You Will Be Made To Bow: White Leftists Kneel Before Blacks They Harmed By Being Born White

You Will Be Made To Bow: White Leftists Kneel Before Blacks They Harmed By Being Born White

Socio-cultural conditioning in action: Americans taught to hate themselves and to submit to others

https://twitter.com/johnddavidson/status/1268559165754138625

I’ve written well over 1,500 posts for Legal Insurrection over the years, and one that stands out in my memory as a heartbreaking emblem of “woke” culture was a post about a school in New York City that was teaching little K-8 white children they were “born racist.”  Children were coming home in tears, telling their parents that they were “a bad person.”


It was such a moment of clarity, too, though.  The left’s stranglehold on our education system from kindergarten through college is a demented, truly evil exercise not only in undermining America but in destroying real human beings, of instilling self-loathing, removing self-esteem, and ensuring that victims of their indoctrination not only hate America but hate themselves.

These anti-values are now manifesting in disgusting displays of self-hatred.  We are seeing “woke” white leftists bowing down before black people in a bizarre cultist ritual of self-flagellation.

For what are they “begging forgiveness”?  For the “sin” of being born white.  Literally, that’s their crime against humanity, not just to the sickos lauding a “beautiful moment,” but to the penitents themselves.

This goes beyond, but is a natural outgrowth of, wacky, crystal-waving former Democrat presidential nominee Marianne Williamson leading her parishioners in a “prayer of apology” to black people.

This is the new normal the radical (white) left wants to instill in our socio-cultural consciousness that we, as white people, are born evil, and we must repent.  On our knees.  Prostrate before those we have “harmed” . . . by being born white.

The Federalist reports:

Amid the scenes circulating on social media this week of protesters and rioters and burned out storefronts and police barricades, two of them stand out as harbingers of what all of this means for the future of mainstream American society.

The first was a video clip of a small group of white people kneeling down before a group of black people. A white man at the head of the kneeling group was praying, his voice shaking with emotion: “Father, we ask for forgiveness from our black brothers and sisters for years and years of racism, of systematic racism.”

The second was a clip of a large gathering in the affluent DC suburb of Bethesda, Maryland. Nearly a thousand protesters, most of them white, their hands raised as if in prayer, engaged in a kind of collective woke sermon, repeating after a man on a microphone: “I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible, and do everything in my power to educate my community. I will love my black neighbors the same as my white ones…”

. . . . The model at work here is the Chinese Cultural Revolution, with its mass “struggle sessions” in which anyone deemed insufficiently sympathetic to the proletariat, or thought to have an excessively bourgeois lifestyle, was subjected to public humiliations, paraded through the streets, assaulted, denounced, and put on display as objects of scorn. Often these struggle sessions ended in false confessions and pleas for mercy.

Obviously, no one in America is being paraded through the streets against their will. But by rushing to profess their supposed guilt for racism, these people are admitting that they need publicly to affirm their allegiance to woke identity politics. This represents nothing less than the emergence of a new regime in American life. What is now a voluntary and seemingly spontaneous public affirmation of progressive ideology will in time become a requirement. If you want a career or a public platform or a professional life in mainstream society, you’ll have to profess allegiance to the cultural left.

The Federalist piece is compelling and excellent. Read the whole thing.

As we see police and the National Guard bow down to the rioters and looters, we can see how this is intended to play out . . . how it is playing out.

The goal is to instill a sense of serfdom in the white majority, not to our black betters to whom we are expected to bow now, but to our—they hope and fully intend—new, lily white radical leftist/communist masters.

A government of, by, and for the people is anathema to the anti-American, anti-capitalist left, but Americans are born free and know it in their bones.  This has to be undermined by self-loathing, white guilt, and all associated anti-American rhetoric.

This white leftists literally bowing to black people trend, in other words, has little to do with race.  The long con is the systematic conditioning of a free people who have never bowed to anyone to submit, to do so willingly and freely at first, but ultimately to imprint submission to human beings—and ultimately to their unAmerican form of government—on our cultural DNA.

