Check Mate, Honkey

Written by John (the other John).

In the game of chess, you have white pieces battling with black pieces, with the goal to 
put the opponents’ King in a position in which any movement they do would result in defeat; at this point, that King who cannot escape getting killed is in “checkmate”. Although chess is just a game, today, life is imitating the art of this game.

Today in life, instead of black and white pieces warring on a chess board, instead it is the woke definition of “blackness” and “whiteness” that are combatting their ideas of governance. For the purposes of this article, I will not analyze the woke definitions of “whiteness” and “blackness”, but I will instead focus on woke ‘blackness” attacking “whiteness” (with the assistance and encouragement of media, academia, big tech, corporations, big pharma, government, athletic leagues, China, etc...). The two main points I will discuss are:

• looking/not looking at black people, and
• acknowledging/not acknowledging the significance of race as a human identifier

First, as to looking at black people under wokeness. When a white person looks at a black person, the black person will allege “racism” because it is implicit that whitey’s only thought is that the black person is going to/did commit a crime. (See: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJav36Nbn58). Alternatively, when a white person does 
not notice a black person in their field of vision, the black person will allege “racism” because it is implicit that whitey thinks that the black person is invisible and insignificant. (See link to video of Michelle Obama accusing a white lady of racism for not noticing her holiness at an ice cream parlour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSB0sqDvg2k). So basically, if a honkey looks at a black person, then they are “racist”; and if a honkey does not look at a black person, then they are “racist”. There is no 3 rd option. In either scenario, you are “racist”.

Second, as to acknowledging the concept of race in daily life. “White fragility” is defined as “discomfort and defensiveness on the part of a white person when confronted by information about racial inequality and injustice”. So:

• if a honkey says that they acknowledge race in their everyday life, then they are “racist” by admission, or
• if the honkey says that they do not acknowledge race (other than the “human race”), then they are “racist” for refusing/failing to acknowledge race, or
• if the honkey defends him/herself from this accusation, then this act of defense alone is evidence of their “white fragility” (and hence, their “racism”), or
• if the honkey remains silent, then they are guilty of “racism” by default.

There are no other options. So no matter how you respond, you are “a f’kn racist”.

So as you can see, life has imitated art; and in this game known as life, the rules have been altered so when the white pieces have been cornered by the black pieces, whitey is forbidden to make any move because he/she will be defeated with the allegation of “racism”.

So with the new woke rules of this game, the black pieces can always tell the white pieces, “checkmate, honkey”.
