CNN: Everyone Who Voted For Trump Is A ‘White Supremacist By Default’

CNN used the voices of a few professors and activists to assert anyone who voted for President Donald Trump is a white supremacist in a news report Wednesday, and to blame these “ordinary” people for the violence in Charlottesville.

Trump voters helped advance white supremacy by giving them room to operate, CNN reported based on the assertions of others in a piece headlined, “‘White Supremacists by default’: How ordinary people made Charlottesville possible.”

“It’s easy to focus on the angry white men in paramilitary gear who looked like they were mobilizing for a race war in the Virginia college town,” CNN reported. “But it’s the ordinary people — the voters who elected a reality TV star with a record of making racially insensitive comments, the people who move out of the neighborhood when people of color move in, the family members who ignore a relative’s anti-Semitism — who give these type of men room to operate.”

CNN put the weight of the assertion on the views of what they described as “activists, historians and victims of extremism,” but made no visible effort to question their assertions or provide a counter point of view. Fordham University professor Mark Naison’s, for example, is quoted prominently in the piece accusing tens of millions of Americans of being white supremacists.

 

“We are a country with a few million passionate white supremacists — and tens of millions of white supremacists by default,” Naison told CNN. He’s a political activist and history professor. He compared all Trump voters to “nice people” who facilitated the horrific violence of the Holocaust and the genocide in Rwanda by looking the other way.

“That was the twisted formula that made the Holocaust and Rwanda possible and allowed Jim Crow segregation to survive: Nice people looked the other way while those with an appetite for violence did the dirty work,” CNN reports, paraphrasing Naison. “You have to have millions of people who are willing to be bystanders, who push aside evidence of racism, Islamophobia or sexism. You can’t have one without the other.”

In continuing with the theme of being upset over the election still, CNN makes sure to help Trump look better by declaring Trump voters (especially the ones who got Obama elected twice, who then turned and voted for Trump) racists.

 

I really hope this message sticks around through 2018. :lol:

Clemson Professor Claims All Republicans Are ‘Racist Scum’

 

A Clemson University professor has declared all Republicans and supporters of Donald Trump to be nothing less than “racist scum” in a bile-filled series of public posts on Facebook. The professor also called for political violence “against white supremacy.”

Bart Knijnenburg, an assistant professor in Human-Centered Computing for Clemson University, expressed his hatred towards Republicans and doubled down when others in his Facebook timeline asked him to clarify his statements, which have since been hidden.

In a report published Wednesday, Campus Reform captured screenshots of his tirade before he made his Facebook account private.

“All republicans? Yes,” he wrote. “Your complacency made this happen. Pick a side: denounce your affiliation, or admit you’re a racist.”

 

“I haven’t seen any of them renounce their political affiliation yet,” said the professor in response to a former student who suggested he was making an unfair generalization towards conservatives. “In fact, all of them fell in line with Trump once he became president. They selectively criticize him when it is politically convenient to do so, but they don’t take any actual sustained actions.”

He told anyone who doubts his claims that all Republicans are racist to “come live in the south for awhile.” He added his belief that the GOP’s meritocratic views are inherently racist.

“The republican ideology of ‘everyone is equal and nobody deserves a handout’ is naïve at best, covertly racist at worst,” he said. “I truly believe that anyone turning a blind eye makes you complicit in what is happening now.”

In a separate post, he equated President Trump, his voters, the GOP, and former chief White House strategist Steve Bannon to “Nazis,” the “KKK,” and the “alt-Right.” He called them all racists.

  If CNN is fake news, as is often claimed, why such a reaction? I don't react to fake news sites like FOX, because it's obvious malarkey.

 

  I really hope this didn't hit a nerve for anyone.

More snow is on the way.
