Since my original post was removed, let's try this again with only the original link: Top Corporations Fund Former Obama Official Calling To 'Wage War on Whiteness' Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a "racial justice" group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called "white mediocrity" and urged a "woke" army of black youth "to wage war with whiteness." David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs. Johns is the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a black LGBT group that aims to fight "anti-Blackness." The nonprofit lists companies like Airbnb, Sephora, Sony, and Procter & Gamble as sponsors. Procter & Gamble, which sells household brands like Gillette and Charmin, contributed $515,000 to the National Black Justice Coalition in 2023, around one-fourth of the nonprofit’s budget, according to tax records. The Department of Health and Human Services under President Biden awarded the National Black Justice Coalition a $1.2 million contract through 2026 as part of the government’s "Let’s Stop HIV Together" campaign. It is unclear if HHS is still funding the coalition, but Johns said last month his organization was "proud to be a grantee" of the HIV program. Speaking at the anti-Target event, Johns endorsed the boycott and railed against President Donald Trump as a "fascist trying to rob us of our wealth." He also urged black consumers to shop at black-owned businesses as part of a movement to "reclaim … African ways of being." A few points I would like to make. They want to "reclaim African ways of being". What does that even mean? Poverty? Slavery? Because that is most of Africa's culture historically despite the amount of resources they have available to them. Another points, what is white people wanted to make a point of shopping at white owned businesses? Is that allowed or is that "racist"? So then by that standard why are black people allowed to openly be racist and only shop at black owned businesses? Please note, I don't really care where anyone shops. But I will always call out a double standard when I see it. Let's talk about whiteness in general and being white in America. Being a white child, your group is the only one taught from an early age not to celebrate your heritage. There is Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month. Heck pretty much every group, except for whites, have some sort of celebration. When a white kid is in school, white people are only discussed in a negative light, such as slavery, the Civil War, World War and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, any negative things about other races (because all races have committed crimes and atrocities at one time or another, no race is clean) is glossed over or flat out ignored. Even as adults, it is the unknown rule never to be proud of being white. We all know this. Just think about it this way: Black and proud to be black: Look at you, great that you are proud of your heritage. Show it with pride! Hispanic and proud to be hispanic: That is so awesome. Great that you are remembering your culture and you honor it! Muslim and proud to be muslin: Wonderful! You add so much to this country. Your unique culture is so amazing! Asian and proud to be asian: Asia is just so awesome. Everything is so colorful and pretty! Never forget where you came from! Now let's look at whites: White and proud to be white: Evil!!! Racist!!! You must be destroyed! We will make sure to destroy your life and cause you lose your job! Anyone see the difference there? I can explain more if needed, but I think it's pretty self explanatory. America, along with the world, is also experiencing a dramatic loss of white people. Is is not convenient that Europe has all but been taken over by Muslims and North Africans? A lot of mayors in England are now Muslim. It's only a matter of time before the UK has a Muslim Prime Minister. England, outside of the Royal Family and some tourist sites in London, culturally is gone. France, enough said there. As many Muslims and North Africans, if not more, than whites. Culturally they are gone. We are seeing cultural white genocide happening in Europe right now. And the U.S., Australia and New Zealand aren't far behind. Australia and New Zealand turn more and more Asian each year and the U.S., before Trump, was being invaded by Hispanics from Central America and South America. Let's be honest, this is why you all really hate Trump. You hate white people. You were enjoying seeing the U.S. become less white. You all want the U.S. to become a majority non-white country. Why do you not see Asian countries being overrun by immigrants? Why are African countries not overrun by immigrants? What about Muslim countries? Is it not very convenient that it is historically white countries that are being overrun by immigrants and having their cultures and traditions destroyed from within by those same immigrants. You can not tell me that it is not intentional, that it is white countries that are being targeted. That it is white countries almost exclusively that are being overrun by immigrants. And that the long term goal is the destruction of white people and whiteness itself. But please, I will try to be open minded. Tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me what I've said that isn't true.
