Matt Gaetz: Why Did Representative Jackie Speier Make an Issue of My Race and Sex in Sneering That I'm a "White Man." I Myself Don't Casually Denigrate People as "White Woman" or "Minority Woman." Is That How We're All Rolling Now?

Well, you know, that quote is not in quotes because I'm paraphrasing and extending his remarks.

But this is something that must be hit constantly.

We have witnessed a re-imposition of a New Jim Crow, this time with new targets. But still Jim Crow -- assigning people a lower social and legal status on the basis of their race.

The left has fought to achieve this "victory," and I have to say the right has been almost silent about it.

I don't blame the right entirely for that. I understand why they duck the issue and pretend it's not happening -- because to even object on behalf of the demonized White People that their being treated unfairly and yes, they're being treated in a racist way, itself will get you attacked as a supposed "racist."

Yes, all of those racists who say "You should not attack people based on their race," and who criticize racists who are attacking people based on race and other inherent traits like sex.

Whatever reasons people have had to pretend away this problem -- which is no longer a growing problem, but a fully matured one -- it is time to stop pretending it away and start confronting it.

For all the fear of being branded "Alt-Right" -- let me ask this question. If people on the right continue to mouth the anti-racist platitudes as the left demands of them, but also make a special exception for White people (and men, and Christians), who are not protected by rules against racism (or any kind of -ism) and in fact who are socially-approved targets of racial attack -- what do you imagine the effect will be on the people targeted in this manner?

Do you think they will join the left in declaring "racism and sexism and other -ist attacks on inherent traits are terrible, except when directed towards white people, men, Christians, and straight people"?

Or do you think they will begin to think that this whole "anti-"racism effort is in fact a barely-disguised system of highly-developed racism and therefore reject the whole concept?

People do not suffer long under obviously, blatantly corrupt and racist regimes deployed to denigrate them and reduce them.

Failing to confront obvious racism from the left -- even if it is of the media-approved anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian, and anti-straight "popular" and "good" forms of bigoted denigration -- will actually result in more recruits to this "Alt-Right" our "conservative" media is always preoccupied about.

Almost everyone agreed with the notion that we should be against "white supremacy." But the fight against white supremacy -- and bear in mind, as Derek Hunter noted in his must-catch podcast, by even the SPLC's own inflated estimations, the number of KKK members in America today is less than the average attendance at a WNBA game -- seems to have been used as cover to start fighting for a positive affirmation of inherent white inferiority.

So to those on both the left and right who worry all day about "rising White Supremacy" and the alt-right:

When the only two options presented to a white teenaged boy is to believe in white supremacy or the liberal-promoted, conservative-tolerated doctrine of white inferiority, which do you think the average white teenaged boy is going to choose?

That is the binary choice we are making when we permit -- and tacitly endorse, by never daring to challenge it -- the left to mutate a supposedly anti- racist platform into one which is extremely and overtly racist and a platform which, unlike the KKK's or white supremacists', actually has the acceptance and at least the soft backing of almost all the major institutions in the country, including the media organs of the supposed right.

Is it impolite to say that whites should be covered by the rules against overt racism too, if they are to continue to be expected to buy into them?

People are still being polite now, but how much longer, realistically, do you think people are going to support a regime of racial (and sexual, and religious) denigration aimed at them? How enthusiastic do you expect the people targeted by this system of Socially Approved and Institutionally Enforced Bigotries?

Is it too "extreme" to ask about this? Would it upset Corporate Donors too terribly to even mention it?

Since the Twitter Friends Club is in constant friendly communication with their liberal twitter media friends, could they trouble themselves to perhaps mention this to their liberal twitter friends? And maybe suggest that the leftist media start "patrolling its own" for such constant denigrations?

Maybe, you know, mention it in one of your many, many conversations with Vox's reporter on "The GOP and White Nationalism" Jane Coaston?
