Is the tide turning in favor of the sane?

...or am I just following all the right people on Twitter now?
It seems that everyone is bashing this new whiteness graphic and John McWhorter’s new Atlantic piece destroys De’Angelo’s White Fragility. Atlantic Article
Is it just me? Or is rationality taking control?

If that graphic is supposed to make me feel bad, it's failing miserably.

Sounds like a great culture honestly

I resemble that poster
Is this where I am supposed to apologize? Well, that is not going to happen.

How is one classified as aggressive and extroverted but also avoids conflict and intimacy? WTF.

I'm beginning to think this whole BLM and ANTIFA movement is based on pure jealousy towards hard working Americans. They even attack blacks that think normal. Their whole agenda is to be given what ever they want and not work for it and blame someone else for their problems.

After looking at that chart, I've never been more proud to be white in my life!
As a white Auburn guy:
WAR DAMN WHITE PEOPLE!!!!!

i don't consider any of the "white culture". SUCCESSFUL black, hispanic and asian people follow those just as well as SUCCESSFUL whites.
ETA: "Steak and potatoes; bland is best"
i season my steaks.
ETA: all of those items should be "American Culture".

DiAngelo’s depiction of white psychology shape-shifts according to what her dogma requires. On the one hand, she argues in Chapter 1 that white people do not see themselves in racial terms; therefore, they must be taught by experts like her of their whiteness. But for individuals who harbor so little sense of themselves as a group, the white people whom DiAngelo describes are oddly tribalist when it suits her narrative. “White solidarity,” she writes in Chapter 4, “requires both silence about anything that exposes the advantages of the white population and tacit agreement to remain racially united in the protection of white supremacy.” But if these people don’t even know whiteness is a category, just what are they now suddenly defending?

Correct if you ask me what I am. The first thing I say is I’m an American. I don’t say I’m a white man

A prayer book for a cult is a great way to describe that book also this NAILS the issue with these clowns:
quote:
We must consider what is required to pass muster as a non-fragile white person. Refer to a “bad neighborhood,” and you’re using code for Black; call it a “Black neighborhood,” and you’re a racist; by DiAngelo’s logic, you are not to describe such neighborhoods at all, even in your own head. You must not ask Black people about their experiences and feelings, because it isn’t their responsibility to educate you. Instead, you must consult books and websites. Never mind that upon doing this you will be accused of holding actual Black people at a remove, reading the wrong sources, or drawing the wrong lessons from them.
You must never cry in Black people’s presence as you explore racism, not even in sympathy, because then all the attention goes to you instead of Black people. If you object to any of the “feedback” that DiAngelo offers you about your racism, you are engaging in a type of bullying “whose function is to obscure racism, protect white dominance, and regain white equilibrium.”
quote:
That is a pretty strong charge to make against people who, according to DiAngelo, don’t even conceive of their own whiteness. But if you are white, make no mistake: You will never succeed in the “work” she demands of you. It is lifelong, and you will die a racist just as you will die a sinner.

Yup. They've replaced religious hatred of sin with secular hatred of "racism".
I think everyone should read that POS book. Just to learn the irrationality the sane people are up against.

Matt Taibbi already destroyed that POS book but sure I’ll read the Atlantic piece too

You got that right.
And to the point in the OP’s linked article, it is indeed condescendingly racist to assume that the overwhelming majority of blacks who willingly embrace a good portion of the virtues — yes virtues! — described above are in someway adopting a dominant culture which not only oppresses them but is foreign to their nature. That is flat out racism.

This is true for me
I don't really identify with White - pretty non-descript
