Is America A ‘Source Of White Supremacy?’

[Common]

The claim that white supremecy is on the rise is just more poopoococky from the left

Appearing on Monday night’s episode of “The Story With Martha MacCallum,” the The Diversity Delusion author responded to Fox News host Martha MacCallum’s question about the common assertion from the political left that white supremacy is “on the rise.”

“Do you think that is true?” MacCallum asked.


Pointing to recent footage of Chelsea Clinton being confronted, Mac Donald said: “The left is so determined to try to paint America as a source of white supremacy when, in fact, there is virtually no institutional support for these handful of kooks that are insane. They are violating the very premises of Western Civilization.”

After stating that we “are all on campus now” because of the increasing inability to speak about such issues, Mac Donald cited the real hate crime statistics:


The number of reported hate crimes—and we don’t know how many of those are Jussie Smollett hoaxes—last year was identical to what it was 10 years ago when there were 25 million fewer people in the United States and many fewer reporting agencies. And if you go 10 years before that, you have 3,000 more hate crimes reported. The idea that there has been some surge in hate, much less white supremacist hate, is completely ridiculous.

This is about .0005 percent of all violent crimes in the United States,” said Mac Donald before questioning evening the Post’s “methodology.”
“[T]here are known categories, they don’t know what the motivation is,” she said. “Why they get to count those as extremist terror incidents, domestic terrorism when they may be your average guy going postal, I don’t know. But their numbers do not show a surge in white supremacist violence. It is preposterous.”

Mac Donald contended that “mainstream institutions” essentially brainwash students to think “white people are evil,” but as was evidenced by the Covington student scandal, “the hate is going in one direction.”

It may not be on the rise. Not sure, but it's certainly more apparent rather than being in the shadows.

I don't think it's on the rise but I agree it's more talked about. I don't know if that is or isn't a good thing. I think that the left is using it to brand many people, which isn't a good thing. I think that the #'s are so small that they are marginalized like the Klan but then again, I think that we shouldn't hide bad parts of our society either. I'm a transparency guy.

White supremacy, strictly speaking, is marginal but many views and statements are mischaracterized as indicative of such views. What exactly are we talking about?

I think it's more than "talked about". Some of these Cretens feel emboldened to be more in the open. I agree though that that is a good thing. People need to see and be aware of their toxic views.

It's kinda like the one Jurists statement on obscenity. It may not be readily definable but you know it when you see it.

Perhaps.

Most people like this want the spotlight, in the past the media has not really put it on them. There was a lot of media around these people right after the OK city bombing then the spotlight faded. These days with so many 24 hr news outlets and Soc Media, the spotlight stays on them and it seems that they are more active, as long as they have the spotlight they will work hard to keep it.

This is an example of why I believe the Left pushes it. It is one more method to shut down speech the left cannot tolerate. Speech very much like yours. Thanks for the example.

This is much like beauty, isn't it?
