The Texas Senate Democrat primary came down to a race between a black woman and a white man who both hate white people. And in a perfect embodiment of white privilege, the white man won. But woke white people are just better at hating white people than any black person could.
Still some are asking whether hating white people is really the best strategy for flipping Texas?
Democrats did everything they could to rig their Texas Senate primary for State Rep. Talarico over Rep. Jasmine Crockett because they figured that the former public school teacher and occasional woke preacher who describes god as “non-binary” and claims that multiculturalism is the kingdom of heaven would alienate fewer voters.
But Talarico, who is a white man, seems to hate white people more than Crockett ever could.
In recently unearthed tweets, James Talarico described whiteness as a “virus” that white people spread “through our words, our actions, and our systems.” He argued that “we don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious” and that “the only cure is diagnosing the virus within ourselves and taking dramatic actions to contain the spread. The first small step is proclaiming loudly and unequivocally that #BlackLivesMatter.”
In another tweet, he claimed that “radicalized white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in our country” and that “as a white man, I’m susceptible to the same radicalization. Thankfully, I was exposed to diversity at a young age and explicitly taught the values of equality, inclusion, and justice. But not every young white boy is so lucky.”
Talarico then bragged that he was writing “legislation to explicitly teach ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ in our schools” and mandating that schools hire DEI political officers. That bill ordered that students be taught “the history of white supremacy” which is to say that America is racist.
Anything short of that, Talarico claimed, would be “to teach our students a whitewashed version of American history” which is to say a history about white people written by white people.
And what do white people have to do with America anyway?
Two years after Americans decisively rejected wokeness, Democrats are trying to bring it back by elevating a man who calls unironically whiteness a virus that white people spread and rants about woke academic neologisms like “heteropatriarchy” which is to men marrying women.
Non-Hispanic white people make up 40% of Texas. Hispanics make up another 40% and many of them, despite the best efforts of the identity politics crowd, also view themselves as white. And see being white in a far more positive light than white leftists like Talarico choose to do.
White men created Texas and still play a major role in state politics. Is hating 40% of the electorate really a good political strategy?
The irony is that Democrats feared that Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who had led the primaries, would be too offensive to voters because of her frequent taunts about “white privilege”.
“The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys,” Crockett had falsely claimed about opposition to DEI indoctrination. She had described her Republican opponents as embodying “white privilege” and showing complete ignorance of history, including the American Revolution, insisted that “there has been no oppression for the white man in this country.”
Rep. Crockett had even condemned fellow white Democrats for voting in favor of a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk after his assassonation, claiming that he was a white racist and ranting that “it honestly hurts my heart is when I saw the no votes, there were only two Caucasians.”
And so the Texas Senate Democrat primary inevitably came down to accusations of racism.
The Crockett campaign accused Talarico of racism, claiming that he had called Rep. Colin Allred, a “mediocre black man”. Which is just the kind of thing that a white man who claims every other white man in the country is infected with the virus of white racism would say.
A Crockett supporter claimed that “electability is rooted in racism” and Talarico conceded that it could be, but argued that “I believe black women are electable.” But when push came to shove, he pushed and shoved Crockett out of the race using a series of dirty tricks beginning and ending with Stephen Colbert falsely claiming that the FCC stopped him from talking to Talarico.
Now a white man who claims white men are the problem has beaten a black woman who was the first to claim that white men are the problem which just goes to show that even a black woman isn’t going to be allowed to win a white man hating contest. Talarico claims however that he can win over white men, including Trump voters, by convincing them that they’re evil.
And then convincing them that he is the second coming of the savior of wokeness and, in his own words, that the “closest thing we have to the Kingdom of Heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy.”
But if California is the kingdom of heaven, why is everyone there moving to Texas?
In the end, white Democrats, in a sign of white privilege, voted for Talarico, black people voted for Crockett, and Latinos, who as Crockett once put it, are infected with a “slave mentality”, and think of themselves as white, also voted for the white man over the black woman who hates them. This is the local version of the ‘kingdom of heaven’ in the Texas Democratic party.
It’s a glorious “multiracial, multicultural democracy” in which black people vote for black people, and white people vote for white people, but the black people don’t apologize for it, while the white people do. It’s a real kingdom of heaven if heaven is a place where everyone hates white people, especially the white people, but no matter how much the white people hate other white people, they vote for white candidates who talk about how much they really hate white people.
