IS WALMART 'RACIST'? - BEEN IN A WALMART THAT HIRED ANYONE NOT MEXICAN?

IF YOU'VE BEEN IN A TARGET IN MEXIFORNIA YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY EMPLOYEE WHO IS NOT MEXICAN. WHILE MOST ARE PROBABLY NOT ILLEGALS, MANY ARE AND CAN'T SPEAK A WORD OF ENGLISH. THEY DO THE CLEANING. 

HOW IS IT THEY ARE STILL ALL MEXICAN? THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT MOST MEXICANS CONSIDER THEMSELVES A 'RACE', i.e., LA RAZA SUPREMACIST, AND DON'T WANT TO WORK WITH ANYONE WHO IS NOT MEX. ERGO, YOU WILL ONLY FIND MEXICANS WORKING IN TARGET.

DITTO ALL FAST FOOD OPERATORS IN MEXIFORNIA. NOT A SINGLE EURO DESCENDENT, BLACK OR ASIAN WILL FIND A JOB A McDONALDS OR JACK IN THE BOX. THEY ONLY HIRE MEXICANS AND, UNLESS THE EMPLOYEE IS SPEAKING TO THE CUSTOMER, THEY SPEAK THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE OF SPANISH.

THIS IS THE REALITY PERPETRATED BY THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY'S ASSAULT ON THE AMERICAN WORKER FOR MORE 'CHEAP' LABOR MEXICANS. IT HAS DESTROYED MIDDLE AMERICA AND WILL ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE NATION ITSELF. 

CALIFORNIA IS NOW NOTHING MORE THAN A THIRD-WORLD DUMPSTER STATE AND COLONY OF MEXICO.

BUT FEINSTEIN, PELOSI, AND KAMALA HARRIS HAVE GOTTEN RICH SERVING THE RICH.


Et tu, Walmart?

I’m not a fan of Walmart because buying from Walmart means buying from China. Therefore, I try to shop there as infrequently as possible, although sometimes there are no alternatives (as happened today when I spilled 20 ounces of iced tea onto my ergonomic keyboard, necessitating an emergency Walmart run). When I returned from Walmart, I learned of yet another reason I want to avoid the place: Beginning in 2018, Walmart went all-in on Critical Race Theory, teaching its low-paid hourly workers that the U.S. is institutionally a “white supremacist system” complete with “internalized racial superiority.”

Ironically, Walmart, which rich leftist snobs nastily associate with poor White America and which gets most of its product from the incredibly racist nation of China, contracted with a virulently racist CRT provider to teach its employees race hatred. (It will help you understand what’s going on here if, every time you see or even think about the acronym “CRT,” you translate it to “KKK.” The colors are different; the racial prejudice, stereotyping, and deep hatred are all the same.)

Here, in its entirety, is Christopher Rufo’s thread about Walmart’s disgraceful—and illegal (so I really hope someone brings a class action suit)—conduct:

Bless Rufo for making the point I invariably make about these woke companies, which is that management is grossly hypocritical. Here, as everywhere, the institution's management is White and has no intention of giving up its privilege. And it’s not just CEO Doug McMillon. At Walmart, most of the people in leadership are lily-white, with just a handful of Blacks, East Asian Indians, and Asians--and as best as I can tell, no Hispanics at all. I’m sure all would be appalled at the suggestion that they should hand their jobs, bank accounts, homes, and kids’ college funds to the deserving minorities harmed by their ostentatious White privilege.

As for me, next time I need an emergency Chinese-made keyboard replacement, I’ll make the much longer drive to Office Depot—although as things are going now, I expect to learn that every big corporation in America has been purveying this disgusting racist garbage.

Nolte: Walmart Training Accuses White Employees of Being Racist

“Walmart Inc. has launched a critical race theory training program that denounces the United States as a ‘white supremacy system,'” the  City Journal’s Christopher Rufo reports. He adds that the Walmart brainwashing also “teaches white, hourly wage employees that they are guilty of ‘white supremacy thinking’ and ‘internalized racial superiority.'”

In other words, Walmart is teaching its own hard-working employees that your moral character is based on your skin color, that if you are white, there is something morally wrong with you; if you are white, you are a wretched creature, and we know you are a wretched creature because you are white.

When America was sane, we called judging people’s character by their skin color an act of virulent racism, which, of course, is what this is. But with the Woke Nazis obviously in charge at Walmart, judging people’s character based on their skin color is now an accepted form of racism.

