Why America Has Gone MadJared Taylor, American Renaissance, September 1, 2020
EXCERPT:Since the Civil Rights era, race rioters have been almost exclusively black. In the 1992 Rodney King riots, Hispanics joined in the looting, but whites did not. A few whites were on the fringes in Ferguson in 2014 and Baltimore in 2015, but since George Floyd, some of the worst, most persistent rioting has been in majority-white cities: Minneapolis (64 percent white), Seattle (66 percent), Portland (77 percent), and most recently Kenosha, Wisconsin (67 percent). Blacks are certainly taking part in large numbers and are often the first through a broken store window, but these cities would be much calmer — some might have seen no violence at all — without berserker whites. White anarchists and “antifa†often spark the violence, but their role is like that of the Weather Underground in the 1960s and ’70s: They are a violent fringe that gets attention but that has hardly any effect on broader currents of opinion.
The larger shift in white thinking and behavior has created a bitter cleavage in American society that has taken on a religious intensity. It is leading towards antagonism and violence on a scale not seen since the Civil War. I have seen nothing like it in 30 years of carefully observing American race relations.
The change in white thinking is an intellectual revolution brought by ideas that had been quarantined in universities but spread to the whole country. The most important one sounds innocuous — a new definition of “racism†— but it is turning the country inside out.
Americans used to think racism meant deliberate acts of hostility to others because of race, and that once Americans stopped doing those things, there would be justice and harmony. Not anymore. Robin DeAngelo, today’s hottest anti-racist guru, scoffs at what she calls, “The simplistic idea that racism is limited to individual intentional acts committed by unkind people.†Whites may have no animus towards non-whites but “the ubiquitous socializing power of white supremacy cannot be avoided. The messages circulate 24-7.†Thus, even the best intentioned whites uphold white supremacy whether they want to or not: “White progressives do indeed uphold and perpetrate racism.â€
