A mothers warning: An upper middle class white woman just like you is warning parents that White Supremacists are needing children for their racist army. Scared of their own shadows and completely oblivious to the very real threats to children online we must reignite the lie that somehow there is a racist under every bed and a Nazi around every corner and they are coming for your children.

There aren't any commies, but those are funny too and just as ridiculous.

You realize that white supremacy actually does still exist in America and is currently going through a resurgence, right?

That's why we're panicking.
Frenzy always helps.

Because it's hysterical to warn people about the dangers of white supremacy and its influence?

One thing that struck me about this is the mother's quote early on in the article:

"They've studied the way that our young men interact online, and they have looked at what these boys need," she said. "And they have learned how to fill those needs in order to entice them into propaganda."

But she doesn't say exactly what these boys need or why no one else in society is able to fill those needs.

The threat is real and no less dangerous to our youth than the recruiting carried out through social media than is the methods used by Isis.

What I see is some in a society that will always have a shadow to fight with, the chosen boogey man has different names and appears at different times but it's still the same fear.

So you've already forgotten that massive white supremacist rally that ended in a person being run over? Or the massive increase in domestic terrorism caused or incited by white supremacists?

Are these things imaginary?

It's hysterical to get hysterical about it....& to justify hysteria.

How One Man Convinced 200 Ku Klux Klan Members To Give Up Their Robes
Excerpted...
Daryl Davis is a blues musician, but he also has what some might call an interesting hobby. For the past 30 years, Davis, a black man, has spent time befriending members of the Ku Klux Klan.

He says once the friendship blossoms, the Klansmen realize that their hate may be misguided. Since Davis started talking with these members, he says 200 Klansmen have given up their robes. When that happens, Davis collects the robes and keeps them in his home as a reminder of the dent he has made in racism by simply sitting down and having dinner with people.

This is partially covered in another article about the same woman:

"The boys [are] consuming media with the 'people are too sensitive' and 'you can't say anything anymore!' themes," Schroeder tweeted. "For these boys, this will ring true — they're getting in trouble for 'nothing.' This narrative allows boys to shed the shame — replacing it w/anger."

To prevent kids from shutting you out, get curious she says. Meet them where they are. "Instead we inquired more: Where did you hear this? Where did you see this? Can you show me that?" she said. "When they showed us, the first thing we tried to do was say, 'I get why this seems funny on the surface. And I totally get why it's confusing.' "

Schroeder started talking to her sons, now 11 and 14, about the hate they were encountering online this past year. Laying that groundwork early, when they're younger and more open, she said, may help them think more critically about the media they consume later.

"I hope that we were able to build with our kids a foundation where they believe that when we say something is not great, maybe they disobey but deep inside there's a little voice that's going to say to them: you know, I should question why this seems so funny and yet I feel like I have to keep it a secret."

Schroeder isn't worried about white male youth themselves, she said, calling this generation "the most open-hearted potentially kindest critical thinking loving group of boys that I've ever seen," she said.

She's worried about how propaganda is being spread online — by weaponizing that benevolence.

I don't have any names.
But there's that spirit in the pix of some prior posts.

In what way? Are you suggesting that simply having concerns about the very real rise of white supremacy is comparable to witch hunts or the red scare?

Did I suggest that?
No...others did.
I responded.
Perhaps you object?

Eh? I'm asking you to elaborate on what you wrote.

I am so very glad we here on RF have at last reached a state of sophistication in which racism and white supremacy are jokes, and anyone who feels they ought to be taken seriously is labeled "hysterical". Makes me proud of RF. We rank right up there with raw sewage these days.
