Time to push back on the left’s white fear narrative

&NewLine;<p>The Democratic Party has fully embraced the left’s theory that America is rife with racism – AND that it is predicated on a fear among white folks that we are losing power as America evolves into what is described in the oxymoronic &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;minority majority” nation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In an attempt to pump credibility into their bogus theory&comma; progressives create a nation divided into two competing societies – whites and people of color&period;&nbsp&semi; P-O-C is a relatively new demographic that includes ALMOST anyone who is not white European&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The creators of &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;identity politics” ironically obliterate all the meaningful distinctions between Africans&comma; Caribbean Islanders&comma; Latins&comma; Asians&comma; Native Americans&comma; Indians&comma; Middle Easterners&comma; Pacific Islanders&comma; and others – and all the subordinate ethnicities within each of those demographics&period;&nbsp&semi; No more Cubans&comma; Puerto Ricans&comma; Mexicans&comma; Peruvians&comma; etc&period;&nbsp&semi; No more Chinese&period; Japanese&comma; Vietnamese&comma; Cambodians&comma; etc&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In fact&comma; there are no more Brits&comma; Frenchmen&comma; Italians&comma; Lithuanians&comma; or Germans in the world of progressive ideology&period;&nbsp&semi; There are only homogenized whites and an amalgam of … people-of-color&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The very foundation of the people-of-color theory is flawed factually&comma; biologically and culturally&period;&nbsp&semi; It simply fails to recognize and respect the all-important ethnic distinctions and traditions&period;&nbsp&semi; People tend to take pride in their ethnic culture – those distinctions in language&comma; food&comma; dress&comma; music&comma; religion&comma; art&comma; architecture and customs&period; &nbsp&semi; Progressives want no part of that&period;&nbsp&semi; Their political world is black and white – or more accurately people-of-color and white&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The progressive theory suffers even further from the fact that they cannot define &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;white&period;” &nbsp&semi; While all Mexicans are considered by progressives to be people of color&comma; that population is divided between indigenous Mexicans and white Mexicans&period;&nbsp&semi; Most Mexicans consider themselves to be white&comma; even indigenous Mexicans – and so does the United States Census Bureau&period;&nbsp&semi; Middle easterners lean to being white – especially when compared to sub-Saharan Africans&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Progressives argue that the opposition to their big-government authoritarian policies is based on the fear that the growing minority population will soon be majority-minority&period;&nbsp&semi; There are two reasons that the alleged fear is nothing more than a self-serving political scaremongering narrative&period;&nbsp&semi; Outside of a very few nutty white supremacists on the fringe&comma; most white folks do not worry about America becoming a minority-majority nation because most white folks are not racially intolerant&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The second reason has to do with the statistics&period;&nbsp&semi; In advancing their bogus theory&comma; progressives do not like to look at the statistics&period;&nbsp&semi; According to the 2020 census&comma; the American people are 60 percent white&comma;&nbsp&semi; &lpar;76 percent with white Hispanic&rpar;&comma; 19 percent Latin &lpar;including white&rpar;&comma; 13 percent black&comma; 6 percent Asian and small percentages of others&period;&nbsp&semi; Just on that basis alone&comma; America will have a white majority for many years to come&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It is not a question of some sort of prejudicial white privilege&comma; but merely a question of numbers&period;&nbsp&semi; In fact&comma; the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;white privilege” subtext is also flawed&period;&nbsp&semi; While white Americans have long represented the majority&comma; those same white folks have supported immigration – making America a uniquely tolerant land of immigrants&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Whites were the backbone in the successful fights for minority rights&period;&nbsp&semi; The Civil Rights bills of 1956&comma; 1960&comma; 1964 and 1965 were passed by Congress when there were very few minority members&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>White presidents and legislators have created unique programs that established &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;minority privilege” in hiring&comma; college admissions&comma; business loans&comma; etc&period;&nbsp&semi; Whites ended slavery and the Democrats’ Jim Crow laws and black oppression in the south&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Whites elect our leaders from virtually every ethnic group – even a President of the United States&period;&nbsp&semi; Does that sound like people are afraid of seeing power flow to people of other backgrounds&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Of course&comma; there are people who harbor prejudices of all kinds – and there are white supremacists&period;&nbsp&semi; But there is also racial prejudice within and among minority groups&period;&nbsp&semi; But their real influence is minuscule&period;&nbsp&semi; And yes&comma; we have the residual of INSTITUTIONAL racism – mostly found in our large&comma; segregated cities long controlled by archaic Democrat political machines&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The oppression of urban blacks and Hispanics has racist outcomes based on the ethnicity of the victims&comma; even when the leaders or of the same racial background&period;&nbsp&semi; How does that happen&quest;&nbsp&semi; That oppression of urban blacks by black administrations exists because the old racist structure and policies is also beneficial to black officials&period;&nbsp&semi; In those cases&comma; racial oppression is based on the maintenance of power&comma; profit and prestige&period;&nbsp&semi; It is a matter of status that might be compared to the so-called &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;house Negroes” and the black slave-owners in the days of slavery&period; Looking at the unchanging conditions in our segregated communities&comma; it should be obvious that black administrations have not benefited the folks in the &OpenCurlyQuote;hood&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>As a white conservative &lpar;except that one percent Nigerian blood my DNA test revealed&rpar;&comma; I have no problem with leaders of a different ethnicity than me&period;&nbsp&semi; Unlike the modern progressives&comma; I enjoy the great mosaic of the many cultures&period; I love getting involved with people unlike me&period; I like to experience the variety of foods&comma; music&comma; religion&comma; dance and customs – especially the foods&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>As a conservative&comma; I see all people as equal in law and Divine creation&period;&nbsp&semi; I like the diversity of America&period;&nbsp&semi; And I am not only okay with seeing … shall we say … people-of-color take on roles of leadership&period;&nbsp&semi; In fact&comma; I have often supported such folks their ambitions&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Now … I will tell you what I do fear&period;&nbsp&semi; That is people – white or of color – who want to use their leadership positions to transform America into a nation with a top-down form of governance – in which an elitist class in Washington takes more and more freedom from our states and our local governments&comma; and from we the people&period;&nbsp&semi; I fear the takeover by progressives of any and every color&period;&nbsp&semi; And I align with conservatives of any and every color&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>I would rather see conservatives of every color in office … in corporate board rooms … in any position of power … than have some arrogant elitist white progressives rule over me&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>While progressives play to … promote … and provoke racial divisiveness&comma; that is not what is happening among the populace in general&period;&nbsp&semi; Time to put that theory that whites cringing in fear over the growth in minority numbers and power in the trash from whence it came&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