If you are not scared enough to go out on November 3rd and do all you can to keep these people out of power, then you are not paying attention.

So is this how it will end? America? The idea of freedom? Through the cultural indoctrination by our elite institutions destroying all pride and inducing a stupfying idiocy into 200 million white people?

Are we really that damn dumb? Possibly.

    There is Zero need for Public Education any longer in the Modern World.

They’ve lost touch with reality.

And they paid (or borrows) 100+ grand for four years of lose-touch-with-reality training.

Narcissitic zombies, bent on destroying our country and replace it with — free shit.

You do know our food chain and utilities are the next targets, don’t you? And democrat leaders are in league with the terrorists who will attack it.

Hope PDJT has a plan.

    Mr. Fine, W/regards to the food chain and the utilities; The same lefty, mega-cities will be the first to starve/be left in the dark, and are the ones most vulnerable to these two essential requirements of life. No food, no electricity, and therefore, no water not requiring a municipal pump. I, and millions of others have water on our property, acreage for a truck garden, game sufficient for meat and trees sufficient to fuel our wood/cooking stove, w/firearms to protect it all, have no fear of the apocalypse. The only folks with reason to fear are the lefties themselves.

    Folks properly prepared for the lefty-caused nightmare fear no evil. What the lefties sow, so shall they reap. Let them continue to burn their hoods, and eat their own. No sympathy.

        Something I learned working near convict crews on wildland fires. They could be the biggest, meanest, muscled, tatted sociopath criminal in the world. But woods, forests, mountains, countryside etc. made them extremely uncomfortable. And those settings at night TERRIFIED them. I don’t think a criminal element spilling forth from cities will fare well. Just my 2 cents.

          I had a college friend from the Bronx. We were in Upstate NY, a “village” of 1000 people, when school was in session. Seriously, that small. Trees everywhere, and that first year, she was scared to death to leave the sidewalks between buildings.

        Those big fields you see are field corn or corn for cows, horses and such. You can boil the ears for a day, toss the ear and eat the pot and it’d be more palatable.

        Make the leftists live up to their ideals. Start a twitter hash tag that liberals need to move back to the inner cities from the suburbs with their school kids. Those kids need to be with black children to PROVE they aren’t racist.
        Won’t take but a week or less and reality will crash down on their little kids.

          There’s a few days in a growing season where field corn is actually quite tasty.

          Not quite as sweet as sweetcorn, but still good

          I know enough farmers around here, I never lack for sweetcorn. One I know well grows probably 50 acres of it (staggered planting) and sells it by the truckload it to grocers in Indy.

          Not quite ready to replace my Charmin Ultra for corncobs though

      Bear,

      This is highly organized. They’ll be marching in everyone’s direction soon.

      No one will escape the coming war, unless we start fighting it and isolating the terrorists’ movements.

      Whatever you think of Alex Jones, he was right when he sounded the alarm on the globalist movement. He’s right in his sounding the alarm on the the scope of the plot occurring, and just where its tentacles are attached and how far they reach. The guy has it down pat.

      Jones’ crystal ball has proven so accurate, it’d be neglience to ignore him and what he is predicting how.

      Try watching him: http://www.infowars.com

Fuck that, they will eat lead before I take a knee to their collectivist bullshit.

    The problem is that their tenacles reach so deep in our government, us “lead” throwers might be in FEMA camps or snipered out of existence (or simply disarmed by a roving swat team), unless we die fighting.

    Give me liberty, or give me death. And if you give me death, you’re coming with me.

Nope. Not bowing down to The Exalted Minority.

I respect no one less than those who grovel. The absurdity is that groveling gains nothing. Their self respect is gone and none of those that they grovel before will respect them, either. They’ll just sneer at the grovelers for the worms they are.

Idiots and fools.

