Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White

[BluegrassStateBlues]

ARRISON, Ark. (AP) — Harrison leaders who want to put the city’s racist past behind it are decrying a recently erected billboard that reads, “Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White.”

The billboard went up Tuesday along a major route through the northern Arkansas city. A radio station with an advertisement on an adjacent panel asked that its sign be removed so no one would think that it was connected to the white supremacist sentiment.

“I think this is awful,” Harrison Mayor Jeff Crockett told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper of Little Rock. “It does not represent the people of Harrison’s attitude or the way they feel about any races. I think we’re welcoming to all. It’s trying to represent a false image of the way Harrison is.”

1. It's a new racist meme, showing up across the country. We got it here in Eugene/Springfield.

2. Someone needs to buy the board above it "And the Idiot Says..." eom

3. More shit-spewing...

It basically says: "We're not the problem here. We're the victims!...

Idjits...

4. There doesn't seem to be any end

to the ignorance and pretzel thinking.

5. No, it's not

It means anti-hate. That billboard screams "Paranoid white people live here" at best.

6. I've seen this pop up

for a few years now. It's funny because when you look closely at that statement, the idiots who make this claim are ironically themselves painting all Whites as racist. When you drop the word "anti", they would be then be saying that racist= a code word for White.

7. Yeah. My little brain made exactly the same analysis, prettty much instantly.

Simple algebra--cancelling the same term from both sides of the equation.

8. THIS is the #1 result of searching this term...

An article DEBUNKING it! http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Anti-racist_is_a_codeword_for_anti-white

Also another takedown is the video, "The Moron Manifesto":

Near the billboard Thursday, about 30 people showed up to protest the sign. Two men showed up in support of the billboard, one with a sign reading "White People 4 Free Speech."

10. No.

Anti-White is racist.

Anti-Racist =/= Racist.

Fail.

11. Anti-Racist is code word for Anti-White Supremacy

Maybe whoever put up the billboard figures that eliminating white privilege = anti-white. They want to hold onto their unearned privilege and are unrepentant about it. So, they're jerks. They should have to sign their names to it so everyone knows who they are.
