White fragility doesn\u2019t equal white innocence. And one wonders, right, these are the same people who are so quick to call folks snowflakes. One wonders who\u2019s actually the snowflake here. When he was actually called out in real time.<\/p>\n<p>And so, part of way \u2013 let me just say this really quickly, Chris \u2013 we\u2019re not going to get beyond this if we hide behind civility. Civility is often the mask of cruelty. What Representative Tlaib did yesterday was to call it out in real time. And now, we can actually have a dialogue. I don\u2019t think she needed to apologize. She called it a racist act, she didn\u2019t call him a racist. So she gave him space to grow. But instead, you know, he cried crocodile tears. Instead of listening to what she was trying to say.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you take offense at someone trying to ruin your live by nonchalantly smearing you as a \u201cracist\u201d then you\u2019re a \u201csnowflake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/kristine-marsh\/2019\/01\/23\/msnbc-claims-anyone-wearing-maga-hat-looking-fight-covington-kids\">according to Glaude<\/a> a few weeks ago, if you\u2019re a white kid who smiles at a Native American while wearing a MAGA hat you\u2019re pretty much a Klansman telling \u201cblack people\u201d and \u201cbrowns\u201d (his words) \u201cto stay in their place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/536460\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Interesting how that works!<\/p>\n<p>      <!-- END CONTENT --><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333; font-size:11px;\">This article was posted: Friday, March 1, 2019  at  6:53 am<\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/><!-- share and follow --><br \/>\n      <!-- end of share and follow --><\/p>\n<div class=\"print_sub\">\n<h3 class=\"sub_titles\">&#13;<br \/>\n        \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/msnbcs-glaude-mark-meadows-white-fragility-over-being-labeled-racist-doesnt-make-him-innocent.html\/print\/\" title=\"Print\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-PrintIcon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-print\/images\/printer_famfamfam.gif\" alt=\"Print\" title=\"Print\" style=\"border: 0px;\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nPrint this page.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<p><!--\n      \n\n<div class=\"nextpage\">\n              <\/div>\n\n \n --    \n        \n    \n    \n\n\n    \n    \n\n\n<!--\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gm2pZEeYN0E?list=UUvsye7V9psc-APX6wV1twLg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n--\n\n           \n      \n    \n  ...\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/msnbcs-glaude-mark-meadows-white-fragility-over-being-labeled-racist-doesnt-make-him-innocent.html\">Read more<\/a>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris MenahanInformation LiberationMarch 1, 2019 MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude praised Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on Thursday for suggesting Republican congressman Mark Meadows is a \u201cracist\u201d and said Meadow\u2019s \u201cwhite fragility\u201d does not \u201cmake him innocent.\u201d Glaude said (via NewsBusters): And let\u2019s be very clear, too, that Mark Meadows\u2019 fragility, the fact that he teared up, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[519],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-397842","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-newswire"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397842\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
