New in PJ Media:
Race-hate huckster Robin DiAngelo, the white author of White Fragility, has come out for racial segregation, but don’t expect her to become the object of moral indignation and start getting canceled everywhere. DiAngelo supports the separation of the races in a way that our self-anointed moral superiors on the Left find acceptable: she says it’s necessary to protect poor “people of color” from dangerous white people (which would include DiAngelo herself).
DiAngelo was appearing on a webinar entitled “Racial Justice: The Next Frontier” that was hosted by Berrett-Koehler Publishers, which Breitbart described Tuesday as “an independent publisher that markets DEI literature to businesses.” DEI is, of course, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Left’s latest rebranding of what is actually coercion, socialism, and poverty. Appearing along with DiAngelo were two “DEI consultants,” Mareisha N. Reese and Mary-Frances Winters.
In that woke company, DiAngelo declared that “people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other.” Referring to racial segregation as “affinity,” she said she was a “big believer in affinity space and affinity work.” DiAngelo added that she wanted to “create a culture that actually spits out those who are resistant, as opposed to what it does now, which is spit out those who want to break with white solidarity.” In reality, we already have a culture that “spits out those who are resistant” to her message of racial hatred and resentment, but DiAngelo, in saying this, revealed yet again the Left’s authoritarian heart. In a Leftist perfect world (think Stalin’s Russia of the 1930s), “those who are resistant” are crushed: hauled before disinformation governance boards, de-platformed, banned, and silenced — and then come the criminal penalties.
We saw this recently with the mass cancellation of Scott Adams’ comic strip Dilbert over remarks that were actually quite like those that DiAngelo just made. Adams notoriously said that it was “OK to be white” and “based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people.”
The uproar against Adams was intense. Chris Quinn, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, called Adams’ statement “hateful and racist.” He added, “We are not a home for those who espouse racism. Adams’ reprehensible statements come during Black History Month, when The Plain Dealer has been publishing stories about the work being performed by so many to overcome the damage done by racist decisions and policy.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Will the “Whites Only” signs come back in her world?
Will Rosa Parks have to get off the bus, if 51% of the passengers are white?
Will airlines need “black planes” and “white planes”?
Will a blackness/whiteness color-chart be needed for “bi-racial” persons?
Will “whites” who get deep summer tans have to go “black”?
Will Linda Sarsour, a white who once identified as black, be forced to the white area?
Will there have to be all white basketball teams: LA Lakers-White and LA Lakers-Dark?
Will ‘the content of a man’s character’ be different for blacks and whites?
Will Robin DeAngelo be forced to be with the race she despises ?

We can only be certain that race hustlers and media will ride any wave of social unrest until there is no money to be had. Both “journalists” and race hustlers improve their incomes by promoting injustice, real or generated, to get readers and clicks. It’s always about wealth, who has it, and how to transfer some.
Keith O says
That’s a very good assessment of the situation.
It’s all about power & money.
Westman says
True, usually money then on to power. “House Of Cards”, had it right, the ultimate politician and activist aphrodisiac is power. It doesn’t matter what political system, the climbers get on top after becoming corrupted along the way.
However, once, at least, the young agencies of government were not corrupt. Now we have both corruption and incompetence from top to bottom. Not even our banking regulators are competent, waking up to banking trends after the Fed raises interest and sets off bank runs.

“Will Linda Sarsour, a white who once identified as black, be forced to the white area?”
Linda Sarsour? Maybe you mean
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal
By the way, is “sarsour” really the Arabic word for “cockroach”?
Keys says
Hi Mark –
Thanks for your response. I was not sure if I remembered correctly, but this time I did.

From JW on Sept 10, 2017: “Linda Sarsour: “If I want to say ‘I’m Black,’ I’m Black!”
Regarding the Arabic for “cockroach”: I do not know, but several knowledgeable posters here have said that is the translation.
James Lincoln says
Keys,
Google “translate” translates Sarsour as cockroach.
In my humble opinion, very accurate.

Before there was an understanding of the Sun’s thermonuclear furnace or of orbital mechanics, humans saw that the Sun appeared regularly as did the seasons. The observed effects were and are, more stably known than the causes. We still have no fusion power plants.
From historical observations, for whatever known and unknown reasons, different cultures will always have conflicts, large or small. Black and white, Muslim and unbeliever, Palestinian and Israeli, Russia and US, etc,
The notion that humans will solve racism is a lost cause. We, as individuals, have our personal unshared judgements that we often deny, yet, still exist. Our selection of a lifetime mate is the most obvious judicial action that we take by discriminating on the basis of race, religion, appearance, education, language, social-economic status, and perhaps, even body odor.
It is still transcendental for us to do our best, individually, to give all people equal opportunity and respect. However, the idea that we can group-punish humans to stop discrimination is just another fuel for war. Sadly, the current social animosities are being actively promoted by professional race hustlers who claim the opposite.
Keith O says
These smug individuals absolutely sicken me.
Social engineers who make their bones by telling everyone else how to fix their lives, finding solutions to problems that didn’t exist before they thought them up and creating chaos wherever the stick their noses in.
These are the morons who bring joy and happiness wherever they leave.
James Lincoln says
Keith O,
You’re right; these people have way too much time on their hands.
Wellington says
DiAngelo has made a ton of money from being a race hustler. She has no shame but, of course, she does have a lot of money, which she has probably convinced herself is nothing more than a deserved by-product of her overall nobility of mind and spirt.
Thus is the way of many hucksters. They fool others and often fool themselves. Arguably like DiAngelo, though it is possible she knows she’s a fraud. Whichever, she is one of many in contemporary American society doing immense harm by using race as a monumentally divisive factor.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
There is a lot of money to be made in race baiting.
Just ask Al Sharpton…
Keys says
Indeed, James Lincoln, and over 60 visits to the Obama White House for “community organizing” no doubt!

She went on to say that Wing advertised her books in a government meeting illegally.
“Are you aware that this is illegal for DoD employees to advertise and promote their personal books, that they will profit off of those sales?”
Cisneros said, “I’m not aware of that. But I can look into it, and I’ll get back to you.” “
OLD GUY says
The mouth peaces for causes really don’t want their cause to go away. That would yield them irrelevant and they would lose their highly profitable income and position of power. Just maybe if these race peddlers would shut up we would all get along better. Race prejudice is not going to go away, there will always be an asshole out there.
