White Supremacists/Conservative Talking Points and Mantra

This was originally published in Quora under my real name but those who oppose the teaching of real history of the United States are really racist and white supremacist. 

I'm talking about you, Bill Maher, Pat McCrory, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Majorie Taylor Greene, Candice Owens, among many others who are in the public eye, denouncing CRT before even reading what is about.

 Here are the talking points of racist/white supremacist conservatives:

 “Diversity is a weakness." 
 “Blacks and Hispanics have low IQs”
 “Illegal aliens" 
“Blacks are committing most of the crimes" 
 “Muslims are terrorists"
“Don't make it about race" 
“Blacks, Hispanics, Asians are the real racists” 
 “Immigrants are taking our jobs away."
“Black men are deadbeat dads” 
“Black and Hispanic men are rapists"
 “Black women are baby making machines" 
 “Obama set race relations back” 
"White people create the modern world 🌎." 
 “Asians are taking over the universities." 
“Banks are controlled by Jews”
 “Jews are behind the race mixing agenda" 
“All lives matter"
 “White women are objectively the most beautiful.”
 “White men are the most financially successful group of people on the earth 🌎." 
 “Mixed race people suffer because they are Mixed” 
 “What about the children?" 
"Interracial relationships are wrong”
 “Why are Black and Brown women on welfare?” 
“Black, Asian, Latino, Indian, Middle Eastern men are always after White women” 
“30,000 white women are raped by Black men. No Black women ever raped by white men.” 
 “Chinese are taking over!” 
 “What about Black on Black Crime?” 
 “White men are the victims” 
 “White women are in danger. We must save them from evil men of Color.” 
 “The white race is in danger of being extinct.”
 "Get over it!" 
 The Indians are lazy drunks who complain about everything."
 "History is written by the victors. Get over it!"
 "They just playing the race card" 
"I'm not racist, but..."
"Slavery is over"
"Woke" (taken over by conservatives who resent the presence of Blacks in ads, media, TV)
"PC"
"Go woke, go broke"


These and many other talking points conservatives make about race and ethnicity.  It's not just Stormfronters, AmRenners, Alt Rightists, HBD-Sailerites, etc.  It's your Fox TV news, Republicans, Libertarians, Talk Radio, even white "liberals" such as Bill Maher, who is becoming right wing of late, berating Black people on a daily basis

Ignorance Affects Britain! Brits Exits EU!

The United Kingdom separates from the European Union and the markets tank.

The ignorance of the right wing reigns in the United Kingdom. Today the Brits exit the European Union causing a ripple effect across the global markets.

Hate and nationalism has stuck a cord with the Brits. 

Former London mayor Boris Johnson claims victory.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claims victory.

The conservatives are happy.

David Cameron, the current Prime Minister of the British Crown is resigning from officer in less than 90 days. He and President Barack Obama voiced concerns about the exit. They believe that the Brexit could ruin the world economy.

Racism and xenophobia were contributing factors to the Brits leaving the EU.

The 27 nations of the European Union will now have to worry about the impact on the global economy.

Britain's nationalist stance will affect the world. It may fuel more interest in Donald Trump's campaign.

SCOTUS Downs Obama's Executive Order On Immigration!



It was an evenly divided court that decided on the use of executive orders for presidents. This will affect presidents after President Barack Obama. The 4-4 decision to send the executive order on work permits to immigrants back to the lower court was considered a blow to Obama on his immigration plan.

The liberal and conservative wing kicked the decision back to the lower court which said that it was unconstitutional.

The order would have secured 4 million immigrants living here in the United States.

The Wall Street Journal added that the court's outcome in the immigration case doesn't require the administration to begin deportations of the affected immigrants—all of whom had significant ties to the U.S., such as children who are U.S. citizens or lawful residents. But it does halt the government's plan to normalize their presence by granting them authorization to work.

Speaking from the White House, Obama expressed frustration at the nation's continuing paralysis on immigration policy: "I believe that this country deserves an immigration policy that reflects the goodness of the American people."

The president also complained about the continuation of the open seat at the Supreme Court. Citing the increasingly frequent tie votes, he said that Republicans were extending the court's paralysis by refusing to consider his nominee for the open seat, U.S. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland.

"Republicans in Congress currently are willfully preventing the Supreme Court from being fully staffed and functioning as our founders intended," Obama said.

Republicans have said the next president should decide who should fill the Supreme Court opening.

