Meanwhile, it is a 100% certainty, not 99%, but 100%, that Berea College administrators and professors would recoil in horror at the prospect of hosting an event focusing on the threat of jihad violence and Sharia oppression. In the extraordinarily unlikely off-chance that such an event were scheduled, it would be inundated with charges of “Islamophobia” and “racism” to the extent that most students would not attend, for fear of the social stigma attached to going. But this? Demonizing and smearing half the American electorate? That’s just fine. And of course it plays right into the agenda of the political and media elites, who have embarked upon a clear initiative to defame all supporters of the former president as “extremists,” as they did previously with foes of jihad terror and Sharia injustice, and destroy them accordingly. The U.S. is entering an extremely dark period, but it has been a long time in the offing.
“Kentucky college hosting event describing ‘white citizenship’ and ‘Trumpism’ as terrorism,” by Sam Dorman, Fox News, March 12, 2021:
A Kentucky college is scheduled to host an event critical of Donald Trump and associating the former president and “white citizenship” with terrorism.
A flyer obtained by Young America’s Foundation (YAF) describes the event as a way to “resituate Trumpism and white citizenship as forms of white terrorism enacted against the majority of people living within the borders of the U.S. and beyond.”
Titled “White citizenship as terrorism: Make America Great Again, Again,” the event is set to take place on March 17 via Zoom, according to a page on Berea College’s website. The Women’s and Non-Gender Non-Conforming Center is sponsoring the session with the Law, Ethics, and Society at the college.
YAF said it obtained the flyer through its Campus Bias Tip Line. It features images of protesters carrying tiki torches at the racially charged Charlottesville, Virginia, protests at the beginning of Trump’s presidency.
The flyer also takes a critical approach to the “Make America Great Again” slogan. “Despite calls for multiculturalism and color-blindness, segments of white America mourn their so-called loss of privilege, consistently begging to return to the nostalgic past in which their esteemed value as white citizens went unquestioned,” it reads.
“Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ appears to follow suit by offering a seemingly benign promise to return America to a previously ‘great’ past. But the offer to ‘Make America Great Again, Again,’ requires we refocus on how the last four years of daily tweets and administrative actions redefine whiteness. If terrorism is defined as the use of violence and threats to create a state of fear towards particular communities and identities, then this is what ‘Trumpism’ is at its core.”
Berea defended the event in a statement to Fox News Thursday.
“To some, the provocative title of the event implies that Berea is not a welcoming place for individuals with differing political views,” a statement from the college read….
More than “implies,” you fascists.

Kentucky? It’s not even remotely a blue state (although it has a Dem governor) but we have a college there woke enough to give Berkeley, Rutgers or UCSC a run for their money?
I think we should get together w/ Canada and divide the 2 countries into red and blue. In red, have all the red states of the US, as well as the Canadian provinces west of Ontario, and make them one country, and make Trump its president. Take the blue states of the US – CA, OR, WA, NM, CO, IL, and all the states from ME to Northern Virginia’s Fairfax and Loudoun counties, combine it w/ the eastern half of Canada from Ontario to Newfoundland and make it the other country, and make Justin Trudeau its president, Kamala its VP and all other Dems and Liberal Dems in various offices. Make DC the capital of the latter country, and for the former country, have multiple capitals for multiple departments of the government. Blue cities in red states – arrange a population transfer so that conservatives in blue states can swap places w/ leftists in red ones. Then we’ll separate, and the Left can have their open borders w/ Mexico. We’ll have walls from the borders of Washington to California, as well as b/w South Virginia and North Viriginia. For Pennsylvania, let Philly join the blues, while the rest of the state stays w/ red America.
Once these 2 countries are created, the Left can have their open borders all they want, while the conservatives will have an ironclad country where citizens get the first priority, and then only legal immigration of people who genuinely want to become Americans are accepted. While foreign ‘refugees’ can flood the blue country
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Sounds a little bit like what the Visegrad Group is already doing with their EU membership…
gravenimage says
There are more Anti-Jihadists than you might think in California.
James Lincoln says
That’s true, gravenimage.
While on active duty Navy, I spent some time at NAS Lemoore, California. This is located in Kings County, where 55% of voters supported Pres. Trump in the 2020 US presidential election.
Lots of anti-jihadists there, and I’m sure in other “red” counties in California…
LB says
If the accounts of numerous Americans that I’ve interacted with online are to be trusted, there are actually no blue states, only blue cities. Even in California and New York, shockingly enough, the countrysides are red. So it’s not enough to simply divide the countries, you also need to exchange the populations.
But that then raises another question: How are you supposed to identify who is who? Moreover, how do you prevent the democratic refugees fleeing the shitholes they created? Blue-to-red exodus is already in full swing as we speak, turning the red states blue from the inside, so how do you prevent them from coming over to the new red country? The only way I see that working is to permanently ban every single person from the opposite new blue country from ever becoming a red citizen, which pretty much dooms every actual red person who was unfortunate enough to get stuck in the blue hell prior to the divide. Conversely, how are you supposed to verify the claims of people from the blue country that they are actually red deep down?
While the divide sounds good on paper, and I do support the sentiment, it would most likely be a disaster in practice because the only way to maintain the red integrity would be to implement insanely draconian anti-blue counter-measures, which would inevitably lead to a totalitarian regime. I’m not sure if that’s the way it should be because avoiding totalitarianism was the reason for the divide in the first place.
FairPlay GoodGuy says
I think the problem is urban values are in conflict with rural values. If that is the case splitting territories up with Canada won’t fix things or at least not permanently. I think we need cities to govern themselves separately from the rest of the states. Even in California and new York, all the counties are red except the city counties