Telling someone their white skin proves they are a racist is no different from telling a black person their skin color proves they are a criminal or a Mexican their skin color proves they are lazy and drink too much tequila.

More from Rufo:

Since the program’s launch, Walmart has trained more than 1,000 employees and made the program mandatory for executives and recommended for hourly wage workers in Walmart stores. When reached for comment, Walmart confirmed that the company has “engaged REI for a number of training sessions since 2018” and has “found these sessions to be thought provoking and constructive.”

Consequently, the Walmart program argues, white Americans have been subjected to “racist conditioning” that indoctrinates them into “white supremacy,” or the view “that white people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions of white people are superior to People of Color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions.”

Here’s my favorite part:

Walmart’s program argues that this oppressive “white supremacy culture” can be summarized in a list of qualities including “individualism,” “objectivity,” “paternalism,” “defensiveness,” “power hoarding,” “right to comfort, “and “worship of the written word”—which all “promote white supremacy thinking” and “are damaging to both people of color and to white people.”

So if you believe in things like individualism, the very thing that made America the most powerful, wealthy, prosperous, and peaceful country in history, the very thing that eradicated poverty, fed the world, and saved countless lives with our science and technology, that means you’re a racist.

Well, if individualism, which is the very political idea that guides all of my political beliefs, is racist, then I’m the biggest goddamned racist ever born.

Walmart also teaches its employees that “objectivity” is racist, as is “the right to comfort.”

Both of those ideas are the very bedrocks of Western Civilization, and Western Civilization guided by Judeo-Christian beliefs is the most extraordinary thing that ever happened to mankind.

People have every right to be outraged that Walmart would teach its employees this sick shit, that Walmart would accuse its own employees of being racists, but we shouldn’t be alarmed by it.

Woke is a violation of human nature. Critical Race Theory is a violation of human nature. But, like its godfather, McCarthyism, its shelf life and ability to influence are quite limited.

People talk before the start of a rally against "critical race theory" (CRT) being taught in schools at the Loudoun County Government center in Leesburg, Virginia on June 12, 2021. - "Are you ready to take back our schools?" Republican activist Patti Menders shouted at a rally opposing anti-racism teaching that critics like her say trains white children to see themselves as "oppressors." "Yes!", answered in unison the hundreds of demonstrators gathered this weekend near Washington to fight against "critical race theory," the latest battleground of America's ongoing culture wars. The term "critical race theory" defines a strand of thought that appeared in American law schools in the late 1970s and which looks at racism as a system, enabled by laws and institutions, rather than at the level of individual prejudices. But critics use it as a catch-all phrase that attacks teachers' efforts to confront dark episodes in American history, including slavery and segregation, as well as to tackle racist stereotypes.

Keep pointing and laughing at this garbage.

This, too, shall pass.

Why a ‘National Divorce’ Cannot Be Civil, but Would Inevitably Mean Civil War

Many conservatives have talked recently about the need for a “national divorce” due to irreconcilable differences with the progressive left.  We should be clear about what we’re talking about, though, when we suggest the prospect of a “national divorce.”

We are talking about secession.  And secession, in America, is anything but a civil or amicable process, and it’s useless to imagine it would be otherwise. 

It’s only truly been attempted once, after all, and it led to the bloodiest war in our history.

Certainly, there are practical differences between secession and civil war.  But in America, these are distinctions without meaning, because with secession comes “civil war,” if one chooses, as we have, to characterize the American conflict of 1861-1865 that way. 

Perspective matters when it comes to defining these circumstances.  The American colonials sought independence in 1776, for example, and would have gladly done so peacefully.  In their eyes, the cause for independence from Britain was a righteous assertion of a natural right, and their war was a defensive one.  In the eyes of the British, however, the colonials were treasonous rebels to be subjugated with ruthless force.

Such was the state of opinions in 1861, in a remarkably similar set of circumstances.  However, there was a difference.  In 1861, the seceding states believed not only that their cause was righteous, but that they had asserted not only a natural right but the legal right to achieve independence via legislative self-determination.

And they certainly sought a peaceful separation.  As Jefferson Davis openly declared, the newly formed Confederate States of America in 1861 sought “no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were formerly confederated; all we ask is to be let alone.” 

Neither the declaration of the desire for a peaceful separation nor this presumed legal right to legislative self-determination by the seceding states made any difference, as we know.  The attempt was militarily thwarted with ruthless force by the Union armies in order to subjugate the treasonous rebels who sought independence.

