America's hopeless "color line".

AMERICAN FLAGTake it away Chauncey DeVega:

"2015 was a whirlwind year, full of miserable happenings and scant hope for those of us who write about and study the color line in America.
 
The Republican Party finally surrendered to the nativism, racism and xenophobia that it nurtured among its base for decades. This toxic mix birthed the ascendance of the proto-fascist Know Nothing Donald Trump.

Freddie Gray, Laquan McDonald and so many other black and brown people had their lives stolen from them by America’s out of control, hyper-violent, militarized, racist police.
The right-wing news/entertainment complex continued to weaponize its followers. Dylann Roof followed through on his programming and killed nine black Americans after they welcomed him into the fellowship of their church community. Robert Dear also heard the drumbeat of hatred and lies turned into truths by Fox News and Republican presidential candidates such as Carly Fiorina when he killed three people at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado.

The old combination of guns, racism and toxic white masculinity was lethal in 2015. There is no reason to believe that it will be sated in the years to come.

Bill Cosby, once “America’s Dad” and exemplar of “black respectability politics,” was revealed to be a likely sex predator/serial rapist.

President Barack Obama continued to face strident opposition from Republicans. America’s first black president is entering the twilight year of his two terms in office with the lesson now fully reinforced that “hope and change” was beaten back by old fashioned racial bigotry and white racial resentment. For too large a swath of white America, a black man who is president of the United States is illegitimate: his policies, however reasonable, are to be rejected as dead on arrival.
There is an ugly irony in how America’s first black president, the most powerful person in the world, is in many ways a 21st century Dred Scott, the latter a man deemed by the United States Supreme Court in 1857 as having “no rights which the white man is bound to respect.”

For those of us who study race and politics during a time when white supremacy is resurgent, American empire is in decline, and the inhumanity of neoliberalism is accepted as the natural order of things, it is easy to surrender to racial battle fatigue. To resist this impulse, a person must develop mental and emotional armor. Ultimately, if the worst of human behavior is your object of study, it is easy to become cynical, to no longer be surprised.

Even by those low standards and expectations, the de facto street execution of a 12-year-old black child named Tamir Rice by an incompetent and emotionally unstable white Cleveland police officer, and his subsequent exoneration for such a foul and wicked act, shocked me.

However, the response by conservatives–in the news media, online forums and by at least one of the 2016 Republican presidential candidates–to the killing of Tamir Rice is potentially even more disturbing.

What should be a source of collective outrage and sadness has instead been transformed into an opportunity to lecture black people about “personal responsibility,” a lightning rod for virulent anti-black racism, a showcase for how white racial paranoic thinking always blames the black victim for his or her unjust killing by the State, as well as one more chances to make excuses for a broken American criminal justice system that enables police murder, abuse and violence against people of color, the poor, the mentally ill and other groups marked as the “disposable” Other.

For example, the comment sections at the website Cleveland.com (which is a news aggregator that also features content from the newspaper The Plain Dealer) were so infested with racism and hate speech against Tamir Rice that the site administrators deactivated them at the end of November.
Cleveland.com explained its decision as follows:
So why, a lot of you have asked, have we chosen to turn off all comments on stories about Tamir Rice?  
The simple answer is that we don’t fancy our website as a place of hate, and the Tamir Rice story has been a magnet for haters.  
We tried to maintain the conversation. The Tamir Rice case offers lessons for Greater Cleveland, and hashing out those lessons in an online community forum could be a healthy exercise. A lot of people firmly believe the police broke the law when they shot Tamir, but others feel just as strongly that the shooting was justified. Passions are strong, and because our comments section could provide a place for venting, we allowed comments on Tamir stories for months. We enlisted a small army on our staff to monitor the comments and delete any that violated our standards.  
The trouble was that we couldn’t keep up. Just about every piece we published about Tamir immediately became a cesspool of hateful, inflammatory or hostile comments. Rather than discuss the facts of the case, many commenters debased the conversation with racist invective. Or they made absurd statements about the clothing and appearance of people involved in the story. Or they attacked each other for having contrasting viewpoints. In many cases, well over half of the comments on Tamir stories broke our rules and had to be deleted.  
We ultimately decided that the comments sections of Tamir stories, overrun as they were by wickedness, were not contributing to the needed conversation. In early October, we reluctantly and finally decided to close down the comments on any news story about Tamir..." [More]

DeVega  goes on to talk about the rise of racism in America and the resurgence of white supremacy while the American empire continues to decline.