Obama announced the immigration policies in November 2014, describing them as the furthest he believed he could go using executive authority to normalize the status of illegal immigrants after a Senate-passed immigration overhaul died in the House.
The current members of the Supreme Court. Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy, Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Without the ninth justice, it's going to be a quagmire of decisions that could gravely affect the nation. Antonin Scalia passed away in February.
The plan sought to assist more than four million people who already are considered the lowest priority for deportation. Authorities, lacking resources to remove most of the more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., focus on newly arrived individuals and those with criminal records.

By formally suspending the threat of deportation, the program would give affected immigrants the opportunity to obtain work authorization and other prerequisites for participating in society, such as a Social Security number and a driver's license.

Obama demanded that the voters decide on what the future. He said should they vote, should they continue to allow the federal courts and agencies tied up, mass shootings, gridlock in Congress, partisan gamesmanship, and Donald Trump. He urges that the future lies in the Dreamers who believe that they can change the direction of Congress and the presidency.

It's a tall order given the Republicans gerrymandered areas making it harder to win the House.

Republicans and their conservative allies have a megaphone of agitators and simpletons willing to distort the truth.

GOP Wants To Pull The Anchor On Children!

Conservatives are supporting the repeal of the 14th Amendment which gives any child born here automatic citizenship.

Clarification: I want you to know that many people in American Samoa want to be U.S. citizens.

They are considered U.S. nationals. They are required to have passports to enter the United States.

They have to use special privileges to enter the country. They are not considered foreign citizens but are treated as such. There are residents from American Samoa who serve in the military.

Unfortunately, they get no citizenship or veteran assistance without filling out their papers.

People who are born in Puerto Rico aren't immigrants. They are U.S. Citizens. The territory is semi-autonomous. It's considered a commonwealth with organized status with the United States. The main language spoken by residents is Spanish.

94% of the Puerto Ricans speak Spanish. Some people consider Puerto Ricans immigrants. That's not the case. They are American citizens. The territory is a commonwealth. It's a semi-autonomous territory that is in political union with the United States.
Concern trolling.
Okay, the immigration issue came front and center after The Donald bitched about illegals coming to the country. He rose in the polls after six incidents of criminal behavior by undocumented workers.

Republicans are following The Donald. Jeb Bush slid to the fifth or sixth place in recent polls. He is desperate to knock Donald Trump out the lead.

The Donald is a clear front runner in this race and yet many still look at this as a sideshow.

Trump's reaction to calling children born of illegal immigrants "anchor babies" became the newest de jour of conservative outrage.

Conservatives are happy that Trump is saying these things. According to the conservatives, they're tired of trying to be "politically correct" and being called "racist". They don't want to be silenced anymore about their bigotry or utter ignorance.

There are calls for the repeal of the 14th Amendment. It contains the phrase of birthright citizenship.
Trump and Bush are fighting for the lead.
The Republicans are now on board for this. Instead of working on immigration reform, they continue to push the narrative that everyone who is illegal should get the fuck out the country.

Matter of fact, three of the candidates running in the clown car are children of immigrants.

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal's family is from India. He is a descendant of immigrants.

Marco Antonio Rubio 's family is from Cuba. He is a descendant of immigrants.

Rafael Edward  "Ted" Cruz's family is from Cuba. He was born in Calgary, Canada. But since his mother is an American born citizen who didn't claim residence in Canada, he is an American.

Republicans are in agreement that the United States-Mexico border needs to be secured. They figure that this is more important than infrastructure or jobs. They fault President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, immigrants, Blacks, Muslims, the gays, the non-religious, the poor, the needy, and independent women as the real reasons for the country's downfall.

Reince Priebus was trying to make the party more inclusive.

The insurgent candidates won't allow that to happen.

Cheers & Jeers!

The president and Congress hear the cries. The president acts out on his word. Republicans vow to fight.


Republicans vow to fight the president every step of the way. During this lame duck session of Congress, the outgoing Democrats are probably going to the networks or private practice. Some may even jump onto the agitator radio circuit.

President Barack Obama delivered his statements Thursday. He told the nation that he's going to enact executive orders in the wake of the failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Immigration advocates and some undocumented workers and their families are praising this decision.

Tonight the president announced his plans to use his executive action to ease up on deportation.

This plan will assist about 1/3 of the undocumented migrants who already been in the country for nearly five years will be exempted. This is brought

The Benghazi select committee spurred by conservative agitators and Republican lawmakers netted again no fault towards the president, Hillary Clinton and CIA.

