‘Multiracial Whiteness’ Is the Latest Leftist Branding Iron
“White nationalist†and “white supremacist†serve the same function in our denatured republic as “running dog of capitalism†did in Maoist China or “parasitic capitalist†did in the Third Reich.

Fraser Myers recently asked at Spiked how blacks and Latinos could vote for Donald Trump and in some cases enthusiastically join demonstrations for him, given the supposedly obvious fact that that Trump is a white supremacist. According to Myers, New York University professor Cristina Beltrán answered this troubling question in the Washington Post in a memorable gloss on “whitenessâ€:
Whiteness is the politics of aggression, exclusion, and domination. And multiracial whiteness reflects an understanding of whiteness as a political colour and not simply a racial identity. It is a ‘discriminatory worldview in which feelings of freedom and belonging are produced through the persecution and dehumanisation of others.’
And so now we understand. “Whiteness,†or what Beltrán elsewhere designates as “multiracial whiteness,†does not refer exclusively to Caucasians as opposed to black people or to some other race. It is holding a “discriminatory worldview†that causes someone to engage in the “dehumanization†of others. This may be what President Biden (or his speechwriter) had in mind when he went after “white nationalists†but conveniently forgot to mention Black Lives Matter and Antifa as persistent hellraisers. And white supremacists are people we should ostracize and strip of their rights because they practice dehumanization. Moreover, the disease of “whiteness†has befallen nonwhites as well as biological whites, and we would do well to reeducate these bigoted nonwhites, particularly the ones who wore MAGA hats and voted for Trump.