The state killing of Tamir Rice is just one example of many. Sadly, these types of incidents that continue to divide along racial lines have been the norm and not the exception since the election of Barack Obama.

I suppose we could blame the conservative media and their huge echo chamber, but I suspect that things would be this way if there was no FOX VIEWS and Drudge Reports. What is driving the America's racial divide is the fear in some quarters of the new America that is emerging and the thought that a person of color could actually lead it, again.

Like DeVega, I don't see the color lines in America getting any closer, and I certainly don't see anyone trying to bridge it.

Folks in the majority hate to hear about racism and racial issues because they believe in their hearts that racism no longer exists. And if they didn't, they would have the right-wing media to tell them that it really doesn't.

On the other hand, folks in the minority population see race relations getting worse,  and they believe in their hearts that white resentment and angst is only going to increase as the country becomes more diverse.

Of course we both can't be right.  Fortunately, though,  I think events in the coming years will show us all who is.

    I honestly haven't noticed any difference in my day to day relationships with minority neighbors, coworkers, friends at all. Have you seen a big change personally with your white inner circle?

    Who are these people you speak of? News reporters, journalists, or perhaps race baiters who make a living off of stirring the shit for the weak minded racists with sensationalized stories?

    1. Is it possible that you are just unaware of how your minority coworkers neighbors and friends really feel? Is it possible that they just don't feel comfortable discussing these issues with you? I am deeply disturbed and saddened by these events but I don't go to my White friends and coworkers etc to vent. I know that even my White friends wouldn't not truly understand or be able to empathize with how I'm feeling. Like many minorities I manage to keep White friends and associates by NOT discussing racial and political topics. I know they are good people, however their place in life and in society prevents them from being able to see my perspective. Perhaps that is the same with your minority friends neighbors and coworkers.

    Well, it certainly is a complex subject, which is why there are those of us who study it, so it is quite possible for both sides to be right. But let's not lose sight that electing (and re-electing) a black President is a quantum leap in the right direction. And a black man is actually receiving serious consideration (although apparently waning) in the upcoming election is also probably indicative of something, what exactly I'll defer to said scholars.

    "On the other hand, folks in the minority population see race relations getting worse, and they believe in their hearts that white resentment and angst is only going to increase as the country becomes more diverse."

    But that's the whole point of the diversity project - increasing resentment and angst. Divided, scared people with little in common with their neighbors are much easier to control.

    "Multi-culturalism" is and always has been a recipe for destroying the majority culture. As communities become more diverse, they become less trusting, less communal places.

    Blacks and whites had a chance to reconcile on their own, but this demographic tidal wave sweeping across the country is going to lead to chaos and bloodshed.

    "To answer this question, we consider how climate change is constructed by professional engineers and geoscientists in the province of Alberta, Canada. We begin by describing our research context and the strategic importance of Canadian oil worldwide, to the economy of Canada, and the province of Alberta. We outline the influential role of engineers and geoscientists within this industry, which allows them to affect national and international policy. Then, we describe our research design and methods."

    http://oss.sagepub.com/content/33/11/1477.full

    Continued from the other topic. An idiot posted a Forbes article written by a Heartland Institute employee that stated that a majority of "scientists" are skeptical of global warming. As is typical of simpleminded conservatives they grab an article written by a non-scientists with an inherent bias who does not disclose that the "scientists" polled were all from Alberta, Canada and all had interests in the oil industry as shown by the quote from the actual survey. Why was this information not disclosed in the Forbes article? Well, more than likely the author Mr. Taylor who has no training in atmospheric science found an article he thought supported his views and published it and simpleminded dunces would never read the actual survey just cut and paste. It's soooooo easy to dupe conservatives. They are stoooopid.

