted earlier this year, "sometimes relationships become apparent only after you control for other factors".


In this case, it becomes clear that Democrats in the north and the south were more likely to vote for the bill than Republicans in the north and south respectively. This difference in both houses is statistically significant with over 95% confidence. It just so happened southerners made up a larger percentage of the Democratic than Republican caucus, which created the initial impression than Republicans were more in favor of the act.

Nearly 100% of Union state Democrats supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act compared to 85% of Republicans. None of the southern Republicans voted for the bill, while a small percentage of southern Democrats did

As for Byrd.....much of his racism continued long after his alledged change of heart. And he publicly used the term "nigger" as late as the 1990s. I saw nothing that strongly suggested that his claim of change was based on anything more then political expediency.

except that is not true.

I am sorry you are do delicate. But the story is that the early teaparties used the term and the left adopted it as a way to make fun of them.

Well this is a cheap and ignorant shot.



Seriously? It is the biggest story of the week, I am sorry you don't understand the importance of it. Maybe you don't care about it.



you think Russia is safer that Seattle then you need to come back to reality.

Thank you for those random but incorrect insults.

Jewish Harvard professor calls again for genocide of White people - redpillfactory.com

Blacks were by no strange coincidence catapulted by their Jewish producers into the forefront of once-White American music culture. What can be observed today, with impressionable young Whites literally worshipping Blacks through songs and entertainment, began with the Jewish promotion of Jazz in the early 20th century. Make no mistake about it. White people have been under psychic attack by Jews and their African rhythm bands to race-mix out of existence for longer than most have the fortitude to accept. They'll even tell you themselves in their own publications that Jazz really was a nightmare for the White race:


It cannot be credibly argued that Jews, along with Jew-thinkers, are not tirelessly attempting to genocide the White race by way of "diversity" and mass immigration into White countries, and only White countries.

Got to this piece of tripe and needed to read no further.

Every side has its share of idiots.

The area I live in is probably around 30% black folks... and honestly I rarely ever meet black folks that really and truly "hate whitey" with a violent passion. Even when I'm working in the "hood" in town, I just be myself and chill and do what I need to do and nobody bothers me... far from it, even in the "hood" most black folks are friendly, if you're friendly to them in return. For all that I live in the South, we honestly live and work and play side by side these days and mostly get on just fine. I don't think a few nutjobs are going to change that, and I don't think we should overreact to a few isolated incidents.

Can you please tell that to the hacks who constantly post the "dumb Obama voters" video?

And there you go. I was once a courier for a delivery company, my job to pick up and deliver medical supplies.

One day, I picked up 20 cases of renal supplies, quite heavy, and cumbersome. Delivery to Cabrini Green. When I arrived, no numbers on the housing units. A couple of cats walked up to my truck and asked who I was looking for. I gave them the name of the patient, they said yeah man, he lives right over there, and asked what I had, and I told them medical supplies. Darn, they helped me carry those 20 heavy boxes up to the third floor. Afterwards, we smoked a couple of squares and chatted, nice people. Everything was cool.

Cabrini Green was sort of a good place to live for many in it's prime, but the CHA failed in keeping the place up to normal housing standards, elevators inoperative, they let the place run down badly, gangs came in and pretty much took it over. The CHA is just about entirely responsible for Cabrini Green's demise, the CHA was basically a slum lord.

It has been torn down, thankfully.

 

[Paschendale]

Yep. Race war. Totally. We (white progressives) all secretly hate being white so much. We desperately want to obliterate European genetics from the world. We have so much shame and guilt over what our ancestors did that we simply cannot live with ourselves. The only reason progressives don't all turn to suicide is because we couldn't take the rest of the white race with us. We won't be satisfied until white people spend 400 years as slaves to blacks and everyone in the US only speaks Spanish. Also we want to nuke Boston and Dallas on behalf of Japan. And institute Sharia law because we're completely petrified of anyone ever calling us prejudiced. Oh yeah, and it's all orchestrated by Jews. And the Illuminati and Free Masons. When we talk about progress, what we really mean is revenge against white people. I, for one, welcome our new darker-skinned overlords.

The Video has been removed by the user.

Video link is dead.

Twas noted on the second page and a link provided to the original source.

I had to track down the original source where the video is still available, but if what is reported is true, what is being advocated to be taught is wrong, racial, and insidious in nature (to even get this far) and needs to be stomped out now.

[...]

