"White straight men are the Devil in the religion of social justice. All evil flows from them." -- Margaret MacLennan

By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the four thugs who kidnapped a disabled man, tortured him and made him drink toilet water while they screamed “F*** white people” and “F*** Donald Trump!” That would be horrible under any circumstances, but evil people have always existed. What makes this situation so unique is that these four animals didn’t just inflict this torture on another human being, they live broadcasted it on Facebook.

Think about the significance of that. These animals WANTED their friends to see what they were doing and assumed they’d react positively to it. They thought that because this kid was white and they talked about Donald Trump a little bit, people they knew would be okay with what they did.

This attitude does not come out of nowhere; it comes out of a Faustian bargain that liberals have made on race. If you are a white liberal, you call people whom you don’t like racist. This protects you from the charge because if you’re calling someone else a racist, how can you actually be a racist? Then you imply that, “If you join us in calling everyone who opposes our plans racist, you will also be protected from being called racist.”

From there, liberals turn up the heat. They encourage groups like Black Lives Matter and obsess over people who get shot while doing stupid and dangerous things around the police even though more whites than blacks are shot by the cops. They claim that common sense measures like having ID at the polls are the equivalent of “voter suppression.” They promote and encourage “bigoteers” like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris-Perry, Deray Mckesson, Shaun King and Michael Eric-Dyson among many others. Their entire careers are predicated on coming up with new and exciting ways to accuse people Democrats don’t like of being racist. Then there’s “white privilege” which is really a generalized and dumb way of attacking people for being the wrong color.

Some of this stuff has been going on for a long time, but it has gotten worse and the rhetoric has become ridiculous. Essentially liberals, including white liberals, have embraced the same mentality that drives Nazis and white supremacists. In other words, David Duke sounds like opposite-world Ta-Nehisi Coates. Their attitudes and thinking are exactly the same, but one of them hates whites and the other hates blacks. Liberals have never been known for their intuitive grasp of human nature, but the idea that liberals can incessantly push the idea that race is everything and non-liberal white people are the wrong race without a movement rising up on the other side saying exactly the opposite is insane. Liberals are horrified that there are Nazis and KKK members that have started sticking their heads up on twitter, but liberals encourage those kind of race-based sentiments as long as they’re aimed at white people. Look at the sort of rhetoric that has become commonplace on the Left.

White men must be stopped: The very future of mankind depends on it

Dear White People: Here’s a List of Things We’d Wish You’d Stop Doing

How Donald Trump Will Make America White Again

America's White Male Problem

America Has A Problem And It's Called Straight White Men

Samantha Bee Calls Out White People, and Specifically White Women, for “Ruining America”

Elite White Men as The Problem

These sort of attacks on white men are now the rule on the Left, not the exception. What makes it worse is the generalized nature of the comments. It’s not just prominent Republicans who are the problem; it’s straight, white men in general. Need more evidence? How about the sort of quotes liberals toss out about white men on a regular basis?

“Look, people are only voting for Donald Trump, most of his supporters are only voting for him because he’s a white guy.” – Sally Kohn

“You don’t have to have a white person around to have white supremacy play out.” — Cherrell Brown

“Yes! I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms.” — Azealia Banks

“The insistence (that Santa Claus) not black and can’t be black strikes me as an attempt to perpetuate white supremacy and to posit that whiteness is somehow normal and central while blackness is other or different.” —Touré

“I live to harass white folks.” -- Derrick Bell, Harvard

“There’s white racist DNA running through the synapses of his or her brain tissue. They will kill their own kind, defend the enemies of their kind or anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life.” —Jeremiah Wright

“One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy. I think he(‘s) giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he’s a black man who knows his place. I know that’s harsh, but that’s how it sure seems to me.” —Karen Finney

“All of you are white. Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!” —Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price

Let's call this what it is: dehumanizing hatred aimed at white people because of the color of their skin. Even the unceasing cries of "racism" are another way to harass white people who disagree with liberals. Liberals don't care about falsely calling people racist. It doesn’t even matter to them if they're wrongly accusing someone because to them, white people who don't agree with them have lost the right to even be treated with basic human decency.

That's the backdrop that this horrible crime occurred against. Black Americans are being falsely told that white Americans hate them. White Americans are constantly smeared for the color of their skin in the liberal-controlled press and mocked when they quite correctly protest that they're being treated unfairly. “Oh, white people are generally doing better economically than black people; so it’s okay to throw race-based hate at Caucasians who don’t vote Democrat.” That’s the thinking, but it’s morally bankrupt thinking. Moreover, despite the fact that any blighted ghetto you run across in America is practically guaranteed to be run by Democrats, every ailment of black Americans is hung around the necks of white Americans who are apparently guilty of holding back those poor people via racism and imaginary white privilege.

We live in a society where hypersensitive liberals parse every comment looking for something, anything they can call racist while they simultaneously hurl grotesque racial insults at white people because of the color of their skin. So, if those four scumbags thought it was okay to broadcast their torture of a disabled man to the world because he was white and they namechecked Trump, it was because they bought into the poisonous way liberals approach race.
