The Left Will Never Forgive Renee Good For Being White

Who would want to risk his life for a cause if he is still going to be an indelible racist even after giving up his life for that cause?

It could be the premise of a Monty Python sketch or a Mel Brooks movie, but it’s a question every leftist insurrectionist in Minneapolis, etc. should ask themselves.

As others have noted, the left wanted Renee Good’s death to be the second coming of George Floyd. But there were problems. There was the footage of the incident, especially from the ICE agent’s bodycam, that clearly showed him being struck by Good’s 4,000-pound Honda. There was Elon Musk’s ownership of X, which allowed actual facts to stand against leftist lies like Good was just dropping off her kids at school. And there’s the problem that Good was white.

It is this last one that is the most problematic for the left. A fellow, white, female empath admitted on camera that she felt “wrong” protesting for Good since she herself — and thus Good as well — as a white woman, had “white privilege.” “White tears are not always something that’s helpful,” she concluded. BLM holdovers took to X to wag their fingers at supposed allies who dared to give Good “Say her name!” honors, lecturing that that phrase was for black women and black women only. As Christian Heiens put it on X, leftism is the only ideology that demands total subjugation and will still treat you like garbage after you die for it.

And it is not just Good. Remember Aaron Bushnell, the 25-year-old U.S. Air Force serviceman who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy because he was “no longer going to be complicit with genocide?” That should have pushed Bushnell to the heights of the left’s Olympus. Instead, The Washington Post said he was not a hero. Activists posing as intellectuals Lilliputianed Bushnell by saying, “In a way, we’re all burning. All Bushnell did was show it.” Even immolating himself for the holy cause of Palestine was not enough to forgive Bushnell of the unforgivable crime: Not only being a white man but a white man who was an active member of the American military.

Hatred Towards Whites

A few things are happening.

First and foremost, we are seeing what has been obvious for some time: the left and the Democrat Party are built on hatred towards white people. As another X user said, if Good had been killed by an illegal alien, there would be no riots; Gov. Tim Walz would not have thumped his chestless torso and suggested Minnesota was at war with the federal government; the dancing puppet mayor of Minneapolis would not have told ICE (the same ICE that deported many illegal immigrants during the Obama administration with nary a peep from the media and the usual suspects) to “get the f*** out” of his city.

Good would have taken her place with Laken Riley, Mollie Tibbett, and all the other dead women swept under the rug by the left when it is inconvenient to their “noble immigrant” narrative.

Ideas Have Consequences

Second is the truth of the old adage, “Ideas have consequences.” Starting under Obama, the left’s main strategy for power has been to create its own caste system. Minorities, and especially women of minorities, were to be at the top (who was to take the pinnacle was never quite clear, though black “trans women” were probably there.) At the bottom were white men. White women were suspect but they were still above white men because they were women. This allowed the left to put everyone into their own pigeonholes based on melanin levels and who wanted to sleep with whom.

This, in turn, gave them the leverage to do two things: create scripts tailored for each group that all said the same thing:“You are oppressed and Democrats are your only hope!” (remember in 2012 then-Vice President Joe Biden telling black Democrats that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney wanted to “put y’all back in chains?”). This, in turn, made people easier to control. Anyone who went off script was an example of “multiracial whiteness” or proof that one was not “politically black” (i.e. a race traitor) and received immediate excommunication from the tribe.

White men, in this plan, had to prove that they were true allies to the Chosen Oppressed: Accept everything that these different pigpenned groups said without question. When necessary, protest for them. In this way, they could atone for their sin of whiteness. The left thought it could create its identitarian monster, unleash it every election cycle, and then shut off the juice in between times.

The George Floyd riots, however, were when the monster started to break loose. White people — not just men — were all racist. Racism was a biological condition of whiteness that no amount of seminars, DEI, or privilege checking could eradicate. White people were told to dismantle racism because “you invented it.” When knee bending, foot kissing, suicidal empaths then asked “How do we? I can’t see through my white privilege,” they were denigrated as racists. When white women did not turn out for Kamala Harris, the only solution was to make the United States a white minority country, a fact openly celebrated by the left.

The Left’s Precarious Position

We have now reached the point where even dying for the left’s cause can no longer atone for whiteness. Race is indelible, being white a mortal sin for which no absolution is strong enough; no blood is red enough to wash it away. This leaves the left in a precarious position. On the one hand, they still need their white, braindead, suicidal empath protestors. First, because America is still a white majority country. But also because minority status true believers are not going to put themselves on the front lines of their causes. Joy Reid said so. To the true believers, like Reid and Nikole Hannah-Jones, white people are pawns, a white cat’s paw. Get other people to do your dirty work for them. If they accomplish your goal, you’ve won without putting yourself in danger. If they fail, you can save face and (in the case of criminal charges, like impeding federal agents from enforcing federal law) you can claim innocence.

How many protesters will put this together? Video footage of the protests shows that there are still too many of these insurrectionists on the streets. But it’s easier to protest when you are being paid to do so. If the Trump administration can finally go after these networks for the criminal conspiracies that they are and cut off even half of the money, we might see an upsurge in common sense from some of these people. At the very least, we could see them finally asking themselves the question: Why am I letting myself be used as a pawn?
