The Old Slogan of Black Racists -- "There Is No Such Thing as Anti-White Racism" -- Is Increasingly Foundational Government Policy

New York City just got busted distributing covid tests on a preferential basis according to race, with whites, of course, the race singled out for illegal, unconstitutional adverse discrimination.

And now New York State is rationing life-saving covid therapeutics according to race, and is now being sued for this plainly racist and unconstitutional scheme.

America First Legal (AFL) is suing the New York State Department of Health over a policy that instructs healthcare workers to prioritize COVID-19 treatments to non-whites and Hispanics.
"New York's use of a patient’s skin color and ethnicity as a basis for rationing medical treatment is racist and appalling. AFL will not stand by while any government attempts to establish a racial hierarchy in the provision of life-saving medicine, and we will continue to fight on behalf of all Americans who are being denied medical treatment based on immutable characteristics such as skin color," AFL said in a press release Monday.

Aaron Sibarium points out that this racial spoils system for covid treatment was proposed by... the federal government.

The FDA, specifically.

And it's not just going on in New York -- supposedly "red" Utah is doing it too. As are other states such as Minnesota.

IIn New York, racial minorities are automatically eligible for scarce COVID-19 therapeutics, regardless of age or underlying conditions. In Utah, "Latinx ethnicity" counts for more points than "congestive heart failure" in a patient's "COVID-19 risk score"--the state's framework for allocating monoclonal antibodies. And in Minnesota, health officials have devised their own "ethical framework" that prioritizes black 18-year-olds over white 64-year-olds--even though the latter are at much higher risk of severe disease.

Here's the scoring system used in Utah:

Under their racial spoils system, simply being Hispanic earns you more points -- makes your more eligible for monoclonal antibodies -- than having congestive heart failure, which is a serious comorbidity that would mark you as a very likely dying from covid should you contract it.

But if a young, healthy 19-year-old Lantinx athlete gets covid, he gets the monoclonal antibodies and the 64-year-old white guy with congestive heart failure doesn't -- because the government has decided that whites are an officially disfavored race and intend to act on that classification.

And I'm supposed to support this government, huh?

An extremely biased black radical "journalist" decides to completely lie for The Struggle and claim that a Florida law shields "white people" from "discomfort" in racial struggle sessions imposed by schools and corporations.

A bill pushed by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel "discomfort" when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past received its first approval Tuesday.
The Senate Education Committee approved the bill that takes aim at critical race theory -- though it doesn't mention it explicitly -- on party lines, with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed

Wait I thought Critical Race Theory wasn't taught in schools. So how could this bill be "taking aim" at it in the schools?

Ever get the feeling the left is constantly lying to you and gaslighting you?

Of course it doesn't; it forbids schools and corporations from singling out any race and telling members of that race that they're inferior or responsible for the bad acts of other members of that race.

I wonder if this guy would support schools and companies making black men sit in forced reeducation sessions where they were forced to admit guilt for the greatly disproportionate amount of violent crime black men commit.

Of course he wouldn't. But there's no indignity too severe for the White Devils.

CRT is about Racial Vengeance, pure and simple -- replacing one despised and officially-disfavored race with another -- and they won't let the Constitution's guarantee that people will not be discriminated against on the basis of their race stand in the way. If the Constitution says that white people can't be made into an officially despised race, then the Constitution will have to be torn up.

How did this get past an editor? Did the race-hustling "journalist" just append a special "This article is Down with The Struggle" Post-It note to his lies knowing that his editor would then just let the lies go forward?

There is an unspoken but very, very powerful assumption in play here: many blacks and the entire woke left take it as foundational that there is no such thing as anti-white racism, and therefore you can behave as hatefully as you like towards whites -- and in fact should behave hatefully towards whites.

This is why they enact obviously discriminatorily and racially-hateful trainings and discriminations (and death sentences, in the case of withheld medical treatments) for whites.

But we're not allowed to talk about it -- in fact, even though many on the left will assert that "Anti-white racism is not a thing, all right?," on an official level, we're all supposed to pretend that this belief -- there is no possible anti-white racism because it is good and just to be racist against whites -- does not exist and has no purchase in the media, in corporations, in the universities, in public schools, or in government, when, in fact, it is
E V E R Y W H E R E.

