We Know the Color of the Enemies Skin

After all, Obama's generation of elites were the ones that inserted the hyphen so blacks could be "African-American"

I stopped reading after this line. I've seen the term written this way all my life, or at least stretching back to the Clinton administration.
 
^^^ This.

Add to that - I don't exactly "follow" Hollywood, but I never heard of this woman. Is she a big deal, or just a low-rent nobody saying outrageous stuff, possibly for attention?

I looked at her Wikipedia page. She doesn't seem like that big of a deal. I've never seen anything that she's been in.
 
Natural unattractiveness is more a matter of character,

I agree there is attraction based on someone's personality or character, however there is also the physical attraction. For example, some guys are really attracted to redheads, and this has nothing to do with character. Dark skin is just one of the many physical attributes of a human, and it is conceivable that if there are people who are attracted to dark skin, then surely there must also be people who are repulsed by it.

i.e. the extent to which that is warped by bigotry of the type you show here.
Not finding dark skin attractive is not bigotry.

One can only hope you are girded against the trauma you will no doubt encounter, once your education has progressed sufficiently for you to realize that you are as much a descendant of original Africans as we all are. Which, to lessen the shock by giving you advance notice here, were very dark-skinned.

So what we are descended from dark-skinned africans? The only thing that matters is that I am not dark-skinned, which I thank god for everyday.

That probably works both ways in that dark-skinned people wouldn't want you to be part of theirs.

This is fine by me.
 
Obama pioneered getting everyone to think along the lines of racial and social identity. After all, Obama's generation of elites were the ones that inserted the hyphen so blacks could be "African-American" - IOW, "I'm not really one of you", even though they couldn't find Africa on a map. So everyone has a hyphen but whites. There is no such thing as an "English-American". They are just plain "Americans". Same with Mexicans and Samoans. Hyphens now tell others "I'm not really one of you". All that hyphen was supposed to do was remind people that you weren't totally American. Now it means "you are on the other side". Especially if you don't have a hyphen, you are really on the other side! Ask a black person in England about their citizenship and they will reply "English" or "British" or "Scottish" without hyphens.

The elites have branded minorities in such a way they will never be fully American, and will always be an outsider even when they are inside. You are not an American. You are a Chinese-American born and raised in the Bronx with Americans.

So as race relations disintegrate thanks to the media and Hollywood blaming "white people", this sudden idea of using whites as scapegoats is only going to further isolate minorities, and especially blacks just as the Trump economy has turned their economic prospects positive. White liberals trying to connect with blacks is just another way of trying to exploit them because they are now "interesting". The only reason Hollywood gives a crap is that blacks have more money now and are interested in movies other than "Blackula", etc. - the preferred genra for "Blacksploitation" movies. White Hollywood sees association with blacks as "edgy". It's all about their own image and finding an audience among the "hyphens" so they can get hired. The exploitation never stops. It only changes direction.

People are afraid enough of racism as it is, and it is bogus to act like they aren't. The end result of all of this will be a return to races retreating back into groups, economically and socially because people naturally want to avoid friction and being uncomfortable. They want to put in their eight hours and go home. You aren't their problem. The husband, kids, and car is.

Hollywood will move on, the media will yell about White Nationalism... Well it's hard to argue you aren't white when you are, isn't it? And we are a nation, aren't we? And hell, we don't even have hyphens do we? Well I guess that settles it for the half wits that are trying to shape our world for us.

it's funny how, as a white man, i haven't experienced very much racism. maybe i'm not watching the right news network.
 
no day is truly complete without a white nationalist "i'm such a mistreated victim" thread. thanks.

You aren't even a tad bit curious about why the same media that eviscerated Roseanne Barr over racist Tweets hasn't said a peep about Ellen Barkin's racist Tweets?
 
I think that Ellen Barkin no longer looks like Ellen Barkin, who, btw, wasn't a half bad character actress in her day.
Politics must be her new profession. So sad to see these Hollywood has beens needing this much attention.

She also made a cryptic comment recently, which could be seen as wishing death on the president. I've read several comments here where people say something along the lines of, 'she's no big deal, why bother talking about this?' Her Twitter account has 166k followers, which means she has plenty of people listening to what she says.
 
It should, of course. I can only speak for myself here but I'm not a fan of cherry picking comments from idiots on social media outlets in an attempt to portray their views as the popular thought. We all know there are extremists out there. Why give them an additional platform here? I'd hate to see us sink even deeper into extreme partisan idiocy and become like the comments section on youtube.

So you also objected to the dozen or so threads dedicated to Roseanne Barr's Tweets from several months ago? Or the media driven hysteria that cost her her job?

It's not OK to make comments like Barkin made, wishing death on the president even if joking about it, ... people who do that need to be called out.
 
Where's the link? Aren't we supposed to post a link to what we're creating a thread for? How can anyone comment on this without knowing what it was she said?

Her Tweets were captured by screenshot, so they'd be preserved if she attempted to delete them, which she did.
 
i am a white man. white nationalism is and always has been bull****, and that has nothing to do with the problems that all non-rich people are experiencing as the economy evolves into post-labor automation. don't expect me to get all skeered that there might be too many Hondurans here when my own coworkers are spending their long, bored days trying to figure out how to replace me with a robot. that's the real risk, and it ain't a brown person or the fact that i can't use a racial slur in polite company. open your eyes.

Is black nationalism ok with you?
How about brown nationalism?
Or Arab nationalism? Would that be ok with you?
 
Who determines who the Hollywood elitists are? Is there like a list? Are they rated annually? Who rates them?

For quite a while I've noticed the adjective "elitist" ascribed by truthatallcost to leftists, liberals, socialists, educators, Democrats and the like. I've often wondered how truthatallcost (who is known to frequently struggle with the truth) has been able to determine the elitists among all these groups. He must subscribe to an Elitist list on the internet. But how is the elitist status determined?

I'm not much of a celebrity fan. I don't watch as much television as truthatallcost apparently does. I don't read National Enquirer. Celebrities obviously have a huge impact on truthatallcost.

I do know who Ellen Barkin is, though I can't connect her to a movie or TV program. Hell, I didn't know she was still acting. It surprises me to discover that she is one of the Hollywood elite. How could I ever have formed political opinions without having Barkin's input? :shock:

Let's start with Harvey Weinstein- large donor to the DNC, known as a serial abuser of women throughout Hollywood, and had the protection of the NYC District Attorney, plus the president of NBC news, who covered up allegations of rape. He's the poster child of the Hollywood elite, of which Barkin is a member. This is evidenced by the fact she labeled an entire race of people as 'the enemy', and even appeared to wish death on the President, all while having the protection of the media, which hasn't said a word about any of this. Her Twitter account has 166k followers, which means her Tweets are viewed a helluva lot more than this website is.
 
Brainwashing.

It could be that, but it could also be an attempt to revive her fading career.
At any rate, any white person, I don't care who you are, should be called out for calling white people the enemy.
That's some race baiting, virtue signaling right there.

Most Americans can name more celebrities than members of Congress, or American presidents. This website is geared towards the minority in this country- those who actually follow politics closely.

link me to a post where i said anything about Rosanne Barr.

i'm not a big fan of nationalism. it's usually a tool used by idiots.

I'm not saying that you did or didn't. I'm asking you whether you're curious about why the media turned Barr's tweet into a national story while ignoring Barkin's.

nah, i'm not curious about that. i only have so much weekend, and i've allotted very little time for white victimhood.
 
The supreme racists are the democrats themselves. What was it Vogue magazine just said about "white women?"

You immediately dismiss his grievance as "white victimhood" without giving it any consideration.
