White and black people were asked if they are proud of their skin color. The results are telling

March 3, 2023 | | Print Article

Marxist-inspired progressive Democrats have wielded race as perhaps their most effective weapon in undermining and otherwise dividing American society.

A video making the rounds of a group of white people and a group of black people being asked if they are proud of their skin color is a testament to how thoroughly the left has succeeded here.

Many believe that from the moment Barack Obama weighed in on behalf of his black friend, belligerent Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr, to say police acted “stupidly” in arresting him — even though Obama admitted he did not know the facts in the case — race relations in American have been declining ever since. The former president poured gasoline on that fire when he declared that if he had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin, after the black teen was killed during a struggle with Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

Toxic critical race theory has thrived in this atmosphere and is now embedded in many, if not most institutions of higher learning in America via diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) principles written into employment and admission policies. One of the key components of critical race theory — the end game here being retribution —  is contrition from white people, who are inherently racist from birth, according to CRT proponents.

As for the aforementioned video, black pride is alive and well — even celebrated. White pride, on the other hand, will quickly get you labeled a white supremacist or white nationalist, and likely get you canceled altogether.

The groups of young people react to the question with their feet, moving further right or left depending on the intensity of their belief. All six black participants move all the way to their right, which indicates that they “strongly agree” that they are proud of their skin color. They celebrate the unity and cheer each other on.

The group of six white people, on the other hand, show just how much they have been conditioned to see the color of their skin as a detriment. Not a single one moves even a step to their right, while three quickly move to the line on the left indicating that they “disagree.” The other three remain in the center, asking if that was acceptable. Eventually, a young man takes a step to his left to indicate he “somewhat disagrees” while a woman moves a single step to her right to indicate that she “somewhat agrees” that she’s proud of her skin color — the only one of six to do so.

America is being divided by race, and many white people are becoming subservient having been conditioned to not only believe that racism is embedded in American society, but that it’s exclusive to their race alone. Furthermore, they are being told that they bear the burden for actions that took place generations earlier, even centuries earlier — think reparations.

There is a clear double standard in America, courtesy of a compromised media, where “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams is canceled for pointing to 47% of black respondents in a poll not agreeing that it’s “okay to be white” to call that hate and say white people should reject people who think like that, but Elie Mystal, a regular MSNBC guest can pen a column titled, “I Am Not Ready to Reenter White Society.”

Talking about one of the “benefits of the pandemic,” Mystal wrote in 2021 that he had been able to “exclude” whiteness from his day-to-day life.

“Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time,” he said. “I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to.”

After trashing police for hunting down black people, Mystal added, “White people haven’t improved; I’ve just been able to limit my exposure to them. I’ve turned my house into Wakanda: a technically advanced, globally isolated home base from which I can pick and choose when and how often to interact with white people.”

The difference between Adams and Mystal? Adams is white and Mystal is black.

Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder once said we are a nation of cowards when it comes to talking about race — though he was referring to a political agenda, not an honest discussion. For far too long white people have proven Holder right in the sense that they did not dare to touch what is a clear third rail in politics today, Scott Adams being the end result of such a foray. At the same time, if they do not summon the courage soon, they may not longer be a player in any such discussions.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