The American Revolution was fought on the principle that no man should ever take a knee before another.

    Milhouse in reply to JHogan. | June 4, 2020 at 8:19 pm

    And they will say that’s just the point. That the American Revolution was evil because it was fought by slave-owners, I’m sorry, I meant to say “enslavers of African men and women”, and whatever it was for we should be against. They’ll also say (in fact they do say) that the revolution was fought precisely so that some men would continue to kneel before others. This is the gist of the 1619 project; that the real reason for the revolution was the fear that the UK would abolish slavery.

      alaskabob in reply to Milhouse. | June 4, 2020 at 8:29 pm

      As part of that they say that without the Revolution slavery would have ended earlier in the Americas. They point to the 1830’s but forget that slavery in India lasted longer and also forget the millions that died from mismanaged India. Those poor were essentially serfs in India.

      They believe in a static form of history in which major events had no effect on the future. No Revolution… no loss of the colonies, no loss of the sugar/rum/slave axis.

        Muslims still practice slavery.

        What is Sex Trafficing of children and others by the Elitists but Slavery.

          ^1,000
          Slavery has been a part of human existence for thousands of years. As you noted it is still practiced in today’s world. It is NOT specific to the United States as the Maoist/BDS/SJW cabal would have us believe. In fact, we are the only country that went to war with itself, to the tune of 650,000 dead, to rid ourselves of the horrible institution.

    It doesn’t say anything about women.

    Just ask kamala harris.

Systematic racism? Black people don’t vote? I don’t understand, they have the ability to go and vote for whoever they want yet they keep electing racists??? Am I missing something here? I mean seriously what are the odds that every single person they vote for is a racist?

    david7134 in reply to scaulen. | June 4, 2020 at 8:50 pm

    Racism is alive and well in the US. But it is mostly practiced by blacks. Affirmative action is as racist as it gets. Complaints of micro aggression, racist as even your thoughts are not your own.

Those kneeling and those demanding the kneeling are as racist as actual slave owners were….

    Milhouse in reply to caseoftheblues. | June 4, 2020 at 8:59 pm

    Many actual slave owners were not racist. They bought what was on the market. The reasons the slaves imported into America were mostly black were:

    (1) White slaves proved unsuitable for plantation work in tropical climates (and the slave trade was built to serve those markets, not North America);

    (2) White slaves were mostly available at the slave markets in North Africa, where it was dangerous for the slave traders to go, lest they find themselves on the block; so instead they patronized the markets in West Africa, where it was safer for them to do business, and what was on sale there was blacks.

      Sad, but true.

        notamemberofanyorganizedpolicital in reply to TheFineReport.com. | June 4, 2020 at 10:00 pm

        I guess the North made more use of White Slaves called indentured servants.

        From what I’ve learned the indentured slaves were treated worse than blacks. Same difference between Rented property and Purchased property as an investment.

        Also there were lots of Black slave owners. Discovered those facts everywhere else but the Northern written and approved histories.

        Remind the Whihe Liberals that Muslims still practice slavery so they should protest in Mecca.

      Milhouse in reply to Milhouse. | June 4, 2020 at 11:01 pm

      When I say white slaves proved unsuitable for the plantations, I mean exactly that. I don’t mean that they were thought to be unsuitable, perhaps for racist reasons; I mean that they tried them and they didn’t work out. The Caribbean plantations started out with white slaves, and it was a disaster, so they looked around for a replacement and found that in West Africa there were plenty of black slaves available for sale, so they went and bought some and they proved suitable so they kept on buying more.

johnny dollar | June 4, 2020 at 8:36 pm

Credulous white liberals have done more damage to this society than any other group.
Without their support, these lunatic ideas would be a footnote to history: With their support, they eventually take over the entire culture.
I really fear for the future of this civilization.

Any person who doesn’t understand that this nonsensical, perpetual, excessive and unbalanced self-flagellation on racial matters is utterly poisonous to our civics, to our society and to our collective health as a nation, is an utter fool. Nothing good lies on this path; only plenty of destruction and death.

