And now you're all talking about Anti-White girl instead of the actual topic. Deflection achieved.
I have no idea what's actually going on tbf.

Meanwhile, though, Oregoropa meanders on out of her without addressing the actual question. It's just infuriating.

Sorry, had to drive for 2 hours. I read the article. Radicalization of whites. Is it OK to read an essay and find it a bit hyperbolic? I don't see a great uprising of white supremacy. Just because hundreds of counties flipped to Trump in the heartland doesn't mean the Fourth Reich is rising in the Rust Belt. Irvine, are you trying to warn us, or just looking for another reason to justify Trump's win?
Is this the narrative that is driving the Democratic party? So much so that a candidate running for the chair of the party says it is her job to "shut white people up"
Sure white privilege exists. I get her general gist. The matter of importance to the Democratic party is up to them. As a matter of political strategy to have a chairwoman 'shut white people up' is disastrous for the party.
But it's much more important to focus on her use of "shut white people up", even if we agree about the context. You just don't talk about white folk like that.
. . . and expect to prevent a supermajority of the GOP in the Senate.
I'm sure this a situation many in here would like to avoid. The Democratic needs to figure out how to advance social justice while at the same time maintain the governance to achieve those goals. IE 2018 Midterms.
From a political standpoint it may not be an easy thing to do.
Oregoropa, I apologize, I made a mistake. I thought Irvine had posted about this:
https://theintercept.com/2017/01/31...-supremacist-infiltration-of-law-enforcement/
I guess I read the article around the time Irvine posted and just made an assumption. I could've sworn I clicked the link to be sure, but I was mistaken. I am very sorry, while you may have been a bit flippant (though as you say, you were driving) your post was clearly in line with Irvine's. I made a mistake.
But this does raise a valid counterpoint to your argument that there is not a white supremacy uprising upon us.

Well. I could always be crazy, still.

Let's all just take a deep breath . . . and just kinda have a light hearted moment. It gets a bit exhausting being so amped through the keyboards
What's the other board, LN7?
Neither does Steve Bannon.I don't see a great uprising of white supremacy.
She does come off as very apologetic. It's not "anti-white." But she is being is tad ridiculous. Her 'job to shut other white people down' is obnoxious.
Ms. Brown from the video = SOL
Biden's backing Sec Perez. Sen Sanders backing Rep Ellison.

The whites have spoken.

Jeez dude. It undermines the value of race relations entirely if there's a massive paintbrush that colors everything either black or white. Joe Biden can be a white man and mean well for black people. And that doesn't start with him saying "I'm here to shut white people up." You want good race relations? Stop treating people like they're different.
mmmkay
Oh but she's black, right? Sorry dude, but the majority of people in this country are white. We should push towards having equal representation of our demographics, but at some point you have to imagine it's not useful to be making everything about race and gender. Bernie Sanders is a notable member of congress. Yeah, he's a white old man. Who gives a flying fuck? Barack Obama is a notable black ex-president. Who does he endorse? Does he speak for black people? Are white people not allowed to endorse someone, because that would be "the whites speaking?"

Stop treating people like they're different. That was one of my favorite things about Obama. It didn't matter what his skin color was while he was a leader. He just did a damn good job at what he was doing.
I think you missed his point by a mile.