But we can't talk about it, and because we can't talk about it, we can't pass laws against it and say, "Yes, yes there is such a thing as anti-white racism, and no, it is definitely not legal. Being #woke does not give you the right to be a vicious racist and get away with it, and use the government to push your racism on others."

When someone like DeSantis bans anti-white racism in companies and schools, you see black supremacists and the rest of the woke fascists -- who claim to be "anti-racists" -- absolutely shrieking, because they are definitely not "anti" racist at all.

They are definitely "pro" racist, very strong pro-racist. They are all in favor of state-enforced racism, against their racial enemies.

And what they call "racism" is now often the targets of their attempts to create an officially, state-manded target of racial hatred saying, "do not target us, that's not fair."

Which they say is "racist." Objecting to one's own racial victimization is "racist." Because it's "racist" to refuse to admit: White people deserve it.

If you deny it: that's racism right there.

By the way, I must insist: tHeRe Is No CrT tAuGhT iN pUbLiC sChoOlz.

A Fairfax County (Virginia) Public Schools curriculum has students play "privilege" bingo, giving them privilege points if they are white, male, employed or "involved in extra curricular [sic] activities," or "feel represented in the media."
It also says one has "privilege" if they are a "Military Kid," drawing shock from parents who pointed out that children of military members must move away from their friends constantly, not see one of their parents for months on end, potentially deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, and risk becoming orphans.

Parents who complained received a note from Assistant Superintendent Douglas A. Tyson that said:

The screen shot you reference comes from an approved FCPS English Curriculum lesson that is centered around students selecting a "choice" test and examining in detail the author's perspective on a wide-range [sic] of issues. Students are asked, in the lesson, to read critically and think critically about the author's perspective on several fronts including the author's privilege that may or may not be present in the work. Students are then asked independently and self reflectively to juxtapose their thoughts regarding any perceived privilege they think they may have and how they would potentially rewrite portions of the text. Students are not asked or required to report out their self-reflections. This lesson is an adept vehicle to push student thinking to challenge the author's thoughts/conclusions and to sharpen their ability to critically read selected texts.

There is no critical theory being taught, except for all the critical theory.

Are we ever going to actually debate the proposition that "It is now officially legal and proper to discriminate against white people (and white children) on the basis of their race," or are we just going to keep doing it while we officially pretend it's not going on?

Every single politician and government official should be demanded to answer this question -- including Republicans, many of whom would like to continue pretending that that this isn't going on, because they don't want to "make trouble" and be called a racist by objecting to it.

But it can no longer be ignored. The government is now imposing, via law, a racial caste system.

And this is called, incredibly enough: "Anti-racism!"

Isn’t this just another way of saying “everyone except straight white men”?

2 Racism is about power. White people will always have power over black people.

Therefore, black people cannot be racist against white people.

Implying that white people are better than black people in some way. Hey...don't blame me. I don't believe it. It's racists who believe it.

Why would a gay white man have greater risk than a straight white man?

Is there something in their behavior that gives them greater risk? Isn't that decision, to engage in risky behavior, suddenly the worst thing ever?

5 Funny, when we checked my dad into the ER for monoclonal treatment, he was required to sign some "non-discrimination" form along with the HIPAA form and another billing form.

So. . . a patient gets a standard form saying they've been informed of the hospital's non-discrimination policy and then there is blatant institutional discrimination in treatment "for equity???"

76 CRT is about Racial Vengeance, pure and simple -- replacing one despised and officially-disfavored race with another

I agree that CRT is about racial vengeance.

But it is not about "replacing one despised and officially-disfavored race with another."

Blacks have not been despised by anyone other than a tiny, marginalized minority of the U.S. population that has itself been despised for decades now. Nor have blacks been officially disfavored for many decades. In fact, they have been officially favored in innumerable ways (e.g., affirmative action in all its forms) for decades. And what's true for blacks is equally true for virtually any race or ethnic group one can imagine.