The Dhimmi-crats lack all modicum of balanced perspective. We are a young nation, not even 250 years old. We’ve made mistakes, but, we’ve improved and striven to do better. We’re a more free and fair society than 99.9% of the planet. Hell, we are a few years removed from having elected and then re-elected a bi-racial, narcissist-demagogue and totally incompetent mediocrity, as President. So, where the hell is the acknowledgement of progress? It’s this inability to acknowledge progress that marks the Dhimmi-crats’ totally infantile, irrational and dishonest assessment of all racial matters.

The technical issues of ‘absolving ones self for WP’ have always baffled me. For some reason, the ones who demand it never fill in the picky details. Will abasing ourselves at their feet once be enough, or does our groveling need renewed every year? If we’re Catholic, can we add it to the confessional on a weekly basis perhaps? Do we need a card showing we’re current? Or maybe a star.

I never owned a slave and not one of those blmer’s has picked cotton.
Move on to some idiot that will believe systemic racism on the right.
Especially since the black vote for decades has gone to the left and when in power they get nothing but crumbs.
Next election the left wins the blacks may actually be in chains as they’d have served their purpose.

    the fakers of this movement would have a beef with the decendents of cave-people.

    Kepha H in reply to 4fun. | June 4, 2020 at 9:40 pm

    It’s a perverse kind of social climbing. By claiming WP and feeling all guilty over slavery and Jim Crow, these offspring of the Great Atlantic Migration are claiming equality with the Tidewater and Codfish Aristocracies, and all those others who called Pappou/Zayde/Opa/Bestevar/Nonno a “greenhorn”.

It’s a posed, symbolic action. Those kneelers have no real respect for black people, since most would hold that blacks are too incompetent to do anything for themselves or without the help of the wonderful, anointed, “we whites”.

    Black lives only matter to white liberals, every 4 years, ahead of an election.

    I’m so sorry to those of you that thought otherwise.

      Blacks only value black lives when it is profitable to do so. They have over a seven fold higher crime rate, and black men account for most of that. Police are eighteen times more likely to be killed by a black, police would be foolish to let their guard down. The same applies for all of us.

      I really love to see success stories, where someone works their tail off, in school, in their job and actually earns their way.

      But, boy am I tired of incompetents, a staggering number of blacks in the workplace are incompetent, yet they hold degrees which mean nothing, because those degrees should not have been granted.

Reminds me of Parsons in “1984” being proud of his son exposing him as a “thought criminal”

George_Kaplan | June 4, 2020 at 9:56 pm

Demands that Whites abase themselves before Blacks is blending the worst of the Indian caste system – untouchables, with the worst of American racial history – slavery. It is fundamentally antithetical to equality, the Constitution, and the American way of life, but not to the Leftists who wish for a new aristocracy, and a soviet system. Yes this should be a contradiction, but communist societies show a clear class system.

LibraryGryffon | June 4, 2020 at 10:26 pm

I find the girl with the red hair and black shirt particularly disturbing. Her black WuFlu mask looks like a muzzle. Between the crowds pose and the muzzles they all look like a slaves, not free men and women.

Of course anyone who would willingly participate in that travesty has cheerfully given up their freedom for a (very) little security. And only temporary at that.

I just got this email from Uber. All I can say is “Ugh”. I’d stop using them, but is Lyft any better? I somehow doubt it.

————————————————————–

Uber stands with the Black community.

Let me start by saying I wish I never had to send this email.

I wish that the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others weren’t so violently cut short. I wish that institutional racism, and the police violence it gives rise to, didn’t cause their deaths. I wish that all members of our Black community felt safe enough to move around their cities without fear. I wish that I didn’t have to try to find the words to explain all of this to my two young sons.

But I’ve been given hope this week by hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors demanding change. I am committed to being part of that change.

