He specifically targets white women in the piece, painting them as villains who enabled Youngkin\u2019s win. Also, as typical of people indoctrinated in CRT, Ali seems to only look through the lens of race to explain why Democrats\u2019 policies are failing, instead of critically looking at all the reasons people vote the way they do.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Throughout the entire piece, Ali makes a caricature of white women and looks at them simply as a homogenous demographic with the sole intent of mashing down minorities \u2014a typical manifestation of CRT\u2019s directive to look at the world by race and divide people into \u201coppressed\u201d and \u201coppressor\u201d categories. At one point Ali sarcastically wrote that Youngkin \u201cshould reserve the parade for white women who came out for whiteness like a Bath and Body Works candle sale,\u201d though logically, an affinity for nice smelling candles and soaps extends to women and men of all races and ethnicities.<\/p>\n<p>Ali began, ironically using several terms central to CRT:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p>I never underestimate the <strong>white, hot rage<\/strong>, anxiety, and resentment of a Karen scorned. You might think you\u2019ve won them over with Beyonce, Oprah, chai latte, and henna, but the cult of Karen will always turn on people of color on a dime to <strong>uphold oppressive systems<\/strong> that ensure they remain influential and <strong>powerful handmaidens of white supremacy.<\/strong>&nbsp;[emphasis added]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ali then cited poll data showing that 75 percent of white women without college degrees voted for Youngkin and slammed them for voting for him over a \u201cmanufactured bogeyman,\u201d despite <a href=\"https:\/\/christopherrufo.com\/crt-briefing-book\/\">mountains of evidence<\/a> to the contrary. He wrote:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>They voted for a man whose single campaign message was about stopping the manufactured bogeyman of Critical Race Theory, the latest incarnation of the Southern Strategy, which most of his voters can\u2019t define and isn\u2019t taught in schools, but they are certain it is absolutely terrifying and worth canceling because it\u2019s making their kids hate white people and become transgender.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In fact, CRT was found being pushed in Virginia schools repeatedly \u2014 see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/15\/report-virginia-dept-of-education-told-schools-to-embrace-critical-race-theory-while-terry-mcauliffe-was-governor\/\">here<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/education\/2021\/05\/28\/exclusive-critical-race-theory-inside-virginia-countys-curriculum-racial-indoctrination\/\">here<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2021\/08\/11\/loudoun-county-teacher-resigns-over-districts-highly-politicized-critical-race-theory-agendas\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realchrisrufo\/status\/1454470598168510464\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/06\/23\/exclusive-school-teacher-ousted-for-helping-expose-critical-race-theory\/\">here<\/a>. The author also flippantly brought up the transgender debate without mentioning that a girl was actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2021\/10\/26\/teen-found-guilty-of-forcible-sodomy-in-loudoun-county-school-girls-bathroom-attack\/\">raped by a boy wearing a skirt<\/a> in a Virginia school bathroom, only to have the school board engage in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/14\/nolte-loudoun-county-defends-alleged-rape-cover-up-attacks-victims-father\/\">massive coverup<\/a> perpetuated by the Biden administration\u2019s subsequent attempt to label conservative parents \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/06\/biden-launching-coordinated-campaign-intimidate-parents-domestic-terrorists\/\">domestic terrorism threats<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No matter the literal piles of evidence that CRT is a real problem in schools, Ali did not engage on any logical front. Instead, he proceeded to lay out how white women have played a historical role in upholding a system to preserve \u201cwhiteness at all costs.\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p>Why <strong>dismantle a system<\/strong> where you can always be the victim and weaponize your tears into bullets against Black and brown bodies? When doing the right thing means that your white son and daughter would have to compete equally with children of color in academics, sports, and the workplace, and your white husband won\u2019t get a head start on job promotions, higher wages, and bank loans compared to colleagues of color? Why <strong>dismantle a system<\/strong> that will protect your white children from having to confront the <strong>enduring sin and trauma of white supremacy<\/strong>, which includes slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, xenophobia, and racist dog whistles that continue to degrade, humiliate, and incarcerate so many people of color?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Again, \u201cdismantling the system\u201d and talk of generational sin is part of CRT\u2014 yet another example of circular thinking on Ali\u2019s part as he tried to discredit and gaslight conservatives into believing CRT indoctrination is not a real problem.<\/p>\n<p>Ali further broached the fact that these apparent \u201cracists\u201d elected two people of color, Republican Attorney General elect Jason Miyares, a son of Cuban immigrants, and conservative Winsome Sears, the state\u2019s first female, black lieutenant governor. He then proceeded to slam well-know black conservatives , because of course [as per leftist thought] black people can only vote Democrat or they are guilty of participating in \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d He went on to write they apparently:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p>\u2026provide[s]&nbsp;further cover of color to many of these white women and GOP voters who delude themselves into believing they have \u201czero racist bones in their body\u201d because they elected two people of color. Of course, no person of color has<strong> ever caped for whiteness, embraced racist policies, and echoed racist dog whistles<\/strong> to attain fame, fortune, or political office. Oh, hello, Candace Owens and Larry Elder! Sorry, I didn\u2019t see you, the ghost of Herman Cain! [emphasis added].<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Again, again, the idea that whiteness is an \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/opinions\/2021\/7\/23\/white-is-not-a-colour-white-is-an-ideology\">ideology<\/a>,\u201d and that black people can be \u201cwhite supremacists,\u201d stems from CRT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe manufactured CRT panic isn\u2019t going away, and it will work wonders across the nation, especially with white moms, unless Democrats confront it head on. Democrats need to take this seriously and develop a counter-message, because ignoring it isn\u2019t an option,\u201d Ali concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The author is right about one thing \u2014 Democrats do need to \u201ctake this seriously,\u201d but not in the way Ali proposes. The media and Democrats\u2019 repeated refusal to engage in the argument and look at the evidence is precisely why parents came out in droves to elect Youngkin, [among other reasons, i.e. the economy and jobs.] They did not feel heard by Democrat officials, they did not want another Democrat in power, and so they cast their ballots and Youngkin won.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, lots of other demographics besides \u201cwhite women\u201d voted for Youngkin. For example, a Fox News exit poll found that Youngkin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/02\/virginia-exit-poll-youngkin-wins-big-hispanic-voters\/\">garnered 54 percent<\/a> of the Hispanic vote, despite the fact that Latinos typically vote blue in Virginia. Are they too white supremacists? Or are they also worried for their children and think the government has overplayed its hand?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Ali\u2019s illogical perspective is living proof of why not just \u201cwhite women\u201d are worried about CRT and their children \u2014 his whole racist rant shows just how much vitriol and divisiveness the ideology creates between races, as seen by his implicit hatred for white people woven through his entire op-ed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Daily Beast op-ed writer, who seems to be suffering from severe cognitive dissonance, apparently swallowed so much Critical Race Theory (CRT) propaganda that he does not even seem to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-969893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=969893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=969893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=969893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=969893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
