For their part, the entire episode took on the same style of aggressive wokeism that characterizes their \u201cRace2Dinner\u201d events.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with Rao and Jackson, the pair of activists rose to prominence in early 2020 when The Guardian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2020\/feb\/03\/race-to-dinner-party-racism-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published <\/a>a feature story on their high-end dinner parties, complete with self-flagellation for rich white women convinced of their own racism.<\/p>\n<p>Rao, who lost a Denver-area 2018 Democrat primary in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookpolitical.com\/cook-pvi\/introducing-2021-cook-political-report-partisan-voter-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most left-wing<\/a> congressional district of the American West not on the Pacific coast, runs a Twitter account, which is now private, that is easily one of the most racist feeds on the platform. One doesn\u2019t have to scroll down far to find Rao venting online about \u201cwhiteness\u201d or white people.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, Rao wrote, \u201cAmerica has always been fascist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know this, yes?\u201d she asked her more than 44,000 followers. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet.jpg 592w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-300x140.jpg 300w\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/figure>\n<p>Below are a pair of posts from last year in which Rao vilified white people as \u201ctoxic\u201d and \u201cruined the world.\u201d Replace the word \u201cwhite\u201d with any other racial identity \u2014 black, Asian, Hispanic \u2014 and Rao\u2019s account might have been suspended under Twitter\u2019s old rules regarding \u201chate speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"175\" src=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-3.jpg 594w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-3-300x88.jpg 300w\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-2.jpg 591w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rao-Tweet-2-300x146.jpg 300w\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>On \u201cDr. Phil,\u201d Rao and Jackson brought their own unrepentant racism into living rooms nationwide, exposing the vitriol of modern leftism that\u2019s embedded in identity politics, which is obsessed with skin color. <\/p>\n<p>While mocking Ambrosia\u2019s tears, Rao went on to charge the woman with being a racist for being white.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not racist,\u201d Ambrosia said on the show. <\/p>\n<p>The denial sent Rao into rage. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, you are,\u201d Rao said, speaking over the alleged white oppressor. \u201cYes, you absolutely are. If you don\u2019t see race, then you don\u2019t see racism, and then you uphold racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"zGEganFfxeOtMwsJUoc3\"><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>This is the lens through which left-wing ideologues see racism, where all members of the supposedly privileged class are expected to be held accountable for the wrongs of others even from injustice centuries ago. Rao and Jackson are eager to play the victim in their world of collectivized groupthink, amplifying their own victimhood as minorities on the program while demanding others pay the price for past racism. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t get treated the way I get treated in America,\u201d Jackson told Ambrosia, who was expected to come on stage and repent for her whiteness and was met with reflexive charges of racism when she refused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the time of this taping, which is right now, being nice hasn\u2019t ended racism,\u201d Rao said, justifying her and her business partner\u2019s aggressiveness, their hatred visible on screen.<\/p>\n<p>Rao and Jackson can\u2019t contemplate a colorblind world where individuals are judged by their own actions and not their skin color or their identity-politics-defined group. In fact, Rao and Jackson view such a world with contempt and even stormed out of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MfdGutwMXdE&#038;t=122s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">podcast <\/a>in 2020 when the book they assigned to the white women hosts, \u201cWhite Fragility,\u201d failed to convince the pair of their inherent racism.<\/p>\n<p>In Rao\u2019s documentary, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pqHlXKA96aQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deconstructing Karen<\/a>,\u201d a dinner guest named Marni describes how she sees the world, indifferent to race. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t phase me at all,\u201d Marni says. \u201cWhen we all bleed, we bleed red.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just going to drop the bomb here, that\u2019s white supremacy,\u201d Rao said in response. \u201cColorblindness is white supremacy. Do not teach your kids to be colorblind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the prevailing worldview among woke activists that has crept into the mainstream Democratic Party. For proof, look no further than California, where lawmakers are preparing to dole out hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations to black people at $<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/12\/02\/californias-reparations-plan-would-spend-almost-double-the-states-entire-budget-on-race-based-handouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">223,000<\/a> each, courtesy of innocent taxpayers \u2014 because nothing counters racism like more racism.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
