What is scummier than an alligator? A white supremacist.
Quote: | Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Interior has gotten donations from white supremacists and endorsed them in political races.
Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), like chief of staff Steve Bannon, brings troubling ties to organized hate groups to the Republican president-elect’s inner circle, reported Fusion.
Zinke made news during his 2014 election campaign when he accepted a $500 donation from Earl Holt, head of the Council of Conservative Citizens, whose writings about “brutal black on white murders” inspired Dylann Roof, who gunned down nine black worshipers the following year in a Charleston, South Carolina, church. |

Whatever it takes to keep racism alive, right mac?
I'm sure you'd just love this class if not teaching it yourself.

University offers class on ‘The Problem of Whiteness’
December 19, 2016
A class to be taught next semester at the University of Wisconsin Madison called “The Problem of Whiteness” aims to “understand how whiteness is socially constructed and experienced in order to help dismantle white supremacy,” the course description states.
“Whites rarely or never questioned what it is to be white,” Assistant Professor Damon Sajnani, who will teach the course, told The College Fix in a telephone interview last week. “So you go through life taking it for granted without ever questioning or critically interrogating it.”
For Sajnani, one way to solve this is to offer “The Problem of Whiteness,” an analysis of what it means to be white and how to deal with it as a “problem.”
“The idea of talking about the problem of whiteness is to turn the question back to where it belongs,” he said.
One of the main goals in the class will be to understand race and identity and how it impacts lives on a daily basis, he said. One of the talking points is juxtaposing white privilege and white power, and how the two can be intertwined and similar to each other, the scholar said.
“The problem of racism is the problem of whites being racist towards blacks,” he said.
The class will also theorize what white students can do with their “whiteness” and how to mobilize their identities as a mode for social justice as opposed to racial injustices, he added.
When asked what he might say to those who oppose the course topic, Sanjani said they have no logical idea of what race actually is and how it is a political machine as well as a social construct.
“Since white supremacy was created by white people, is it not white folks who have the greatest responsibility to eradicate it?” he asks in the course description.
Sajnani told The Fix the premise of the course is to understand that race is neither biological nor cultural, but rather a social and political construct. He purports that blacks, throughout their life, constantly question what it is to be black, however “blacks did not invent racism or racial oppression.”
Naming the problem of whiteness is a play on what used to be known as the “Negro Problem” in the 20th Century, he points out.
Students will write two papers in the course. The first will be a reflection of themselves and their racial identities and how that plays into their roles in modern society. The second will be a critical engagement with the required readings.
According to the online class description, readings will include:
W.E.B. Du Bois, 1920. “The Souls of White Folks” in Dark Water
George Yancy, 2010. Look, a White!
Ta-Nehisi Coates, 2015. Between the World and Me
Damon Sajnani, 2015. “Rachel/Racial Theory: Reverse Passing in the Curious Case of Rachel Dolezal”
Tim Wise, 2016. White Lies Matter: Race, Crime, and the Politics of Fear in America
In Sajnani’s “Rachel/Racial Theory” piece, he argues “race is an ideological structure created for the purpose of global European domination. It is designed to be fixed and permanent; to reify the contingent relations of colonial subjugation into immutable identities.”
Sajnani is a self described far-left professor who said he views both Democrats and Republicans as right-wing entities.

NW--do you really not know that Trump ran--and won--by appealing to white supremacists with racist messages? Or do you just not care? |

No reply from NW. Have you ever read WEB Du Bois? Or any black histories or black literature? Maybe Soul on Ice, Raisin in the Sun, or the Autobiography of Malcolm X? Didn't think so. 140 characters is enough. |

What I do know is that any white man who beats Hillary, was going to be treated the exact same way that you are treating Trump, and that goes for your mainstream media as well. Any guilt by association that you or they could find, will be touted. I expect it to continue by all liberals involved in this BS "white wash".
And BTW, your buddy Bill is right there with you, "angry white voters".

Hopefully some day soon all you white washers will go down into the dust bin of history. |

That would be an "I don't care if I lay down with racists?" Thought so. Haven't read any black literature--or Hispanic either, I see. |

hmm did you see the agreement Trump had with Sinclare media one of the largest in the USA. They would get exclusives if they would not critique his statements... wow such a clear media bias...
hows this one for your enabled KKK types...