The Zoom event is open to everyone who cares to register?
Don’t sit on your hands.

Perhaps Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, can send someone from his staff to check on this…

No university should be funded which seeks to stop or remove the freedom of expression.
D Dawson says
Thought it was an International Human Rights Violation for discriminating and targeting a political parties supporters equal to treating them like political dissidents? Don’t know but definitely a concerted effort to destroy, de-platform, silence, & re-educate 70 million people.
mortimer says
The urge to punish white people for past ills of slavery and other forms of discrimination that ended generations ago is merely a power grab by a political party. The Dems are hoping to demonize Republicans and then wipe them out of existence so that there is only a one-party system.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
My grandparents, on both sides, immigrated into United States from Western Europe well after slavery in the U.S. had ended. They were all white.
With this family history, as a white male, is someone still going to try to “punish” me for the past ills of slavery in the United States? Will my tax dollars be used for “reparations”?
Infidel says
James
Or alternatively, Obama, Ilhan Omar both had parents who immigrated here long after slavery ended. Why would they be representative of descendants of slaves?
James Lincoln says
Good point, Infidel.
gravenimage says
Yes, James. Even the descendants of abolitionists and those who fought in the Civil War to free the slaves will be on the hook for “reparations” if this ever passes–and those like Kamala Harris and Obama, who have no slave ancestors, will benefit.

owensgate says
“Reparations” in praise of stupidity. The whole idea is so fraught with not-so-well-thought-out problems it defies all reason. They should answer a few questions first: Do Blacks whose ancestors fought for the Union get reparations? What hue of black skin color divides the payees from the payers? Do Blacks whose ancestors OWNED slaves qualify? Or is it that since the Civil War only moved Slavery from the Private Sector to the Public Sector, current Public Owners being the Democrat Party, this is nothing less than a wealth transfer from Conservatives to Democrat Leftist/Liberals?
tgusa says
This is a threefer, racism, sexism and bigotry all in one workshop. It saves money doing it that way. Regarding gender talk there is a new movement out there called Super Straight and that movement is demanding the same tolerance and inclusion that the other 157 genders are demanding.
Regarding slavery, the slavery supporting democrat party is trying to spread the blame on everyone. Its not our fault, its everybody’s fault. The primary difference between blacks in slavery back then and blacks in slavery now is democrats used to confine them but now they allow them free range and sadly many blacks accept that.
Proud to be white (and not a democrat), I am.
Infidel says
I’m not White, but I’ll happily go w/ Super Straight!
somehistory says
If this keeps going in this insane and evil direction, there will be lynch mobs out to get all White people for nothing more than being alive.
Worse than any racism has ever been in this country, imo.
More and more idiots are saying how “ashamed” they are to be in a White skin.
As I have said before, “God made us.” “God is not partial.” As a garden has flowers, and even some leaves, of different colors and shades of colors, so does the human race. A garden with a lot of color variety is the most beautiful.
The color of one’s skin is nothing to cause shame; it’s the evil actions and attitudes; and there are plenty of people of all skin tones who could use some attitude adjustment and some cleaning up of their actions.
We are in dangerous waters here.
tgusa says
I have always lived in a predominantly (non democrat) white area. Non whites of all types move in because of the cleaner safer environment they want for themselves and their families. White hate is nothing new. Decades ago it was not safe for whites to go in to inner city (democrat) black communities. It wouldn’t take long for the word to get out that there was a white person in the area. Now in California asians are being attacked by blacks and the left (democrats) are trying to blame that on whites. I’m sure you can see the pattern here.
It is really not so much about race as it is about democrats. You will never see these democrat communities elect a representative that doesn’t fit the profile of the community. If I set out to build a desirable community the main thing I would ban would be democrats of any persuasion. If you travel in to democrat communities the first thing you notice is the segregated areas by race. In real life democrats cannot get along with each other. You will see their leaders faking a united front giving speeches and when the speech is done they all go back to their respective communities. The democrat party is first and foremost a racialist party. If white democrats are ashamed to be white they should move out of the democrat white community in these cities. That would be a way to thin their own herd.
somehistory says
Being from the South, I have heard more about racism since becoming an adult than I ever saw growing up. There were no Blacks in our elementary or secondary schools and when we went to town, it was possible to go through areas where only Black people resided. But there was no danger to us from these people. My father would wave as he drove by and they would wave in return. My mother had a very good friend who was Black and taught her how to cook.
Later on, when I was a teenager, I attended what might be called a “trade school” and it was fully integrated. I was threatened with violence from one of the Blacks during that time, but I reported it and things were worked out. Nothing happened to me.
I have lived in mostly Black neighborhoods…one being called the “hood” by those Blacks who lived there.. For the most part, I was treated with respect and didn’t go about afraid or being threatened.
What I was referring to in my other comment is this: because bm is busy all over the country, and is basically being allowed to commit crimes and be praised for doing so, and so many Whites are saying they are “ashamed” of being White and the rest of us should be too, it won’t be long before mobs will be out to get whatever White person won’t say they are ashamed, this will happen in White areas and no one will come along to put an end to it.
tgusa says
What you say I know from experience is true. Outside of the South it is different and I don’t know why. Most people probably think it is the other way around. My great grandmother in Mississippi has a black woman as a cook who had her own home on the property. Best cook in the world I thought, still do. Loved her biscuits and she was a really good person. Spent time in the kitchen with her many times and I grew up to be a pretty good cook too.
somehistory says
My mother made the best biscuits. cornbread, chicken,…and so many other dishes and I know she gave her friend the credit for teaching her..;She inherited the friend from her own mother while she was just a young girl.
If only those people who wish to make trouble… rapid dems, leftists, bm and antifa groups, and mo slums… would go live on Jupiter or Neptune, the rest of us…Black, White, and others, could get along just fine.

