White man who hates white people defeats black woman who hates white people.
The Texas Senate Democrat primary came down to a race between a black woman and a white man who both hate white people. And in a perfect embodiment of white privilege, the white man won. But woke white people are just better at hating white people than any black person could.
Still some are asking whether hating white people is really the best strategy for flipping Texas?
Democrats did everything they could to rig their Texas Senate primary for State Rep. Talarico over Rep. Jasmine Crockett because they figured that the former public school teacher and occasional woke preacher who describes god as “non-binary” and claims that multiculturalism is the kingdom of heaven would alienate fewer voters.
But Talarico, who is a white man, seems to hate white people more than Crockett ever could.
In recently unearthed tweets, James Talarico described whiteness as a “virus” that white people spread “through our words, our actions, and our systems.” He argued that “we don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious” and that “the only cure is diagnosing the virus within ourselves and taking dramatic actions to contain the spread. The first small step is proclaiming loudly and unequivocally that #BlackLivesMatter.”
In another tweet, he claimed that “radicalized white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in our country” and that “as a white man, I’m susceptible to the same radicalization. Thankfully, I was exposed to diversity at a young age and explicitly taught the values of equality, inclusion, and justice. But not every young white boy is so lucky.”
Talarico then bragged that he was writing “legislation to explicitly teach ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ in our schools” and mandating that schools hire DEI political officers. That bill ordered that students be taught “the history of white supremacy” which is to say that America is racist.
Anything short of that, Talarico claimed, would be “to teach our students a whitewashed version of American history” which is to say a history about white people written by white people.
And what do white people have to do with America anyway?
Two years after Americans decisively rejected wokeness, Democrats are trying to bring it back by elevating a man who calls unironically whiteness a virus that white people spread and rants about woke academic neologisms like “heteropatriarchy” which is to men marrying women.
Non-Hispanic white people make up 40% of Texas. Hispanics make up another 40% and many of them, despite the best efforts of the identity politics crowd, also view themselves as white. And see being white in a far more positive light than white leftists like Talarico choose to do.White men created Texas and still play a major role in state politics. Is hating 40% of the electorate really a good political strategy? --->READ MORE HERE

While running as a moderate with bipartisan appeal, Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, for the Democratic Senate nomination, has a history of making controversial statements on matters of religion, race, gender, border security and beyond.
With Talarico in the national spotlight for the first time, many commentators and strategists are resurfacing some of his past remarks. Among them is a 2021 video of Talarico on the Texas House floor in Austin opposing a bill to ban men from women’s sports and claiming that "God is non-binary."
"God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary," said Talarico, adding, "Trans children are God’s children, made in God’s own image."
A self-identified Presbyterian seminarian, Talarico casts many of his political stances in Christian and biblical language. However, while speaking on a January episode of "The Ezra Klein Show," Talarico appeared to equate Christianity with other religions, including Hinduism and Islam.
In a video going viral on social media, Talarico says in a sermon, 'Did they teach you in Sunday school that Jesus Christ himself was a radical feminist?'
"I believe that Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, but I also believe that other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways, with their own simple structures. And I’ve learned more about my tradition by learning more about Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam and Judaism. And so, I see these beautiful faith traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos," he said.
Despite his use of biblical language, Talarico’s stances on many core religious issues stand in stark contrast with most traditional Christian denominations.
He has used the Bible to defend abortion and, on his campaign website, advocates codifying Roe v. Wade into national law. On an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" last year, Talarico said the story of Jesus Christ’s incarnation justifies his support for abortion.
"I say all this in the context of abortion, because before God comes over Mary, and we have the incarnation, God asks for Mary’s consent… so to me, that is an affirmation in one of our most central stories that creation has to be done with consent. You cannot force someone to create… so that’s how I come down on that side of the issue."
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022, Talarico said, "This summer, more than half our population became second-class citizens. Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became the property of the State. And nothing is more un-Christian."
In a video going viral on social media, Talarico appears to be giving a sermon in a church in which he says, "Did they teach you in Sunday school that Jesus Christ himself was a radical feminist?"
Beyond religion, he has also taken stances that break with common scientific understanding. In a Texas House Committee on Public Education hearing, he stated, "Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes; in fact, there are six."
During the same hearing, he went even further, saying, "The point is that biologically speaking, scientifically speaking, sex is a spectrum, and oftentimes can be very ambiguous."
In another sermon, he said the use of the term "woman" in the context of women’s rights should not be understood as an "exhaustive" term.
"Our trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state Capitol, and you better believe I’ll be giving sermons on that too," he said, continuing, "So when I use the word ‘woman,’ it should not be understood as an exhaustive lens through which we understand, examine and interrogate patriarchy. Similar to how we specify anti-Black racism."
In a series of 2020 tweets, Talarico referred to racism as a "virus" spread by all White people, regardless of whether they exhibit its "symptoms."
"White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go —through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious," he wrote, adding, "The only cure is diagnosing the virus within ourselves and taking dramatic actions to contain the spread. The first small step is proclaiming loudly and unequivocally that #BlackLivesMatter."
On the Senate campaign trail, Talarico has framed his candidacy as one in opposition to billionaires, who he said are "destroying" the U.S. --->READ MORE HERE
