A.R. Moxon responds to J.D. Vance's recent claim at TPUSA that whites no longer have to apologize for being white:
"What I find truly extraordinary today is this claim that now, in the U.S.A. thanks to Republicans, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore.
It's a statement worth dissecting.
You is interesting, because it suggests that the VP is speaking exclusively to Republicans deemed 'white.'"

"This was known already to anyone paying attention, but it's good to note that we are addressing specifically people for whom whiteness is core to identity.
Have to is interesting, because it suggests that there some sort of threat behind the expectation. These people of whiteness ... it seems they were being forced into this apology by some greater power."

"They've been forced to apologize, apparently from a powerless position, apparently by the existence in our culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. There is another implication, slightly more submerged; a tacit acknowledgement that—like most forced apologies—they weren't ever sorry.
Anymore is interesting, because it suggests that this is an oppression that has been overcome, a victory of justice and equality achieved for white people."

"Oppressed by untold decades of brutal apologizing to their marginalized overlords, forced upon them only because of the color of their skin. Now they are free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, they are free at last to never have to apologize to anyone ever again. Apology was apparently the sole remaining obstacle to racial equality, and now it has been achieved, and there is no better place to celebrate it than the stages of Turning Point USA."

"All of these are interesting.
But apologize ... apologize is extraordinary.
It suggests that white conservatives have apparently been apologizing.
This blows me away, because I honestly don't remember American conservatives apologizing very much, if ever."
