The Right must profess carefree indifference, frame themselves completely immune from unjustified smears, and avoid supplicating to the left's unreasonable standard. More James Crowley than James Watson.By surrendering in this way, these individuals adopt the left's primary supposition - that white conservatives are motivated almost entirely by racism and hatred of minorities. It's this gradual and almost imperceptible acceptance of liberal ideals that undermines right-wing and conservative policies; unfortunately, conservative movements desperate for mainstream acceptance accept these conditions without consideration.
I found the following video showing a black conservative finding "people of color" at this weekend's 9/12 gathering. I hesitate to criticize potential allies, but I will do so anyway because the implicit assumption of this video dishearteningly reflects the liberal takeover of conservatism:
The video opens:
If you watch media reports, the Tea Party is all white; so we're here looking for people of color.Clearly, this video contends that the presence of "people of color" refutes the popular conception of white racists comprising the Tea Party. But why would so called conservatives even engage in such a nauseating display? Why hold up these minorities as evidence for the inclusive nature of their movement?
The answer: these right-wingers have unconsciously accepted the idea that whites possess no moral autonomy. In this case, the ardent pronouncements of tolerance from white Tea Party members is not sufficient in exculpating them from racist smears. Whites' denunciation of racism can not stand by itself, the independent collective opinion of whites must be corroborated by some external racial entity. Racial and religious minorities are considered the ultimate arbiters of moral transgression. Videos like the one above yield to this prevailing moral hierarchy, a construct demanding that white (male) Christians appease the tender sensibilities of other groups. Without this, their word never seems good enough.

Thanks, captain obvious! Your truths are so profound they need to be in bold.
The point of showing minorities is just to make the point that the media lies.
It is just an illustration of their continual lying.
Obviously, even if the Tea Parties were 100% white, that would not indicate they are racists.
The main fault of the media is insinuating that any mostly white or all white group is racist just because they are white, which is fallacious and even malicious.
That's why righties need to acquaint themselves with Game. The concept of "reframe" is indicated in this situation.
When a chick says "you are a nerd!" does the guy reply with:
"really, I'm not a nerd! look at my high school badminton varsity jacket! and here is a photo of me going 'woohoo' at a keg party! look: there are even some girls the background! come on, please like me? pretty please? I am a cool alpha!"
... or does he say "Bring the movies."
The media is just playing on the stereotype of the working class redneck white's racism.

Also, notice the apostrophe in "other god's".
The most powerful source of the idea that any group without NAM membership has no moral authority comes from Hollywood.
Ever see a movie where there are two groups of whites in conflict? Ever notice that the heroes will be the ones with the black friends? It could just as easily be the opposite; the villains being portrayed as villainous because they use black people as thugs (or something like that) but that is uncomfortably close to the reality of progressivism.

Wait a second, what does that mean? I'm not much of a Game guy, you may've noticed....
Wait a second, what does that mean?
It's an inside joke from Roissy's blog. It refers to a guy who texts girls with laconic one-liner directives. I don't remember the details but I think it was some low-status guy who was punching above his weight in terms of the quality of chicks he was banging.
In this case, it's an example of how when a hypothetical chick calls you a nerd, you steer the conversation (reframe) it away from her terms ("you are a nerd") to yours.
Oh, yeah, I guess I understand. I write about Roissy way more than I read him which I think is a sin of some type.
I agree, though, that the "gamesman's" response to charges of racism is best: shrug and say "yeah whatever". Me, I would/will probably add more unnecessary stuff on impulse. "Yeah, whatever, I'm a snotnose too. Also I like disco." Noöne will understand that the last bit is irony since AFAIK noöne pokes fun at himself by claiming to like disco.
B Lode, your comments in this thread are some of the funniest things I've ever read.
Then again, I like disco so what do I know?
PA - If the Right needs to adopt game - who exactly will get the 'gina tingles?
OneSTDV - A bit more seriously - but wtf is 'white moral autonomy'? How could such a thing possibly exist - I mean really - you put a lot of effort into your erudite prose which I think is an attempt at coining phrases that will ultimately have to be attributed to you (to your glory) - but I digress, please develop this concept of racial moral orthodoxy???
Does any group posses inclusive moral autonomy? Are you suggesting that you believe there can be a moral naturalism that is derived exclusively from racial phenotypes?
I want to hear this.
Cheers
A bit more seriously - but wtf is 'white moral autonomy'?
Quite simple. Whites are no longer allowed to define moral behavior, especially in the realm of race.
In this example, the Tea Party is considered racist UNLESS a cohort of minorities define them as NOT racist. But the NAACP doesn't need a bunch of whites defining them as not racist to avoid the racism accusations.
Does any group posses inclusive moral autonomy? Are you suggesting that you believe there can be a moral naturalism that is derived exclusively from racial phenotypes?
Absolutely not. I don't understand where you got this idea from. Basically, whites used to define the bounds of polite society but as their social power has become all but lost, they have no grounds on which to defend or repudiate moral behavior.
This isn't about whites collectively acting more moral, but about who gets to define what is moral.
[And I rarely ever try to "coin phrases" - can only think of two examples, with the most recent being about 6 months ago.]