80 As I noted yesterday, no overtly left-wing white male will ever be nominated for the Supreme Court ever again - the Democrats won't nominate them.

Hell, Pete Beetlejuice notwithstanding, I don't think that the Democrats would appoint even a gay white male to the SC at this point.

Being tranny would probably work, though.

P.S. 2% of the lawyers in the United States are black females, so Biden is excluding 98% of the possible applicant pool.

One of the weirdest, most parochial things I've heard was from Lady YD's ex. This guy is a big time bigot, just a huge racist. He was bitching about people pushing back against CRT... but it was in the context of critical sexual/gender theory in the schools. He was bitching to her that homosexual propaganda was being taught, but people were complaining about his precious CRT.

It's all of a piece. If you have one of these Marxist curricula, you have the others. A whole lot of people just can't see past the end of their snouts, and identity politics works really, really well.

125 Americans' belief that people shouldn't be treated differently because of their ethnicity is not based on science, it's a purely philosophic or moral decision. In fact, we have chosen to ignore any studies that show racual differences in IQ or tendency toward violence or write them off as cultural artifacts.

If the left wants to end this practice and begin bringing race-based studies into government's decision making processes, things could go very badly very quickly for certain racial groups. The left likes to point out that whites will soon be a minority in the US, but it's not blacks who are replacing whites, their population is shrinking too. It's Hispanics and Asians who are going to be running things, and the have ZERO white guilt for black "leaders" to exploit.

135 The government is now imposing, via law, a racial caste system.

It's interesting how closely this system resembles the North Korea songbun system.

The amount of songbun you have in North Korea determines what schools you can attend, what jobs you can get, what food you get, where you can live, what medical treatment you get - everything.

It's just that the Norks use class status rather than racial status. Having a family with a revolutionary background is good songbun - coming from a wealthy family background or having relatives in South Korea is very bad songbun.

The point is political control, of course - the Norks have created an elite class that is dependent on the favor of the government, and the government can adjust the level of songbun to reward especially deserving supporters.

And I'll be Assiniboine Indian. They were (and maybe are) a tribe who dwelt on both sides of the U.S. Canadian border, including in the province where my mother was born. I see no reason why I can't say, "She was half Assiniboine and I'm 1/4. Prove I'm not."

Most people in the U.S. who claim Indian ancestry say, "Cherokee." That'd be a flag. Who's heard of the Assiniboines?

Because, for the moment, they are benefiting from it.

Women are still treated as a protected class in hiring, even if they come from elite white backgrounds. They aren't part of the unprotected class of straight white males.

At some point, there will be a reckoning, but that's still a ways off.

169 I've always maintained what is sometimes considered a pretty extreme take on (actual) chattel slavery and explicit codified apartheid; these things show a complete lack of any sort of functional social contract for those getting shit on, and therefore that group has no moral or ethical obligations that might restraint efforts to remove themselves from that situation.

As a practical matter, if you're going to keep slaves or have second class citizens, you have no room to complain when they vote you off the island (of the living). Examples, see: slave revolts. Wholly unrestrained warfare.

This cuts both ways. If these people won't play nice with others, it becomes time to take our ball and go home, even if going home entails making one by kicking them out of ours.

172 "There is an unspoken but very, very powerful assumption in play here: many blacks and the entire woke left take it as foundational that there is no such thing as anti-white racism, and therefore you can behave as hatefully as you like towards whites -- and in fact should behave hatefully towards whites."

This is absolutely true. I can tell you unequivocally, from personal experience growing up in The Bronx housing projects, that I've seen far more overt racism from other blacks than from whites.

On another note, I've met people in college who had never seen a real live black person before, and the questions they asked me might have been perceived as racist. They may have come from a place of ignorance, but I've never considered them racist. Many other blacks disagreed with me on that score, so they may count that in their tally.

I thought that this was corrosive to our society 40 years ago, but if anything it's gotten even worse.

The groundwork was laid much earlier by academic leftists, but the real inflection point for normies was 9/11. Race relations started going downhill there.