It is still not safe for whites to go in to inner city (democrat) black communities.

“lead the way towards the formation of a Queer Studies minor”
And I thought all of this weird crap was over with the end of the 70s. This is a perfect example of why democrats want to pay off some student debt. We used to call this a scam.
tgusa says
“Queer studies minor”
From New Mexico… Who do these newcomers think they are? It would take me under a week (taking my time) and perhaps a few dollars in books to pass her final exam. This is funny sad and so much more, I grew up in a ultra conservative (non democrat) middle class community where right in our midst was what at that time was called a gay community. Everyone knew it was there, gays knew everyone knew it was there. Nobody bothered them, they weren’t fearful in the least. If anyone went there they knew why they were going there. This was decades before San Francisco and their gay community materialized. I guess the message is, don’t move to a so-called liberal area, you will only end up with problems that never existed before.

Kentucky: Berea College hosting event describing ‘white citizenship’ and ‘Trumpism’ as terrorism
…………
So now not just voting for one of the main political party’s candidates, but even just being a “white citizen” makes you a terrorist? Does it matter that 56% of Berea College’s students are white? Of course not…
Dr. John says
When I was in college studying for my EE degree, i had to take an elective from one of the no brainer categories. A sociology class was on the list and was offered in the summer as an 8 week class, so i took it.
The professor was a white female who was pro affirmative action, anti-police etc. Shortly after I graduated a friend of mine told me that she lived in an all white neighborhood and when a black family moved in her house was the first to go up for sale.

Randall,
These Lefties with “smarter than thou” attitude just love to have contrarian thought and ideas.
You see, they are out to change the world just like China, North Korea et al. To me, they are hardened brutes like Islamic zealots.
Raja says
Reparation is just a Euphemism for lawlessness. That a college should be in the forefront of espousing Leftist ideals is shocking to say the least.
Mankind has had all kinds of reparations for wrongs of the past. The outward looking societies will not move anywhere, Self examination helps. At one extreme is genocide another is economic exploitation.
Those with genocidal ideologies and methodologies like Islam is the real culprit. Those states and its actors that practiced genocide are dead and gone. Ideologies can be challenged and made to mend fences. The rest should not worry about it as man tends to be exploitative at every move anyhow.
Dem-rats don’t seem to have any other business than bringing in more misery by unleashing divisive forces.
I always (since I became adult) believe that none of us have a choice of where we are to be born, to whom to be born and so on. So why bother about it?
