Title: We Won't Accept Your Money if You're White
Post by: Ben on March 22, 2018, 06:48:01 PM
Okay, let's have a company put out a notice that they will "not accept money from black women" and see how that goes. Pretty soon I won't be able to buy stocks because I'm the wrong gender and color.

What if there's a company that wants to invest, but all of its diverse people of color are male vegans?

What if the investor is a black woman, but has a white guy who writes the checks?  I guess that combo would be unacceptable.

 "“It was counterintuitive for us to raise money from a bunch of white guys who want to extract all the value from the world,” said Mr. McFedries"

Yeah, because everyone knows that blacks and women don't care about value. At all. They just love giving money away.  :facepalm:

That's fine, I don't like doing business with racists anyway.

Sure is a good thing we live in a country where a private business can choose to deal with other people, or not, for any reason they want, including the color of their skin, with no government interference at all.


......Oh wait.

While some might say these kinds of things, popping up so much, are just part of the "crazy 24/7 news cycle", I actually see them as a bit more ominous. When you see how widespread this "anti-racism and pro-diversity" stuff is, you also see that it's exactly the opposite that they claim.

It's not, "We're protesting racist white men". It's, "We hate all white men just because". This is not like the racism against black people we may have seen in the 1970s - this is the kind of racism we saw in the 1870s. They are preaching total segregation and denial of rights. If this keeps up, soon there will be "no whites allowed" water fountains so people don't catch "toxic white masculinity".

These people aren't talking equality.

Yep, they want to bring back Plessy v Ferguson.

These people have decided that life is a zero-sum game and are going to act on it. They believe that, in order to "win" at life, they have to make other people "lose". So they are working on on ensuring other people "lose". (Because that's all they need to do to "win".)

This is why I've been saying that anti-white racism has become a more serious problem than racism against blacks and browns. Not because there's much of a body count, but because it's accepted and encouraged by so many influential people and institutions.

Still, I'm not sure how successful they can be. Economically, and in other ways, it's a lot easier to discriminate against a small minority that has little social or political influence, and little money to spend with your business, if you let them. White males may not make up a majority, but we're still a pretty large group, and with a lot more influence and market share than blacks had in the segregation era.
