Adolf Hitler would be impressed by this guy


The words below from Williams' speech could easily have been spoken by Adolf Hitler. Just change the word "whiteness" to "Jewishness." It is the exact same racist sentiment that the National Socialists (Nazi's) had toward the Jews. A racism of resentment that ended up with millions killed. Just because Jesse Williams is the member of a minority does not excuse such disgusting, vile, racist filth.


"We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo, and we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil – black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.

There's not a snowball's chance in hell of reaching a mind so incredibly ignorant of history as yours. But I'll take a wild shot anyway.

The paragraph you quote is demanding that the United States of America finally END 400 years of institutionalized and racialized violence against minorities.

The National Socialist were calling FOR racialized violence against minorities.

So, in other words, he is calling for America itself to stop COMMITTING race-based violence against it's minority populations, BECAUSE it's very much like Germany's National Socialists did to their minority population.

Your interpretation is absolutely perfectly bass-ackwards.

The quote I write about is not about violence. It is about the accusation of cultural appropriation. It is the exact same racist sentiment the Nazis used against the Jews. IT IS PURE RACISM.

The German composer Richard Wagner wrote a pamphlet called "Jewishness in Music." It was exactly the same argument used by Williams in his quote. He accused the Jews of stealing German genius and turning it into money for themselves.

German racism was a racism of RESENTMENT. They felt that they were being used, manipulated and subjugated by the Jews who they claimed were a different race. The only difference between Williams and a Nazi is that the Nazi's were the majority in Germany.

But just because Williams is a member of a minority group does not excuse vile, ignorant, hateful, racist thinking.

You're the one who isn't getting it.

The quote I write about is not about violence

The single most foundational purpose behind creating "races" and "racism" in the first place was, without question, to justify racial VIOLENCE. So there's no exceptions. Ever! It's THE THING that racism is and does!

So, the incredibly simple yardstick to apply in ANY seemingly racially questionable situation is, "are these people either advocating or calling for violence against others based on race"? It's literally that simple! Racism and racial violence are utterly inseparable!

Now...I've repeatedly told YOU (in what a normal person would consider absolutely no uncertain terms) that Mr. Williams and the BLM movement are explicitly demanding AN END to one thing, and one thing only. Long term violence, that has been very, very specifically predicated on race.

So any further twisting of that supposedly simple equation and simple reality into Mr. Williams and BLM, instead CALLING FOR racial violence is simply irrational. Because, one final time, there is no other type of racism. It either calls people to racial violence or it's not racism. Period.

So, how on Earth does telling people to STOP racial violence (aka racism), instead become evidence OF racial violence (aka racism)???

The psychological disconnect in that incredibly strange leap from reality is perversely fascinating. Because it's hard to tell if it should be considered really funny or really sad.

Well you lose me at your first sentence. People who are racist think that one race is superior and/or inferior to another, which is a lie. It would seem to me that that the racism which was directed toward blacks and which said that blacks were inferior was primarily used as an excuse to subjugate them and force them to work as slaves with no pay, etc. I don't think violence is "foundational" to that kind of racism but rather money and economics.

Hitler actually thought that Jews were superior and more powerful. Williams also thinks that whites are more powerful. This is the racism of resentment. This is the racism of people who actually feel they are inferior. This is the racism that often ends up in violence. And in Hitler's case a disgrace to all humanity.

Psssst.

You're so twisted that somehow you can't comprehend that "kidnapping" millions of people, and "forcing" them to do things (under constant threat of torture and death) was, above all else, an individual act of hideous violence against every single one of those living, breathing human beings.

wow.

In the midst of the process of convincing you that you're supposedly white, I think somebody broke your basic humanity.
