Yet this movement must have gone deep underground because members of this pale-faced clan are incredibly difficult to track down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Following the trajectory of Hurricane Whitey as it makes landfall and gradually turns the once lush and verdant American landscape a lighter shade of pale, one can only wonder from where this force of noxious white power first arose. Or is it just a figment of the mainstream media\u2019s excitable imagination?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">America\u2019s best-known White Supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, saw its heyday in the late 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, before greatly declining in the late 1920s. Today, they have largely been shunned from polite society and are a mere shadow of their former whiteness, with membership <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/assets\/pdf\/combating-hate\/tattered-robes-state-of-kkk-2016.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>estimated<\/strong><\/span><\/a> by the ADL at less than 3,000 nationwide. Hardly a tour de force.

In early August, Fox News host Tucker Carlson <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/tucker-carlson-mocks-media-concern-about-white-supremacy-its-actually-not-a-real-problem-in-america\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>called out the hysteria<\/strong><\/span><\/a> over White supremacy, saying it was \u201ca hoax\u201d thrust upon the American public to \u201cdivide the country and keep a hold on power.\u201d The question was appropriate, yet arguably badly timed as it came just after the El Paso shooting, which so saw yet another deranged loner off his meds pen a \u2018white power\u2019 manifesto before going on a shooting spree. The media wasted no time finding connections between passages in the killer\u2019s screed, for example, his use of the phrase \u201cHispanic invasion\u201d in describing the migrants from Latin America ascending on the US border, and Donald Trump\u2019s past warnings regarding the influx of illegals. In that sense, Carlson was right to speak his mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cIf you were to assemble a list, a hierarchy of concerns, of problems this country faces, where would white supremacy be on the list,\u201d he asked. \u201cRight up there with Russia, probably.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cThis is a hoax. Just like the Russia hoax. It\u2019s a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This leads to an interesting aspect about America\u2019s so-called race problem, specifically with regards to \u2018White supremacy.\u2019 When it is discussed in the media, the emphasis is not on conspicuous incidences of racial prejudice or violence, apart from the occasional and very horrific cases of mass shootings, but rather on what some activists imagine to be cases of racist behavior. This has opened the door to some very wild interpretations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For example, did you know that if you practice yoga you are quite possibly a closet White Supremacist? In a <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/praxis\/yoga\/\">report<\/a> entitled, Yoga and the Roots of Cultural Appropriation, Michigan State University professor Shreena Gandhi, White people are perpetuating \u201cwhite supremacy and colonialism<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cThis modern day trend of cultural appropriation of yoga is a continuation of white supremacy and colonialism, maintaining the pattern of white people consuming the stuff of culture that is convenient and portable, while ignoring the well-being and liberation of the Indian people,\u201d Professor Gandhi wrote together with Lillie Wolff, a self-described \u201cwhite Jewish organizer, facilitator and healer\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Ironically, Gandi and Wolff fail to mention that millions of newly minted American citizens from foreign lands could be accused, although probably never will be, of the very same charges of \u201ccultural appropriation\u201d and \u201cconsuming the stuff of culture that is convenient and portable\u201d by voluntarily deciding to live in the United States, which has welcomed with opened arms people and races of all colors and creeds. Indeed, the fact that so many foreigners continue to flock to America in droves makes all this talk about racism and White supremacists with a weakness for yoga a bit fantastic.

Then you too could be a foaming at the mouth White supremacist, reveling in your lactose tolerance that is sometimes lacking among African Americans. Thus, America\u2019s budding White supremacists are taking great pleasure drinking cow\u2019s milk, using it as some sort of \u2018white identity\u2019 message, or so goes the disjointed argument in a New York Times\u2019 <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/10\/17\/us\/white-supremacists-science-dna.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>article<\/strong><\/span><\/a> entitled, \u2018Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed). After consuming this story the reader would almost think that local bars across the land are serving up cold white milk to patrons instead of beer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">But perhaps you are not a yoga practitioner or a regular consumer of white milk, but just an exceptionally bright white kid. Well, sorry, that \u2018privilege\u2019 now also comes with some very heavy strings attached, if delusional New York Mayor Bill De Blasio gets his way, the New York Times <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/08\/26\/nyregion\/gifted-programs-nyc-desegregation.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>reported<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">De Blasio envisions getting rid of public school programs for talented children, as they are filled \u201cmostly with white and Asian children,\u201d which of course carries ugly overtones of racism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cIf the mayor adopts the recommendations, elementary and middle schools would no longer be able to admit students based solely or largely on standardized exams or other academic prerequisites, and high schools would have diversity requirements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In other words, the incentive for bright kids to do well in school is now threatened with extinction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Perhaps what White folks should do in order to avoid any criticism or suspicion is to just stay around the neighborhood and walk the dog. Oh wait, sorry, that mundane activity is also suspect to recrimination since White dog owners use their leashed pets to \u201cstake out territory,\u201d you know, like modern day Christopher Columbus\u2019s while fraternizing with other \u201cwhite owners excluding minorities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Soon I suspect it will even be considered unfashionable to have white teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tucker Carlson: White supremacy is &quot;actually not a real problem in America.&quot; Calling white supremacy and issue is &quot;a hoax&quot; and &quot;a conspiracy theory used to divide the country&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ydzmJ0L7UI\">pic.twitter.com\/ydzmJ0L7UI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ndrew_lawrence\/status\/1158896220309512192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 7, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">So what is the motivation behind all of this incredible nonsense with regards to racism? Part of it is certainly an effort to bolster the claim that Trump supporters are nothing more than a clan of White supremacists since much of this racist propaganda was unheard of prior to 2016. With the conspiracy theory of \u2018Russiagate\u2019 completely debunked, the Liberal mainstream media, with all of its attention on the 2020 presidential election, must conflate Trump with yet another loathsome creature, and who better than the racist?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">At the same time, all this fake news about rising racism and milk-drinking White supremacists intent on walking their dogs helps to obfuscate the real problem in America which is the great class divide. As the titans of tech continue to hoard fantastic amounts of wealth, oftentimes, as with the case of Amazon and others, without paying any tax on the loot, average Americas are struggling under a mountain of inescapable debt on their homes, cars and most especially college tuition loans, which largely funded impressionable students \u2013 with heavy interest rates \u2013 to subscribe to the myth of racism in America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Liberal social justice warriors, intent on characterizing every White person as a racist or supremacist, are acting in accordance to the designs of the establishment elite, who rely on these misguided activists to focus the narrative far away from the most critical topic in the United States, which is not racism, but rather the great class divide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategic-culture.org\/news\/2019\/09\/02\/media-race-baiting-americans-with-white-supremacy-conspiracy-theories-to-hide-class-strife\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White supremacy is like Saddam\u2019s WMD, argues Robert Bridge.
