Missed your most recent post. Yeah, I think it was way too easy to assume that chart was itself a negative value judgement on all the things listed (just as most of you did). I doubt that was the actual intent of the chart.

Of course they were making negative value judgements on those things - they are the qualities/values of "whiteness." Remember Jim, these are the people you are supporting...

Perhaps they didn't think it would get that much exposure. In any case the truth about who they are is out there... And they did not disavow it.

It was a classic "I'm sorry you're upset" non-apology.

As I said, their point was not likely to be to say all those things are bad, but just to define what white culture is.

Let's do a comparison...

oxmixmudd (what white supremacy is):

It's not. The KKK itself co-opts Christian concepts and teachings. It's founder considered himself Christian. Many members of the KKK in the past where Christians, members of churches, self professed believers in the teachings of Christ. In fact, in the height of the jim crow south, it was not at all unusual for people to go to church, and bring a picnic lunch along to watch a lynching of a black 'criminal' after the service. White Christian churches in the south were quite resistive to integration of their services on Sunday morning. And it was only those more 'liberal' elements within the southern church that embraced the civil rights movement, and Billy Graham, whatever you may think of him, lost popularity in southern white churches because of his efforts to support Martin Luther King. And let us not forget that the Southern Baptist Church and convention owes its origins to a break from other Baptists over the issue of slavery, over the right of it's Christian members to have and use slaves.

DiAngelo (what white supremacy is):

Christianity is the norm. Anything other than Judeo-Christian tradition is foreign. No tolerance for deviation from single God concept

Well, both consider the Christian church racist and white supremacist. Pretty darn close.

I don't think so seer. But I am talking issues of race with a man displaying Robert E Lee as his avatar, so there really is no point in discussing it further.

I don't think they're saying that all of those things are bad. They're just pointing out what are the "default assumptions" so people can realize that alternatives might also be valid choices.

See Jim, you don't want to deal with the principles of the people you are supporting. This isn't about race as must as it is about destroying western culture. Going forward Jim don't defend the family, Christianity, science, rational thinking, property rights, decision making, planning for the future, delaying gratification, etc... These are all vestiges of "whiteness" and therefore suspect. What ever you think about Trump and his policies the policies of these people and their goals are infinity worse and evil.

What is the alternative to rationality and the scientific method?