The Benghazi attack happened on September 11, 2012 when four Americans were killed after a militant group run up on a CIA-sponsored consulate. They used the cover of an anti-Muslim movie to draw an attack on the facility. The mastermind is held in American custody. The racist right has used this as a tool to Republicans win control of Congress. They were trying to find outrageous conspiracies and discredited individuals as

The Ferguson decision will be coming soon and the president urges calm to the residents of the metro St. Louis area.

The nation awaits to hear the fate of the Ferguson officer Darren Wilson.

The Big Bank Theory Sacks The President's Address!


CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox are not going to air the president's address to the nation on his executive order to loosen immigration rules. They got a big lineup of shows on and they're not going to risk hearing the wrath of angry couch potatoes.

The president and Congress have failed in getting things done this session. The U.S. Senate passed a immigration reform bill but the House of Representatives didn't. It's likely going to die. The Keystone XL pipeline also died. The House passed it with strong Republican majority and died on one by the U.S. Senate. The Republicans with their 54 majority in the U.S. Senate, will wrangle some conservative (spineless chickenshit) Democrats to pass it in the new session. Nonetheless, the immigration reform is off the table. The healthcare law is going to be repealed again and this time Republicans will hang this around the neck of the next batch of Democrats up for slaughter.

The president is hoping to please Hispanics, Asians and non-American citizens by relaxing rules on federal immigration laws. He has the power to do so, but it comes with a price. This will spark a debate on getting a law passed in the lame duck session of Congress. It will also spur the notion that the president didn't listen to the American voter. Or perhaps the Republican Party is truly the party of racist and ignorant assholes.

The Republicans are threatening to shut down the government and impeachment if the president goes through on his promise.

So the president is telling the Republicans that he's done fucking around with them. He's got two years, he's going to go hard and finally push them to the edge. Republicans won the Midterms on the notion of fear and the president's low approval with his supporters.

The big networks are not giving the president an opportunity to broadcast his message. They are willing to stream it online, but no interruption of scheduling.

The Big Bank Theory is the country's most watched sitcom. The CBS Executives would be happy to air the address, but not on Thursday. The same goes for ABC, they have Grey's Anatomy and Scandal on Thursday. They don't want to deny the stans an opportunity to see episode.

Fox got Bones and Gracepoint that air. NBC got the Biggest Loser. A big reality show for the couch potatoes. Although these shows pull a huge base of stans, CBS and ABC win the night.

NBC's sister station Univision and the cable news channels are going to air the president's address to the nation.

The racist right is talking about it. They feel that this is a "snub" to the president.

Think what could happen if there's a serious event in America and the president speaks. We seen how they've reacted during the Sandy Hook school shooting a few years back. One Sunday, he talks during a NFL conference game and these racist bastards go all out on him.

Don't worry, the message will be heard!

Sad news, The Millers was given the ax on CBS. The sitcom was promoted on Monday after The Big Bang Theory and later 2 Broke Girls. According to the gods of junk food media criticism, ratings dropped fast.

So in order to finish off the sitcoms void, CBS is likely going to ax, Mike & Molly will take the helm. The show is coming back (for the time being). Mom, The McCarthys, are on the bubble as well as Mike & Molly. They are ending Two & Half Men after Angus T. Jones quit the show. The Charlie Sheen era netted nine seasons. The fiasco did help push the show for three more seasons. But with the half man gone, it's curtains for the long running sitcom.

The Millers starred Will Arnett, Sean Hayes, Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges and J.B. Smooth

Obama: Hannity Is Annoying As Hell But I Somewhat Respect Him!

The president mocks that annoying conservative agitator for his change of heart on immigration.

The president goes after the Latino vote by telling them to vote. He also mentioned his signature achievement the American Healthcare Act. He knocked the conservative news networks for driving up the "end of days" theme.

He also mentioned that annoying conservative agitator's change of heart in the immigration reform debate. Mediaite has the goods on what happened.

Speaking before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s annual gala in Washington, D.C., President Obama warned that opponents of comprehensive immigration reform will soon “roll out the same old scare tactics.” In return, the president suggested, he and his supporters must work carefully to build a larger coalition that can successfully push legislation through Congress with help from both parties.

Though he suggested he could take executive action on immigration before his second term ends, Obama told the crowd that a written law would be more effective in the long run.

“If we want that legislation to happen sooner rather than later,” he said, “there’s one more thing I need you to do, and I've got to have you talk to your constituents and your communities and you've got to get them out to vote.”

After all, he continued, “You already know how powerful the Latino vote can be. In 2012, Latinos voted in record numbers. The next day, even [that annoying conservative agitator] changed his mind and decided immigration reform was a good idea.”