  17. The willful dishonesty in sophist whining pieces like this never ceases to amaze. "Freddie Gray, Laquan McDonald and so many other black and brown people had their lives stolen from them by America’s out of control, hyper-violent, militarized, racist police."

    So, according to this fuckwit of a "writer," no white people were actual victims of police and had their lives stolen? It only happens to black and brown people, ey?

    It's this sort of willful dishonesty and begging to be a victim that drives people to be racists every bit as much as American involvement drives more Muslims to be terrorists. Y'all think you're bringing important issues to light, but all you're doing is purposefully polarizing everyone along these same color lines you pretend are the fault of whitey by specifically naming whitey the enemy of all non-whites. You race-baiting hucksters will reap what you sow.

    So, it is what it is. Everyone, say it with me: World Ends, Black People Most Affected.

    Just imagine an America where these white people were even 1/1000th as racist or violent as you pretend they are so you can get your racist digs in while justifying your hatred. You really think a white racist America would let BLM and Mizzou and Chicago and the suchlike stand? lol Y'all know you're talking shit; y'all know that such a minuscule percentage of the nation still harbors racist animosity that you're perfectly safe to spout this shit wherever you so choose, and will never have to face repercussions for it. But don't get too carried away with it. There's only so long 200,000,000 people will be called racists before they finally say, "Fuck it; they already think we're racists..."

    The real motive behind promoting racism for the establishment conservatives might be to capitalize on the Southern Strategy for economic reasons. Divide and conquer to dupe people into voting against their own economic interests. The a lot of real motive for spreading Islamophobia is probably to steal oil and sell military supplies. To dupe the gullible into sending their kids off to die for oil pipelines and such.

    Baltimore is 65% black. The mayor is black, the prosecutor is black, and the chief of police was black. Of the six officers charged, half are black. The only officer charged with murder is black. So how and WHY does this author imply it is white, racist police killing innocent blacks?

    I'm not the person you are addressing, PC, but I agree with you that people aren't driven to be racist by writers or TV shows or news stories. Racists tend to only read articles or listen to other people that confirm their hatred and belief in the worst in 'others'. With no way to reach closed minds there is no hope for change is there?

    How many poor whites have denied Blacks entrance to college?

If you happen upon a website that is against abusing animals I guess some may think it's fair to ask why they're also not against human abuse because humans are being abused too. While that line of reasoning may seem appropriate one has to assume the persons against animal abuse aren't also doing something to help stop human abuse when in reality they very well may be doing something. One also has to give that person the freedom to pick and choose what issues they care about and want to spend their time trying to solve.

He is explicitly implying that this is only a problem for minorities, not for white people. That's not my inference; that's his plain-as-day implication. It's right there in the fucking words.

    I honestly don't mind people busting my balls here. I've responded to about one out of 50 in these past five months or so, just laughing when someone drops my name on the screen with some stupid goading gripe. But you're treating me like I'm a little kid susceptible to their parents' religion or like I don't live in the fucking world or know which end of an ace is up.

    The shit's there in literal black and white, and I know for a fucking fact that were this speaking about black issues or Muslim, etc, the Field hands would be breaking this guy's balls too for creating a model of reality that is objectively inaccurate.

    And I didn't even get into the fact this fuckwit y'all are in here defending is literally blaming Fox News for MURDERS in the same paragraph.

    This writer is a fucking lunatic. Paints the entire Republican party as racists, paints America's police as a whole as racists, blames Fox for murders, gives Obama an out by claiming that he couldn't change anything because of white Republicans, etc...the typical progressive hogwash that's not rooted in reality. Of course y'all eat it up. And eat it up; I ain't mad at ya. But what in the fuck compels you people to condescendingly attempt to convince me there is a Santa Claus?

    I can read, dammit. He continues on 'til the bitter end, claiming that white America is on edge for fear that another non-white may be put in power. Where the fuck do these morons come up with this shit? From a few police shooting and Donald Trump, they suppose to submit as fact that the whole of white America is racist.

    Sorry, motherfuckers, but I'm a white person and get annoyed by this shit. And were it a writer painting all blacks as criminals or borderline retards with double-digit IQs, I suspect y'all would be railing against the shit too! But when it's a writer painting whites as evil racists and the suchlike, I just need to calm down a bit.

