CBC News explains why they're going down the toilet

We are 15 months into the cultural and social revolution sparked by the murder of George Floyd.

Here is CBC News Editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon 'splainin' their relentless pursuit of irrelevance; How CBC is diving deeper when it comes to newsroom diversity. 

It appears Brodie still has a ways to go on his path to enlightenment, as that "Editor-in-CHIEF" business is highly problematic in some circles. 

Odd that a pot-addled bumpkin would catch that... maybe CBC should hire me as a Wokeness Coach!

Then again, white folks in positions of influence and privilege generally make fools of themselves when bemoaning "lack of diversity."

One of the startling facts revealed in Brodie's article is that 64% of Indigenous guests on CBC talk about being Indigenous. 

Of course they do! That's why the CBC has them on. It's called "pandering," Brodie. Look it up before you dive any deeper!

Speaking of pandering, one of the few manifestations of the "cultural and social revolution," other than know-nothing millennials vandalizing statues, is the CBC's "Being Black in Canada" feature. 

I had no idea there were so many lonely Black trans kids in small prairie towns. Imagine the scarce resources CBC invested in ferreting out that scoop.

On the other hand, in their zeal to impress their audience with their commitment to diversity, the CBC brainiacs sometimes neglect to mention race at all. 

Take, for example, this story about the leader of the Proud Boys white supremacist terror group, Enrique Tarrio, going to jail for burning a Black Lives Matter banner.

Not a hint in the story that Enrique Tarrio is a Black dude!

Doesn't suit the prevailing narrative

Paranoid fantasies of the ruling class

For over a hundred years after the publication of Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto, America's oligarchs viewed communism as their greatest existential threat. 

That was mostly bullshit from the get-go. From the very beginnings of the Bolshevik revolution, Yankee carpet-baggers like Armand Hammer were doing brisk capitalisky business with the Bolshies. In fact, it was the commies more than the oil fields that eventually catapulted Hammer into the ranks of the billionaires.

Be that as it may, the threat of communism was a useful construct, at least until the collapse of the USSR in '91. Since then, the billionaire class, (which, oddly enough, has a very robust membership in formerly "communist" countries) has been a little hard up for a convenient catch-all excuse for their abuse and exploitation of the rest of us. 

We used to go along with the bullshit, because after all, the only option was totalitarian communism. Now that's been debunked, you'd think the abuse and exploitation might be called out.

No such luck. Although communism is no longer a threat, there is a new, even more odious threat; right-wing extremism. 

You know. White supremacists who swear allegiance to Enrique Tarrio, the Afro-Cuban "chairman of the board" of the (mostly fictional) Proud Boys. And of course, don't forget the Grand Wizard of the KKK (digital edition), Donny J. 

Yup, the new nazis are targeting America's democracy. And its capitalism too, because you can't have the one without the other. And it's just a matter of time till it is revealed that the GameStop bros and the Bernie bros were secret Trumpkins all along, and we certainly need to keep them away from the internet, where they spread dangerous conspiracy theories, like America is rigged in favor of the rich, because that's how the rich rigged it, and other such subversive terrorist right-wing crackpot lunatic theories.

And now, the GameStop bros have upped the ante in the domestic terror sweep-stakes. They have launched an unprovoked terror attack on the very beating heart of everything America stands for.

Billionaires.

Proud Boys boss exposed as FBI informant

Check this out. Not only is the leader of the feared "white supremacist" militia the Proud Boys a Black man, he's also got an impressive track record as a police informant!

Most US news platforms have at least dropped the white supremacist nonsense since Tarrio was arrested in Washington on Jan 4. Now they stick with some iteration of "domestic far-right terrorist extemists" when hyperventilating about the group, as even your typical 'merican tard finds it a little much to believe that a bunch of supposed white supremacists would allow themselves to be led by a Black man.

The CBC has no such reservations. If Bill Blair and Jagmeet Singh call them white supremacists, well, alrighty then! Besides, the entire House of Commons voted unanimously to label them a terrorist group, so they are obviously a serious threat to Canada's democratic values...

The real threat to our values will come further down the road. If we follow the US lead and call anti-government groups domestic terrorists, we'll soon be employing the same tactics of surveillance, deceit, and entrapment that we used against so-called Muslim terrorists. That's what's a threat to a free society, not a bunch of yahoos walking around in camo. 

Discovering Black Whiteness

Recall my confusion a couple weeks back when I discovered that the leader of White Supremacist militia the Proud Boys was actually a Black man?  Professor Cristina Beltran of NYU clarifies things for us with this helpful explainer in the Washington Post.

BIPOC voters too often voted for the allegedly white supremacist Trump because he offers them Multi-racial Whiteness!

Seemed like a crock of you-know-what, till I got to the nub of the matter well into the piece; the "whiteness" we're talking about is not a skin colour, but a "political color."

Got it? That explains how a Black man can lead a White supremacist organization. By extension, that must mean that the majority White members of the group must also believe that Whiteness is about political colur rather than skin tone.

Puts a whole new spin on "White Supremacy," doesn't it!?

Black dude takes over White Supremacist outfit

Here's a quote from a Guardian story about the Proud Boys, published Oct 1, 2020;

Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacists during the debate, and his suggestion that the Proud Boys “stand by” during the current 2020 election campaign sent shockwaves through American politics. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls the Proud Boys a hate group.

That's typical of the reportage about the group over the last several years. White supremacists are working with Trump to undermine America's smiley-face democracy, and create a thousand year Trumpian Reich!

So imagine my relief when I saw the headlines informing me that the leader of this vile band of proto-fascists had been taken into custody in Washington this morning. 

Whew! 

Maybe now that his feared street-fighting militia has been decapitated, Trump will finally throw in the towel, I hoped.

Anyway, the name of the arrested "Chairman of the Board" caught my eye; Enrique Tarrio. Hmm... sounds like a Mexican, I thought, but you don't want to jump to conclusions. Besides, how is it possible that a Mexican would be the leader of a "White Supremacist" group?

So I google the guy, and guess what? It's even better than that! Looks to me like the leader of America's most feared gang of white supremacists is black! Here's Enrique's photo from his Wikipedia page.

Enrique describes himself as "Afro-Cuban," and I see no reason to quibble with his self-assessment. He's certainly not any shade of "white" that I've ever seen.

White supremacy just ain't what it used to be.
