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

[pknopp]

You are deflecting because you are in a trap.

I always chuckle at this kind of retort. LOL

You either have to "understand" Jesse Jackson's racism and admit all racism is "understandable"...or you have to admit no racism is justified...even yours.

I can't say I ever mentioned supporting any of it but yeah, lash out.

Tough pill to swallow either way.

I don't expect you to be honest because you're a lying piece of shit with a warped mind...but I want you to realize you've been beaten by your own argument.

Rationalizing ANY racism justifies ALL racism.

Have a good day.

LOL, rant away.

Cool.

Prove it.

Explain how Jesse Jackson saying ...

"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

...is different from the "understandable" racism you defended.

I'll wait.

Total defection without an attempt at explanation in 3...2...1...

Let's argue Jackson had a reason for his response. What is yours?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yes! Hispanics are not white. And you said they were white. I simply pointed out your error.

Hispanic is an ethnicity. Go back to high school. Your GED is not cutting it!

 

[Missourian]

Called it.

Total defection.

Just answer the question.

I can't speak for why Jackson said what he said. Call it the same. I don't care. What is your reason?

 

[Missourian]

Let's argue Jackson had a reason for his response. What is yours?

I know you can't answer...so I'll make you look stupid another way.

If Jesse Jackson's racism was "understandable", why would it not be understandable for a white man to feel the same way?

You see the hole you've dug yourself? There is no escaping it.

I've asked my question early on. No one will answer it which seems to include you. You come in with positions and demand answers but won't answer the question I first asked.

 

[Missourian]

I can't speak for why Jackson said what he said. Call it the same. I don't care. What is your reason?

Lazy and stupid. You excuse Jesse Jackson's blatant racism and your only retort is to, without an ioto of evidence, imply that I am racist.

Just admit it. You're licked. This is the best argument you have. "But, but, but YOURE A RACIST."

Quit while you're behind. You're not smart enough to extract yourself from the catch 22 your own argument created.

Better luck next time.

 

[Missourian]

LOL

I answered it.

I'm not racist.

Where do you go from there?

 

[Lastamender]

MAGA is no longer hiding their racism.

Democrats are no longer hiding the criminal connections their party thrives on.

 

[pknopp]

I answered it.

I'm not racist.

Where do you go from there?

I'm glad to hear that.

 

[pknopp]

Perhaps not. I've long condemned their actions and spending.

 

[Missourian]

I'm glad to hear that.

Now for the part you won't be glad to hear.

Opposing racism means opposing ALL racism...even the kind you "understand".

If you understand the Black racist's reason to judge all White people by the color of their skin based on his experience with his daughter's white bullies, and you understand why Jesse Jackson felt relieved when the footsteps he heard weren't made by a black man...then it's not that far of a journey to understand the position of the white racist who judges by skin color.

That's the point.

 

[pknopp]

I never said I supported it. I told him I found it counter productive. If you can't understand why the bitterness stayed with him, well..........................

If you understand the Black racist's reason to judge all White people by the color of their skin based on his experience with his daughter's white bullies,

Me and him never had a problem.

He could cook up some amazing trout. I'd catch them and he would fix them. Never had any better.

and you understand why Jesse Jackson felt relieved when the footsteps he heard weren't made by a black man...then it's not that far of a journey to understand the position of the white racist who judges by skin color.

That's the point.

I don't. I've had black men walk behind me and found no reason to be concerned.

 

[Missourian]

I don't. I've had black men walk behind me and found no reason to be concerned

...and I've had white guys walk behind me and felt concerned.

So, we've established all racism and bigotry is wrong...being judged by skin color should be condemned.

So...if for example, the Los Angeles Fire District's waiting list for White applicants is seven years, but a Black applicant gets an interview within a week, because the Los Angeles Fire District has "enough" White firefighters, you would oppose that...correct?

 

[pknopp]

...and I've had white guys walk behind me and felt concerned.

Sure. I live in WV. There are parts of Southern WV a stranger doesn't go to after dark.

So, we've established all racism and bigotry is wrong...being judged by skin color should be condemned.

So...if for example, the Los Angeles Fire District's waiting list for White applicants is seven years, but a Black applicant gets an interview within a week, because the Los Angeles Fire District has "enough" White firefighters, you would oppose that...correct?

It would depend. If the Fire District had a 20% minority population but a 2% employment rate in the fire district I would question the reason why.

I don't buy into the argument that the only reason a black gets hired is if a more qualified white was skipped over.

We know that qualified blacks have been skipped over simply because they were black.

‘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.’

Darren Beattie, a former Trump speechwriter, will be joining the U.S. State Department.

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

Never happened. Stay off the leftist kook sites.

If the Whites aren't even getting an interview for years, how can they NOT be getting passed over?
