Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday pandered to an increasingly mainstreamed brand of white nationalism and railed against the nation’s multicultural underpinnings by attacking “all the -isms” which he declared on his final full day as the nation’s top diplomat “make us weaker.”
European = right kind of immigrant
Everyone else = suspect and from shit hole country
White boy role is over, you fat fuck.
[“Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they’re not who America is,” Pompeo a self-described “proud” descendant of Italian immigrants, tweeted on Tuesday morning. “They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker.”]
Thanks for the introduction, Mike.
Pompous Pompeo: Multiculturalism for me, but not for thee.
Yowza, Pompeous Asshole, America is a melting pot, you stinkin’ jackass.
I’m pretty sure that we have made a big deal about America as a big melting pot, a land of immigrants, where anyone in the world can make their way and be successful. There wasn’t an asterisk on that which said it was for whites only…we left that idea behind in the 1960s (finally!), so it’s sad to see it brought forward again by such a high ranking government official.
Yes, he’ll be gone tomorrow, and good riddance to bad trash, but the world does listen to this kind of thing, and it does hurt us not to respect other cultures, especially when we want to criticize their unjustified actions. If we argue that China is committing genocide against the Uighurs, it doesn’t work as well if we’re talking like racists attacking Chinese people. It’s just another thing the Biden administration has to clean up…and the world won’t take us seriously because they know we’re a close vote away from the racists taking over again.
And, honestly, it’s a stupid statement on its face…go to any town in the US, even small ones, and the restaurants alone make it clear that we are a melding of many cultures. The idea that the only Americans that matter are white ones is something to be rejected, and it looks like the Biden administration is taking that thought to heart.
The opposition to “all the -isms,” made by a Cabinet official and posted on a government account meant to represent the position of the United States abroad, could be interpreted as giving cover to the racist ideologies of the white supremacist groups
Could?
I’m more interested in what Pompeo steals and sells than what he says, his words have never had much influence.
This is what a person about to commit genocide
wouldDID say.
Also, Hitler considered the USA’s “multiculturalism” (which he pronounced “Judaized and negrified”) to be a weakness.
Before the Jews and the Blacks joined with Italian and Irish boys from Brooklyn to kick his butt, that is.
Sure he said that. It’s who he is and unoriginal platitude spewing average thinker. It depends on what vantage you take on multiculturalism. The American version of that term is an inclusive one. All the ism’s are one as Americans and European Whites are allowed in. If you have a different take…European Whites want out…you say what the fat man said.
As I see it Fat Man has 22.75 hours left of relevance. After that he goes and is forgotten.
Now now, everyone’s heard of the Founding Father Benito Rigatoni, no?
But is it worth the effort? Seems like he would be awfully fatty and nasty tasting.
So, basically, let’s celebrate the straight white Xtian patriarchy–especially those “glorious” slave owners, rapists, torturers and family separators–but not the other 70% or so of the nation, which is some mix of female, gay, non-Xtian or of color.
Umhuh.
Our local Indian Restuarant, “Ghandi’s” offers as part of it’s menu, “chicken tikka masala.” And next to it, “The national dish of England.”
Damn straight!
Amazing how the right tries to turn inclusivity into racism
“Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they’re not who America is.”
And here it is shown why the man was chosen to be America’s top diplomat.
last one is this dude
Bad @sniffit. No cookie biscotti.
