Times Crisis of its pending demise

Confusing a crisis of lost respect for Government and media handmaidens. Call it the crisis of whiteness. White anxiety has fueled this year’s political tumult in the West: Britain’s surprising vote to exit the European Union, Donald J. Trump’s unexpected capture of the Republican presidential nomination in the United States, the rise of right-wing nationalism in Norway, Hungary, Austria and Greece. Whiteness, in this context, is more than just skin color. You could define it as membership in the “ethno-national majority,” but that’s a mouthful. What it really means is the privilege of not being defined as “other.” Whiteness means being part of the group whose appearance, traditions, religion and even food are the default norm. It’s being a person who, by unspoken rules, was long entitled as part of “us” instead of “them.” But national and racial identity were often conflated for the white majority. That identity felt to many white people like one of the most important pillars holding up their world — and now it seems under threat. [FULL] Right.  The nation's discontent has nothing to do with the onslaught of illegal immigrants, including a million+ undocumented Muslims constituting the greatest internal security threat to us, ever.  Another example of how the Times (ilk) are so caught up in leftist piety that they completely miss the boat—by intent. It gave me warm fuzzies to read earlier this week that the Times  last year suffered a 97% fall in revenue.
