NYT: calling for genocide is 'mostly peaceful' murder
|
[Hot Air] The New York Times is committed to finding "dog whistles" whenever a conservative speaks.
Opposing rioting is a dog whistle for racism. Trump asking his followers to "peacefully and patriotically" protest an election he believed was stolen was actually a call for a violent insurrection. Putting criminals in jail is systemic racism.
But when Black South African politicians call for the murder of people for being White, it is racist to think he is calling for the murder of people for being White.
Speech not calling for violence is dangerous; speech demanding violence shouldn’t be taken literally either.
That actually sounds kinda racist to me, assuming that Black people are incapable of saying what they mean. Apparently, the Times believes that Black people cannot understand that violent language can be interpreted as calls for violence.
You probably have heard of the controversy over Julius Malema, the leader of the South African political party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), leading a crowd in a rousing rendition of a song calling for the wholesale murder of "Boers," as Dutch settlers in South Africa are called. The chant in the song is "Kill the Boers!)