Here is what’s most important for us to know today.  There was not war in 1861 because the seceding states desired war, or, contrary to popular fiction, because of the moral crime of their having practiced slavery.  There was war because there was a bedrock, nation-defining question around the legitimacy of state secession that had yet to be answered. 

That answer to that question was finally settled in 1865. 

It would certainly be convenient if we could accomplish an amicable “national divorce,” but that would require, at the very least, a nationally understood belief that states are willing participants in voluntary union of American states.  Unfortunately, progressives certainly don’t believe that, and neither do most conservatives.

Herein lies the conflict of visions that once led us from the potential for peaceable secession of the states to violent reunification of a nation through open war in 1861. 

The question of whether our republic is a voluntary or perpetual union has long been a subject of debate.  In the Articles of Confederation which preceded the Constitution, the provisions therein were stipulated to be “inviolably observed by every state, and the Union shall be perpetual.” 

Inconvenient for those arguing in favor of the legal legitimacy of a perpetual union, however, is that the musings of Articles of Confederation are abrogated by the Constitution, and the latter is entirely silent on the matter of secession.  Any who have given even mild study to the diligence and care with which the Constitution explicitly enumerates the powers of the federal government should have difficulty explaining the absence of an explicitly defined federal mandate to militarily enforce a “perpetual union” if the Framers’ intention was to establish one. 

This leaves arguers in favor of our nation’s design as a perpetual union reliant on pure postulation.  Abraham Lincoln was one who unconvincingly argued in his First Inaugural Address that:

I hold, that in contemplation of universal law, and of the Constitution, the Union of these States is perpetual.  Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments.  It is safe to assert that no government proper, ever had a provision in its own organic law for its own termination.

Here, we see Lincoln, one of the most gifted orators and debaters in American history, is eliding the real point. He freely concedes that the Constitution may not “express” that the Union is perpetual, but that in the penumbra, one might say, of all foundational law of “national governments” is the implied suggestion that the government is designed to exist in perpetuity.  After all, he suggests, if national governments were not meant to perpetually exist, then they would have surely scribed into law a mechanism to destroy themselves.

The suggestion that a righteous mandate to forcibly maintain a perpetual union on the strength of “implied” rather than “expressed” power of the government is extraordinarily weak justification for his treating the prospect of secession as “rebellion.” 

Furthermore, secession is not tantamount to “termination” of government. If two states secede from the Union, for example, the government would not cease to exist or be “terminated” -- it would just exist with fewer states, just as the addition of two states to the Union does not alter the Union’s state of existence, but only means that its form in that it will now be composed of two more states. 

There’s also an element of hypocrisy here that cuts against the argument Lincoln made in 1861.  He had spoken very favorably of the Texian revolution against the national government of Mexico, which must have also been, according to his logic in 1861, designedly “perpetual” in nature:

Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.  This is a most valuable -- a most sacred right -- a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world…

Interestingly, the reason that Lincoln held this view in 1848 leads us to the most important argument in favor of the United States having been formed as a voluntary Union of states, rather than a perpetual one.  And that is the Declaration of Independence.

Unlike the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration was not nullified by the Constitution.  It does not stand as a substitute for the Constitution, but as the reason for its very existence. In short, the Constitution is the “how” of the United States, and the Declaration is the “why.”

It was from this fount that Lincoln undoubtedly drew in 1848, as is evident by the language.  Jefferson wrote in 1776:

[W]hen a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

What does any of this mean today? 

It means that state secession is, indeed convincingly, entirely consistent with the foundational principles of our republic.  But that simple truth no longer matters, because the question as to whether we are a voluntary union (thereby allowing for civil separation) or perpetual one (thereby requiring ruthless force to maintain) has been precedentially settled through violence.  We are taught in our schools that the ruthless and forcible preservation of that union is righteous and well within the powers of the federal government.  And the vast majority of Americans, left and right, simply accept all of this as fact.

Couple with this the fact that states wishing to secede would necessarily be deficient in federal power, and we should have every reason to believe that the powerful federal government would see any effort by a subordinate state to leave the United States as an act of rebellion.

maintain that secession and civil war don’t appear to be on the immediate horizon, given that the balance of power in government is such that neither side is hopeless to express its own regional autonomy, to some extent, or to exercise representative power at the federal level.  But the simple fact is that any talk of a civil or amicable national divorce is nothing but a fantasy -- and not a very helpful one, at that.
