Roanoke Times Publishes Op-Ed From Self-Proclaimed “White Supremacist” Who Argues that Anyone Mentioning Racism Is a Racist, etc.


Generally speaking, I’ve viewed the Roanoke Times editorial board as not great, but not horrible in terms of partisan/ideological lean. As for their op-eds, they have a mix of views, from right to left, which is perfectly fine. But occasionally, the editorial page does something that just leaves me scratching my head, wondering what the heck they’re thinking. Today, sad to say, is one of those days, as the top article in their “Commentary” section is this…whatever the hell it is. Here are a few excerpts from what is a very poorly written op-ed, so – grasping at straws here – maybe there’s a chance this guy doesn’t actually mean what it seems like he means? And maybe – again, grasping at straws – the Roanoke Times editorial folks read this completely differently than I did (and several others I showed it to this morning)? (note: bolding added by me for emphasis)

• “The Kavanaugh feminists’ law that convicts without trial the one named for racist slaveholder Lord Fairfax.‘
• “Feminists have dictated that all women, regardless of intelligence, education and sense of fairness, are not allowed to decide things for themselves.”
• “Critical thinking, opposing positions that differ from the feminists’ male emasculation agenda cannot be tolerated by the thought police of their Orwellian Progressive society, now disguised as the Democratic Party.”
• “Dishonoring Lee, taking down statues, ignoring the racially-motivated actions of Charlottesville City Council and insulting anyone who opposed removal, including me, as a white supremacist is unconscionable.”
• “Anyone who introduces race into this conversation is themselves a self-identified racist.“
• “To all those who claim to be hurt by racial references along with ethnic humor from the past or by others honoring heroes of a war that, because of myopic self-centeredness some think was all about them……… get over it.”
• “Mr. Northam incurs a heightened opposition for his concurrence to murdering the new born. As if his support for abortion was not bad enough, this view descends to the River Styx.”
