| Mercer dares to speak the truth: 'Why conservatives ignore white-hating politics' |
| 2019-09-21 |
| [WND] In "It's Not 'Identity Politics,' It's Anti-White Politics," I questioned whether the term "identity politics" vaguely comports with our racial politics on terra firma. The answer was a resounding "no." For, "Whatever is convulsing the country, it's not identity politics. Blacks are not being pitted against Hispanics. Hispanics are not being sicced on Asians, and Ameri-Indians aren't being urged to attack the groups just mentioned. Rather, they're all piling on honky." Since the ire of America's multicultural multitudes is directed exclusively at whites and their putative privilege, not at each other, anti-white animus is the more appropriate term. The "identity politics" term is an elaborate construct hot-housed in the postmodernist university. Yet, commentators, conservatives too, cleave to abstracted definitions developed in citadels far removed from reality. Duly, the author of "Why Identity Politics Kills Democracy" harps on the "political selfishness" that comes with a "fanatical fetishization" of "group identity." "A politics of whiteness is a scourge. A Hispanic politics is a scourge. An LGBT politics is a scourge. A plutocratic politics is a scourge. A feminist politics is a scourge." The only "true politics," bewails our author, is one that "unites individuals under a single identity: citizen." |

| #1 We've reached the opportunist phase. That's when people who smell an opportunity climb the ladder by undercutting a more powerful white man start whispering outright lies and smears in the ears of the justice warriors, who then do the dirty work of bringing him down. This is playing out behind the scenes now across thousands of corporate offices, entertainment companies, newsrooms and TV stations, and university faculties. |
