Great Replacement

Democrat representative from Texas, Gene Wu, recently said, “the day that the Latino, African-American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day that we start winning because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country. And do what is needed for everyone. And to make things fair. But the problem is our communities are divided. They are completely divided.”

Obviously, this is an extremely racist comment, and proof that the “great replacement theory” is not some Q-Anon conspiracy theory created to drum up racist sentiments among white people. It is real. White people have seen this going on for decades. Now, the people who are pushing the great replacement theory are admitting it out loud. They want to replace white people in this country. They want to control the politics, the wealth and the culture of the country. And to be clear, when he says, “to make things fair” what he means is to discriminate against white people.

The Asian community in the United States of America has the best life outcomes, as far as wealth, education, crime rates, and murder rates – the best. Whites are second. Hispanics are third. African-Americans are fourth. There’s no system set up that favors Asians over whites, and that favors whites over Hispanics, and that favors Hispanics over blacks. Maybe the system is extremely fair. Have we ever thought about that? And therefore, the life outcomes that people get are what their talents and their efforts and their life decisions get them. That’s the reality that people like Gene Wu do not want to face. 

These people who are falling behind in this country, do share the same oppressor and that oppressor is the belief that they are being oppressed. That’s the biggest oppressor of anyone who was falling behind in America. Where does that stem from? It stems from their erroneous belief that America is set up to give them everything that they need. And when they see that they are not being handed everything that they need or want from America, they view that as oppression. They look around and see white people with a house and cars and money, and immediately assume that the United States is just handing white people all of that, and they conclude that their lack of a house or of a car or money is oppression.

In reality, the overwhelming majority of the people who have money in this country, earned it. They earned it in a lot of different ways. They earned it with their talents; they earned it with their hard work; and they earned it by making good life decisions. The “trust fund baby” that is always thrown in the face of successful people by the Marxists is a Red Herring used to distract people from the reality of life – that the vast majority of the people must earn their way in the world. Things are not given to you. And if you expect everything to be given to you, then you’re not going to get the things you want and you will naturally blame oppression. They never see all of the hard work, the effort, the sacrifice, the good decisions that led to the white people enjoying success. All they see is the success, and immediately conclude that they are being oppressed because they do not have the same success.

In high school, when most people see the D1 scholarship athlete or the valedictorian, they assume that the athlete was just given natural athletic ability or the valedictorian was just given natural intelligence. They didn’t see all the hard work, the effort, the sacrifice that those people put in to achieve their success. They simply concluded that life is unfair because they weren’t given the same abilities at birth. But if you followed the achievers around every day, you would be shocked at how many more hours the athlete puts in every week working out than you do, or how many more hours per day the valedictorian studies than you do. The only barriers that are preventing most people from achieving the level of success that they desire are in their own mind which dictates their effort and their commitment. There are no artificial demographic barriers that prevent people from succeeding in America.

If a black minority immigrant, like Barack Obama, can become President of the United States, if he can hold the most powerful position in the Western world, there are no roadblocks to what you want to do regardless of your skin color or your national origin. There is no oppression. Life is hard. Deal with it. Life being hard is not oppression. It’s a reality. The good life is not handed out to people free of charge. The reason why white people succeeded in the United States of America is because when they came over here in the mass immigration in the late 19th century and early 20th century, there was no welfare system. There were no food stamps, there was no free housing program, there was an opportunity to earn your way. And if you didn’t earn your way, you starved to death. And since every human being has a survival instinct, the people who came here worked extremely hard and earned their way. It wasn’t given to them. And that hard work, set-up generational success.

Most immigrants who are coming to the United States these days, are not coming here to work hard and take advantage of the opportunities that America offers; they are coming here to take advantage of the socialist welfare state that has been set-up. They are leaving their socialist home country because it ran out of other people’s money and could no longer provide for its people, so they come here to suck America dry until America becomes so poor that it can no longer provide for its people. We currently have $38 trillion of debt that was created by our welfare state and massive government fraud. If not for first generation immigrants, communist Zohran Mamdani, whose Mayoral platform was “everything is for free”, would not have been elected, not even close. The first-generation immigrant who came here expecting that the government give them everything voted for the candidate who promised to give them everything.

What they do not realize is that the overwhelming majority of white millionaires and billionaires in this country, have an ancestor who came to the United States of America, as a poor immigrant, as one of the “wretched refuge”, and that person worked really hard to get a better life for himself and his kids, and his kids work really hard to get a better life for themselves and their kids, and then one of those kids became a millionaire or a billionaire. It was not handed to them. Government does not hand out wealth. Government hands out poverty. If you’re on welfare, if you’re on food stamps, if you’re on public housing, the government is subsidizing your poverty, not building your wealth. And the only reason why white people succeed more than those other groups that Representative Wu named is because white people are not expecting the government to hand them wealth, the ones who become wealthy want the government to get out of their way so they can fully take advantage of opportunities. The ones who are stuck in poverty, are the ones who expect the government to create wealth for them, and government never does, all they do is create poverty. And when the likes of Representative Wu take over, everyone will be equal in their poverty, just ask all the New Yorkers these days suffering under Mamdani. Life has become really bad, really quick under the “everything is free” regime of the new communist mayor of New York.
