Zone1 The Right Wing Race Hustle

[Lisa558]

My theory, IM2 is a single white male who loves trolling people in his mother's basement while snaking on Cheetos. You can't be this ignorant and illogical and be serious. So he's either a huge troll and just loves arguing and or mentally ill. I suppose both could be an option too.

Naaa….he’s black, and one of the worst examples of how racist some of them are.

It's like a cross, or perhaps even cloves, to a vampire.

Recoil in horror wherever the truth reveals itself.

"The Atlantic" is "truth" to Leftists, a.k.a. pravda.

To conservatives and Rightist recoil in disgust at the lies and distortions presented as false truth = "false news".

How the Right’s Rules of Rhetoric Create Racial Provocateurs

One of our nation’s most important religious, cultural, and political projects is creating and sustaining a robust and just public policy aimed at repairing the harm inflicted by 345 years of legal racial oppression in the United States. That’s the span of time between 1619, when the first African slaves arrived on American shores, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which (mostly) banned invidious discrimination in employment, education, and public accommodations.

I use the term right-wing rather than conservative for a reason. This should be the subject of a separate essay, but the American right is in a state of profound ideological flux, with huge segments of the right explicitly rejecting the Reaganite model that shaped conservatism for decades. They reject commitments to more limited government and to free trade, they're more skeptical of supporting civil liberties, and they are deeply suspicious of America’s global military alliances.

The disparate elements of the new right are fundamentally united by a single, overriding purpose. They are anti-left. They’re rooted in deep and abiding animosity. These are the Americans who fly Trump flags not in spite of his manner but in large part because of his disposition. He fights.

As a result, much of the new right operates under a set of rhetorical rules of engagement that become particularly toxic when applied to race. First, making your opponents angry (“triggering the libs”) isn’t an unfortunate side effect or consequence of good-faith engagement over tough issues, but rather one of the central goals of your communication. You want to cause an angry reaction.

In fact, the very existence of progressive anger is a sign that you’ve hit your mark. You’ve said things that “everyone is afraid to say.” You’ve defied cancel culture, and the very fact that you’re “receiving flak” means you’re “over the target.”

Anti-anti-racism can look a lot like … racism

This is the modern right wing race hustle. It is why we cannot move forward or get beyond race. This tactic stops honest conversations and turns them into fights. We see that here and in many other forums. Unless this stops we won't get beyond race to the colorblind nation some here claim they want to see. In order for that to happen, rght wing whites are going to have to admit to continued wrongdoing and admit to the damage created by policies in the past that they have indeed benefitted from.

WOuld you stop, you bigot and racist.
If you see something wrong, must you always bring color and politics into it. It is as if you post just to find some hate targets to dump on
STOP:

The right only reads and listens to lies and distortions.

We see all kinds of examples here of people who have fallen for the white right wing race hustle.