Oh, you are a member of a truly oppressed minority.
My take on white moral autonomy is that it is an aspect of nationalism - shriving ourselves of the need to get validation from people of other ethnicities. Right now, we need such validation to convince us we're not the boogeyman our 8th grade civics teacher told us about.

Same as always - women. The Right can craft itself to become old-style protector/members of autonomous communities. I.e., patriarchs.

These so called "whites" do it all the time, they're called Liberals or Democrats.
These so called "whites" still run the media, academia and the both major political parties.

It's a line used by a black kid who was screwing several blond White girls in Florida. The girls got into a fight over him and one killed the other.
He became a hero to sexually inadequate White boys at roissy who admire the black male ability to game White girls.
It seems to be related to the view that so called "whites", incredible term, lack masculinity and therefore are getting out-manned racially by blacks, hispanics and muslims.
I do think the Tea Party movement and specifically Glenn Beck look like an unmanly lot. Beck looks and sounds like a fat closet homo. And the Tea Partiers are generally old, asexual, unattractive, not too bright and just generally unappealing.
They really are a pathetic group and although they are having some local success if they get too full of themselves mainstream America will kick them to the curb.
They kinda look like the last gasp of an old, infertile, dying and desperate White America.
If they are the best the so called "whites" have to offer then whitey is done.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - election season in the US is too long. The Tea Party has been around for less than one full election cycle and everyone is already proclaiming them dead.
Today we live on the moral capital from the 1950's. Basically our entire moral foundation derives from Christianity and is interwoven with legal principles brought over from Europe. The emergance of liberalism simply swept away much of that foundation despite the liberal belief that free expression is the highest moral principle.
Few researchers would touch the topic of actual racial differences in morality. Richard Lynn believes that blacks are innately less moral than whites, and things like student loan default rates back him up. Secondly, the tendency toward violence surely has a moral aspect, and blacks are significantly more crime -prone.Impulsivity and aggression is seen all over Africa where random rapes of black on black are routine news items. Rwanda saw an immense absence of morality as barbarism swept across that country.Indeed, now that our progressivism promotes blacks far above their natural abilities, we also note the exposes of failure as they are caught hiding cash in refrigerators or aiding and abetting relatives illegally. Whites are corrupt as well, but if Lynn is right we can expect much more high-level scandals as blacks get their hands on the levers of power.
However, the actual differences in moral diligence among races may be secondary to the atmosphere of political hostility we see today. Politics is bigger, meaner, and full of mass ignorance and misunderstanding. The Tea Party will be par boiled by the MSM as they see it as a potential threat. In November we will find out how much clout they have. That we have divisions among Republicans, Tea Partiers, and tough conservatives like DeMint is not promising. To restore traditional American values without excessive compromise will be a tall order.Make no mistake, the public morality we see before us is a shadow of yesterday. Progressives want to see narcotics laws repealed and prisons emptied of violent NAMS worthy of rehab. They see no boundaries to their mission to invert all meritocratic hierarchies and creat a society of equality based upon spurious criteria deadly to our national interest. Until their myths are shot down by serious academics and their political missions seen as counterproductive if not destructive,we continue our downward path.