As a company, we believe that everyone has the right to move freely, no matter where they live or the color of their skin. We’re proud of how Uber has helped improve transportation equity over the last decade. But the reality remains that Black Americans often don’t feel safe to move freely in many places around our country. And they still face enormous barriers that others do not.

This is a reality we should not perpetuate or accept. We must do better.

We know there is no easy solution to the problems we have faced for centuries. We also know that we need to devote our time, energy and resources toward making a difference. That’s why we’re making a number of commitments that we will uphold not just this week, but for years to come:

* We are committed to driving lasting change through criminal justice reform. On Sunday, we announced a $1 million donation to the Equal Justice Initiative and Center for Policing Equity to support their important work in making racial justice in America more than just a promise.

* We are committed to creating a community that treats everyone equally and with dignity. We do not tolerate discrimination, harrassment or racism on our platform, as outlined in our Community Guidelines. We will hold everyone who uses Uber accountable to these standards of basic respect and human decency. I respectfully ask anyone not willing to abide by these rules to delete Uber.

* We are committed to supporting the Black community. As a starting point, we will use Uber Eats to promote Black-owned restaurants while making it easier for you to support them, with no delivery fees for the remainder of the year. And in the coming weeks, we will offer discounted rides to Black-owned small businesses, who have been hit hard by COVID-19, to help in their recovery.

* We are committed to making Uber a diverse and inclusive place for people of color to work and thrive. While we have more work to do, we have tied our senior executives’ pay to measurable progress on our diversity goals, and will continue to publish data on our workforce so the public can hold us accountable. We’re also committed to expanding opportunities for drivers and delivery people, including through education opportunities and skills training.

We know this isn’t enough. It won’t be enough until we see true racial justice. But we plan to work day in and day out to improve, learn, and grow as a company.

Lastly, let me speak clearly and unequivocally: Black Lives Matter.

    Sadly, I received a similar one from Lyft and every company that has my email. Just started deleting.

    I received something similar from the CEO of ETSY. ETSY! Oh my gosh!
    We need to start sending replies back that no one wants a side of politics/political correctness/cultural marxism with their purchase!

    No one should ever be shamed for or ashamed of the skin their good Lord gave them.
    No one!

Some of those points sound illegal to me. How soon can non-black restaurants and small businesses get up a lawsuit?

    George_Kaplan in reply to Milhouse. | June 5, 2020 at 1:48 am

    Probably only after folk can point out active discrimination has occurred as opposed to declared intent to discriminate. The question is whether such discrimination is actually illegal.

    I read something recently where Amazon dropped an author for allegedly violating the ToS so the author took them to court. Said author’s peers attacked said author because they’d purportedly violated said ToS, but when it made it to court Amazon eventually admitted that was untrue, rather they could simply drop anyone at any time for any reason, and the court agreed with them.

    Discrimination is only illegal when the law specifies a particular form of discrimination is illegal. All other discrimination is lawful.

      Milhouse in reply to George_Kaplan. | June 5, 2020 at 10:05 am

      Discrimination is only illegal when the law specifies a particular form of discrimination is illegal. All other discrimination is lawful.

      Yes, of course it is. It’s a point I keep having to remind some people of. But race is one of the grounds specified in the law; it is unlawful for a public accommodation, such as Uber, to discriminate on the basis of race.

      And that is precisely what they’ve just announced they will do. So it seems to me that any non-black restaurateur can simply ask to participate in this free delivery service (without pretending to be black), get an official refusal, and file suit.

        SDN in reply to Milhouse. | June 5, 2020 at 2:05 pm

        And the instant and dishonest response (with which you’ve agreed) is “No, it’s because you’re conservative. Never mind that our rhetoric is couched in racial, religious, sexist terms, we say it’s because you’re Republican.”

        So it’s all good because “Muh private Bizness”.