    And just imaging me coming in condescending to y'all and treating you like stupid children, claiming that you didn't just read what you read. lol Seriously, dudes.

    "James Bitch refuses to admit the biggest threat to his white ass is other whites. The vast vast majority of crimes committed against whites is by other whites."

    Because I keep my "white ass" away from Blacks, as most Whites do or try to do.  Hint for the logically impaired:  in an all-White country, all of the crime committed against Whites would be by other Whites.

    That the risk to one's "white ass" goes up by orders of magnitude when one goes near Blacks is a Hatefact.  The risk of a given individual in an interaction committing a crime against a White depends on race, and it's vastly higher for Blacks than any other race.


    "Is it possible that you are just unaware of how your minority coworkers neighbors and friends really feel?"

    I don't give a damn how you feel.  If you weren't around me, what I feel, say or do wouldn't matter one whit to you either.  Separate!

    "No doubt you have seen the Garner, Rice, Scott, McDonald videos. Any doubt that these are acts of murder?"

    I have seen the McDonald video.  It was a lawful use of force to stop a felon armed with a deadly weapon.  Lynching the officer involved as a sop to the Black mob doesn't change the facts.  Again, your feelings don't matter and your actions should be adjusted with tear gas, water cannons or live ammunition as required.

    "Stop trying so desperately to become the caricatures James Bold thinks you already."

    Stop assuming that there's more there than meets the eye.  You'll have a lot fewer disappointments.

    Josh, "explicitly implying" is an oxymoron. What you are doing is extrapolating his statement on black and brown people to add the "only". And though he didn't say "only" it is possible that he does believe that. You would have to ask him. As for the "out of control militarized racist police force", that could be taken literally as applying to the entire police force. I don't think he means it that way, but that's just me. Whatever, if you want to take issue with this writer, a salud.

    As for trolling, that ain't nothing bro. Wait till they start impersonating you like that previous jerkoff with the rod up his ass.

  53. The thing about a frame of context is that I don't have to ask him. I can read. I can reach C through his providing of A + B. A = police are racists. B = black and brown people are victims. C = he's saying it's only a problem for non-whites. And let us not forget the rest of his batshit crazy spiel about how Fox News is responsible for murders and how white America is on edge for fear of another non-white president. Y'all act as if I'm just wildly drawing this conclusion with nothing to support it. The fuckwit is barely hanging onto the outermost feather of the left wing here.

    But I get the standard here. For three years I've got it. I don't actually live in the world, apparently.

    Yes you can Josh, but when you are the only one that arrives at C from A + B, what does that prove? That you are a lot smarter than everyone else? Maybe.

    "Robert Dear also heard the drumbeat of hatred and lies turned into truths by Fox News and Republican presidential candidates such as Carly Fiorina when he killed three people at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado."

    "What is driving the America's racial divide is the fear in some quarters of the new America that is emerging and the thought that a person of color could actually lead it, again."

    The latter is Field talking, not DeVega. Batshit crazy? Perhaps, but is this is going to turn 200,000 people into James Bold? I doubt it.

  56. I don't know what you mean, Lance. I'm not the only one, to be sure. The rest of y'all are just biased in favor of pieces like these, evidenced by how y'all drool all over yourselves every single time Field does a cut-and-paste of a 5,000 word piece about how white people are inherently evil and racist. Again, stop treating me like I don't live in the world.

    "is this going to turn 200,000 people into James Bold?"

    I don't know. I'm using a little leftist logic here; my apologies. I hear constantly that America being anti-Muslim creates more terrorists. I hear constantly that white Americans acting "racist" toward Muslims will create more loathing for America and ultimately more terrorists. Well, A is A if A is A, and Muslims certainly aren't B, lest you want to say they're subhuman or something. Therefore, the same logic would apply. If white people are continually derided and goaded and insulted as nothing but racists who hate non-whites, then prepare for more racists after some white people start saying, "Well, fuck it then; they already think I'm a racist, so let's see..."

