The Washington Post is Now Pushing Black People to Leave America. Yes, Really.
Quote:“The Case for Leaving America to Escape Racism” is possibly the ugliest article you’ll ever read. Who could expect any more from “reporter” DeNeen L. Brown, who has made her bones ambulance chasing over racial issues. Like Al Sharpton, but without the charisma.
She begins her 6,500-word (yep) article in last Monday’s Washington Post by broadly describing the Volta River in Ghana, which actually has three constituent parts. But she doesn’t want to be specific, because although in her first lines Brown claims “this river carries the stories of my enslaved African ancestors” she later admits “I am not exactly sure where my ancestors are from,” and settles for them being “from this [African] continent.”
Africa, in case you were unaware, is about three times the size of the United States and could easily fit the U.S., China, India, Eastern Europe, France, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Italy, and a few more within its land mass, all at once. And despite not knowing her ancestral origin, Brown likes to imagine they’re from the (Portuguese-named) Volta River.
This is Race Grifterism 101. A fitting introduction – vague and unsubstantiated assertions coupled with claims of ownership over something picked almost totally at random – to a piece that only gets worse by the line.
Just 12 months into the Biden regime, Brown decided things hadn’t worked out enough in her favor. She went to Ghana, had a sniff around, and decided that’s where she was from. Maybe she prefers to live in a country where gay marriage is still illegal. Who can blame her? But she doesn’t go into details about why she chose Ghana beyond an anecdote about how her cab driver wasn’t shot after making an illegal U-turn, and the fact that Stevie Wonder told Oprah he was moving there in February 2021. In case you were WONDERing (geddit?), Stevie bought himself a brand new $14M mansion in Bel Air (that’s still in America, sadly), just 9 months later.
Besides the rapacious imbecility, the beastliness of the piece shines brightest as Brown elucidates us on her underlying rationale: her otherness.
Now, if a white person were to make these arguments, they’d almost certainly catch a case. Or at least a CNN Special. But for Brown and her cohorts its perfectly serviceable to quote the wife of a black U.S. Secret Service agent who claims: “we should live out the rest of our days around people who think like us, look like us and feel the same way we feel about our accomplishments.”
Again, imagine a white person saying that about black Americans. Hell, imagine a white person saying that about white Americans!
What screams from the little space there is between the lines of Brown’s verbosity is that she was never looking for a “fair” or “equal” deal in America. She was looking for guilt-based black supremacy. Having failed to achieve it before her retirement age, she wants out. And by this point you’re probably thinking, “Good riddance!” But she won’t let you off the hook that easily.
Skip past the saccharine tale of growing up in Kansas but “never feeling quite at home,” the “great colonizer” epithets aimed at Abraham Lincoln, and the Smollett-level claim that someone outside Joe Biden’s White House screamed the n-word at her this past June (sure!) and you get to some galling greed.
“I know America is the land of opportunity. I respect it,” Brown writes, after trashing it for 6,000 words (and an entire career).
“I send it gratitude for my life, my education and my career. I will never give up my passport. The blue card allows me to travel the world. But I want something more.”
Sorry, what? You’ll never give up your passport? To the racist nation where random men chase your son through the streets of Washington state (more vague and unsubstantiated claims) and where you’re called a “n*gg*r” outside the White House? What kind of message does that send, Ms. Brown?
Well it sends that of a whited sepulcher. A stark, raving hypocrite. A user. A Pharisee. A fully fledged phony. Perfect for her, as “an associate professor of journalism at the University of Maryland”.
And at the end of it all, guess what? I bet she won’t leave. In fact, I bet her passport.
