“At the end of the day, this is about resentment and hatred towards white people. Nothing more.”
it is My immediate reaction On the cover of The New Yorker, September 9th issue That's what I saw a few days ago, and the more I look at it, the more I feel like my intuition was right. This is not harmless. Not harmless at all.
Every day Americans are bombarded with a level of anti-white propaganda that would shame the filth of Radio Rwanda in its heyday.
Of course, if you ask any artist or New Yorker what the cover means, you’re likely to get an answer like this:
“Yes, this is about the 'invisible labor' people of color do to support white middle-class Americans without which white middle-class Americans would not be able to live the comfortable, privileged lives they enjoy. Because of the divisive rhetoric of Donald Trump and his supporters, we believe this is an especially important moment to remind white people of the value of the tireless work done by people of color, especially immigrants…” and so on.
I know, we've all heard it. It's a cliché.
However, I don't think that's all there is to it.
The message I get is much darker: life would be better if there were no white people, especially no white children. White people shouldn't breed.
Look at that African-American woman sitting on the bench. She could be having coffee with her son, a straight-A student. He's a straight-A student because he didn't take advantage of the unfair advantages of white supremacy. But she has to babysit some other guy's blonde, blue-eyed kid.
The symbolism is intentional, right down to the blonde hair and blue eyes.
Symbols always exist within a broader network of other symbols: an image like the New Yorker cover cannot be interpreted in isolation from all the other symbols and collections of symbols that give meaning to anti-white hatred in America today.
America, perhaps more than any other Western nation, is a country where hatred of white people is a key part of, if not the dominant ideology. Every day, Americans are bombarded with more anti-white propaganda than would shame the filthy heyday of Radio Rwanda.
And let's not forget the real harms suffered by white Americans: humiliation, workplace discrimination, assault, robbery, rape and murder.
There is even a special government agency called Community Relations Services that exists solely to help white people pretend that racism against white people does not exist when one of their loved ones is killed in an obviously racist attack. Written about More details on CRS.
It's an accepted message that white people shouldn't reproduce. In 2017, Jessie Daniels, a white woman and professor at the City University of New York, said: He wrote a series of tweets In it, she said that “the white nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy” and that families “who give birth to white children” are “part of the problem.”
Of course, she received a lot of angry reactions and got her five minutes of media attention, but she did not lose her job. People like Jesse Daniels “educate” America's children. There are thousands of people like Jesse Daniels in schools and colleges across America.
Personally, I don't think all New Yorkers are that naive. They imagine a world without white people and think that would be a much better world.