And OklahomaGator, before you try to lock this threat, you have no basis. I followed every forum rule. The Washington Free Beacon is an approved site per your rules. I even posted 4 paragraphs since the article is more than 8 paragraphs long. I did not use any profanity, any Nazi or KKK references and no name calling. You have a problem with my views, discuss it with me, but I followed every rule you have posted to the best of my ability without compromising the point I want to make.
Tell me where I'm wrong. I've actually been to Africa once thank you very much. Good trip, would never even consider living there. Let me ask you this question. If Africa is so great, why is it there is next to no immigration to Africa outside of some black people with African heritage moving back there? Why is it the countries with the most immigration are almost always conveniently white countries, whether it's Europe, Canada or the U.S.?
I didn't see the Washington Free Beacon at the very bottom of the list. My mistake, thread is unlocked.
Hey it takes someone with good morals to admit they are wrong. I respect you more now OklahomaGator. But in all seriousness, read the article I posted, and tell me there isn't a war on whiteness, or in the very least an anti-white sentiment here in the U.S.
That guy never had the opportunity to eat my mom’s potato salad. If he thinks “white people” can’t make good potato salad, he’s an idiot. Given his words quoted in the article, the organization for which he’s the executive director should receive no funding from the federal government.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. These are deeply emotional and complex topics, and it’s important that we engage with them thoughtfully and constructively. I’ll respond to a few core points you raised to encourage respectful and evidence-based discussion. 1. Double standards and racial pride You're absolutely right that all people want to feel proud of who they are. But context matters. When marginalized groups express pride—like "Black and proud" or celebrating heritage months—it’s often in response to centuries of systemic oppression, exclusion, and attempts to erase their identity. “White pride,” by contrast, has historically been associated with supremacist movements, especially in the U.S. and Europe. That doesn’t mean white people can’t have cultural pride—it just needs to be rooted in cultural identity (e.g., Irish, Italian, German heritage), not racial superiority. 2. Representation in education There has been a growing debate over how history is taught in schools. Some argue that curricula overemphasize white wrongdoing (like slavery or colonialism) while underplaying contributions. Others argue that including these topics is long overdue. Education is still evolving, and the goal should be balance—recognizing both the achievements and the darker chapters of every group’s history, including European and white American contributions. 3. Calls to shop at Black-owned businesses Supporting minority-owned businesses isn’t about exclusion; it's often a way to close racial wealth gaps that have existed for generations. Just like buying local or women-owned products, it’s a choice some people make to support equity. If someone said “only shop at white-owned businesses,” the issue isn’t pride—it’s that the context in the U.S. includes a long history of exclusion, segregation, and economic dominance by white communities. That creates a different moral and historical weight. 4. Demographics and immigration Yes, immigration patterns are changing the racial makeup of many countries, including historically white-majority nations. But that isn’t the same as “genocide” or “replacement.” People move for opportunity, safety, or family—not to destroy cultures. Cultures evolve, and immigration is part of that evolution. Many of the fears around demographic change come from a place of uncertainty, but framing it as an intentional attack on whiteness can feed extremist narratives that have led to real-world violence. 5. Muslim, African, or Asian countries not being ‘overrun’ Many of these countries do have strict immigration policies—and different economic pull factors. But that doesn’t mean they're immune to cultural change or movement. Also, many Western countries actively promoted immigration for labor, economic growth, or refugee resettlement, often aligned with their own policies. In Summary: Your concerns about fairness, double standards, and identity are real and shared by others. But it’s critical to separate legitimate grievances from narratives that imply a global conspiracy to erase white people or “whiteness.” These ideas have been used by extremist movements to justify hate and violence. If we want to have honest conversations, we have to make space for every group’s fears and aspirations—but we also need to hold ourselves to a standard of truth, history, and empathy. Would you be interested in exploring the historical origins of terms like "whiteness" or how societies define racial identity over time?
Why should I be concerned about this nut job. My guess with these comments he will lose his rather paltry endorsements.
Getting more public attention to these kinds of issues will for sure directly put money back into my 401K
Congratulations jo, I never thought I would see the day when you made a post without using the words rapist, criminal or liar. I didn't think you were capable of posting without your TDS showing through.
Why are you telling me this? Also; its called having a shred of morality. As in "not gonna vote for a rapist. Or a traitor. " Feels good.
