@CoachFelecia From time-to-time, ethnic personalities similar to that of #AndyNgo have appeared in right-wing movements ..

You just have to look for them.

These "ethnic" individuals aren't there to discover the truth!

@CoachFelecia They are their to provide a service. That is their value.

What is the service? They are weaponized to confuse the public while empowering "lily-white" delusions about black people.

@CoachFelecia These individuals...

Never thought their life could be
Anything but catastrophe

@CoachFelecia But, then, these personalities - the newly arrived right-wing ethnic immigrants (think Dinesh D'Souza) find a golden ticket: RACE.

@CoachFelecia The Bigot From Bombay

Dinesh D'Souza reeks of racism, hurts black sentiments, and has no regrets

@CoachFelecia The Bigot From Bombay

They find their golden ticket: Making money, scaring old white, men — about the plots from young, black, men.

Brown immigrants who make money off of black people's pain.

It's absolutely evil.

@CoachFelecia Andy ...

"The BLM-antifa narrative that police are murdering black and brown people in epidemic proportions needs to be thoroughly debunked. It is not supported by the evidence or data. This should be the job of the media, but it has been they who fan the flames of racial

Andy Ngo, Unmasked: Inside Antifa's

@CoachFelecia What #AndyNgo fails to mention: The data is available because of black activist.

(Nature)— Those data and studies have begun to materialize, spurred by protests in 2014 after the deadly shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the death by chokehold of Eric Garner'.

@CoachFelecia For Immigrants' Son, Vietnam Trip Led To More Conservative Worldview opb.org/pf/news/series…

@CoachFelecia This, I've seen before ...

The Children of Communism (coming to America) lecturing Black people who have been here for centuries: Progeny of The Transatlantic Slave Trade.

It's nothing new ...

Seen it a thousand times.

@CoachFelecia With no cursory grasp of black people in this country, and, mostly just off the boat; some of the newly arrived Asian immigrants (fleeing Communism) start to discuss “Our Negro Problem" with white conservatives. newrepublic.com/article/149143… -

@CoachFelecia People walking around in this country -- some just off the boat, just got citizenship last week (offering revised lily-white commentary about black people who have been here for 400+ years) who don't understand the dissimilar aspects of American slavery.

@CoachFelecia The Black experience is different from that of a Vietnamese immigrant fleeing Communism...

You can make terrible mistakes, conflating Black people's unique history with that of other immigrants.

It's not the same -- totally different.

@CoachFelecia "The black experience is a living reminder that government is not alone as a potential threat to personal liberty. It is possible, as in the Jim Crow South, to build a government so weak that no one’s personal liberties can be protected."

@CoachFelecia “The libertarianism Goldwater embraced had its eyes fixed firmly on Communism. In the fight against the tyranny of a totalitarian ideology, the right failed to recognize that tyranny can flourish under a weak state.”

@CoachFelecia “Libertarianism protects personal liberty from being impaired by government. It creates weak states on the assumption that personal freedom will bloom in the absence of government intrusion.”

@CoachFelecia The high-minded pursuit of personal freedom from government made Goldwater an accidental hero for segregationists. In the most noxious irony of the 1964 election, Goldwater as standard-bearer of “personal liberty” earned the endorsement of segregationist.

@CoachFelecia "Goldwater’s awkward alliance with racists launched a troubling trend. By elevating ideology over experience, the party of Lincoln was forging a strange new path."

@CoachFelecia “In theory, #libertarians loathed racial discrimination, but breaking #JimCrow would demand a sweeping expansion of Federal power that would intervene deeply into private life.”

@CoachFelecia Unlike in #Vietnam ...

"African Americans’ repression rose not so much from government as from the culture, ignorance and bigotry of their white neighbors."

@CoachFelecia And, what's amazing: Despite this happening: African American by the thousands went to Vietnam.

Many died there....

Africans dead in Vietnam - not Africa. Not America.
Vietnam 🇻🇳.

@CoachFelecia And, now, we have to deal with these new (ethnic) immigrants joining hands with the alt-right, working with our old enemies - enemies who have centuries practicing racism.

@CoachFelecia Extreme anti-government rhetoric devoid of nuance or constraint creates well-justified fear in minority communities. Libertarian values have historically failed them, leaving them exposed to terrifying oppression.

@CoachFelecia “Lack of a moral dimension for liberty is a #libertarian Achilles heel and many wind up becoming apologists for imperiling the very freedom that they promote.”

