LOL! Some tRump-supporting very fine people have to pay up bigly! A very bad day for your fellow White Supremacists, but a good day for America!

The Left runs a great race con. Too bad for you that people with "reasonable doubts" aren't fooled.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Reality isn't a con. The Right is trying to con the rest of us, but it isn't working. The White Supremacist Kyle Rittenhouse walking free after murdering two people notwithstanding.

Thersites said...

You're the white supremacist Dervy, not Kyle Rittenhouse.

This discourse of the universal describes a tautological spiral. It is held by the species that considers itself superior to all others and within this species by a minority that considers itself the holder of moral and universal ends forming a veritable democratic feudality.

You're universalist "disavowed racism" is hilarious...

And, of course, the ideal form of ideology of this global capitalism is multiculturalism, the attitude which, from a kind of empty global position, treats each local culture the way the colonizer treats colonized people—as ‘natives’ whose mores are to be carefully studied and ‘respected’. That is to say, the relationship between traditional imperialist colonialism and global capitalist self-colonization is exactly the same as the relationship between Western cultural imperialism and multiculturalism: in the same way that global capitalism involves the paradox of colonization without the colonizing Nation-State metropole, multiculturalism involves patronizing Eurocentrist distance and/or respect for local cultures without roots in one’s own particular culture. In other words, multiculturalism is a disavowed, inverted, self-referential form of racism, a ‘racism with a distance’—it ‘respects’ the Other’s identity, conceiving the Other as a self-enclosed ‘authentic’ community towards which he, the multiculturalist, maintains a distance rendered possible by his privileged universal position. Multiculturalism is a racism which empties its own position of all positive content (the multiculturalist is not a direct racist, he doesn’t oppose to the Other the particular values of his own culture), but nonetheless retains this position as; the privileged empty point of universality from which one is able to appreciate (and depreciate) properly other particular cultures—the multiculturalist respect for the Other’s specificity is the very form of asserting one’s; own superiority. - Slavoj Zizek

No.

DeNile.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

∆∆ illiterate who doesn't know how to spell "denial" ∆∆

And, yes, the core of your beliefs rests upon denial.

Joe Conservative said...

DeNile is also a river in Egypt, one you can't seem to pull yourself out of.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

It isn't. The river is The Nile, not "DeNile".

Joe Conservative said...

Now you're just race hating on ebonics...