Obama was mockingly referring to annoying conservative agitator's switch from being opposed to the DREAM Act prior to the 2012 presidential election to supporting a “pathway to citizenship” for undocumented immigrants currently in the country.

The conservative agitator responds back to the president's mocking of him. The Blaze reports that the annoying agitator was not happy about being mentioned by the president.

“That’s not what I said,” that annoying agitator rebutted. “Interview after interview, I've said what I've said for years: secure the border first. And I said, this is being used as a weapon by the left and take it out of their hands by securing the borders, and then you deal with the 11 million people after. And no one has ever supported, ever, executive orders, which is what he’s planning.”

Carmela Bertagna- John Singer Sargent's Model and Muse

John Singer Sargent's muse, Carmela Bertagna. She's very beautiful and an extraordinary model in her own right.




Here's an essay on the girl dancer and model Carmela Bertagna

Carmela Bertagna, a Spanish-Parisian model who modelled for painter John Singer Sargent. Very little is known about her life, except that she lived with her mother and brother. Her father is unknown. She and her family had to work in order to make ends meet for themselves. She is of Spanish descent and modelled with various artists, including John Singer Sargent. Her Mediterranean Latin looks fascinated Sargent, who was captivated by magnificent Rosina Ferrara of Capri a year earlier.

Carmela Bertagna posed as a young girl begging for alms for John Singer Sargent's painting, "A Parisian Beggar Girl", where she sported unkempt hair semi covered with a veil and wore a stark white gown trimmed in black. She leaned against a very stark white wall, a prop which Sargent used in his later pictures, most notably, "Fumee d"Amberigis," a famous picture in which Sargent placed a magnificently dressed Arab woman against a stark white wall. Carmela also posed for the self-titled picture in which she was dressed in her native peasant costume accentuated with a long, pink, furry-like shawl. Her stare according to some people is like that of a predator, namely a wolf. Bizet contemptuously described Carmen as having eyes like that of a wolf. I'm disturbed about the description. The description implicates that certain groups of women have "animal-like" personalities. It goes back to the ancient stereotyping of women as wicked temptresses who led men astray. The stereotype of a Spanish temptress was the theme of George Bizet's Carmen, a play that shocked conservative middle class audiences when it first performed in 1875. Carmela sports a red ribbon in her hair, which was typical of most Mediterranean women of the late 19th century.

Famous R&B singer Faith Evans have a vague resemblance to Carmela. She is also of Mediterranean ancestry in her multi ethnic makeup and is very ethnic in appearance. Faith's father, Richard Swain, is of Italian Ancestry. Her mother is African American. So is the opera singer Julia Migenes. As a matter of fact, she resembles her in some of her pictures on the internet. Ms. Migenes is of Greek, Irish-Puerto Rican descent and was known for her starring role in the 1984 opera movie, Carmen. She played the title character. Carmela Bertagna wouldn't look out of place in Bizet's Carmen: She's similar the Carmen character: Sultry, seductive, and independent.

In the 19th century ultra-conservative Catholic Spanish society, Gypsies, Middle Easterners, Jews, and poor people are regarded as menaces to the respectable, law- abiding people. It is the same in the 21st Century with us Americans, particularly conservatives and most liberals(a.k.a. SWPL) stereotype and demean certain groups of people to be outsiders: unpopular racial minorities such as blacks, immigrant groups such as Latinos, the underclass and poor of all races and ethnicity, prisoners(The U.S. has the largest prison industrial complex of all the industrial nations), gays, feminists(think Rush Limbaugh's contempt for them), and so on. With welfare reform initiated by Clinton back in 1997, we are seeing plenty poor/working class women, especially Women of Color, struggling to put food and other necessities for their families as well as working at low quality jobs in the future decades. Also, Proposition 187 initiated by Pete Wilson as well as the Personal Responsibility Act of 1996 tend to punish immigrants of color as well as poor and working class Americans by telling them that they cannot use taxpayers' funds to help ease their way into the mainstream, that means not using public assistance nor attending public schools like other people. We Americans stereotype Black, Latina, and Native American women as "baby mamas", "welfare queens", and "loose women."  It was the same in France back in the late 19th Century when the French agonized over the Arrivals of Italian and Spanish migrants as well as Roma(formerly known as "Gypsies").

The Carmela picture tells us about the demographics of French society in the late 19th Century. When you look at the picture, remember her as an innocent young girl caught up in circumstances beyond her control, not to condemn her as an outcast or a "tramp."