— Shamara Riley, founder of Booker Rising,

@CoachFelecia The primary rationale for conserving an immoral and RACIST apartheid system was that it was supposedly a bulwark against Communism - another immoral system. But, all that did was signal to many in Africa/South America the hypocrisy of those claiming to defend liberty & democracy.

@CoachFelecia It wasn't Communism that enslaved African Americans for 300 years, and then after freeing them, set up 90 years of Southern apartheid. It wasn't Communism that set up Apartheid in South Africa.

That was White Nationalism.
That was White Supremacy.

@CoachFelecia “While many socially liberal religious leaders decried apartheid , Robertson openly supported it because he felt that it was a bastion against communism. For Robertson, everything else was secondary to defeating what he saw as the enemies of God.”

@CoachFelecia #Conservatism101

“Whenever a separation is made between liberty [be it economic or other] and JUSTICE, neither, in my opinion, is safe.”

— Edmund Burke (widely regarded as the philosophical founder of modern conservatism.)

@CoachFelecia Due to its disdain for facts, embrace of racist, and a gleeful indifference to racism: lily-white conservatism has actually legitimized Marxism in the eyes of many young people of color.

They want a capitalism without White Supremacy.

@CoachFelecia Marxist are forever hunting for the crisis in capitalism that will bring it to it’s knees, but there are few things that can accomplish this -- but two things that can: #racism and #indifference.

@CoachFelecia “It was Dick Cheney who,while serving as Wyoming’s Republican congressman back in 1986,found it simply beyond his capacity to distinguish between a freedom fighter committed to ending South Africa’s brutal system of apartheid—one of the most evil political systems ever to scar.”

@CoachFelecia From the Lily-white movement to White Conservatives for Apartheid; you start seeing a pattern — and race is an essential component; not an outlier — ESSENTIAL.

It’s oxygen and water.

@CoachFelecia White Conservatives & Apartheid

As Sam Kleiner demonstrates in Foreign Policy, #apartheid would ultimately draw some of America's most celebrated conservatives into its orbit.

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

@CoachFelecia The roster includes Grover Norquist, Jack Abramoff, and Senator Jeff Flake.

@CoachFelecia “Jerry Falwell denounced Desmond Tutu as a "phony" and led a "reinvestment" campaign during the 1980s. At the late hour of 1993, Pat Robertson opined, "I know we don't like apartheid, but the blacks in South Africa, in Soweto, don't have it all that bad."

@CoachFelecia “Jerry Falwell was against him. Pat Robertson was against him. Dick Cheney was against him, and William F. Buckley was against him, and George Will was against him, and Grover Norquist travelled to South Africa to be against him, ...

@CoachFelecia and the Heritage Foundation was against him, ...

@CoachFelecia .. and of course Ronald Reagan was steadfastly and famously against him.”

@CoachFelecia George Will on Apartheid, 1985

“Clearly some of the current campaigning against South Africa is a fad, a moral Hula Hoop, fun for a while. Regarding interest in a foreign crisis, even altruism is not fuel for the long haul. For a foreign crisis to preoccupy a relatively content

@CoachFelecia .. society such as ours, it must affect a vital interest in a majority on a continuing basis. Injustice in Africa does not.”

@CoachFelecia “Rep. Jeff Flake, who is running for Senate in Arizona, denied this weekend that he had ever supported the Apartheid government in South Africa while a lobbyist for a Namibian uranium mine, but new audio reveals that his denial may not hold water.”

@CoachFelecia How African Americans opened the door to immigrants of color -- like #AndyNgo

White Supremacy was a key driver in Congress passing the Immigration Act of 1917, effectively banning #ASIAN and #Mediterranean people from entering the United States.”

@CoachFelecia The Children of Africa (barely free themselves) defending asians like #AndyNgo — (he's not even born, yet). And, yet he is an Asian beneficiary of African American pain: But, do asian immigrants, like him, even acknowledge this — fully grasp the sacrifice?

@CoachFelecia The Civil Rights Act played a profound role in ending [racist] “race-based” #immigration quota system in America.

facingsouth.org/2017/02/how-ci…

@CoachFelecia How the Civil Rights Movement Influenced U.S. Immigration Policy

usccb.org/issues-and-act…

@CoachFelecia "Just as civil rights legislation aimed at stopping discriminatory practices aimed at African Americans (e.g. #JimCrow)the 1965 immigration legislation sought to eliminate discriminatory and racially based practices that determined who could and who could not MIGRATIE to the US".

@CoachFelecia “No matter how large the issue of falsehood that an experienced liar has to offer, it will NEVER be large enough … to cover the immensity of factuality.”

