In a recent post I quoted Kurt Schlichter about how the Left is pushing white America and he observed they were playing with fire because of the white people rediscover tribalism it's all over for the Left and for the minorities who are the foot soldiers of their movement.

Dana Mathewson agrees:

Right! The Joy Reids of the world are playing with fire and don't know it.

Tim responds:

Indeed they are Dana. For the last seventy five years minorities made huge strides in America and that was entirely by favor of the majority. I've spoken with (and listened to) many black people who are under the delusion that they somehow forced white America to change policies for them. They think it was because they were so strong and so tough and we feared them and so cravenly changed the laws and the culture to protect ourselves. Nothing can be further from the truth; the civil rights movement only flourished because it tapped into white guilt, and that movement was at it's core white people who felt bad about how minorities had been treated. It was never bottom up - it was always top down.

I would add that there are many blacks who claim they cannot be racist because racism "presupposes power". So they admit to a lack of power. But if they lack power now how did the civil rights era ever begin if it worked the way they claim? You can't force anything without power.

You will notice that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was just twenty years after WWII, and no doubt the war was the impetus for this transition in American thinking. We had fought Hitler and seen first hand the ugliness of a society where race alone was the determinant of society.

So I say again it was by favor of the white majority; blacks did not have any power to make that happen. Yet here we are with many black influencers pushing for what will amount to a civil war between races in this country. Well, if pushed too far the majority will find it's tribal roots as Caucasians - and considering that only 14.4% of people identify as black in this country, they are not likely to win in a civil war. Oh, and Asians will join the white majority, and probably a majority of Hispanics too.

People like Reid are absolutely bonkers if they think they can win should it come to this. Their only hope is to bluff, acting more confident than they have any right to be. But that won't last long if white America has decided they have had enough.

Ditto in Europe. And Australia and New Zealand.

Many black folks have an illusion of strength that they do not possess. I would point out that real strength lies in good character and in knowledge - both of which are eschewed in some circles in the black community as "too white". Good luck with that!
