[lbo-talk] White Supremacy (was Tim Wise)

[c b]

John Halle: "Being attuned to racial sensitivity is a job Wise takes
seriously, as can be seen in Wise’s blog entries and numerous tweets.
A large fraction of these involve policing the left for any claim,
phrase, indeed, any word which could be construed as insufficiently
informed by the historical injustices and atrocities visited on POCs
(to use Wise’s preferred acronym).    Wise does not merely make note
of these. Acting as judge and jury, Wise reaches a verdict, imposes a
sentence on those he has found guilty, and the sentence is often
death."

CB: And Tim Wise has splendid judgement in this area. So-called white
leftists like John Halle should be emulating Wise, not criticizing
him, let alone criticizing him in petty liberal terms. Oh he's too
judgemental . Get a clue, John Halle. Anyway , your position ends up
racist in this exchange, liberal racism , John Halle ( see critiques
of liberal racists from the 1960's)

"This is, unfortunately, not an exaggeration.  When those who raised
concerns-soon borne out-of the potential of objectively reactionary
governance from the Obama administration enabled and aggravated by its
deadening effect on mass movements, they were described by Wise as
having “become such an encumbrance as to render (them) all but useless
to the liberation movement” prospective recipients of “a burning they
will richly deserve."

^^^^^

CB; Earth to John Halle. The Obama administration is not reactionary.
The tea Republicans are; there close to fascist. wake the fuck up, u
NeverNeverland "leftist".Come down out of those Yale Ivory Towers.
Wise words from Tim Wise.

"This is not the only death threat to be found in Wise’s oeuvre."

CB: u r a clown

John Halle: "Another was addressed to those who “insist they aren’t
racist because they have black friends.  I am going to shoot them,”
Wise declared. While these were among the more direct and possibly
legally actionable incitements, the violent tone of his discourse
suggests that Wise fantasizes his targets being subjected to lynching,
or at least necklacing, as poetic justice for what he takes as their
complicity in crimes against peoples of color.

CB: How ridiculous
