The Left Has Killed Martin Luther King’s Dream

King had a dream that his four children “will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

That’s over, courtesy of the left.

The left says it is dangerous when whites say they don’t judge by color because it “denies black’s reality.”

Sounds an awful lot like they are saying “if you are truly colorblind you kneecap the race card and neutralize black people’s meal tickets.”

Who, but a perpetual professional victim, would actively pursue more division, more racism, not less?The left is perverse and dangerous, not “whites.”

College Fix-

During a guest lecture at Boston University on Monday, University of Washington Professor Robin DiAngelo told the audience a “dangerous white person” sees people as individuals rather than by skin color.

DiAngelo, whose main field of work is “whiteness studies,” added that those who say they were taught to treat everyone the same deny black people of their reality, she said.

She said when she hears people talk about treating everyone the same, it tells her “this person doesn’t understand basic socialization. This person doesn’t understand culture. This person is not self-aware.”

“I want to be clear that as I stand up here with authority and a voice on this topic, I’m reinforcing whiteness and the centrality of the white view,” she said. “I’d like to be a little less white, which means a little less oppressive, oblivious, defensive, ignorant and arrogant.”

She also stated she was “going to admit to things white people never admit to” and because of “implicit bias,” the white people in the room will be more inclined to listen to her.

She discussed how racism is systemic in the media, the family, religion, education, economics, language, and criminal justice. The common definition of racism as “an individual who consciously does not like people based on race and is intentionally mean to them” allegedly protects this system of racism.

She also talked about the rampant sexism this country faces. One slide of her presentation demonstrated that the majority of politicians, directors, and police officers are male, and that it is sexist for one to suggest that maybe men “just happen to be” more inclined to go into these fields of work.

“We live in a patriarchy,” she affirmed, and even asserted her own husband is a product of the patriarchy.

She encouraged the audience to think in terms of race, and not the character of individual people, because all white people are racist to some degree, no matter what.

  1. So, if you see race and your white you are a racist. If you don’t see race and you are white you are a racist. If you are a libtard who is a selfloathing white person who says all the “right” things: white people are racist, black people should get compensation for slavery because, well, if you start looking for answers beyond ‘white people are racist’ it’s going to get ugly in a logical sort of way.

    So this is just more fuel on the racial divide fire because if the Dems ever lose their strangle hold (and I mean strangle hold) on the Black vote they would be more doomed than had John Brown walked into Harper’s Ferry with 100 men armed like those B of A bank robbers in North Hollywood circa 1997.

  2. There is a trajectory here most likely planned by leftist think tanks perhaps with the aid of AI computer programs. This is nothing more than a set-up for reparation demands. Higher “education” is the focus of MK ultra brainwashing program. It all started in the late 60s at Fairhaven college, then Evergreen, both in Washington State. Conspiracy? You damn well bet it’s a conspiracy, and it’s been working.

  3. If anyone judges people by the color of their skin, it’s the Left.

    They never fail to mention it, and are almost always the first to bring it up when no one else has made it an issue.

  4. Most politicians, directors and police officers are men! Whoopee, all mothers, most school teachers, and social work hen peckers are women. It all unfairly balances out to the detriment of both men and country!

  5. Marty King failed in his advocacy for pure equality because what the liberal whites and black poverty pimps wanted, and have gotten, is pseudo supremacy for a low aptitude and basement type dwelling constituency! In this, they have been remarkably successful!

  6. I’ve been involved with police hiring off and on for decades and I can tell you departments can’t hire people who don’t apply. A minority or female candidate with a decent background is almost certain to be hired. (Just don’t shoot heroin during the interview.)

    You’re confused honey. You just referred to being a leftist dupe, and not white.

  8. .“I’d like to be a little less white, which means a little less oppressive, oblivious, defensive, ignorant and arrogant.”

    …so, ALL White people are, BECAUSE they are White, oppressive, oblivious, defensive, ignorant and arrogant? And NO Black people are oppressive, oblivious, defensive, ignorant and arrogant unless they are ACTING White?

    …I sense no racism here…/s

  9. King was the battering ram; easily cast aside and forgotten other than as camouflage once the gates were open.
    Good intentions are evil if used to pave the road to hell.
    He is no “hero” as I see him.

  10. ‘I’ve been involved with police hiring off and on for decades and I can tell you departments can’t hire people who don’t apply. ‘

    …in a similar story, @RickeyG, one time in the ’90s my fire company was called to smoke in the building at what was then the only African Methodist Episcopalian church in the district. It proved to be due to some arcing and sparking in a poorly executed electrical panel for the main service in the building. There was no real fire, just smoke.

    Due to a then-new type of electric meter it was not possible to safely pull it to de-energize the panel, and the electrical utility was just pulling up, so the Chief said “we’re not going to fight this (smouldering) fire until the power’s off”, which it would be in a minute or two, and be much safer to deal with.

    Unfortunately, the church’s pastor, Reverend Bumphead of the Perpetually Offended, heard only, “We’re not going to fight this fire”. Ignoring the fact that the fire was in fact fought sucessfully right in front of him a moment later, Pastor Pissedoff chose to assume the City FD was gonna let a Black church burn because, racism.

    …tons of Black indignation later, at a special Council meeting, the Chief presented before a glowering audience of local poverty pimps and sundry liberal lawyers myriad proofs,including communications and our Black firefighter contigent, which had been at the scene and would have definitely been surprised by an order to burn churches for Whitey, and managed to prove, with the aid of State fire investigators who confirmed it was a good stop and prudent actions, that we weren’t Klansmen in red trucks come to whoop and holler at Code 3 as the AME burned.

    The Chief then pulled his ace.

    “This is a VOLUNTEER fire department, and ANY resident in the district can join. If you want to know what we do, what we discuss, and how we work, I have applications right here, and we would be GLAD to have your help and your input to make our Department better”.

    …so saying, he laid the applications down in plain view of the chamber.

    There were no takers.

    Then, it being the ’90s, instead of rioting they just threw all the White people in the room dirty looks, and left.

    Reverend Grudge still has that church, in the same place, and actually bigger and quite unburnt. The neighborhood turned to shit around it as you might expect, but not because of the Fire Department.

    We got no help from “the community”.

    And no one even got an apology from the pastor for his false witness.

    …so, yes, they LOVE to complain. Just don’t ask them to HELP.

  11. Super, it’s sad to say, but I think that sort of reaction is all too common. Your example also shows how an irresponsible comment made in 2 seconds then takes hours (or more) to rebut and set right.