"He said he was jammed up and needed help," Macias said. Macias said he was "shocked" that this high-profile lawyer who was making TV appearances at the time was in financial trouble. "I said the F word with a 'no' at the end," Macias said. He wouldn't give Avenatti the money, but said Avenatti begged him not to leave him hanging. "He said, 'Come on, player, you gotta help me out,'" Macias testified.

Yep, just like the testimony in the Edgecomb case. Edgecomb (he shot an immigration lawyer in the face) was claiming the lawyer called him a N-er more than once, and he felt he was being hunted down. After he supposedly got hit by the lawyer's wife (he was on a bike, she was in a car), wife said her husband said "What the heck?".

Bottom line, neither one was particularly credible, in that regard. But, no one else heard anything remotely close to either claim.

279 Justice Stephen Breyer made it official today, he is retiring. But he's not going to risk his seat sitting vacant and possibly subject to a Republican controlled Senate (either through the 2022 midterms or the death or incapacity of a Democrat Senator which might flip the Senate depending on the replacement). Breyer made his retirement contingent on his successor being nominated and confirmed.

So, he's not resigning if a replacement isn't confirmed before the next Congress rakes over.

I wonder if that's actually legal.

It would be fun if no replacement was nominated, and the next Congress explained to Breyer that he had official resigned, because contingent resignations aren't valid, and confirmed a replacement. Breyer can be like William O. Douglas, wandering the halls of the Supreme Court until he is kicked out.

It boils down to the following two principles, which should be spelled out in legislation:

1. No racism, full stop. You can't and shouldn't use racism to combat racism. No race should be singled out as superior or inferior to another. Period.
2. No segregation by race, full stop. We fought a war and created a movement to banish segregation. We are not going to allow it to return sanctioned by the government. Period.

Everyone who isn't a woke academic can and will get behind these two basic principles. Stop using their language and acronyms which deliberately obscure their intentions.

With advice like "Joe, it is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day.", they should have no problem screwing this up.

301 > Missouri was a horrible place to live during the Civil War. The bad blood and grudges went on for decades and decades. The effects still echo, in some ways, today.

I had a really weird experience once with a Missouri woman. We were on different software teams. We only had occasional, brief interactions. For some reason, she decided she didn't like me. From that point on, she treated me like crap. I had a mentor at the time, and he noticed the behavior. He set up a meeting with her, her boss, and himself without me knowing. In that meeting, she admitted she had no idea why she was acting that way. I hadn't done anything. She just didn't like me. Even after being called out about her behavior and even after admitting she had no reason for it, she still treated me like crap.

We moved 6 times before I got out of high school and as I did graduate my folks moved so I never had a real hometown either. We stayed with my mom's folks for a number of months when my dad got transferred to the NYC area and they were looking for a house they could afford. There was a girl who lived across the street who was my sister's of 6 at the time.

I found out a few months ago that she now lives in the same small town as me in RI. What are the odds of that happening?

I wonder if that's actually legal.

It would be fun if no replacement was nominated, and the next Congress explained to Breyer that he had official resigned, because contingent resignations aren't valid, and confirmed a replacement. Breyer can be like William O. Douglas, wandering the halls of the Supreme Court until he is kicked out.

361 The 64-year-old with congestive heart failure would score higher than the 19-year-old Hispanic.
Being non-white is equivalent to 4 decades of age, having congestive heart failure is worth 2 decades of age.

So, if I've computed this correctly:

1. An otherwise healthy 54-year-old non-white would score higher than a 64-year-old white with CHF.
2. A healthy 34-year-old non-white would score higher than a healthy 64-year-old white.
3. A healthy 16-year-old non-white would score the same as a healthy 60-year-old white. (This is done by taking the youngest in the 16-20 cohort and comparing to the oldest in the 51-60 cohort.)

If you asked a blue stater the same question, they would respond OPPRESSION based on race. To the red stater, racism can go both ways (both Archie Bunker and Fred Sanford can be racists). But to the blue stater, Archie was in a position to oppress (allegedly) and Fred was being oppressed. So, they were both equally biased, but only Archie was racist. Get it?