          Milhouse in reply to SDN. | June 5, 2020 at 7:40 pm

          How do you know I’m conservative? All you know is that I own a restaurant and I’m white. And yet you refused me the discount. That’s racial discrimination and it’s illegal.

These riots are the new Pearl Harbor, and obama is the new Tojo.

I’ve been criticized many times over the years for citing Marx-Engels, Mein Kampf and other such books which are the source of socialist thought. Although far from being an expert, I am fairly well-read on this subject. Unlike a lot of people apparently, I am capable of delving into any subject without risking being brainwashed and forgetting who I am. But it is almost impossible to understand what is going on today without having studied their “bibles”.

Today, we are being repressed and oppressed and the ones who have been brain-washed include these very white people who can so easily be compelled to kneel and admit being guilty of being white as if that itself is a crime against humanity. Yes, they admit it on those very terms. These people are nothing but zombies being led into their concentration camps. Clueless, ignorant morons. They are completely blind to the very many blacks who are also appalled by this behavior.

Nothing good will come out of this but it is impossible to discuss this intelligently and forcefully without understanding the planning and forethought over the years that has led us to this point of mass ignorance. Most people, including the very protesters and rioters who believe they will be better off should they win, don’t truly understand the evil nature of this existential threat. For that, you have to have educated yourself by reading those vile books.

If this isn’t stopped very soon, a great many people will die around the world and most will die AFTER the “glorious revolution”. And if history repeats, among the first to die will be the grassroots leaders and their riotous followers at the hands of the very government they put in place. The biggest murderer of people by far has been communist governments murdering their own citizens. That is the price of ignorance.

Looks like the race baiters have near complete control of the media. While Mr Floyd’s death is a tragic crime. He was less than a upstanding citizen. He had a memorial service, which was proper. The broadcast of this ceremony on three national TV networks was a bit over the top. Many of thespeakers were clearly political and close to incendiary.

I would recommend reading “The Anatomy of Revolution” by Crane Brinton.
It was required reading when I attended college.
Mr. Brinton reviewed the English Revolution, the French Revolution,
the Russian Revolution, and the American Revolution.
What is happening now world wide is “deja vu all over again”.

texansamurai | June 5, 2020 at 8:49 am

can remember kneeling in rest from physical exertion a few times in this life–other than that, have knelt in honor only once, when i asked my lady for her hand

it is and will remain the only time

The left is the philosophy of racism. The Democrats are the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, the party of the KKK, the party of Segregation.

Now they are the party that is all about killing black babies through abortion, keeping black people dependent on the government through welfare and food stamps. That believe black people are inherently inferior and can’t succeed without “affirmative action”. That run the cities seemingly over-run with racist, murderous cops.

With all that in mind, perhaps it’s appropriate for them to apologize…but it would probably be better for them to just stop being so racist.

Defund the police?

I say, defund the schools!

We’ll see who wins at this game some are playing with our sacred liberty and right to self-determine ourselves. Bet on it, We, the People, will.

To complement and underscore all the wonderful intellectual guidance seen in this column, see Michelle Malkin’s recent piece on kneeling. https://conservativechoicecampaign.com/michelle-malkin-get-up-off-your-knees/

Individually, privately, separately, it certainly can be reverent; but socio-politically, doctrinally en masse, as in the images seen above, it’s so alien, un-American, too:

A great distinction, keen and unique to the American mind and its institutions, exists between what’s legitimately private and what’s legitimately public. Authenticity, it seems, is key.

Not to be included in this sense is the long and celebrated history in America of religious revivals, etc. They’re in a wholly different category of confession and submission; their intended and usual end-result relates to freedom, liberation, not slavery, it appears to me.

Chairman Mao and his Cultural Revolution Red Guards would be so proud of this.

Since the American Revolution, Free Americans have taken a knee for three reasons, when confronted by an aggressor.
1) It provides a smaller target.
2) It provides a more stable shooting platform
3) It allows armed Americans, standing behind the first rank of shooters, to shoot over their heads.
