Has the left abandoned the "ALL white people are racist" narrative?

submitted by [deleted] from (self.debatealtright)

As I explored the world of "anti-racist" writers, I learned that a big sticking point for them is that ALL whites are racist as result of being raised in a racist culture. They may not all have racial ill-will or promote white supremacy intentionally, but they have all internalized aspects of white supremacist thinking. And thus, they too, should be classified as "racist".

Nowadays, the left is drawing an extremely sharp distinction between themselves and "racists". They seem to conceive of themselves as "pure", while everyone else is a pitiful racist.

They're ignoring something that is at the heart of critical race theory.

Well, now I hope that the jews will keep attacking whites, if they get attacked more it will increase the chances for them to come on our side.

It's not going to be fruitful unless we mass promote and amplify it and get it to every single self respecting White. From there a plan of action must be developed.

You're starting to realize the flaw in viewing a dissimilar group of people as a singular entity.

I mean the "Left" is a big grouping, not all believe in that, like not all the "Right" support many of Trump's policies. A lot of the hardcore communist-types don't actually believe in this, it's something I'd say is more common among the "liberal left/democratic socialist" types and those inspired by anarchism (which are admittedly the most vocal segment atleast).

But I think the modern radical liberal trend that has adopted the "woke" (I hate this word so much) worldview is still alive and kicking, the opposition to them might have got louder but they're not backing down seemingly. If anything, they're feeling more emboldened with all this BLM hysteria and pushing the narrative of the institutionally racist white culture that needs decolonising to be more accepting for coloured people. The white leftists you see who try draw that distinctions but still believe in that stuff are just "virtue-signalling" (I hate this term so much also), trying to show they're trying their hardest to break from the perceived white supremacist patriarchy. Some individuals among such leftists might be realising how bad it is optically, as it's definitely not an election winning strategy, but they usually get shut down pretty quickly.

There has been noticeable pushback against some of the absolutist rhetoric of critical race theory, and against identity politics in general by media jews like the one in that tweet exactly for the reasons they mention. The fear that it will awaken white identity politics. Which is exactly what it did in 2016.

A lot of jews kept their mouths shut because it was obvious that it was mostly jews pushing left wing identity politics, so they were reluctant to trash a mostly jewish phenomenon for their usual ethnocentric reasons and because it might call attention to it and fuel antisemitism.

Once a goy like diangelos book came out and became a best seller they felt free to criticize it, which is why they literally all target diangelo, as if she invented the shit. Its a way for them to express their concern without targeting other jews, so diangelo has become their punching bag.

Their concern isnt that its pure bullshit that smears all whites, its that this will fuel white identity. This is their sole concern and they plainly state that. Its basically jews disagreeing on tactics, not the overall strategy. Theyre all still for mass immigration, they just disagree on how best to proceed with replacing whites. Some say fuck it lets go balls to the wall shaming and humiliating them in order to push the overton window while a few think they should put on the brakes to avoid a backlash.

I confess, I am a racist.

The social justice literature calls these liberals who believe they aren't racist, "good whites," and they are immensely frustrated with them. In fact, it's those people they spend most of their time calling racist. From the linked article (Source: DiAngelo, Robin. White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism. Beacon Press, 2018, pp. 4–5.):

None of the white people whose actions I describe in this book would identify as racist. In fact, they would most likely identify as racially progressive and vehemently deny any complicity with racism. Yet all their responses illustrate white fragility and how it holds racism in place. These responses spur the daily frustrations and indignities people of color endure from white people who see themselves as open-minded and thus not racist. This book is intended for us, white progressives who so often—despite our conscious intentions—make life so difficult for people of color. I believe that white progressives cause the most daily damage to people of color. I define a white progressive as anyone who thinks he or she is not racist, or is less racist, or is in the “choir,” or already “gets it.” White progressives can be the most difficult for people of color because, to the degree we think we have arrived, we will put our energy into making sure other people see us as having arrived. None of our energy will be going into what we need to be doing for the rest of our lives: engaging in ongoing self-awareness, continuing education, relationship building, and actual antiracist practice. White progressives do indeed uphold and perpetrate racism, but our defensiveness and certitude make it virtually impossible to explain to us how we do so.
