Regime-Approved Racist Charles Blow: Now That Hispanics Are Anti-Black Too, We're Seeing White Supremacy Becoming Lite Supremacy

This sounds like a Millennial joke: White supremacy more like lite supremacy amirite

But this noxious Diversity Hire means it seriously.

It is a theory that worries me and that I have written about: that with the browning of America, white supremacy could simply be replaced by -- or buffeted by -- a form of "lite" supremacy, in which fairer-skin people perpetuate a modified anti-Blackness rather than eliminating it.

...

Instead of allying with other disadvantaged groups, they diminished them. Their discussion was anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, anti-Jewish.

They were doing the work of white supremacy. And not because they see white power as one and the same as their own. At one point in the recording, while discussing whether the Council member Mark Ridley-Thomas, who is Black, will continue to be paid after his indictment on corruption charges, Martinez says, "It's not us. It's the white members on this Council that will [expletive] you in a heartbeat."

There are far too many black "writers" paid to write about nothing but race. What happens when your only stock-in-trade is racism? What happens when your only subject of expertise is What Color My Skin Is? Well, when you've literally got nothing going except stirring up racial controversies, that's what you're going to do for your two columns per week.

There are a good number of black writers whose main focus isn't race. John McWhorter is a linguist. Thomas Sowell, obviously, is an economist, and a writer on general political philosophy. Glenn Loury is another economist and Jason Whitlock is largely a sports journalist with interests in faith and culture.

Any time there's a specifically black issue that needs commentary by a black writer, any of these guys can provide it. If needed. If they feel they have something to contribute.

But they don't have to. It's not their only hustle.

In between our regularly scheduled race paroxysms, they can write about the other subjects they're experts in. They don't have to contrive Race Controversies twice per week just to keep their paychecks coming.

Charles M. Blow does. So do almost all of the black writers hired by leftwing outlets. They're Black Writers Paid To Be Experts In Being Black. Most of the black writers who are writers in fields of expertise other than Being Black are, get this, conservative.

John McWhorter is an exception, being a pretty dopey corporate-style liberal as far as politics,* but he's almost "right wing" compared to the really toxic far-left racial arsonists employed by most leftwing outlets as their Representative of What Blacks Think.

Oh, quick correction: Charles M. Blow only writes about his expertise in Being Black in half his columns.

For the other half, he writes about his expertise in Being Queer.

* His book Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue about the evolution of the English language is good and lots of fun, written for a lay audience, not an academic one.

I mean he's annoying when he talks about politics but his stuff about language is good.
