Whom the far-right hates the most? the Chinese or the Muslims? in the regional capital of China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, folklore replaces religion and nikab is forbidden. American and Europe’s far right couldn’t be happier.
Why Are Moscow and Beijing Happy to Host the US Far-Right

An audit of the Daily Stormer’s archives attests to Anglin’s claim. He writes frequently about his support for Beijing’s policies against Uighur Muslims and argues that China enjoys more freedom of speech than in the United States. Anglin has even advocated for a Chinese occupation of the West as an alternative to supposed “Jewish rule” and has called on right-wingers to use the Chinese messaging app WeChat as a “more secure” alternative to other instant messaging apps.
While far-right groups often claim to be opposed to the Chinese Communist Party, the pro-Beijing stance has been reflected in Daily Stormer readers like the Christchurch terrorist, an Australian white supremacist, who donated to the publication three times in 2018, a year before he murdered 51 Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The terrorist traveled to China six times between 2014 and 2015 and wrote in his manifesto that China was “the nation with the closest political and social values” to his own.

The mere existence of racial disparity

Its not "mere". Overt and outright racism persist, systematic discrimination,supported by institutional policies in racist countries is not an aberrant, accidental behavior of a few.Nowadays, in the post -Jim Crow era, racists don't see color, just "people".As Bonilla-Silva has put it, color blind racism has become the dominant racial ideology in America as a means for justifying racial order in Society.

Ashli Babbitt, the medium attractive white american female who was shot at the Jan 6th uprising is being turned into the Far Right's martyr on par with St George Floyd of BLM, and now the Don has endorsed her canonisation.



Outing the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt will result in mass lynchings of him and his family; such was the way of the americans

Dozens of the more than 500 people charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot have been accused in court documents of attempting to delete photos and other content from their phones and social media accounts to hide their participation in the mob attack.
According to an analysis from The Associated Press, at least 49 people charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia have been accused of attempting to erase online and mobile phone content from Jan. 6.
Investigators have been able to track down many of the pro-Trump rioters through photos and videos posted to social media as well as security footage and phone data placing individuals in and around the Capitol building at the time of the attack.

The party of "law and order" and "personal responsibility" indeed.

[alhoon]

To be honest, one should be free to delete whatever he wants from his phone and social media.

[Coughdrop addict]

Not if it's to destroy evidence of criminal activity. That's a crime if intent can be prove. And many of them made other social media posts confirming that was their intent.

Is destruction of evidence legal in your country?

What is "colorblind racism" ?

Color blindness is the decreased ability to see colors or differences in color. In this case, simply put,color-blindness does not accept the existence of structural racism or a history of white racial dominance.
Its a "disease" of the white man in control,
”...He may be sophisticated enough to hide his personal racism from the world; he may even not experience any.It does not matter very much wheter he does or not.Because he lives in a racist society, social relations have been structured by him so that the black is not present for him.Negritude, black history, black social existence, are made not to matter.The man in control is technically insulated from the racial reality and influenced only by the capital whose fortunes he must superintend...Later, he will salve his racial conscience by contributing to the black college of his choice.He might even scold the White bigots and feel genuinely outraged at them.- Joel Kovel, White Racism: A psycho history.

What is "colorblind racism" ?

Judging people by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin, treating people as individuals rather than as racial groups with hereditary grievances, thinking laws and/or policies which mandate race-based preferences are objectionable, believing anything that threatens the income stream and/or celebrity status of race hustlers, etc.

[Gromovnik]

That is incorrect.

[sumskilz]

That is incorrect.

According to the National Multicultural Institute, colorblind is a "term used to describe personal, group, and institutional policies or practices that do not consider race or ethnicity as a determining factor". Therefore, "colorblind racism" is either the "racism" of not considering race/ethnicity as a determining factor or "racism" that arises from not considering race/ethnicity as a determining factor. Both are nonsensical of course, unless one redefines the term "racism".

[Gromovnik]

"Colorblind racism" is pretending that race is not an issue in situations where race is definitely an issue. So, the term "colorblind racism" is not the same as the word "colorblind" itself. But of course, you know that very well.

[sumskilz]

"Colorblind racism" is pretending that race is not an issue in situations where race is definitely an issue.

Sure, within an ideological framework that considers race universally relevant to every issue, and for which every issue requires a race-based solution. Accordingly, "attributing racial differences to cultural practices" or saying "we are all in this together" in reference to COVID are examples of "colorblind racism". In other words, it is exactly as I originally said.

No one here said that race is relevant to EVERY issue, but there is a wide array of issues where race is relevant.

Our Bolshevik friends know that theory of color blind “racism” is an aspect of liberal (or “bourgeois”) identity politics designed to perpetuate racial balkanization. Though it being so self-evidently toxic to the US, they can’t help but support it.

The insistence that certain in-groups be afforded systematized preferential treatment is nothing more than racial clientelism.

[sumskilz]

No one here said that race is relevant to EVERY issue

The concept of "colorblind racism" didn't originate in the thread, it comes from a 1997 book written by Leslie G. Carr, and counter to your previous assertion regarding the difference between "colorblind" and "colorblind racism", Carr asserts that colorblindness itself is a racist ideology. So to reiterate, the claim of those ideologues who subscribe to this notion of "colorblind racism" is that "personal, group, and institutional policies or practices that do not consider race or ethnicity as a determining factor" are racist. Therefore, race must always be a determining factor in every policy and every practice.

Carr, the aforementioned originator of this particular divisive idea, is an old white Marxist guy with a fetish for revolutionary black nationalism. Following Lenin (supposedly), he argued in his seminal publication that African-Americans are an oppressed nation, out of which he concludes that the characterization of African-Americans as a race rather nation was a ploy by the "White nation" to deny the "African American nation" its right to self-determination. I say supposedly about Lenin, because I don't know much or care about the topic, but it's something Carr has written about elsewhere: The Origins of the Communists Party's Theory of Black Self-Determination: Draper vs. Haywood.
