Years ago, I was skimming the want ads on Monster, or a similar site and I kept seeing some version of “minorities and women are encouraged to apply” listed prominently in the ads. Like a lot of people, I thought this was just the new bullshit way for companies to announce their wonderfulness. This was back in the early Bush years, so we were not full-tilt Afro-worship yet. We were just at the start of this Great Progressive Awakening.
Just for laughs, I contacted one of the companies that listed a real e-mail address. I asked if the position was open to white men. I never expected a response as I was obviously trying to stir the pot. At least I thought it was obvious. I got back a nice reply from some woman explaining to me that as part of their diversity programs they would be looking for a “well-qualified” minority applicant.
In other words, they were not just displaying their piety, they were telling the honkies they were no longer welcome. The causal, matter of fact way it was written was what got me. The same people hooting and bellowing about racism thought it was just wonderful to openly display their hatred of white men, like it was a sign of enlightened thinking.
Anyway, I thought about that when I read this story linked on Drudge.
CBS’ new Nancy Drew will look very different should the network move forward with the reboot.
CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller revealed Tuesday that the network’s reimagining of the iconic character will be diverse.
“She is diverse, that is the way she is written,” the executive told THR immediately following his time in front of the press at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour Tuesday. While Geller said it was too early in the process to explain just what he meant by diverse — whether Nancy is African-American, Asian-American or Latino, he said it would hinge on finding the right actress for the part. “[She will] not [be] Caucasian,” he stressed. “I’d be open to any ethnicity.”
Any ethnicity except one with white skin. Imagine the reaction if the guy said, “we’re not going to cast a negro in the part.” After the requisite “storm on social media” the idiot would spend a week begging for forgiveness and then lose his job. Yet, hanging a sign out that reads “non-whites only” is celebrated like it is an achievement to be copied everywhere.
The only thing new here is the brazen way in which it is publicly stated. This Glenn Geller guy could very well be an idiot, but you see it everywhere in the media. The one group it is OK to shit on are whites and especially white men. The people who invented civilization are being run out of town in favor of people who have yet to figure out how to stack one brick upon another.
The foaming at the mouth hatred for while men is so over the top it is starting to feel like satire. Every TV commercial either features a mixed race couple (white women – non-white man), has a black guy cast as the hero or has the white guy as a dufus. The dopey white guy has become such a stock figure in the media, it looks strange when a normal white guy pops up on screen. It’s like seeing a leprechaun.
It was only a matter of time before white women joined the ranks of the unwanted. The phony-baloney rape hoax culture at colleges hilariously ignores assaults by black guys on white women. In fact, those are covered up because black trumps white, regardless of the sex involved. We’re seeing that in Europe where the elites are throwing a rape-a-paloosa so European girls can be assaulted by Arabs.
This will not end well.
I really have no problem with racism. I’m a firm believer in the freedom of association. The Civil Rights Act should be repealed. All anti-discrimination laws should be repealed. In short, we should, as our founders intended, be left to live in peace as we choose to live, rather than have politicians performing social experimentation. Much of the so called “anti-racist” are infuriating hypocrites, morally preening, while they stereotype and pigeon hole with the best of them. I find it refreshing when someone is directly honest about how they feel and what they think, without having to worry about signalling… Read more »
White men should stop defending the anti-White system.
I have zero interest in identifying as white, and think as little of Jared Taylor, as I do of Mr. Genius Coates. I think the proper response to fools is to demand they demonstrate their competence and ridicule them when they try to substitute ethnicity for reason and effort. Tim
You sound like someone who is bringing a knife to a gunfight, and trying to justify it.
Do you think Isaac Newton identified as ‘white’? One shouldn’t turn skin color into a major part of one’s ‘identity’ (of course, the politically correct do just that). There’s no need to build up – or tear down – ‘whiteness’. What we’re seeing with this Nancy Drew thing is a particular aversion to whiteness. We’re seeing something unnatural and racist. Like I said, it ought to be impossible for someone to say “this person is ‘diverse'”, it’s a ridiculous, illogical proposition. What they’re really saying is “we don’t want anyone white”. Here’s another way to look at it. Does an… Read more »
“Do you think Isaac Newton identified as ‘white’?” Yes. “One shouldn’t turn skin color into a major part of one’s ‘identity’” This contradicts nearly all of the human condition. And BTW, the differences go deeper than skin. “We’re seeing something unnatural and racist.” Racism is in fact natural and a fundamental part of human nature. What is unnatural is how so many whites are taught to hate themselves for being proud of being white, of being proud of their heritage, and tear down any who may display that pride. “An ordinary black guy in Africa doesn’t “identify as a black… Read more »
So are we on this blog, right now, ready to self-identify as White Nationalists? Not White Superiority, but White Nationalism, a la Jared Taylor and American Renaissance? I am, but every time I bring it up I’m run outta Blogtown on a rail, esp. over at NRO and Ace.
