Liberal Racism Strikes Again

Racists come in all shapes, sizes, and political affiliations. I haven’t met a ton of Republican racists, but they are out there.

What’s different about liberal racists is that race, gender, and sexuality have become the defining categories of the Democrat ideology. “Intersectional” oppression and politics are so deeply intertwined that you get weird groups like “Queers for Palestine.” Shared “victimhood” throws together groups that shouldn’t be allies in any normal world.

The intertwining of race identity and politics is considered to be so strong that the President can actually say “‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.’ Black=Democrat.

Conservative Blacks are considered race traitors–the same logic applied by White supremacists is at the heart of modern Leftist politics, just as gays are required to be Democrats, and so on.

That’s how you get racist ads like this one from the Black Voters Matter Action PAC:

“All skinfolks ain’t kinfolks.”

That’s quite an assertion. Daniel Cameron is the first Black Attorney General of Kentucky and the current Republican candidate for Governor of the state.

He apparently isn’t Black because he is a Republican, and Republicans are racists. Even though a Black man is their candidate for governor.

Blackness isn’t just a characteristic, like being tall or red-haired. It is the defining characteristic of one’s humanity according to the racist identarian politics of the Left.

Ironically, were this true, White people should vote for Whites and Blacks for Blacks, and I have news for the Left: Blacks make up less than 13% of the US population and less than 9% of Kentucky. If one should vote based on race then Blacks would be frozen out of political power.

That they aren’t, tells you that Americans aren’t all that racist. Racists exist, but not in sufficient numbers to keep Blacks from power.

Leftists, though, are obsessed with race and identity–their ideology is racist to the core. “All skinfolks ain’t kinfolks.” Vote Democrat because Blacks are Democrats.

This is the core idea of identity politics: what you believe, how you act, and especially how you vote are supposed to be driven solely by your intersectional identity. And your intersectional identity is tied to that of others on the ladder–the unity of the oppressed classes.

In another irony, should this Leftist ideology actually gain power you would see exactly what has happened every time Leftists win: the identarians turning on each other. Queers for Palestine would get wiped out by Palestinians, and White Leftists would wind up fighting Black Leftists for supremacy.

What unites them is lust for power; once attained as a group, the fight within the group intensifies.

You have racial supremacists, gender supremacists, sexuality supremacists, drag queen supremacists…ad infinitum. What unites them right now is hatred of cis White males. Should they ever win the battle against them little will unite them at all.

No doubt the useful idiots of Leftism will join with Black Voters Matter to choose the “authentic” Black candidate, who happens to be the very White Andy Beshear.

Go figure. If you can’t figure out whether to vote for Beshear or Cameron, you ain’t Black.”
