Gavin Newsom to Black Democrats: I'm Like You, I'm Low IQ and I Can't Read

That's one way to ingratiate yourself to an audience.

Why does Gavin Newsom think the best way to relate to Black people is by touting how stupid he is and that he can't read?

Isn't that insanely racist?

What makes it even worse is the way he deliberately slows his speech, as if he assumes the audience is incapable of keeping up.

Democrats, the Great Friends of the Black Race, routinely tell their friends that they're stupid and don't know basic things.

She writes about that study, which shows that white liberals "dumb down" their speech for blacks whereas white conservatives speak the same way to blacks and whites, here.

It's what a 2018 Yale study found: There is a difference between how white liberals and white conservatives talk when they talk to Black people. And that difference is this: When white liberals talk to Black people, they do something called "presenting lower competence." They literally dumb down their vocabulary, using fewer syllable words than they do when they talk to white people. And white conservatives don't do this.

"A new study suggests that white Americans who hold liberal socio-political views use language that makes them appear less competent in an effort to get along with racial minorities," the study found. "According to new research by Cydney Dupree, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Yale SOM, white liberals tend to downplay their own verbal competence in exchanges with racial minorities, compared to how other white Americans act in such exchanges."

Researchers found that Democratic candidates use fewer multi-syllable words in speeches delivered to minority audiences than they use in speeches delivered to white audiences--whereas the difference wasn't statistically significant in speeches by Republican candidates. The pattern held over decades of speeches that the researches studied.

Hilariously, they found that you have to literally tell a white progressive that a Black person is very smart ahead of time to get them to cut this out: "Initial data from follow-up studies suggest that describing a black person as highly intelligent, thus reversing the stereotype, or as already highly motivated to get along with whites, thus removing the need to prove goodwill, can reduce the likelihood that a white person will downplay their competence in their interactions with the black person."

The study proved not just that individual white progressives are racist, but that there is a system-wide failure to view Blacks as equals that is endemic to the progressive movement. Their entire woke worldview, which posits that minorities are oppressed and therein lies their virtue, is in essence racism disguised (from themselves as well as others) in an aura of self-righteousness. After all, what could be more racist than the patronizing view that Black people need to be protected from our big vocabularies?

Remember, Gavin Newsom just discovered he's dyslexic and that dyslexia will serve the same function as Joe Biden's Elder-Age Suddenly Discovered Childhood Stutter.

Hello! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did, for a change.

Sorry for the lateness, I just wanted to pretend it was still the weekend for as long as possible.
