What is Whiteness
Mike Kierath observes:
I just heard too much Whiteness doesn’t mean that you have too much Americanness .
White People think they own America .
This is from a NY Congressman.
Tim adds:
Who settled the country? Who fought the Revolution? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? Who fought the War of 1812, or the Civil War? Yes, there were people of color throughout that, but the vast majority of what we consider "Americanness" came from dead white guys.
Again, there were great contributions from "people of color" throughout our history but the fact is what the Left now calls "whiteness" was the core of America and only came to be a pejorative in the last couple of years as it is a way of backdoor destroying this country. This is clearly an attempt to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
America has done so very much for so very many. The whole world wants to come here and live among us. That isn't true in any African nation, certainly. "Whiteness" is ill-defined, but we must assume it means the culture, traditions, history, and way of thinking and living that was the foundational principle of America. The two are intertwined. And it appears "blackness" is a counter-cultural thing; black people who seek to succeed by following the rules of Americanism are "Uncle Toms" and "acting white". So it is not really about race at all but a worldview and culture that is used to be dominant and made America the envy of the world.
Now we are going to impose a new culture, a new heritage, one more in line with the hellholes in other parts of the world. Yeah; that'll work out just fine!

These people who obsess over "whiteness" are just disgruntled that "their people" didn't create... well, Western Civilization, when you get down to it. I think it's as simple as that. God gave the prescription for Western Civilization to the Jews, in the form of the Ten Commandments and follow-up instructions in Deuteronomy. And though some radicals like to claim that Jesus was black, it's not so. The Hebrews were a close-knit society that didn't intermarry -- except very occasionally -- with outsiders; and the fact that they weren't black can be seen in The Song of Songs, where the African bride contrasts her blackness to the "Daughters of Jerusalem" who were Solomon's other wives.

Well said Dana! I agree on all fronts.
I had an argument with a guy who insisted Jesus was black. I quoted multiple scriptures, talked about the ethnic heritage of Abraham and the rest. Didn't matter. He believed what he wanted to believe and that was that. Said the modern Jews are all Ashkenazi, but that the original Jews came out of Africa. I pointed out that Abraham was from Ur in Mesopotamia, and he had some crazy obscure argument. How do you debate someone who simply rewrites the Bible and uses his rewrite as "proof"?

Not much you can do in a situation like that. You can't fix stupid.

Not legally, at any rate. One does sometimes wish for a suspension of the rules of civilization for a short time...

Why not? The Left does it all the time.

That they do Dana. They are essentially barbarians.
