Breitbart Audience Reacts to Sanders’ Statement “America Was Founded on ‘Racist Principles” by Spewing Racism
In his speech to Liberty University, Sen. Bernie Sanders made the following objectively true statement:
“I would also say that as a nation - the truth is, that a nation which in many ways was created, and I’m sorry to have to say this, from way back on racist principles, that’s a fact - we have come a long way as a nation.”
Have you ever seen a statement more tailor-made for a Breitbart “News” racism grievance fest? Well, of course, that’s exactly what happened next: Sanders: America Was Founded on ‘Racist Principles’.
The article itself isn’t too inflammatory; it simply recounts what Sanders said. But the Breitbart business model doesn’t really require inflammatory articles any more. All they have to do is post something like this and let the commenters do the rest. And boy, do they ever.
Here’s a selection of the Breitbart audience’s reactions; as I write, there are almost 3000 comments in this vein. Some of the commenters fling insults at Sanders (including more than a little antisemitism), while others whine and complain about being falsely accused of racism. But some of them proudly admit to being racists, and even defend racism as a better way to deal with society. Yes, really.
So how racist are the leaders in Africa that sold their own people into slavery? Also name me one …one country that dose not have a skeleton in there closet…you can’t

Anti-racism is codeword for anti-white.
Signed,
A proud racist.
[…]
America ready for a socialist, Jew to be president?
[…]
Peddling race ideology and Identity politics are the principles of History’s most deadly tyrants
[…]
Bernie, you are a complete and utter moron. The majority of people that voted for Barack was that he was black, well O.K., half-black. His “ideas” were a far far second.
[…]
Another self-hating American.
[…]
Where are these communists coming from. Heard Joe McCarthy was a nut, but me thinks he knew what he was talking about.
[…]
Hahaha these liberals have so much white guilt, they rather thugs rape and kill white people, just to make the non thugs know they can walk all over us. How is that a good thing!?
[…]
Attention white guilt liberals like Sanders: line up now to sign up for your assault, burglary, and rape from the black thugs you are told not to judge!
[…]
And don’t cry out for me to come save you with my evil firearm
[…]
Rumor has it Jesse Jackson calls Bernie Hymie when he’s talking to Louis Farakhan. They love socialist jews…….in public.
[…]
Is there anything more insipid and boring than an old white person who can’t stand being white?
[…]
An overgrown manchild who can’t wash the white off in the white house?
[…]
This just in…….New Black Panther party calls Sanders Hymie from Hymont.
[…]
Don’t worry, any day the ghetto thugs are going to rise up and try to take over as the “violent” est ….. before they are put down by the “violencia” est.
[…]
This is a new one
a white, Jewish guy playing a black race card.[…]
I’m outraged that our dialogue and history has been twisted to such an extent we believe it is a bad thing.
Racism is a useful building block for creating stable and harmonious civilizations. Some of the most long lasting and stable civilizations in world history are the most racist, such as China or Korea.
Naive blindness to racial differences is a disaster in the long term. We abandoned racism only 50 years ago, and look how much weaker and more fractured our societies and communities are now. We will not survive another 50 years of this.
[…]
Any people that wholeheartedly adopts ‘anti-racism’ will be erased from history within a few generations.
Some of the strongest and most enduring civilizations and peoples in world history are the most racist and racially exclusionary - the Han Chinese, the Jews, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Punjabi Indians, the Zulus, etc. etc.
The only morality is civilization. While I don’t advocate racial hatred, complete rejection of racism - rejection of ethnic in-group preference - in the long term destroys civilization. It is currently playing an important role in the destruction of our civilization right now.
[…]
Almost every country in the world was founded on racism.
‘Anti-racism’ is a bizarre modernist concept, with no precedent in history.
No people that fully embraces ‘anti-racism’ will survive for more than a few generations. Racism - in-group preference - is necessary for the survival of any people. The most demographically successful ethnicities - the Han Chinese, the various Indian groups, Africans, Arabs - are the most racist.
Rejection of ‘Racism’ is civilizational suicide.
[…]
The founders were very, very racist. Read any of their writings on the race.
But the thing is, they were right. The races aren’t the same. Black people aren’t as well suited, on average, to living in complex western civilization as northern Europeans, or of forming stable, liberty enhancing high-trust governments. Look at the story with literally every city that has become black majority and thus come under black governance. Disaster after disaster, with no exceptions of success stories to point to.
What is called ‘conservative’ today would have been ‘progressive,’ even radically so, just a generation or two today.
Don’t piss on your heritage. America was explicitly conceived as a white nation. That’s simply the reality of it, until 1965. It has been in perpetual decline since that idea was abandoned. Too bad the modern GOP, and most modern conservatives, are too ignorant and cowardly to say this.
This is why I say Breitbart “News” has become nothing more than a mainstream conservative version of Stormfront. They encourage and invite these kinds of horrific comments; it’s their business model.
