Charging a “White Tax”
A restaurant owner in New Orleans decided to charge white customers extra for their meals for a month in order to “raise awareness of racial wealth differences in the country.”271 A study done five years earlier alleged that black people earned 54% less money than whites in the city, so the owner (who is originally from Nigeria) figured he’d charge whites $18 more for a meal to make up the difference.
Whites were “encouraged” to pay the extra fee, but it wasn’t mandatory (because that would get the business owner in trouble for violating federal discrimination laws), but he says that almost 80% of white customers that month chose to pay the extra fee!
Because I could see the progression of the anti-white racism liberals were promoting, I conducted an experiment in 2015 which you can view on my YouTube channel where I approached random people on the boardwalk in San Diego and asked them if they would support a new “White Privilege Tax” which would add an additional 1% tax onto the income of white people in order to fund social welfare programs for minorities.272
Plenty of people were happy to sign it. You can watch the video for yourself on my YouTube channel, and I hope you’ll check it out regularly for new videos almost every day.273
“Too Many White People”
When President Trump nominated a judge for the U.S. District Court of South Carolina, Senator Chuck Schumer announced he wasn’t going to vote for him because the judge is white.274 Schumer complained that his nomination “speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary,” and he was upset that the nominee would replace a black judge who President Obama appointed. Schumer went on to complain that the majority of the people Trump nominated for federal judges were also white.
Barack Obama did his best to appoint as many black and latino people to positions of power as he could, despite their lack of qualifications and there being a variety of other people more qualified for the job. People like Attorney General Eric Holder, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, along with many federal judges and cabinet secretaries, were all basically affirmative action hires and Obama’s attempt to add more “diversity,” favoring their race over their qualifications.
White People to the Back
A Canadian music festival called the Halifax Pop Explosion officially apologized for what they said was a racist white woman who refused to move to the back row when a performer demanded that all white people near the front give up their seats to non-whites before she began her show.
You read that correctly. The singer wanted all white people to give up their seats for non-whites and move to the back, and when one white woman refused, she was labeled a racist. The festival’s vice chairman later apologized to the singer and the other attendees for the white woman “interrupting” the show and for being “aggressive and racist.”275
Moving the white people to the back rows was a reference to black people being forced to sit in the back of the bus during racial segregation in the 1950s, and a way for the singer to “pay back” white people and “show them how it feels” by being racist herself. As I said before, liberals don’t want to end racism, they want to use racism for their own ends.
We Need More “Diversity”
“Diversity” is a code word for less white people, or to be more specific, less straight white people. It’s so over-used by social justice warriors that those of us who have a brain can’t help but roll our eyes every time we hear it. But Illinois governor Bruce Rauner loves diversity so much, he demonstrated his commitment to it during Black History Month by drinking chocolate milk at an event. He had a glass of milk sitting on the table in front of him and said that it represented the white men who run businesses.
“This chocolate syrup represents diversity,” he said, as he poured it into the glass, sinking to the bottom. “When you look at most organizations, diversity sits at the bottom of the organization [and] you don’t get inclusion until you actually stir it up.” He then stirred it, picked up the glass, and took a drink, proud of his idiotic analogy.276
Social justice warriors at a New York high school successfully pressured administrators to shut down the production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” play in the name of diversity because the lead role was awarded to a white student after the auditions. The school district released a statement saying the cancelation was part of an attempt to “be more inclusive and culturally responsive.”277
An editor at the Huffington Post bragged on Twitter that their goals for the month were to publish pieces from “less than 50% white authors.”278 Uber’s chief brand officer wants more “diversity” in the company, saying, “I want white men to look around in their office and say, ‘Oh look, there’s a lot of white men here. Let’s change this.’”279
The Big Tech companies are obsessed with diversity, which flies in the face of federal discrimination laws that are supposed to prohibit companies from not hiring people based on their race, but when it comes to discrimination against white people, everyone seems to think that’s okay.
The Charity Commission, a nonprofit watchdog in the UK, encouraged charities to darken up so they “reflect the communities they serve,” after they determined there were too many white people helping with local charities and felt they needed to “promote diversity”280 Yep, too many white people helping out black communities! How racist!
The BBC thinks that the latest gun control movement in the United States involving the Parkland high school kids is “too white.”281 And some black people are apparently also upset that some of the protesters use the phrase “Don’t Shoot,” which was originally used by Black Lives Matter.
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes complained that President Trump’s proposed immigration reform plan would keep America predominantly white for 5 more years.282 The Left are determined to overthrow the white majority in America as soon as possible and are furious that ending illegal immigration will slow down their agenda. During a speech denouncing Trump’s plan and talking about how “great” immigrants are, Nancy Pelosi said that her grandson wished he had brown skin and brown eyes because he sees people of color as special.283
Star Wars: Rogue One actor Riz Ahmed thinks that a lack of diversity in television shows is “alienating young people” and “driving them towards extremism and into the arms of ISIS.”284 He believes if young Muslims don’t see characters who look like them on TV, they won’t be able to connect with the show, and will, “retreat to fringe narratives, to bubbles online and sometimes even off to Syria.”285
Liberals are even complaining about wanting more “diversity” in spin class at the gym. “Is your spin class too young, too thin and too white?” asked the Washington Post.286 The story recounted the horrifying experience of a black woman who signed up for a class in New York, and on the first day found she was the only black person there. “I didn’t have another woman who looked like me, who understood my struggles, [or] my insecurities, she cried.287
