Thom Hartmann vs. Matthew Heimbach: Are white groups inherently racist?

Last edited Tue Dec 11, 2012, 05:03 PM - Edit history (1)

(Edited title per YouTube channel edit. Originally "Is the white race an endangered species?&quot



(From today's radio show) Thom Hartmann debates Matthew Heimbach, Founder of the White Student Union-Towson University (Matt is also a member of the Maryland League of the South & the Sons of Confederate Veterans), who says the white race is indeed an endangered species.

Heimbach also appeared on Thom's TV show on Thursday night:



Sadly, videos with this subject matter attract the stupidest, most ignorant, and paranoid types of people you'll find on the Internet. The comments sections for both videos already have the usual gang of people calling Thom an anti-white Jew or self-hating white man or pro-genocide or anti-white. No, those aren't just dumb high school kids who think they're so tough and dominating by posting empty shock rhetoric on the Internet. It seems that even educated adults have bought into this "anti racist is a code word for anti white" BS.

Kicked & rec'd for visibility.

That this kind of thinking is still being incubated around this country is scary.

doesn't bother me in the least bit. Like Thom. I'm glad someone knows the world around him.

Um, Matthew, honey, as long as "white" people procreate, their "race" is in no danger of extinction. I think your problem, foolish Matt, is that "white" people's POWER structure is in danger of extinction. You know, Matt, that power structure based on patriarchy that dismissed, demeaned and demonized anyone NOT male, Eurocentric, Wasp, Catholic, quasi-caucasian, etc. etc., (i.e. African, indigenous, Arabic (Muslim) Asian, non-christian, hispanic etc. etc. and/or female). Too bad, for you, Matt. But, very good for the rest of us. The death of patriarchy means also the death of willful ignorance, for the most part. Deal with it, Matthew. Oh yeah, one more thing, Matt: just for the record, "race" is a Eurocentric, caucasian, christian, western construct. This will be hard for you to accept, Matthew, but ground zero for human origins is Africa (i.e., we are ALL Africans), just as all the continents are simply break-a-ways, calved from Mother Africa. Again, Matthew, just deal with it. Then, shut the hell up.
