Police say Mauricio Garcia, 33, shot and killed 7 people and wounded 7 more at a mall in Texas. A cop killed Garcia. Philip Bump of the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, blamed white supremacy. His proof was a patch the accused wore which had the initials RWDS on it.
Look, let’s get real. Without the white race none of the stuff that makes modern life worth living would exist. Let’s stop letting every idiot who needs to make himself feel better by disputing this make us ashamed of that very clear and obvious fact.
When it comes to what to do about it, Scott Adams hit it squarely on the head.
It is 6:27am central time and now, after reading this, my head is spinning. I think I’ll call it a day and stay in bed, lest I go on a white supremist fueled rampage.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character."
I never knew he was a white supremacist; I always thought it was the guys in the white hoods. So confusing...
This isn't hypocrisy. It's naked political thuggery, racist thuggery at that. Here you have a bunch of white people who have been using accusations of white supremacy to keep each other in line, but the non-white population has been escaping the plantation while they weren't working, so they're going to attempt the same tactic on them. And while it might feel like it's about Trump and his supporters and voters, Trump was basically the test case.
There are a lot of weird things about the shooting. The first was that the Dallas *ATF* was on the scene, not the Allen police or the Dallas police but the Dallas *ATF*, which is a branch of the federal agency. And it wasn't even after the fact. Here is their tweet: "ATF personnel are responding to the active shooter incident at Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, TX. Allen Police Department is the point of contact and will release more information as it becomes available." What the hell? The ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) is a regulatory body. They're not a swat team. There was no reason for them to be there, on the scene, during the incident.
The accusations that he was a white supremacist started flowing after people on Twitter noticed a tattoo on his hand that resembles (or is) the logo for the city of Dallas. There were suggestions (it's Twitter after all, so who knows how much basis there is for this) that he was part of a gang called Tango Blast whose members tattoo themselves with city logos.
The claim that he was a white supremacist come from two sources: the patch, which we're taking the word of "law enforcement" existed (remembering that "law enforcement" in this case could be the ATF, which is part of the corrupted federal apparatus) and some random back channel chat group that Bellingcat (remember that name) "found." Here is Bellingcat's description of itself: "Bellingcat is a Netherlands-based investigative journalism group that specialises in fact-checking and open-source intelligence. " What it really is, is a way for the intelligence services of various countries to disseminate actual disinformation disguised as journalism. And if you don't believe me, ask yourself this question: What the hell is a "Netherlands-based investigative journalism group" doing worrying about a random shooting in Allen, Texas?
Mr. Surber, you would do well to read and understand what you have written:
“At face value, this belief appears to not only amounts to a dismissal of the lived experiences of people of color, but also suggests that racism does not exist so long as one ignores it."
I say........
So, ignore it. I have wondered many times why conservative writers and columnists continue, almost endlessly, about things one might consider 'racist.' If you don't believe me, remember the Rachel Dolezal issue. She is as black as I am (I'm not), yet the media and yes, the senile old bitch Joe Biden, got wind of it and now ALL government agencies have incorporated the D.I.E. (Diversity, Inclusion and Equality) into even MORE racist issues.
PLEASE, just STOP with this racist BS and be glad this Texas killer is where he belongs and there are NO appeals.
Regardless of their color, nationality, or politics, what every single one of these mass murders have in common is mental illness, with not just suicidal but homicidal intent as well, to hurt as many people as possible because they feel “aggrieved” for God knows what. Life has no meaning to them, theirs or anyone else’s, and how they got to that point is as varied as they are. The fact that they use a gun to fulfill their fantasies of going out in a “blaze of glory” is more an indictment of the culture that’s been created in our current society as whole than any of the shooters particular race or political persuasion or social issue. We’ve created a culture of whiners, who feel left out if they’re not accepted by the cool kids, don’t have all the same toys and influence, or feel they’ve been abandoned by whoever, family, friends, the world in general, and have nothing left to lose. That stuff cuts across every socio-economic-ethnic-religious-political demographic there is. We have a CULTURE problem, pure and simple, and it’s of our own making.
What can be done about it, to help prevent it from happening, short of shoring up defenses in schools, malls, wherever, I honestly don’t know. The culture we live in has created these monsters and taking away guns from law-abiding American citizens ain’t the answer, but maybe arming more of them might be.
Slavery was not evil because it was racist, slavery is evil because it is slavery. Slavery is also ancient. It provided the renewable sustainable biodegradable energy for the elites for millennia. Interracial slavery did not become commonplace until a leap in transportation technology in the 16th Century allowed slaves sold by Africans to be transported to the Americas to provide sustainable renewable energy for the elites. Technological improvements in energy production later made it possible to eliminate slavery in the West. Within approximately 100 years of the Watt-Wilkinson collaboration that produced an efficient fossil fueled steam engine, slavery was abolished in the West. Slavery reappeared in Germany during the fossil fuel shortage of the first half of the 1940s. (Audrey Hepburn’s step-brother along with many other Belgians, Dutch, French and other Europeans were enslaved to ameliorate the fossil fuel shortage)
Apparently, MLK was a white supremacist according to the Bumpian narrative. He sought for folks to be judged, not by the color of their skin, but rather by the content of their character. Of course, I must be a white supremacist as well because I try to treat everyone with respect and dignity unless they give me reason not to do so. Shame on me.
Larry Elder/the face of white supremacy.You can not make this shit up ,theses people are deep down evil buried in the idiocy of racial and class division .Great post Mr. Surber ,plow ahead.
So if I treat people of all skin colors as equal in the sight of our Creator, that makes me a racist? How then am I expected to discern a person of color’s “lived experience” and how should I treat them according to the color of their skin? And isn’t that different treatment the very definition of racism?
How can I trust that an encounter with a person of color won’t be violent towards my white skin? And isn’t THAT racist? The uncertainty into which this confusing situation places me is now considered MY fault and signals that I am a racist?
Where does one go to get the “skin color” manners book? The old manners book I grew up with instructed me to BE colorblind. Decent people understood then that good manners meant to put at ease everyone one may encounter. Sorta like the Golden Rule. Now 40, 50 years hence the rules change again? Unspecified rules at that.
I reject that the color of anyone’s skin determines their interactions among all races of people. I refuse to “bend my knee” to those who seek to engender fear and division between people of all colors.
So many questions and complexities exist when all people of all skin colors reject God’s Word in which there is no distinction among skin colors or class separations as all of us are one in Christ Jesus.
Scum like Bump knows exactly what he's doing. > > > He is trumpeting vile race-bait propaganda to keep the masses below him as divided as possible. As long as the masses are divided and at each other's throats, they won't be ripping out the throats of scum like Bump who are exploiting and destroying them.
Why are privileged white people, usually journalists, always pointing out white privilege and racism? They won't be so privileged when their media jobs disappear. Is learning how to code a privilege or a right?
Isn't the argument that you can be a person of colour and white supremacist. eg/ the black face of white supremacy as Larry Elder was called, just being racist. All these rules are confusing. What about judging people on the content of their character? Is that not OK now?
Look, let’s get real. Without the white race none of the stuff that makes modern life worth living would exist. Let’s stop letting every idiot who needs to make himself feel better by disputing this make us ashamed of that very clear and obvious fact.

The Narrative is a Procrustean bed - the facts must be altered to fit it.

As this plays out.The left is unraveling. They have no hope caught in their universe of hate ,fear, and loathing. It must suck to be Bump.
So if I treat people of all skin colors as equal in the sight of our Creator, that makes me a racist? How then am I expected to discern a person of color’s “lived experience” and how should I treat them according to the color of their skin?

It’s that simple.