    A thought exercise: Go back as far as you can go on Field's blog or any similar blog, and find me one positive thing that's ever been said about whites. Every single fucking time "whites" come up, it's always to call us all racists or subconsciously against non-whites or oppressors or the offspring of slave owners or privileged participants in an unfair environment for blacks, and on and on.

    White people know, full well and without equivocation, that when non-whites say they want to start a "discussion" about race, it goes like this: Non-whites insulting white people, and white people needing to sit there and STFU and take it. We are the only ones who supposedly have to "listen" and "hear" what's going on.

    If you're a white person who reads your race constantly berated as inherently evil, you don't think that has any affect on people? Did it not have any negative affect on blacks to read that they were monkeys? We know these things polarize and cause hatred. We know it. But when black folks do it, it's supposedly on the justice get-back tip because whites are supposedly all the same with genetic memories, whereas you cannot typecast blacks lest racism.

    I don't think you folks even realize you're doing it, honestly. It's just so much a part of today's culture that it flies across the screen that all white people have some inherent flaw, and y'all are in here like, "What's the problem, Josh? What's so wrong about that? You need to calm down."

    Some subtext, for the hard of contextualizing: It's not fucking white people creating these color lines.

    Lola, thank you for your response. It is true that we often don't often discuss racial issues and I'm sure other topics, just as I don't discuss all topics such as religion, politics, etc with all of my inner circle. But, the fact that we are neighbors, colleagues, friends is the point and some of us have been for decades.

    You could be right Josh, to what extent depends on the extent that white people, on a scale of Rachel Dolezal to The Thin White Duke, identify with their whiteness. Me personally, I'm a lot closer to Rachel, so that is my frame of reference, yours may vary. Minorities on the other hand, the more of a minority you are, the more you identify. Because with majority comes power. When the majority unites against a minority (blacks, gays, Muslims whatever) it has an impact, as opposed to negligible impact when it is the other way around. Try this thought exercise. The attacks on blacks (monkeys, obsolete farm equipment) implying sub-human, contrast vs. whites (racist, oppressors, slave owners) implying superiority and power.

    "James Bold. Everyone here hates your guts. And vice versa. So why the fuck does your white ass keep coming back here?"

    I come here because you are entertainingly clueless, and little things like truth and not kowtowing to you like liberals do gets your knickers in a knot.  Of course, your searing hatred of all Whites, even as you prize and demand all of the products of Whiteness that Africans so obviously can't supply no matter where you are, is hilarious for those who've lost enough idealism to stop expecting adult bodies to harbor adult minds.

    Maybe, just maybe, puncturing the lies you've been told will get you to stop seeing yourselves as victims deserving compensation (aka a free ride) and start seeing yourselves as a backward population in dire need of generations of intensive self-improvement.  And maybe pigs will learn to sing.  In the mean time, the laughs are worth it.

    "is this going to turn 200,000 people into James Bold?"

    Oh, a million at a time will be turning.  It starts with the anti-White propaganda event of the year, Black History Month.  Children are carefully instructed that Black people made everything good around them.  Except the claims are half-truths at best, and a half-truth is a whole lie.  Giving children the WHOLE truth to compare to the propaganda will turn them into James Bolds.  Giving it to their parents... not only that child, but children AND their parents will turn, given time.

    "Well, fuck it then; they already think I'm a racist, so let's see..."

    See?  They're going to call me racist no matter what I do, so let them.  I don't care.

    "Did it not have any negative affect on blacks to read that they were monkeys?"

    They behaved better when they were told they were monkeys, instead of victims.  When the Talented Tenth told them to simmer down and behave themselves, at least some of them listened.  But when they became Victims-with-a-capital-V, they acquired privilege and a license to do anything... which they have.

    What's hilarious is you.  You can't even say "that's horrible", all you can come up with is a weak-sauce accusation that I laughed at the crime.  You can't admit that Black people do bad things, ever... not even when they're shoved right in your face.

    Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't participate.  I'm participating now, establishing the casus belli (Black race hatred and moral depravity, for starters).  I'm documenting the grievances that Whites have against Black Run America and everything related to "civil rights" and "racial justice".
