Black Students Protesting Racism by Acting Racist

Whiteness represents Christian culture—it is that simple. Those promoting this concept of whiteness are the same who oppose Christian culture. They want cultural revolution. They are cultural Marxists. Whiteness is their new label for the thing they want to attack; it is their way of getting around the fact. They call it undue privilege, systemic racism, and so on. They use privilege like it is a bad word. Privilege is an honor, and those with it have a duty to uphold certain values. If those values are not upheld—guess what happens to society? I saw a black man on X in a post he made saying we need whites to lead this country because they are the only ones who can do it. What I think he meant was that we need leaders who uphold the values traditionally associate with white culture, which is Christian culture. Those who oppose this idea of whiteness are really opposing traditional Christian values. That is the culture war going on right now.

That is why I say it seems less like the students involved in this protest were protesting racism by behaving in a racist manner and more like they were simply lashing out in a vengeful manner against what they have been taught to view as whiteness. It does not surprise me at all that this protest occurred where it did. But this was 8 years ago, and now see what is happening there—ironic, considering that a lot of what is taught about whiteness comes, interestingly enough, from people who consider themselves non-white, which is Jewish intellectuals. One can easily see this by looking at all the seminal literature on whiteness and where it comes from. Pointing this out could be called racist, I suppose, but everyone is slinging that word race and racist around whenever they are triggered by anything. It is now difficult to simply make a statement of fact for fear of being called inflammatory or a bigot or something like that. Can I be honest here? Who is fanning the flames of all this? I don’t think it is the average person.

For example, more blacks and non-whites shifted towards the political right in this past election on Tuesday than ever before. They are tired of being told that they are victims of whiteness. They see a white leader today who actually seems to want them to do well for themselves, who wants to stop all the runaway crime, versus all the voices on the left pandering to “minority” groups and subcultures and fetishes as though this were something the everyday person valued. Blacks and whites are pitted against each other by groups backed by Alex Soros, and there is a ton of evidence showing that Jewish groups like the ADL constantly try to incite the kind of “activism” seen at Berkeley. This is not conducive to peace or unity. It is vengeance and all it will end up doing is making white people hate black people, who will then hate white people more, and so on. With whites and blacks fighting, no one notices that Jewish supremacists in government meanwhile pass laws saying that criticism of Israel is an anti-semitic hate crime. Considering that the state of Israel is engaged in genocide in a way our modern world has rarely seen, we should really be stopping to wonder about why our leaders do very little to address that issue. My opinion is that these supremacists want us fighting each other so that we don’t end up fighting them.

So I think these students at Berkeley are totally misguided. We are not at war with each other. We should not be at war with each other. We are all meant to be one in Christ. Blacks and whites can call Christ their own—we don’t have to be separated by this vengeful racism where we are constantly up in arms over who did what to whom. Christ is unique because He tells us to forgive. We need more of that—less of this insane anger! Less of this hyper-aggressive hostility. All that does is lead to total annihilation like what we see in Gaza and now in Lebanon, and the excuse is always, “Oh, well, we have no choice, they will just do it to us if we don’t do it to them.” Is that really where we are now? It is the same with these students: they did it to us, so now we must do it to them. Our society will not survive this type of thinking anymore than Palestine and Israel are able to survive as neighbors when they both insist on eye-for-an-eye justice.
