Snopes: Trump appointee said 'competent white men' must be in charge for 'things to work'

Merit, not color...

‘U.S. State Department hire Darren Beattie wrote on X: "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men."

In February 2025, news reports revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump's new Secretary of State Marco Rubio was appointing Darren Beattie to a key post in the State Department. Beattie was formerly a speechwriter during the first Trump administration and will be appointed to the role of undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs.’

And racists such as Trump and Beattie are liars, such as the lie that there’s a ‘national ideology’ hostile to white men.

No surprise there.

MAGA is no longer hiding their racism.

Truth is not racist.

Just look a t any major American city run by a black mayor(s).

Then listen to any member of the Congressional black caucus.

Then look at Zimbabwe (just one example among many).

That ain't racist, them's the facts.

Nope.

And like Trump-the-Divider who mentions Black History Month, yet demanded no funds get spent honoring of recognizing Black History...

They divide Americans appealing to their worse angels -- I've talked to minorities going on and on about DEI and males in sports, while losing sight of "screw your Black History"

The culture war crap has always been about dividing people. Peeling away factions of the left or liberals or Democratic party with wars on stupid shit. It's all so cynical.

I don't agree with what the guy said, but how is this any different than the previous administration purposely excluding white men because of their race and gender? We know for a fact that the Obama Administration turned away qualified air traffic controllers because they were white men. Is that not also racism?

No, it's not. It's called revenge for slavery.

What have blacks done for this country besides bring its crime up, its citizens down, and cause division? If every last one of them would go back to the Africa they enjoy mentioning so much whenever they mention their race, this country would be a much better place. Take them, their baby mommas, their crime, their dropouts and their drug addicts and leave. Stats clearly show the rate of violent crime in this country would drop in HALF without negros.

White bringing in death with Fentanyl

It's not whites bringing in Fentanyl, it's Mexicans via Chinese. More whites DIE FROM IT than bring it in.

It requires a very insecure, deluded christian man to fantasize that he is the victim of discrimination in a nation where the Christian religion, the white race, and the male gender are overwhelmingly dominant in politics, the corporate sector, sports, media, and private wealth.

Well, so much for the impartiality of Snopes!

‘U.S. State Department hire Darren Beattie wrote on X: "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.

According to Clay, he would hire incompetent black men then; oh wait, isn't that what Democrats have been doing for 30 years?

And racists such as Trump and Beattie are liars, such as the lie that there’s a ‘national ideology’ hostile to white men.

Wow, the truth really triggered a nerve in you!

You don’t understand the twisted thinking of the liberal Democrat that says blacks cannot be racists.

Blacks can be racist.

I worked with an older black man that admitted to being racist. I told him I found that to be counter productive. He then told me this story.

His daughter integrated the local schools. She was in the 2nd grade. He told me how he went to the school everyday at lunch to have lunch with her. None of the other kids would have anything to do with her. He would hear the names she would be called.

I understood.

What's your excuse?

are you saying its OK to be a racist if you have an excuse??

 

[pknopp]

are you saying racism is OK if you have an excuse??

I'm saying it is understandable under certain conditions. If what had been done to that mans daughter had been done to mine, I doubt I would get over it.

Whats your excuse?