— Hannah Arendt

@CoachFelecia Momma Africa hired a black defense attorney for Asian immigrants (for #AndyNgo).

His name was Frederick Douglass.

@CoachFelecia The little secret that many will never tell you...

Barely free our own selves....

For over a century, African Americans have been the one strongest advocates for Asian Americans.

We are rarely recognized for it.

@CoachFelecia The Black Case for #Chinese Immigrants

By Frederick Douglass

“In an 1869 speech in Boston, Frederick Douglass challenged social observers by advocating for the acceptance of Chinese immigrants.”

@CoachFelecia Douglass's #ADOS side....

Frederick Douglass (1853): "Every hour sees the black man elbowed out of employment by some newly arrived emigrant."

@CoachFelecia ...."whose hunger and whose color are thought to give him a better title to the place."

@CoachFelecia And, despite these early warning signs: He still advocates for these newly arrived immigrants -- even though "they have nothing to do with us blacks".

@CoachFelecia The "What Do I Have To Do With It " Newly Arrived Monsters

"They protested against the Civil War draft. In the aftermath of the war, Irish American anti-Blackness was pervasive, as illustrated by cartoons like this"

"This decline can be attributed to a general upswing in Lily-White challenges across the South – initiated with President Herbert Hoover’s blessing ."

@CoachFelecia “It is a terrible paradox, but those who believed that they could control and define Black people divested themselves of the power to control and define themselves.”

"And part of the rage is this: It isn't only what is happening to you. But it's what's happening all around you and all of the time in the face of the most extraordinary indifference"

@CoachFelecia “I cannot prove it. I cannot prove it because the Police Department investigates itself, quite as though it were answerable only to itself.”

@CoachFelecia @APA White Nationalism & Communism

If you think hard about it: White Nationalist don't really respect capitalism; which is why they keep intervening in it;they don't want ethnic competition in the market. They want to racially monopolize the market.

And, that will ensure its demise.

@CoachFelecia @APA If you were a black person in South Africa or living under Jim Crow; two dominant options are presented to you

1) Marxism on the left

2) Capitalist Racism - racist (or indifferent) conservatives claiming to be defenders of Capitalism while defending Jim Crow & Apartheid.

@CoachFelecia @APA Blacks were often faced with choosing two terrible choices; neither of which defended their interest, just the interest of white Marxist and lily-white conservatives who minimized and typecast everything in economic terms — not racial.

@CoachFelecia @APA While it is true that Marxism poses a philosophical and economic threat to capitalism; it is equally true, that Marxism is not the ONLY threat to capitalism. Other things (injustice, immoral institutions, racism, bigotry) pose a threat to capitalism, too.

They are hypocrites.

Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of #libertyuniversity discussing how "integration" would destroy "our race". 👇🏿 #tcot #tlot

@CoachFelecia @APA In his 1964 sermon, Ministers and Marchers, Falwell attacked Martin Luther King Jr. as a Communist subversive and questioned “the sincerity and intentions...

@CoachFelecia @APA ...of some civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and others, who are known to have left-wing associations."

@CoachFelecia @APA “It is very obvious that the Communists, as they do in all parts of the world, are taking advantage of a tense situation, and are exploiting every incident to bring about violence and bloodshed.”

@CoachFelecia @APA "For Falwell, Civil Rights were not only anti-Christian but anti-American"

@CoachFelecia @APA Exploiting Marxism for racism doesn't make you a deep thinker; it makes you a monster!

Coming up with shady and fake (racial) narratives to gloss over white supremacy, won't solve the problem of White Supremacy.

@CoachFelecia @APA The impact of the past dosen't stop when white conservatives suddenly believe it stopped.

Once you put evil in the universe -- you don't get to choose how it ends.

That's not how it works.

@CoachFelecia @APA The Long Arms of The Atlantic Slave Trade still has impact.

@CoachFelecia @APA What is the cost benefit analysis of three centuries of RACIAL slavery -- followed by a Southern Apartheid system?

@CoachFelecia @APA “The only decent response in the face of the “pathological” behavior of American history’s losers is to conclude that, while we cannot change our ignoble past, we must not be indifferent to the contemporary suffering that is linked to that past.”

@CoachFelecia @APA It wasn't Communism that enslaved African Americans for 300 years, and then after freeing them, set up 90 years of Southern apartheid. It wasn't Communism that set up Apartheid in South Africa.

That was White Nationalism.
That was White Supremacy.
