What’s in Racist Name?

Canceling Non-White Cancel Culture

I noticed the names that were mentioned in an article I glanced over. While I am somewhat familiar with these individuals, I don’t really “know” them and would need to look them up to ensure I’m “right.” I’m not going to.

That’s so wrong of me but I’m stating it anyway: These people all appear to be “ethnic.” Rapidly to replace all non-whites, the whole media sphere that the federal government licenses is bowing down and turning Fox.

Here’s the list I glimpsed and am reacting to in a knee-jerk way, just skimming the surface:

Joy Reid

Jonathan Capehart

José Díaz-Balart

Ayman Mohyeldin

Alex Wagner

Rachel Maddow

Katie Phang

All of these people look “ethnic” in some way. Whether Black Americans like Joy, Hispanic as some names suggest, or Katie who is Asian-American, they all have “issues.” That is, they are not white straight.

I believe Rachel Maddow was not yet cancelled, but Trump wants her gone as he announced last week. She is LBGTQI+. I think she is married to a woman. So, she makes the “issue” list.
