Post-U.S. election, the newest word coined is “white-lash”. It rhymes with “white trash” and kinda sounds like an ivory-coloured whip but it’s a term used by some on the left to blame American Caucasians for screwing up Billary’s coronation.
This pithy buzz word comes courtesy of CNN’s Van Jones, clearly devastated by the will of the American people. Trying to make sense of what happened on election night, Jones said:
“People have talked about a miracle [but] I’m hearing about a nightmare. This was a white-lash. This was a white-lash against a changing country. It was a white-lash against a black president in part. And that’s the part where the pain comes.”
Barack Obama won two terms in that same predominantly-white US of A so if the “white-lash” factor was real, Obama never would’ve made it into the White House.
And wasn’t Donald Trump’s opponent also Caucasian? Race and gender were irrelevant. If Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were white males, I’d wager Tuesday’s result would’ve been the same.
Progressives have told us terms that use the word “black” in a negative context are an unconscious and passive form of racism, so why is a 100% racially-based term such as “white-lash” okay?
I guess there’s a different standard applied when a pejorative term is directed at Caucasians.
Could this prevailing attitude that embraces double standards steeped in hypocrisy be part of the reason Hillary lost?
I’d say yes, that, and people expressing disdain for elitism at every level was the reason for the election result. Voters wanted an alternative, and they got it.
American “Progressives” of the late 19th and early 20th century were not only Leftists but they were also war-glorifying militarists. Hitler got not only his eugenic ideas from American Leftists but even his ideas about war being a purification of the national spirit etc. And who was it who said this?
“Conformity will be the only virtue and any man who refuses to conform will have to pay the penalty.”
Was it Adolf? It sounds very much like either Adolf or Mussolini at the height of their powers but it was in fact said while both Hitler and Mussolini were still in the trenches of World War I and it was said by the President of the United States, the arch-Progressive Woodrow Wilson. See here for that and many other ways (including book-burning) in which Adolf learnt from American leftists. History can be very surprising. Loberfeld’s short history of progressivism has more on its militaristic aspects.
Wilson even foreshadowed Hitler’s racism. Note this quote about his actions in 1912:
“Upon taking power in Washington, Wilson and the many other Southerners he brought into his cabinet were disturbed at the way the federal government went about its own business. One legacy of post-Civil War Republican ascendancy was that Washington’s large black populace had access to federal jobs, and worked with whites in largely integrated circumstances. Wilson’s cabinet put an end to that, bringing Jim Crow to Washington. Wilson allowed various officials to segregate the toilets, cafeterias, and work areas of their departments”.

Your point then is that Baby Doc should definitely not be P/M, having only an education degree, no previous job experience and took his million dollar legacy and multiplied it by 0.9, because it is his entry level job. Further by your premise, all conservatives and dippers should have immediately taken to the streets vandalizing, stealing and assaulting on Oct 20 because Baby Doc was elected with only 38.7%.
Have I clearly stated your argument?
But when it comes to sound policy and reasoning they’re just like kids on the playground.
It makes no difference the reason why they are violently protesting.
The fact of the matter is that they are not accepting the democratic results of the election.
Are you not able to grasp that, Centrist?
TRUMP is PRESIDENT!!!