If we here aren’t ready to proclaim pride in our Euroethnic heritage, and share that with sites that are supposed to be our friends, then how can we expect those Commie apologists to ever treat us with respect as equals and not the Great White Oppressor?
Exactly the reason I have stopped watching a lot of movies (and frequently turn off TV shows after a few minutes). Stories now have to be ‘non-white diverse’, so we see at least one non-white person in a key role (think Costner’s Robin Hood with Morgan Freeman showing how to make gunpowder) or more troubling, the vast number of white female leads in bed with black men. I do wonder whether the white female lead who is dreamily smooching with the black man might just be thinking: ‘an artist must suffer for her art’ but as it pays, I expect… Read more »
Picked up a John Deere brochure with lots of lovely photographs of riding mowers, idly looking through it just after I finished your column. Guess what? No white guys on the mowers. Who the hell do they think buys their damn mowers? Tim
John Debyshire is right. And anyone interested can Goggle it;
White People Are Pussies.
The Last White Male: http://jlepore.fineartstudioonline.com/blog/100201/the-last-white-male
For me, the most startling thing is that they said Nancy Drew will be “diverse”. Once you’re able to look at a black man and say “he is diverse” and at a while man and say “he is not diverse”, you’ve gone insane. It means a country which is 90% black and 10% white is “90% diverse”. And a country like Somalia is “100% diverse”. A human being cannot be “diverse”. It also means that muslims (whom the race obsessed imagine are a race because that’s how demented their ideology is) can never be “intolerant”. If they don’t tolerate anything… Read more »
Mud brick was beyond them. That says something. Anyone else notice how… uniform… are the Department heads of the current Administration? The few not black, are gay? This is an occupation by hostiles. People with big chips on their shoulders. The Africans tell me the same story. The Ethiopian says that the majority, Ahamsa 40%, plus Oromo 25%, are ruled by the Tligani 10%- who are all the politicians, businessmen, and officers, they own everything. The Sierra Leonan says all Africa is the same- everyone from the bodyguards to the President is the same tribe, intent on looting the country… Read more »
Two words: tribal dictatorship.
Salvation may be individual, but power is collective.
Salvation is also collective, Jews are saved by the simple fact of being jews and serving their Tribe.
Right now the only issue is that the West must regain its self-confidence and protect itself. No one likes someone who is full of himself. A little introspection and self-deprecation is a good thing. But no one likes someone who self-flagellates and berates himself constantly and this is what Western society is doing these days. A healthy sense of civilizational self-confidence is a must. Had America been so ‘sensitive’ in the 30’s, it would have objected to anyone saying anything bad about Hitler and about the Nazis. Arguing instead that we “shouldn’t judge” and that our anti-Nazi attitude “offends” people.… Read more »
I am dismayed that Nancy Drew will be cast as non-white. As a girl I read every one of those books and Nancy Drew was clearly white and often described as having Titian hair, which to me has always meant strawberry-blonde, but I guess red hair is the more accurate description. I know this is small potatoes, but seriously, why must the Progressives ruin everything?
It’s Trotskyite Cultural Marxism: the object isn’t to replace the culture with something different or “better” (either subjectively or objectively); rather, the only goal is to destroy with maximum psychological effect. Shitting on it is more demoralizing to its adherents than simply competing with it or trying to replace it.
This explains why horrible modern architecture is forced on an unwilling populace. They love to deface beautiful historical buildings by adding ghastly modern annexes to them.

or, “white american couple”
Both parties in the war between the sexes need to sue for terms. This action supports detente as our interests converge. Only with the combined strength of both sexes can Americans withstand this hostile takeover.
