for white liberals

In the aftermath of the George Floyd killing in the summer of 2020, a sea of middle-class white protesters in my former hometown of Denver ritualistically writhed and moaned face-down on the grass for nine minutes in a park. It’s difficult to believe in hindsight that such creepy and transparent virtue-signaling ever took place. But middle-class white liberals were in a tailspin at the time. The often contradictory codes of “woke” social etiquette had knotted their brains; they were simultaneously confused and fighting mad, and above all, they were desperate to appear to be standing on the “right side of history.” So strong was this urge as they packed

Rather telling that there is no mention of American Jews turning towards President Trump. They will overwhelmingly vote for democrats even knowing that the 'rats are on the side of the Hamas terrorists that killed 1200 Israelis.

This delusional thinking by sobbing liberals explains why white, liberal chicks with face-piercings and rainbow hair are prominently at BLM rallies. Also fat, liberal chicks, with face piercings and rainbow hair, are often seen with Antifa goons. Same goes for pro-abortion crowds. Human debris.

Most Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans are just as offended by the DEI racialist trainings as their White coworkers. The progressive philosophy of intersectionality, and the lesson plans based upon it, just didn't fly with average working Americans of any color, background or persuasion in great enough numbers for the indoctrination to be effective. It took a few years, but eventually the American societal stomach vomited it all up. I see that as a very hopeful sign the patient is fighting for life. Minorities want to be treated as equal citizens, not as coddled children. The Donald doesn't see color, race, or sex. He only sees Americans.

The George Floyd hoax was the biggest lie ever to take hold in this country since Barack Obama. There are people out there who still believe it and Derek Chauvin is still in prison. Without white liberal help there would be no Black Lives Matter and DEI would never have seen the light of day. We would not be turning our TV volume off every time one of those stupid propaganda ads are shown.

The George Floyd incident was not a killing. He committed suicide the instant he swallowed the fentanyl.

A key thing that non whites are realizing about progressives is that while progressives will pander to non whites, they don't respect them and they don't understand that the same "kitchen table" issues apply to ALL Americans.
Is it more important that you demand your heritage be dominant or that you can take care of your family and pay your bills? When YOU KNOW inflation has seriously compromised your ability to do the latter and the current administration is blowing smoke in your face about it, you also KNOW there is NO respect for you.
If the Republican solution, as evidenced in Trump's first term, is that when the right things are done, EVERY citizen benefits. There is no need to differentiate or pander to select groups. Everyone is "respected". That memory is recent with non whites and the current alternative is glaringly different and woefully deficient.
The George Floyd mess was twisted by progressives to portray a prejudice against Blacks. But the reality is that Floyd was a criminal drug addict. He had just committed crimes and his behavior was erratic and dangerous. He was being restrained for the safety of the public. His health was poor and his drug addled state induced massive panic that overrode his ability to handle it. His own body killed him.
But that reality doesn't fit the progressive narrative.

I object strenuously to the statement "George Floyd killing".
NO external factors or persons had ANY NEGATIVE EFFECT on the path of George Floyd's suicide by drug overdose.
The fraudulent court proceeding (not a legitimate trial) that put the police officer in prison when he did nothing wrong, nothing harmful was a travesty.
The worst are those fools and liars who say "George Floyd murder".
The second worst are those like the author who say "George Floyd killing".
If they want to be accurate they need to say "George Floyd's death".....and leave out any commentary on the cause, like "death at the hands of the police" or some similar claim that an outside person or persons harmed Floyd. NO ONE harmed Floyd but George Floyd.

I do recall a TV show where they interviewed an African-American woman who would go into small circles of white women in Denver area, then explain to them a few things that made them all feel extremely guilty. This was intentional and pushed every one of those white women over to the very liberal side of Democrat politics.
It had major impact as they thought they were simply trying to correct "wrongs" and "do better".
I would recommend people read up on Rose Wilder Lane and how she learned about communism by visiting the Soviet Union, and later writing an essay in 1936 that read: "Will and American defend the Constitutional law that divides, restricts, limits and weakens political-police power, and thus protects every citizen's person freedom, his human right, his exercise of those rights in a fee, productive, capitalist economy and a free society? Or will he permit the political structure of these United States to be replaced by a socialist state, with its centralized, unrestricted police power regimenting individuals into classes, suppressing individual liberty, sacrificing human righ5ts to an imagined "common good," and substituting for civil laws the edicts, or 'directives,' once accurately called tyranny and now called administrative law?"
