That's a figment of the media. The "far right" and the huge collection of "white supremacists" that have been drummed up as some huge evil plot in America has, as far as I can tell, zero basis in reality.

Note that basically everything done by white people is a "far right" "white supremacist" plot. E.g., AOC refers to the (hilarious) "insurrection" (the unarmed, leaderless one that waltzed into some of the most protected space on earth with nary a problem) as a "white supremacist" plot.

If you buy that, you're an instrument, played like a fiddle.

Here's absolute proof. n-gram frequencies in the NYTimes: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019/06/th...

Occupy, as derision-worthy as it was, saw a broad coalition of Americans--blacks, whites, latino, straight, gay, trans--all get together to push back against Team Elite.

Then the entirely tiny group of people who control the media (and hate us, apparently) got together and pushed endless identity bullshit on us.

First, the book is a hilarious Kafka trap. It's explicit basis is this: All whites are racist, and any white that denies this is demonstrating "fragility", and therefore is even MORE racist than whites that admit they're racist.

See the trap? If you deny you're racist, it's proof that you're actually even more racist.

The second part I want to point out, as someone who actually read this absolute rubbish, is that D'Angelo is absolutely hardcore racist. She, for example, spends an intro to a chapter explaining how she was invited to some event at a public park, and upon arrival, she saw two large groups of people, one black, the other white. For a brief moment, she describes, she was stricken with anxiety, worried that the group she was meeting might be the black group.

She extrapolates her own internal racism to the default state of all white people.

Seriously, read the book. She's out of her tree. Anybody recommending this book either hasn't read it and is virtue signalling, or has read it and is so deep into the magisterium of the Church of Woke that they're not worth trying to save.