“A lot of teachers that we interviewed … said that their schools were paying them to come,” Hoft remarked. “Teachers from around the country were getting paid to attend this event so that they could go back and spread their ‘wealth of information’ – just garbage – back in the classroom and back in the teacher’s conference room.”

The conference’s website adds that teachers are eligible for continuing education credits if they attend. High school, undergraduate and graduate students are also eligible for academic credit if they participate.

Hoft, Olson, and Marcus said the conference had roughly 2,400 attendees, and many were students or educators. One individual from the Department of Education told the group there were at least 45 staff members from just one school district at the conference.

The trio said the speakers repeatedly emphasized how important it is to start teaching students about “white privilege” when they are as young as four and five years old, and that they also conflated racism was conflated with capitalism.

Olson said one of the main messages was, “in order to deal with racism … we need to attack capitalism and [change] our very economic structure and economic system.”

just in two decades and most over the issues of civil rights. It was Liberals who were pro-civil rights...didn't matter the party.

except that is not true.

And you are doing nothing but spreading a myth.

Video link is dead.

Here, I found another version:

‘The Longer You Are in the Tea Party, the More Racist You Become’: What Educators Learned at Alarming ‘White Privilege’ Conference | TheBlaze.com

Just watched the video... thanks Excon for the link.

As to the question in the thread title; I don't know. It appears that a certain element of the Progressive movement are doing all they can to condemn white people and enrage non-whites.

Watching that video, reminded me of anti-Jewish rhetoric and other racist rhetoric.

They didn't say that some white people are racist, they said that all white people and the system of governance in the US is racist against non-whites and gives special privilege to whites.

I find it funny and ironic that these people use racist tactics to supposedly condemn racism.

It's ridiculous.

I had to have a long talk with my youngest son when he came back from UNC (he's a rising senior) for the summer where he had been indoctrinated by a couple progressive professors this last semester. He yelled at me and fought for over an hour, until he finally opened his mind and started thinking for himself. It was extremely frustrating but I didn't yell back. He came home complaining about "the Koch brothers" and "white privilege" and the "damned Republicans" (which he is one) and that made me ask him some very pointed questions. Which he couldn't answer, and that's when he started yelling. I kept my cool. His older brother shook his head, looked at me, said "Good Luck" and walked away. After a while when the yelling of the younger brother stopped, the older brother came back in the living room and asked if I was able find his brother's brain that his professors had hidden from him.

It was a very vivid and personal illustration of how what the OP is discussing is in fact happening... to my damned family. All I did, was to show him that he needs to think for himself, don't take everything he's told as fact, do his own research, and then and only then make up his own mind as to what is the truth. I also told him that to pass his classes he needs to pretend to believe this crap and answer the test questions the way the professor wants them to be answered and after he graduates and has his degree in hand, he can tell the professor what he thinks, but not before.

I think I have it under control now, but we'll see.

I like both of those guys.

That actually sounds about right. It's the closest thing to the truth I've heard from a liberal in a long time.

Exactly........its refreshing to see a 'progressive' be so honest about their agenda.....

That is exactly what came to mind for me when I first saw it.

They didn't say that some white people are racist, they said that all white people and the system of governance in the US is racist against non-whites and gives special privilege to whites.

That's why their words sounded a lot to me like fighting words... Almost like a call for revolution.

Agreed

It was stated in the video that many college professors and teachers attend that hate conference, so what you went through with your son is not surprizing at all. It's all part of the indocrination that's been taking place in schools and colleges for decades now and it needs to be stopped.

Good luck... I'm pulling for you.

Maybe you didn't read my post carefully enough... I didn't say there was "going to be a race war", I merely posed the question to others. What I do believe however, is there are certainly a number of people at that "I hate whitey" conference that are doing there part to start one.

You see some people at a conference and they are all Liberals and all Liberals think and feel that way? Seriously. How can you believe this?

The level of hatred on display at that conference was chilling, and as long as people like yourself dismiss that hatred and refuse to take it seriously, it will continue to grow and one day might lead to wide spread violence and bloodshed.

That's nothing compared to Ted Nugent at a NRA conference talking about Obama. :roll:

That would be a fine point, if it were true... But since it isn't, your post is just a way for you to address their hared and their lies.

Did you mean hatred and lies?

What do you think?

FFS... The lengths a progressive will go to in order to avoid issues is mind boggling.

That doesn't answer my question but I will presume my first guess was right.
