America’s New Caste System?

America’s New Caste System?
By Jonathan F. Keiler

Some have correctly pointed out that the nationwide urban unrest largely stoked and pursued by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is much more about class warfare than racism.  Beyond making this observation, it’s important to understand how this is the case.  What we may be witnessing is an atavistic return to a pre-Enlightenment class dominated social structure, which resembles nothing so much as India’s historical caste system. 

This comparison seems odd, but it’s strangely apt.

Black Americans are being elevated by the media, business and political elites to the country’s virtuous class, based upon a narrative of suffering due to historical and current abuses.

I was raised to treat everyone equally. But, that’s not good enough anymore. Now, you’ve got to apologize for your white privilege.

We used to call this sort of thing racism, back when we were first grappling with affirmative action policy, college admissions quotas and job set asides. We’ve gone so far down this road of social engineering thst it’s become perverted. Now, it’s somehow acceptable to lay blame for the world’s ills at the feet of whites. Make no mistake: white liberal guilt is killing race relations.

Try this experiment. Walk down a busy street in a black neighborhood and say out loud, I’m white and I’m proud! Yikes! You can’t say that. You’re not even permitted to think that! That would be racist.

But what is permissible? James Brown singing “I’m black and I’m proud?” Yes, be proud of your race—but only if you are black. It’s sick and perverted and goes against the American ideal. It’s time to end this offensive perversion of our civil society.

End it?   Reality check:   They (Obama minions) are just getting started.

Racial strife and division is just one more way they "think" they can get rid of Trump.  It's a package deal (Impeachment, Pandemic, Election Fraud, Riots, Class Warfare, etc.).
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Can Newton’s third law of motion be applied to social science [sic]?

If the answer is yes, then the scenario you laid out will likely end our American experiment—to paraphrase T.S. Elliot—not with a whimper but a bang.

Trump says America isn't racist: 'We're not defunding police'
Washington Times, Jun 11, 2020

President Trump announced a broad four-part plan Thursday to improve policing nationwide and advance conditions in minority communities, a vision he called “force with compassion” that rejects a liberal movement to defund police departments.

Pushing back at widespread complaints of institutional racism in the U.S., Mr. Trump also said there won’t be healing in the nation “by falsely labeling tens of millions of decent Americans as racist.” At a mega-church in Dallas, Mr. Trump said he will sign an executive order soon encouraging police departments to meet high professional standards for the use of force, including tactics for de-escalating confrontations.

[...]

The president said some elements of the country are “trying to stoke division. … This includes radical efforts to defund, dismantle and disband the police.”

“We have to go the opposite way,” he said. “We must invest more energy and resources in police training and recruitment and community engaging. … You always have a bad apple wherever you go. There are not too many in the police department.”

[...]

Addressing the complaints of systemic racism in the U.S., the president said, “We have to work together to confront bigotry and prejudice wherever they appear. But we’ll make no progress and heal no wounds by falsely labeling tens of millions of decent Americans as racist.”

Oh, I think there will be a bang.  Lots and lots of bangs.   I'm betting that the silent majority will rise up, finally, and put an end to the leftist BS, once and for all.   Betting and praying.   Because that's the only way it will end (they'll never stop trying to destroy us from within).

From 2016 FBI statistics...

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-3.xls

Who is killing who? 

Black on White Murder-  3,489 total murders of whites, 533 by blacks  or   15.2%
White on Black Murder-  2,879 total murders of blacks, 243 by whites or.   8.4%

The narrative has been so jacked it's a joke.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

The narrative is like everything the left pushes.   A lie.

Notice the numbers are roughly equal.

Which is probably why the media focuses so much attention on vague references to systemic, institutionalized racism. Try to nail that, down. And why they need every Travon Martin, Michael Brown and George Floyd death, three points on a statistical chart, to be symbols of inherent white racism—it’s in your DNA, white boy.

But the sum of those reactions will make the force unequal. Blacks are 12.7% of the population, Caucasians make up 72%. With equal push, the cumulative effect of caucasians vs blacks would be 6:1 in terms of overall force, and still 4:1 with defectors. Simply put, the equal and opposite reaction in each would add up to an overwhelming force en masse.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

white liberal guilt is killing race relations.


That liberal white guilt was taught by academics from the 60s, and call it "post-modern, Identity politics.

It is marxist in termss of end goals. It iis marxist in methods.

At the top sit wealthy elites, Stalin, Obama, Clinton.Castro, Che,

Just a point that those with a limited worldview need to consider. About half of the population of the country isn't city bound and liberal. The going gets rough where the Metro ends.
