Will Hurd: The GOP's only Black member of the House is retiring -- About Will, the Black Man

You missed it?

Oh, good. Muwwwaaahahahahahaaa!
:laugh:

No, I think you may agree that there are some holes in theory, or at least how some describe it. It certainly illustrates my concern that it will be misused as a "whipping post" to keep all black folks who are concerned about being label a "sellout" from straying out of lockstep with the establishment overlords.

One does not have to give up his "blackness" and can still fight for the cause without losing the personal identity and political leanings he chooses.

Most importantly, Will Hurd is walking proof that black folks can be true "liberals" (which is really libertarians/real conservatives) and still be black.

I just know the people "running the show" are going to use the term "internalized racism" to start trying to horse-whip good black folks who are not doing as they are commanded, and that ruins my evil plan to persuade black folks to (1) go to A&M (2) convert to real liberalism, (3) not automatically dismiss anything and everything from Thomas Jefferson, (even though he was a flawed and internally conflicted man)(or the other founding farther, for that matter), and (4) rule the world (muaahahahaa).

:beer:

(by the way, at some point, I would like to have a discussion on my theory that Thomas Jefferson was deliberately writing the Declaration of Independence to make way for the end of slavery. I think he had come to the point where he realized that the very evils he abhorred in tyranny and government oppression were happening at his own hand, under his own roof, and the DoI was his outlet, but another time)

Actually the theory is rather sound. These guys are misguided and dumb. You are not suffering from internalized racism by rejecting white supremacy. They don't begin to understand what that implies. Just like the claim that anti racism is anti white. Now is that supposed to mean that for you to be pro white that you're racist. Are they claiming that the default position to be white is to be racist?

There are no establishment overlords for black people and the term sellout comes with a definite description. A sellout is a person that denigrates blacks in order to gain favor with whites or as defined by institutional racism "internalization of racial oppression by the racially subordinated."

In a study named “The Psychology of Racism”, Robin Nicole Johnson points out that internalized racism entails both "conscious and unconscious acceptance of a racial hierarchy in which whites are consistently ranked above People of Color." People who suffer from internalized racism believe negative stereotypes of their own race, will adopt white standards and thinking. Doing these things mentally lets them deny that racism exists.

Internalized racism reinforces racism. Internalized racism keeps racism alive. It creates the justification for racism. This acceptance of white supremacy as the norm leads to conclusions that racism is not an problem, or that it does not exist.

So just because a black is a republican does not automatically make them a sellout or means they suffer from internalized racism. Bootney, there are things you have come to believe about blacks thay you must stop. Now let me show you a couple of examples of sellouts and internalized racism from blacks.

I'll start with one of the most famous cases of internalized racism in black American history.

“There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. ... Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs ... There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.”

Booker T. Washington

This was spoken during Jim Crow. What he said was crazy. This is a classic case of internalized racism as defined. He adopted the white belief that we should remain docile and quiet. That we must stay in our place. And that blacks were really happy in our position and the uppity ones were only trouble makers uninterested in ending the problem but only wanted to keep stirring up trouble to keep a job. Now considering what was going on all around him at that time, one has to think he was suffering from a disorder.

“I think one of the cruelest things a society can do is to take the best and the brightest young black Americans and basically say to them you simply cannot compete with the best and brightest of other races. We won’t allow you to do that. You can’t do it. You have to depend on our paternalism.”

Shelby Steele, Is White Guilt Destroying the Promise of Civil Rights?

When a black person makes a comment like this you have to ask if they are participating in the use of crack. Steele is a man who lived his first 19 years of life during Jim Crow. He went to a small college in Iowa. He opposes Affirmative Action today. I wonder did it ever cross his mind that maybe, just maybe and a little bit, that he was admitted into that school thanks to Affirmative Action? He is definetly adopting whutte claims and promoting a negative racial stereotypes of his own race.

Walter Williams is another favorite black to the white racist crowd. First off, when you are black and a guest host for Rush Limbaugh, you do not have much credibility to call yourself a representative speaker about issues in the black community. I am sure there are black conservatives and white racists who will declare how I refuse to accept anything from blacks outside of some mystical line we blacks are suppose to be towing upon command of liberal democrats. That is not what I am doing. Toe or line aside, there are some realities that blacks and other non-whites face that cannot be denied. Williams denial of reality is evident in 2 articles he posted at Townhall.com. one dated Jun 13, 2018, the second dated June 27, 2018 titled “Diversity and Inclusion Harm Pt. 1 and 2”.

“In conversations with most college officials, many CEOs, many politicians and race hustlers, it's not long before the magical words "diversity" and "inclusiveness" drop from their lips. Racial minorities are the intended targets of this sociological largesse, but women are included, as well. This obsession with diversity and inclusion is in the process of leading the nation to decline in a number of areas..”

Williams is a black man who is a professor at a private majority white univcrsity. Without a program of diversity and inclusion he would not have that job. Notice the pattern?

More later.
Hurd couldn't cut it, its called "thinning the hurd" (see what I did there?). Williams is right about diversity and inclusiveness creating decline-and even worse, incompetence.

WIlliams is an idiot. Hurd can cut it, he just got tired of the bullshit. Trump is killing the republican party.
I like Williams-I'm going to google him. Hurd is running full speed toward the dustpan of history. I do agree with you that Trump is killing the Republican party, and not a moment too soon.

Walter Williams is an idiot. Plain and simple.
"The uninformed will blame today’s chaos on discrimination and poverty. That doesn’t even pass the smell test, unless one wants to argue that historically there was less racial discrimination and poverty than today." He sounds on target to me.
