Capitol violence: CNN applies race standards to resolve listing of world leaders

Let me ask you this. The leaders of which international locations would you think about to be “world leaders”? Immediately, America and China come to thoughts. Considering its army energy, Russia must be within the listing someplace. Also India, Japan and a sprinkling of the main European powers, like Germany, France or the UK. Maybe even Canada or Australia.
Sounds cheap? Not in case you ask the individuals at CNN.
Following yesterday’s violence on the US Capitol constructing, CNN did a run down of world leaders who had condemned the incident and known as for a peaceable transition of energy.
CNN article itemizing ‘world leaders’ who condemned Capitol Hill violence CNN made a reasonably complete listing, compiling reactions from the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and Israel.
Guess who they neglected? India!
Who else was in CNN’s listing? The minor European powers, resembling Austria, Netherlands, Norway and Poland. Even tiny New Zealand. Even Iceland! And, would you imagine it, even Scotland. Someone inform CNN that Scotland just isn’t even an impartial nation!
Now, with due respect to all these international locations, it’s laborious to see how the chief of the Netherlands or Iceland could possibly be thought of a world chief if the Prime Minister of India just isn’t. I don’t suppose the nice individuals of Iceland would disagree.
It’s unimaginable to not discover this. It seems like CNN drew a line yesterday. They acknowledged solely the reactions from white majority democracies. They appeared too harm to acknowledge that non-white democracies may categorical sympathy for the United States. And that’s hardcore racism, Nineteen Fifties type.
This is the true face of worldwide wokeness. They speak an ideal recreation. But on the within, they nonetheless have a Nineteen Fifties type racist view of the world.
Okay, so what are the possibilities that this was only a mistake? First of all, forgetting India whereas itemizing world leaders? Seriously? Second, the CNN varieties are obsessive about problems with race, class and gender. These are individuals who get up in the course of the night time, sweating throughout, fearful that they could have used the unsuitable pronoun for anyone. How may they not discover that they neglected India?
And not simply India, thoughts you. All different democracies, which have non-white majorities, have been neglected. Coincidence? CNN additionally had Ecuador and Colombia on their listing. Both are over 80% white (or descendants of Spanish whites combined with native populations).
Not simply white, however Christian. All the international locations talked about by CNN additionally simply occurred to be overwhelmingly Christian (excluding Israel). So which was it, CNN? Which standards did you of us decide on: race or faith? So woke…
Let me attempt to see if there are another excuses for CNN right here. Perhaps India was not included as a result of the liberals at CNN simply don’t like PM Modi? First, of all, grown ups ought to be capable of distinguish between their views about India and their views about PM Modi. But, we’re speaking about woke liberals right here; in order that ship sailed a very long time in the past. And it wouldn’t clarify something anyway. The liberals at CNN despise the appropriate wing governments of UK, Israel and Poland, however they didn’t suppose twice about together with them.
So it truly is about race. Or faith. You decide.
Maybe it was simply ego? India could also be an enormous energy, however we’re nonetheless a really poor nation. Perhaps it simply harm the ego of CNN to acknowledge {that a} nation so poor as India can be instructing classes to America?
Okay, so the liberal elite values individuals based mostly both on race, faith or cash. So woke…
But then, what about Japan? They’re wealthy and they’re a democracy. Japan additionally condemned the violence on the US Capitol. But CNN didn’t point out Japan anyplace. So it is about race. No doubt left now.
When this sort of query is raised, there may be one distressing response that comes from Indians themselves. Why ought to we care about them “validating” us? So what if CNN didn’t point out India? Who cares?
This response is comprehensible, but it surely actually belongs to the previous. This just isn’t the Nineties that we had been insecure and would look hopefully at each Western establishment begging to be taken significantly. Today, we already know what we’re value. Pointing out somebody’s racism just isn’t asking for validation. It is telling them, calmly and firmly, that they’re 50 years behind the curve. At greatest, it’s like telling somebody that their fly is open. They higher zip up earlier than anybody else notices.
America has already embarrassed itself sufficient with a banana republic like present and the violence on Capitol Hill. The very last thing Americans want is CNN embarrassing them additional with Nineteen Fifties type racism.
