Woah wait a minute, I didn't see this. It doesn't say that reading and writing is white supremacy. It doesn't say that at all.
It conflats that its a characteristic of white supremacy.
No it does not. It does not say that reading and writing is a characteristic of white supremacy.
Yes, it conflats it.
That worksheet looks like it backs up the article. What do you mean, "cant be honest"?
The actually way its worded:
Worship of the written word (one of nine core traits of white supremacy) = honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
The way the article frames it:
white supremacy = love of reading and writing
It's obviously trying to conflate the two. Honoring written contracts is not the same as worshiping the written word. If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was, they'd probably say "loving reading" or "loving writing" or something to that effect. It's super obvious propaganda.
It’s obviously trying to conflate the two.
No, it's not. It's defining the phrase.
It is saying:
- Worship of the written word
Is defined by:
- honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what's worse is that they are very clearly saying that "worship of the written word" is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you're missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.
If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was
If you did that, you'd get a million different answers. And that's why they defined it:
- honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
they’d probably say “loving reading” or “loving writing” or something to that effect.
You're just pulling this out of you ass.
It’s super obvious propaganda.
All you're doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn't there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.
What do yall call it? Dogwhistling?
Worship of the written word sounds like you love reading and writing. Lefties have a consistent problem with calling shit one thing, and trying to define it another. Everyone understands worship to mean 'love'. Like honestly, do yall really expect us to believe your nonsense? That you guys fucked up the messaging again?
And even if youre right, honoring contracts and nothing else is a trope of the devil. Trying to make that connection in kids brains is racist as hell.
Crazy stuff.
Meanwhile in America, police kill black people on a regular basis. While the black population of America is about 13%, in the prison system black people make roughly 37% of the population (prison policy.org) and the average Black and Latino households earn about half as much as the average White household and own only about 15 to 20 percent as much net wealth (federalreserve.gov). So it seems equally ridiculous to me to insist (and I have heard ppl say this) there's no more racism in America, that everyone has equal opportunity and everyone can prosper if they blah blah bootstraps and freedom and liberty. What's funny is that it's purveyors of bullshit pointing out someone else's bullshit in such a bullshitty way.
It doesn't help when you tell black kids that reading and writing is white people stuff.
Came to say I highly doubt it. @PizzaMan obviated the need, but I'm still saying something.
@Pizzaman didnt do jack shit. All he did was post the worksheet and claimed he won.
All he did was post the worksheet and claimed he won.
A quick reading of the actual material is all it takes to show this article to be full of shit.
